"What did Miss Jiang Er say?"
"She thanked the Queen Mother and said she wanted to say a few words to her in private."
"Did the Queen Mother agree?"
"The Queen Mother had originally agreed, but then the Empress suddenly arrived with Princess Wenyi. Then, Concubine Qu and Princess Jingyi also came to see the Queen Mother. It seems the two princesses had some conflict over the choice of a husband, and both wanted to ask the Queen Mother for the final say."
Hearing the cold tone of Ghost Face talking about the gossip between women, Chen Yubai raised the corners of his mouth and said with gloating:
"The Empress and the Imperial Concubine are enemies, and their daughters are enemies too. My brother's backyard is about to catch fire."
Ghost Face paused and said:
"Once these people arrived, the Empress Dowager naturally had no time to take care of Miss Jiang Er. After Miss Jiang Er left the waterside pavilion, a maid from the Ninth Prince's mansion came to look for her, and Miss Jiang Er followed her."
Shen Yubai opened his eyes and asked with interest:
"Where's Jiang Huaizhu?"
"She met an unidentified man in black and secretly told him something. Because the man in black also knew martial arts, my subordinates couldn't get too close and didn't hear what they said."
Shen Yubai nodded.
The place where they were was the Queen Mother's villa. There were so many noble ladies attending the banquet today, so the Queen Mother directly mobilized the Jinwu Guards to defend it.
All entrances and exits of the entire villa are heavily guarded, and Jinwu Guards are constantly patrolling outside the courtyard walls, and will never allow uninvited thieves to sneak in.
But in this situation, the man in black still sneaked in without anyone noticing.
The black-clothed man's martial arts skills are definitely not low, and he can be considered a master in the martial arts world.
So the question is, what does Jiang Huaizhu want to do by finding such a master?
The first thing Shen Yubai thought of was Jiang Xiancao.
In Jiang Huaizhu's view, Jiang Xiancao and the Ninth Prince had joined forces to ruin her reputation and cut off her hope of marrying into the royal family and becoming a princess. She hated them so much that she naturally wanted to take revenge.
It wasn't just revenge. She must have thought that as long as she could discredit these two people and make everyone think there was something else behind the drowning case, she could turn the tables.
Was the maid from the palace who went to look for Miss Jiang Er really sent by the Ninth Prince?
"Send two skilled secret guards to follow the man in black, and then you go and follow Miss Jiang closely, never leaving her side."
"Yes, I understand."
Ghost Face stood up and was about to leave, but he saw Shen Yubai reaching out and pressing the mechanism of the wheelchair, and turned back in surprise:
"Master, where are you going?"
Shen Yubai smiled lightly, "Of course I'm going to find Xiao Jiuer, we haven't finished talking yet."
