Myna flew over Shen's house and flew to the carriage window.

Yan Ruyu lifted the curtain, welcomed it in, tapped the car wall, and the carriage slowly drove away.

Myna's voice was shrill: "Book meaning, book meaning! Straw bag, straw bag!"

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe's eyes met, and sure enough, the news that Ba Ge detected was the same as they expected.

Yan Ruyu caressed Bago's little round head: "Since they want to play this kind of trick, let's have fun with them."

Shen Huaixin left the food matter to Cheng Shuyi. With his heart like a huge stone under the pines, he personally took people to investigate and deal with the affairs of various bookstores.

Whether it was insinuations or accusations, he would not tolerate it.

He took the carriage and asked his servants to lead the people ahead. He thought he would be caught off guard, but he didn't expect that in the bookstore today, without exception, there were no storytellers.

When I asked, the excuses were almost the same, saying that the storyteller was sick, or that he wanted to come up with new jokes, so he gave me three days of reservation money.

Why wouldn't the teahouse owner be happy to make money for nothing? It was indeed full before, so they were willing to wait and sell favors.

After struggling for a long time, I didn't catch anyone.

Shen Huaixin felt sulky. The carriage drove near Princess Mingzhao's mansion and wanted to see him.

Unexpectedly, he went to the door and asked the servant to report. The servant said that the princess had been unwell recently and had gone to a Taoist temple outside the city to recuperate. She was not in the house.

There is indeed a Taoist temple outside the city. The Taoist priest is a woman and quite capable.

Princess Mingzhao rarely goes out. Once she goes out, she will most likely go to the Taoist temple.

Shen Huaixin cursed secretly, "Women are useless" and ordered to leave.

Before, he thought of using Princess Mingzhao to make Huo Changhe feel bad, but it didn't work, and he was counterattacked, and this woman was also dragged in, becoming a stone to attack him.

Now I am hiding in a Taoist temple.

The more Shen Huaixin thought about it, the angrier he became.

In the princess's palace, Ruzhi handed Princess Mingzhao a bowl of medicine: "Princess, why do you want to avoid seeing me? The city protector must have something important to do before he comes."

"What can he do? He just wants to cause trouble for the prince." Princess Mingzhao took a sip of the medicine, and the bitter taste spread straight from her throat to her whole body.

She paused, then raised her head and drank the medicine.

No one feels sorry for you, but you still have to drink it no matter how hard it is. Who can show you the pretentiousness?

"But, now the prince simply..." Ruzhi took the medicine bowl back, unable to say the next words.

I thought that with the arrival of King Zhennan, things would be different in the future. But now it is better. Not only is it not getting better, it is actually getting worse.

"What the prince does is his business. We just live our own lives." Princess Mingzhao lay down and closed her eyes. "You go out first, and I will sleep for a while."

Ruzhi had no choice but to withdraw.

Looking around, the courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. What's the point of living like this?

Green Lake was still in prison, and the princess had no intention of saving her. Ruzhi's heart trembled slightly, she didn't want to end up like that.

He waved to a little maid: "The princess is asleep. Don't make any noise if you have nothing to do. I'll go to the kitchen to make soup. If the princess wakes up, you guys will come back like this."

"Yes."

Shen Huaixin's carriage was not moving very fast. He wanted to walk on the street and listen to any rumors that were unfavorable to him.

No one talks about storytelling anymore, but in just a few days, storytelling is so powerful that it has spread almost everywhere.

As they were walking forward, the carriage suddenly stopped and there was a commotion outside.

"What happened?"

The coachman answered outside: "Sir, there is a bookstore ahead. There are too many people and the road is blocked. I will turn around now."

I've heard that women come early to queue up for the new jewelry store. I've heard about people queuing up to get some cheap rice. This is the first time that the bookstore is so crowded that it blocks the road.

"Wait a minute," Shen Huaixin ordered, lifting the curtain and looking out.

Sure enough, it was a bookstore, and it was an old bookstore. I remember that if the academy needed any books, they would go to this one, and it seemed to be from the Qian family.

Business is good, but it hasn't been this good before.

"Go and ask what's going on."

The driver parked the car and was about to ask when Shen Huaixin stopped him again.

Shen Huaixin's eyes locked on a middle-aged man in the crowd.

This man was dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a blue cotton robe and a leather hat, with a smile on his face.

Shen Huaixin was surprised. This person's surname was Sima. It was not that he had a good memory, but that the Sima family was too special. A secret letter had arrived in Youcheng three days before they arrived.

Shen Huaixin was still young at that time and didn't remember it at all. His grandfather told him and taught him to recognize and remember every member of the Sima family.

He remembered that the last time he met this man, he worked as a porter for others. Occasionally when he was too busy, he had the opportunity to help calculate the accounts.

Although he was also resolute at that time, his expression was sad, his face was sallow and his muscles were thin, and he was dangling in his robe.

He is also thin now, but like an upright bamboo, his perseverance is still there, and there is a sparkle in his eyes, like a dead tree suddenly experiencing spring.

Moreover, he is now in the bookstore, decent and clean, and his whole person seems to be shining.

Shen Huaixin frowned slightly and whispered to the coachman: "Let's find out how that man came to work here."

"Yes."

Shen Huaixin was waiting for news when he suddenly heard someone tapping on the car wall.

"My lord, I need to see you for something."

Shen Huaixin looked out and saw a woman standing next to the car. She was in her twenties, dressed as a slave, and had a hibiscus silver hairpin on the back of her head.

Shen Huaixin felt unfamiliar: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

The shy smile on Ruzhi's face froze slightly, and she clenched the handkerchief tightly with her fingers.

She has some medical skills and has been stuck in the mansion all year round, serving Princess Mingzhao's soup and medicine. Unlike Green Lake, she can follow the princess and serve her. She is a powerful maid.

"This servant is from Princess Mingzhao's mansion, and she is the medical girl beside the princess."

Hearing this, Shen Huaixin looked at her again: "Then if you are not with the princess, what do you want to do with me?"

"My lord, the princess did not go to the Taoist temple, she is in the mansion."

Shen Huaixin raised his eyebrows slightly, the anger in his eyes flashed away, and he looked at the hibiscus hairpin on her head: "Come up and talk."

Ruzhi felt happy and stepped into the car lightly.

……

Yan Ruyu was "forced" by Huo Changhe to take a nap. When she woke up, she was full of energy. Huo Changhe had already prepared the rest.

Seeing that she was awake, Huo Changhe went over the plan with her again.

Just after he finished speaking, Linlang asked from outside: "What's the matter?"

Beibei snorted softly: "I'm here to see the prince. I have something important to report."

"What's the matter?"

"Can you be reasonable? It's important. Can you tell others casually?"

"I'm not unreasonable, I only follow the rules of the princess," Linlang said firmly, every word was like a nail, "Then you wait, I will report it."

Huo Changhe shook his head and smiled: "This little girl you are looking for is really... Every time I come here, she will question me like this."

"Then Beibei can calm down, even the prince is like this."

Yan Ruyu also smiled heartily and asked Linlang to call Beibei in to reply.

As soon as Beibei met, he quickly handed over an invitation: "Your Majesty, this is sent by Shen Huaixin."
