After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The Ninth Prince rode a horse and swayed beside the carriage.

He resisted the urge to look back several times, but he was keenly aware of a line of sight that was fixed on his back.

This was the second time he heard that Liu Zhan might be using his own banner to persuade King Jing.

But he really couldn't figure out how there could be any entanglement except that King Jing and his mother were both members of the previous dynasty.

It can even make a king with a different surname, who harbors the ambition to regain the former dynasty, be willing to put aside his far-reaching plans and submit to Liu Zhan willingly.

He also charged into battle for him and quelled rebellions, large and small.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart, they can't help but take root, sprout, and grow wildly.

Qiao Wanshu originally thought that the Ninth Prince would take her somewhere to investigate the case.

Unexpectedly, the carriage rolled and rolled directly back to the palace.

"Palace, are you going back now?"

Qiao Wanshu stretched out her little hand and pointed out of the car window.

The thought of returning to that lifeless palace so soon made her feel depressed.

"Well, I have to go back and deal with some things. If you feel bored, I will find more people to play with you."

The Ninth Prince also felt somewhat apologetic.

But he still had business matters to deal with, and he really couldn't keep accommodating Qiao Wanshu's ideas.

Qiao Wanshu understood this.

After all, the Ninth Prince is an ambitious person now.

And he was surrounded by wolves, and his situation was far from as good as it seemed now.

So most of the time he still has to make plans for himself, which is normal.

Seeing that Qiao Wanshu didn't speak, she just turned her gaze to the window again, looking very well-behaved and pleasant.

The guilt in the Ninth Prince's heart suddenly emerged.

"How about... I'll take you to the West Market first to see what fun and delicious food there is, and buy some back?"

Qiao Wanshu's eyes lit up, but then she shook her head and said, "No, go back. I want to see Huahua."

Although she also wanted to go to the Western Market, she lost all interest when she thought that the people around her were distracted and wanted to go back to the palace immediately to handle official duties.

If you want to play, just play well and have fun.

There is always someone watching and urging you secretly, which would make people feel disappointed.

When the Ninth Prince saw that she really didn't want to go and wasn't playing some hard-to-get game, he thought about it and gave up.

After returning to the palace, the Ninth Prince immediately gathered his confidants and went to the study to discuss matters.

Although these matters were related to the Prince's case, they still involved the Ninth Prince's privacy, so he did not take Qiao Wanshu with him.

When she saw the Ninth Prince placing her in a wing of the palace, Qiao Wanshu understood that he wanted her to avoid suspicion.

After pretending to be quiet in the room for a while, Qiao Wanshu couldn't sit still.

She really wanted to listen to Qiang Gen'er and wanted to know what the Ninth Prince said to his confidants.

"Sangzhi, let's go and see the flowers!"

Qiao Wanshu made a random excuse and let Sang Zhi carry her to the yard.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the flowers, I slowly moved towards the study.

Although the Ninth Prince also lives in the palace, there are no exotic gardeners in his palace to tend to the flowers and plants, so in addition to pines, cypresses and bamboos, there are some wintersweet and peach trees.

All other flowers and plants have withered, only the plum blossoms are still blooming brightly and defying the frost and snow.

Although Qiao Wanshu wanted to listen to Qiang Gen, she had no choice but to see guards passing by outside the study at any time.

She also thought about how to play hide-and-seek and hide over there?

But this idea was quickly rejected by her.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, she always had a feeling that the Ninth Prince seemed to know that there was another mature soul hidden in her small body.

If not, then his attitude and conversation with her are really weird.

[Forget it, this method doesn’t work, just think of other methods. The worst is, if I continue to make insinuations and the like, I don’t believe I can’t find out. 】

Qiao Wanshu comforted herself a little in her heart.

However, what surprised her was that when Sangzhi approached the study, he actually discovered several hidden whistles.

【Good guy! Sangzhi’s skills are not bad! With her, I won't have to worry about having helpers when I want to investigate anyone in the future. 】

Qiao Wanshu was so happy that she wished she could go to General Chen's mansion immediately and give her grandfather seven or eight kisses on the face.

Sangzhi's arrival was a timely blessing for her!

"Miss Qiao, it's cold, so you still have to be careful not to catch a cold."

A nun came over with a soft and warm fox fur and wanted to put it on Qiao Wanshu.

"Thank you, mama. The fox fur on my young lady was specially prepared by my wife. It won't be cold."

Sang Zhi was very vigilant and refused to let Qiao Wanshu come into contact with unchecked things.

"Is Miss Qiao bored in the house? Why don't I ask the maids to come and play with her for a while?"

Although the old grandma hit a snag, she obviously had no intention of giving up and made another suggestion.

This time Sangzhi couldn't make her own decision, so she turned to look at Qiao Wanshu inquiringly.

"Let's play, let's play! Hide and seek!"

Qiao Wanshu was worried that she would not have a chance to get close to the study, so she fell asleep and took a pillow.

But she wasn't sure whether she could successfully hear Qiangen'er.

Mammy quickly gathered the maids in the Ninth Prince's palace and asked them to play with Qiao Wanshu.

As a personal maid and bodyguard, Sangzhi would naturally not be too far away.

Qiao Wanshu took the opportunity to hide and successfully took a few steps closer to the study.

But she could get close to the study. Once Sang Zhi took a step closer, another guard would appear out of nowhere and stop her.

After several attempts, this was the case, and Qiao Wanshu gradually lost interest.

[Looks like it still doesn’t work. If it’s just me, I’ll get closer if I get closer. But if she was stopped with Sang Zhi, I had to retreat further. 】

[Success is like a mulberry branch, and failure is like a mulberry branch. 】

Qiao Wanshu was lost in thought when she was hugged unexpectedly.

"Miss Qiao, I have found you!"

It turned out that she was just lost in thought and forgot that she was still in the game, so she was caught by the palace maid who was pretending to be a ghost this time.

"No, no, let's play again! Let's do it again!"

Qiao Wanshu had no choice but to play the role of an energetic little girl.

But this time, she unexpectedly heard some gossip.

Although the rule of hide-and-seek is that if you are caught by a ghost, you must pretend to be a ghost.

But because of Qiao Wanshu's cheating, she got another chance to hide.

This time she hid in a bush and slowly approached a rockery under the cover of the bushes.

Just when she was about to touch the rockery and hide inside, she suddenly heard someone talking behind the rockery.

"I said, have you heard that King Jing, who almost never enters the capital, not only entered the capital, but also secretly had a private tryst with a woman."
