C642 Unexpected knowledge (1/2)
”Princess, Princess Eleven, she … ”He might not have died.” ”Yesterday, I saw a person who looked very much like Princess Eleven in the city. When I went up to call her, she ran away without looking back. I thought I was mistaken, but with her running away, I was sure that this person was Princess Eleven.”
”You were the one who found this earring in the clothing store in the west of the capital. But why did you lie about your maid picking it up last time?” Feng Jiao asked.
”This …” ”Princess, please don't blame this humble concubine. Firstly, I only happened to pick up an earring, and only after you recognized the earring, did I know that this is Princess Eleven's item, and secondly, the Jing Xi clothing shop is His Highness's place, so I didn't dare to think too much into it. It wasn't until today that I saw the live Princess, that I realized there was something amiss with her, so I came here to discuss this matter with you and ask you for your opinion, Princess.”
Feng Jiao held the earring and pondered for a moment. ”Lian Shiya, if you lie to this princess, you know what will happen.”
”Princess, this lowly concubine dares to guarantee with her life that Princess Eleven is not dead.” Lian Shiya immediately said.
Feng Jiao then instructed the mama by her side, ”Senior Servant Yuan, we won't be returning to the princess' estate. Arrange for some people to go back and inform Prince Consort that this princess wants to see Imperial Father immediately.”
”Respectfully sending off your highness.” Lian Shiya hurriedly half-knelt down as she looked at the Third Princess' back, revealing an expression of relief — —
Since she was young, she had been used to fawning on others. Since she was young, she had married a consort, but she was only the second son of an assistant minister. Now that she knew that it was possible that Princess Eleven was still alive, she could not wait to use this secret to win the favor of her father.
”Third Princess, it's up to you.” Lian Shiya lightly smiled.
”Madam, are we returning to the Prime Minister's Estate now?” Cheng Jian asked.
”No, let's go to the rouge shop on the north side of the city. The water powder there covers the scar on my face the best. I heard that there was a new product there and I want to buy some to return to. The fourth prince moved quite a bit of gold and silver to my house yesterday …” Lian Shiya returned to the palanquin as she spoke.
Arriving at the rouge shop, the shopkeeper looked at her attire and enthusiastically introduced her to the new rouge and water powder.
”Third Miss, you came here to buy things.” At this moment, a surprised voice was suddenly heard.
Lian Shiya looked up and saw a smiling woman holding several boxes of rouge, looking at her with a pleasantly surprised expression.
”You are?” Lian Shiya thought about it and felt that the person in front of her looked familiar, but she could not remember who it was.
”Third Miss, I was originally a third-rate maidservant in the master's room, Xia Zhi. A while ago, because I was old, I took some as rewards and left the Prime Minister's Estate.” The woman said.
Only now did Lian Shiya remember that there was indeed such a person in Lian Yan Qing's room. She had seen him before, ”Xia Sunflower, it was you. I didn't think of it at first, but now I recognize you. What are you doing here?”
”Third Miss, after this servant left the house, she became engaged to a set marriage partner. This shop was opened by my brother-in-law, this servant came to help.” The Sunflower explained.
Lian Shiya looked at the Xia Sunflower and thought for a moment before saying, ”Xia Sunflower, come with me. I have something to ask you.”
