Shangguan Zi dreamed that he looked serious, so she no longer doubted him and told him the truth: "The prince just came into the palace. Do you have anything to do with him?"

"What's the point of telling you?"

"Who am I looking down on? After all, I am the future princess of this palace." She said, trying to look mature and steady: "How is it? Isn't it very stylish?"

"..."

"You've admitted that it's not true. You're so shocked that you can't even speak. As expected, when this princess is serious, she's still very stunning, very beautiful, very that and that."

Sorry, I'm at a loss for words.

Feng Yidao waved his hands and sighed in his heart that the power of love was really too strong. She, who was so cold before, had become so "unbearable to look at" now.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging and amusing yourself. Isn't that enough for me?"

"Go ahead."

Feng Yidao found a stone pier and sat on it. While resting, he said, "This is what happened. After I recovered from my injury, the prince sent me to monitor He Pingnan in the Southern Marquisate. Just two days ago, He Pingnan and the Minister of War Qi Yi had an argument in public at the gate of the imperial city. It was a fierce argument."

Hearing the name Qi Yi, Shangguan Zimeng thought of her own glorious deeds: "Why does this old man love to quarrel with others? Before, he quarreled with another old man in the palace. Fortunately, I persuaded them with emotion and reason, and they stopped quarreling."

"You are kind, Princess."

"That's not the case, but they fought."

"..."

Feng Yidao glanced at her and guessed accurately in his mind that the fight must be related to her, but he didn't say it out loud and continued to report the information he had obtained.

"It seems that the quarrel between the two was about the ownership of military power. He Pingnan has a 5000-man cavalry. I heard that this is the world's most powerful cavalry - the Black Tiger Cavalry, and its combat effectiveness is particularly strong."

Shangguan Zimeng had some impression of this. She heard from the prince that this marquis was a person who followed the previous king to conquer the world and was able to survive and retain military power. Unexpectedly, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command was so strong.

"You go on."

"Qi Yi believed that He Pingnan was a duke and should repay the emperor's kindness by handing over his military power to the court. The marquis was very dissatisfied with this. So the two of them started arguing, calling him a traitor, a poor and stinking scholar, and short-sighted. "

He recalled carefully for a while and added: "And the daughter of the Marquis's mansion, she is really a general's daughter, so beautiful, but in order to protect her father, she unexpectedly pulled out a dagger and stabbed Qi Yi in public. The old man was quite brave, in his sixties or seventies, but he didn't even take a step back and didn't even blink. If the Marquis hadn't stopped his precious daughter, I think someone would have died."

Shangguan Zimeng touched her neck, which had not yet healed. She was still frightened by what happened that night, and asked, "This marquis came to the palace to do business and brought his daughter with him. What does that mean? Is he trying to find a concubine position for his daughter?"

"Princess, what are you thinking? He did this because of you, Princess."

"Because of me? Tell me about it."

Feng Yidao explained, "The Marquis was afraid that his precious daughter would secretly cause trouble with you again and upset the Prince, so he has been taking her with him since the day you were assassinated, never leaving for a moment."

"Is that so? I've been thinking too much." She turned around and slapped her forehead. An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she thought of what Huaying had just reported.

"Could it be that the Qi Mansion was sealed today because of this incident?"

Feng Yidao was surprised and asked, "What? The Qi Mansion was sealed?"

She realized that the matter seemed to be really complicated, and asked, "Why did you come to report such an important matter only today?"

"The prince told me to report every three days."

"That depends on the situation. He is so stupid, just like me."

"Well, that's really incomparable."

Shangguan Zimeng was choked by his words and could only say: "Are you polite?"

"I think I have something else to report."

"What do you mean by 'seems to be'? The way you report the news, it's a good thing the prince is not here today, otherwise, you would be beaten. Hurry up and tell me!"

Feng Yidao sorted out the thoughts in his mind, organized his words, and said, "Yesterday I saw the daughter of the Marquisate go to the Qi Mansion. She said she was there to apologize to Qi Yi on behalf of the Marquis, but Qi Yi ignored her. His youngest son Qi Quan entertained her. I heard that Qi Quan had admired her for a long time, so he was naturally very happy. The two chatted for the whole afternoon."

Shangguan Zimeng: Qiquan, this name is so casually chosen.

"go on."

"I want to drink water."

"Drink after you finish talking."

"Well, during this period, He Xinyue excused herself from work under the pretext of going to the toilet and sneaked into the study room of the Qi residence. It is unknown what she did specifically."

Shangguan Zimeng said indignantly: "Don't even think about it, they must be doing something bad! Then again, you said, they chatted for an entire afternoon, didn't they do anything else?"

"..."

"No kidding, go and call Wu Du and Zhou Yan over for me."

"Princess, I'm thirsty."

"Drink after you order."

"Oh, that's good."

After a while, the three of them came to the backyard together.

Shangguan Zimeng had already guessed what had happened. It must be He Xinyue who replaced the memorial that Qi Yi was going to present to the emperor. There were some extremely disrespectful words in the memorial, which made the emperor very angry.

The most urgent task is to find evidence.

"We will split into two groups. Wudu and Feng Yidao will sneak into Qi's house in the name of the palace and ask Qi Quan about what happened that afternoon. It would be best if we could go to the study to see if there are any clues."

"As ordered."

"Princess, I'm thirsty."

"Drink when you come back."

"..."

Wu Du, Feng Yidao jumped over the wall and left the house.

"Zhou Yan, come with me to pay a visit to the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes."

……

The security at the Nan Guo Marquis Mansion was not very strict, and the two masked men who changed into casual clothes easily came to their backyard. Coincidentally, they saw He Xinyue happily entering the room.

Shangguan Zimeng immediately followed in and covered her mouth from behind. Zhou Yan followed closely behind and put the knife to her neck.

"Don't shout, or we will strip you naked and put you on the bed to kill you."

"..."

Zhou Yan looked at the princess in disbelief. She was obviously a girl but spoke with a man's voice. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Miss is really amazing. However, what she said was unexpected and embarrassing.

He Xinyue was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word and nodded tremblingly.

Shangguan Zimeng was very satisfied with her performance. She found a piece of cloth, covered her mouth with it, and began to trap her using the clues she knew.

"Listen carefully, the conversation we are about to have is very important and concerns your innocence. You have to answer whatever I ask. If you dare to lie, (evil laughter) girl, you are really good-looking, hehe."
