She had already suspected that the incident at the wedding ceremony was related to the palace.
This matter was aimed at Concubine Mother and Concubine Tao Xian. Apart from the royal family, who else would benefit?
The first person she thought of was her father.
After all, the last military power handed over by the Tao family in the previous life was in the hands of the father.
However, at this time, the father truly loved his mother and concubine, could he be cruel enough to deal with her like this?
In any case, these are just her speculations, with no support at all.
But now, someone has sent this news...
"Your Highness, is this news credible?" Qin Zhou asked, his expression really ugly.
He wanted to reveal his beautiful tail feathers, but ended up showing his buttocks. He didn't know how to describe this feeling.
Besides, there is no way to make up for it. The little beggar just took money from others and passed on this note.
Without knowing who sent the message, it is impossible to determine whether it is true or false.
He ruined His Highness's plan!
Even if he had the nerve to hold that money, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Zheng Ji said calmly, as if it was an ordinary matter: "It doesn't matter, it's very simple to know whether the news is true or false."
To know who the young man in Jinyi was and where he ended up, you only need to ask one person.
Qi Hongzhen, no one knows better than him!
This note gave her an idea, so she might as well use it!
She waved to Qin Zhou and said, "Is it okay to get a symbolic object from Qi Hongzhen? And find a little beggar to pass the message on, can you do it?"
Of course it can be done, Qi Hongzhen is just a civil servant, and there are only two nursing homes!
Qin Zhou immediately understood what Zheng Ji meant, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, don't worry! I will never..."
His movements suddenly stopped, and he could no longer speak confidently.
He can do all this, but there might be someone watching him from behind.
Doesn’t that mean everything His Highness has done has been exposed?
Zheng Ji shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."
Although she didn't know who sent the note, it was obviously a kind reminder.
In other words, the person behind the surveillance has no ill intentions toward her.
Besides, since she knew someone was spying on Qin Zhou, would she still do nothing?
If she was the one giving the reminder, she would definitely stop in order not to expose herself.
Moreover, she plans to follow Qin Zhou this time. She may not be able to match Qin Zhou in martial arts, but when it comes to lightness and agility, Qin Zhou is far inferior to her.
She wished that someone would follow Qin Zhou!
"...Okay, Your Highness, I know what to do."
Two days later, the candidate for the ceremony supervisor was determined, and it was Qi Hongzhen, the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple.
Everyone who sees Qi Hongzhen will say congratulations: "Master Qi, congratulations!"
Who would have known that only Taichang Temple officials who trust and satisfy the emperor can become ceremonial officers, which means Qi Hongzhen is not far away from being promoted.
This is a happy event, so of course I have to congratulate you.
However, Qi Hongzhen couldn't laugh. Her heart was in a state of turmoil, and she only dared to keep a sullen face when she returned home.
He knew very well how he got his position as a celebrant. It didn't just fall out of thin air, it had to be paid for.
More importantly, he discovered that a private seal he used was missing!
At first, he didn't think it was anything, because sometimes he would take off his private seal when taking a bath, and sometimes the housekeeper would put it on the desk and put it away.
Until, a little beggar handed him a note.
It clearly says: "If you want to find a private seal, hurry to Fengyi Lane."
When she saw this sentence, Qi Hongzhen was really confused.
It's just a private seal. It's fine if it disappears. You can engrave a new one. Why did someone send him such a mysterious message?
He knew that Fengyi Lane was not a place where officials lived, but ordinary people.
Could the person who picked up his private seal want money?
He didn't know if it was because he felt guilty or something else, but he always felt that things would not be that simple.
He was afraid that something might happen to his private seal, but he also didn't dare to tell that person his worries.
In case of self-defeating...
Qi Hongzhen simply couldn't bear that kind of consequence.
After much hesitation, he finally decided to go to Fengyi Lane to have a look.
However, he also left a backup plan, which was to bring several nursing homes there, and also told his wife that if he couldn't come back at night, he would sue the authorities.
He didn't even dare to tell his wife anything related to that person.
He thought about many possibilities and made a lot of preparations, but he never expected that they would all be redundant!
Those tall and mighty guards fell down with a "bang bang bang" just after entering Fengyi Lane.
Without warning, so quickly!
The next moment, someone covered his mouth and dragged him into a house in the alley.
From beginning to end, he could not make a sound and could only struggle desperately.
"Okay, let him go."
The sweet voice reached his ears, but it was like a strong wind blowing over a cliff, and there was a chill in the tone that made people tremble.
When he saw the speaker clearly, his eyes widened and he could no longer scream.
The person sitting at the top has an extremely gorgeous face, with slightly opened phoenix eyes. He is wearing a dark-patterned phoenix robe, with a golden hairpin dangling on his head, showing indescribable splendor and majesty.
He knelt down involuntarily and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Highness..."
Princess Changding, how could she be Princess Changding? Why is she here?
At this moment, he realized something, and there was a "cracking" sound in his head, and he almost couldn't take a breath.
Princess Changding appeared. Could it be that the incident was exposed?
It must be, it must be!
Zheng Ji looked at his pale face and couldn't help but frown.
How could such an official who easily loses his composure become the most important part of the wedding ceremony?
However, perhaps it is precisely because of this that he is placed in this position.
Such a person simply cannot stand the interrogation of Feng Chenwei. All he needs to do is ask harshly and everything will be done.
What the framer needs is exactly his confession.
Now, it was her turn to ask, and he would probably do it soon.
She winked at Qin Zhou, and then Qin Zhou stepped forward, picked him up with one hand, punched him in the abdomen, and asked fiercely: "Tell me! Is that Jinyi man you saw in Jiqing Lane the night before yesterday? who?"
"Uh..." Qi Hongzhen was bent down by the punch, and large beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He breathed heavily and tried to hide it: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I...I don't know what you are talking about."
Zheng Ji curled his lips and said calmly: "I heard that there is a kind of torture in the palace, called the 'skinning method'. The skin on the body falls off, but the person is still alive. Chief Qin, are you ready with the knives?"
"Go back to Your Highness, we are ready." Qin Zhou said as calmly as possible, with goosebumps all over his body.
Why didn't he realize that His Highness still had such a bad taste?
He can intimidate people without changing his expression. As expected of His Highness, I admire you, I admire you!
Qi Hongzhen's face turned pale as he knelt on the ground, and his scalp went numb when he thought of the skinning method.
He knelt until he couldn't hold it anymore and bit his lip until it bled: "Your Highness, I...I'll move, I'll move..."
Zheng Ji was sure that Qi Hongzhen would confess, but the person he confessed to was something she never expected!
