The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

Just after midnight, there was a slight noise from Dongfang Li's window in He Yuexuan's backyard.

knock knock knock...

knock knock...

knock……

Dongfang Li stood up and opened the window, and a figure stepped in without alerting anyone.

"what's up?"

"Yan Jun has met the original poster, but he didn't know that the original poster was here. Please forgive me."

The person who came was none other than Yan Jun, the branch owner of Yuzhou April Building.

"I'm just passing by on business this time."

Dongfang Li turned her back to Yan Jun and looked quietly at the waxing moon in the sky.

"Lord, the things you ordered before have been investigated to some extent, but some details need further confirmation."

Yan Junshi took out a broken piece of ring pendant from his arms and handed it to Dongfang Li.

"This ring was found in the house of the maid who served the lady at the banquet. The maid left the palace after the banquet. The brothers in the building took so long to find this clue. Obviously the person behind it is a thoughtful person. , and a very ruthless person."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Dongfang Li turned around, took the incomplete ring and looked at it several times.

The finest mutton-fat white jade is warm to the touch and delicate to the touch. You can tell at first glance that it is a rare good thing. If you look closely, you will find an extremely delicately carved peony flower in the center of the ring.

"The news is that when our people came to find her, although the maid was still alive, she was blind, her throat was mute, and her hands and feet were missing."

"What's going on with the ring?"

Dongfang Li has always been indifferent to people and things that have nothing to do with her. There are many miserable people in this world, and not everyone deserves her care and attention.

"The maid could hear the sound. Whatever our people asked, she answered with gestures. She said that a eunuch found him and used this ring as a reward to poison her in a pot of wine. At that time, the eunuch did not Talking about which table the wine was distributed to, the maid was obsessed with money, so she did so. She also said that the eunuch arranged for her to leave the palace, but after leaving the palace, she became what she is now, and many things happened to her later. It’s all unclear.”

"Eunuch? Can you send someone out of the palace easily? Has Huanpei been checked?"

Dongfang Li looked at the incomplete ring in his hand and had a rough guess in his mind.

"The ring came from the Western Regions and was a tribute that year. However, we have not found out who the ring was awarded to."

"Has the source of the poison been found?"

"Not yet, our people have been checking."

"You send someone to deliver this piece of ring to Prince Xu's Mansion... No, you send it there in person, take my handwritten letter, and hand the letter and things directly into the hands of Prince Xu, and ask him to help investigate the matter of the ring. . In addition, please tell me to let our people focus on tracing the source of the poison from now on."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Dongfang Li curled up the corners of his mouth, a shrewd and calculating look flashed in his eyes.

……

Prince Xu's Mansion

Xunjian appeared in Linfeng Pavilion with a handsome man.

"My lord, someone brought it."

Xunjian reported back outside the door.

"Bring it here."

"Sir, please."

"Thank you."

As soon as Yan Jun entered Linfeng Pavilion, he was attracted by the words behind the desk. The vigorous and powerful words were indeed the opposite of "quiet". Looking closely, he felt that there was helplessness and sadness in the words.

"I wonder what your Excellency has to do with me?"

Nangong Xu frowned slightly, obviously not having a good impression of this person.

Also, who would take the time to tease the guard at the gate of Prince Xu's Mansion?

"How did the prince know that I was looking for you?"

Yan Jun looked at the man in a dark brocade robe across from him. A silver half-mask covered most of his face. His powerful aura was not reduced at all because he was sitting in a wheelchair.

"you're brain damaged?"

"Ok?"

"As we all know, Prince Xu's Mansion welcomes guests behind closed doors, but you dare to play tricks on the guards guarding the door in public..."

Nangong Xu glanced at Yan Jun and continued to deal with the matter at hand.

"As expected of Prince Xu, no wonder..."

Thinking of Dongfang Li's instructions before leaving, Yan Jun couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"Nangong Xu is my fiancé. He is currently recuperating. You should be more normal. If you dare to cause trouble and distract him..."

The punishment system in April Tower was customized by the owner himself. He was lucky enough to see it once. It was simply inhumane...

"...?"

Nangong Xu looked at Yan Jun with questioning eyes.

"Yan Jun has met Prince Xu. The host asked me to personally deliver these two things to the prince. Prince Xu's palace closed the door to thank guests, so he had no choice but to tease the guards at the door. Please forgive me."

Yan Jun spoke respectfully, took out the letter and the ring and handed them to Xun Jian aside.

"My lord..."

"Bring it here, I know who sent it."

With just the word "host", Nangong Xu could easily tell who this person was.

Looking at the small regular script with hairpins on the envelope, Nangong Xu's expression was no longer gloomy.

"Xunjian, take Yanjun down to rest."

"Yes."

Dear Prince, Yan Jun is used to being casual. If he gets into any trouble, I will bear with you. There are some clues about what happened in the past. It is not convenient for my people to continue. I would like to ask the prince to help investigate. Have a safe trip and look forward to returning.

The signature is Dongfang Li Yuzhou.

It was a very short letter, but it explained three things, one explained Yan Jun's identity, one explained Nangong Xu's help in checking Huan Pei, and the other explained his current itinerary, but there was no explanation about himself. A simple sentence could not be simpler: "Wang Ye'an, that's it."

Nangong Xu looked at the letter in his hand with both helplessness and relief. He was helpless because Dongfang Li didn't miss him at all, but he was relieved that she would think of asking him to help when something happened. Doesn't this also prove that he already has a place in her heart? Woolen cloth? Nangong Xu was a little happy, but when he saw the extremely delicate Dian Chun (both peony flowers, with different names in different periods) carved in the ring, the joy he just felt disappeared without a trace.

Palace spring flowers originated from the Western Regions, and only the royal family of the Western Regions can use flowers as decorations. If Nangong Xu remembered correctly, among a batch of tributes from the Western Regions six years ago, there was a palace spring flower garland...

"Ali... do you just want me to help? Or are you actually testing me? No matter what it is... it seems that as long as it's you, I can't refuse, right?"

On the other side, Dongfang Li and Xunyang set off again when the sky was slightly bright...

The horses prepared by He Yuexuan were no less impressive than the horses from Prince Xu's Mansion. They kept running fast until almost noon before Dongfang Li and Xunyang dismounted and rested in the woods on the roadside, letting the horses graze.

"Sir, we should be able to reach Licheng before dark."

Xunyang was eating dry food while estimating the two people's itinerary.

"Xunyang, we have to get to Licheng before dark."

"why?"

"The distance between Yuzhou and Licheng is the shortest. We can't waste time here. We will have to sleep in the wild later. If the news about Dragon Scale Grass is true, then we can't guarantee whether anyone else will do the same except us. We are thinking about the dragon scale grass, and if we are lucky enough to obtain the dragon scale grass, then on the way back, it is inevitable that no one will pay attention to the oriole behind..."

Dongfang Li looked along the pipe into the distance.

da da... da da...

The sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and a group of six people galloped past without any intention of stopping.

"Xunyang, our competitor is here."

"Ah."

Apparently, Xunyang also saw the weapon that accidentally leaked from the group of people just now.

"Master, do you want to send a message back and send some people over?"

Xunyang put aside his usual sunny image and became serious.

"No, the more people there are, the harder it is for us to do things. And I'm afraid it's too late to go back and transfer people now..."
