"My lord, this is the portrait drawn based on the description of that woman."
The subordinates presented a stack of rice paper in front of Feinian.
Feinian unfolded the paper one by one-in order to reduce errors, usually three
to four portraitists would draw a person's head at the same time, and finally
the one with the most experience would integrate the picture scroll into one.
This time, the four paintings are similar to the final image. From the
perspective of the painting, the other party is a seventeen or eighteen-year-
old woman: she is about five feet tall, with a high nose, wide eyes, and her
hair tied into a flat bundle, neither protruding nor protruding. It's not
ugly, in short, a woman who looks very ordinary.
"Where is Shangguancai?"
"It has been sent to the Privy Council."
"She has no complaints, right?"
"Yes, she seems to have accepted the saying that'this is a misunderstanding'
and asked when I can see you again."
Feinian smiled and put the picture scroll into his arms, "It's better to be
missing this side. Prepare the horse, I'm going to see your Royal Highness."
The matter has not been ascertained yet, of course it is impossible for him to
report to the second prince with this.
What Feinian really was looking for was He'er.
And He'er would always appear next to Ning Qianshi.
After getting the consent of the second prince, Feinian saw the little girl
who always looked carefree in the back room of the palace conservatory.
"Fei Nian, good evening!"
She was wearing a bright red maid's dress, adding charcoal to the greenhouse
stove, if she didn't know her abilities, she would be no different from a maid
of the lowest rank at this moment.
"Miss He'er, hello." He bowed respectfully, and then spread the portrait in
front of the other person, "I want to use your ability to complete an
investigation."
"Do you want to ask about Wanxiang chess?" He'er put down the charcoal basket,
"I'm fine, but did your Highness agree? He doesn't let me use this ability at
will."
Because this ability puts a heavy burden on He'er, it will exhaust all of
He'er's energy after one use. If there is any need to use the world chess
game, he can only wait until the next day.
"His Royal Highness approved."
"Come on then, you should have already figured out the question to ask? You
can only ask three times!" He'er stretched out three fingers.
"Yes, I understand this." Feinian nodded.
"Get ready." He'er sat down cross-legged, put one hand on top of the scroll,
and closed his eyes slightly, "Xianshu, Vientiane chess book!"
The surging air wave poured in from her body, and the pure breath was like a
wave entity! It's hard to imagine that a seven or eight-year-old girl can
contain such a strong aura, and she doesn't know whether this is due to the
inheritance of the fairy art, or her talent is proud of the mountains.
When He'er opened her eyes again, there was light in her eyes, and her voice
became ethereal and sweet, as if it was not her who was speaking at this time,
but Xianshu himself.
"If you have any questions, please speak up."
Feinian took a deep breath, "Is this woman's involvement related to the change
in Xia Fan's ranking?"
"Yes." He'er replied blankly.
His heart was shocked, and it seemed that he was not looking for the wrong
direction!
If the world chess game is the result of a confrontation between deduction
forces, then the Wanxiang chess record is another inquiry about the
intelligence held by Heer. It also couldn't give the process, and the answer
was only yes and no. If you asked what He'er didn't know, the spell would
immediately terminate. This is why you should think about three questions
carefully before asking questions.
This affirmative reply made Feinian's heart settled. It meant that he had
found the key clue related to Xia Fan, and He'er's information database did
contain this person's information.
Unfortunately, he couldn't directly ask the other party's name.
The next two questions must be as narrow as possible.
"Has this person ever lived in the inner city?"
Shangyuan City is divided into inside and outside, the richer people are
closer to the palace area, and from the experience of Shangguancai's contact,
the other party is rich and should not be too short of money.
"Yes."
Feinian felt that she was only one step away from the truth.
The inner city contains four residential areas and the Gyeonggi Imperial
Palace, so there is not much difference between choosing any one. Thinking of
this, he asked the last question, "This person does not live in the palace."
"No." While giving the answer, the light in He'er's eyes dimmed suddenly,
"Your question, the answer is over."
Then she shook twice and fell to one side.
Feinian hurriedly took two steps forward and reached out to hold the little
girl.
"Hehe...what did you ask? Have your doubts been resolved?" Her voice changed
back to the voice of a child, as if she didn't know what had just happened.
"Almost resolved, you helped a lot."
"That's good..." He'er's voice lowered, "I... sleepy."
"Get a good rest." Feinian hugged her to the collapse, then walked out of the
back room and bowed to the second prince who was painting in the hall, "Your
Highness, I want to find someone in the palace."
...
With direction, the search efficiency is immediately much higher.
Soon, a maid recognized the identity of the person in the painting, "Hui, Hui
adults, this woman...a bit like the maid of the third princess, Qiuyue."
Feinian refreshed, "Are you sure it is her?"
"This-the maidservant is not sure." The maid shrank, "Her eyebrows and mouth
are a little different from the portrait, but the shape and height of her face
can match."
The appearance can be faked, and considering that she does not want to reveal
her whereabouts, it is not surprising that she has changed a little.
In order to verify this judgment, Feinian directly recruited the maids and
servants who had direct contact with the three princesses before. To
outsiders, the princess and maid were an inconspicuous role, but for them, it
was considered to be Regular customers on the Internet.
Everyone believed that this person was Qiuyue.
But it is impossible for Qiuyue herself to want to be an alchemist.
Then Ning Wanjun must replace Shangguancai!
But why did the princess go to Jinxia City as an alchemist to increase Xia
Fan's ranking? What else did Heer discover that finally led to the change in
the list?
Feinian felt that the answer was only a layer of window paper away from him.
He returned to the recording department and re-read the correspondence about
Jinxia.
There is the fief of the three princesses, whether she is going there as a
princess or as an alchemist, it should be harmless. The latter is at best
because she is still playing with her heart and wants to experience the life
of alchemy——
wait.
Feinian's gaze stayed on the document that the princess asked Xia Fan for
credit because of the Gaoshan County incident.
He suddenly realized that he was only staring at replacing the
alchemist...maybe a little too narrow, and Qiuyue was responsible for joining
Shangguancai, which meant that Ning Wanjun could leave Gyeonggi first without
being restricted by the time of the examination. area. Moreover, the Privy
Council really has no way of knowing the specific time of the princess's
departure from Beijing. What if she is no longer in Shangyuan before the start
of the examination of the two places?
A new idea opened up in his mind!
So where will the princess go?
Feinian immediately called up the taxi test record in Qingshan Town.
In the inspector column, the name of Ba Xingtian was clearly written.
With the help of this person's influence ~www.mtlnovel.com~, Ning Wanjun can
quietly intervene in the examination.
So Xia Fan was transferred to Jinxia City, did it happen by accident?
Feinian only felt a bang in his head--
The results of the taxi test in Qingshan Town have been artificially changed;
Ning Wanjun became an alchemist not because of personal interest, but because
she wanted to get to know someone in depth; the paper she asked for credit was
not for the other's salvation, but actually an exchange of interests! That's
why Xia Fan soared all the way later and became the youngest mansion in Daqi.
If Shangguancai has been low-key and dormant as agreed, or the Privy Council
has not sorted out the old and new documents, none of this will show any
abnormality, but when the two occur at the same time, He'er's ability to
correct this inconspicuous deviation Fan's ranking has been adjusted again-not
to improve, but to restore his position!
Of course, Feinian is obviously not concerned about this.
The most critical message of this matter is that Ning Wanjun probably had
contact with Xia Fan in advance, and reached some kind of agreement with him
after he became an alchemist.
The relationship between them is probably much deeper than the friendship
between the princess Yuanfen and the savior!
