General Zuo asked with some skepticism, "Why did the Crown Princess choose me?"
"Because General Zuo is all alone and only obeys His Highness's orders. These troops may seem to obey General Zuo, but that may not be the case in reality."
"I will trouble General Zuo to keep an eye on another person."
General Zuo was puzzled.
"Huo Xi".
"General Huo Xi?"
“I’ve seen him in Jincheng, and I’ve seen him getting along very well with the Second Prince. I’ve also seen him with the Second Prince in Beichu.” Princess Jiahua spoke off the cuff without needing any evidence. With just a little prompting, she knew that General Zuo was a smart man.
An investigation will surely uncover some clues.
General Zuo scoffed, "Princess Consort, don't spread alarmist rumors. The Second Prince and His Highness have a good relationship. General Huo Xi was expelled from Jincheng long ago and could not possibly be here. You must be mistaken."
General Zuo did not believe this.
“The Huo family has a secret passage that leads directly outside the city. General Zuo can send men to guard the exit. Within three days, we will surely be able to capture Huo Xi alive.”
Princess Jia Hua told her the exit without hesitation.
"Whether it is true or not, we will know in three days. General Zuo will not lose anything anyway."
Upon hearing this, General Zuo gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I'll trust you this once. If I don't see the person in three days, I will definitely report this to Your Highness."
"good!"
Princess Jia Hua looked solemn.
She went to the Huo family yesterday with the Seventh Prince, which disturbed Huo Xi's snake. Huo Xi will definitely leave.
Now all she needs to do is wait for good news.
...
Phoenix Palace
When Empress Yan learned that the Seventh Prince had accompanied Princess Jia Hua to the Huo family yesterday evening, her expression suddenly changed: "Why would the Seventh Prince's wife go to the Huo family for no reason?"
"This servant does not know."
Empress Yan, no longer able to feign illness, threw off the covers, stood up, and paced anxiously around the hall. She asked again, "Is it just copying scriptures, nothing else?"
No.
"Go and invite the Seventh Prince."
The palace maid nodded.
Empress Yan was in a state of great anxiety. She sent someone to deliver a message to her father and also to the person in question, telling him to keep a low profile for the time being, not to show his face recklessly, and to be cautious.
Empress Yan racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Princess Jia Hua went to the Huo family. Did she discover something?
No, no one can predict the future.
But how did the news from Northern Chu reach Princess Jia Hua?
She had clearly already sent people to guard the Seventh Prince's residence.
That's unbelievable.
