After saying that, Du Tingyun sighed again, "That's all, just a little palace maid, just kill it. Do you think Shengsheng can keep the remaining two?"
Liu Shengsheng was silent and said: "Those palace maids have been serving Third Brother for a while. If word spreads about beheading someone directly, I'm afraid it won't sound good. It's better to replace her first. No one will pay attention to this matter later." , it’s not too late to deal with it.”
Du Tingyun said with some trepidation: "But if only one of them is replaced, that one will probably target the other two. After all, according to what you just said, that one is quite arrogant and domineering..."
After a pause, he added: "Why don't we change them at the same time? It saves worry, time and effort, and can also directly save a lot of trouble. There are just a few palace maids anyway, so there is no need to care too much about what they think."
Liu Shengsheng nodded.
It's true, they are just a few palace maids, there is no need to waste too much energy on them.
So Liu Shengsheng left it to Du Tingyun to handle it.
The capital is so big that there are many rivers. After discussing it for a while, they finally decided to search all the rivers in the capital from near to far. If there was really no river, they would go out of the city to search.
But there are too many rivers in the capital. If they were to go through them one by one, they would probably not be able to finish them in three to five days, so they divided them into three routes.
Yichen and Lei Yutian each sent a group of people to search in the city. Du Tingyun led a group of people to the end of the city, while Liu Shengsheng and Nan Muze led a few secret guards to search in another direction.
After the few people separated, Liu Shengsheng and others, led by several secret guards, soon arrived at a river.
"I'm afraid it won't get dark for a while. We can rest nearby and start looking again in the evening."
Nan Muze held Liu Shengsheng's hand and said softly.
Liu Shengsheng just said in a calm tone: "They may need to wait until dark to recognize it. I don't need my words. They can recognize the fire grass even in the daytime."
Nan Muze smiled slightly, "You are so smart."
"That doesn't sound like you're complimenting me."
Liu Shengsheng was already walking along the river as he spoke.
Several secret guards had quietly left and were searching carefully along the river. Liu Shengsheng's eyes were constantly looking around. As he walked forward, he would lower his head to look at the weeds by the river from time to time.
Nan Muze said earnestly: "I thought it would be some dangerous place, but I didn't expect it would be so simple to come to the river to look for it."
"This is not easy. There are so many rivers and weeds. It is actually very difficult to find a fireweed among thousands of weeds."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw many figures appearing in front of him, and Liu Shengsheng's face instantly became serious.
"Why do so many people come to such a remote river?"
Nan Muze's ears twitched and he whispered: "Those are also here to look for Fire Ding grass, but they all seem to be just ordinary people."
Hearing this, Liu Shengsheng nodded slightly, "I guess you saw the reward and wanted to try your luck, right?"
I don't know how big the reward the prince has announced. Not long after, people came in droves to look for him.
She walked along the river and soon met the person on the opposite side.
As they got closer, Liu Shengsheng could hear the voices of the people.
"You have to look carefully. The grass grows just like ordinary weeds. The only difference is that the grass changes color. Whenever you see grass that changes color, you have to pick it. When the time comes, it will As soon as we exchange it for reward money, as long as there is one fire grass, the one hundred taels of gold will be ours!"
"A doctor said that that kind of grass only grows in humid places. It seems that only the riverside is the wettest. If there is no riverside, let's go to a farther place and see if there is one near the lake..."
"Get your lanterns ready. You must search carefully at night. Whoever finds them first will get the reward!"
"..."
one
As he said that, the group of common people had already passed by Liu Shengsheng.
Nan Muze said in a calm tone: "It seems that many people are still interested in the reward. Maybe the fire grass can be found without us."
"It would be best if that were the case, but since we have nothing to do anyway, let's just go for a walk. It would be best if we could find nature."
After Liu Shengsheng finished speaking, she suddenly saw a small grass by the river that looked like fire grass, and immediately squatted down to pick it.
As a result, as soon as she stretched out her hand, a person suddenly rushed up to her, pushed her aside, and then quickly picked the grass with quick eyes and hands.
"Father! Does this look like fireweed to you?"
Liu Shengsheng was pushed so hard that she almost sat on the ground, but Nan Muze quickly helped her up with quick eyes and hands.
Nan Muze's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to take action on the spot, but Liu Shengsheng quickly caught him with quick eyes and hands, then shook her head at him and whispered: "It doesn't matter, I was wrong, that's not the case."
After hearing this, although Nan Muze was still unhappy, he calmed down a little.
The person who snatched the grass was a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old. The woman had a fat head and big ears, and was dressed very simply. While shaking the grass in her hand, she shouted loudly to the group of people in front of her: "I I found everyone! This is the kind of grass in the portrait, this must be it!" Kanshu La
The group of people who had not gone far turned around, and one of them, a middle-aged man, walked over quickly.
"It really looks similar. Could this be the fire grass?"
The people nearby cast envious glances.
The woman said proudly: "It must be, I think it is exactly the same as the portrait with the reward."
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, she is indeed my good daughter. Once we get the reward in exchange, we will immediately move to a big house to live in, and the rest will be left as a dowry for you!"
The woman smiled from ear to ear, followed the middle-aged man and walked back in discussion.
At this moment, another woman's voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"You two are too shameless to snatch away the things that others find in front of them, aren't you?"
There were about ten people in the group. The woman who spoke was holding a lantern. She was thin but had a strong aura. She pointed at Liu Shengsheng and said, "I saw it clearly just now. The thing in your hand is this." A girl found it first!"
Liu Shengsheng, who originally didn't want to argue too much with these people, had already planned to retreat quietly. She didn't want the woman to come out and make them the focus of the crowd.
In just a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on them...
