Chapter 70 Someone is following ([-])

Until noon, there was no movement in Ningyun Pavilion.

I took a long and leisurely walk to the prison, intending to ask if I had found anything from the palace maid.As soon as he arrived at the main entrance of the prison, he saw Kang Cong looking over with a stern face and a sword in his eyes, his hands behind his back.

Yiman raised his right foot and hesitated for a moment, then stepped in and said with a faint smile: "Master Kang is too polite, why did you come out to greet him? I just came to ask the palace maid about stealing property."

Master Kang's face was ugly, and he laughed, "Did the eldest princess think that the forbidden prison is the punishment room of Qingsi Hall?"

With a shameless smile, Kang Cong stepped forward and gave a half salute, but Kang Cong hurriedly avoided it.

"Master Kang misunderstood. I also know that Mr. Kang always only looks at evidence when dealing with affairs, and is the most serious, so I bother you."

Kang Cong frowned, sighed deeply, and went to his room.

Yiman walked into the execution room and saw that the little palace maid had been interrogated for one round and had a lot of cold water thrown on her.

The lobular red sandalwood armchair was naturally placed behind Yiman, and Yiman sat down slowly, and glanced at the maid.

Ji Lan brought a cup of hot tea, "Princess, this little palace lady is called Chunnuan, she just recruited. Du Baolin does have an affair with someone, that little eunuch is called Bingliu, and it is the Shangyi Bureau who sends clothes to the palaces."

Looking at Chunnuan, who was squinting and dying, Yiman looked impatient.

"You are all rumoring that Fang Jieyu was punished by the iron skirt, right? I will tell you today that it is true."

Chun Nuan trembled and started to cry.

Yiman couldn't hear the crying at all, like a beggar crying in a mass grave.Her expression changed, and she threw the teacup in her hand at Chun Nuan's feet.The sound of explosion shocked the attendants in the execution room to kneel down, and Chun Nuan's voice stopped abruptly.

Standing up slowly, surrounded by murderous aura, he walked step by step under Chun Nuan's terrified eyes.

Taking out the handkerchief from Chunnuan's mouth, Yiman looked at her impatiently, "What else, let's talk about it once."

Chun Nuan nodded tremblingly, "There is also Zheng Baolin, Zheng Baolin is also with Du Baolin."

After listening to Chunnuan's intermittent speech, Yiman sat back on the chair.

This Zheng Baolin was actually dragged into the water by Du Baolin, and the two had an affair with Bing Liu of the Shangyi Bureau.It seems that Du Baolin is really determined and ready to enjoy himself in time.

"Then why are you following me?"

Chun Nuan was taken aback by these words, "Your servant, your servant, followed the princess alone."

What about the little eunuch who committed suicide before?

"Didn't Du Baolin have anyone follow me before?"

"Ningyung Pavilion has only a few people serving you, so I don't dare to lie. This is my first time following the princess today."

Yiman leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her for a while, "Then why did you follow me, I didn't know about Du Baolin's messy palace before."

Chun Nuan was also stunned, as if she didn't know that the eldest princess didn't know what was going on.

"Princess--you passed by the Juyuan side before, didn't you see it?"

what did you see?
Yiman looked at Chun Nuan's guilty and flushed face with confusion, and then made a guess.

Juyuan is close to Ningyun Pavilion. If Du Baolin has any hobby, the windows of Ningyun Pavilion are always open. It is indeed possible to see the windows when passing by on the west side.But she was in such a hurry to leave that she didn't pay attention to which side she was walking from.

In other words, Du Baolin had a guilty conscience and misunderstood.

"Du Baolin, do you think I saw it?"

Chun Nuan nodded feebly, "Since that day, Baolin has been uneasy, unable to eat or sleep well. A few days ago, the eldest princess often ran to Yanying Palace, and Baolin suspected that the princess was going to report to the emperor." Yiman sneered. , If you can’t eat well or sleep well, what did you see in the pine cone this morning?
Yiman turned his head sideways, Ji Lan bent over and listened to her ears, "Let the people from Qingsi Hall stay here, don't let anyone get close, and protect her life."

Ji Lan nodded and went down to make arrangements.

Walking out of the prison, Yiman kept thinking about the little eunuch who had been following him for the past few days.Inadvertently shifting his gaze, he suddenly saw a human-shaped shadow on the side of the tree from the corner of his vision.

Yiman narrowed his eyes and walked over slowly.The person behind the tree slowly moved back and was about to escape.

Yiman sternly shouted, "Someone stabbed him, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, take him down."

The guards from the nearby prison and the young eunuchs from the Qingsi Hall swarmed up and were about to suppress the black figure.

"Princess—"

Yiman raised his eyes and saw that he was an unexpected person.

"Eldest princess, I misunderstood. This man was invited by the palace to taste the new fruits outside the palace. The princess misunderstood. Ji Li, you still haven't kowtowed to the princess to make amends."

Ji Li reacted quickly, knelt down on the cobblestone at almost a sliding speed, kowtowed non-stop, lest he would cause trouble for Ji Chongrong if he was too slow.

With a calm smile in his eyes, Yiman looked at Ji Chongrong unabashedly.Seeing Ji Chongrong look away, he smiled lightly and gave a junior salute, "It turns out to be Empress Chongrong. How did Empress Chongrong know that I am in prison?"

Ji Chongrong, with the gentleness of Jiangnan water town, is still calm at this moment.

"I heard that the eldest princess grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. I have brought some cakes and fruits from the south of the Yangtze River to my palace, and I would like to invite the eldest princess to try them."

Although Ji Chongrong didn't answer the question, Yiman responded kindly and followed Ji Chongrong back to Hanxiang Hall.

"Elder Sister."

As soon as I arrived at Hanxiang Hall, I happened to meet the Eleventh Prince returning from Chongwen Hall.After bowing to Yiman, he went to his side hall to study.

The eleventh prince indeed inherited the temperament of Jiangnan literary masters. He devoted himself to books and was not angry even if other princes called him a nerd.

"Princess, please, Ah Wen, bring an extra stove for the princess."

Yiman smiled lightly and took the hot tea offered by the palace man, and began to taste it slowly.

Ji Chongrong smiled like a lotus flower and said, "The princess is so far away that she never slows down or is in a hurry. She deserves to be praised by all the gentlemen for her magnanimity."

With her eyelashes trembling slightly, how did she know the compliments from the adults who came in and out of Yanying Hall?

Yiman smiled, "Thank you, Empress Chongrong."

Ji Chong has a gentle face, like a slightly blooming flower, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I heard that the princess has been delivering soup to His Majesty for several days, it's really filial piety."

"It's too good to be a concubine."

One-third of the refreshment was used, and Yiman was not ready to speak, and left after eating.Ji Chongrong smiled, "Awen, go and pack some new candies for the princess. At the end of the year, the state and county officials from all over the country came back to Beijing to check their achievements, and they brought a lot of new things."

Seeing that the business was coming, Yiman's eyes flashed, and he said with a light smile: "That's right, I heard that Sima Gaoyang is here, and it's really lively at the end of the year."

Ji Chongrong's face was expressionless, but the muscles and bones in his hands suddenly stiffened, just in time to be seen by Yi Man, who had his eyelashes lowered.

It was a lie, but I didn't expect it to be really accurate.

Yiman put down the tea cup and looked around, "Where is the palace servant who swore loyalty to the death just now? His name is Ji Li?"

The female officer named Awen turned cold.
