"Have you ever been in charge, do you have any clues?" There was suppressed anger on the eldest princess's eyebrows.
She had never thought about it carefully before, but after Liao Haohai's analysis, she was shocked to realize that the gangster was probably coming for Liao Haohai. Liao Haohai is the only son of the Liao family. If anything goes wrong...
Manager Zeng wiped his sweat and said: "Prince Princess, the guards did not catch up with the bad guy..."
The eldest princess sighed. The guards in her mansion are just ordinary people who know a little bit about fists and kicks. They have never seen such a scene today, so it is reasonable that they cannot catch up.
"Hao Hai, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate." She said to Liao Hao Hai, "If this matter hadn't happened today, I would have been spared. The entire princess's mansion would have been like a sieve leaking air everywhere. Today he can If you assassinate others, I will assassinate Lao Shen and Huizhen tomorrow."
Although she is not afraid of death, Huizhen is still young.
"I obey my orders!" Liao Haohai actually meant this.
"Princess, Chief Xu is here." Chief Xu is the eunuch serving the Holy Sage.
However, Manager Xu came to pass on the sage's instructions: "I heard that a gangster assassinated Mu Shizi in my sister's house. I was very worried. I specially ordered Han Liang'an, the young minister of Dali Temple, to investigate the matter and bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
This incident only happened for more than an hour, so the Holy One didn't have to worry about it. He also sent a verbal message. The eldest princess's heart was filled with ups and downs, but it didn't show on her face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
After seeing off Manager Xu, Manager Zhang, who was in charge of the kitchen, came to report: "Princess, the banquet is ready."
The eldest princess smiled bitterly and looked at Liao Haohai: "Haohai, please accompany Mu Shizi for me."
At this time, her face showed a little fatigue. Although she takes good care of herself, she is still in her sixties after all.
Mu Ting suddenly sympathized with her. Not only was the eldest princess' mansion leaking like a sieve, but it was also under the emperor's surveillance at all times. No wonder the eldest princess was in a bad mood.
The clothes were inspected dozens of times, and every inch was carefully touched by Qin Xiangxiang. Mu Ting had not come back yet. Seeing that the agreed time has passed, Qin Xiangxiang asked Yao Erlang to enter the bathtub, while she stood guard at the door. If anyone came, she would notify Yao Erlang in advance.
The people from the eldest princess's mansion came quickly, and they came back with the attendants who had led them twice before.
The attendant smiled and said: "Prince Mu, have you taken a bath? The banquet has been prepared. The eldest princess has specially sent a servant to come and invite you."
Qin Xiangxiang smiled and said: "Is the banquet ready? I will tell the prince right away. I have to trouble you to wait for a while."
The attendant said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble you, little lady."
Yao Erlang came out. It was a little hot in the bath. When Yao Erlang came out, he wiped the sweat on both sides of his face. As he was wiping it, he suddenly saw a look of shock in the attendant's eyes.
Yao Erlang was a little confused and glanced at Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang said seriously: "Your Majesty, have you finished taking a bath?"
Yao Erlang said: "The prince likes the bathhouse in your mansion very much, and it is a pleasant time to take a dip. But since the banquet has been prepared, I will go in and inform the prince."
Yao Erlang went in again.
Qin Xiangxiang still smiled and looked at the attendant.
The attendant was very polite: "If the prince likes it, you can come here to bathe often."
The eldest princess has been widowed for a long time, and her only son died fifteen years ago. There are no men in the eldest princess's house. Mu Ting, an unmarried man, has the permission of the eldest princess to enter and leave the eldest princess' house at any time. Qin Xiangxiang suddenly understood what the eldest princess had planned.
It seems that the eldest princess has already regarded Mu Ting as her future grandson-in-law.
But Mu Ting couldn't use the excuse that he couldn't afford it a second time. If he used it again, it would make Mu Ting look arrogant. Qin Xiangxiang was thinking about what excuse to use when he suddenly saw Mu Ting walking out wearing the clothes prepared by the eldest princess' mansion.
