East Palace.
Xie Qing lay lazily, with the palace maids helping him apply medicine.
Prince Du saw a figure flash by the door and nodded to Xie Qing.
Xie Qing raised his hand and asked the palace maids and others to go down.
Song Shao watched as all the servants in the hall had left before he quietly moved into the room step by step.
Xie Qing grabbed the medicine bottle and threw it over angrily: "Sneaky! Shouldn't you be working for the Lu family at this hour? Why are you running here when it's not time to answer?"
Song Shao took the medicine bottle and said with a bitter face, "I was sold by someone."
???
Xie Qing thought he had misheard. He looked at Master Du and saw that he was also shocked. He asked again, "Sold? Why don't I understand what you mean? How could a spy like you be sold?"
Song Shao was about to cry. He felt ashamed. "The greenhouse collapsed today. Madam is holding us accountable. She sold all the people who served us today. We were all bought by Miss Qin."
Xie Qing scratched his ears, thinking he had misheard again: "What did Miss Qin hire you to do?"
Song Shao said, "Miss Qin has a farm in the south. She said that the people who bought the Pingyang Marquis's mansion could not stay in the capital, so they were sent to the south to farm."
Xie Qing suddenly thought of the land in Xiaoxue Village. Qin Wan treasured it very much!
How precious was he? A rich young lady stayed at the farm for ten days or half a month. Not only did she stay there, but she also changed into coarse clothes and went to work in the fields.
I got quite tanned in just a short period of time, and it hasn't turned white yet.
Thinking of this, Xie Qing grabbed another bottle of medicine and threw it over: "Useless stuff."
Song Shao knew everything was fine when he saw that he was angry. He took the medicine bottle with a smile and said, "It's no use for you to be angry. Now this little pawn of mine can't go back to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. Now I have to be sent south to farm. I came back to ask His Highness for the rules. Do you want to go with him or come back here first?"
Song Shao is a spy specially trained by Xie Qing over the years. He has been kept in the Lu family for many years. Now he is finally put to use, but he is sold again.
As soon as he thought about it, Xie Qing was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and he grabbed the things at hand and wanted to throw them away.
Prince Du quickly held his hand and said, "Be careful of the wound."
He added, "Since you're curious about what Miss Qin is doing, why not let him go south with you? That would be a way to atone for his sins."
Xie Qing nodded: "The most important thing for a spy is to protect himself, and you actually let someone sell him out!"
Song Shao scratched his head and said naively, "How about I steal something from over there? I heard they're sending grain over there. Let's take a look and see what kind of treasure it is that's worth sending all the way over there."
Xie Qing couldn't help it, grabbed the last bottle of medicine and threw it over. This time Song Shao didn't catch it, and it hit him directly on the head.
Song Shao didn't care about the pain and hurriedly caught the medicine bottle to prevent it from falling to the ground. He wanted to say something more with a playful smile, but when he looked up and saw his master's face, he quickly fell silent, carefully collected the medicine bottles in his arms, moved forward step by step, and carefully put the bottles back on the table one by one.
Xie Qing pointed at him with a trembling hand: "You also know that the thing was specially escorted there, and you still went to steal it? Wouldn't that expose you again? You are such a fool!"
After cursing, Xie Qing impatiently drove him away: "Get out!"
"Why!"
Song Shao didn't even dare to say goodbye and ran away crawling.
Prince Du said with a smile, "Your Highness, this guy doesn't seem very reliable, but I think he will be able to bring something back for you within a year."
Xie Qing nodded. He was relieved about this. Although he was curious about what Qin Wan was doing in Xiaoxue Village, the most important thing at the moment was the fourth brother.
"What the fourth brother has in his hands is the same as what we have, but I don't know how far the things in Pingyang Hou's hands have progressed." Xie Qing has planned to this point and will not allow even the slightest failure.
Stealing the recipe would only alert the enemy. He sent people to follow Lao Si's people and take advantage of the chaos to find the place where Lao Si manufactured firearms. When he came up with the results, he would wipe out both the people and the place, which would be a heavy blow to him.
Prince Du laughed and said, "The Marquis of Pingyang has most likely joined the Fourth Brother. I'm telling you, you're not willing to give the Bai family any sweet treats. Otherwise, wouldn't he be supporting you now?"
Xie Qing's disgust was visibly evident: "Don't you know what Bai is thinking? After failing to seduce me, she tried to seduce the Fourth Brother. She doesn't support anyone at all. She's just clinging to the powerful and wealthy, a fence-sitter!"
His words were still polite. In the eyes of Master Du, Bai was the most popular lady in the brothel who was popular with everyone.
"Then why don't you, the Crown Prince, condescend to deal with her? We are not afraid that she has something to ask for, but we are afraid that she has nothing to ask for." Prince Du said earnestly.
Xie Qing fiddled with his clothes: "I think she's dirty."
Prince Du tsk-tsk-tsked, then added, "I'm not asking you to have anything to do with her. Just meet her, exchange a few ambiguous words, and she'll start thinking that way without you even having to say anything. Then, it'll be easy to get what you want, won't it?"
Xie Qing snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate women. You never know when she will stab you in the back!"
"Yes, yes, you're right." Prince Du disagreed. He really didn't think the Bai family was that powerful. "If she was smart, how could she have pursued the Pingyang Marquis for eight years without any status? It must be that Miss Qin is strong-willed and unwilling to be wronged. Otherwise, if she was allowed in first, wouldn't it be easy to control her?"
"How many ways are there in this world to make someone die quietly? Miss Qin is too soft-hearted to take action, and she's unwilling to put herself in a difficult position, which is why the Bai family took advantage of her."
