Chapter 1054: Blocking the News, Princess Chen Is Out

"Princess, there is indeed someone who wants to deal with us. If we open it rashly, it will definitely cause disaster." The butler lowered his head, with a trace of imperceptible panic flashing in his eyes.

Even though he was once the chief steward of the late Queen, he was still horrified by the brocade box.

Shao Wanru had been paying attention to the chief steward. Seeing the panic in the chief steward's eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he asked slowly: "Even the prince can't save us?"

"If the prince were here, he might be able to save the princess, but right now the prince is not here..." the chief steward said implicitly, without mentioning himself at all. This of course meant that even if Chu Liuchen wanted to save him, he would not be able to. , this is still when Chu Liuchen is in the house.

In this current situation, even Shao Wanru is in danger.

Shao Wanru took a deep breath. She originally wanted to inquire about this brocade box, but now she immediately gave up her thoughts. The danger of this brocade box was so high that she decisively gave up.

"Butler, what do you think will happen next?" No longer paying attention to the brocade box, Shao Wanru's words changed direction.

The chief steward was relieved. The princess was indeed smart, but she was still young. He was afraid that she would be curious and inquire further.

There are some things he knows, and there are some things he doesn't know, but whether he knows it or not, it is wrong for the princess to ask at this time. If it falls into the ears of interested people, what kind of words may come out.

Not asking at this time is indeed the best and least likely way to make anyone suspicious.

"Don't worry, Princess, at least we can be safe for a while now!" the chief steward said. Such a thing has attracted the attention of the emperor. Although the imperial guards did not come in to inspect the house before, they already had some meaning. , his house was watched by the emperor's imperial guards.

Anyone who dares to deal with the palace without opening their eyes at this time will fall into the eyes of the emperor.

"The person who delivered the food should be an abandoned son. No matter how much you check, nothing will be found. The first person who delivered the food was the nephew of a eunuch in the palace. He was loyal to the late queen and died for the late queen. , this brocade box should have nothing to do with him, at most it is the matter of his nephew at the moment, princess, do you think it would be a good idea to send someone to check on him at this time?"

The butler continued.

He pretended not to know before. Now that there is a brocade box matter, since he doesn't know, it is a separate issue of food delivery. As the owner, it is only reasonable that he should send someone to ask.

"Thank you, butler. As for the food delivery, the butler will handle it in the usual way!" Shao Wanru nodded and did not ask the butler specifically how to do it. This is a matter for the outer courtyard. Since the butler does it as usual, There is a set of sub-processes in it.

She doesn't understand that interfering rashly can lead to bad things.

"Princess, don't worry, old slave, don't worry!" The butler nodded. This was indeed the best and most confusing thing to do at this time.

"I won't go out recently, and I will notify my grandmother. If anyone comes to invite me from now on, the housekeeper will reject it and say that I am sick!" Shao Wanru thought for a while, and then road.

"What the princess means..." The butler didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, his eyes lit up and he looked at the little princess in front of him with great admiration. She can be so calm at such a young age. It's really amazing. Awesome, "Everything in our mansion is as usual, but only the princess is in poor health?"

"It's just a slight discomfort. There's no need to alert the imperial doctor, let alone go outside to ask for a doctor." Shao Wanru saw that he understood the meaning and said with a soft smile.

"Princess, I understand." The chief steward nodded repeatedly, feeling sincerely convinced of Shao Wanru.

"Let's not move for a while. We won't move anything. Even if some things are trivial, let's see who can't calm down first." Shao Wanru said with a hint.

This matter has come to an end for the time being. As long as the next thing is not in Prince Chen's Mansion, it has nothing to do with him. He just needs to wait for Chu Liuchen's return.

Under the careful comfort of Shao Wanru and the chief steward, the Prince Chen Mansion suppressed this matter to a minimum. The people in the manor only knew that the young man who delivered the food was an arrogant man, so they helped their uncle deliver the food for two days before leaving the owner. The family was so offended that he was not allowed to deliver the food after that. Another person was replaced. I heard that this person was also the nephew who had delivered the food before. The first delivery person was indeed ill.

The imperial guards came to search for the remnants of the previous dynasty. The servants in the mansion also heard about it, but they didn't take it seriously. They just came to ask about it and left after asking. They even asked the food delivery guy. The young man who was full of lies was taken away, which saved Prince Chen's palace from a lot of trouble.

The entire Prince Chen's Mansion was calm and everything was in order.

There was no reaction from Prince Chen's Mansion, but there was an undercurrent in the capital. Many people secretly raised their concerns. For a seemingly simple matter, many people intervened.

In a remote and empty Zen room in Yuyun Temple, Master Jieyan, the abbot of Yuyun Temple, was sitting under a chair by the side window, with his hands clasped together and his expression not looking good.

