This one sentence perfectly locked Jiang Qingqing's position at that time.

Jiang Qingqing's heart paused for a moment, but the smile on her lips never froze. She tilted her head slightly and looked at her uncle on horseback.

"After eating and drinking, of course we have to go out for a walk."

She was very confident and didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

Jiang Chen and Princess Qi Yang, who were standing beside them, went from being panicked at first to finally mustering up their courage and standing calmly and openly behind Jiang Qing Qing.

Xiao Linting only felt a dull pain in his head.

The last time he left the palace, he and Her Royal Highness the Princess passed by the shop at the intersection. He felt that there were too many suspicious points about the shop, so he had been secretly investigating the situation of the shop in the past few days.

Finally, I got a clue today and dared to lead the soldiers to capture the shopkeeper. However, I didn't expect that the shopkeeper was also a slippery person and managed to cover up the loophole.

Just as he was walking out of the shop, feeling annoyed and thinking that this clue might have come to an end, he saw Jiang Qingqing sitting in the shop opposite, eating hard.

He originally thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess felt that the Princess's Mansion was too boring, so she ran out to take a look around outside the mansion, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Later, his subordinates gave him new information that the owner of the shop secretly handed the goods to people outside the capital to be sent out. He then hurriedly asked people to prepare fast horses, chased after the car again, and intercepted the car.

A large number of pepper seeds were confiscated, as well as the lessons learned in the relevant Imperial College courses.

All these evidences pointed out that there was a traitor in the palace.

Just as he was about to take the evidence back to Kyoto to meet the emperor and discuss how to catch the traitor, he saw a sneaky figure behind him.

When the man was brought in front of him, Xiao Linting could hardly remember who that man was.

It was the little girl who followed Her Royal Highness the Princess to rescue not long ago.

The little girl looked flustered. She just said that she was going to visit relatives far away and happened to meet them.

This made Xiao Linting think of the situation in Ba Village. He instructed his subordinates to send the evidence to the palace with extreme caution, and he ran to Ba Village as if possessed by a ghost.

This is the current situation.

Jiang Qingqing, along with the Third Prince and Princess Qi Yang, stood lazily in the village, muttering to themselves about something, while not far away stood a local official, who looked anxious but did not dare to step forward.

Xiao Linting only felt a dull pain in his head.

"Have you had enough of shopping?"

He asked back in a deep voice.

Facing the pressure from the emperor's uncle, Jiang Chen felt a belated fear and secretly tugged at Jiang Qingqing's sleeve.

The latter silently retracted his sleeves and looked into Xiao Linting's phoenix eyes without fear.

"We've almost finished our shopping. We're just about to go back."

His expression was confident, but his words still sounded cowardly.

Jiang Qingqing and the other two entered the village in a swaggering manner, and after leaving the village, they got on the carriage with their heads hung.

Afterwards, under the protection of Xiao Linting, he returned to Kyoto safely.

The eldest princess chatted with the servants in the mansion and found out that Jiang Qingqing had taken the Third Prince out of the mansion to play early in the morning.

Just when she was about to send someone to Kyoto to look for the two imperial heirs, a man hurriedly came running to the door.

"Madam, today someone in the court sent a memorial to Your Majesty, saying that Princess Dunming is naughty and that she is constantly being taught and has no manners of a princess at all..."

He was a retainer at the Princess's residence, and he hurriedly relayed what those who had submitted petitions had said at the court this morning.

The eldest princess, who was sitting in the main seat, looked more and more solemn.

She knew best what happened at the eldest princess' birthday party and whether Jiang Qingqing was well-behaved or not.

On this side of the carriage, no one was aware that because of the issue of memorials presented at the morning court, everyone's attention in the capital was focused on Princess Dunming.

Soon, someone caught hold of Jiang Qingqing's new unruly behavior and quickly wrote a memorial to Emperor Qing reporting on her secret departure from Kyoto.

By the time the three of them were escorted back to the Princess's residence by Xiao Linting, the residence had been silent for a long time.

As soon as she entered the mansion, she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

The four of them walked all the way to the backyard, and right in the middle of the hall, they saw the eldest princess sitting in the main seat, looking through some long memorial in her hand.

Xiao Linting was no stranger to memorials. Looking at the memorial in the eldest princess's hand, he knew that the eldest princess was probably aware of what had happened in the morning court.

"Where did your highness go just now?"

The eldest princess looked at Jiang Qingqing, put down the long note in her hand, and asked calmly.

Jiang Qingqing had already predicted the situation in the capital while on the road.

So when she arrived at the Princess's residence, she saw the Imperial Aunt looking at her solemnly. Although she was still a little afraid of her elders' anger, she still went in.

Just as he was about to point out his fault in advance, his knees went weak and he was about to kneel down.

The eldest princess, who was sitting in the main seat, slammed the table and said angrily, "Those damn people! How dare you say that about our Qingqing!"

Jiang Qingqing was so frightened that she stood up straight immediately.

Xiao Linting raised his hand and subconsciously touched Jiang Qingqing's head.

[Wait, this direction, this scolding, is not what I expected? Is my action when entering the mansion wrong?]

The eldest princess angrily turned her gaze to Xiao Linting beside her, and then showed him the copied memorial in her hand.

"You must have witnessed the morning court you attended today. Tell me, how could those damned people be so cruel! How dare they lay hands on a child!?"

Once the eldest princess gets angry, she won't stop mumbling.

"Whose child doesn't have some nature? Whose child isn't a little naughty? And you say our Qingqing is too naughty, what a joke!"

[My goodness, the fighting power of the Imperial Aunt is getting stronger day by day. Where is the Buddhist attitude she had at the beginning!? ]

Seeing this, Xiao Linting hurriedly put Jiang Qingqing's little head behind him.

He didn't want Jiang Qingqing to know about the mess that happened in the previous dynasty in advance.

"They never targeted Her Royal Highness the Princess, but rather Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xiao Linting spoke in a steady voice, slowly explaining the current situation.

The two of them were discussing how to fight back against this group of people, but Jiang Qingqing heard a lot of things in their conversation.

Someone from the previous dynasty reported that she was not acting properly as a princess, and there must be someone in the harem ready to take action against her and Jiang Chen.

If I go back to the harem now, I will probably face a big storm.

so……

She has to go back to the harem with Jiang Chen!

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is.

She also has to find out the murderer hiding in the harem. No matter what, she has to be on guard in advance.

"If they dare to say that Qingqing is not well behaved, then I will tell everyone that Princess Dunming of Tianqi can play however she wants!"
