Hearing this, Song Wan looked at his suspicious expression, knowing that if she didn't explain it clearly, it might be detrimental to their next plan.... Thinking of this, she took out an object from her arms and handed it to Xiao Beichen, and said softly: "This is the figure I saw in my dream, and there is a spider mark on the elbow of the person behind the scenes, so I will ask Pei Ze to help me trace it outside." ”

"Dreams? Spider? Xiao Beichen frowned suspiciously, looked down at the spider image carefully, and said in a low voice, "What does this mean?" How come I can't understand what you're saying? ”

"Xiao Beichen" didn't know if he really didn't know, or if he was pretending to be confused with her, but as long as she thought that the ending of his last life was betrayed and died so embarrassed, she couldn't be indifferent...."The last time I fought with those men in black in the bamboo forest, I had already found that they were obviously more powerful than they were at the Lantern Festival, and now the Eighth Emperor is making frequent moves, which means that his control over poisons has reached the point of perfection, if we can't find that person and their hiding place again, I am afraid that in the end, it will be the innocent people who will suffer. ”

"So you mean, to investigate for yourself?"

"Not bad" Song Wan nodded affirmatively, and reminded softly as if she suddenly thought of something: "What the Eighth Prince did, I don't believe that Concubine Xi would be completely unaware of it, and I had a few encounters with Concubine Xi when I was young, and I should be able to find some words from it, in today's stalemate, maybe this is the only breakthrough we can find." ”

"No" Xiao Beichen waved his hand and firmly vetoed: "Let's not say that you are pregnant now, even if you don't, I won't let you get involved, this is my own business, I am sure, you stay in the house until you give birth to the child safely, that is the greatest help to me." ”

"Xiao Beichen"

"No need to say it again" He interrupted Song Wan's words that he still wanted to dissuade again, and said categorically: "I have my own plan for this matter, as for Pei Ze's side, don't worry, you can't die." ”

"Lord, Chief Meng asks to see"

"Someone come in!"

After the words fell, knowing that they should have important matters to discuss, Song Wan said with interest: "In this case, then I will retire first, and do not hinder the four princes from handling official business and say goodbye"....

Looking at the back of Song Wan turning away, Xiao Beichen raised her eyebrows and thought about it, she knew her character, if she couldn't find anyone, she would definitely risk her life again, and the uncontrollability of the situation would be too great at that time, this was not what he wanted to see...."Lord"

"How, have you found Pei Ze's trace?"

"The subordinates tracked all the way to Luoxiang Village and found a thing, lord, you see" After that, Meng Yu handed the list and the remnants of the cigarette barrel to Xiao Beichen, and explained: "This contains the information of everyone in the Xiao Mansion, and the subordinates thought that it should be that Lord Pei was attacked by the man in black during the secret investigation with this thing, so he used the chimney shell to steal to the hillside, and these things were unintentionally searched by the subordinates at the foot of the mountain, and the subordinates have sent people to track them in that area on a large scale, I believe that there will be news from Master Pei soon. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen picked up the list and looked at it, and found that there were only four people left on it that had not been confirmed, which was consistent with Song Wan's statement just now, but...."Don't startle the snake in this matter" He walked to the candle and burned the letter, and then continued to instruct: "Send someone to secretly protect the imperial concubine and keep an eye on Liu Shuzhai, once there is any trouble, report it to me immediately." ”

"Yes"

"Also, I'm going to go to Jinan in person in the past two days, you and Uncle Feng are staying in the mansion, what's the matter to discuss when I come back, understand?"

"The Lord is secretly looking for evidence for Master Pei?"

"Pei Ze is still useful to Xiao Mansion" Xiao Beichen tapped on the table, his eyes flashed, and he sneered: "Besides, I can't accept the gift of the eighth brother plainly, otherwise I should panic if my heart is true!" ”

"Yes" Meng Yu nodded lightly and said solemnly: "The lord can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely follow the instructions to guard the Xiao Mansion until the lord returns"....

On the official road, Pei Ze disguised himself as an ordinary person and shuttled through the street, waiting to go to a bulletin board to look at the notice that he had been regarded as a suspect, and suddenly his heart was clear, knowing that this was the conspiracy of the Eighth Prince, as long as someone toasted and did not eat and drink, he would do everything he could until the person bowed down and confessed to the minister, this plan can not be described as evil!

"It seems that Pei Mansion can't go back for the time being" Pei Ze thought secretly as he walked: If you go directly to the other courtyard now, I'm afraid it will affect Yulan and them, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate..."Master Pei? His thoughts were interrupted, and looking at the woman in front of him who was obviously dressed as a maid, Pei Ze said vigilantly: "I'm not, you recognize the wrong person." ”

"Lord Pei, please stay" Green Yan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and after looking around and no one noticed their side, he lowered his voice and said: "Don't be nervous, Lord Pei, the slave is from the Xiao Mansion, and I am here to search for Lord Pei's whereabouts on the order of the imperial concubine." ”

Song Wan? She is the most cautious, when will she have a new maid by her side? Thinking of this, Pei Zehu doubted: "This girl, don't say that I am not the person you say I am, even if it is, why should I believe you?" ”

