Both the father and son of the Song family were loyal to the emperor.
Ning Wanyin pondered for a moment, "Song Chengyi probably hasn't seen him. He is using Song Chengyi to deal with the Shi family."
"It seems that he was also responsible for the Xue and Cen families' affairs."
At this moment, the harp came to report:
"Prince Yihe sent a message in, saying that he has three gifts for the master. I wonder if the master is satisfied? He can arrange for any family to send a daughter to the palace if the master doesn't want."
"Prince Yihe said that he has something important to tell the master and Lady Tang. Please send someone to tell them."
Ning Wanyin's eyes flickered, "You will leave the palace tomorrow."
"Yes." Peng Qin accepted the order and left.
Peng Hua was very shocked. "He really arranged all this? Where did he get such great ability? Does he have a very powerful intelligence organization?"
"It's not that easy. It's difficult for outsiders to get someone into our Earl's Mansion. This noble family is naturally very strict. Even if we send a spy in, ordinary servants will not be able to know these secrets. Those who handle this must be the family's trusted confidants. It's not easy for them to betray their master. How much money, how many people, and how many years of advance planning does he need to have to get such accurate intelligence?" Lian Rui shook her head.
Over the years, she has often collected information for her master.
Naturally, I know how difficult it is to obtain such accurate information.
"Sister Lianrui is right. So where did he get this information?" Penghua nodded in agreement, becoming even more curious.
Ning Wanyin pondered for a moment and asked, "Has he met anyone from these families recently?
"No." Pengqi confirmed, "The spies are keeping a close eye on him. Prince Yihe has been following his usual routine these days, without any changes. I haven't seen any...wait..."
Pengqi suddenly remembered and looked at Ning Wanyin in shock, "Master, he attended a plum blossom viewing banquet a few days ago. The sons and daughters of the noble families were all present... If this counts as a meeting, it can be considered a face-to-face encounter. But he has no friendship with these families, so no one would tell him such secret information, right?"
Ning Wanyin was thinking over all the information she had learned so far.
It certainly doesn't seem like Prince Yihe has any connections in the court.
He had only seen the sons and daughters of these families...
She suddenly had a bold guess.
…
The next day, Pengqin left the palace on the pretext of going shopping.
Meeting in a private courtyard of Prince Yihe.
"Your master, does he have anything for you to convey to me?" Prince Yihe looked at the zither.
Ning Wanyin asked him to deal with the Shi family. He watched the situation in the palace change and the legitimate daughters of the Cen and Xue families died one after another.
So they dealt with the Xue and Cen families together.
The affairs of a few playboys are of no concern to the major families, but it can prevent them from offering women to the palace temporarily, which is of great benefit to Ning Wanyin.
Ning Wanyin would definitely be shocked by his intelligence and would try her best to win him over.
"No." Pengqin was a little confused. What could my master tell you?
Prince Yihe choked. Ning Wanyin was really...
Don't release the eagle until you see the rabbit.
"I have learned an important piece of news. The Cen family plans to kill Marquis Changping on his way back home from Beijing!" Prince Yihe said in a deep voice.
Pengqin was very surprised, "Do you really take what the prince said?"
Prince Yihe nodded slightly, "This is absolutely true, please ask Marquis Changping to respond as soon as possible."
"Then how did you know?" Pengqin was even more surprised.
Prince Yihe pretended to be profound, "This prince has someone in the Cen family."
Holding the Qin: ???
Is this information that can be found out by placing a few people?
You have to be Duke Cen’s biological son for him to tell you something like this, right?
Prince Yihe finished speaking, and said affectionately:
"Everything I have done is for Lady Tang. If I had the military power, I would have personally escorted Marquis Changping back to the northwest!"
"Although my people can't help much, they can still be used to gather information. For the beauty, I am willing to go through fire and water for her."
"Last time, the beauty wrote a love poem to me. I didn't expect to receive such deep affection from her. I have also written a love poem these past two days. Please pass it on to me..."
Pengqin, following the cautious nature of her master, reminded:
"To prevent the handwriting from leaving traces and being used as evidence in the future. Please just dictate it, Your Majesty."
Prince Yihe nodded, "You are very thoughtful--"
…
He returned to the palace with the harp and immediately delivered the message:
"Master, I don't know whether what he said is true or false. I tried to ask him how he got the information, but he was wary of it and kept silent."
Tang Miaoling was already confused and looked at Ning Wanyin worriedly, "Is he talking nonsense? Is this true?"
"No matter whether it is suspicious or not, we should treat it as a real thing first. Immediately send someone to send a message to Marquis Changping, reminding him to be on guard." Ning Wanyin made the arrangements calmly.
Moreover, if the "connections" she guessed were correct, then the news was very likely to be true.
"Yes." Holding the zither, he accepted the order.
Ning Wanyin reminded, "It's not just that. Since the Cen family wants to get rid of Changping Hou, it means that the person who succeeds Changping Hou after his death is beneficial to the Cen family. There is a traitor in the Tang family, and this matter has also been passed on to Changping Hou."
Holding the zither, he took the order and left.
Tang Miaoling was at a loss, and looked at Ning Wanyin with tearful eyes, "Cousin, my father..."
"If we take precautions in advance, we should be able to protect ourselves." Ning Wanyin said seriously.
Tang Miaoling was confused. "You just said that there is a problem with the successor... But my eldest brother is my father's biological son! He has always been a good person... Could it be that..."
