Chapter 290: The Mute Princess in the Marriage Alliance 5

After finishing her breakfast, Xie Shizhu returned to her own room.
She didn't have any maidservants, as she was an undercover agent and didn't want to be discovered. Ever since she entered the Wang Residence, she had not requested any maidservants.
任何事情都是她一个人处理完毕。
这会，谢时竹拿着扫帚扫着地面。
她一边扫地一边跟系统交流：“是不是我不死，那女主角永远也不会出现？”
系统思考几秒：【这个不确定。】
这个世界的女主角是原主的妹妹，谢时竹是北漠的一颗棋子，她死后，北漠很快就送了她的妹妹谢惜来到彦国。
At first, she took over Xie Shizhu's position and married the wise king. However, as the female protagonist got to know Song Yan, she inevitably developed feelings for him.
But what she didn't know was that Song Yan had known her true intentions when she arrived at the palace. He intentionally made Xie Xiyuan fall in love with him.
后面，宋砚利用谢惜，把谢惜带进宫里，然后太子又看上了谢惜。
这剧情就是女主爱男配，男主爱女主，男配谁也不爱，只爱江山不爱美人。
谢时竹叹气，停下了扫地的动作。
时间很快，已经到了晚上。
谢时竹左顾右盼，见四周无人，换了身衣裳，又带了个面纱，随后跳上屋顶，迅速从王府离开，来到了素翠阁。
The Sui Cui Ge is a theater and teahouse.
The ambiance is great, as soon as Xie Shizhu enters, melodious opera music enters her ears.
The theater has a total of four floors, and Xie Shizhu walked around each floor, finally seeing the Prince Ji on the second floor.
冀王也发现了她，随后缓缓起身，朝她微微颔首。
女子身穿绛紫色衣袍，同色的袍带勾勒着女人的细腰，尽管戴着面纱，但露出一双的眼睛，足以让人惊艳。
When Xie Shizhu walked towards the Wing King, he saw a familiar face, which happened to be the male protagonist of this world, Song Wenyan.
He was wearing a black and red traditional attire, holding a fan in his hand, sipping tea while leisurely listening to the opera downstairs, enjoying himself.
Xie Shizhu's gaze shifted downward, and she saw that the sachet hanging from Song Wenyuan's waist was actually hers, with her maiden name embroidered on it.
She frowned slightly and thought, "Doesn't this prince have a bit of a mental problem?"
The person who initially rejected the concubine status was him, so is it odd for him to now wear his own sachet?
Xie Shizhu quickly averted his gaze and accidentally bumped into the shop's waiter who was pouring tea behind him.
She quickly turned around and nodded apologetically to the waiter.
The waiter had an ordinary appearance, but was a head taller than Xie Shizhu, with a pair of exceptionally calm eyes.
He bowed slightly to her and walked towards Song Wenyin's direction with a tray in hand.
When the shop attendant was serving tea to Song Wenyu, his gaze lingered on the waist sachet for a few seconds, then he continued placing the teapot on the table.

Yi Wang is the emperor's brother, and he is the one who proposed the marriage alliance to the emperor. Translated content:
目的当然是勾结与北漠。
可计划却失败，太子并未看上她。
翼王不知道谢时竹是装哑，两人也未曾见过。
但翼王得知谢时竹是北漠第一美人，方才刚看到谢时竹时，他便知道这就是她。
Tonight he asked Xie Shizhu to come, actually for the purpose of quickly sending Xie Shizhu into the palace once.
He wants the Emperor to take a liking to Xie Shizhu, which would be more convenient than marrying the Crown Prince.
After Xie Shizhu sat down, she carefully observed the expression on the Prince Yi's face and immediately understood his hidden intentions.
But I still have to pretend to know nothing.
Yi Wang knew that there were many people nearby and it was chaotic. He took out a brush and quickly wrote his purpose of coming on the paper, and told Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu shook his head without any hesitation and refused.
After seeing her refusal, the expression on Wing King's face instantly turned sour. After all, in his heart, Xie Shizhu was so beautiful that it was a waste to have her as a useless concubine.
Instead of wasting time at the Prince Xian's mansion, it's better to enter the palace early.
Xie Shizhu hesitated for a moment, wrote the word "using the restroom" on the paper, and quickly got up from the tea table, swiftly moving out of the Wing Prince's sight.

