Yu Zian closed the door and looked at Yun Lan.

"The situation in the Eastern Palace is complicated now. I'm afraid I need to discuss this with Junior Sister in person."

"Go back and tell Junior Sister that I will be waiting for her here tomorrow at noon and ask her to come see me."

Yun Lan nodded, "Yes, I will go back and tell the young lady."

……

At the same time, the Shen family.

Just after Shen Mi accompanied Shen Li to take care of the affairs of the Shen Mansion, a nanny came to the palace.

In the private room, Shen Li heard the maid come to report that the nanny beside the queen came and asked her to enter the palace.

The teacup in Shen Li's hand almost fell to the ground.

She looked up at the maid: "What did you say? The maid next to the queen?"

The maid Bai Xue nodded, "Miss, it's Aunt Zhang."

"It is said that the Queen wants to see you and wants you to come to the palace."

Shen Li put down the teacup in her hand.

"I see."

She turned around and looked at Shen Mi.

"Mi'er, could it be that the Queen discovered it so quickly?"

"Sister." Shen Mi's face was calm.

"Even if the Queen finds out, you just deny it."

"The fire at Manpuku-ji Temple was so big that the hairpin must have been burned to ashes long ago."

"She probably just guessed."

"Besides, entering the palace may not be because of this hairpin, it may also be because of other things."

Shen Li was puzzled. "Other things? What could it be?"

"Now that the crown prince is still in a coma, it is really strange that the queen still wants to let me enter the palace."

Shen Mi stood up and walked to Shen Li, taking off a pearl hairpin on her head.

It was a red plum hairpin, and the other end of the hairpin was extremely sharp.

She carefully inserted the hairpin into Shen Li's head.

"Give this hairpin to my sister. It may save my life if I encounter any danger."

"I'll be waiting for you at the Shen family. If you don't come back soon, I'll go to the palace."

Shen Li nodded and reached out to touch the plum blossom hairpin.

Shen Mi added: "Sister, when you enter the palace this time, you must stay calm in front of the Queen and don't let the Queen see any flaws."

"If you are not careful, one wrong step will lead you into the abyss."

"The queen is suspicious and ruthless. If she targets you, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Shen Li nodded, "Sister knows."

"Don't worry, Mi'er. I'll be back soon."

After Shen Li finished speaking, she turned around and followed Bai Xue to the front hall of the Shen Mansion.

In the front hall of the Shen family, Madam Zhang and Old Madam Shen sat upright on chairs, drinking tea with smiles on their faces.

When Aunt Zhang saw Shen Li coming, she immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Miss, you are becoming more and more beautiful."

"The Queen said that she hasn't seen the young lady for a long time, and she wanted to see you these days."

The corners of Shen Li's lips curled up slightly, and she bowed respectfully to Aunt Zhang.

"I don't know why the Queen wants to see you. Why did she ask Madam to come all this way?"

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "Miss Shen, just follow me. You will know after you get to the palace."

Madam Shen also stood up and walked to Shen Li, "Li'er, the Queen is of noble status, and she must have something important to ask you. Why don't you go with Madam?"

"Don't lose your manners in front of the Queen."

Shen Li nodded, "Yes, Grandma."

After Shen Li finished speaking, she turned around and followed Nanny Zhang towards the gate of the Shen Mansion.

She clutched her dress tightly, remembered what Shen Mi had said to her, took a deep breath, and then got on the carriage.

Shen Mi stood under the eaves, watching Shen Li's carriage disappear from sight, then turned and looked at Yun Lan.

"Yunlan, how is it going with Senior Brother?"

Yun Lan said, "Miss, I forgot to tell you just now that Master Yu asked you to go to Wangjing Tower tomorrow."

"It is said that the situation in the current East Palace is complicated and I need to discuss it with the young lady in person."

Shen Mi pursed her lips and said, "I understand. You go down and do it first."

……

After Yun Lan left, Shen Mi went straight back to Lan Yue Courtyard.

There was a letter on the table. She looked around but didn't see anyone else.

After a while, Qinghe came in from outside.

"Miss, this letter was sent by someone close to the Fourth Master."

"Fourth Master?" Shen Mi's eyes changed slightly, and she reached out to open the letter.

After glancing at the contents of the letter, Shen Mi folded the letter paper.

Qing He approached and asked in confusion, "Miss, what is the content of the letter? Why do you look like this?"

Shen Mi shook his head and burned the letter.

"This letter was sent by the Fourth Master."

"According to the letter, Uncle Jiang Xuan is already on his way back to Yanjing and will arrive in Yanjing in half a month."

"The second princess of Li Kingdom, Luo Yihuan, is also on her way to Yanjing. I'm afraid it will be another bloody storm."

Qing He was puzzled. "The Second Princess of Li Kingdom, why did she come to our Yanjing?"

Shen Mi's eyes darkened, thinking of the previous incident in the desert, "The fifth princess of Li Kingdom, Luo Qingwan, died in the desert that day."

"The Seventh Prince has also lost his memory. If it is true as the Fourth Master said in the letter, I am afraid..."

"Perhaps Yanjing is no longer peaceful."

Shen Mi was silent for a while. The letter also mentioned that the second princess of Li Kingdom, Luo Yihuan, was accompanied by a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The girl looks 70% like her sister Shen Li, so she must have come to the Shen family.

Moreover, it was rumored in the Jiangnan area that the woman was the eldest daughter of the Shen family who was living away from home.

It is unknown whether she is a real legitimate daughter or a fake one.

Shen Mi was afraid that by then the Shen family...

Shen Mi sat on the chair, looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

She murmured in a low voice, "The Fourth Master is so busy now, he doesn't even come to the Shen family."

"And send a letter."

Qing He comforted her, "Miss, I heard that these days are the anniversary of the Fourth Master's mother's death. I guess she is paying homage to the late Queen now."

"You know this too?" Shen Mi turned around and looked at Qinghe.

Qing He pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course I know."

Shen Mi chuckled when she saw Qinghe's look.

"What do you think of the Fourth Master?"

Qing He pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed, "Miss, I can't say it."

"The Fourth Master is quite good, and handsome."

"I'm afraid there's no one else in Yanjing City who is a perfect match for you, Miss. We're a match made in heaven."

"Moreover, he is of noble status, not interested in women, and he is very special to the young lady."

Shen Mi found it strange to see Qinghe praising Murong Che like this.

She rubbed her brows and said, "That's what you said, but you haven't seen him kill anyone."

"Qinghe, some people have two sides, and you can't accept either side."

"You are still a little girl. You will understand one day."

Qinghe's cheeks flushed and she nodded slowly.

"Miss, I don't mean that. I just admire the Fourth Master, and I don't have any other intentions."

Shen Mi said: "I know, you don't have to explain."
