After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan had already left. Xiao Rongxuan stood there, gritting his teeth as he looked at the leaving carriage.

"Damn it, are they just seeing my prince's joke, so they came here to teach me a lesson?"

"Your Highness, I think what His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Chu said is quite reasonable." Mu Feng, who was standing behind a house just now, walked out.

Xiao Rongxuan looked at him with an unkind look, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Your Highness, no matter why the Third Prince and Miss Chu said what they just said, one thing they said is right. The houses here do not need much repair. On the contrary, many residential buildings in the streets and alleys have already been repaired. It was in disrepair.”

"Do you think this prince doesn't know?" Xiao Rongxuan snorted, "Most of those places are remote. No matter how beautiful the houses are, not many people may notice them inside."

He had put so much effort into raising funds this time, so the final result naturally had to be in the most conspicuous place so that everyone could clearly see it.

As for those remote places, after the important places are repaired, if you have spare time, you can send people to deal with them.

The people who live in those places are untouchables. After all, they can't make any waves, so why waste time.

Seeing Xiao Rongxuan's thoughts clearly, Mu Feng frowned and said, "Your Highness, if there is a natural disaster and those houses collapse, then..."

Xiao Rongxuan interrupted Mu Feng impatiently, "Where do so many natural disasters come from? This is an imperial city, not one of those remote towns with harsh terrain. Besides, I have already sent people to investigate. Although Some of the houses are indeed old, but they are not that prone to collapse.”

This time he must seize the opportunity to make this matter his political achievement, and since it is a political achievement, it must be put on the bright side so that everyone can see it all the time and remember it all the time!

Mu Feng's frown deepened and he looked at Xiao Rongxuan hesitantly, but in the end he said nothing.

……

In the carriage, Chu Huanyan thought of Xiao Jinzhi's expression when she and Xiao Jinzhi left just now, and said in a deep voice.

"Although we reminded him just now, I'm afraid Xiao Rongxuan won't listen to us at all."

Perhaps in Xiao Rongxuan's view, they were just deliberately finding fault. Or, even if Xiao Rongxuan clearly knew that what they just said was correct, he might not really be dedicated to repairing other places.

"For Xiao Rongxuan, what matters more is merit." Xiao Jinzhi understood clearly. Seeing Chu Huanyan frown, he took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will participate in this matter in the court tomorrow. Once If the commotion breaks out, even if Xiao Rongxuan is not happy, he still has to repair it."

Chu Huanyan nodded, "I'm just worried that I won't have enough time."

Since he had spent so much effort to get to this point, it was naturally impossible to allow Xiao Rongxuan to use the money raised from donations to embellish his political achievements.

The only thing she couldn't worry about now was the uncertain time.

"We have tried our best. What's more, maybe the cold disaster in your dream will not break out at all." Xiao Jinzhi consoled him.

Chu Huanyan turned to look at Xiao Jinzhi and smiled a little, "I hope so."

But she had an increasingly bad feeling in her heart.

After sending Chu Huanyan back, Xiao Jinzhi returned to the Prince's Mansion and made arrangements for the next day's performance.

Chu Huanyan met the person he sent to find out about Concubine Mei.

After making some guesses before, she sent people to carefully investigate everything about Concubine Mei.

According to the results, Mei Fei came from a scholarly family and lost her mother when she was young. In the second year after she entered the palace, Mei Fei's father also died of illness.

She didn't have many brothers or sisters, and she didn't have much contact with her relatives at home, so after her father died, she almost lost contact with her family members.

However, the late emperor doted on her very much. There were not many concubines in the harem of the late emperor. After she entered the palace, he almost exclusively favored her until she was imprisoned in Merlin.

After hearing this news, Chu Huanyan didn't have any big reaction. Judging from this alone, there were really no useful clues.

"Is there anything else?" Chu Huanyan asked the boy who was ordered to inquire about the news.

"Miss, I also got a portrait of Concubine Mei." The boy took out a rolled portrait from his sleeve.

Chu Huanyan stepped forward to take it, and after unfolding it, she could see clearly the face of the person in the painting, and couldn't help but be stunned.

These facial features...are indeed somewhat similar to Xiao Jinzhi's.

"You did a good job this time. Go to the accounting office to receive the reward yourself, but remember that you are not allowed to tell anyone about the things you are asked to investigate."

"Yes, don't worry, miss, I won't tell anyone," the young man responded quickly.

After the boy left, Chu Huanyan looked at the portrait in front of her again.

The same peach blossom eyes, although a little more soft and beautiful, are very similar to Xiao Jinzhi's eyes.

Seeing that Chu Huanyan couldn't help but become more certain about her previous guesses.

But... there is no evidence!

A portrait alone can never be used as evidence.

After rolling up the portrait and carefully putting it into a secret compartment in the study, Chu Huanyan felt upset.

Even if Xiao Jinzhi is really the child of Concubine Mei and the late emperor, how can it be proven after so many years.

Moreover, Emperor Xiao did not kill Xiao Jinzhi. What was the reason for this?

Empress Wei said before that it was not that Emperor Xiao didn't want to trouble Xiao Jinzhi, but he just didn't dare, so why didn't he dare? Could it be that he was threatened by something?

The overlapping and rising questions made Chu Huanyan feel breathless.

After thinking about it, she walked out of the study and took Xian Yue out of the house with her.

Walking on the street, it was very lively with all kinds of vendors and pedestrians.

In addition, the sunshine today is very good, and it is warm on people's bodies. Everything it shines on is exceptionally bright, as if it wants to dispel all the haze.

"Miss, do you want to eat roasted chestnuts with sugar?" Xian Yue asked, and following her gaze, Chu Huanyan saw a stall selling roasted chestnuts.

Smiling, Chu Huanyan said, "Go buy some and we'll eat together."

"Okay!" Xianyue responded immediately and arrived in front of the stall.

Chu Huanyan stood on the street, waiting for the crescent moon.

Next to the stall where you can buy candied roasted chestnuts, there is a lady selling candied haws on a stick. She is selling candied haws on a stick.

The bunches of candied haws are particularly beautiful in red under the sunlight, and the sugar coating on them is crystal clear and glows brown.

There are many candied haws with layers of sugar shreds pulled out from them, covering the outside of the candied haws, which is very beautiful.

Chu Huanyan looked at the layers of sugar strands, feeling like layers of silk threads, wrapped around and covering them, and secretly admired the craftsmanship of the candied haws makers.

etc! silk……

Chu Huanyan was startled and suddenly remembered the sachet from before!
