When Shen Cha returned to the Duke's Mansion with his guards, Shen Haolin and Jin Miaomiao, who had just returned from the palace, were sitting in the study room talking about the Queen Mother's situation.
Seeing Shen Cha entering the door, Jin Miaomiao quickly stood up and handed over the heater in her hand.
"Is there anything I can't leave to the people below to do in this dark night? Do I have to go there myself?" Jin Miaomiao handed her another bowl of hot ginger soup and watched her frown as she drank it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "If I catch a cold, I have to lie in bed for a few days, and then I won't be able to do anything I want to do."
"If I don't go there myself, I will never feel at ease." Shen Cha finished the ginger soup, handed the soup bowl to Jin Miaomiao, walked to sit down next to Shen Haolin, and recounted the situation at the scene. Once again, he finally said, "The commander-in-chief found the mark on the leg of the oil pan rack. At the same time, he also saw the same mark on the inside of the stall owner's wrist. It can be determined that this stall owner is related to the mysterious organization. It’s related. But whether this person is not being used by that organization or he has always been in contact, this requires further investigation.”
"This is really an unexpected surprise." Shen Haolin held Shen Cha's hand, "Have you sent someone to check his specific situation?"
"Well, let's see if we can start with the people around him to investigate and deal with something, and also see if we can use him as a breakthrough to tear open the outer skin of that mysterious organization."
"This is a very good idea, but don't have too much hope. Nine times out of ten, nothing will be found." Shen Haolin stretched out a hand and touched Shen Cha's forehead, "This stall The fact that the Lord lives on fried rice shows that he is not an important person."
"Brother and the commander-in-chief are really brothers, they all say the same thing."
"That's what Bai Meng said too?"
"No, he told me as soon as he came that this person is most likely a small fish or shrimp, but I told him that we don't have the right to despise others now because we haven't even touched the periphery of that organization. This I’ll forward the words to you again.”
"What Xiao Cha said makes sense." Jin Miaomiao also agreed with Shen Cha's point of view, "Now, even if there is a little clue, we must seize it."
Shen Cha nodded with a smile, feeling her hands slowly become warm. She gently broke away from Shen Haolin's hand, picked up a pen, and drew the mark she saw at the scene on a blank piece of paper.
"The mark on the oil pan shelf looks quite old. It doesn't look like it was newly painted. It looks like it must be five or six years old."
"Well..." Shen Haolin touched his chin, "Actually..."
"What?" Shen Chating put down the pen in his hand and looked at Shen Haolin curiously, "What did brother think of?"
"Actually, when I was in the palace, I had this feeling. I felt that this pattern was very familiar. Now this feeling is even more obvious. The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes. But I can't remember where I saw it at all. ." Shen Haolin picked up another pen, split the pattern on another piece of paper, and drew several components respectively. While drawing, he said, "Hey, you interrupted this time. The two of us chatting.”
"Huh?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin curiously, then at Jin Miaomiao, "What are you talking about?"
"We didn't have anything to talk about. Miaomiao walked in with you and was telling me about the situation of the Queen Mother!"
"Oh, yes!" Shen Cha turned his head to Jin Miaomiao, who was sitting across the table from them, "How is the Queen Mother? It shouldn't matter, right?"
"It really doesn't matter. There was too much charcoal fire in the bedroom last night, so the Queen Mother felt a little hot and kicked off the quilt when she slept until midnight. As a result..." Jin Miaomiao spread her hands and said, "I caught a cold."
"Your Majesty..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "What's going on with the maid next to her? Where are the people on duty at night? Why don't you know how to keep an eye on your Majesty? You saw that your Majesty's quilt was kicked, why don't you cover it again? ? Such negligence is really inappropriate and deserves punishment!"
"Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess also said the same thing. Yesterday, the other eldest maid next to the Queen Mother, Xicui, was on night duty. However, she has not been feeling very well in the past two days. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine and she became drowsy after taking it. As a result..." Jin Miaomiao shrugged and said helplessly, "She also regretted it very much and kept admitting her mistake. Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess felt that there was a reason for the incident and she did not mean it. In addition, the Queen Mother interceded for her. Just spare her this time.”
