Ruyi nodded, turned around and came to the table, quickly writing a letter, "When you leave the city, it's just right for you to go see my master. Whether the Third Prince can win this time depends on who will use the Yancheng Army."

She handed the letter to Xiao Pingyue.

"I knew I had to come find you!"

Xiao Pingyue was delighted. He took the letter and rubbed Ruyi's head. "I'll treat you to a meal and a drink when Big Brother comes back. I'll give you whatever you want!"

"I'm leaving first!"

As one wishes:"……"

Her hairpins were all twisted.

But the man's big palm was warm, and the heavy feeling was heartwarming.

"It looks like this year will be difficult."

Mrs. Xiao watched her son rush out and sighed, "I hope everything goes smoothly today."

"Ping Xin, go check on the people helping out in the mansion to see if there's anything unusual."

Minister Xiao also looked solemn, "Also, check the things at the entrance, there must be no problems."

Almost everyone in the court is here today.

If there is a problem with the food and drink, everyone will be punished.

Although Ruyi hasn't officially entered the palace yet, she can't care about etiquette when encountering such a big thing.

So he asked Minister Xiao, "Father, can I go with my second brother? Some poisons cannot be detected by silver needles."

"That will be hard on you."

Minister Xiao nodded and did not dare to stop him.

After all, there is a lot at stake.

"Walk!"

Xiao Pingxin glanced at Ruyi, and the two of them hurried out.

First check the servants in the mansion and screen all the new helpers to have a clear idea of ​​what is going on.

"Newcomers should follow the existing ones. You are not familiar with this place, so don't act alone. There are many distinguished people in the mansion today. If you run into them, you will die. You should decide for yourself."

Xiao Pingxin gathered everyone in the yard to give a speech.

Ruyi stood in front and observed the expressions of these people, "Everyone raise your heads."

Everybody raised their heads.

Only one person was weird.

He first raised his head, then lowered it subconsciously, then raised it again and stood straight.

"May I have your name?"

Ruyi walked forward, looked at him and asked.

The man tensed up, but his back was straight. He just didn't dare to look her in the eye, his eyeballs rolled up, "My little Wang Wu!"

"What did you do before?"

"I am...helping in the kitchen at Zuixinlou! I am here today to cook for our distinguished guests!"

“…”

When Ruyi heard the three words "Zui Xin Lou", her heart became even heavier.

Zuixinlou is Yan Weiyun's territory. If this person does something today and traces it back to Yan Weiyun...

The Prince of Yan is the emperor's sworn brother, and he has fiefdoms in the south and troops at his disposal.

It is impossible for Prince Yan's Mansion to follow the Third Prince.

So, the third prince wants to kill two birds with one stone!

He wishes!

Ruyi's pupils shrank slightly and said, "So, last time at Zuixinlou, you also added ingredients to my incense?"

She knew that this matter had nothing to do with this person.

However, she wanted to make trouble and alert the enemy, so she pressed the dagger against the man's neck and sneered, "Do you know what day it is today?"

"How dare you come to this princess's family recognition banquet!"

The dagger was used with force and blood oozed out!

"No, no, no, that matter has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me. Princess Zhaoyang, please don't be impulsive..."

It doesn't matter what he says.

Ruyi just paid attention to his eyes.

Having said this, he glanced in another direction out of the corner of his eye.

Ruyi followed his gaze and suddenly met the eyes of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was stunned at first, then he smiled calmly, "I greet the princess."

Too frank.

However, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, so his smile was not clear.

Ruyi sneered in her heart, let go of the boy, and slowly walked up to the man, "Who are you?"

"you--"

The man's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect Ruyi to do this.

Behind him, Xiao Pingxin was also a little stunned.

He had never seen Ruyi like this before.

She used to be warm and polite, but today she is so arrogant and presumptuous, as if she doesn't take anyone seriously.

The middle-aged man was shocked, but he chose to swallow his anger and knelt down and said, "I have offended the princess, please forgive me."

Ruyi caught a glimpse of his clenched fist.

"Are you also from Zuixinlou?"

She lifted his chin with a dagger and said, "This princess hates Zuixinlou the most. How dare any of you come to my house?"

Middle-aged man: “…”

At this time, a woman stepped forward to smooth things over, "Please calm down, my lady. We are ignorant and impolite. We have offended you and I apologize!"

As he said this, he knelt down towards Ruyi.

"Lift your head!"

Ruyi looked at the woman and remembered this person.

It was played and sung by Zuixinlou!

"What are you doing here today?"

Ruyi looked at her, "Are you here to help in the kitchen too?"

The cold touch of the dagger slid across her face. The woman turned pale and stammered, "No, no, I came here to sing..."

"Did the people from Zuixinlou all follow you?"

Ruyi narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and revealed a nasty smile, "If you dare to say a wrong word, I will cut your face into a sieve!"

The woman turned pale.

"I brought the people from Zuixinlou here, thirteen in total. Please spare my life, princess. Please spare my life!"

"Thirteen of you, come out!"

Ruyi let her go and looked around.

In addition to the two men and the woman just now, eight more men and two women came out.

All these people lowered their heads.

But Ruyi's attention was not on these people.

She suddenly glanced at the others and saw that another woman had gloomy eyes, a serious expression, and a slightly furrowed brow, as if she had encountered something difficult.

Ruyi walked up to her and smiled, "You are the leader of this group, right?"

"W-what?"

The woman had no idea that she had done something wrong and exposed her identity, because she was the fourteenth person!

"You are from Zuixinlou, but you are not from Zuixinlou either."

Ruyi stared at her and said, "You came here today under the banner of Zuixinlou to handle your own affairs."

"If you succeed, Zuixinlou will take the blame for you."

"The master behind you is really smart!"

Ruyi said, glancing at Langya, "Go to Prince Yan's Mansion and ask Prince Yan to come over."

Langya nodded.

She had only been with Ruyi for a few days, but she was already full of admiration for this little girl.

Xiao Pingxin looked at Ruyi with a gleam in his eyes.

"How did you know that?"

To be honest, when he took a quick look at these people, he really couldn't see anything special about them.

"If you observe people's expressions for a long time, you will become sensitive." Ruyi smiled bitterly, "In the past ten years, I have been paying attention to the changes of people around me every moment."

"Even a look or a trivial action from the Shen family father and son can affect my heart, make me cry, make me laugh, make me feel uncomfortable, and force me to please them."
