Chapter 575: Really Awesome
After Shen Shuyi left Rouxi Palace, he curled the corners of his lips.
Jinzhu and the others followed behind her, and no one asked any questions. Concubine Rou's eyes were still staring at the group from behind, not too far away.
Shen Shuyi pretended not to know until they reached a corner. She looked at Qin Xin and whispered, "Get rid of him and go find the guard captain Zheng Yuan. He has the thing."
"After you get the things, wait for me at Chonghua Palace."
Qin Xin was stunned for a moment, nodded, quickened her pace, and soon disappeared from the group's sight.
That’s right, the pastry wrapped in the lapel was just a decoy, and she deliberately made things difficult for Zheng Yuan.
The real account book was hidden on Zheng Yuan the moment she bumped into him.
As for whether he was afraid that Zheng Yuan would find out?
Of course she is not afraid!
How could Zheng Yuan, a mere captain of the imperial guards, dare to make public such shocking secrets and irrefutable evidence?
Even if he wanted to please Concubine Rou and gain merit, he definitely didn't have the courage to take out the account book.
After all, anyone who is not a fool will know that knowing a secret that should not be known will lead to being silenced and the only way out is death.
So even if he desperately wanted to please Concubine Rou, he would never make the matter public. Instead, he couldn't wait to get rid of the thing to prove that it had nothing to do with him.
Soon, Concubine Rou's spies quickened their pace and caught up.
The two young eunuchs looked at each other and said, "Oh no! We're missing a maid!"
"Where are the people?" someone asked.
The other man shook his head: "You keep watching, I'll go over there to get some information."
Soon, Qin Xin found where the captain of the guards was.
He had just finished his shift and went to the bathroom. When he touched his body, he suddenly found something extra.
When he took it out and looked at it, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
The Third... The Third Prince and General Dingguo... actually... actually drew a salary without working!
Zheng Yuan's throat tightened. This... is this what Concubine Rou is looking for?
Zheng Yuan was frightened and his first reaction was to present it to Concubine Rou to show his loyalty.
But in just a moment, he calmed down.
No, no, no...If he knew this secret, the Third Prince and Concubine Rou would definitely kill him!
What's more, although he wanted to please his master, he never thought of getting involved in such things.
Even if he gave this thing to Concubine Rou, Concubine Rou would not believe him.
For a moment, Zheng Yuan was in a dilemma and felt like he had held a hot potato.
He wanted to destroy the account book, but he was afraid that the Changning County Lady would come back to blame him. He would not be able to produce anything and would be tortured.
Zheng Yuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He just wondered what the fight between his masters had to do with him? Why did they have to drag him into it?
Zheng Yuan hid the thing in his heart, feeling uneasy. Just as he walked to the rockery, he heard a female voice.
"Commander Zheng, it seems that the county princess left something with you." Qin Xin said with a smile.
Zheng Yuan's face turned pale. This Princess Changning was really abominable. Why...why did she hide things here with him!
Isn't this harming him?
Seeing Zheng Yuan's panicked expression, Qin Xin also laughed: "I think Commander Zheng already knows what it is."
"I advise you to hand it over to me immediately and pretend that nothing happened."
Zheng Yuan's heart was beating wildly. He turned around and looked around like a thief, then hurriedly threw the thing rolled up in the toilet cloth to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin: “…”
Zheng Yuan: "This has nothing to do with me. I know nothing about it."
Qin Xin opened it and glanced at the things: "Whether it is relevant or not depends on your acting skills?"
"What do you mean?" Zheng Yuan wanted to ask again, but Qin Xin had already flashed and disappeared in front of him.
Zheng Yuan was sweating profusely and breathing heavily. Only then did he feel a little more alive.

In Rouxi Palace, Concubine Rou slammed the table after listening to what Eunuch Hai said.
"We were all fooled!"
Eunuch Hai and Long Dong were stunned: "Madam, the Princess of Changning has been under our noses from beginning to end, how could it be possible..."
Concubine Rou was in no mood to explain: "Go find that guard captain and search his room thoroughly!"
"Shuangxue, take some people and bring Shen Shuyi back to me!"
"Long Dong, lead your men directly to the palace gate. If Shuang Xue fails to catch up, you will stop Shen Shuyi. Make sure to stop her before she leaves the palace."
"Yes!"
After the group left, Lipin couldn't help but say, "We were actually fooled by that Shen Shuyi!"
Concubine Rou raised her eyes and looked at her, her innocent eyes like a white rabbit were now full of gloom.
Lipin covered the blood on her forehead, sat back in her chair, and dared not speak again.
Concubine Rou felt upset.
Concubine Li was able to reach her current position and she was not a fool. But just because of a few words from Shen Shuyi, she turned away from me.
Tsk, this Princess Changning is really good at guessing and calculating people's hearts.

Shen Shuyi took Jinzhu and others around the palace for a few rounds, which made the eunuch who was watching them confused.
Concubine Rou had many spies in the palace, but Shen Shuyi had appeared in so many places that the young eunuch had no idea where Shen Shuyi was, so he had to write down every place she had been to.
Seeing Shen Shuyi stopped in front of the gate of Qiuwu Palace again, the little eunuch frowned and hid under a cluster of bushes, watching the situation.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fell straight down.
Jianpo kicked him twice to try, and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he nodded at Shen Shuyi.
This palace is not her territory, and it is not easy to take things out under Concubine Rou's nose, so she has to put in some effort.
Without his spies, Shen Shuyi took a few people and headed straight for Chonghua Palace.
The owner of Chonghua Palace is the current Empress Xiangfei. Empress Xiang stays indoors all year round, so she can only come to pay a visit.
When Shen Shuyi arrived, Qin Xin was already waiting there.
Meeting Shen Shuyi's gaze, Qin Xin nodded slightly and immediately asked someone to knock on the door.
Not long after, a young eunuch came out and looked Shen Shuyi up and down.
"Please tell Her Majesty that Princess Changning wants to see her." Yuping said in a friendly manner.
"Come in, the queen has instructed that if you come to the door, you will be welcomed directly in."
"Thank you, eunuch." Shen Shuyi understood and thought that it was the white jade that played a role.
Following the young eunuch into Chonghua Palace, Shen Shuyi looked around calmly.
The Chonghua Palace has a simple and profound temperament, which is very different from the styles of the palaces of Concubine Rou and Concubine Li.
But although it is heavy, it does not appear luxurious. Instead, it has a sense of leisure and comfort as if living in seclusion from the world.
Shen Shuyi stopped in front of a towering tree and couldn't help but stop.
The tree is so thick that it takes four or five people to hug it. It must be a phoenix tree. Now in the cold winter, only dead branches are left, but it is not difficult to imagine how lush and green it must have been when it was in full bloom.
The young eunuch did not urge him until Shen Shuyi looked away, then he smiled and explained: "This tree was there before the queen entered the palace, a little earlier. Our queen chose Chonghua Palace because of this tree."
"The branches are strong and vigorous, and now covered with frost and snow, they look even more majestic and beautiful." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.
