Chapter 66: This is not a threatening letter at all; it is clearly a life-saving straw!
The plan of hitting someone in the face of a car accident cannot be carried out.
Jiang Yingcheng stood up from the corner stubbornly, brushed off the dust on his body, and looked around.
[Which sucker should I look for~] Jiang Yingcheng's inner voice was full of cunning.
"!!!"
The ministers who were watching along the way hurriedly turned around, looking at the sky and the ground, but refused to look back.
They were afraid that if they looked at each other, they would be caught and beaten by the little princess.
【ah!】
The ministers who gathered together shuddered unconsciously, and each of them glanced at Jiang Yingcheng's movements.
The little princess moved!
The little princess ran towards them!!
The little princess...ran past them and continued running forward?!
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and turned around at the same time, wanting to witness the birth of a sucker.
"Master Yuan!" Jiang Yingcheng waved as he ran, "It's me, Master Yuan!"
【It’s your favorite Cheng Cheng! 】
Yuan Liangping was not far away from them, so he naturally heard the talk of "looking for a sucker". When he turned around, he felt like crying, as if it was just as he expected.
"Your Highness," Yuan Liangping said in a harsh voice, "What is it that you want to talk to me about?"
There was still a last glimmer of hope in Yuan Liangping's eyes.
Please, say you just wanted to say hello.
"Chengcheng hasn't been to school for two days," Jiang Yingcheng smiled shyly and said awkwardly, "I feel like studying again~"
Yuan Liangping: "..."
The ministers who were eavesdropping not far away: "..."
Do you believe this yourself? !
Jiang Yingcheng naturally didn't believe it either.
As soon as she said this, her cheeks immediately turned red, as if she had applied the peach blossom makeup that is popular these days.
Yuan Liangping didn't know what she meant by this, but he had a hunch that something was wrong so he didn't respond easily. He just said thoughtfully: "I just happened to bring a copy of Hundred Family Names with me. If your Highness needs it, I will..."
He made a timely gesture of rummaging in his sleeves, pretending to look for the copy of "Hundred Family Names" which he did not carry with him.
Jiang Yingcheng stood there with a dazed expression, looking up at Lord Yuan who she had called with empty eyes.
All she could think about was how there could be such bad adults in this world who actually wanted her to keep studying even when she was out playing.
"No, no need," Jiang Yingcheng stuttered, "Chengcheng wants to learn something different today!"
Her toes scratched back and forth on the snow in front of her, and she said in a low voice: "Chengcheng suddenly wants to know how to write some new words. Can Lord Yuan write them for Chengcheng?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Liangping lowered his head and looked at the young man in front of him in silence.
You've seen the dagger, right?
Can't pretend anymore, right?!
He didn't answer, but Jiang Yingcheng didn't want to let go of the big fish that was already in his mouth. He tentatively reached out and grabbed Yuan Liangping's hand, and with just a little force, he pulled him away from the spot.
Yuan Liangping was filled with despair.
What could he do? He couldn't put a sack on Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The two of them asked the maid of the Tan Mansion for paper and pen, and they whispered and gestured in the corner for a long time.
After the birthday banquet, Tan Wenhan personally went to the door to see off the last colleague. When he turned around, he was met with a row of inquiring gazes.
"..." Tan Wenhan sent everyone away and only brought Mrs. Tan and Zhang to the ancestral hall, "Take a look at this."
He pulled out a stack of rather thick rice paper from his sleeve, which the little princess had slipped into his pocket when he wasn't paying attention.
Zhang had many questions in her mind, but she still followed Prime Minister Tan's instructions and slowly opened the stack of letters in front of her.
What came into view were pieces of rice paper cut into small pieces, each with only one word on it, which were then rearranged and pasted onto new paper.
On it, there was a densely packed list of names, and she was familiar with every one of them.
Only on the last one, it says—
"If you don't drive them out of the house within three days, I will make you pay." Zhang said out loud.
The handwriting is elegant, the tone is arrogant, and a strong sense of disharmony comes over you.
This is...
Threatening letter?!
There was no fear in Zhang's eyes, but rather a hint of curiosity.
"Who would be so bold as to threaten the Prime Minister's Mansion?" She casually placed the stack of papers on the table beside her and lowered her head to think about how to start next.
In contrast, she was more concerned about what she heard from the little princess about the theft.
And what the little princess said at the birthday banquet about the spy...
Zhang suddenly raised her head and picked up the stack of letters again.
The little princess mentioned in her heart at the birthday banquet that dozens of spies had been planted in their prime minister's mansion.
She searched through the rows of small characters at a glance, and sure enough, she saw the names of several people that had been mentioned individually by the little princess before!
"This, this is..." Zhang's voice trembled, and her expression was no longer as calm as it was at the beginning.
Tan Wenhan nodded heavily: "The little princess stuffed it in."
Zhang's breathing stagnated.
If this is the case, then it is self-evident what is recorded in this letter.
How could this be a threatening letter? It was clearly a life-saving straw that pulled the entire Tan family out of the predicament of being surrounded by wolves!
"Then, the little princess was in the courtyard before, pretending to be tripped by someone..." She was still confused at the time. Since His Majesty cared so much about the little princess, why did he specifically tell them not to disturb her casually after she fell so many times?
Tan Wenhan nodded slightly, confirming Zhang's guess.
This was indeed a threatening letter, but the one threatening them was not the person who sent the letter!
Zhang's hands holding the letter were shaking uncontrollably.
If the names written in this letter are all spies sent from various places, then what kind of dangerous environment have they lived in these years? !
Fortunately, everyone in the Tan family had no ulterior motives, otherwise, who knows how many times they would have died!
Tan Wenhan looked at his frightened wife, thought for a moment, but still did not tell her the truth about the Zhang Shiliu incident.
The concubine has always been at odds with Zhang, so it is better not to cause trouble for her.
Zhang stood up suddenly and said angrily, "I will drive all these people out of the house right now!"
"No hurry," Tan Wenhan also stood up and interrupted her softly, "My colleagues have given me such a great gift. If I don't respond, it would be impolite of us."
His Majesty once said that corrupt officials cannot hear the little princess's voice, so this group of clean officials has a natural advantage.
Tan Wenhan walked slowly to the bed and looked out at the vast expanse of white snow.
A determined smile appeared on his lips.
The future court will surely be very interesting.
