Chapter 99 Check and Balance
Li Youyu is extremely favored. Although her relationship with the prince is not very close, she is still closer than Li Zhang. Therefore, Li Zhang only needs to find conclusive evidence to bring the disaster to the prince. go.

The crown prince's reputation has been tarnished, how can Li Yu, a bastard, be any better?
one stone two bird!
Hmph, what's the use of knowing how to fight?

Thinking of this, Li Zhang couldn't help feeling a little complacent.

He has never put Li Yu, the fourth brother, in his eyes. To him, Li Yu is just a dog's leg following the prince's ass, as long as he can squeeze the prince...

The crown prince is his!
The imagination was so wonderful that Li Zhang almost forgot that he was still tied up.

As for Shen Qingling, after listening to Li Zhang's narration, she didn't feel at all comfortable.Although Du's family and Secret Key didn't lead to anything worse, they were already considered lucky, but all the officials from Yangzhou to Bianjing helped Li Zhang to conceal the matter, which really shocked Shen Qingling.

This group of officials ignored Li Yu's order when he left. Could it be that they are acting according to the attitude of the officials?
Originally, Shen Qingling shouldn't be worried about this, but now that she is stepping on the situation of her family and country, many past thoughts naturally surfaced, which caused her to part ways.

Why doesn't the prince want to be a wanton prince like other brothers?

But the status of the prince weighed on him, the expectations of the officials on him weighed on him, and the demands of the officials on him also weighed on him.Under everyone's gaze, he became restrained and cautious day by day.

The courtiers acted on the sidelines and chose sides one after another.

However, what Shen Qingling knew was that they could choose anyone, but they were not optimistic about the prince, and even in the increasingly strict accusations against the prince by the officials, they had the idea that the prince could be discarded.

Fortunately, the prince did not reach the point where father and son hated each other after all.

"Okay, then please wait a little longer, Lord Zhan." Shen Qingling raised her hand and sprinkled the powder all over Li Zhang's face. Before the smile on Li Zhang's face dissipated, he passed out.

Xue Yu helped Shen Qingling carry the man up, and then asked: "What is Er Niangzi going to do now? If we send him back now, he must be aware of our intentions."

After hearing Li Zhang's confession, Xue Yu couldn't stay any longer, and only wanted to get out as soon as possible to clean up the mess outside.

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Qingling looked at Xue Yu calmly, "Li Zhang blocked Yangzhou's dispersal channel, just to stabilize Ren Bingyi and you first, but what if you rescued him?"

The savior followed, but Li Zhang couldn't say anything.

"The second lady means..." Xue Yu quickly realized that this was an excellent idea. Even if the people of the Du family were intercepted by them once, there would be another time. The best way is to stay in Li Zhang's side, using Li Zhang's own people to spread the message.

Just do what you say, Shen Qingling and Xue Yu have the same mind, and there is no need to discuss anything else, they are immediately moved.

It's just that when she went out, she turned back and took the jade pendant from the corpse's waist from the body in the secret room.She always felt that she had seen this thing before, and she had no time to think about it, so she could only hold it first and talk about it when she had time.

At this time, the courtyard was already empty, with only a few guards left guarding outside. Presumably, they expanded the search area and searched outside.

Shen Qingling handed the person over to Xue Yu, while she fled lightly, slipped away from nowhere, and went straight home.

After she left, she didn't learn what happened in the yard from Di Yun's mouth until three days later.Xue Yu injured one of his own arms, and appeared in front of the guards carrying Li Zhang covered in blood, before he even had time to say a word, he passed out.

Xue Yu didn't know whether Li Zhang was moved or not.

But it is indeed as Shen Qingling said, after this life-saving grace, Xue Yu stayed in Li Zhang's other courtyard justifiably, and used this to confuse the public, so that Li Zhang could not find out why the transport team went around again Back to Bianjing.

At the time when Di Yun was telling Shen Qingling the story, Xue Yu had already set off with Li Zhang to Bianjing, and Di Yun was specially ordered by Xue Yu to come here to make her feel at ease.

"Your Excellency is escorting the daughters of the Du family to set off this time, so you can be sure that things will not fall into the hands of others, Second Lady, just rest assured." Seeing Shen Qingling's sad face, Di Yun thought that she was worried about the safety of the secret letter.

Who knows that Shen Qingling rubbed the center of her brows, and said: "Didn't I ask your adults to investigate Liu Xiuwu's affairs for me? How can he let others go? How can I investigate now?"

For this matter, Liu Xiuwen came to Shen's house several times, almost breaking the threshold.

"This..." Di Yun was dumbfounded, raised his hand and scratched his head, and explained: "My lord let me stay in Yangzhou so that I can get in touch with the second lady smoothly. If there is any progress, he will definitely notify you as soon as possible. You'd better stay calm."

After finishing speaking, Di Yun slipped away quickly.

Shen Qingling laughed angrily at his avoidance, turned around and called Yingxiu and Yuxiang, and took a carriage to Huai'an Pavilion.

As the New Year approached, Yangzhou was full of family reunion festivities, and those literati gradually stopped going out for a stroll, so now the business of Huai'an Pavilion is visibly sluggish.

The moment Shen Qingling arrived in front of the store, she saw the waiter standing on the steps, chasing a ragged little boy away.

"There are no leftovers today, so find another place to beg for food." Although the guy is not a wicked person, he never sees a beggar in front of the master's house, so after seeing Shen Qingling coming over, he hurriedly waved the boy away .

Yingxiu turned her head to look at Shen Qingling's face, walked over quickly, and asked, "What's the matter, little brother Wang? Whose child? It's cold, with so little clothes, I'm afraid he might get sick from the cold." here."

The clerk immediately smiled, and bowed to Yingxiu and replied: "Miss Yingxiu, this is a beggar, not someone else's child. I was waiting at the door early this morning, saying that I wanted to beg for hot porridge... You said, we don't have any guests here today, where did we get the leftovers?"

The boy has a pair of bright and deep eyes.

He cleverly realized that Yingxiu was just a maidservant, so after Shen Qingling approached, he turned around and knelt down, kowtowed and said: "I also ask the lady to give me a bowl of hot porridge. There is a brother in my family who is suffering from a cold. Waiting for a mouthful of hot porridge to fill your stomach."

Shen Qingling didn't speak, she put her hands in the stove, and stared at the young man calmly.

This young man gave Shen Qingling a very familiar feeling, just like the jade pendant that she dragged off from the dead man.It's a pity that she has been trying to imitate the jade pendant for the past few days, hoping to retrieve Feng Chen's memory, but to no avail.
