Shen Xihe looked at Zhenzhu with appreciation, and Zhenzhu pointed out the key point: "There must be someone behind her."
If they just wanted to deal with the Fifth Princess, she had countless ways to do it over the years, and the people in the palace could use them at will, so there was no need to go far away. Shen Xihe was more inclined to believe that the Fifth Princess was ordered to deal with her, and the person who ordered the Fourth Princess would give the Fifth Princess what she wanted.
The Fifth Princess had no idea of Shen Xihe's abilities and did not dare to take action herself, so she took advantage of the stubborn and willful Fourth Princess.
This also made Shen Xihe understand why the Fourth Princess suddenly became interested in her brother that day.
I'm afraid that the Fourth Princess praised Shen Yun'an in front of Princess Changling many times, which gave the arrogant Princess Changling some ideas. The Fourth Princess expected that she would refuse, and if so, Princess Changling would definitely hold a grudge.
After that, a series of things happened naturally.
The seemingly weak and pitiful Fourth Princess is the most scheming and cunning one. No wonder she was found.
"Princess, we must..."
"Don't touch her for now. I want to see who is behind her. She will definitely take action again." Shen Xihe shook his head slightly, "The matter of Prince Xun is more important now."
Prince Xun's affairs concern the northwest, and Shen Xihe cannot let him go back. Even if she cannot get the whereabouts of the army from his mouth, she wants Prince Xun to leave his life here. Without Prince Xun as the commander-in-chief, the people he trained will not be able to exert their maximum power.
Shen Xihe did not go back to the Princess's Mansion directly, but went to Duhuo Tower. Blending perfumes also requires medicinal materials. Duhuo Tower has cooperation with several major medicinal material merchants in Kyoto. She personally ordered the shopkeeper and the medicinal material shop to inquire more about the medicinal materials that Prince Xun needs: "All these medicinal materials, whether they are sold together or sold separately, must be monitored by someone..."
"I want this scented fan."
Shen Xihe was instructing the shopkeeper upstairs when she heard Shen Yingruo's voice downstairs. She tilted her head and looked down. It was indeed Shen Yingruo in plain clothes.
"Does she come here often?" Shen Xihe asked the shopkeeper.
The dowry of the shopkeeper Tao was naturally aware of the twists and turns of the Shen family, and hurriedly said, "Princess, Second Lady Shen doesn't come here often. She is just like an ordinary girl, she only comes once or twice occasionally to buy some things she needs."
After opening the door for business, Shen Xihe did not treat Shen Yingruo in any way, nor did he tell them not to make noises about Shen Yingruo. The shopkeeper naturally treated her like an ordinary customer.
Shen Xihe nodded slightly, waved to the shopkeeper to let him leave, and she withdrew her gaze and looked through the account book. Since she had come here, she would take a closer look at the account book and see who her customers were, to see if she could pick some out for use.
"Mrs. Shen Er, this scented fan has been ordered."
"Really? I'm a little late." Shen Yingruo felt a little regretful.
"If A'ruo likes it, it's yours." A deep male voice interrupted. Shen Xihe paused and continued looking.
The second prince, Prince Zhao, Xiao Changmin, came steadily forward. The waiter who entertained Shen Yingruo immediately put the scented fan in a box and handed it to Xiao Changmin: "Your Highness, your fan."
It turned out that this fan was actually ordered by Xiao Changmin, and Xiao Changmin and Shen Yingruo were actually acquaintances. From Xiao Changmin's familiar tone, it seemed that the two had a close relationship. Shen Xihe's gaze swept over the two of them.
