Fucha Yuxiu thought about it and agreed. After a moment's consideration, she slowly spoke under the watchful eyes of Heyue and Yanyue: "You'd better not have too much contact with Princess Duoluo. She's the granddaughter of Prince An, and she's been aloof and doesn't like to socialize. I was also surprised that she helped you that time. The Empress Dowager favors her, and her aunt is Consort Yi in the palace. She's a very popular figure in the palace, and no one dares to offend her. I heard that once a palace maid offended her and was whipped in public, but even the Emperor didn't pursue the matter. Everyone in the palace keeps their distance from her."
Speaking of this matter, Fucha Yuxiu could not hide the disgust in her eyes, which showed that she did not like this Princess Duoluo.
He Yue tilted her head, thinking about the Guo Luoluo clan she had met that day, and indeed, it did match what Fucha Yuxiu had said to some extent.
However, in my memory, although my sister was proud and arrogant, she was also a very gentle person and would never be so domineering.
He Yue was puzzled. Could it be that she had really made a mistake?
"I heard that Princess Dorogge has been betrothed to the Eighth Prince since childhood, and they will get married next spring."
These words brought back He Yue's spirits. Next spring?
"Has anything strange happened to her over the years?"
As soon as He Yue said this, both of them looked over with strange expressions.
"Uh, I was just curious." Realizing that her question was too abrupt and rather strange, He Yue touched her nose and smiled awkwardly.
Fucha Yuxiu didn't say anything, but Yan Yue said irritably, "I think you've been reading too many supernatural novels. What strange things? It's utter nonsense."
“It’s not strange at all,” Fucha Yuxiu said, suppressing a laugh. “But Princess Duoluo has been extremely intelligent since childhood and learned to read early, which is why she has won the favor of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.”
He nodded in understanding, and the possibility seemed greater, his eyes shining even brighter.
Fucha Yuxiu returned to the Fucha residence, while Heyue and her sixth sister returned to the Vice Minister's residence.
He Yue thought to himself that he was never an indecisive person, and since he had suspicions, he should investigate thoroughly.
Back in the courtyard, he saw Yidu standing under the pomegranate tree, waiting for him. He was overjoyed and quickly invited Yidu to his room, then sent away the two maids.
After all, they were still young, and Yiduli was one of their own, so they had no reservations and quietly withdrew.
"Cousin, have you gone to see Sixth Sister?" Heyue asked impatiently as soon as she sat down.
Itori nearly choked on his saliva, coughed, and turned his face away with a slightly uncomfortable expression.
Heyue didn't mean anything by it, but it was just that Sixth Sister had been harboring deep resentment towards Yiduli these days, because Yiduli rarely took Sixth Sister out to play, and Mother was worried about Sixth Sister going out alone.
Therefore, Heyue was only doing this for Sixth Sister.
Seeing his outburst, He Yue couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Yi Duli explained in a barely audible voice, "My aunt said I shouldn't go to see my sixth sister, and that she should stay in the manor in peace."
Heyue stared in astonishment, never dreaming that it was her mother who was behind it. She then chuckled to herself, thinking how cunning her mother was, making Yiduli take the blame.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for Yi Duli; I wonder how much Sixth Sister had resented him.
Thinking this to herself, she knew that Yi Duli's visit this time was probably because the matter she had asked him to do last time had come to a conclusion, and He Yue was filled with excitement.
However, the fact that Yi Duli has arrived probably cannot be kept from Sixth Sister, and Sixth Sister will likely come to kill him soon.
Ultimately, she was still focused on the important matter at hand, so He Yue stopped talking and kept urging, "Is there any result yet?"
As for this matter, let's wait until Sixth Sister arrives before discussing it further; we'll have to face it sooner or later anyway.
He Yue thought to herself, not without a hint of mischief.
When it came to business, Iduli was no longer embarrassed and told Heyue everything he had found out over the past few days.
There is no place called Xiangyi in or near the capital, but there are two called Xiangyi and one called Xiangyi.
Itori also brought over portraits of several people.
He Yue opened the scroll and looked at the three people in front of her. She couldn't recognize them from their features, but since her sister had changed bodies, she probably didn't look the same as before.
"Cousin, could you take me to meet them another day?" Heyue asked, overjoyed.
Ito looked troubled and pursed his lips.
Heyue noticed something was wrong and asked nervously, "Is there a problem?"
Could there be some other inside story?
"Can't Seventh Sister recognize the person she's looking for from the portrait?"
Meeting his puzzled gaze, Heyue's face stiffened. She realized she had forgotten about this. Yiduli seemed honest on the surface, but he was actually quite shrewd. She had been careless and he had noticed something was wrong.
In an instant, He Yue had already thought of an explanation: "I saw her when I was very young, but after so long I can't remember what she looked like very clearly. I only remember her name. After all, their names are only similar to those in my memory, and I'm not sure if she is the person I'm looking for."
Iduli frowned: "How young was she? Seventh Sister's memory is truly amazing."
Heyue coughed and lied without batting an eye: "I'm precocious. My sixth sister said I could write poetry when I was five."
Seeing that proud little face, Yi Duli twitched the corner of his mouth, but couldn't help but smile, shaking his head helplessly.
Heyue brought up the matter again, suggesting that she go and meet those people.
Under her intense gaze, Itoli blushed, though it wasn't very noticeable because of his slightly dark complexion. He avoided eye contact and remained silent.
After a long while, as if finally unable to bear it any longer, she stammered, "There is one of them named Xiangyi... Seventh Sister, it's best not to see her."
"Why?" He Yue was full of questions, staring intently at his embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but have a guess in her mind.
