Chapter 424: Encounter with Miss Shen
Xie Hefan nodded in agreement. Then he turned to look at Jiang Yimo and asked, "What should we do now?"
Jiang Yimo pondered for a moment and replied, "We must pay close attention to the movements of Prince You's Mansion to ensure that she does not pose a threat to us."
Feng Wuhen paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, we can also use this opportunity to further understand the main purpose of Princess You's return to the city this time."
"This prince guesses that she came back not only for Feng Jinghang this time, but also for other purposes."
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo and Xie Hefan both expressed their agreement with his idea.
Afterwards, Feng Wuhen said, "We should split up for the next two days. Momo and I will go and observe Eunuch Li's every move in the palace."
"Master Xie, please continue to keep an eye on Prince You's Mansion."
When Feng Wuhen proposed this, Xie Hefan actually agreed readily.
The next morning, just after daybreak, Feng Wuhen went to the palace early to attend the morning court.
Today is the first morning court after the old emperor rehabilitated Concubine Rou’s mother and her husband’s coma. As an important son of the emperor, Feng Wuhen must go in person.
However, Jiang Yimo did not have any particularly important matters to deal with today.
Therefore, after breakfast, she decided to take Qingzhu and Qingnuan to stroll around the street, buy some food and various gadgets, and also inquire about the news about King Kang.
But since Concubine Rou died and Prince Kang disappeared, the old emperor and the evil king had turned the entire imperial city upside down, but still could not find any trace of Prince Kang. Perhaps, Prince Kang had already left the imperial city.
But in any case, King Kang is a potential threat and must be found as soon as possible.
If this cancer is not eradicated, he will continue to threaten the status of the old emperor and the evil king.
It was a rare leisure day today, so Jiang Yimo took her two maids to stroll on the bustling streets, enjoying the lively scene around them.
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from behind, calling them.
"Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, wait for me." The voice was so clear and pleasant that people couldn't help but look back.
When Jiang Yimo heard the voice, she immediately turned around and saw the eldest daughter of the Shen family running towards her quickly with a smile on her face.
"Ms. Shen, don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Jiang Yimo said hurriedly, worried that she would fall.
Miss Shen was running out of breath, but her face was still filled with a happy smile.
"Miss Jiang, where have you been recently? I went to the Evil King's Mansion several times to play with you, but you were not there."
"I went out to do some work. I'm free today, so we can play together." Jiang Yimo replied with a smile.
"Okay!" Miss Shen nodded readily, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Then she continued, "I know there's a new dim sum shop just opened up ahead. Their dim sum is especially delicious. Let's buy some and eat at the teahouse while we watch the show and chat."
"Okay!" Jiang Yimo agreed happily. She is always interested in food and entertainment.
So, the two of them took their three maids to the dim sum shop to buy delicious dim sum, and then went to the teahouse together to enjoy a leisurely time.
Today's teahouse is as lively as usual, with crowds of people coming in one after another.
Some sat at the table, leisurely sipping tea; some selected delicious snacks from the snack stalls nearby; others gathered together, enjoying the wonderful opera performances on the stage or listening to interesting storytelling.
In this bustling and noisy environment, Jiang Yimo and Miss Shen, under the enthusiastic guidance of the teahouse owner, came to a spacious and comfortable booth and sat down.
Jiang Yimo looked at everything around her, feeling the unique cultural atmosphere of this era.
She seldom goes to places like teahouses, but they are good places to get information.
At this time, there was an old scholar on the stage telling a story with great passion.
His voice was rhythmic, full of emotion and power.
He used vivid language to describe the plot, which made the audience in the audience mesmerized and as if they were part of the story.
The old scholar's movements also became lively as his emotions changed. Sometimes he danced and sometimes he looked nervous, which made people fall in love with him.
After a while, Miss Shen and the three maids she brought with her were all listening attentively.
They were completely immersed in the story and forgot everything around them.
Miss Shen's face was filled with tears of emotion, while the three maids clenched their fists tightly, worried about the fate of the protagonist.
At this moment, Jiang Yimo suddenly thought of a way to make money.
I also listened to the storytelling carefully.
The old scholar on the stage was telling a tragic love story between a poor scholar and a young lady from a wealthy family. His story was so vivid and tear-jerking.
This story deeply touched the softest part of people's hearts, triggering their thinking and pursuit of true love.
At the same time, it also shows the complexity of human nature and the cruel reality of society, allowing people to feel the helplessness and sadness in life.
After listening to the storytelling, the next thing to start was opera. Jiang Yimo and the others listened for a while and felt a little bored, so they started chatting about gossip.
As Miss Shen chatted with her, they talked about the daughter of the prime minister.
"Miss Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu is getting married."
Miss Shen suddenly revealed such shocking news.
Jiang Yimo was surprised and asked curiously, "Why would she get married so suddenly?"
"Miss Jiang, don't you know? Yesterday, the Prime Minister was found to have had close contact with the traitor King Kang. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that the Prime Minister and King Kang were in collusion, the Emperor still threw the Prime Minister into prison."
"However, he was soon rescued by King You."
Jiang Yimo was not surprised to hear the news. A man with such evil ambitions as the prime minister would eventually meet with misfortune.
"Miss Jiang, aren't you curious about who the daughter of the prime minister will marry?"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yimo laughed and asked casually: "Who is she going to marry?"
"King You, she is going to be your concubine." Miss Shen revealed another shocking news.
Jiang Yimo was surprised again.
“Are you surprised?”
"Yeah, I'm really surprised."
There was a flash of surprise in Jiang Yimo's eyes. She really didn't expect that the noble and arrogant eldest lady who was determined to get the Evil King would choose such a path to rescue her father.
If King You can be the father of the young lady of the Xiangfu, will she be willing to marry an old man?
"Miss Jiang, the more shocking thing is yet to come. It is said that she asked for this marriage. In order to rescue her father, she took the initiative to find King You."
"What?" Jiang Yimo was completely shocked. She stared at Miss Shen with wide eyes, "How could she..."
"She probably did this to rescue the Prime Minister." Miss Shen said, "But I didn't expect that such a selfish person like her would make such a big sacrifice. The officials and nobles in the entire imperial city all know that the Prime Minister's daughter admires the evil king, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed until now and refused to get married."
