Chapter 502 Guaranteed Profit without Loss

"That day, Xie Jingchi and I were being chased and fell off a cliff into the river. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to climb out in time."

Shen Shuyi fell into reminiscence, and then said: "After that, Chai Bin led his men to catch up with me. I was exhausted, so I hid in a patch of dry grass..."

"It was at that moment that one of Chai Bin's companions drew his knife and stabbed him."

Hearing this, Lipin interrupted sharply: "This is impossible!"

Shen Shuyi looked at her with clear eyes: "Then your majesty, who do you think can kill Master Chai, me or Master Xie?"

Concubine Li was choked at the moment.

That’s right, the two people who were assassinated are alive and well, but none of those who were sent out have returned. This is really strange!

"Then what about the others besides my brother?" asked Lipin, while staring at Shen Shuyi's expression, trying to get a clue from her look.

Shen Shuyi said: "When several men in black saw Lord Chai being killed, they immediately became alert, and then I saw the group of people who caught up with us started killing each other."

Lipin frowned tightly: "So they are all dead?"

"Of course not, but I saw that those people who seemed to be in the same group as Master Chai were all killed."

"Where are the others?" Lipin asked.

"I don't know. They continued to search for Xie Jingchi and me, but I was not far from the scene of the incident, so they didn't find me." Shen Shuyi lied without changing his expression.

It's a competition of who can talk more nonsense.

"Do you know that person is Chai Bin?" Lipin continued to ask.

Shen Shuyi said: "I didn't know it at the time, but I recognized his voice. After those people left, I walked up to him and pulled off his veil."

"He was dead?"

Shen Shuyi shook his head: "He held his breath, his eyes bulged, his pupils dilated, full of reluctance."

"After I went over, he struggled to say something, but unfortunately he only managed to utter a few words."

When Lipin heard this, her heart tightened: "What are you talking about?"

Shen Shuyi said: "Suo Rong, Xiao Heyu..."

"Gone?"

"No more." Shen Shuyi replied.

As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence. Lipin fell back into her chair, seeming to digest the news that had come to her in such a short time.

Is it really the Third Prince who wants the Chai family to take the blame?

Who is the most suitable person to take the blame? Of course, the dead!

But if what Shen Shuyi said was not true, how would she know Suo Rong?

If she remembered correctly, Lu Qian was already seriously injured before he fell off the cliff that day.

So if it was Xiao Heyu's order, then the one who would take action would definitely be Suo Rong.

These are all correct...

Concubine Li didn't say anything, so Shen Shuyi admired the flowers on the side. The ground dragon in Lihua Palace was burning very warmly, and a charcoal basin was also added.

These flowers, carefully grown in the greenhouse, add a touch of green to the cold winter and are a rare sight of spring.

Of course, she didn't really care whether Lipin and the Chai family believed it or not.

What she wanted was for the Chai family to become wary of Xiao Heyu and Concubine Rou.

Once the Chai family becomes wary, they will try every means to protect themselves, or in other words, they will try every means to restrain Xiao Heyu and not let themselves become abandoned.

The key here is the account book of their idle salaries in Concubine Rou's hand.

Lipin knew the existence of this account book, and this was exactly what she wanted.

But it was too difficult for him to get the account book from Concubine Rou. However, it would be much easier if the person was replaced by her confidant, Concubine Li.

At this moment, Lipin suddenly slammed her hand on the table and sneered, "This is simply nonsense! Princess Changning, you are so bold!"

After she finished speaking, Lipin stared at Shen Shuyi's expression, trying to see a hint of panic on her face.

Unfortunately, she was still disappointed.

Shen Shuyi looked calm, without any panic of being exposed or discovered.

This made Lipin's heart sink, and she became more and more unsure whether what she said was true or false.

Shen Shuyi chuckled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can just pretend I didn't say anything. If it weren't for these two boxes of pearls and jade, I really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess. After all, whether the Chai family lives or dies is none of my business."

After saying this, Shen Shuyi said bluntly: "If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Concubine Li looked at Shen Shuyi's back and was speechless for a long time.

This Princess Changning is so arrogant!

But what she said...if it is true...

Lipin's heart suddenly sank, and she immediately asked her trusted maid, "Is mother in the palace now? Send her a message and tell her that I want to see her."

"Yes."

When Shen Shuyi left, it had already darkened.

The white palace reflected the setting sun, as if it was covered with a layer of golden light. The red and golden light and shadows were particularly beautiful.

Not long after walking away, Shen Shuyi met Xie Jingchi.

Xie Jingchi was wearing a navy blue brocade robe and had a thin figure. He was standing by the lake watching Xiao Hongyan playing.

Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Xiao Hongyan was still digging fish.

Looking at the smooth and shiny ice surface, it is impossible to tell how many pits have been dug.

There seemed to be a few fish in the bucket carried by the young eunuch nearby.

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but smile as she looked at Xiao Hongyan's cheeks that had turned as red as apples from the cold.

Xie Jingchi didn't look at her, but he seemed to know she was coming: "If he keeps digging like this, he will bury himself in it sooner or later."

Shen Shuyi also laughed: "But if he takes this fish to show his filial piety and courtesy to His Majesty, His Majesty will surely feel very sorry for him."

Xie Jingchi seemed to be thinking about something, then turned to look at Shen Shuyi: "Does the county lady like this?"

Shen Shuyi didn't understand what he meant for a moment: "What?"

Xie Jingchi said slowly: "I was wondering if I should go dig some fish as well."

Shen Shuyi wrapped her cloak around her body and said slowly, "Master Xie, it would be better for you to be content. I don't want all my efforts these days to go to waste."

During this period of time, Shen Shuyi has kept his promise and has been helping Xie Jingchi to take care of his body.

Now when I hear that he is going to dig fish, I really want to kick him into the lake.

Xie Jingchi smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

Shen Shuyi looked at the fish in Xiao Hongyan's bucket and thought that it would be great if he could drink a bowl of hot fish soup in such cold weather.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but shout: "Your Highness, are you selling this fish?"

Xiao Hongyan heard the noise and answered without even looking up: "For sale! Freshly caught fish, guaranteed to be plump!"

"I want two." Shen Shuyi replied.

When he heard that there was a business opportunity, Xiao Hongyan immediately became excited and ran towards Shen Shuyi with the bucket in his hand.

But when he saw who it was, Xiao Hongyan's pink face immediately fell.

"Why are you two here?"

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why is His Majesty the Twelfth Prince unhappy? But how have I ever offended His Majesty?"

Xiao Hongyan waved his hand generously: "Forget it, forget it. It's just that every time I see you two, I never make any money!"

Shen Shuyi said immediately: "Today, I will make sure that Your Highness will make a profit without any loss."

After that, Shen Shuyi took out the white jade that the girl had stuffed into her hand at the hunting ground: "I will use this jade pendant to exchange for two fish for Your Highness."
