Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 85 Secretly Go
Curiosity killed the cat, and she always kept away from things she couldn't listen to, so as not to catch fire.

Xiao Rongxi was still considering whether to avoid her or not, but now seeing her calmly say to leave, he waved his hand to signal her to go out without any reluctance.

When the door was closed again, Zhang Dian said with a smile, "Your Majesty treats Empress Li very differently."

At least he has known the person in front of him for many years, and he has never seen anyone he left to practice calligraphy in the imperial study, let alone teach him personally.

When I glanced at the door just now, I was really scared.

Xiao Rongxi didn't deny or admit it, and continued the previous topic, "What do you mean by staying in Pengcheng?"

"Before Prince Chen returned to Beijing, he secretly visited Pengcheng once."

Pengcheng is close to the Central Plains, between the north and the south. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. There are many rivers and convenient transportation, which is easy to transport food and troops.

The emperors of all dynasties would personally appoint trusted officials to go there, just to prevent those who cared about making a fuss.

Its importance needless to say, everyone knows it well.

No matter which route Chen Wang came back from, he should not have passed through Pengcheng, not to mention that he went there secretly, and his intentions were too obvious.

Xiao Rongxi naturally thought of this, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I sent someone to investigate, but I didn't find that he went to Pengcheng, how did you know?"

Zhang Dian: "Pengcheng was originally planned for my trip this time. It just so happens that on the second day I arrived there, I ran into a girl who was looking for someone. From her description, it is most likely that King Chen."

The girl was Qingwan, the queen of the rich merchant Wang's family. When she went to the street, she bumped into a man by chance. Seeing how handsome he was, she fell in love with him.

The two even chatted over a cup of tea.

The man then left and was never heard from again.

The Wang family saw that their daughter didn't think about eating and drinking every day, so they asked people to draw a portrait according to her description, and searched all over the city, but so far they found nothing.

I don't even know his last name or where he lives.

"Didn't he hide his appearance a little bit?"

Zhang Dian: "Of course Prince Chen has them, but he doesn't have any guards. I only guessed it from the description of the guards."

He paused, "Besides, according to the girl's description, he is very interested in the aristocratic families in Pengcheng."

The conversation between the two naturally revolved around this topic.

The Wang family has a big business, and they have business contacts with people inside and outside Pengcheng; Wang Qingwan knows much more information than ordinary people, and some of them can't even be found out.

When they met by chance, Wang Qingwan liked him again. Seeing that he was very interested, she told all those seemingly meaningless leftovers.

Falling into the ears of those with a heart, you can always find some ways.

Xiao Rongxi gently twisted the jade pendant around her waist, and after listening, her eyelids pressed slightly, "Then do you know what he did and who he met?"

Zhang Dian shook his head, "That's not clear. According to my guess, Prince Chen stayed in Pengcheng for four days, and then rejoined the large army returning to Beijing. If it wasn't for Wang Qingwan's experience, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find out his identity." whereabouts."

Prince Chen probably... also wants to hold Pengcheng in his own hands.

"By the way, this Wang family is related to Zhang Yuanying and Captain Zhang. According to seniority, Wang Qingwan should call him cousin."

Xiao Rongxi paused, "I remember that on the night of the reception banquet, among the many people who congratulated King Chen, he alone responded to Zhang Yuanying. At that time, I still felt strange that it turned out to be such a reason."
