But now, the brothers are no longer the same as they used to be...

Yin'er's eyes darkened, and he didn't know whether he was sighing for his brother or himself. He just continued to answer Concubine Yi's words: "But in recent years, I heard that with the help of Concubine De and Fourth Sister-in-law, the relationship between the brothers has become better and better."

"My son heard that it was Fourth Brother who proposed to the Emperor that the Fourteenth Brother directly manage Tongcheng this time. This shows that he is not afraid of the Fourteenth Brother competing with him for credit. The brothers have reached this level, and it is difficult for outsiders to sow discord between them."

But Concubine Yi did not agree with Yinzhen's words.

No matter how good the relationship between two people is, they will always have their own selfish desires, which leaves room for outsiders.

Yinzhen didn’t understand such things, but she did.

After thinking about it, Concubine Yi wrote a letter and gave it to Yinzhen, asking him to send someone to secretly deliver it to Longjing Pavilion in Prince Yong's Mansion after he left the palace.

----------------

When they received the letter from Concubine Yi, Rouze and Yinzhen were also a little confused.

Because what Concubine Yi was asking was whether anything unusual had happened in Concubine Yixiu's courtyard recently.

To be honest, she has tried not to see Yixiu over the years.

Especially recently, because he was thinking about how to poison Concubine De and put the blame on Concubine Yixiu at the same time.

She was even more afraid that when facing Yixiu, a wrong word or a wrong expression would reveal her true colors in front of Yixiu.

Therefore, she had not been to Yongkang Pavilion for a long time, and naturally had not seen Yixiu.

She had also mentioned these things to Concubine Yi, who praised her for being cautious at the time. Why did Concubine Yi now take the initiative to pay attention to Yongkang Pavilion?

The reason was not stated in Concubine Yi's letter. After several contacts with her, Rouze had keenly sensed that Concubine Yi was just using her and was always telling her half and keeping the other half.

Rouze was very dissatisfied with such a condescending attitude.

Since Concubine Yi still didn't explain the reason clearly, she didn't plan to go to Yongkang Pavilion in person to do things for Concubine Yi.

I just sent the maids to pay attention to any changes in Yongkang Pavilion, and that was enough to deal with it.

Coincidentally, the maids in Longjing Pavilion also wanted to protect themselves and just deal with it. So, a few days later, Rouze's reply to Concubine Yi almost made Concubine Yi's nose crooked with anger.

Rouze's reply said that the recent difference in Yongkang Pavilion was that the maid Randong took leave and went home.

Upon receiving the news, Concubine Yi almost tore up the letter in her hand.

Isn't it obvious that I am trying to fool people by reporting to her the news that a maid has returned to her hometown?

Would she care about the maids in Prince Yong's mansion?

"Go tell the messenger that if her master doesn't want to work for me, just say so and don't treat me like this."

Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows, looking very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea..." The maidservant beside Concubine Yi, named Zhaoxia, suddenly spoke.

"I just heard from the queen that the one who asked for leave to go home was Ran Dong. I happened to hear that the fourth concubine had four personal maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, who were always trusted by the concubine and almost always stayed with her. Especially Ran Dong, because her parents passed away in recent years, she has never left Prince Yong's mansion."

"Your Majesty, who has been in the upper position for a long time, may not know that we maids, whether in the palace or the palace, rarely go home on our own unless we are called by our family. After all, serving the master is our top priority."

As soon as Zhao Xia finished speaking, Lao Jiu came in: "Mother, the man who went out to do business a few days ago is back!"

"How? Is it possible to be sure that the man is dead?"

As soon as she saw the Ninth Prince, Concubine Yi immediately inquired about Yinzhen's whereabouts, but was disappointed to see Yinzhen shook his head at her and said, "We still haven't found him. We have also left people to continue looking, but mother, the people who came back said that they seemed to see a burden with the Fourteenth Prince, so I guess it's not certain that we won't find him."

"A burden?" Concubine Yi frowned and asked, "Why would you bring someone like this with you when you go out to do business?"

"Fortunately, we brought such a person. We still have a chance to find him." Lao Jiu said cheerfully: "Lao Shisi is really brave but not wise. Why would he bring such a person with him?"

"Yes, Old Fourteen is brave but not wise, but at least he is brave..."

Concubine Yi took a look at her son's smug look and said with some regret: "Don't you see the problem yet?"

------------------

what is the problem?

Yinzhen was a little confused.

"Old Fourteen is a military commander, so he must have been surrounded by capable warriors. However, when he was injured, he had a burden by his side, and he was unwilling to abandon him or use him to block the attack. This can only mean that this person is very important, even more important than Old Fourteen's life."

A bold idea suddenly came to Concubine Yi's mind. Could this person be Concubine Yi Xiu?

The Fourteenth Brother is not married, and he would never easily look for a woman outside in times of crisis.

But the maidservant beside Yixiu happened to be gone.

Could it be that Yixiu is no longer in the room...

She immediately wrote to Rouze, asking her how long it had been since she last saw Yixiu.

A few days later, I received a reply letter from Yinzhen, who I hadn't seen for a long time and even said that Yinzhen had not gone to Yongkang Pavilion.

Now, Concubine Yi was even more certain of her idea.

But she did not intend to tell Rouze about this discovery. After all, the most important person she had to deal with was Yinzhen, not Yixiu.

If the correspondence was frequent and was discovered by Yinzhen or Defei, all efforts would be wasted.

She just told Yinzhen to find the hooligans in the capital and secretly spread the rumor that the Fourteenth Prince liked Yixiu, just like she did when she slandered Yinzhen last time...

At that time, they will see how Yinzhen reacts and then they will make their next plans.

It would be best if Yinzhen directly turned against Fourteenth Prince.

Concubine Yi thought hatefully in her heart.
