"The Embroidered-Robe Envoy is investigating the palace maids?" The Crown Princess frowned immediately.
Now that the Crown Prince is incompetent, she is in charge of almost the entire Eastern Palace, and naturally there are many spies in the palace.
Zuan's previous whirlwind investigation did not escape the notice of those who were interested, and she soon received the news.
"Do you know why?" The Crown Princess's brows furrowed with worry. Could the investigation of the palace maids at this time be targeting her?
"It seems they're investigating the palace maids' entry and exit records. At the same time, many Embroidered Robe Envoys are searching for something in various wells. Judging from their appearance, they're probably looking for a corpse," Rong Mo guessed. "I wonder which palace maid was so pitiful that she was beaten to death by her master and alarmed the Emperor. If they find out, they won't have a good time."
The Crown Princess was pale. How could the death of an ordinary palace maid and servant girl have alarmed so many embroidered-robed messengers? It was obvious that they were after him.
Why did these embroidered-robed messengers find out so quickly that the palace maids were suspicious?
"Where is Lord Zu? I need to see him." The Crown Princess was in a state of turmoil. She couldn't discuss this matter with anyone else, so she instinctively thought of Zu An. That guy had managed to escape unscathed in that situation back then, so he should be able to find a way this time as well.
For some reason, thinking of him gradually calmed my heart.
Rong Mo snorted: "That guy was summoned by the Emperor and never came back."
"Is he still in the Imperial Study?" The Crown Princess's expression changed slightly. Had something happened?
"I heard he left the Imperial Study a long time ago, but he didn't even come back to pay his respects to the Crown Princess. He really doesn't respect Her Majesty at all." Rong Mo chattered on, taking the opportunity to sow discord for that vixen, since he came here and immediately started vying with me for the Crown Princess's favor.
Hearing that Zu'an was alright, the Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief. Her personal maid's thoughts had not escaped her notice, but she did not intend to expose them. After all, it was not good to treat Zu'an too differently in front of others.
"By the way, which Embroidered Robe Envoy is in charge of this investigation?" The Crown Princess picked up her tea and took a sip, while wondering if she could use her connections to make contact with the envoy.
Although the Embroidered-Robe Envoy was the Emperor's direct subordinate, the Crown Prince's long-standing efforts had also allowed him to maintain good relations with several high-ranking officials there.
"This time, the person in charge is a top-tier envoy, I think it's Lord Eleven," Rong Mo replied.
"The Eleventh Prince?" The Crown Princess nearly spilled the water from her teacup, her expression momentarily dazed and shy. "It's him..."
