Chapter 23 This is just a coincidence! huh huh huh...
Haitang reluctantly opened the door curtain, and invited Su Qing in.
Su Qing smiled and nodded, caressing the hem of her skirt gracefully.
He thought that Miss Shen was just as she thought, just an empty and beautiful vase. After being provoked by her few words, he was thrown into chaos.
Such a person doesn't need her to bother at all. As long as the words are a little provocative, he can blacken himself, and thus kill him step by step.
However, when she entered the back room, she was dumbfounded when she saw Shen Mingjiao who was lazily half lying on the bed.
Shen Mingjiao's hair is slightly disheveled at the moment, her peach blossom eyes are full of anger and charm, and her bare shoulders are covered with ambiguous red marks. Paired with her messy red pajamas, it looks lively and fragrant.
Seeing Su Qing coming in, Shen Mingjiao sat up with difficulty while supporting her waist, her voice was as soft as honey:
"Oh! I'm so sorry, Miss Su came here. She should have gone out to greet her in person, but this concubine was tired last night, and she was so limp that she couldn't exert herself!"
"Haitang, what are you doing in a daze, you still haven't poured tea for Miss Su."
After speaking, he rubbed his waist painfully, and made a slight sigh from time to time,
Su Qing stared at the messy bed, unable to believe that Feng Lisheng actually touched another woman!
Forcibly suppressed emotions, sat down gracefully, took a sip of the tea cup that Haitang handed over, and said with a smile:
"Miss Shen, don't be joking. You may not know that His Highness's mother and concubine are from overseas. There, only two people who love each other can be together. Marriage without love is a shackle and is not blessed. And His Highness has been fascinated by it since childhood. Naturally, the requirements for the other half are very high, at least it must be a partner who can connect with him."
After speaking, he smiled and looked at her. It seems to be saying that you should stop pretending.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mingjiao asked in surprise after hearing this:
"Miss Su's idea is really strange. What do you like or not? It's a trick played by my concubine and aunt. As the wife of His Royal Highness, I will be in charge of the bell of the palace in the future, and deal with those vain things. What is the use!"
After finishing speaking, she yawned lazily: "Oh, let's not talk about it, Your Highness was too troublesome last night, and asked for four or five times of water...I kept tossing until five o'clock...It made my waist almost fall apart..."
"So this man is all the same, he says no, but his body is very honest..."
It seemed that he was too sleepy, and he fell asleep with his head tilted while talking.
Su Qing: "..." The expression management almost collapsed.
She gritted her teeth, rarely feeling in a dilemma, no matter how smart she was, she couldn't wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep. (here purely literal)
Looking at the messy bed again, he thought of the scene where Feng Lisheng might be hugging another woman here. She gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart.
Standed up and walked away quickly, not caring about any elegance, the door curtain slammed down.
Shen Mingjiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, sat up and took a sip of the hot tea on the small table beside her.
It’s really typical to eat from a bowl and look into a pot.
Just thinking about it, the hot tea in her hand hit her leg uncontrollably, causing her to gasp in pain.
Shen Mingjiao: "..." This is just a coincidence, right?
…
Instructed the personal maid to find out where Feng Lisheng was, and after a while, the maid came back, and the master and servant headed towards the study.
The study in the front yard. Feng Wuchao, who was sitting behind the jade case, Feng Lisheng reported:
"Your Highness expected well. His subordinates sent people to the Shadow Pavilion overnight. After verification, the group of assassins yesterday indeed came from the Shadow Pavilion."
Feng Lisheng stroked the Langhao pen in his hand: "What did the Shadow Pavilion say?"
"It is said that the master of the Shadow Pavilion is a master of martial arts, and his whereabouts are always erratic. The hall master took care of the trivial matters in the pavilion. The hall master said that his subordinates took orders privately. When we brought people over, that subordinate had already committed suicide in fear of crime. The assassin who escaped yesterday also Nowhere to be seen..."
Feng Lisheng lowered his eyes and pondered, "So, the clues are completely broken, right?"
Feng Wu took out a wooden box and a letter from his pocket, "The hall master of the Shadow Pavilion expressed his apology and gave his subordinates 20,000 taels of silver, and said that he would do his best to track down the escaped assassin."
Feng Lisheng took the envelope and opened it, reading it at a glance. In the letter, he expressed his fear of this matter, and he was careful in his words, pleading guilty throughout. It is very in line with the awe that a gang of rivers and lakes has for the royal family.
Feng Lisheng put down the letter paper and asked Feng Wu: "What do you think about this?"
"The subordinates feel that the real behind-the-scenes person should not be the Shadow Pavilion. Although the Shadow Pavilion has a good reputation in the Jianghu, but if it faces the imperial court, it will be nothing but a dead end."
Feng Lisheng asked: "Then what if someone is behind the Shadow Pavilion?"
"It's unlikely. According to the information found by my subordinates, the Shadow Pavilion has existed for more than a hundred years. Although the Jianghu and the government are regarded as harmonious in recent years, gangs like this that have been passed down for hundreds of years are somewhat proud. It's hard to be codified."
Feng Lisheng reminded him: "But you have overlooked one point. Every generation of Shadow Pavilion masters are shown by cloak masks, and their whereabouts are mysterious. There is a lot of controllability in this."
Feng Wu understood what His Highness meant, "Your Majesty, order someone to investigate the Lord of the Shadow Pavilion."
Feng Lisheng added: "You can find a breakthrough from King Yu's fiefdom in Jingzhou."
Feng Wu is somewhat different. Ever since His Highness returned from the border half a year ago, he has inexplicably paid attention to King Yu. Many people have been deployed to Jingzhou before and after.
Feng Lisheng flipped through the official documents in his hands with downcast eyes and stopped talking. Those who want his life are no more than those few people,
However, after such a long time, there is still no evidence that King Yu intends to rebel. Judging from the news from the people sent to Jingzhou, King Yu is timid and even cowardly.
If it wasn't for Jing and the **** palace change in the past twenty-five years, he still can't believe that such a person would rebel.
"Miss Su Qing, the lord is discussing matters in the study, and he has ordered idlers not to disturb you..."
A soft female voice answered with a smile: "Then ask this little brother to help pass the message, just say that I have the key to find him."
The two people in the study could hear clearly,
Feng Wu looked at his prince hesitantly.
"That...Your Highness, as the saying goes, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, and our princess is so good, Your Highness, please don't do anything to offend the princess..."
Feng Li Sheng: "Get lost!"
In order to avoid suspicion, Feng Lisheng ordered the guards to take Su Qing to a gazebo outside the courtyard.
Su Qing clenched his fists as he looked at the servants passing by from time to time. His Royal Highness Su Wang never pays attention to these vain etiquette, he is trying to avoid suspicion!
Not long after, Feng Lisheng, who was dressed in a dark red brocade robe, walked over, and Su Qing hid the surprise in his eyes.
At this moment, she has to admit that although the prince is good in everything, he is still far behind His Highness King Su.
