Chapter 197: Don't startle the snake
Meng Zhiyi turned back to Xingniang and said, "You are optimistic about Xiao Aci here, you must not leave an inch, it has been like this recently."
Xingniang nodded hurriedly.
Just now, she also heard what Meng Zhiyi and the winter solstice and the guard said, and she also became vigilant in her heart.
Meng Zhiyi hurriedly walked out, "Where did the winter solstice go?"
The little maid in the courtyard hurriedly replied, "Sister Winter Solstice, it seems that she went out just now."
Meng Zhiyi didn't find her, so he had to go to the place where she lived in person.
Seeing Meng Zhiyi being so anxious, several little maids hurriedly followed behind, "Mrs. Shizi, do you need to find something, do you want us to help find it?"
Meng Zhiyi was going to ask them to help find it, but when he turned his head and thought again, the painting was now seen by fewer people, the better.
"I'm just looking for a little toy I asked the winter solstice to make for Xiao Aci just now, and I don't know where she stuffed it."
"Then let's help Mrs. Shizi find it!"
Meng Zhiyi nodded, and just like that, he stood in the middle of the room on the winter solstice, "Then you can find it!" I'll wait here."
A few little maids went to look for it, but they didn't dare to rummage too hard, after all, Dong Solstice is now the most favored maid by Meng Zhiyi's side.
Meng Zhiyi didn't see Fang Cai's painting in the room on the winter solstice, and the winter solstice came back soon.
"Big lady, I have something to do with you." Dong Solstice wanted to talk to Meng Zhiyi alone.
"It just so happens that I'm looking for you too."
Meng Zhiyi took the winter solstice and went directly to the room.
"Xingniang, you go find Xuanyi." Meng Zhiyi also separated her.
Xuanyi should have gone to tell what he wanted to do just now, and he hasn't come back yet.
The winter solstice closed the doors and windows, and then came to Meng Zhiyi's side and lowered his voice, "Big lady, I just saw a very familiar figure in the alley in the backyard."
"Who is it?"
"I look like a white peony, but she's tightly wrapped."
Meng Zhiyi: "Then can you see it?"
Dong Solstice nodded, "Her walking posture is quite distinctive, I have an impression, but I'm not sure."
"Why did she come to Kyoto? How could it still be behind that alley in our backyard?"
Meng Zhiyi muttered, "By the way, where did you put that fake painting?"
"I've put it in the chest in the lady's storeroom."
"Hurry up and get it." Meng Zhiyi was very nervous, "Don't let others see it."
"Okay." Dong Solstice didn't know why Meng Zhiyi was suddenly so nervous, but since she had ordered, she ran to get the painting as quickly as possible.
Meng Zhiyi was also thinking about what he said about the winter solstice just now, seeing Bai Shao.
In the previous affairs of Jiangnan City, Bai Shao's brother and sister were also interfering. This matter was only later when she heard Zheng Huwei mention it.
In short, although Meng Zhiyi has cooperated with the two brothers and sisters at the same table before, she also knows very well that these two brothers and sisters are organized by themselves, and their purpose is only to muddy the waters.
Now that Bai Peony has appeared in Kyoto again, I'm afraid that they will make trouble again.
The current situation is different from that in Jiangnan City, and the most important thing is that she is now the wife of the prince, and she is one step closer to the royal family.
The winter solstice soon returned with the paintings. Z.br>
"Big lady, what's wrong with this painting?"
Meng Zhiyi didn't answer her immediately, but spread out the painting on the table and looked at it carefully.
After looking so closely, he found that there was a fisherman in the lower left corner of the landscape painting, and although he was wearing a hat, he also showed half of his face.
On closer inspection, the hat worn by the fisherman was only a few simple brushstrokes, but it looked like a dragon with simple strokes.
Dragon, this thing can't just appear in the painting, although Meng Zhiyi didn't notice it before
What exactly does this hat look like in the original work, but what was found this time is definitely not a coincidence.
It's just that this dragon alone doesn't mean much.
At this time, Genichi appeared at the door.
"Mrs. Shizi, you look for me."
Meng Zhiyi glanced at the winter solstice, asked her to stand outside, and looked at Xuanyi at the door, "You come in."
Although he is a thinking guard, he is also a foreign man, so it is not easy to enter Meng Zhiyi's room directly.
However, since Meng Zhiyi had given orders, Xuan Yi only hesitated for a moment and walked in.
"Lady Shizi, what are your orders?"
Meng Zhiyi pointed to the painting, "You come and see this, there is something abnormal."
Genichi looked at the painting seriously.
Meng Zhiyi went up to the side again, also staring at the fisherman in the painting.
After taking a look at it, Gengen didn't find anything.
He didn't study the paintings at all, and he couldn't tell whether they were real or fake.
Meng Zhiyi knew what he meant, so he pointed his finger at the hat on the fisherman's body, "Look here."
Xuanyi's gaze fell, and he soon realized that something was wrong.
He wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Meng Zhiyi with some surprise, Meng Zhiyi also read it from his eyes, and Xuanyi already understood.
Meng Zhiyi lowered his voice, "What I want to ask you now is, can you see who this fisherman represents?"
Genichi looked at the painting seriously, "This fisherman only shows half of his face, but ......."
Xuan Yi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Meng Zhiyi, "This fisherman has an ink spot on half of his earlobe, and this ink spot looks very much like a mole. Of the people I know, there is only one person who has a word on the right earlobe."
Meng Zhiyi's heart also lifted up, and asked softly, "Who is it?"
In fact, she also had a guess in her heart.
Xuanyi pressed his palm on the smooth tabletop, and a cloud of slap print heat appeared on the dark tabletop, and he quickly wrote a word on the heat with his fingers.
"Nine."
In just a second, the heat was already dissipating into the air.
But Meng Zhiyi already knew it.
Meng Zhiyi glanced at Xuanyi, and when the words came to his lips, he held back.
She knew that when she was in Jiangnan City, Lu Nanfeng was very close to the Nine Emperor Princes.
The two of them are definitely not an ordinary monarch and minister, so they must have a friendship. If this painting is added, it is easy for people to lead the relationship between the two people to the crime of rebellion.
But the news that Dong Solstice heard before was that now only the eldest prince and the third prince are vying for power in the court, but the nine princes seem to be out of the way.
The point of gravity of the facts is certainly not entirely like this.
Xuanyi didn't expect that someone would actually put his hand into the garden. But fortunately, Mrs. Shizi was able to find out about this so quickly.
There should still be a chance to save things.
"Lady Shizi, what should we do now? But by command." Xuanyi clenched his fists and looked at Meng Zhiyi.
At this moment, his attitude is completely different from before. It was because he knew that this painting might deal a very fatal blow to Lu Nanfeng at a certain moment.
Meng Zhiyi also understood from Xuanyi's attitude towards her that the relationship between the Nine Emperor Princes and Lu Nanfeng was really unusual.
Meng Zhiyi pondered for a moment, "We can't startle the snake now. Go and find me someone who is very skilled at copying, and who I can trust."
"Yes."
Genichi asked again, "Then you need to leave this painting to me to deal with."
"I'll come. You find this person as soon as possible."
"Yes." Genichi walked out.
Meng Zhiyi looked around and placed the painting under the most conspicuous dresser in the room.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
"Winter solstice." Meng Zhiyi called her in, "You pay more attention to the situation in the Lu Mansion next door, and see who Mrs. Lu has been taking the initiative with recently."
Solstice nodded.
At night, Meng Zhiyi was already resting on the bed.
Outside, Xuanyi's voice came from.
"Caught a sneaky man in the backyard, and that person named to see Mrs. Shiko."
"Did she say her name?" Meng Zhiyi glanced at the winter solstice on the same side.
"She only said it was the old man. He said that as long as Mrs. Shizi saw this thing, she would definitely see her."
When Dong Solstice heard this, he hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door.
Genichi placed the object in her hand in the palm of her hand.
Dong Solstice took this thing all the way and handed it to Meng Zhiyi.
It's a dice.
Meng Zhiyi only glanced at it, and then thought of someone, "Bring her over to see me."
"Yes."
A short time later, Genichi brought a man wrapped in a cloak to the door.
Meng Zhiyi was also fully dressed and was waiting for her.
Dong Solstice walked to the door and glanced at the man who only showed a pair of eyes, and then reacted.
"You go in!"
The man nodded at the winter solstice.
Meng Zhiyi was sitting by the charcoal fire, and raised his eyes to look at the person standing in front of him, "It's cold outside, roast your hands first."
But the person in front of him pounced and knelt in front of Meng Zhiyi.
"Miss, please save my brother."
The person who came was Bai Shao.
Meng Zhiyi asked, "What's wrong with your brother?"
"My brother was captured, and I tracked it all the way to Kyoto. But I don't know anyone here, so I can only come and beg the eldest lady."
Meng Zhiyi: "Then do you know who caught your brother?"
"It should be the Zhou family."
Meng Zhiyi asked, "Why did the Zhou family arrest your brother? What have you done?"
Bai Shao hesitated for a moment, "I don't know about this. Ever since something like that happened in Gangnam City, we've been living in seclusion in the mountains. But once my brother was taken away when he went down to the mountain to buy."
Meng Zhiyi didn't believe this.
However, since Bai Shao was so dishonest, Meng Zhiyi didn't want to be implicated in anything from the Zhou family because of this matter.
"I'm staying in the inner courtyard of this deep house now, and I want to go to Zhou's house to save people, but I'm afraid it's not so easy. But you can stay in the garden for the long haul."
It was also the worst plan that Bai Shao had made before he came.
Because she also learned about Meng Zhiyi's current situation, she also wanted to live in the Chengyi Garden to cover her identity.
Meng Zhiyi said this exactly what she wanted.
