Half an hour later, Pan Qi, who had been out on business, finally came back and gave Princess Yongjia a list.
It was said that from the time General Chen left the palace until the city gates were locked, there was a list of people who entered and left the city. Of course, there were no ordinary people on it, but only officials of the second rank and above in the capital, and the families of dukes, marquises, and other families.
Princess Yongjia took it and began to read it, while Li Chaoyun stood by and watched.
When he saw the three words "Shen Zhixiu", Li Chaoyun frowned, "What is Shen Zhixiu doing out of the city?"
Pan Qi replied, "I've checked. The third wife of the Shen family took the two young ladies of the Su family to the manor early in the morning. Elder Shen also went to the manor when he left the city."
Princess Yongjia murmured softly, "What a coincidence?"
She never believes in coincidences, and anything that is too coincidental is worth further investigation.
She looked down again, and when she saw Song Hongshen, she subconsciously stopped, "The King of Loyalty and Bravery is returning to the city? Alone?"
Pan Qi nodded and said, "Yes, the loyal and brave prince was training his troops in the West Mountain Camp. He entered the city in the evening and then went straight back to the loyal and righteous marquis' mansion."
Princess Yongjia looked again and asked, "Did Su Yuanzhou leave the city yesterday?"
Pan Qi shook his head. "No, I followed Her Royal Highness's instructions and specifically checked on Prince Ning. He was in the palace all day and didn't even leave the house."
Princess Yongjia waved her hand, signaling Pan Qi to go down first.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the room, Princess Yongjia asked Li Chaoyun, "What do you think? Could it be related to the Shen family?"
Li Chaoyun pondered for a moment and said, "How many guards can Shen Zhixiu take with him when he leaves the city? They shouldn't be enough to fight against Chen Ping's fifty men."
"This heavy rain is not good. If it hadn't rained, perhaps we could have found some clues."
Princess Yongjia picked up the list and took a look at it again. There were not many people who had any connection with the Li family, and even fewer who had grudges against her and were capable of getting rid of her fifty guards.
She read it over and over again three or four times, and finally her eyes fell on Shen Zhixiu's name.
