Crossing the threshold again, the windows and doors inside were opened for ventilation, and those who were no longer choking indoors could not open their eyes.
But sure enough, there was not even a decent decoration on the old and dull furniture.
Xiao Yan walked around the room, not forgetting to take a closer look at the places he found suspicious before.
But the whole room was empty, and there was really nothing worth paying special attention to.
The only suspicious thing was a life-sized landscape painting. And the wall seemed to have been thinned deliberately, and it was completely in the shape of a niche, recessed from top to bottom.
Where is there room to hide things in a place like this?
"Really, why did I believe Lao Qi's ignorant thing? Wait, I will see him next time."
After another extremely disappointing glance, Xiao Yan completely lost interest, turned around and strode out of the private room.
But before leading the people away, he did not forget to leave two confidants to guard him.
————
On the other hand, Princess Danyang hired a car on the street after perfunctorily dealing with the seventh prince and sending him and Prince Anyang away.
After the master and servant drove around in the car, they got off at North Street, which is near the East Market and directly opposite the side entrance of Lixiangyuan.
"Be careful."
Zizhu jumped off the carriage first, and after the coachman put down the footstool and stabilized the horse, she helped Danyang get out of the carriage.
"Thank you."
Danyang said, handing over a piece of broken silver and muttering to himself, the young lady from a rich family was the evil coachman.
Zizhu's face turned pale with nervousness at this time. After secretly checking that there was no suspicious person, he helped his princess and walked towards the teahouse across the street.
Before the master and servant could reach the door, Hong Ze was already rushing to greet them from inside. He waved away the waiter who was about to greet the guests and took the two of them upstairs.
Because this small shop is located on the back of the street, its business depends entirely on the people around it who come in and out of Lixiangyuan, or leisure enthusiasts. But now that Lixiang Garden has been suddenly closed down, and there is no name for it, naturally no one dares to come to the teahouse so close to Lixiang Garden.
Therefore, the crowded tea room at this moment has become an excellent place for secret conversations.
There are three floors in the tea house. When you reach the second floor, there is no sound around, except for the footsteps of Danyang and his party.
At this moment, Danyang's curious inquiry came from behind Hongze.
"With all due respect, are those people your subordinates?"
The question had no beginning or end, but Hong Ze visibly stiffened and his steps faltered.
But he soon started walking again and replied in a low voice:
"Yes, you guessed it right."
Danyang smiled and said, "General, don't worry. I didn't guess anything. It's not my turn to point fingers in this matter."
Zizhu was dazed when he heard this, and he only guessed that what the two people originally said was that the first batch of soldiers who came to search the elegant room with the shopkeeper of Lixiangyuan should be General Hongze's men.
But what about behind?
Are they playing a riddle?
Due to her multitasking, Zizhu almost tripped over herself when going up the steps.
Fortunately, Danyang, who she was supporting, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed her arm with his backhand, preventing Zizhu from rolling down the stairs.
After a near-miss moment, Zizhu raised his head and met the helpless smile of Princess Danyang.
Immediately afterwards, his forehead was lightly poked by his princess' finger.
"Watch the road carefully."
The moment Zizhu raised her head, she happened to see Hong Ze, who was leading the way for their master and servant on the steps two floors away. General Hong was looking at his princess with a complicated expression.
When the group of people started going upstairs again, although the conversation did not continue, Hong Ze seemed to have opened up the conversation and couldn't help but say to Princess Danyang:
"Princess, please don't blame me for playing the role of Reckless. But there is one thing that I am really curious about."
Although Danyang was behind Hongze and couldn't see the other person's expression at all, he could still imagine the depressed expression of the person opposite him just by listening to the muffled low voice.
However, although she had roughly guessed what Hong Ze wanted to ask, Danyang still responded politely:
"General Hong, you're welcome. I was rude before. If you want to ask anything, please tell me."
After another moment of silence, Danyang's master and servant heard the muffled voices coming from the front.
"Excuse me, what you said in front of the third prince, Prince Anyang's situation and various arrangements, were your Majesty really talking to you? Or did you see it yourself from certain signs?"
Danyang understood in an instant what Hong Ze really wanted to ask.
only--
"If General Hong wants to ask if I can help you spy on the Sacred Heart, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you."
When Hong Ze heard this, he cried and laughed instantly.
He just guessed that this would be the answer.
But before he could finish his wry smile, Princess Danyang spoke again:
"But. As a princess who grew up with His Majesty, although I cannot see through the emperor's uncle's thoughts, I can still feel that he is not dissatisfied with you, General Hong."
Just these words made Hong Ze, a seven-foot strong man, tremble and freeze on the spot.
Danyang had already prepared, so his steps stopped almost at the same time. But Zizhu lost her mind again because of the two people's continuous "riddles".
She didn't have time to stop, and because the distance was too close, Danyang didn't even have time to pull him, so she ran straight into Hong Ze's iron-like broad back.
With a dull pain in his forehead and a sore nose, Zizhu immediately squatted on the ground. Although the pain was not so painful that he wanted to cry, his eyes still turned red immediately.
"Princess Princess..."
Danyang pulled the person up and stuffed a Supa over him. At the same time, he smiled helplessly, while rubbing Zizhu's forehead, he said to Hong Ze:
"In my opinion, General Hong doesn't have to worry about dragging down your men. Just do what you think you should do."
After saying this, she pulled Zizhu up, walked around Hong Ze who was stunned, and continued going upstairs to take care of herself.
After arriving on the third floor, you almost don't have to look for it. You can see the shadow guard guarding Emperor Xuande standing in front of a partition at a glance.
Danyang left Zizhu at the entrance of the stairs, and she went up to greet her and said with a smile:
"Uncle, I'm back."
Because she had volunteered to stop the third prince Xiao Yan, it was not clear when Emperor Xuande left another private room.
But Danyang was very confident in what she said freely. At this moment, the shadow guards or other guards secretly sent by Emperor Xuande to protect her had relayed it to her uncle, the emperor.
At the same time, she was also very confident that at this moment, the wise Emperor Zhou, who had seen the farce in the Lixiang Garden, would never believe that the title of the mastermind behind the scenes should still be pinned on the head of Prince Anyang.
However, Danyang was still a little unsure whether her uncle, the emperor, would be angry at her because of his bad mood.
Therefore, she prepared to use the best trick in her memory to deal with the emperor's uncle, pretending to be dumbfounded.
But Emperor Xuande's anger seemed to be higher than Danyang expected.
"Did you have fun?"
