Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

It's raining.

Shen Lewei was dragged to the bushes at the northwest corner of the East Palace before she could rest. As she stumbled, the hem of her dress was torn by messy branches, and some of the thorny branches even scratched her skin, causing bursts of pain.

No one will be in a good mood.

Shen Lewei gritted his teeth and broke free from the opponent's restraint, frowned and rubbed his red wrist, complaining, "What are you doing? You really don't want to help your brother who is addicted to gambling pay off his gambling debts, do you? Little cook, I told you You, this lady, keep your word, if you don’t help me, I will have your brother’s fingers chopped off tonight!”

Shen Lewei didn't know the little cook's last name either. Auntie Donggong called her "Xiao Xin". As for this younger brother...it was only through some strange combination of circumstances that he found out that Xiao Xin had a younger brother who was addicted to gambling. She was detained in a gambling house. If she had to help her brother pay off his gambling debts, the little girl would not come here to be a slave. The rest... Shen Lewei didn't know.But it doesn't matter, as long as she expresses in a subtle way that she has Xiaoxin's handle and is willing to help her pay off the gambling debts after the incident is completed, the little girl who is afraid of the secret being exposed will naturally easily become "one of her own" and be at the mercy of Shen Lewei.

Sure enough, the little girl who was angry just now suddenly died down. She lowered her head and explained in a low voice, "I...I'm just worried that you will be exposed. I heard from grandma...that the guards in His Royal Highness's study are all his personal guards." , is the most powerful person in the East Palace, and has the right to kill first and report later. If they think there is something wrong with you, they will kill you and me tonight, and no one will blame them tomorrow..."

Shen Le was slightly startled, she really didn't know this... At this moment, when she heard someone say it, she felt cold sweat running down her back. Afterwards, she felt that she had really walked through the gate of hell.

"really……?"

Xiaoxin nodded vigorously, "Yes. Last time I went to clean up the dishes with my grandma, I gave you all the instructions."

That must be true.

Shen Lewei suddenly felt a sense of fear, and when he looked at the little girl in front of him, he suddenly felt a little dazed.She had taken so many soothing herbs just because she wanted the "two people" to fall asleep after eating them so that she could go in and investigate. As for after detecting them, would she take them away quietly or pretend to be as if nothing had happened and not notice it? Looking for another chance to figure it out...she really didn't think about it.

However, at the Shen family at that time, Shen Luoxin's head got hot after the heated exchange of words. Now she was blown away by the cold wind and threatened by the little girl's words. She had already retreated... but she heard Xiao Xin say again. , "Second Miss, you are also impulsive, and the Prince is not a fool. He will definitely notice it when he wakes up tomorrow. What should we do then?"

Yes, what should I do?
"I, I..." Shen Lewei looked like he was about to cry, "I don't know what to do..."

That night, even from the beginning of making black bone chicken soup, this heart has always been hanging. Up to this moment, it is like a string that has been broken for too long and has long lost its due elasticity. At this moment, Shen Lewei's mind is even more... There was a blank, and cold sweat ran up her back. She could only instinctively follow the thoughts of others.

Xiaoxin frowned in deep thought, and after a long while, she clapped her hands together, as if she was cruel, "In this way, Second Young Lady, you can't escape the punishment from His Highness the Crown Prince, but we can't compensate Madam again." After a lot of hard work, you will come up empty-handed, right?" "I..."

"Second Miss, since we are on the same boat now, you should not hide some things from me. I will not play riddles with you anymore. I know why you are doing this. If it were me, I would be angry too. This Chaoyun is not as good-looking as you, not as young as you, and even in terms of status, she is far behind you. If she didn't know how to be charming, how could His Highness fall in love with her? Second Miss, do you think so?"

"Yes, yes... that's the truth!" Shen Lewei suddenly "came to his senses", "It's just... I don't know where she is, and His Highness hid her very well."

Xiaoxin sneered in her heart, could she hide it well?That's his trump card in Fengchenju's hands at the moment!

He was thinking this in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all. He just nodded and analyzed to himself, "Since our new love... is not hidden by my side, it is hidden outside... After all, Chaoyun's identity cannot be shown on the stage, and now Feng Chen Ju has been accused of such a crime by His Highness. If His Highness wants to keep her by his side openly, he can only wait until this matter is over and change her name and identity... If so, Second Miss, that is your chance. Got it!"

"My, my chance?" Shen Lewei has completely lost the ability to think. He only feels that the little girl in front of him is absolutely right, but he can't tell where. In short, it is right.

"Isn't this your chance!" Xiao Xin whispered, her expression beaming with excitement, "Think about it, since His Highness has been living outside, His Highness has been staying in the study these past few days. Obviously, he has never gone to see him. Chaoyun, it's probably to avoid suspicion. Isn't it a good thing for you that the two of them don't meet? If you find her and drive her away quietly, won't you still be the only mistress in this East Palace? Everything Nothing has changed, at least who in Yanjing City doesn’t know that after the Crown Princess, you will be the only female family member next to the Crown Prince?"

Right!

Xiaoxin was still persuading, "The prince is the crown prince after all. He will inherit the throne in the future, and there cannot be only one woman by his side. Second Miss, you must know this, and naturally you won't say that you don't tolerate magnanimity... It's just, Why should Chaoyun do it? If she relies on her charming spirit to seduce His Highness the Crown Prince into letting her dominate in the backyard of the East Palace, then not only you but also servants like this servant will be fine. Life is going well, don’t you think?”

indeed so!Shen Lewei nodded repeatedly, thinking that no wonder this little girl changed her attitude in the East Palace, and her feelings were for her own comfortable life in the future!
Since this is the case, it actually has a little more credibility.But... she sighed softly, "How can we find Chaoyun? Even if he is living outside, His Highness has several villas outside the city, not to mention there are houses in the city. Not to mention we don't know how many there are. Even if you know it, it would be troublesome to investigate... Besides, it might be kept in an inn somewhere."

Xiaoxin raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking that the second young lady looked silly, but she didn't expect to be so clear-headed at the critical moment.She waved her hand and said, "Second Miss, have you forgotten where this slave is on duty?"

dining room.

"But so what?" Shen Lewei didn't understand... At first, she concluded that Chaoyun was in the study based on the strangeness mentioned by the maid in the kitchen, but now she found that this was not the case.
