“These are not the silver notes that I gave to the Third Prince.” Ji Fengyao held the silver notes in her hand, flicked them, and handed them to Lin Shuang: “These are silver notes that others gave you for free. You can take them and divide them up to buy snacks.”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Miss, you're so kind!"
The three maids were happily dividing the silver, unaware that outside the door, Granny Cui was watching them with envy and resentment.
Ji Fengyao glanced at the door without making a sound, but ignored it for the time being.
After the Dowager Consort used torture on her last time, she guessed that there was an informant within the Hui Nuan Pavilion. Otherwise, the Dowager Consort wouldn't have known about any disturbance in the Hui Nuan Pavilion so quickly.
The person who knows her whereabouts must be someone close to her; but she cannot conclude that the mole is Cui Mama just because she can tell that Cui Mama loves money.
However, more and more secrets will emerge in Hui Nuan Pavilion in the future, so it's best to find out this traitor as soon as possible.
"The three of you will come to the palace with me tomorrow," Ji Fengyao suddenly said.
"Huh? Miss, you knew it was a trap, why did you still jump in? Being caught having an affair with a man is no joke," Xique said, puzzled.
“Since it wasn’t the Third Prince who sent the silver notes and letter, it certainly wasn’t the Third Prince who went to the Cold Palace. Why would I go to the Cold Palace? I’ll go directly to the Third Prince’s residence and warn him to be careful lately,” Ji Fengyao said logically and with evidence.
"But, Your Highness, you should inform His Highness the Third Prince and send someone to deliver a message." Even though Lin Shuang was intelligent, she didn't react immediately.
Ji Fengyao smiled shyly, a hint of tenderness mixed into her boldness: "It's been quite a few days since I've seen him..."
Xique: "???"
Bai Lu: "??"
Lin Shuang was silent for a moment, then quietly squeezed Xi Que's hand: "Since the princess is going, let's not make a fuss. We'll go quietly after entering the palace tomorrow."
After saying that, he assigned the tasks and gave instructions: "Just like before, Miss Xique, you and I will go with the Princess, and Bailu, you will meet us outside."
The magpie looked bewildered: "Oh..."
Why would Lin Shuang approve of the young lady's secret rendezvous? Is it because her loyalty to the young lady is not as great as Lin Shuang's?
Bai Lu: "...?"
Ji Fengyao glanced at Lin Shuang with admiration: This girl is indeed someone who can escape unscathed after failing in palace intrigue. She is smart and quick to understand.
The night deepened.
The people in Hui Nuan Pavilion took their rest in turn.
Under the cover of night, a figure quietly slipped out of Hui Nuan Pavilion and tiptoed toward Ning Xi Hall.
Ji Fengyao crouched in the shadows on the rooftop, where Wu Zhong was hiding, and silently watched the man walk away.
Wu Zhong: "..."
There's a sense of crisis about facing unemployment.
Since the princess herself can go up to the roof, it feels like the four secret guards are no longer necessary.
"Your Highness, should we arrest her?" Driven by a sense of crisis, Wu Zhong volunteered.
"No need, you are people who do great things. These little people are none of your business." Ji Fengyao patted Wu Zhong's shoulder amicably, then lightly stepped down from the courtyard and returned to his room.
Wu Zhong was moved to tears:
The princess was already offering polite and business-like words of comfort; were their days as bodyguards really going to be short?
It seems he needs to remind his brothers to make their presence felt in front of the princess more often, or they might be abandoned one day.
Looking at the little bandit's increasingly skillful movements, Shang Xiye was both pleased and amazed: "It seems that the princess's skills have fully recovered, very good."
Ji Fengyao: "Hehe..."
He secretly wiped away his sweat!
Master, if you still had your memories, you would be furious if you saw my current strength.