店小二在给另外一桌客人倒茶时，目光在四周环视一圈，他快速锁定了人物。
待看清人脸时，宋砚眼底掠过些许嘲弄。
Isn't this the Yiwang, the brother of the Emperor?
Song Yan harbors resentment towards Yiwang, recalling events from his childhood in the palace, his face quickly turning sinister.
Just as he was about to take action, the voices of the guests in front of him reached his ears.
"Do you think that man is the Crown Prince?"
"It seems so."
Song Yan also paid no attention to their discussion and then heard them say, "
另外一个男子咬了一口绿豆糕，意味深长道：“天下谁不知贤王患有隐疾，阳.衰，真是可惜了王府的几个美人。”
宋砚：“……”
刚说完，他们面前的店小二沉着脸，明明很是平凡的面孔却泛着危险的气息。
两个男子被吓了一跳，刚想怒骂店小二，忽然，这个店小二将面前的茶水泼向他们的脸。
The scorching hot tea made the two men unable to open their eyes, causing them to curse and yell angrily.
After finally wiping the water off their faces, they opened their eyelids and saw that the innkeeper in front of them suddenly had a different appearance.
男子一袭黑衣，脸上带着面具，墨发未冠，微微浮动，通过面具的眼睛，他们可以看到男子黑沉的瞳孔。
突然，其中一个男子忽然想到了什么，不可思议睁大眼睛，颤抖着声音说：“他是鬼帝。”
What?
在彦国有皇帝外，还有一个天下人自发称呼的刺客。
这位刺客不杀妇人、孩童外，其他的都接，只要银子到位，还没有他杀不掉的人。
As a result, people all over the world trembled in fear, and they labeled him as the 'Ghost Emperor'.
These two men were so frightened that they shivered, about to shout for help when a small silver needle pierced through their throats.
他们就突然没了气息，悄无声息没地爬在桌子上一动不动。
这个时候，台下的戏曲格外热闹，无人在意这块。
宋砚快速地将银针准确刺入以往的脖颈，他很顺利地让翼王彻底失去呼吸。
Wing King weakly crawled onto the table, as if he had fallen asleep.
After solving everything, Song Yan jumped out of the window as light as a swallow. Only when he left, did the crowd start screaming. Thank you for using our service!
Everyone realized belatedly that the terrifying assassin had already paid a visit.

While relieving himself, Xie Shizhu heard voices outside.
"Some time ago, the residence of the Minister of Household Affairs was robbed, and it is said that the most important item was stolen."
"Ah? Could it be evidence of corruption or something?"
As Xie Shizhu finished relieving himself, people outside were still talking: "I don't know, if it falls into the hands of some ill-intentioned people, it will be over. The Minister of Revenue is currently offering a hefty reward."
"To smoothly enter the residence of the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Rites and then quickly escape, there is only one person in the whole world who can do it."
The other person remained silent for a few seconds and said, "Are you referring to that thief god?"
After Xie Shizhu came out, the two individuals glanced at her and, upon discovering her appearance, immediately closed their mouths, staring intently at her face with a dazzled look.
Whether it is her figure or just the pair of eyes on display, it is simply captivating.
Xie Shizhu walked up the stairs, ready to find the Wing King. Just as she took a few steps, she heard a chaotic noise from upstairs. Before she could think further, Song Wenyan came down from upstairs.
He had a brief encounter with her.
Xie Shizhu quickly lowered her head, pretending to be calm.
Song Wenyan seemed not to recognize her.
Xie Shizhu sighed with relief. As they brushed past each other, a force suddenly grabbed her arm, and then a deep male voice sounded in her ears: "Xie Shizhu."
“……”
Song Wenyi did not let her go, but pulled her closer to himself. He silently stared at the thin veil on her face, then shifted his gaze to her eyes.
Xie Shizhu quickly raised her hand and gestured, "I'm not."
With a raised eyebrow, Song Wenyi said, "These are not important. Come find me during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After speaking, he took out a fragrant sachet from his waist and played with it in his hand, saying, "If you come, I can return your sachet. If you don't come, you will have to consider the consequences yourself."
Xie Shizhu hesitated for a moment, with a hint of resistance on her face.
Song Wenyang placed the sachet back at his waist and glanced deeply at her before descending the steps and passing by her.
When Song Wenyang left the theater, he absentmindedly reached towards his waist, only to realize that it was empty; the sachet had mysteriously disappeared.

Xie Shizhu looked down at the sachet in her palm, her red lips curling slightly.
