Chapter 349: Letters and Calligraphy of the 4th Prince
"what?"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory looked at the surrounding vendors in astonishment, and both sides said in unison.
"I don't know them."
"We don't know him."
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
"Take your things back! I don't want anything without merit."
"Girl, look..."
The vendors were about to try to persuade them, but Qin Miaoxi simply pulled the Imperial Observatory away from the scene and disappeared at Jiaodaokou in the blink of an eye.
"What should I do? I can't explain this to that gentleman!"
"Now I can only tell the truth."
The merchants left dejectedly with their goods, but the man said that since the goods could not be delivered, they had to get a refund.
Qin Miaoxi was afraid of encountering the same embarrassment again, so she took the Imperial Observatory directly to the teahouse.
"Madam Hou is so enthusiastic, could it be that she has other thoughts about me?"
"Yes! Do you want to hear the details?"
"No, I don't dare to listen to you even if you dare to say it."
"Tingba! I just want to beat you up right now."
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory's icy face twitched unconsciously, "Haha! Madam Hou is really humorous. Your fists are not something most people can enjoy."
After ordering a pot of tea, Qin Miaoxi stared at him intently.
"Tell me! What surprise did you give me?"
She didn't know which idiot had made the mistake just now. If it was the same kind as the one on the Huangbang list, she would definitely kill him with one blow.
"How heartless! Don't you know what happened in the morning court today?"
Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows, "Are those your people?"
"Of course not. I just know that someone is going to attack the eldest prince."
"Who is it?"
“I don’t know yet, but he is definitely a winner.”
Qin Miaoxi's mind moved, "Are you talking about the Fourth Prince?"
The troops of the eldest prince and the second prince fought with each other, and the only one who could benefit was the last prince in the capital.
"That's the case at the moment."
The Imperial Observatory's expression suddenly became solemn. "The Fourth Prince may seem cynical, but he is no ordinary man."
Qin Miaoxi's heart skipped a beat, and the face of a man she hadn't seen for a long time suddenly flashed through her mind, and the light in her eyes became gentle.
"Why, are you thinking of someone you like?"
The Imperial Observatory's familiar teasing made their attitude change from being reserved to casual.
Qin Miaoxi glanced at the door and replied lazily, "Why don't you pretend to be a stranger?"
"Junior sister, it's not okay if I'm wrong."
"Hmph, I will definitely have a good chat with Second Senior Brother."
The Imperial Observatory immediately surrendered, "I'm wrong, and that's not enough. Don't let that sinister fellow Xie Baiyan know, or he'll definitely skin me alive."
Qin Miaoxi hummed a few times in a proud manner and did not comment on what he said.
It can be said that the four imperial guards and the Imperial Observatory are from the same school. The master of the Imperial Observatory is their master's junior brother, so they belong to the same generation and are the only two people who know the true identities of the four imperial guards.
"What's wrong with you lately? Have you lost interest in the affairs of the court? Or are you being ostracized?"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory shrugged nonchalantly. "You're quite perceptive. I've been targeted. Even before the poisoning of His Majesty's body damaged me, someone has been trying to weaken my power. Perhaps someone has plans to establish a crown prince and needs to remove me as an obstacle."
"You are quite self-aware."
"There's nothing I can do. The greater your ability, the more people will be an eyesore."
Qin Miaoxi spat in annoyance. This man was still as shameless as ever.
"If you have time to think about this, you should think carefully about how your unfinished product got out there and was used by the royal family."
"Why, do you have any clues to tell me?"
"You're overthinking it. If you want any clues, go find my second brother."
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory sneered, drank the last of the tea in the cup, and fled away.
Afterwards, Qin Miaoxi stayed for a while before driving towards Shimen Village.
But halfway through the journey, she felt someone was following her. The hand holding the reins turned, and the horse turned around and immediately headed in the opposite direction.
The people behind chased relentlessly and finally found the tracker in a deserted forest.
"So it was you who followed me."
Qin Miaoxi's voice came from the sky, and the man was knocked off his horse. The tight feeling on his neck made him dare not act rashly.
"Lady, please spare my life. I have no ill intentions."
She couldn't sense whether there was any malicious intent, and asked ruthlessly: "Who are you?"
"I...I am..."
With a loud bang, Qin Miaoxi's hand loosened, and when she opened her eyes, the man had disappeared, leaving only a closed envelope.
The man was unexpectedly agile and was able to escape from her hands in this situation.
Looking at the letter in her hand again, she tore open the envelope without hesitation, but the contents inside made her alarm bells ring.
This is a letter written by the Fourth Prince to his subordinates, and the specific content is about how to deal with the corpses hanging in coffins on the cliff.
Although no one was named, her first reaction was to the eldest prince and the dead guards around him.
“It really is related to him.”
Plans could not keep up with changes, so she immediately turned back to the city and went to a bungalow in the civilian area in a secretive manner.
Zi Yan looked at her in surprise, "Miss, why are you here?"
"How's the investigation going on?"
"It's been too long, and we haven't found any useful clues yet."
"In that case, you should check this first."
Then she handed her the letter and the horse.
"Check whether this letter was written by the Fourth Prince. Also, check who the owner of this horse is."
The letter was certainly suspicious, but the man's behavior was even more suspicious.
If it was truly the Fourth Prince's handwriting, shouldn't it have been kept secret? How could that person have dared to follow him openly, even leaving behind that letter after being caught? His motives seemed deliberate.
"Fourth Prince?"
Zi Yan seemed to have thought of something, and immediately turned back to the room and took out a few scrolls.
"Miss, this is the calligraphy of the Fourth Prince. You can compare the handwriting."
After opening it, I really saw the seal of the Fourth Prince.
? ?
Qin Miaoxi was surprised, "How did you get the Fourth Prince's painting?"
Zi Yan's stiff face forced out a complex expression, "Perhaps everyone in Jingzhao City has a copy of the Fourth Prince's calligraphy."
In addition to visiting pleasure boats, the Fourth Prince also likes to write and paint, and he is very efficient. He can complete more than a dozen works of calligraphy in one night.
If that were the case, it would be fine. The most annoying thing is that he likes to give away his calligraphy works as gifts after drinking. No matter who it is, as long as he sees them, he will force them to give them to him. Zi Yan had three or four pieces of calligraphy works forced on her in this way. I'm afraid the Fourth Prince doesn't even know who has his calligraphy works in his hands.
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
We see strange things every year, but this year is the strangest yet.
She compared them expressionlessly, only to find that the handwriting on the letter was different from that on the scroll.
"This is not the Fourth Prince's handwriting."
"Framed?"
Qin Miaoxi raised her hand to stop him, "Go to the Fourth Prince's residence and take out his manuscript from his study for comparison."
"Yes."
