The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 81 The Flaws of the Mask

Feng Yao woke up in the evening, he was in good spirits, but he couldn't get up because he still had a fever.Sitting on the side of the bed, she asked Lu Luo, "Have the guards in the mansion returned?"

Lu Luo replied: "Two came back, saying that the snow outside the city covered the tracks on the road. I took a few people out of the city to look for them."

Feng Yao gritted his teeth secretly, and ordered: "Send someone to look in other directions."

"The manager has already sent someone there. I just dare not search for it, for fear of alarming others." Luluo knew that this matter was big or small, and it was related to the princess's face, so naturally she couldn't say anything about it.

Feng Yao nodded, his body was so sore that he had to lie down again.Zi Ying had already brought ginseng soup, but Feng Yao shook his head and refused to eat it.In the end, Lan'er blended a cup of honey and fed Feng Yao half a cup.

"Princess, you can't hide it like this, not to mention returning to Ning tomorrow is a big deal." Lu Luo quietly said to Feng Yao while Ziying and Lan'er were out.

"I know." Feng Yao's voice was extremely soft, as if there was still a rale in his throat.After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, instead of sleeping, he was thinking about something.

Luluo stood by and did not dare to disturb her.

After a while, Fengyao called Luluo: "Go and have a look at Moli's small pavilion."

Lu Luo promised to go immediately.He came back after a while, and said, "Everything is here. The clothes and shoes made before the wedding are all neatly arranged. There are still bank notes in the cabinet, and there are broken silver in the drawer of the desk."

Feng Yao asked again: "What about the things before the big wedding? Did you not bring them here, or did you take them away?"

"Probably stayed in the old house on West Street and didn't bring it over. But the guard said that the son-in-law was carrying a food box when he left the mansion. The butler said that the son-in-law would walk out of the city, why did he not see anyone?" Luluo also felt strange, Mo How far can you run away from that slender body?Why did the guards ride out of the city without finding them.

Feng Yao opened his eyes, his eyes sparkled, and he said to Lu Luo: "Tell the housekeeper to find a way to close the city gate early. Also, look for the government office in the capital, and find a reason to go door-to-door to find people."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yao pointed to his makeup box and asked Luluo to bring it over, found a small gold medal in it, and handed it to Luluo.

When Lu Luo saw the two-inch square gold medal carved with a phoenix pattern, she immediately took Feng Yao's hand and said softly: "Princess, this is something left by the empress, you can't take it out easily."

Feng Yao shook his head and said with a sneer: "It's okay, just give the government a certificate, not ask them to execute orders. Besides, just looking for someone secretly, just find any excuse. If you ask the housekeeper to bring more money, you can always seal a few mouths. "

After hearing this, Lu Luo was slightly relieved.Put away the gold medal carefully, and said to Feng Yao: "Why don't I change into my clothes and go with the manager?"

"Alright, you will carry the gold medal." Feng Yao nodded, feeling that it was safer.

Only then did Lu Luo turn around and go out.Before leaving, he called Lan Er and Zi Ying over, and told them to guard the princess.

After Luluo left, she didn't come back until late at night.Wearing a blue-gray cotton skirt, with a blue kerchief wrapped around her head, the makeup on her face has been washed off, and there is no same hairpin and ring jewelry. At first glance, she looks like a little woman from a poor family.

But in this way, as long as they are not absolutely familiar with people, they will not recognize her as Luluo, the first-class court lady next to Princess Yunhe.

Luluo gave Lan'er a wink, Lan'er immediately understood, went out with Zi Ying, and closed the door.

Feng Yao then stood up and asked Lu Luo with his eyes.

Lu Luo exchanged the gold medal to Feng Yao, then lowered her voice and said, "Princess, the four gates are closed an hour earlier than usual. The governor said that the capital city has been plagued by rats recently, so the officers and soldiers went door-to-door to check the rat holes, and distributed rat-fighting Even the rice jars and cellars have been turned over. It's just... no one is there."

Check for rats?Nobody!It was also fortunate that the governor of the capital could come up with such an excuse.But it can indeed solve Feng Yao's doubts.

But in this way, Feng Yao's thinking that Mo Li is still hiding in the capital doesn't make sense.

Feng Yao remained silent for a while, thinking silently.Luluo also quietly watched by the side.

Until Fengyao raised his head again, he asked Luluo, "Are those two rabbit masks still there? One was sent by Buli, and the other was bought on the street during the Autumn Festival."

"Ah? Yes. I'll look for it." Lu Luo was taken aback by Feng Yao's question, and really couldn't figure out why the princess suddenly thought of this thing.Is it because the concubine is gone, the princess wants to see things and think about others?But looking at Feng Yao's eyes, it doesn't look like that either.

Luluo searched on the dressing table, then rummaged in the suitcase, and finally found three masks in the drawer under the cabinet.Two white rabbits and one wolf's head were brought to Feng Yao.

Feng Yao took the mask to have a look, then put the two white rabbit masks together, then asked Luluo: "What can you see?"

Luluo grinned in embarrassment.After taking the two masks and comparing them carefully, after looking again and again, he still shook his head: "I don't see any difference."

Feng Yao smiled: "That's right. These two masks should come from the same shop, or they should be made by the same person, so they are exactly the same."

"Ah? What does the princess mean..." Lu Luo was still puzzled.

But Feng Yao urged: "Immediately order the manager to take people to this shop that sells masks, and bring back both the mask seller and the mask maker."

To arrest people in the middle of the night can only be done under the orders of the princess.In less than a meal, the manager personally reported back: "Back to the princess, the shop selling lanterns and masks has changed hands, and now it is a pancake shop. However, people have also brought back."

Feng Yao took a deep breath and sneered.He ordered: "Okay, let him go. Give me more money."

Wait until the manager takes the order and leaves.Luluo was surprised and said, "Princess, why didn't you ask me? What does the mask seller have to do with the son-in-law?"

Feng Yao looked at the three masks placed on the table, feeling pain in his heart.I hate myself for being negligent for a moment, not noticing such a big flaw.

Suppressing his anger, Feng Yao said: "Since the two white rabbit masks come from the same shop, it proves that Mo Li went to this shop before. When we went that day, the shop owner clearly said that his masks are all There is only one mask, and this wolf head mask has been ordered, so it is not for sale.”

"Yeah, maybe Mo Lima made it here specially, and I just waited until the Mid-Autumn Festival to pick it up." Luluo felt that Mo Li wanted to buy a mask, which meant nothing.

Feng Yao lost his mind for a while, as if he was carefully recalling the scene of that day.

Although Lu Luo was eager to know the reason, she didn't dare to press her.I had to wait patiently.

Until Feng Yao sighed, showing a helpless wry smile, as if talking to himself: "That wolf-headed mask is just a cover."
