When the Sixth Princess and Hu Qianyue were talking just now, they happened to be under the window. Although there was nothing unusual, the Sixth Princess was in a hurry to return to the palace at this time and had no time to answer these small details. However, this does not mean that others did not expect that if the Sixth Princess would really If you have a private meeting with someone.
Mo Xuetong felt that it was You Yuecheng.
With You Yuecheng's temperament, no matter what the situation, he would never put himself in danger or any dishonorable situation, just like what happened to the Duke of Ming Dynasty that day, whether it was the beginning or what happened to the six princesses later. It was revealed that he had nothing to do with it. All he did was drink too much and go back to the house to lie down for a while.
As for who designed him to be in the same room with the Sixth Princess, or whether the Sixth Princess committed suicide, it has nothing to do with him. He just happened to meet him at the right time. Just like himself and the other ladies of the country, they were not just designed by others. He was just an eyewitness, and the Sixth Princess's matter had nothing to do with him.
Of course Mo Xuetong didn't believe You Yuecheng was so innocent.
When he saw the palace maid guarding the carriage, Mo Xuetong already knew that the person Ling Mingyan met face to face last time when she went to Xiangmanlou was not the Sixth Princess. Later, You Yuecheng did not hesitate to ruin her reputation and appeared with a brothel girl. At the door of the box on the second floor, Mo Xuetong felt suspicious at that time.
Even if You Yuecheng had something behind his back, it would be impossible for him to behave like this in person. Such behavior was more like concealing something. The ornaments on the woman's head that were not found in the palace, Mo Ye's speculation after tracking, and The palace maid that the Duke of Ming Dynasty saw was originally a big palace lady, but she acted like a small palace lady, but you could tell by looking at the other people around her who were trembling in front of her.
A close-fitting maid was left outside. Of course, the purpose was to prevent others from seeing her. That maid must have had a photo with Ling Mingyan that day. If she appeared in the Duke of Ming Dynasty, she might be recognized by Ling Mingyan. Although Ling Mingyan always gave people the impression that she was not shrewd and might not be recognized, the Sixth Princess was cautious and would not take such a risk.
From this, we can see that there has always been a connection between the Sixth Princess and You Yuecheng!
It is clear that what happened to Duke Ming was planned by the Sixth Princess. There may be some tricks of Duke Ming and Lady Ming. After all, apart from Ling Mingyan, only Lady Ming is the biggest among the people in the inner courtyard. She wanted to use a maid to control her. There was no difficulty in doing something to hold Mo Xuetong back.
As for the later death of the steward, it was just to cut off the clues. Some high-ranking people do this kind of thing without any hesitation, which is better than involving themselves.
Various signs indicate that You Yuecheng is the one who is most likely to be involved with the Sixth Princess. The last time the incident failed, if one plan failed and another plan failed, it was most likely that the two of them would sit together and figure out what to do next.
If there was really You Yuecheng here, he would have noticed the window where the Sixth Princess was standing when she was talking to Hu Qianyue.
Next door to the jade shop and upstairs is a teahouse. There are small private rooms near the window. The shopkeeper of the jade shop and the shopkeeper of the teahouse are located one above the other, one on the left and one on the right. Naturally, they have a good relationship. There is also a small corridor behind. The door was small, making it easy to get in and out. When the jade shopkeeper came up and said it, the teahouse shopkeeper immediately made a private seat for Mo Xuetong, and Mo Xuetong took Mo Lan and others into the box.
After sitting down, Mo Ye said to Mo Xuetong from the window: "Princess, you are really here."
Looking down from this position, you can see the entrance of the jade shop below. A group of soldiers holding the same style of weapons rushed into the door of the jade shop. Immediately some customers inside the door who were still choosing were scared to death. The dog jumped and a large group of people ran out and left in shock.

"Are they from the Imperial Guard?" Mo Xuetong's watery eyes slightly raised, he turned his head and thought for a moment and asked slowly, You Yuecheng is the commander of the Imperial Guard, and he is in charge of the Imperial Guard. He mobilized a few people to investigate. What was happening was normal. It came really fast. If I had been a little slower, I would have been blocked.
Although the Imperial Guard is also part of the security of the capital, it has nothing to do with Jing Zhaoyin, especially because it belongs to the royal family. Most of them are aristocratic children. They are the emperor's closest escorts. They usually do small things to maintain public security. , there is no need for them at all.
"They are wearing uniforms of the Imperial Guards. There are not many of them, only five or six of them." Mo Ye looked carefully at the Imperial Guards left at the door and replied with certainty.
"Has the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty come?" Mo Xuetong asked casually. Considering You Yuecheng's vigilance, he shouldn't appear directly at the scene of the "incident" at this time. It was also necessary to stay away from the melons and pears.
"Princess, this slave has discovered the Crown Prince of Ming Kingdom." Mo Ye suddenly let out a low cry and looked down with his eyes wide open in astonishment.
"You Yuecheng entered the jade shop?" Mo Xuetong was stunned. How could a person like You Yuecheng, who inherited the title of the son of a rich man and could not sit down in the palace, appear in the jade shop at this time, knowing that he was involved with the Sixth Princess? Regarding the relationship, this is so unlike You Yuecheng's behavior.
"Princess, no, the Duke of Ming Dynasty came in from the main entrance of the tea house. He should have come to this tea house." Mo Ye stared at You Yuecheng who entered the tea house proudly, frowning and said.
