Without Jiaming giving him a signal, Xiao Hezi went out and brought back two of his trusted eunuchs.
Both of them had been instructed by Xiao Hezi beforehand. After exchanging greetings with Jiaming and Gao Wuyong, they picked up their packed bags and followed Gao Wuyong out as he took his leave.
After Gao Wuyong left, Xiao Hezi immediately went up to Jiaming and started talking to her.
But instead of starting to talk about what he had found out about the palace, he talked for a while about the affairs of the Peach Blossom Courtyard.
Jiaming understood what he meant. She agreed and gestured to Green Willow beside her to go outside and keep watch.
Because of her special abilities, she can sense whether there is anyone at the door.
However, it wasn't foolproof. There were instances where the Fourth Prince had arrived unexpectedly without her noticing, which made her even more cautious.
After seeing Green Willow's signal that it was okay, he turned to Little Hezi and said, "Alright, tell me, what did you find out?"
Mentioning this, Xiao Hezi became very interested: "Master, do you know that this time I have discovered something incredible!"
"Oh?" Jiaming raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest rising in her eyes. "What is it?"
Instead of saying what it was about, Xiao Hezi asked a question, "Master, do you think a person's luck can really be that good?"
This question immediately stirred up Jiaming's distant memories, and as she recalled them, she sighed, "What good luck! Speaking of which, I believe that some people are truly incredibly lucky."
I still remember a similarly lucky person in my previous life's apocalypse. The protagonist was a woman who awakened a rare dual superpower during the apocalypse: a rare healing superpower and a powerful, highly aggressive ice superpower.
She can protect herself, which is already impressive, but it's said that she not only has many followers, but also male protagonists and supporting male characters who would live and die for her. So even if someone covets her superpowers, they all fail. Moreover, no matter what kind of hardship she experiences, she always overcomes it and benefits from it...
Xiao Hezi was also lost in thought and didn't notice his master's unusual behavior.
By the time he came to his senses, Jiaming had also emerged from her reverie.
She's doing well now. She has food and clothing, care from Jiaheng and Erlin, and her son Hongxuan. Although he seems to prefer Fourth Master, he loves her quite a bit too. Fourth Master is also very good to her, much better than most people in the apocalypse... There are no zombies, no life-or-death moments... So, she doesn't need to recall the painful past. She can only look forward to live a better life.
By the way, Xiao He just said someone has incredibly good luck. Who is this person? Could it be...?
Just as she was guessing, she heard Xiao Hezi's voice, and Jiaming couldn't help but think that it was indeed her.
"For some reason, the princess from the Niohuru Lingzhu family, a fourth-rank official, is always being targeted. This servant had someone investigate, and it turns out that Consort Li is targeting her. As for the other consorts, they are too secretive, and we haven't found anything yet. And this princess's luck is truly, well, amazing."
A woman who could give birth to the Qianlong Emperor was certainly not unlucky, but she was interested in how things were developing, so she asked, "What happened?"
Before Xiao Hezi could answer, Jiaming noticed the strange expression on his face.
"The rouge and powder of that Niohuru clan member were drugged, but the person who was poisoned was the one who lived with her in the same room. Because the person who lived with her liked her rouge and powder, he used it first. Once this was exposed, the drugged rouge and powder would not dare to be used anymore, so she went into hiding."
Jiaming blinked and asked, "Anything else?"
After all, wasn't it just said that she was extremely lucky, or rather, incredibly lucky? Dodging it only once doesn't count as incredible luck; it would take at least several times!
Xiao Hezi continued, "That Princess Niohuru's shoes were tampered with, but..."
Seeing Xiao Hezi's conflicted yet amused expression, Jiaming felt a tickle in her heart and quickly asked, "But what?"
"When that princess wore it, there were no problems at all. It's said that the person who did it didn't believe in superstitions and checked it. They did find that it had been tampered with, but for some reason, she was fine wearing it." At this point, Xiao Hezi stopped worrying and couldn't help but laugh so hard that his body shook.
When Jiaming saw his expression, she knew there was more to come, and it would be extremely funny.
"Oh my, what's so funny? Tell me quickly, so your master can have a laugh too."
Xiao Hezi suppressed a laugh and said, "Then, the person who did it, not believing in the superstition, tried it on, and then fell flat on his face, bleeding from his nose for a long time!"
"Pfft!" Everyone inside burst into laughter, and Green Willow, who was guarding the door and eavesdropping, also laughed out loud.
Having finally caught her breath, Jiaming thought that things weren't over yet, and there might still be some fun to be had, so she immediately told Xiao Hezi to continue.
She looked at him expectantly, and Xiao Hezi immediately understood, so he explained beforehand, "Nothing as funny as it was just now will happen next."
Before Jiaming could say anything, Hongtao reacted quickly, saying with a disappointed look, "There aren't any left!"
"Yes, that's all," Xiao Hezi nodded.
Although Jiaming was also somewhat disappointed, she didn't listen to Xiao Hezi's investigation results just to have some fun; she had other purposes.
So he quickly suppressed his disappointment and let Xiao Hezi continue.
"It seems that Consort Li had someone do something to that princess's clothes, not to damage them, but to deliberately perfume them."
Upon hearing that Madam Li had also made a move, Jiaming became even more focused. "Then, how did that Niohuru manage to evade it?"
"Speaking of this, I have to say that princess's luck is truly exceptional, um, incredibly powerful." After a moment of admiration, Xiao Hezi continued before Jiaming could complain that he was being long-winded and dawdling.