"The slave understands" Green Smoke took out an object from her bosom, on which was a letter with Song Wan's handwriting, and after handing it to Pei Ze, she whispered to her: "The slave and maid have no intention of offending Lord Pei, mainly because this is a letter written by the imperial concubine herself, in order to let you go to the old place to wait for her when you find Lord Pei, and she will find evidence to prove your innocence." ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze opened the letter and found that it was really Song Wan's handwriting in the past, and his heart suddenly softened, and he did not doubt that he said in a deep voice: "Where is your imperial concubine now?" ”

"Master Pei doesn't need to worry" Seeing that the prey had been hooked, Lu Yan smiled with a dark smile: "The imperial concubine has recently been inconvenient to leave the house because of Concubine Yao, but three days later it will be the day to go up the mountain to pray for blessings, and the imperial concubine will avoid her eyes at that time, and Lord Pei is waiting in the old place, she will definitely go to the appointment on time." ”

"Okay" Pei Ze nodded lightly, clenched the letter in his hand, and said firmly: "I'll wait for her, you go back and tell Song Wan that no matter how long I will wait for her there!" This pun tone, some words can't be said to Song Wan in person, so he used this reply to say his mind vaguely, hoping that she would understand but not wanting her to go far for this, so in the back and forth entanglement, he was already willing.....

"Well, did you get the word on as planned?" Liu Shuzhai, Yao Xuetang looked at the green smoke that had just come back, and asked nervously.

"Back to Niangniang, Master Pei has taken the bait, now wait for three days from now for us to have a 'stolen goods and get it', at that time, even if the imperial concubine has great ability, it is not easy to explain it on the side of the four princes, after all, once the crime of seeing a foreign man in private is established, the estrangement between them will definitely deepen, and Lord Pei is still a repeat offender in the court, if the emperor knows, is Niangniang still afraid that her position as the imperial concubine can sit firmly!"

"Haha" Yao Xuetang was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Green Smoke, your move is very wonderful!" When the Eighth Prince gave you to me before, he said that your ability to imitate human handwriting is first-class, and now it seems that it really deserves its reputation! It's just Song Wan's side, have you arranged it? ”

"Niangniang rest assured" Luyan smiled confidently and affirmed: "I have already written a letter back imitating Master Pei, I believe that now the maids around the imperial concubine have received the news, they are so affectionate, they are not afraid that they will not take the bait, Niangniang has been waiting to see the changes recently, and then we will kill them by surprise, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

"Good!" Yao Xuetang stood up and took out a stack of silver tickets from the desk and handed it to Green Smoke, and praised it: "This is my reward for you, rest assured, as long as you continue to use it obediently for me, you will have your share of the benefits in the future!" ”

"Xie Niangniang's gift" Green Smoke bowed on her knees and said respectfully: "The slave and maid are set to be the head of the mother's horse, and there is no disagreement" After saying that, her eyes flashed, but she had other plans in her heart.....

On the other side, although Lu Yi, who was guarding outside the house, couldn't hear their conversation inside the house clearly, but when he saw that Lu Yan had just come back from outside the house, he was afraid that they would have some moths, and it would be too late to defend at that time! Thinking of this, she quietly left the place, turned around and headed in the direction of Yi Zhaiju......

Shuxiang Zhai, not long after Song Wan finished dinner, Yunhua hurriedly came from outside! "Imperial Princess, Imperial Princess"

"What's wrong?" Seeing the excited look on his face, Song Wan couldn't help but wonder, "But what happened?" ”

"Imperial Princess, Master Pei has news!"

"Is that true?"

"It's true, princess, you see" After saying that, Yunhua took out a letter from his hand and put it on the table, and explained in a low voice: "This is the letter that the slave maid just picked up in the courtyard, the slave maid has seen Lord Pei's handwriting, which is not much different from this, the imperial concubine, do you say that Lord Pei is afraid that we are worried, so he deliberately took this opportunity to report safety?" ”

Hearing this, Song Wan didn't speak, but unfolded the letter and looked at the few big characters scribbled on it and fell into deep thought.... Although the handwriting does seem to be Pei Ze's good, he has never taken the initiative to find her in the past, let alone throw the letter into the courtyard like this, even if they claim to be innocent, this move is not appropriate! Unless....

"Imperial Princess, but what's weird?" Yun Hua saw that she had been silent, so she also put away her happy emotions and secretly wondered uneasily.

"Yunhua, ask Meng Yu to come to Shuxiangzhai for a trip, I have something to tell him."

"Now?"

"Yes" Song Wan nodded affirmatively, her eyes sank, and she said in a low voice: "Right now".....

"Is that really the case?"

"Hmm" Lu Yi looked at Meng Yu with a skeptical face, and repeatedly confirmed: "Lu Yan's plan is vicious, she came back from the house this time and stayed in Liu Shuzhai for a long time, I am afraid that they will have a plan, and Concubine Yao's biggest enemy at this time is the imperial concubine, the lord is not there, we must not be careless." ”

"Hmm..." Meng Yu raised his eyebrows and thought about it, feeling that what Lu Yi said also made some sense, and just as he was about to respond, a voice came from outside: "Is Leader Meng here?" The Imperial Concubine is invited! ”

Imperial Princess? The two of them looked at each other suspiciously, fearing that their identities would be exposed, Lu Yi hid to the side with interest, and after Meng Yu opened the door and followed Yunhua to Shuxiangzhai, she turned around and went back to Liu Shuzhai in the direction of the other side....
