The crowd still gathered in the street and did not disperse for a long time.

The boy's cries cut through the noise, and seemed to still echo in his ears long after the Queen Mother's carriage had been driving.

Inside the carriage, the Queen Mother silently twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, her face gloomy and filled with suppressed anger.

Princess Rongyang advised: "Mother, there are many people like this. It's not worth it for you to get angry."

The Queen Mother said slowly, "There are many such people, but the impact of today's incident is too bad. We cannot let him ruin the reputation of the royal family in this way."

Princess Rongyang curled her lips and sighed, "The origin of Princess Yan is still inferior to that of other princesses. No wonder she has such terrible relatives..."

The Queen Mother moved her lips but said nothing.

Princess Rongyang rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Mother, Jinlinwei took that person away. Do you want to let my brother know?"

The Queen Mother sneered, "He has chosen a good daughter-in-law, so naturally he has to take good care of her."

Having said this, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and her expression returned to calm.

Princess Rongyang was glad to stop while she was ahead. She picked up the beauty hammer and tapped the empress dowager's legs lightly with a smile on her face.

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and said with a hint of doubt: "Rongyang, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Princess Rongyang was discovered by the Queen Mother for her momentary pride. She secretly thought it was a good thing and said calmly, "It's been a long time since I went to Dafu Temple with my mother to burn incense. I feel happy just thinking about it. Don't let what happened just now affect your mood."

The Queen Mother put away her doubts and nodded slightly: "Yes."

Daifukuji Temple is in the city, and the carriage stopped after traveling for a while.

The palace maid lifted the carriage curtain and helped Princess Rongyang and the Queen Mother out of the carriage one after another.

It was a cold winter day, and the Empress Dowager did not leave the palace early in the morning. Now was the time when the winter sun was at its warmest, casting a faint golden glow on Dafu Temple.

The abbot of Dafu Temple had been waiting there to greet the Empress Dowager.

Princess Rongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, she would burn incense and worship Buddha. She would beg the Buddha to let the bitch who harmed Mingyue be punished as soon as possible.

It will be soon. With my brother's temper, he will definitely not tolerate such a thing.

"Mother, please be careful where you step." Princess Rongyang supported the Queen Mother as she walked towards the main hall.

At this time, Xishi Street was extremely bustling.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon and many shops are about to close. At this time, they are crowded with people buying New Year's goods.

An inconspicuous middle-aged woman walked forward with a basket on her shoulder, passing by various shops that smelled of cosmetics, and walked to the end.

The shop at the end was deserted, completely different from the hustle and bustle elsewhere, and seemed like a different world.

The shop owner was neither impatient nor anxious, and seemed a little mysterious to the other shop managers and employees who had known him for many years.

The customer was an ordinary one, and no one paid attention to him as the surrounding shops were busy. However, two heads popped in at the same time, and then they looked at each other with a look of comparison meaning.

Of these two people, one is Yu Jin's subordinate and the other is Ah Fei.

Ah Fei wiped his face and immediately became energetic.

Everyone who enters the shop must be treated with respect. When doing things for the princess, you must do it in a nice way.

Working for the princess...

Even now, Ah Fei sometimes still feels like he is dreaming.

He was just a small gangster hanging around on the streets, no one would give him a second thought even if he died in a stinky ditch one day, but he was actually the one working for the princess.

The princess is an honest person, he has known this very well since she was Miss Jiang. As long as he works hard, he might be able to become a minor official in the future.

By then, he will have brought honor to his family, and his neighbors will be envious of him to death. No one will spit on him behind his back.

Ah Fei was very energetic and stared at the shop intently.

The other person was not to be outdone.

He is the secret guard under the prince. If he is defeated by a small gangster, he will have no chance to see anyone.

Noticing that the middle-aged woman stayed for a long time, the two of them slowly approached.

Two hours later, Ah Fei appeared in the study in the front yard of Prince Yan's Mansion and reported his discovery to Jiang Si with great excitement.

Yu Jian listened expressionlessly and really wanted to kick Ah Fei out.

It's a pity that A Si still wants to use such a noisy and stupid person.

But it's true, there was no one to help before Asi got married.

"So that means the woman went straight to Dafu Temple after leaving the shop?" Jiang Si asked.

Ah Fei could hardly hide his pride: "I saw that the woman was obviously not young, but her hairstyle was not that of a woman, so I thought it was a little strange, so I followed her quietly. I didn't expect that the woman was going to Dafu Temple..."

It was also because he was the first to notice the abnormality of the woman that he was the one standing in front of the prince and princess to take credit.

As for the secret guard, haha, he is probably squatting in the corner not far from the shop, crying silently.

"I wanted to sneak into the Dafu Temple, but the temple was not accepting pilgrims today, so I had to wait outside. Later, I saw a carriage coming out, and the woman and several servants followed the carriage. I suddenly had an idea and hit the woman with a stone. The woman screamed, and as expected, she heard someone calling her name."

Jiang nodded approvingly: "Very clever, well done. What's the woman's name?"

"Others call her Auntie Duo." Ah Fei said hesitantly, unsure of the pronunciation.

"What happens next?"

Ah Fei's face suddenly turned pale: "After that, I followed the carriage from a distance, and suddenly found that someone was following the carriage and looking at me. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to follow..."

"Okay, you can go down and claim your reward." Yu Jin said calmly.

Ah Fei was very interested. He bowed to Yu Jin and the others and then quietly left.

Suddenly, only the couple were left in the study.

Jiang Si said, "Dafu Temple is a royal temple. Although it also receives ordinary pilgrims on weekdays, it will close the door to welcome nobles. The person sitting in the carriage that Ah Fei encountered today is probably not a simple person..."

"That's easy. I'll ask someone."

Although the Queen Mother did not reveal her identity when she went to Dafu Temple to burn incense in order to avoid mobilizing troops, she did not deliberately hide it either.

Yu Jin quickly got the news and said to Jiang Si with a subtle look, "I found out."

"Who is it?"

"The Queen Mother."

Jiang Si was slightly stunned, but not very surprised.

Yu Jin identified four suspicious people from the list compiled by Pan Hai. All four of them were from Cining Palace.

"That middle-aged woman is qualified to travel with the Queen Mother in a small entourage, which shows that she has gained the Queen Mother's trust."

Yu Jin spread out a sheet of paper filled with names and pointed at one of them. "That should be her. The list says her name is A Duo. She was 20 years old when she first entered the palace. She went straight to Ci Ning Palace to work as a servant and stayed there for 15 years. What we need to do now is to confirm it further."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Although the method of sitting back and waiting is stupid, it seems to be working well."

Having said that, I would like to add: "It's also because Ah Fei is smart."

Yu Jin rolled his eyes.
