Chapter 585: Fallen into the Trap



After leaving Prince Chen's Mansion, the woman stood on the long street, sighing one after another, as if she was very confused and didn't know where to go.

Seeing her standing dejectedly on the long street for a long time, and then walking towards a small alley, Qingdie immediately followed.

Afterwards, the woman came to a dilapidated house where there was a beggar resting. When he saw the woman coming, he immediately went forward to beg.

The woman looked embarrassed and said, "I have no money and I have nowhere to go..."

The beggar, who had been trying to please others, immediately turned disgusted when he heard this: "Then why are you going to pawn this silk and satin?"

The woman looked at the beggar in surprise, then lowered her eyes to look at herself. Indeed...

I don't have any money on me. If I want to survive and not starve to death, I have to either beg or sell my clothes.

“Thanks for the reminder!”

She left the shabby house, but on the street, as night fell, many doors were closed, and naturally the pawnshop also closed early.

The woman huddled outside the door helplessly, thinking of waiting outside the pawnshop all night...

When Qingdie saw this, she turned around and left. She returned to Prince Chen's Mansion and reported everything she had seen to Ni Yueshan.

"She's truly a homeless, pathetic woman. How about this? Send her to the Prime Minister's residence. Don't tell her that she's the woman my father found. Give her a job!"

Qingdie understood and walked out, but then she paused and said hesitantly, "But this woman is plotting to murder our children. She has a vicious heart..."

"Her gentle nature doesn't seem like she'd planned to murder my offspring. Furthermore, she didn't even try to cover up for herself in front of me, but spoke directly. This shows she doesn't want to lie! She might have been framed. If we find any clues, we can clear her name!"

Qingdie looked at Ni Yueshan, her eyes gradually changing: "Princess, why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Ni Yueshan raised the corner of her mouth slightly and responded, "I didn't. If she had developed feelings for my father after spending so much time with him in the Prime Minister's Residence, then she would be my stepmother. How could I be meddling in other people's business? I'm doing something for my stepmother."

In the end, Qingdie went to do her job obediently. Ni Yueshan solved Ni Gaofei's problem and was in a very good mood. When the woman heard that she was going to the prime minister's residence to do an errand and not to become a lady in the mansion, she no longer felt uncomfortable and followed Qingdie obediently.

Ni Gaofei was still nervous about the outcome of Ni Yueshan's selection of a wife for him, but when he learned that the woman sent to him was just a servant in the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief. But then he felt a strange sense of nervousness. He really was getting more and more hopeless as he got older...

After two days of peace, the matchmaker could no longer bear it and came to find Ni Yueshan to ask who had been chosen.

Ni Yueshan didn't think of hiding anything and responded, "I don't have anyone I like at the moment, but I won't let you work in vain."

Ni Yueshan looked to her side, and Qingdie immediately stepped forward and took out a purse filled with money. The matchmaker took it, weighed it, and felt that it was not light, and must be a lot of silver.

She immediately smiled, thanked me profusely, and left.

Ni Yueshan picked up the tea beside her and was about to take a sip when a servant came hurriedly and reported: "Princess Chen, there is a letter for you!"

During this period, Ni Yueshan received two letters from Jing Yuchen every day, so when she heard about the letter, she was not excited. She was only slightly excited when she held it in her hand.

Because it wasn't a letter from Jing Yuchen, it was sent back by Shao Lecheng...

She quickly opened the letter, and Shao Lecheng replied with only a few scribbled words: "Something happened."

I didn’t say exactly what it was, probably because I didn’t have the time to write more.

The emperor really used Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong to achieve his goal and attacked his own son and daughter-in-law. Ni Yueshan was extremely disappointed with the emperor.

She frowned and really wanted to help.

"Princess, bad news?"

Ni Yueshan glanced at Qingdie and said, "They may have encountered an accident in Tufan, but this incident was not initiated by the King of Tufan, but by the Emperor of our dynasty!"

Qingdie looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise. Ni Yueshan felt a headache. The people around Duan Gouqiong and Shao Lecheng were all the emperor's men. They might have received secret orders long ago and acted according to the emperor's orders. Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong might not even give them a chance to respond flexibly.

"Qingfeng!"

Ni Yueshan called out, and Qingfeng quickly appeared in front of her. Ni Yueshan said, "I don't know what kind of trouble Gou Qiong and the others have run into, but it should be difficult to resolve. Go and help. Regardless of whether this involves disobeying the Emperor's orders, you must get them both away safely, out of the control of the Xianchang team! I'll mobilize some people now, and they'll set off with you!"

Qingfeng understood, and without asking any more questions, he hurried out of the house and rode away.

Although Qingdie also wanted to go, Ni Yueshan still needed her to stay by his side, so she had to stay in the mansion.

Ni Yueshan wrote another letter and sent it to Jing Yuchen, hoping that Jing Yuchen could give some help...

The letter was written in a hurry, so the handwriting was naturally a little sloppy. Ni Yueshan asked for it to be delivered expedited. I believe that if it is delivered day and night, it will be delivered to Jing Yuchen tomorrow.

When Jing Yuchen received the letter, he was a little surprised, because this was the second letter of the day. Ni Yueshan took "restraint" to the extreme and deliberately asked him to write two letters every day without interruption, and she would reply to the previous letter every time.

So it was a surprise that I received two letters in one day.

After opening it, a glance at the sloppy handwriting showed that Ni Yueshan was restless and anxious.

"Gou Qiong and the other two are in trouble! Your father wants to use them to trick Cang Lie into sending troops to attack Tufan together. If war breaks out, your supervision of the canal construction will be meaningless!"