Her window is above the jade shop, and you can see the main entrance of the teahouse clearly when you turn it sideways. This teahouse is quite large, with five or six storefronts on the left side of the jade shop. The upstairs area connected to the jade shop is full of teahouses. Mo Xuetong would come over sometimes and take a rest here. Every time she came, she felt that the business was good.
This teahouse looks very well run!
You Yuecheng came in at this time, and of course he would not just drink tea here. Alarm bells were ringing in his heart. The shopkeeper was down below to deal with the search by the imperial guards. There was no problem on his side. Mo Xuetong had just told him to just say nothing. I don’t know, he was just entertaining guests in front, and he couldn’t possibly appear at the window in the backyard.
The accounting office has returned to its original state, Mo Lan is very careful, and Mo Xuetong believes that Mo Lan happily left a trace for them.
Only that door!
"Princess, when we came up just now, that door..." Mo Lan also thought about this problem and immediately turned pale with shock. The door was actually not obvious. It was built at the opening of a hidden ladder. There were also mixed things outside. There are several boxes placed there, and no one usually goes here. Entering through the door of the jade shop, you should not be able to find this secret door.
Mo Xuetong didn't know why this stair door existed, but since it was convenient, she didn't say anything.
But what about the teahouse!
When she came up from the tea house, she clearly felt that although this door was out of the way, it was not a secret door. It should be facing a room. Judging from the size of the room, it was more like a shopkeeper's account. You Yue Are you suspecting that someone came up to the second floor from below
"Princess, what should I do? Do you want me to go tell the shopkeeper and ask him to block the stair door over there immediately?" Although Mo Ye is good at martial arts, he can't make up his mind when it comes to this kind of thing. He is anxious. Wandering around, I couldn't think of a solution for a while.
"No, you are here just to mention that the matter of marrying Duke Ming has something to do with us. Moreover, the clothes counter is only familiar with the manager of the jade shop, not us. When he came up just now, he only sent a boy. They brought us here and said that the shopkeeper had informed them and said nothing else. It shows that not many people know about this matter and the shopkeeper may not have taken it to heart."
Mo Lan spoke to stop him.
"Then... what should we do now? The Duke of Ming Dynasty is here to find out what's going on. The shopkeeper here will definitely be found out by him. Then he will find out where we are." Mo Ye looked out again. Look, there is no trace of You Yuecheng below. He has obviously entered the teahouse door.
"Don't worry, Mo Lan. You go to the door to say hello and bring a pot of Biluochun over. By the way, ask the guy how many ladders you can go downstairs here."
Seeing Mo Xuetong's face with a faint smile and a calm and natural expression, the maids immediately felt that they had a backbone, and Mo Ye stopped wandering around and stood beside Mo Xuetong again to serve, with blind worship in their hearts. I thought, the princess must have a solution, so there is no need to mess up the situation.
Mo Xuetong's smile calmed people's hearts. Although she didn't know her princess's intentions, Mo Lan still put away the panic in her eyes and followed her master. After all the ups and downs, Mo Lan admired her master from the bottom of her heart. Since If the master doesn't panic, it means that the master has a solution. These maids only need to do their part and not cause trouble for the princess.
I opened the door and walked outside. I met a waiter walking by carrying a tea tray. He stepped forward to ask politely.
After talking to the waiter for a few words, he re-entered the private room.
"Princess, the man said that there are two stairs that can go up and down here, one on the left and one on the right. Because this teahouse is a bit big, it is more convenient to go up and down in two places. The servant specifically asked if there is any shortcut to go up and down. The man didn't know for a long time. To answer the question, this probably means I don’t know.”
Mo Lan analyzed Mo Xuetong carefully, and therefore felt at ease.
It seems that the waiters in this shop don't know about the small staircase that leads directly to the two shops upstairs and downstairs. It is impossible for the prince of Ming Dynasty to find anything. There are so many seats and tea customers upstairs. Who can She wouldn't notice that they had just come in. When she went out to talk, she just asked the waiter to refill a pot of Biluochun.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and You Yuecheng's cold and handsome voice came from outside the door: "Let your shopkeeper come over. I have something to ask him."
"Yes, yes, yes, I will ask our shopkeeper to come over right away. Young Master, please go this way." The boy spoke fawningly.
Then there was the sound of the door opening next door, and You Yuecheng was actually let into the room next door!
Mo Xuetong rolled her eyes and had an idea in her mind. She never expected that today she would hear fate in the corner.
I listened to the sixth princess in the small alley before, and here I listened to You Yuecheng again. I really don’t know what kind of fate this is. Fortunately, she does not reject this, and her beautiful eyes fall on her. The wooden partitions on the opposite side are all private rooms divided by wooden boards. The private room where Mo Xuetong is located is very elegantly decorated, and the chairs are all corner rattan chairs, which are leisurely and comfortable.
There is a calligraphy and painting of bluegrass hanging on the wall. The brushwork is mixed and thick, and it does not look like the handwriting of ordinary people.
Mo Lan had already understood and pulled a wicker chair for Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong sat down and leaned against the wooden wall of the box. There was a faint sound coming from there. If you listen carefully, you can still hear it.
The box fell silent, the three people inside looked at each other and smiled, and the whole screen could hear someone coming from the corner! (To be continued)
