Zhong Lizhou didn't expect that King Xuan would kill himself without him coming.
It's also his fault that his uncles have unclean hands.
Otherwise things wouldn't be so easy.
"When do you think it's appropriate to give it to the Imperial Grandfather?"
"It's up to you. Since I've given you something, I just want you to make the decision."
Xie Siheng originally wanted to hand it over himself.
But in this situation, he suddenly felt that it would be better to hand it over to Zhong Lizhou.
"Tomorrow is the palace banquet, why not wait until after the palace banquet? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame?"
Thinking of the last palace banquet, Ji Changying frowned and expressed her opinion.
Zhong Lizhou thought so too. He nodded: "Then after the palace banquet! Then I will show this to the emperor's grandfather."
"Then I'll leave after saying it's okay." Ji Changying came here today to see how the prince and princess were doing. Since nothing happened, she should go back.
Zhong Lizhou waved Yang Shen to come over: "Send the princess back."
"No need, it's just a short distance, I can walk on my own."
Ji Changying rejected Zhong Lizhou's kindness.
Xie Siheng glanced at her: "I happen to be on the way, let's come together."
Zhong Lizhou thought about it but didn't insist.
The two of them walked together on the street at night. Xie Siheng looked much quieter than before, colder and more taciturn.
"Do you know?" Ji Changying glanced at Xie Siheng's face quietly and asked in a lowered voice.
Xie Siheng froze and understood what Ji Changying was talking about almost instantly.
His jawline suddenly tightened and he fell silent.
Although he didn't speak, his reaction said it all.
"Actually, not everything the other party says may be credible. You need to figure out the details yourself."
Ji Changying didn't know how to comfort him, but there was one thing. Whether it was Aunt Lai or Marquis Xuanping, everything they said might not be the truth.
The two of them walked to the door of the princess mansion in silence, and then Xie Siheng suddenly said: "I know."
He knew that not all of those words were believable.
"Even if it's not entirely true, one thing I can be sure of is that they... are brothers and sisters."
After saying this, he turned around and left. His shadow was stretched long by the lanterns on the street, and was gradually submerged in the night.
Ji Changying sighed, glanced at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, turned around and walked quietly into the alley, thought for a moment and put a black hood on her head, then turned and headed straight for Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Taking advantage of today, she would return all the weapons that King Xuan had secretly hoarded to their original owners, so that she could solidify the evidence in Zhong Lizhou's hands.
When she arrived at Prince Xuan's Mansion, she happened to see Cui Taibao and Cui Lingze coming out of Prince Xuan's Mansion, both of whom had serious expressions on their faces.
It's already midnight, why don't these two people sleep and they just came out of Prince Xuan's Mansion?
Ji Changying watched them get on the carriage and walk towards Cui Guogong's mansion without seeing the two of them speaking. They seemed to be immersed in their own thoughts.
She followed them for a long time, but neither of them spoke. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
You two can tell me what's on your mind!
But the two of them didn't speak until they got home.
She reluctantly gave up and walked around Prince Xuan's Mansion. She found a weakly defended place and lurked in with her toes.
It was impossible for such a huge palace to not have a darkroom. Ji Changying used her mental power to search, and sure enough, she found a darkroom underground in a remote courtyard.
There was actually a lot of gold and silver treasure inside! Opening a box at random, the jewels and jewels inside made Ji Changying take a breath.
She looked at more than a dozen boxes one after another. The items in each box were more valuable than the last, and her face became serious.
How could a prince like King Xuan get so many gold and silver treasures?
Two words flashed through her mind involuntarily: corruption.
Thinking about it this way, she instantly felt it was reasonable.
If there was no corruption, where would the money come from to support private soldiers and stockpile weapons?
She received a box of gold and silver as reward, and left the rest as evidence. She also quietly put the weapons in the space in before leaving.
——
From the day the palace banquet started, the entire atmosphere in the capital seemed to be aroused.
The streets were crowded with people, and there was a long line of people entering the city as far as the eye could see.
The shops and vendors on the street were smiling from ear to ear. Everyone was preparing to make a fortune and have a prosperous New Year.
Yanyun came in with a group of maids carrying clothes and jewelry, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
"Princess! These are the clothes and jewelry sent by the queen. You can choose them to wear in the palace."
Ji Changying was a little dazzled looking at the colorful robes, crane cloaks and brocade embroidered jackets, "So many?"
Yanyun replied with a smile: "These are a few sets carefully selected by the slave, and there are many more in the warehouse. The eldest lady said that there is only one young lady in the family, the princess, so you can wear them freely!"
Ji Changying felt a little dizzy after hearing this. These clothes did look good, but they were complicated and gorgeous, making it difficult to walk or move.
If she wasn't attending a palace banquet, she would still be willing to wear some comfortable and simple clothes.
After choosing two pieces at random, Yanyun asked people to take out the remaining clothes, and then began to greet others to help Ji Changying wash and dress up.
After all the trouble, it was almost time to enter the palace.
Ji Fengyi's family stayed at home with Ren Southeast and Lao Lu.
Ji Fengshou rushed to the palace with his family of four.
Zhou looked at the crowds of people outside and asked Aunt Hua in surprise: "Are there so many people in Beijing every New Year?"
Ji Changying also took a look outside. Apart from the dense crowd of heads, he couldn't even see what was being sold on the street.
Grandma Hua said cheerfully: "It's probably because today is twenty-nine, so everyone rushed to buy all the things they didn't buy today. No one will sell them tomorrow, so there are so many people!" "
Based on the experience of the last time, Emperor Mingde very cautiously set the location of the palace banquet in the Imperial Garden, which is far away from the Piaomiao Garden.
The place was well decorated and arranged, and many guards were sent to guard it every ten steps.
Ji Fengshou and Ji Changchuan were men. After arriving at the place, the eunuchs led them to the men's places.
Aunt Hua took Zhou to the gathering place of the wives of various families, while Ji Changying was led by the palace maid to the place where the young lady was staying.
As soon as I arrived at Nuanting, I heard an arrogant voice: "A little lady from a barbaric land like you is worthy of wearing the same color as me? Please take off her clothes for me, the princess." Got it!"
"Wait! It's just a color, not a style. Even if you are the princess, you can't bully people like this!"
When Ji Changying heard this voice, she felt surprised.
Why does this voice seem to belong to Kou Yunyi?
Without stopping, she walked towards Nuanting.
