Du Huima's clothes are also carefully prepared.
On the other hand, Du Qian was nowhere to be seen and was said to be busy in the palace.
The three people got into the carriage, escorted by their guards, and set off in a grand manner. On the way, we also encountered the carriages of some high-ranking officials and their families, but when they saw the carriage of the princess's palace, they all stepped aside.
Only at this time can Du Wan deeply realize the privileges given by status.
Approaching the palace gate.
Du Wan was still sitting in the carriage when he met a team from the Imperial City Division and hurried away on horseback.
The leader is Pei Hao.
When she stuck out her little head and looked.
Pei Hao suddenly turned around and stopped his horse, letting Mu Si'an and his men go ahead. He turned around and came to her carriage.
Today's little girl has been carefully dressed up, which is very different from the bare-faced look of the past. She has put on exquisite peach blossom makeup, her eyebrows are curved when she smiles, and her big clear eyes are dark and smart, as if she contains countless things. The tiny starlight is so clean and pure that it is not stained by dust.
Pei Hao didn't know how others would feel when they saw such a little girl, but he couldn't move away after just one glance.
Thinking of the fact that there are many children of powerful people at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet every year, and all of them are of high status.
He doesnt really want others to see such a little girl...
Princess Princess. Pei Hao saluted with his fists clasped while riding on the carriage.
Du Wan blinked and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The Office of the Minister of Rites." Pei Hao said truthfully, "You should know what you are going to do."
Du Wans eyes lit up, I want to go too.
The princess wants to go to the palace banquet, so its better not to go. Pei Hao seemed hesitant.
I just want to go
Du Wan was interested in the banquet, but catching the person was more important than catching the real culprit. So she quickly opened the curtain and slipped out of the carriage. The luxurious and complicated clothes did not affect her walking speed.
Princess, how do you
Ningqin and Luoqi followed the palace today and were shocked to see the princess like this.
The eldest princess and Prince Consort Du are still in the carriage ahead.
Is Prince Pei trying to kidnap the princess?
Pei Hao raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he saw the little girl getting off the carriage.
I saw the little girl running to the carriage in front and saying a few words inside. Before the eldest princess and the prince-in-law in the car could say anything, she ran towards Pei Hao. Pei Hao thought that the little girl would let him Take it with you.
Its time to ride together...
As a result, the little girl climbed into the carriage again and said, "Coachman, follow Prince Pei."
Yes, Princess.
The coachman is just a servant, and he obeys orders immediately.
Ningqin and Luoqi hurriedly followed. They couldn't leave the princess alone at this time. If something happened, they would be left with nothing to lose.
The eldest princess lifted the curtain and looked towards Du Wan's carriage.
Hey! This little monkey...
The eldest princess could only stare as she looked at her daughter's carriage leaving.
Du Huima didn't react to his daughter's operation for a while, "Sister Shu, Chengming is following you, so don't worry. When she has enough fun, she will come back."
Her imperial uncle wants to ask about it later, what should she say?
Lets just say it. Prince Consort Du chuckled, The emperor is probably still waiting to hear his daughters gossip.
He did not forget that during the recent court visit, the emperor would occasionally mention something in private and ask about his daughter. As long as you tell the emperor about your daughter's embarrassment, the emperor will definitely laugh.
The eldest princess could only accept it angrily, "Leave someone here to wait."
"OK."
Du Huima has no objection to this.Furthermore, Du Wan followed Pei Hao and went straight to the Office of the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites is a high official in the court and is qualified to participate in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Therefore, all the serious masters in the mansion have already entered the palace. The remaining concubines and concubines who can go out to play are rarely in the mansion.
Therefore, there are very few masters left in the mansion now.
Those who knelt on the ground were all servants.
The steward summoned a group of servants to the front yard.
When Du Wan arrived, Mu Si'an had already surrounded Shangshu's Mansion and gathered everyone in the mansion together.
Mu Sian is asking each person to stand up and let a man identify them.
Most of the people in the house have identified him, but they still havent found the suspect.
Du Wan came to Pei Hao's side and asked, "Who is that man?"
"My name is A Lu. He was sent from Yanmen. He said he had seen the person who placed the order." Pei Hao explained to her in a low voice.
Du Wan looked at the people around him and frowned, "Do you think the news will be leaked?"
"Probably not. There are only a limited number of people who know about this matter, and they are all credible."
Pei Hao naturally expected this, so he took the time to handle the case.
I received the information on the same day and came to arrest the person on the same day.
If this was not the residence of the Minister of Rites, and the emperor's approval was required, it would not have been delayed for more than an hour. However, as soon as he received the news, he had arranged for his confidants to stay outside the Shangshu Mansion.
He has a list of who comes in and who goes out.
Of course Pei Hao could not stop those who entered the palace.
Pei Hao said: "I can guarantee that this will not be leaked."
How can you be so sure?
"Because I am responsible for this matter. Unless someone close to the emperor leaks it?"
Du Wan is not sure now.
The emperor is surrounded by a sieve.
Pei Hao added: "Even if someone knows our movements, they won't guess who they want to catch."
Thats good. Du Wan was still looking forward to it.
She was very afraid of the real murderer behind the scenes, like a poisonous snake.
Du Wan did not stand in the front yard and watch A Lu recognize the person. Instead, he looked around at the servants who were kneeling on the ground. There were also some women and children who were obviously better dressed than the servants. According to the situation, they should be from the Shangshu Mansion. aunts and children of concubines.
Just now Du Wan looked at the portrait of the suspect.
He is a man, so Mu Si'an now asks Alu to identify the male servant first.
When Du Wan saw the people who had been identified, they all knelt to the other side.
Everyone knelt down fearfully, not daring to raise their heads.
Pei Hao noticed that the little girl had been observing the surroundings and frowning from time to time, wondering what she was thinking about. Until Mu Sian's side, Jean identified the last male servant, but no suspect was found.
Pei Hao spoke to the steward of Shangshu Mansion, "Are all the people in your mansion here?"
"My lord, some servants have followed into the palace to serve the masters." The steward knelt aside and replied.
Its not that he wanted to bow his head, but someone came with the imperial edict.
Pei Hao said to an official next to him: "Take out the list registered with the government and call your names one by one."
The official quickly followed suit and took out a roster from what he had brought.
As long as there is a deed of sale, it will be recorded, and it is not difficult to make a list.
The official opened the roster, stood up, and began to call the names: "Wang Daniu."
A manservant stood up in fear. After an official checked that it was him, he stood on the other side.
