Seeing that Xue Chen's expression was wrong, the eldest princess looked at her and asked, "It's Li Da, what's wrong?"

Xue Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "I remember his wife is the eldest daughter of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Pavilion?" Xue Chen had no choice but to say this from this aspect. Fortunately, the eldest princess was not a sensitive person, and she did not see Xue Chen's previous distractedness. She nodded and said, "That's right, it's her."

"Oh, I just said it sounds familiar. I remember she followed Li Da to the outside of the pass at that time? Why did Li Da come back suddenly?"

The incident of the legitimate son of Zhongyi being sent outside the pass was also a hot topic in the capital back then. It was probably what happened in the two years when Lou Qingyun went to Zhuozhou. Xue Chen was thinking about Lou Qingyun. He had only heard of these things and had not learned about the inside story. Now he was reminded by the eldest princess and remembered to ask questions.

The eldest princess replied, "Oh, he was originally stationed outside the pass, but recently Duke Zhongyi's health has been getting worse every year. At the beginning of the year, he had been sick for a long time. Li Dadi was the eldest son and grandson, and he always had to serve the sick around him. Duke Zhongyi asked the emperor's order for him and asked him to come back."

"So that's it." Xue Chen expressed his understanding, and the eldest princess continued: "In the past, Li Da's child was making trouble in Beijing all day long. Now after staying outside the pass for a few years, he is much more stable. I heard that he has made merits outside the pass, so he also valued it. After he came back, he gave him a post in the Ministry of Justice."

Xue Chen didn't know Li Da very well, but he still had a good impression of his character. After Lou Qingyun died, he became the Minister of Dali Temple. People in the capital were panicked for a while, because the various Zhaozhu he and He Yuanqu were concocted, which scared the court officials. However, Xue Chen's impression of him was nothing more than that.

The person around Li Da is He Yuanqu. If He Yuanqu is He Zhou, it means that he has not been able to go to the second prince to be accomplices of the tiger. Song Antang recently contacted him, probably because he wanted to borrow He Zhou's east wind. If he and He Zhou were led by him, if Song Antang told He Zhou something that had happened, maybe he could really subvert something and cause immeasurable trouble.

As the two were talking, Xun Ge'er was sent back by Madam Jin. He rode on Madam Jin's back and ate the fragrant cake proudly. When he saw Xue Chen, he opened his hand to her. Madam Jin didn't dare to send Madam Xun Ge'er to Xue Chen's hand, so he hurriedly squatted down and put Madam Xun Ge'er on the ground. Madam Xun rushed to Xue Chen's arms. Xue Chen sat and hugged him on his lap, rubbed the pastry beside him, and asked:

"Are you naughty? Have you made the old lady angry?"

Brother Xun glanced at Madam Jin, shook her head as a tiny ghost, and said, "No! The old lady likes Brother Xun."

The sound of the slutty voice made everyone present laugh. Brother Xun slid down from Xue Chen's legs, stared at her eyes and circled on Xue Chen's still flat belly. After a long time, he asked: "Mom, are there any little brothers in your belly?"

Xue Chen laughed and stroked his chubby cheeks and said, "How did you know it's a little brother, maybe it's a little sister."

Brother Xun stared at him for a while, then shook his head decisively: "Don't want little sister, I want little brothers, and many little brothers."

The eldest princess summoned Xun Ge'er over, hugged him and asked, "How many younger brothers do you want from Brother Xun Ge'er?"

Brother Xun blinked and thought for a while before speaking, "Well, it's a lot."

This sentence made the eldest princess laugh so much that she nodded repeatedly, and said, "Oh, okay, just listen to Brother Xun, let your parents give birth to many little brothers for you, okay?"

"good."

Brother Xun nodded seriously, his eyes were full of energy. Xue Chen was amused and laughed and said to the eldest princess: "Mom, you can also joke with me."

The eldest princess smiled and asked to her, "By the way, what did you say when the imperial physician came to take the pulse last time? Did you say that you would come again in half a month? Calculate it, it should be here in the past two days, right?"

Madam Jin also helped Xue Chen calculate the life, and said, "It should be tomorrow, and the old lady counts the life. She said that she has always dreamed of pomegranates recently, which is a good omen. I will remember the life."

“…”

Several people talked about the topic of these women's homes for a while, and Xue Chen and Xun Ge'er swinged in the yard for a while before returning to Canglan Garden.

After thinking for a while in the study, I sent someone to call Yan Luodong back and ordered him: "Send some more personnel to stare at Changning Hou and the man named He Zhou, especially He Zhou. I want to know who he has met and done recently."

Yan Luodong glanced at Xue Chen strangely, and then replied dutifully: "Madam, I have asked Gu Chao to check this Hezhou before, but you didn't ask too much, so I didn't say much."

When Xue Chen heard this, he really asked, "What did you find out? You tell me now, be sure to do everything in detail."

Yan Luodong didn't know why Xue Chen was suddenly interested in this person. It was because he was serious about his work that he didn't even let go of such a small place. He immediately said:

"This person is from Yuanqu. I said before that he is from Yangzhou. He came to the capital half a year ago. He was in the name of the Master of Dongling Academy. However, he had never paid the tuition and had never attended classes in the academy. He lived in the fragrant house all day long. About a month ago, he made friends with some playboys, including Changning Hou. After learning about his name, Changning Hou was very respectful to him. The two soon got together. Among those playboys, there was another named Du Feng, who introduced He Zhou to others."

