A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

The girl opened her mouth but no sound came out and she could only gesture with her hands. I don’t know if she was anxious or for some other reason. I have no idea what she wanted to express.

"What do you want to say? Take your time, slow down."

The girl could only make a "wuwu" sound.

She calmed down for a moment, suddenly made a gesture of drinking water, and then started pinching her neck and sticking out her tongue.

"You mean, you were poisoned and became mute?" Lin Qingyang asked.

The girl looked up at her and nodded painfully.

Lin Qingyang looked at the girl in front of him and asked patiently, "Can you write?"

The girl shook her head.

She couldn't speak or write, and I couldn't understand what she was gesturing. I had no idea where she was from or what had happened to her.

Lin Qingyang comforted her:

"Don't worry, take good care of your body."

She asked the maid at the post station to look after her. The little girl was not feeling well and needed to rest more.

Prince Xiao An dealt with the "face" projects in officialdom.

Lin Qingyang examined the little girl and found a doctor for her. Although Lin Qingyang could treat her, she did not want to fully expose her "skills" in front of strangers.

The little girl was not born deaf and dumb, maybe she could be cured. The doctor was treating her in front, and Lin Qingyang was supervising her. Anyway, the little girl didn't know which doctor prescribed the medicine.

The little girl cooperated very well with the doctor's treatment. She probably also wanted to recover to normal and speak as soon as possible!

Two or three days later, the little girl was able to go out to the fields. Perhaps out of gratitude to the people around her, the little girl always wanted to do something to repay Lin Qingyang for taking her in.

She rushed to work with the maids, sweeping the floor, boiling water, making the beds and folding the quilts, and the little girl did everything very well.

If she wanted to do something, Lin Qingyang let her do it and didn't stop her.

Little Prince An began to take Lin Qingyang to various academies and libraries.

Jiangbei Town is poorer than Jiangnan Town. Its resources and transportation are not as good as those of Jiangnan Town. Its only advantage is that it is close to the sea. However, one of the nearest islands is used to detain prisoners.

Many exiled prisoners need to pass by the seaside here. There is nothing interesting to see on an island where prisoners are imprisoned. Besides, who would go there as an ordinary person?

Lin Qingyang and Xiao An Wang were somewhat wary of the servants at the post station, and there were some things that could not be said openly, but the two felt much more at ease with the mute girl. Not only did they allow her to be around, Lin Qingyang also often talked to her. After all, a mute was the most reassuring person.

"Are you used to living here?" Lin Qingyang asked. The girl smiled and nodded.

"You work efficiently and carefully. Were you a maid in someone else's family before?" Lin Qingyang asked.

The girl nodded and made an inaudible sound.

"Don't worry, the doctor said you are recovering well. Maybe you will be able to speak in a few days." Lin Qingyang patted her and comforted her.

The girl pursed her lips and nodded.

On this day, Lin Qingyang and Xiao Anwang came back from outside again and saw Zi Su and the little girl competing to wash clothes. They were so eager to do the work that they really showed that the servants were too "diligent".

Lin Qingyang asked Zi Su to go down. If the girl wanted to work, then let her do it. After all, they redeemed her and she was their servant now.

But Zi Su took advantage of the little girl's inattention and secretly said to Lin Qingyang: "Princess, this girl seemed to be looking for something in the house. I caught her and she used clothes to cover it up!"

Lin Qingyang's expression did not change, the corners of her mouth turned up, keeping the smile she had just shown, she patted Zi Su and said, "Just pretend you don't know about this matter, let her be, don't worry about it."

After listening to Lin Qingyang's words, Zi Su didn't quite understand at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she seemed to understand. It turned out that the prince and princess had always suspected her!

This matter was too coincidental from the beginning. On the way out, the three girls and two strong men seemed to be arranged for them. On the way south, others had more than one team of spies, but King Xiao An also had his own spies.

After the three girls were brought back, the other two had already left and were being watched from behind. Those two might really be ordinary maids who had been abducted.

But the two strong men made some discoveries.

The two strong men did not go to Haicheng, but returned to Jiangnan Town.

Perhaps the two men thought their mission was accomplished and no one would be watching them, so they drank a few more glasses.

Although he didn't know their specific arrangements, he knew that someone had deliberately put the little girl next to Prince An, and Lin Qingyang also discovered that the girl's muteness should have been cured. Maybe she was still pretending to be mute so that she could stay in the post station.

That night, Lin Qingyang and Prince An were chatting on the couch by the window.

"You said there's nothing wrong with Jiangnan, so why does the emperor send people to inspect it every year?" Lin Qingyang asked.

"You really thought we were here for an inspection, just going through the motions, but in fact we have other arrangements," said Little An Wang.

"Any other arrangements? Is it dangerous? Which official are you investigating?" Lin Qingyang asked.

"How can you let your family be with you when you are in danger? There is no need to check every year for anyone!"

"Why is that?" Lin Qingyang asked.

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else." Little Prince An lowered his voice.

The ones outside today are Cui Ping and the mute girl.

Cui Ping had fallen asleep against the pillar next to him. The mute girl pressed herself against the window and if she listened hard, she could still hear the conversation between Lin Qingyang and Xiao An Wang.

"The emperor sends people here every year. This is the power of the Xiao family. Some people always think that the emperor is investigating the Xiao family. In fact, the emperor doesn't care. There is a treasure here. The emperor sends people to investigate every year. But now we only know that it is in Haicheng, but we don't know the specific location."

Xiao An Wang said.

When the mute girl heard the word "treasure" at the foot of the wall, she was startled.

Lin Qingyang in the room seemed also surprised and raised his voice.

"What? Treasure? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Maybe Marquis Ping'an also knew about it and that's why he sent his son here. Even if there is treasure, it has nothing to do with me, and we can't take it back." The voice of Prince An sounded again.

"Isn't what you said? Su Siyan died just like that. Could it be related to the treasure? Did she know about it? It seems that Tao Boyan has a high probability of knowing about the treasure. Didn't the emperor suspect them?" Lin Qingyang asked.

The mute girl continued to listen attentively, Cui Ping was still "sleeping"!

"The emperor may have suspected something, otherwise he wouldn't have let me stay in Jiangnan Town for so long. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything. It's annoying to pretend to go to the academy and pretend to like reading books every day!"

Little Prince An sighed, and the mute girl heard Lin Qingyang chuckle softly.

That night, someone brought the news back to Jiangnan Town from the post station.

The next day, Xiao Anwang and Lin Qingyang pretended nothing had happened.

"Let's go to the largest library today!"

Lin Qingyang said.

Today she was dressed more simply, and on her head she wore the white jade hairpin that the Queen Mother gave her.