"It's not easy for the two eldest maids next to the empress. They do many things by themselves, and the younger ones below are useless. They dare not rest even if they are sick, so they can only carry on. "Chen Cha sighed softly, "It's really not easy."
"What you said is the same as what Her Highness the Princess said." Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows at the two of them, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother took the medicine and rested. If you have a good sleep tonight, you will be fine tomorrow. .”
"No big deal is a good thing." Shen Cha breathed a sigh of relief, "We are all busy these days, and we definitely don't have time to go into the palace. Even if we go into the palace, we will discuss Liao, Jin and other matters with His Majesty. I don’t have time to visit the Queen Mother. Miaomiao, if you are free, please visit us more often. We will feel at ease with you here."
"No problem, leave it to me. This is my responsibility." Jin Miaomiao smiled at Shen Cha, looked at her, and then at Shen Haolin who was drawing the picture seriously, with some hesitation in his expression, " Haolin, Xiaocha, I..."
"What's wrong?" Shen Cha put down the pen in his hand and looked at Jin Miaomiao seriously, "Is there something wrong with you? Are you encountering a problem? Or is someone bullying you? Tell me and I will vent your anger. !”
"Hey, hey, don't just fight and kill at every turn." Jin Miaomiao was amused by Shen Cha's words, "Who in the entire Xijing City doesn't know that I am from the Zhenguo Palace? Who dares to provoke me at every turn? It's not my own business, actually..."
"Actually what?" Shen Haolin frowned slightly, "Did you and Uncle Ning talk about something this afternoon? Was it related to Xiaotian?"
"Hey, brother Haolin is also a god. How did you guess that?"
"I can tell just by looking at your expression, there's no need to guess." Shen Haolin also put down the pen in his hand, "Tell me, what's going on? What have you been talking about? It makes you so interested and makes you It’s definitely unusual to be so entangled.”
"That's what happened." Jin Miaomiao recounted the content of her chat with Prince Ning. After speaking, she looked at the two people who picked up the pen again, "Hey, why aren't you two surprised at all?"
"I've already guessed it, so there's nothing surprising." Shen Haolin finished the last stroke, stared at the pattern on the paper, and sighed softly, "When I was young, I felt that the relationship between Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue My relationship with my father and mother seemed to be different. As for why it was different, I was relatively young at that time, so I didn’t quite understand it, and I couldn’t explain it clearly. Anyway, I just felt that Aunt Xue and Uncle Xue were not as they seemed on the surface. The relationship is so good. In the same way, the relationship between mother and Aunt Xue is not as close as the legend says. If their relationship was so good, she, her father and Uncle Xue would not stop chatting every time Aunt Xue came. I immediately changed the subject.”
"I feel the same way. It's just that I didn't understand anything at that time and I didn't dare to say anything when I had questions. Now that I hear you say it, it's all clear." Shen Cha smiled at Jin Miaomiao, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning wants to I want you to tell Brother Xiaotian these words and persuade him not to be so radical, right?"
"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "But, I'm a little worried."
"Afraid that he won't believe you, right?" Seeing Jin Miaomiao curling her lips in disgust, Shen Cha smiled evilly, "Brother Xiaotian is not that kind of person, he is still someone who can listen to advice. But I can’t guarantee whether he will stop or not. Let’s put it this way, in this current situation, I really hope he will be more aggressive.”
"A blind trick." Shen Haolin glanced at Shen Cha, "You want to use Xiaotian to attract the other party's attention, so that our investigation will appear less conspicuous, right?"
"The one who knows me is my brother!" Shen Cha nodded, "With Brother Xiaotian at the front, we can stay behind him with peace of mind."
"You!" Shen Haolin stretched out his fingers to touch Chen Cha's forehead, "What a clever little guy!"