Hearing this, Xue Chen couldn't help but interrupt Yan Luodong and said, "I've introduced it to Li Da, right?"

He looked at Xue Chen in surprise, Yan Luodong nodded and said, "Yes. Du Feng introduced him to Prince Zhongyi Li Da. Li Da appreciates He Zhou's knowledge. These days, He Zhou lived in the Mansion of Zhongyi as a disciple, and went in and out with Li Da, but he was just doing some errands, which was no different from a servant."

Xue Chen thought for a while and it seemed that although He Zhou had been with Li Da, he had not shown his strength yet. Therefore, Li Da had not yet used him, and said to Yan Luodong:

"Is there anything else? Where has Li Da been to recently?"

"I'll go investigate now, and the results will be obtained soon."

Yan Luodong helped Xue Chen do things for so many years and had already built his own intelligence network. His people were distributed in the streets and alleys of the capital. Xue Chen would allocate a considerable amount of money to his security office every month to provide him with a special way to expand his connections. The methods he used were actually exactly the same as the Jinyiwei, but they were not as secret and dangerous as the Jinyiwei. What they were inquiring about was more of a matter of family matters, but they were professional enough. Therefore, as long as Xue Chen wanted to know, Yan Luodong could give her answer quickly, and it was not just empty words.

But two hours later, before the sun set, he came back to report his life.

"Li Da recently preferred to go to a private house. That private house is like the woman I asked me to investigate in the past. There are secret guards around the private house. Those who live in the private house must be high-ranking officials, and may be higher than high-ranking officials."

Xue Chen couldn't help asking, "It's higher than a high-ranking official, what is that?" Although he had already guessed in his heart, Xue Chen still hoped to hear it clearly from Yan Luodong's mouth.

"Royal son. Because, I have secretly seen a dark yellow carded ear tied to the waist of a secret guard. That ear can only be used by the guards in the palace. Since it can leave the palace, it means that the people in the house must have a great background. But after all, our people are just what I trained later. If they face them head-on, they will inevitably suffer a great loss, so I did not rashly order to spy on it."

"Since you have guessed the identity of the person inside, you should not act rashly."

Yan Luodong's inference is very reasonable, and Xue Chen did not ask him to continue. Based on these situations, Xue Chen could almost conclude that the person in the house was the second prince, and Li Da has now joined the second prince and has a joint base outside the palace. What they talked about in this base is Xue Chen unknown, and he did not want Yan Luodong and others to continue taking risks. After spying on Liu Yan and almost exposed Yan Luodong and others, Xue Chen gave an order to them. Next time he met this kind of person again, don't go deeper if he could go deeper, and everything was the overall situation of being able to escape freely.

After Yan Luo went east, Xue Chen continued to think in the study that the second prince, Li Da and He Yuanqu were the main culprits of the civil strife later. Now that Li Da had just returned to Beijing, he had not had time to do anything, and the second prince did not trust him that way, let alone He Yuanqu, let alone Li Da's trust, let alone the second prince, this is the only place to be grateful for, but it is also something that makes Xue Chen worry.

Because if Li Da and He Yuanqu want to gain the trust of the second prince, they will have to make some achievements in a short period of time. What will they do so that the second prince can believe in them and believe in Youjia?

When Lou Qingyun came back from outside, he saw Xue Chen frowning in the study and writing something. When he walked over, he saw her lying on the table and painting landscape paintings. He circled Xue Chen from behind and said, "Are you painting landscapes? Don't you like to draw flowers, birds, insects and fish? I'm interested today."

Xue Chen broke free from his arms and suddenly asked Lou Qingyun seriously:

"In a few days, will you go to the Xishan Palace with the prince and the emperor?"

There were military camps stationed on the West Mountain, with imperial power directly under the power of 30,000 people. Therefore, the emperor was very fond of this force and would go to West Mountain to inspect it every two months. Generally speaking, Lou Qingyun was accompanied. This was the result of Xue Chen thinking about it for an afternoon. When he saw Lou Qingyun, he couldn't wait to verify with him.

Lou Qingyun stared at Xue Chen with his eyes and wondered: "How do you know?"

Xue Chen felt cold and said to himself: Sure enough.

He pulled Lou Qingyun to the table and pointed to the piece of paper spread out on the table. Lou Qingyun wondered: "What are you painting? Isn't it a landscape?"

Xue Chen shook his head and said, "It's not the landscape, it's the terrain. I painted it on the Xishan County Chronicle. Can you tell what kind of mountain this is?"

Lou Qingyun looked at it for a long time before suddenly saying, "You can see that the only way to Xiangtrus Hill, the West Mountain Villa, why did you suddenly draw this?"

After taking a deep breath, Xue Chen looked out and saw that there was no one outside. After confirming that there was no one, he came to Lou Qingyun's ear and said:

"If I tell you, this mountain will collapse in a few days, do you believe it?"