The one with an even worse expression was His Highness Prince Cheng. He slapped the table with his hand, causing several cups on the table to jump: "How could this happen? I'm not saying that I will definitely succeed this time. As long as I have this brocade box." If you open it in Prince Chen's palace, you will definitely be able to deal with Princess Chen. What is going on now?"

How could he not be angry? He had finally obtained this brocade box. He had kept it for so many years, hoping to use it at the most appropriate time. However, not only did it not work, but one of Ma's trump cards was also wasted. .

Master Jieyan's eyes slowly opened, "Your Majesty, have you really found out that nothing happened to Princess Chen?"

"I have inquired clearly. I saw that the butler in Prince Chen's residence had nothing to do. He appeared in front of everyone and went to find the person who delivered food to their house. He has been like this for so many years. , how can anything happen!" King Cheng said angrily.

There were only a few such trump cards in his hand, and now they were of no use, so they were wasted. The more he thought about them, the angrier he became.

"Just because the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion is fine doesn't mean that Princess Chen is fine." Master Jie Fang didn't believe that it was really useless, and reminded Prince Cheng, "Your Majesty, can we consider it from another aspect? Just because the chief steward is fine, it means that What's strange is that he didn't open the brocade box, but sent it to Princess Chen. No matter how smart Princess Chen is, she is still young."

"You mean something has happened to Princess Chen?" Prince Cheng's eyes lit up and his anger immediately subsided.

"The prince thinks it's possible that something has happened to Princess Chen, but no one can know about it. If it has anything to do with the emperor in the palace, the chief steward of Prince Chen's palace wouldn't dare to show any signs of strangeness. He was in the palace for so long, To be able to become the chief steward of the late Queen, you still have some discernment."

Master Jieyan thought for a while and analyzed.

King Cheng nodded after hearing this, "There is some truth in what you said, that is, he is an old fox. He does not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes, and his current normal behavior is just an act. If this is really the case, then this Princess Chen may Something has happened, but this is just our conjecture and cannot be taken seriously!"

Prince Cheng came back with his last words. Although he didn't think Princess Chen could avoid it, Prince Chen's palace was too quiet at the moment, as if nothing had happened, which really made him uneasy.

"My lord, please don't reach out rashly now. I'm afraid that the emperor has already paid attention to Prince Chen's Mansion. No matter whether Princess Chen is in trouble or not, the imperial guards have already taken action that day. If you want to find out what happened to Princess Chen at this time, I'm afraid that It will attract the emperor’s attention.”

Master Jieyan shook his head, this time was not appropriate.

"I know, but what if someone comes to see Princess Chen, and she is someone who has to be seen." Prince Cheng tapped his hand on the table and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to take action at this time. You have been waiting for so many years, so why bother to be in a hurry? Anyway, you are not the only one who is anxious this time, and you are not the one who takes action. You cannot make a mistake at this time and arouse suspicion. If the emperor is suspicious If I kill you, it will be a big deal!"

The word of warning has a specific meaning.

Prince Cheng is not one of those princes. If it is found that there is something wrong with him, the Emperor will definitely take action immediately and show no mercy.

"Okay, then let's wait and turn our attention to Prince Zhou's Mansion."

He had used a trick to deliver this box to the Empress, and the person who directly took action should be related to Prince Zhou's Mansion.

"It's the best that the prince can think so!" Jieyan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that King Cheng wouldn't listen to his advice and would rush in rashly.

In Prince Zhou's Mansion, Chu Liuzhou was also throwing his cup angrily. Apart from him, there was only one other person in the study, his uncle and the Queen's second brother Ji Lingzhen.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has asked you not to let anyone see anything, do what you should do, and don't get too close to Prince Chen's Mansion." Ji Lingzhen advised. He is not the boss, has not inherited the title, and usually just hangs up. An idle errand might not look like a productive person on weekdays, but in fact he has always been the person beside King Zhou who helps him make suggestions.

"Second uncle, didn't you say that this matter will definitely cause chaos? Why is there nothing happening at the moment?" Chu Liuzhou's temper has never been very good. At this time, he felt more and more aggrieved. He felt that this kind of thing would not even happen There are no waves in the water, but the queen mother said it was so powerful before.

This kind of thing is not as happy as real swords and guns.

If you want Princess Chen to disappear into Prince Chen's palace, it would be best to kidnap or kill the person. Now that there is such a big fuss, it seems that she is very powerful, but there is not even a ripple. It is really disappointing. People think it's a joke.

"No, I have to find someone to ask about this. We can't just wait." Chu Liuzhou stood up and said to the outside: "Here comes someone!"

"Your Majesty, this servant is here!" A boy came in immediately at the door and said respectfully after saluting.
