Chapter 181: Seeing is Believing
Zhiyi walked out of Xiaoice'er's room quickly, found Chu Shan'er stopped slightly around the corner, and quickly followed.
"Princess." Zhiyi called behind Chu Shan'er.
"Huh?" Chu Shan'er looked at Zhiyi with a little gasp, and said softly: "What's so anxious?" ”
"Princess, although Xiaoice said that Xiao Yan was very good just now, the slave felt that she was insincere, why didn't you ask two more words?" Zhiyi knew that her words were inappropriate, but she still couldn't help it.
She didn't want Xiaoice to be injured and not be well cared for, in that case, the guilt in her heart would be even worse.
"Since she refuses to tell the truth, does this princess need to ask again?" Chu Shan'er asked lightly.
"But ......" Zhiyi bit his lip lightly, and didn't say anything for a while.
Chu Shan'er was not in a hurry, just quietly waited for Zhiyi's next words.
"Princess Wang, you have always treated us very well, and even allowed Xiaoice the right to go in and out of the study to read books, and also gave her a room to live in, why, why didn't you help her this time?" Maybe she just came here and didn't want to offend people, so she didn't dare to tell the truth. Zhiyi explained softly for Xiaoice.
"Even you can hear what she is saying, do you think she really dare not say it?" Chu Shan'er said lightly: "Also, you told her about lard candy for your diarrhea?" ”
"No, the slave didn't want her to feel guilty, so she didn't say it." Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Xu is Qiu'er or who said that the slave maid ate greasy things!" ”
"Let's go, this princess will take you to a place." Chu Shan'er looked at Zhiyi, and some things would be more convincing to see with her own eyes than to hear them.
"Princess, where are we going?" Zhiyi asked a little puzzled.
"You'll know when you get there." Chu Shan'er walked forward, all the way out of the Jingshui Pavilion, and went to the front yard.
……
"Princess, why are you here?" Ah Ji looked at Chu Shan'er who suddenly appeared here with a shocked face.
"There's something wrong with this princess coming to find Ah Cai, is he here?" Chu Shan'er asked lightly.
"Here, he's messing around in the room alone, and no one is allowed to disturb him." Ah Cai said: "It's better to trouble the princess to wait a while, and the villain will call him." ”
"Go ahead!" Chu Shan'er sat down in the courtyard casually.
But after a while, Ah Cai came over.
"I haven't seen you overnight, how did you become unkempt." Chu Shan'er glanced at Ah Cai with some disgust, that face was originally ugly, but now it is even more ugly.
"The villain didn't sleep all night, and he disturbed the princess." Ah Cai smiled embarrassedly.
Chu Shan'er looked Ah Cai up and down, and said, "It's okay, this princess is coming here to ask for your help." ”
"The princess is serious, you have something to do, but please command."
"Look at this, what's up there?" Chu Shan'er took the piece of paper wrapped in lard candy from the space and came out.
Ah Cai took it, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly: "This is lard candy?" However, it was added by someone, it is croton powder, look at the residue, this powder is not light. ”
Listening to the three words of croton powder, the intellectuals on the side already understood the reason why Chu Shan'er brought her over, and even more knew why Chu Shan'er asked her if she mentioned that matter to Xiaoice.
It turned out that it was not said by others, nor did Xiaoice guess, but she knew it at all!
"I'm tired. Except for a few of us, this princess doesn't want to hear a word from other people's mouths. Chu Shan'er glanced at Ah Cai and Ah Ji, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Rest assured, Princess, we will never say a word to others." Ah Ji immediately said.
This is a brainless thing, he just wants to gossip and doesn't know where to start!
"Good." Chu Shan'er waved her hand and glanced at Ah Cai, "You can go back to the house and continue your business." ”
The corners of Ah Cai's mouth twitched, why did he feel like he was thrown away when he was used up?
"Villain ......"
"Zhiyi, do you understand now?" Chu Shan'er asked seriously to Zhiyi.
Ah Cai saw that he was really ignored, and turned away silently with his mouth shut.
Ah Ji looked at Ah Cai's lonely and lonely back, and frowned slightly, what is the situation?
"The slave and maid understand." Zhiyi bit his lip and said softly, "But ...... But why did she do it? ”
"Maybe I want to go to the study alone! Who knows? Chu Shan'er said softly: "It's good that you know about this matter, you don't have to ask the bottom of it." ”
"Princess......
"That's it! You don't have to feel guilty about anyone or anything. Chu Shan'er patted Zhiyi's shoulder and said, "Go back!" ”
"Yes, Princess." Zhiyi's face was ugly, and he didn't say a word all the way.
When passing by the Liuxiang Pavilion, which caught fire last night, Chu Shan'er stopped.
"Princess." When Su Quan saw Chu Shan'er, he hurriedly greeted him.
"How?"
"Back to the princess, two rooms were burned down, and there were some broken furniture, which were not valuable." Su Quandao: "The villain has already made people smash all the ruins and walls and rebuild two rooms." ”
"Well, you arrange these, and the other houses in this yard, they should be repaired together." Chu Shan'er said lightly.
"Yes, Princess." Su Quan nodded in response, glanced at Chu Shan'er's knowledge, and said, "Can the princess take a step to speak?" ”
Chu Shan'er looked at the solemnity on Su Quan's face, waved his hand, and consciously retreated a few meters away.
"What's the matter with Steward Su?"
"Princess, when the villain asked people to start the work this morning, he found such a thing from one of the unburned walls." Su Quan carefully avoided the eyes of others and took out something from his sleeve pocket.
Chu Shan'er took it and opened the handkerchief outside, and it turned out to be a piece of gold inside, and it was quite heavy.
"There are some other things, and the villain has put them away properly." Su Quandao: "It will inevitably cause unnecessary turmoil, so for the time being, only the villain and a hands-on guy know." ”
"You're doing a great job." Chu Shan'er said: "You keep these things first, and go back to see if there are any other walls in the body." Chu Shan'er commanded lightly.
The expression that was calm to the extreme made Su Quan feel that Chu Shan'er had already known that there was something in this wall.
"Princess, these things are too valuable, the villain thinks it's better to hand them over to you and the prince." Su Quan frowned, and did not take Chu Shan'er to get the gold in front of him again.
"It doesn't matter, this princess believes in Steward Su's ability and character." Chu Shan'er said: "Since the prince acquiesced to the princess to manage the palace, then he naturally has no opinion. ”
"Since the princess said so, the villain must live up to the princess's trust!" Su Quan took the things and said a few more words to Chu Shan'er before leaving.
As soon as he turned around, Su Quan felt a sense of relief.
Judging from the fire in Liuxiang Pavilion last night and Wen Yudie's abnormal reaction, he felt that there was something wrong with this fire and this courtyard.
Looking at Chu Shan'er's calm expression just now, it seems that his guess is not far from ten.
Fortunately, he did not choose to swallow these ill-gotten gains, otherwise what would have been waiting for him would have been a terrifying existence.
"Princess, you're here! Let the slave and maid be easy to find. Liangyuan hurriedly walked over and bowed to Chu Shan'er.
"Why are you in such a hurry to find this princess?" Chu Shan'er raised her lips and smiled, and asked softly.
