“This young lady is indeed intelligent. Indeed, the mastermind behind it all is the Second Prince.” Bao Bao feigned surprise, just like a storyteller in a teahouse.
Well, another prince has been dragged into this.
Qin Qi was somewhat speechless, but still asked, "How did you find out?"
"It's all over the place! It's only because you don't leave the manor that you don't know about it!" Bao Bao said proudly, with a sense of superiority like a prophet.
"It is said that the Second Prince invited the Fourth Prince to accompany him that day, and this incident happened in the afternoon. Fortunately, Li Shaoqing of the Dali Temple had already submitted the evidence, three copies in a row, with the last one being submitted later."
It turns out the news has already spread; everyone must know by now. But then again, otherwise, how could a little girl like Bao Bao possibly know?
Frowning, she thought for a moment. On that day, she and Shu Hua happened to be out on the street and ran into the Fourth Prince. It seemed that she did hear him say that the Second Prince was waiting for him ahead.
As I was pondering this, Bao Bao spoke up again: "His Majesty has already issued an edict to punish the Second Prince, and even after being granted the title of Queen, he is forbidden from attending court!"
Is it going to strip them of all their future rights as well?
Qin Xi stared at her in astonishment. Then she looked up at the blue sky above, a sense of melancholy creeping into her heart.
Is the capital really about to undergo a major upheaval?
"Oh dear, the Fourth Prince is truly wronged. Miss, would you like to go and comfort him?" Bao Bao blinked innocently.
Qin Xi, holding a teacup, paused for a moment, then frowned, slightly displeased: "I am now a wife, why would I go to see him? From now on, you are not allowed to mention him in front of me except for matters of state."
"Yes, this servant knows her crime." Bao Bao covered her mouth, realizing she had said the wrong thing.
...
...
Now that Princess Zhaoyang has been sent away, Xu Zi should naturally find a reason to return.
Finally able to return home, she got up unusually early. She intended to pack all her things, but found that she didn't have much to pack.
Even the dress she had prepared for any eventuality was washed and worn by her.
Fortunately, Shu Hua understood the situation and sent someone to deliver several sets of clothes; otherwise, given her habit of not carrying money when she goes out, she might have had nothing to wear.
Shuzhan didn't go out for a stroll today; instead, she wandered around her yard early this morning. Holding a folding fan, she paced back and forth, even pretending to recite a few lines of poetry.
If Xu Zi didn't know his temperament, she would have mistaken him for a handsome young gentleman.
Glancing at him, Xu Zi said speechlessly, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that she had finally noticed him, Shu Zhan beamed and quickly came in: "I heard you're going back today?"
"You're happy?" Xu Zi paused upon hearing this, stopped what she was doing, and frowned as she looked at him.
Shu Zhan's smile froze. He closed his folding fan, pressed his index finger to the corners of his mouth, and asked the servant following behind him, "Is it obvious?"
The servant stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and whispered, "It's obvious."
It was more than obvious; his beaming face made him even happier than on the day of Lu Ershao's wedding!
Upon hearing this, Shu Zhan pressed down on the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyelashes, pursed her lips, and tried her best to make a sad expression.
Xu Zi: "..."
"Hey! Hey hey hey!" Seeing that she was about to send him away again, Shu Zhan quickly moved aside, crossing his arms at his sides in a defensive posture. He quickly said, "I'm here today to bring you something."
Xu Zi paused, looking at the clouds on the horizon, and put the broom down in confusion: "Did the sun rise in the west?"
Shu Zhan: "..."
He rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, then unfolded his folding fan with a "whoosh" and waved it in a very dashing manner: "I just feel that you and I get along quite well. Since you're leaving, I'm giving you a parting gift. Here, take a look."
