Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Yi Qing was extremely anxious. She was just a small maid in the Eastern Palace. It was impossible for her to take the box of jewels out of the Eastern Palace without being discovered.

Even if the Second Madam found it today, she wouldn't be able to take it out, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would discover it.

If so, she will definitely be implicated.

She didn't want Li Shuangmiao to die and be punished because of her.

We have to think of a foolproof plan that will not be discovered by the imperial guards and can deliver the things safely to Li Yuanming.

She repaid the favor of saving her life and got back her indenture contract.

What should I do?

Xu stared at Yi Qing with burning eyes: "Yi Qing, tell me, where did the Crown Princess put the things? You know, right? Quick, give the things to me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Yi Qing gritted her teeth and shook her head: "Second Madam, I really don't know. The Crown Princess brought the things back by herself. Only the Crown Princess knows where it is hidden."

Xu snorted coldly: "Useless thing, you have served the Crown Princess for so many years, but she doesn't even give you this little trust."

Yi Qing lowered his head, rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

But Xu was a risk-taking person. After searching several times without success, she finally lay on the ground and reached under the bed.

Yi Qing really couldn't help it and his eyebrows were throbbing.

Xu finally took out the box and panted heavily: "This damn girl, she hid the things really well."

Yi Qing pressed on the box: "Second Madam, you can't take this thing away!"

If the prince knew about this, she would be finished too.

"Go away."

Xu kicked Yi Qing.

Yi Qing grimaced in pain, but he didn't let go. He could only kneel on the ground and beg her.

"Second Madam, I beg you, you really can't take this thing away. The Second Young Master said that this thing is useful to him."

"Useful? What's the use?" Xu immediately became excited.

For the sake of his own life, Yi Qing could only make up stories.

"I don't know either, but the Second Young Master has always been filial and must want to give you a surprise. Second Madam, why don't you give the Second Young Master this opportunity?"

"Really?"

"I swear to heaven."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately smiled. Yuanming, this damn kid, knew that good things should be obeyed by his mother.

"Okay, you can give it to the second young master."

Anyway, it will eventually fall into her hands: "Don't tell the second young master that I was here."

"Yes."

Yi Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and watched Xu pick and choose. Finally, she pretended to take a few of Li Shuangmiao's clothes and left.

As soon as Xu left, Yi Qing immediately stuffed the box back under the bed.

What method should she think of to get the things to the Second Young Master as soon as possible?

The Second Young Master once saved her life, and this was the last thing she did for him.

Get this done and we won’t owe each other anything from now on.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only gave her ten days to investigate the matter of the jade pendant and Xingshui Hutong, but several days passed and nothing was found.

Originally, she thought that as long as she went to the Duke's Mansion and asked the servants of the second house, the matter would have some clues.

But somehow, I didn't even find out any useful information.

Instead, he learned that all the servants in Zhilan Courtyard had been replaced.

It was said that he did not serve me well enough and was taken away by human traffickers a few days ago.

In the vast crowd, she couldn't find the servants at all.

If she couldn't find any evidence, she would really have to die with Li Shuangmiao.

What virtue and ability did this idiot have to let herself die because of her!

no way!

Yi Qing walked out of the house worriedly, looking at the palace servants busying around under the scorching sun, and felt that today's sun was particularly dazzling.

Just at this time, a young eunuch passed by her. Perhaps he didn't look carefully at the road or something, he rushed straight into her in a rush.

Just when Yi Qing was feeling upset, he was knocked and staggered two steps. He was about to curse at the man for not having eyes, when suddenly a note was stuffed into his hand.

She instinctively clutched the note and looked up to find the young eunuch, but he was too fast and there was no one there.

He immediately turned back to the house, unfolded the note, and saw only an address written on it: Liuyue Tower.

Yi Qing looked at the note and frowned.

Liuyue Tower is the top restaurant in Shengjing City. If you don't make a reservation several months in advance, there will be no seats available.

The only people who came and went were high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen in the capital.

Even though she had served Li Shuangmiao for such a long time, she had never been to Liuyue Tower once.

Why did this person give her this note for no apparent reason? She didn't have the spare money.

Yi Qing crumpled up the note irritably and threw it into the incense burner.

The flame suddenly jumped up and landed on the note.

Somehow, Yi Qing felt her heart beating violently for several times, and she felt that the fire was not burning the paper, but her life.

He immediately felt a burning pain and quickly took the note out of the incense burner.

A large piece of the paper had been burned, leaving only half of the word "Leave".

She quickly shook off the incense ash on it, cleaned it carefully, stuffed the small piece of paper into her sleeve, and after she had tidied herself up, she opened the door and left the house.

The palace maid in the courtyard was still doing her own thing, but her mood was different.

She always felt that there was someone in the dark, watching her all the time, watching her every move.

She didn't understand what was waiting for her, she only knew that if she didn't take this trip, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he showed the palace token and left the palace smoothly.

It’s a pity that she couldn’t take the box of jewelry out of the palace so easily.

Yi Qing walked very quickly and appeared at the entrance of Liuyue Tower in less than half an hour.

After taking a few deep breaths, she walked forward and a waiter came out to greet her: "Miss, please come in."

It seems that even without the note, this person is still waiting for her.

Yi Qing raised his eyes to look at him, only to see that the waiter had a smile on his face, but it was a very faint smile.

It was just like the half-smiling look she showed to Li Shuangmiao a few days ago.

I look down on it, but I have to face it.

Yi Qing knew what this meant, but didn't dare to say anything. He followed the waiter upstairs.

When they reached the door of a private room on the second floor, the waiter pushed open the door and said to her calmly, "Please come in, young lady."

Yi Qing stood hesitantly at the door of the private room.

The door was only slightly open, and a man of medium build could be seen standing with his back to the window.

She suddenly felt a little regretful and turned to leave.

"Young lady, are you leaving? It seems that you don't want to solve the case that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entrusted to you?"

Yi Qing paused in his steps, turned around slowly, and looked at the man in front of him: "Who are you? How do you know what the Crown Prince asked me to do?"

Lin Musen chuckled and looked at Yi Qing who was looking at him warily: “Lin is the owner of this restaurant. The girl seems to have some misunderstanding about Lin.”
