Tang Yibai smiled grimly and tapped the seal of the letter with his finger.

"Your Highness, didn't you read the seal of this letter? It's sealed like this, without even a seal. Who would have noticed that it was opened?"

"Besides," he smiled with a hint of sarcasm, "when this letter is handed over to Prince Yong, even if he finds out something, the princess will already be his wife. As a husband, will he have the nerve to blame you?"

"If you allow him to accuse you without any response plan, you will only humiliate the princess's reputation in vain."

"In fact, I think with the princess's ability, you should be able to make Prince Yong fall in love with you and control him in your hands."

The Eighth Princess was speechless, and there was nothing to say. She knew that Tang Yibai could do what he said, and it was imperative to open the letter.

She was also a little curious and wondered what Prince Zhennan wrote in the letter.

Tang Yibai didn't wait for her to answer and used a small dagger to open the seal of the letter.

There was only one piece of letter paper with a dozen simple lines of words, just some greetings and congratulations, which could be seen from the bottom at a glance.

Tang Yibai snorted and laughed: "The letter from the Prince of Zhennan is not very sincere."

The Eighth Princess pursed her lips and said nothing, watching him take out a tinder, light a candle, and put the letter on the fire.

Slowly, other words appeared.

The eighth princess came closer out of curiosity and clearly saw the words that appeared: "A peek at someone else's letter is a thief."

Eighth Princess: “…”

The smile on Tang Yibai's face froze, and his playful eyes turned into vicious ones.

"What a great King of Zhennan."

His eyes quickly turned to the Eighth Princess, who was frightened by his sudden stare.

"Princess, is it fun?"

The Eighth Princess' heart was pounding, but she pretended to be calm on the surface: "What do you mean, Commander?"

"What do you mean? Didn't the princess ask for this letter? She wanted to use this letter to leave Youcheng."

The Eighth Princess almost stopped breathing and subconsciously took a few steps back: "Commander, why do you say that?"

At this moment, Tang Yibai was shrouded in a cold aura, like a ferocious beast that could attack her at any time, and she had no power to resist at all.

"Princess, do you want to leave so much?" Tang Yibai still held the small dagger that pried open the envelope between his fingers.

"No, no, Commander, I don't know why the King of Zhennan asked me to deliver this letter. I was also surprised that they came today. I..."

"Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" The dagger in Tang Yibai's hand flashed coldly, "Then I'll let you know what the consequences are of going against me."

……

Yan Ruyu did not take the Wu family's affairs too seriously. Wu Laosan brought trouble upon himself by embezzling military rations. He deserved to be beaten. A few dozen lashes was the lightest punishment. According to military law, he would be beheaded immediately.

Of course, he has to pay back the money before being executed.

She wrote down what happened in those days on paper, drew pictures, and put them together with the previous ones.

There were too many things to do and the threads were a bit tangled, so she relied on this method to sort them out from time to time, removing those that had been resolved and were not related, and summarizing them again.

There has been no news of Xiang'er, the woman who had fallen in love with the secret guard, tortured and killed two of the secret guards, and tampered with the secret guards' corpses to trip her up.

Except for the secret guards who were on a mission, the others were looking for her, but there was still no news. It was as if this person had disappeared out of thin air and evaporated from the face of the earth.

She had two big men under her command. They pretended to be beaten and chased and fell in front of Huo Changxu's store. The whereabouts of the two men are unknown.

Yan Ruyu classified the three of them as dangerous, but the danger was nowhere to be found, making people feel uneasy.

However, this person must have suffered backlash and is probably not having an easy time.

Then there is Lu Si. Lu Si is still alive. Tang Yibai is one of his behind-the-scenes masterminds, but only one of them. The real mastermind is a person from this dynasty who has reached a cooperation with Tang Yibai, that is, a traitor. This traitor is most likely the one who framed Huo Changhe in the first place.

Finally, there is Mr. Mo, who is mysterious, powerful, and always follows you like a shadow.

Yan Ruyu stopped writing. She thought that by tracking Madam Rong, she could find Mr. Mo's hiding place. However, the secret guard in charge of this matter returned seriously injured and has not woken up yet. It seems that she has probably failed.

Even if they hadn't failed and had found the location, by the time the secret guard woke up, so many days would have passed. Given Mr. Mo's alertness, he should have moved away from the original place.

I'm afraid it will all be in vain again.

After finishing all these, we will have to wait and see when the adults will leave Youcheng. Once they leave, we can deal with these things wholeheartedly.

Start with Lu Si first and find the traitor. As for the other people who are hiding, look for them slowly. Who knows, they may show up on their own one day.

Who is the person behind Lu Si? In Youcheng or Shencheng?

As I was thinking, I heard voices outside. It was Beibei.

She didn't rush to speak, and listened to Linlang ask: "What are you doing here?"

Beibei took out a bag of cookies from her arms: "This is for you."

Linlang took a look and wanted to say no, but swallowed it back: "Are you from the dim sum shop?"

"Yes, I tried one of these cookies, it was really delicious, I helped some ladies with some work, and they gave it to me."

Linlang pursed her lips: "They gave it to you, what are you doing for me?"

"I told you to take it and eat it. You follow the master, and I know you have no shortage of delicious food, but this is really delicious. I can't eat such a delicate snack, so this is just right for you, little girl."

Linlang reached out to take it: "The master taught them to make it, I know it tastes good."

She pinched the bag: "Reach out."

Beibei didn't understand why, but she did as she was told and stretched out her hand.

"Two."

Beibei stretched out his two hands and put them together. Linlang poured the cookies from the bag into his palms: "Here, half for each of you."

Beibei smiled happily: "Oh, you don't have to give me so much..."

Linlang put away the cookies and said, "Is that all you have to say? Do you have anything else to tell your master?"

Beibei glanced at the window and said, "It's not a big deal, I won't go in and disturb you. Please tell them that the eldest lady of the Wu family has gone to Qingfeng Temple."

Yan Ruyu asked them to pay attention to the situation in the Wu Mansion. Madam Wu was driven to Qingfeng Temple. It was not a big deal, but it was also a change in the Wu Mansion and they had to report it.

"Okay, I see."

Linlang turned and went into the house to reply. Beibei wanted to say a few more words but had to hold back. He looked to the side and saw the boss holding a knife, looking at him with a smile.

"Well, Boss, I'll leave first if everything is fine."

The boss asked, "What's wrong? Are there no more cookies? Can't an old woman like me eat delicate snacks?"

Beibei showed a sincere smile on her face: "How can I? Please wait, I will go do some more work and exchange almond cakes and jujube flower cakes with the ladies. The small biscuits are delicious, but compared with these, they are just right for you. Wait for me!"

As he spoke, he ran away.

The boss almost laughed out loud. This kid's brain was so quick that he even used the word "generous" to describe the snacks.

He's smart.