It was still a black cloak, but it looked more luxurious than the one Mu Ting wore before.
The cloud pattern embroidered with gold silk shimmered faintly on the edge of the sleeves, and Qin Xiangxiang swallowed involuntarily. Rich people are different. She had touched it with her hands just now. The value of this cloak could be enough for an ordinary family of ten to use it for two years. And the short boots on his feet are also made of gold thread embroidered with cloud patterns. It's like he's walking on gold! Qin Xiangxiang swallowed again.
Mu Ting, who was wearing an expensive cloak, had beads of sweat on his forehead and was breathing slightly, as if he had just come out of the bath.
As soon as Mu Ting came out, the attendant lowered his head: "Prince Mu, please."
If Mu Ting saw it correctly, the attendant seemed to be afraid to look at him. Perhaps it was because of his fierce face that the attendants did not dare to look at him? Mu Ting didn't think about it. Once when Gein was in Yanzhou, he just came back from beating someone up, and a child was so frightened by his appearance that he cried.
The banquet was actually held in the back garden.
Separated from the back garden by a wall, there is a majestic attic.
Qin Xiangxiang subconsciously glanced at the attic. Above the attic, the doors and windows below the second floor were closed, but there was a small window on the third floor.
In the open window, a curtain was swaying lightly.
Qin Xiangxiang sniffed and smelled a very soft and comfortable fragrance. The smell seemed to be coming from the attic. She bet that Princess Huizhen, the eldest princess's precious granddaughter, lived in that attic.
As for why the banquet was held in the back garden, the purpose was clear. The eldest princess wanted Princess Huizhen to look at Mu Ting closely and carefully.
Liao Haohai is also there.
Mu Ting had no intention of asking whether Cui Qingqing was alive or dead, so Qin Xiangxiang had to cough.
Mu Ting glanced at her in surprise: "Are you cold?"
Qin Xiangxiang laughed awkwardly: "No."
Mu Ting was still like a piece of wood. Qin Xiangxiang had to ask Liao Haohai: "I wonder how Mrs. Cui is doing?"
"She is fine now. The eldest princess has ordered someone to send her back to the Cui family." Liao Haohai replied.
The eldest princess glanced at Qin Xiangxiang, who was standing behind Mu Ting, and narrowed her eyes: "This little lady is..."
She looked at Mu Ting, but he had no intention of speaking. Qin Xiangxiang had no choice but to answer by himself: "Princess, I am the maid Qin of Prince Mu."
The eldest princess said very amiably: "Ms. Qin is a woman. It must be very difficult to serve Prince Mu, right?"
Qin Xiangxiang thought to himself, the eldest princess's question made the situation too small.
She smiled and said: "My eldest princess, Prince Mu has a broad mind and I am living a good life."
Mrs. Qin really dares to say that. Liao Haohai coughed: "Isn't Prince Mu going to the palace banquet tonight?"
The eldest princess then said: "I am too forgetful. Please just use some, Prince Mu."
Although the eldest princess is narrow-minded towards Qin Xiangxiang, she is really kind to Mu Ting. This banquet was obviously well prepared. Although there were not hundreds of dishes, there were dozens of them. And they all look delicious and delicious.
While the masters were dining, the attendants could only watch but not move.
Qin Xiangxiang was a little hungry, but he could bear it. She watched Mu Ting pick up a piece of sheep tripe. Well, the sheep tripe was very good. It would definitely taste good...
Just as he was thinking about it, a very soft female laughter came from somewhere.
Qin Xiangxiang immediately concentrated his attention and concentrated on capturing the source of the laughter. She had some guesses in her mind. This laughter was probably the laughter of Princess Huizhen.
But why was she laughing? Is it laughing at Mu Ting's eating appearance, or is it laughing at the conversation between the princess and her?
Qin Xiangxiang felt itchy and couldn't help but glance at the attic.
