Chapter 207 New News
Liu Congyun's identity made Ye Jintang wonder whether she was Consort Dehui's person.
Her existence will definitely make Ye Yanran's life difficult.
"Madam Liu, go and find out what Ye Yanran did to make Imperial Noble Consort Dehui trouble her at this critical moment. Logically, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui also wants to give birth to a little grandson as soon as possible, so she shouldn't provoke Ye Jintang like this."
"Yes, I will go and ask now."
Because of his participation in the martial arts competition in the South Camp, Xiao Yi had become a well-known figure in the capital, so it was not difficult for him to inquire about the affairs of the Prince Qi's Mansion.
In just half a day, Nanny Liu came back with the news.
"Your Highness, I have heard from people outside that the King of Qi has been taking a secret medicine called Diamond Pills recently, which can improve his Kung Fu in a short period of time. I don't know how Imperial Noble Consort Dehui found out about this."
"The Imperial Concubine said that Ye Yanran had bad intentions in encouraging the Prince of Qi to take the medicine, and even said that she was not worthy of being a princess. In order to prevent Ye Yanran from doing such extreme things again, the Imperial Concubine allowed Concubine Liu to enter the palace to assist Ye Yanran in managing the palace."
Ye Jintang was quite surprised to hear this. It seemed that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui not only had spies planted in the Qin Palace, but also in the Qi Palace as well. Otherwise, the matter of the Vajra Pills would not have been exposed so quickly.
The disclosure of this matter would only benefit the defeated Xiao Yi, and he could even be described as a victim. After all, this matter was manipulated by the unethical Princess Qi, Ye Yanran.
Ye Jintang sneered in his heart. This move of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was really powerful. Ye Yanran, who had always had the upper hand, lost her victory almost overnight.
She didn’t know what means of counterattack Ye Yanran could come up with, but she was still quite looking forward to it.
The more the two of them fought, the happier Ye Jintang was. Only if they lost their composure could she leave the capital and head to Ningchuan Prefecture safely as soon as possible.
"Madam Liu, go check if Madam Yao has been implicated."
"Yes, I will check it out right away."
Madam Yao will become Ye Yanran's most powerful helper in the future. It would be great if she could get rid of that person with the help of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.
Unfortunately, Madam Yao was a powerful person and she was extremely thorough in her work. Even though the mist and the Vajra Pill were given to Ye Yanran by her, it was impossible to tell from the outside.
Finally, the information was traced to an old Taoist nun. When the nun learned that the news had been leaked, she immediately committed suicide by taking poison. It can be said that there is no evidence to prove the truth.
The cleanup was so neat and tidy that even Ye Jintang had to admire it.
After much thought, Ye Jintang decided that Madam Yao really could not be kept, so she asked Nanny Zhang to bribe a gatekeeper at Prince Qi's mansion to let her quietly keep any garbage thrown out of Madam Yao's yard. She also asked her to pay attention to Madam Yao's preferences on weekdays. She planned to leave a big gift for Madam Yao when she left the capital.
Noble Consort Dehui kept staring at Prince Qin's Mansion, and Xiao Mo also kept staring at her.
In recent times, Nanny Hua's frequent visits to the palace have attracted Xiao Mo's attention.
Not long after the competition in the South Camp, one day when Shi Bin and Xiao Mo were sitting together drinking, Shi Bin specifically brought up the matter.
"Your Highness, it's strange to say. For some reason, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's people frequently contact some foreign merchants in the capital. Could it be that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has too much silver and wants to use some of it to trade with foreign merchants?"
"How is this possible? Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has lost her face. Even if she wants to do business with foreign merchants, she will not let Madam Hua come in person. There may be something hidden here. Send someone to keep a close eye on her."
"I thought so too. She was able to come up with such a miraculous poison as Linggu Powder. I really doubt whether she would contact foreign merchants to buy some poison again."
"It shouldn't be about poison. Given Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's personality, if she failed to poison Jintang, she would definitely think of another way instead of continuing to poison. Using the same method twice in a row is not her style."
"Your Highness knows Imperial Noble Consort Dehui quite well."
"I have been living under his thumb for so many years. If I didn't understand him, I would have no idea whether I am dead or alive now."
Shi Bin smiled in a very unkind way.
"That's true. Over the years, Your Highness has been in constant contact with Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, so he naturally knows her very well."
"During the competition today, Liuli took the initiative to give you safflower oil. Did you thank her properly?"
"Uh, didn't the prince ask Liuli to deliver it?"
Shi Bin took a bite of the braised beef and responded casually. His attention was all on the table full of delicious food.
It has to be said that since Ye Jintang became the princess, the food in the entire palace has undergone a qualitative leap.
"I couldn't control you at that time. It was Liuli who took the initiative to offer to send you safflower oil."
Xiao Mo was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Cousin, you are not young anymore, and Miss Lin has not been found yet. Are you going to live alone forever? Don't forget that you are the only male in the Shi family."
Shi Bin, who was eating meat with big mouthfuls, raised his eyelids and said calmly, "I said that I would only marry Lin Ruoyu in this life. Even if she is really gone, I will bury her bones in the Shi family's ancestral tomb. As for whether to marry or not, we will talk about it later."
Xiao Mo sighed and stopped trying to persuade Shi Bin.
If he had not met Ye Jintang before, he would definitely say that Shi Bin was disloyal and unfilial to his family. Since he met Ye Jintang, he truly understood that when you really like someone, all rationality will vanish.
Besides, all of them are living on the edge of a knife. If he loses to Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, the Shi family will probably be wiped out overnight. Moreover, given Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's temperament, she will definitely not keep any male members of the Shi family. She will definitely wipe out the entire family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but clench his fingers into fists. He was carrying the hopes of too many people, and there were many people he wanted to protect. He had to win this battle without the smoke of gunpowder, even if not for himself, but for those who had always supported him.
"You sent so many people out, but you can't find out any news. And the young master of General Zhou's family seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
When this matter was mentioned, Bin could not help but complain, "Who said it wasn't true? I sent out the most elite team of spies, but we only found some superficial information and could not find the people. I suspect someone bought them and then erased all traces, which is why we couldn't find them."
"If this is true, it means they are all still alive and well. At least they have something to look forward to in the future."
"Yes, as long as people are alive."
Shi Bin had already investigated and found out that Lin Ruoyu was very likely sold to a brothel. He was mentally prepared for what she would suffer as she had not been found for such a long time.
But so what? As long as she is alive, he can spend the rest of his life warming her wounded heart.
