Xiao Changmin's attitude was very clear, he compromised with Xiao Changtai.
Half of it was for Shen Yingruo, and half of it was to prevent Xiao Huayong from getting rid of Xiao Changtai. Now that one person is missing, he is at an additional disadvantage.
Xiao Huayong smiled and nodded, then turned and left. Xiao Changmin respectfully escorted Xiao Huayong out of Prince Zhao's mansion. Xiao Huayong walked down the stairs, stepped on the last stone step and said, "Second brother, don't become the next Fourth Brother."
If he could force Xiao Changtai to this point, he could naturally force Xiao Changmin to this point as well.
Xiao Changmin turned a deaf ear to him and said, "Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Changmin didn't stand up until the sound of the carriage wheels faded away. His face became increasingly gloomy as the sunlight disappeared.
"Your Highness, we must..."
"No need, just send someone to keep an eye on the second one." Xiao Huayong raised his hand to interrupt Tian Yuan, "It all depends on how capable the fourth one is!"
After Xiao Changtai left Prince Zhao's Mansion, he returned to his hiding place. Li Yanyan knew about this place, but she couldn't come. She and Xiao Changtai had an appointment to meet in a house next to the east building. Li Yanyan was already waiting for people there, and her letter had also been delivered to Xiao Changtai's whereabouts.
After Li Yanyan captured Ye Wantang, she sent a letter to Xiao Changtai, but the letter was swapped by Xiao Huayong. As Xiao Changtai had ignored her letter before, Li Yanyan did not receive a reply and thought that Xiao Changtai was just pretending. She was sure that Xiao Changtai would come to Beijing within five days because she believed that Xiao Changtai was sincere to Ye Wantang.
Sure enough, Xiao Changtai came to Beijing within three days. Although she didn't know why he was going to Prince Zhao's Mansion, she ignored Xiao Changtai's affairs.
This time, she did not mention Ye Wantang in the letter to Xiao Changtai. From Li Yanyan's point of view, Xiao Changtai came just for Ye Wantang, and she knew that Ye Wantang was in her hands, so there was no need to be aggressive. Repeated reminders annoyed Xiao Changtai.
Xiao Changtai was extremely angry with Li Yanyan. He didn't know that Li Yanyan was being used by Xiao Huayong, so he also wanted to meet Li Yanyan and make things clear. At the same time, he told Li Yanyan that their contact information had been discovered.
When Xiao Changtai went to meet Li Yanyan, he was not on guard much, because Li Yanyan did not tell Xiao Changtai that she met Shen Xihe after their secret meeting on the Lantern Festival.
In Li Yanyan's view, this was just an ordinary matter. She didn't know that Shen Xihe could recognize people by their scent. She also informed Xiao Huayong about this matter. Xiao Huayong had already sent people to survey the area around the East Building.
Cui Jinbai was in the Dali Temple, so it was very convenient for him to investigate the residence in Kyoto. He had hundreds of ways to do it without arousing anyone's suspicion.
As soon as Xiao Huayong's carriage left the Wang residence, he received the news: "Your Highness, Princess Dai has gone to Qian's residence."
Qian Mansion, the mansion where they had their secret meeting, was bought by a man named Qian.
Xiao Huayong raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Let's go find the third brother."
When Xiao Changtai arrived at the Qian residence, it was getting dark. Li Yanyan had already had dinner here. Xiao Changtai's slow arrival really annoyed her: "Fourth brother, it's really rare to see you."
"Do you know how critical this moment is?" Xiao Changtai was also very angry at her sarcasm. "If I didn't have something important to tell you, do you think I would come to see you?"
Li Yanyan was a little confused: "What's the matter?"
