Seeing that Sheng Jiayan's face was not good, Meng Eqi quietly took a step back and prepared to exit again. She didn't want to be in trouble at this time. However, Sheng Jiayan had already stood up and put the secret letter in his hand into the long-handled palace lantern and burned it to ashes, and stopped her, who wanted to get away.
"You and Fang Bao?" Sheng Jiayan's face was as cold as jade, and he stopped asking halfway through the question, as if waiting for Meng Eqi to explain himself.
"Me and him?" Meng Qiqi didn't react a bit, then thought that Sheng Jiayan had probably heard her conversation outside the door just now, and quickly explained: "I just met Mr. Fang in the garden, and I don't even know you. No, I just lied to the maid. I saw that she kept pestering Dingchen before I wanted to let her go. You didn't see that, Dingchen's face was flushed, he was not good at communicating with women. Don't send him to do such a difficult thing next time."
"I think he communicated well with you." Sheng Jiayan turned around and sat down on the desk, not knowing what to write on the rice paper with a pen.
Meng Eqi was at a loss for words and shot back, "He also communicates well with Chunfeng."
A smile flashed in Sheng Jiayan's eyes, and it happened that Mo Chunfeng turned the window and entered at this time. He seemed to be sent out by Sheng Jiayan to perform some task. Androgynous eyes.
"What am I!" Mo Chunfeng asked Meng Qiqi while taking off his veil.
Meng Qiqi pretended to read the scrolls on Sheng Jiayan's bookshelf, and Mo Chunfeng wanted to ask questions, but Sheng Jiayan stopped him.
"What did you find out?" he asked.
Mo Chunfeng immediately said sternly: "As Your Highness thought, the Gao family is indeed strange. On the surface, it is just a prefect of Youzhou, but I found that Gao Xian had close contacts with people in the capital, and the plague in Wenzhou City..." Mo Chunfeng Glancing at Meng Eqi's back: "I suspect that it has a lot to do with Gao Xian. Even if it is possible, the chase and killing of Lin's family seems to have something to do with Gao Xian."
Meng Qiqi listened to Mo Chunfeng's report on the situation, but she didn't understand what was in front of her, but she turned around immediately after hearing the last sentence: "It was Gao Xian who hired someone to kill the Lin Mansion family? They are relatives! If Xian's enthusiasm for Manager Lin is faked, then this person is too deep to reveal."
Sheng Jiayan sneered calmly: "Driven by interests, what can a mere distant relative count?"
Mo Chunfeng nodded with deep conviction: "Your Highness, in this case, should we set off as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that it will drag on for a long time, and it will be more threatening to the shopkeeper Lin's family."
Sheng Jiayan pondered slightly: "No hurry."
After that, he folded the written letter and handed it to Mo Chunfeng: "Send this letter back to the capital quickly, and it must be handed over to Lu Sanniang."
Lu Sanniang is the fourth right-hand man under Sheng Jiayan. She rarely shows up. Even Meng Qiqi has never seen her very much. According to the biography, she is a very reclusive person. But her management skills are very good, and her martial arts accomplishments are even more difficult for ordinary people. When Sheng Jiayan and the others traveled this time, all the affairs of the Prince Regent's mansion were handed over to Lu Sanniang.
Mo Chunfeng took the letter and ordered to go out.
Meng Eqi thought of resigning when she saw that she had nothing to do with her. Sheng Jiayan took out a slip from a scroll on the side: "Mrs. Gao is going to hold a flower banquet in three days, and she made a special trip to invite you."
Meng Qiqi took the slip with suspicion, and on it was written the words that Gao Wang's family invited Miss Meng.
"My lord, won't she be the Hongmen Banquet?"
Sheng Jiayan chuckled: "You are finally smart." Then he put away his smile, "Gao Xian's intentions are unclear, maybe there will be some clues at the flower banquet. You can just eat and drink after you go, and I will arrange the rest."
