Zhu Siying received the letter, glanced at it hastily, and burned the letter until it was reduced to ashes before she could rest assured.
It was already late when Suiyu secretly delivered the letter to Prince Yan's house. He was a foreigner and it was inconvenient for him to stay in Zhu Siying's boudoir for a long time.
Zhu Siying was very worried. According to Zhu Sijia's letter, maybe tomorrow, the eldest princess would find Zhou Caiwei.
If Zhou Caiwei doesn't pack up her things and run away, her life will most likely be in danger.
But now Zhu Siying can't leave the house.
She was so anxious that she suddenly thought of a way. She ran to the desk and wrote the word "escape" in a pen the size of a sesame seed. She tore off the word "run" and crumpled it into a ball. She stuffed it into a rouge box and handed it to Suiyu:
"You disguise yourself, go to the second house on Yongping Lane in the south of Shili Street, and ask their little girl to send this thing to the seventh house on Anle Lane."
Sui Yuxin said that he knew that Zhou Caiwei's matter was the work of the two sisters, but he still asked calmly: "Why does such a trivial matter have to be so complicated? I can send it directly to the seventh family in Anle Lane."
Zhu Siying shook her head: "Your Majesty told me in her letter that neither you nor I can draw fire to this matter, let alone expose it directly to others, otherwise it will cause more trouble. That's why I thought of this."
After all, even she herself had not met Zhou Caiwei for a long time. In this situation, Shili Street must have been targeted by several forces such as Yan Xiu and the eldest princess. If she showed up at this time, wouldn't she be throwing herself into a trap?
She couldn't take this risk, and for the same reason, Zhu Sijia told her in the letter that she couldn't let Suiyu take this risk.
Sui Yu was speechless, her eyes flashing slightly. He put away the rouge box, and his earlobes turned red under the warm light: "I understand."
Even if he didn't open the thing in his hand, he knew what Zhu Siying had written on it. The sooner it could be handed over to Zhou Caiwei, the better.
It was already curfew when we left Prince Yan's Mansion, so this box of rouge could only be delivered to Shili Street early tomorrow morning at the earliest.
Coupled with the effort it took to disguise herself, Suiyu did not rush to the palace, but went straight to her secret courtyard in Xijing City.
Early the next morning.
Before dawn, Suiyu disguised himself as a rickety old man and took Yanzhi to find the house Zhu Siying mentioned.
Fortunately, he was very lucky. The little girl of that family had already gotten up early to collect water from the well and was preparing to make a fire and cook for the family.
Suiyu handed the things to her and took it upon himself to give her an extra five taels of silver as a reward for running errands. The little girl was very smart and patted her chest and promised him that she would deliver the things to Zhou Caiwei.
Yongping Lane is a certain distance from Anle Lane, and it takes about half a stick of incense. Suiyu is not in a hurry, so he casually finds a breakfast stall on the street and sits down to wait.
Unexpectedly, after a stick of incense, the sky turned pale and there was no need for lighting. All the lights in the house were extinguished. The little girl came back panting. She explained to Suiyu: "Grandpa, the things have been brought, but something happened to Miss Zhou."
Suiyu almost suppressed her voice: "What's the accident?"
Little girl: "She had fetal force. She couldn't even get out of bed. Her body was red. It was so early in the morning that the doctor came to the house."
She had given things to Zhou Caiwei several times before. Although the two were just acquaintances, Zhou Caiwei always gave her some gadgets. She naturally knew that the identity of this mysterious sister was not simple.
This time I heard that she had fetal motility, so I stayed at Zhou Caiwei's place for a while longer, so I arrived late.
It would be fine once the things were delivered, but Zhou Caiwei was actually injured like this. Even if Zhu Sijia found a way to notify her in advance, would she be able to escape in time?
Suiyu: "How is Miss Zhou's current condition? Is her life in danger?"
Little girl: "It's nothing serious. The baby is also saved, but she can't move for a while."
Suiyu: "I understand, thank you little friend."
…
Noon, Changle Palace.
I wish Sijia and Yan Xiu to have lunch in the palace.
Suiyu hid behind a dead tree outside the palace, struggling whether to tell Zhu Sijia about Zhou Caiwei's situation.
Perhaps Zhu Sijia thought he knew nothing about this matter, and even lied to him, saying that this was the simplest letter delivery task.
But he had already broken through her secret from the beginning. If he revealed Zhou Caiwei's situation to her now, there would be a lot of things he couldn't explain to her. It was so far back that he had to start from the Baiweizhai period.
After much thought, Suiyu decided to keep it a secret.
If Zhou Caiwei's whereabouts are accidentally discovered by the eldest princess, there is no guarantee that she will not confess Zhu Siying, and Zhu Sijia will also be implicated.
According to the temperament of the eldest princess, Zhu Sijia will definitely fall into trouble because of this matter.
Sometimes she acts too soft-heartedly, to the point of being a little naive and stupid. She wants to drive a wedge between the princess and the consort, but is reluctant to send Zhou Caiwei's chess piece to die. Wanting everything and wanting to keep everything, on the contrary, put yourself in a dangerous situation.
It would be better to deal with Zhou Caiwei directly before the incident happened, once and for all.
Suiyu just wanted to leave, but was caught by Yan Xiu.
The emperor clearly had a touching smile on his face, but that smile was because Zhu Sijia was beside him, and her eyes on him were still very cold and sharp.
Yan Xiu held Zhu Sijia in one hand and put the other behind his back, and asked him in a cold voice: "Broken Yu, why are you sneaking around in Changle Palace?"
Broken Yu stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to your Majesty."
Yan Xiu: "What's the matter? You might as well tell me."
Suiyu's face showed confusion, and she looked at Zhu Sijia: "It's about...about the empress's property outside the palace."
Zhu Sijia: "That's okay, you can go into the palace and talk about it in detail."
Yan Xiu pinched Zhu Sijia's chin and raised her thin lips: "Just in time, I also want to hear how your business has been doing this year."
Sui Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, followed the two of them into the palace, and without changing her expression, reported the income of several major shops over the past year to Zhu Sijia.
Fortunately, he often went to Baiweizhai and probably got some useful words from shopkeeper Bai. Zhu Sijia and Zhu Ya had been doing business in Xijing for one year. After excluding the principal and various expenses, Zhu Sijia got as much as 8,000 taels.
Yan Xiu's eyes showed appreciation: "I don't know Cicada's talent in business, but the way you look at people and use them is as good as mine."
Zhu Scarlett held her chin and winked at Yan Xiu: "Your Majesty taught me well."
Zhu Ya reported these things to her yesterday, and Suiyu obviously lied to Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu coldly snorted at Sui Yu: "Is such a trivial matter worthy of your covering up? Cicada, I will go back to Tai Chi Palace first, and you can go there later."
"As for Broken Jade, go to Tai Chi Palace during the Youshi period to discuss with me."
This broken jade lived a leisurely life in Changle Palace all day long. He completely lost his former courage as a dragon guard, and he didn't know if he had slacked off in his martial arts.
Congratulations to Scarlett: "Congratulations to Your Majesty."
After Yan Xiu walked away, Zhu Sijia put away her relaxed smile and looked solemn: "Ziyu, tell me, how did things go?"
Suiyu: "Don't worry, Madam, no one has discovered the whereabouts of Third Miss and her subordinates."
Zhu Sijia: "That's good. You just lied to deceive His Majesty just to report this matter to this palace, and nothing else?"
Broken Yu: "There is nothing else, and my subordinates dare not hide it."
Zhu Scarlett: "I trust you, go down."
Sui Yu silently retreated. It seemed that there was no chance to kill Zhou Caiwei tonight.
