Xia Chu knew that Xiao Mubai had the same thought as him.
Unless, the assassination of Xiao Zimu was not done by Du Hanfei alone. Du Hanfei just sent out private soldiers, and there was someone else who could mobilize the mausoleum gate.
And this person was the one who commissioned Lingmen to assassinate Xiao Mubai six years ago.
This also explains why Du Hanfei, as a prime minister, risked his life to kill Xiao Zimu twice. From this point of view, it was not his original intention but the instruction of others.
But who can teach Du Hanfei to be willing to take risks
"No way?" Xia Chu's face was full of disbelief.
Xiao Mubai frowned, and although he was equally shocked, he still said coldly: "If there is only one possibility left, even if it is impossible, it can only be her."
After Xia Chu thought about it, the only answer was Li Fei.
When Du Hanfei assassinated Xiao Zimu, it was the time when the Shi Mansion and the Du Mansion were getting married. Concubine Li was the matchmaker, but she was not holding a red thread, but was in the same boat.
Only Concubine Li could explain why the two commissions to the mausoleum gate within six years were targeted at the prince.
Six years ago it was Xiao Mubai who was famous, and six years later it was Xiao Zimu who was famous.
Concubine Li was just trying to clear away possible obstacles for Xiao Yanjun on his way to the throne.
Xia Chu let go of Xiao Mubai's hand, put her arm on the table to support her chin, and tapped her index finger on the table habitually: "But she lives in the palace, how can she command the mausoleum gate?"
Xiao Mubai curled his lips and said, "Maybe we can start from Miss Rongrong."
"Rong Rong!" Xia Chu's eyes lit up and she looked at Xiao Mubai in surprise: "Have you found the Rongrong girl who was next to Concubine Wan?"
Xiao Mubai nodded: "Back then, Concubine Wan was given a white silk ribbon, and all the palace maids around her were also punished. I spent some time searching to find out the palace maid with the word Rongrong. Her surname was Chen Rongrong. Concubine Wan died, and she was sent to the Clothes Bureau. A year later, when she was old enough, she was released from the palace. She has been married for more than four years and has no children."
Xia Chu heard that she had been out of the palace for four or five years, and it was not certain whether she was still in the capital or not, and she didn't know where Xiao Mubai found her. He then asked: "Where is she now?"
Xiao Mubai curled his lips and reached out to touch his forehead: "Have you forgotten what Pang Weiguang said?"
Xia Chu stopped tapping her index finger and immediately patted the table: "She married Si Nan?"
Xiao Mubai looked like you were vain of your cleverness. Xia Chu muttered: "I said she has been out of the palace for four or five years. Where can I find her in the vast sea of people? It turns out that you directly checked Si Nan's family."
Xiao Mubai acted like a teachable brat again. Xia Chu vaguely remembered that Si Nan had a mansion in the capital, and since Chen Rongrong was his wife, she must also be in the capital.
But how can we get close to Chen Rongrong
You can't just tie her up directly, otherwise you might alert the snake and arouse Simon's suspicion.
Xia Chu wrinkled her little face and was worried about how difficult it was to attack Concubine Li. She didn't expect that even a girl back then had no place to attack. She glanced at Xiao Mubai from the corner of her eye and saw him with another narrow smile. Yi looked at himself.
Xia Chu's eyes moved, but his eyebrows relaxed, and he looked at him with his chin raised: "Have you already made a plan?"
Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand and pinched her round chin: "Otherwise, you think I can let you and Bingwen drink and have fun at noon. If I hadn't been unable to get away..."
"Okay, just say it quickly, I'm so anxious..." Xia Chu felt guilty and hurriedly interrupted him, tugging on his sleeve coquettishly.
Xiao Mubai couldn't bear her appearance, so he shook his head helplessly and then said: "After leaving the Ministry of Justice, I have been investigating this girl named Rongrong. Later, I checked Si Nan's family and found out that she married The person is indeed him, I arranged for a maid to be sent to the palace, and although I cannot wait in front of her, I can still find out her current situation."
Xia Chu remembered what Xiao Mubai had said before, that they had been married for more than four years and still had no children: "Are they not in a good relationship?"
Xiao Mubai nodded: "According to the investigation of the people I arranged, Si Nan treated her with respect, but rarely got close to her. There was also a concubine in the house named Guru, who was good at dancing. Si Nan loved her very much and often praised her. The body is soft and the dance moves people’s hearts.”
…
Xia Chu curled his lips: "Your people are quite capable of spying. I'm afraid I've heard a lot of things."
Xiao Mubai stopped talking and looked at him intently. Xia Chu coughed lightly and said, "Say it, go on."
Xiao Mubai then rolled his eyes at him: "The point is, this Gu Ru has given birth to a boy and a girl three years after entering the palace, which shows that Si Nan is very obsessed with her."
Xia Chu frowned: "Why?"
The veins on Xiao Mubai's forehead twitched, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips: "In the future, you can also hold two in three years, and you will understand why."
Xia Chu understood immediately, looked shy, and stuttered a bit as she wanted to continue what he said: "So, Chen Rongrong is very dissatisfied with Guru?"
Xiao Mubai glanced at her: "It's human nature to be dissatisfied. If it were you, would you be satisfied?"
Xia Chu stood up and slapped the table, shouting: "Xiao Mubai! Try it!"
Xiao Mubai coughed lightly, took his hand and sat down: "I can't try this, and I have no intention of taking a concubine."
Xia Chu snorted and turned away.
Xiao Mubai had no choice but to continue: "We can't go into the house to find Chen Rongrong. We can let her come out to find us on her own."
Xia Chu became curious, and slowly moved her head three inches. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and asked, "How to make her take the initiative to find us?"
Xiao Mubai laughed when he saw his strong look: "In Chang'an City, if we talk about dancing, who can dance in the capital?"
Xia Chu finally couldn't hold himself any longer, turned to look at Xiao Mubai, opened his mouth and said, "Xian Li?"
Seeing that he finally turned his head, Xiao Mubai did not dare to show off any more, and continued: "If the maid in the mansion inadvertently spreads the news that Miss Xianli from Yixiang House plans to accept a disciple, do you think our Miss Rongrong will be tempted? "
Xia Chu felt that she would be tempted, but Xian Li was the oiran of Yixiang House after all. Chen Rongrong would not go to Yixiang House to find Xian Li in person and ask her if she would accept a disciple.
Furthermore, Chen Rongrong would not let Xian Li enter the house to teach her.
If a guru is overthrown, wouldn't it be more of a loss than a gain to bring in an immortal
Therefore, he asked Xiao Mubai: "How to let the two of them meet?"
Xiao Mubai had naturally thought about all his previous concerns, and just opened his mouth to explain to him: "As long as the maids in the mansion spread the word, Xianli will go to Tianyan Temple to pray for blessings on his way back to Yixiang Tower in the near future. If he meets a girl with whom he is destined, he will accept her as his disciple..."
Xia Chu's eyes lit up, and he already knew it without Xiao Mubai finishing, and he smiled: "It seems that our girl Rongrong will definitely give it a try to see if she is the destined woman. "
