Xiao Sui is the real rebel leader!
So he entrenched Yangzhou and stole the imperial food... Was it because Li Mingji sent her back to the capital because he discovered Xiao Sui's secret?

But how should she explain the source of her doubts to her uncle? After all, the dream is very different from the reality, and the things in the dream did not happen in reality... Maybe it was because she hated Xiao Sui that she turned him into Xiao Sui in her dream. The chief culprit of the chaos in the capital.

Moreover, Li Mingji is Xiao Sui's adopted son, and now my uncle dislikes Li Mingji everywhere, and maybe he will be angry with Li Mingji because of Xiao Sui.Right now, he can only rely on Li Mingji to find evidence and break up with Xiao Sui as soon as possible.

Shu Yao sighed quietly.

In this case, isn't Li Mingji's current situation very dangerous?

Shu Yao hugged the quilt and lay down again, wrapped in a familiar atmosphere. For some reason, she remembered Xie Yanzhou's hostility towards Li Mingji, and the reminders he gave her again and again, telling her to be careful about Li Mingji .

Is it because Xie Yanzhou said that because he discovered something?
But it was Xiao Sui who stole the imperial rations, and the leader of the rebel army who invaded the imperial city in the dream was also Xiao Sui. Li Mingji was always by her side, so he couldn't interfere with these things.If he really wanted to harm her, he could use her from the beginning without revealing his identity in front of her.

Reassuring herself, a new doubt emerged in Shu Yao's heart.

Since Li Mingji is Xiao Sui's adopted son, what role does Li Mingji play in Xiao Sui's attack in the dream?Why didn't he appear in her dream?
She was in the dream, but she didn't have a bodyguard, right?

……

For several days, Shu Yao was thinking about this new strange dream.Unfortunately, she found to her dismay that not only did her memory of the dreams become blurred with the passage of time, she also couldn't remember many of the dreams she had last year clearly.

She had no choice but to put the matter on hold for the time being, and wrote another letter to Li Mingji, and ordered someone to send it to Chunjiang Huayuelou.At the same time, Shu Yao received an invitation from Princess Ruyang.

What kind of banquet is Auntie going to host this time?
Princess Ruyang likes to be lively, and she has to hold more than a dozen large and small banquets a year, Shu Yao is no stranger to it.She put away the invitation, washed and dressed, and arrived at the Princess Ruyang's mansion on time.

There are many people attending the banquet today, most of them are wives of officials.Recently, Emperor Yong promoted many poor families, and their female relatives were the main invitees for this banquet.You must know that in the past, according to their identities, they would not be qualified to participate in this kind of royal banquet in their lifetime. Today's officialdom is indeed very different from the past.

Shu Yao glanced at it, and had a rough guess in her heart.It has only been two or three months since my uncle appointed these new officials, and the female relatives have already formed a small group. Some wives and ladies should be attending this kind of banquet for the first time, and the embarrassment on their faces is obvious.

She was still among these female relatives, and saw Pan Shi and her youngest son Shu Ningzhi.

Shu Yao hadn't paid attention to the movements of Qin Yanghou and Pan's for a long time. She had no feelings for Qin Yanghou for a long time, and she only treated her as a stranger who had nothing to do with her, not to mention love or hate.However, perhaps it was because Shu Ningyou was granted the title of County Head to marry Tatar, which cut off Pan's dream of being an imperial wife. Pan seemed to be more than ten years old, sitting in a corner with Shu Ningzhi in his arms, looking quite desolate.

Shu Yao snorted coldly, and turned to look for Princess Jiayi without any fluctuations in her heart.Seeing the well-dressed girl walking by in front of her, Pan's eyes lowered, and she hugged Shu Ningzhi even tighter.

Qin Yanghou was almost forgotten by the capital, and when he received the invitation from Princess Ruyang, he even specifically asked her to bring the children around, even Pan was very surprised.Her daughter completely lost to Shu Yao, Princess Ruyang invited her to bring Shu Ningzhi to the banquet, did she want to see a joke in the Hou Mansion?

After thinking about it again and again, Mrs. Pan still came to the eldest princess's mansion.Even if she knew that she came here to be humiliated, she still had to swallow this breath.Now that the upstarts are rising, if they don't show up again, Qin Yanghou's family will really withdraw from the capital stage. This is definitely not the situation Pan wants to see.

No matter what, her daughter is also the county head appointed by Emperor Yong himself. The identity of the county head's mother is far more prominent than Qin Yanghou's concubine...

"Mrs. Pan."

Just as she was thinking, a maid came in and smiled at Mrs. Pan, "Mrs. Pan, our Eldest Princess wants to see you."

Princess Ruyang?
She has no relationship with the eldest princess, so what did she see her doing, was she trying to vent her anger on Shu Yao?
Pan boasted that she hadn't provoked Shu Yao recently, and Shu Yao had no reason to come to her to make her unhappy.But the emperor's order cannot be violated, she endured her reluctance, lowered her eyes and said hello.

The maid led Pan, brought her into an attic, and stretched out her hand to Pan, "Mrs. Pan, no one is allowed to be present when the eldest princess is talking, so I will let the servant take care of you, Mr. Xiaolang. The servant is in the side room .”

Shu Ningzhi is already six years old, which is the age of enlightenment.He held Pan Shi's hand tightly, looked at the servant girl vigilantly with his small eyes, and shrank behind Pan Shi: "Mother, I don't want to go with her."

A concubine's room is also worthy of being called "mother"?Qinyang Hou's family really has no rules.The maid frowned, Pan quickly patted Shu Ningzhi on the head, and said with a smile, "The child is young and ignorant, so don't argue with him. I just don't know why the Eldest Princess summoned the concubine?"

"I'm a slave, how do I know so much?"

The maid rolled her eyes impatiently, "Mrs. Pan, go in quickly. If the eldest princess is in a hurry, who will bear the consequences?"

She's just a servant girl, if Qin Yanghou hadn't lost power now, how could it be her turn to act like a domineering servant?A trace of hatred flashed across Pan's eyes, she touched Shu Ningzhi's face, and said, "Zhi'er, don't mess around, mother will be back soon."

Shu Ningzhi looked at Pan anxiously, and reluctantly said hello.

Pan Shi regards him as his darling and takes him with him wherever he goes, so Shu Ningzhi obeys Pan Shi's words and dare not disobey her wishes.

The attic door closed before her eyes, Pan sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.

Even though there were two maidservants beside her, she always felt restless, and she couldn't calm down even after drinking a few sips of tea.

Da da.

The sound of footsteps came from the attic, presumably it was the arrival of Princess Ruyang.Pan put down her teacup and was about to show a gentle smile, but when she saw the person coming, she took a step back suddenly and almost bumped into the back of the chair.

"you……"

The woman took off the turban covering her face, revealing a thin face, moving her lips, as if asking Pan: Do you remember me?

But her throat couldn't make any sound.

Of course Pan didn't remember who this woman was, but a strange sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, making her flustered to the extreme, and she turned to ask the maid beside her, "Who is she? Who are you? See Princess Ruyang!"
