Emperor Jingming has been in a good mood recently. After all, the New Year has not yet ended, and keeping a happy mood is the duty of a good emperor.

More importantly, since the prince moved into the East Palace, everything has been going smoothly without any problems.

As for listening to the attendants sighing at the rapid progress of the prince in his studies, it was a feeling of emotion that he had not experienced in many years.

Pan Hai stepped forward and reported that Han Ran, the commander of the Jinlin Guard, wanted to see him.

Emperor Jingming's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he uttered a few words through his teeth: "Let him in."

The Lantern Festival hasn't even passed yet. If Han ruins his mood over a small matter, he will definitely not forgive him!

After venting his anger, Emperor Jingming changed his mind.

It's better to have a small thing, big things are bad.

Han Ran walked in quickly and paid his respects to Emperor Jingming.

Emperor Jingming knocked on the dragon table and said, "Speak now!"

Han Ran paused, lowered his head and said: "Reporting to the emperor, I found the Princess of Northern Qi in a Xianglu shop on Xishi Street."

Emperor Jingming almost thought he had heard wrongly: "What did you say? Princess Beiqi?"

Princess Beiqi appeared in a perfume shop on Xishi Street?

"The Princess of Northern Qi came to the Great Zhou in fancy dress to buy perfume?"

Han Ran quickly glanced at Emperor Jingming, lowered his eyes and said, "Princess Beiqi is the owner of that Xianglu shop."

Emperor Jingming was confused and drank a sip of tea to calm himself down: "What on earth is going on?"

Han Ran told the official of the Honglu Temple about Lu Chuchu's identity: "I have already checked and found that the Princess of Northern Qi has been working in that Xianglu shop for two years."

Emperor Jingming's expression changed slightly, and he murmured, "Could it be that Northern Qi is making some moves——"

Han Ran quickly said: "Xianglupu belongs to the Crown Princess."

Emperor Jingming almost spilled the tea in his hand.

"Does the Crown Princess know the identity of the Princess of Northern Qi?"

Han Ran looked embarrassed: "I haven't had the opportunity to ask the Crown Princess yet."

Emperor Jingming stood up and sat down again, thinking of a serious question: "So the news that the Xianglu Shop's partner is the Princess of Northern Qi has spread?"

Han Ran lowered his eyes and said, "Not only that, someone also called out the relationship between Xianglupu and the Crown Princess."

Emperor Jingming's eyes flickered slightly.

It was not a coincidence that an official from the Honglu Temple accidentally recognized the Princess of Northern Qi, but was there something fishy about them daring to involve the Crown Princess in public?

If it weren't for the previous troubles, Emperor Jingming would have been furious, angry that the prince and his wife had to eat and open the fragrant dew shop, but now his first reaction was suspicion.

Is this a coincidence, or is he plotting against the prince again?

"Pan Hai, call the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

Pan Hai took the order and left.

At this time, Yu Jin had finished reading and returned to the bedroom. He was chatting with Jiang Sixian when he heard that Emperor Jingming had summoned him. He said to Xiao Lezi, who came to deliver the imperial edict, "Eunuch Le, I will change my clothes later."

This little convenience will not be denied to you, just wait patiently in the hall.

Yu Jin changed her clothes and said to Jiang Si in a low voice, "Father called us at the same time. I think the old witch is making trouble again."

Jiang Si chuckled: "Aren't we just waiting for her to make a move?"

Yu Jin frowned slightly: "We have been staying in the palace obediently. The most likely place for her to make a move is your perfume shop."

On his way to the south to save Jiang Zhan, Jiang Si met two Northern Qi men. He learned that they came to Da Zhou to look for the princess, so he scared them. When they left, Chen Guang left someone to follow them secretly.

He followed them back to the capital and saw them wandering around everywhere with his own eyes. In the end, they were stopped by Lu Shengxiang.

Miss Chuchu, the second innkeeper of Lu Shengxiang, is actually Princess Qiluo of Northern Qi!

At that moment, one can imagine the impact that Chen Guang's men suffered.

The two subordinates hurriedly reported this shocking news to Chen Guang, who then quickly reported it to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin discussed with Jiang Si and decided to keep the troops in place.

Lu Chuchu has always been very well behaved in Lu Shengxiang, and it can be seen that she really enjoys such days. She may have her own difficulties in abandoning her status as the Princess of Northern Qi and coming to the Great Zhou.

To Jiang Si, Lu Chuchu was a friend. It was cruel to avoid her just because she was from Northern Qi.

Of course, given Lu Chuchu's special identity, it is inevitable that someone will be sent to keep a close eye on her from now on, which can also be considered as keeping the hidden dangers under control.

"Isn't this to be expected? Why are you frowning?"

Yu Jin reached out and stroked her ginger hair, saying helplessly, "I kind of regret dragging you into this."

Jiang Sibai gave him a look and said, "Don't say such nonsense. We are husband and wife. Do you think you should shoulder all the problems by yourself while I have a more suitable opportunity and I just sit back and enjoy the success?"

Yu Jin quickly lowered his head: "The Crown Princess is right."

They changed their clothes and went out.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Eunuch Le."

Xiao Lezi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please excuse me, I will go with you."

Seeing Yu Jin and the other two coming in, Emperor Jingming twitched his lips and said unhappily, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

"My son (daughter-in-law) doesn't know, please let me know."

Emperor Jingming glanced at the two of them and thought that Xianglu Shop was bought by the seventh brother as a gift for his wife. In fact, it was the seventh brother who caused the trouble, and the seventh brother's wife was purely innocent. So he went straight to Yu Jin in anger and scolded him before letting him go.

From beginning to end, Jiang Si was not even scolded.

After being scolded, Yu Jian returned to the East Palace and sighed, "I really suspect that I was blown here by the wind, and you are my biological child."

Jiang seemed too lazy to argue with him and sighed, "It's a pity that the dew fragrance can't bloom again."

Yu Jin glanced in the direction of Yu's study and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, we will reopen."

"Well, let's solve the current problem first."

Speaking of the present, Yu Jin sneered, "The Queen Mother has lost many men and has broken up with Wu Miao. She is in a panic. Lord Zhen will investigate the official from the Honglu Temple. The person hiding in the crowd and trying to get close to you has also been spotted by our people. We will soon know whether he can be brought out of the mud."

Jiang Si nodded slightly.

It is inconvenient for the Queen Mother to leave the palace, and there is probably a group of people outside the palace who are specifically responsible for making up rumors for her in order to achieve certain goals.

If we identify these people, we might be able to find something to hold against the Queen Mother.

This speculation was proposed by Jiang Si.

She has always had doubts about the dethronement of the crown prince.

In her previous life, she knew that the deposed prince had an affair with Concubine Yang because this rumor suddenly spread among the people and soon became known to everyone. The deposed prince was most likely driven by this pressure to take the risk of rebellion, which led to his second death.

In this life, the matter of deposing the crown prince has not been revealed.

Jiang Si suspected that it was because she and Yu Jin stepped into the vortex of the struggle for imperial power ahead of time, causing the deposed prince to suffer repeated setbacks, which caused the person hiding behind the scenes who was plotting to depose the prince to change his choice.

Now we can be sure that the person behind this is the Queen Mother.

Among the people, it is very likely that the Queen Mother has a group of people who are specifically responsible for spreading rumors.

"I'm sorry to have to inconvenience you for a while." Yu Jian sighed.

Jiang Si raised his lips and smiled: "No problem."

As the two had expected, rumors soon emerged in the capital that the Crown Princess was colluding with Northern Qi spies, and later people began to mention that the Crown Princess had once broken off the engagement.
