It is said to be a teahouse, but it is actually the private property of the Wu family. Most of the information handover between many Wu forces in Beijing and the dark pile is carried out here.
Of course, the matter is secret and unknown. It's just a tea house in a remote place with cold business.
In the last life, after she married the Wu family, she accidentally learned from Wu Tsui that the Wu family had such a teahouse in the South Lane of central Beijing, but she didn't know the name of the teahouse at that time.
Today, the other party asked her to meet here. I think it's also intended to avoid people's eyes and ears. On the one hand, it's convenient to speak, and on the other hand, I don't want to provoke any more rumors.
Xu Mingyi took ah Zhu into the teahouse.
"The same childe agreed to meet here."
The girl spoke calmly to the man who came forward.
"Yes, that childe has arrived earlier. I'll take you up now." the waiter hurriedly led the man to the second floor.
On the second floor, in front of a tea table by the window, the boy in dark blue robes sat there casually holding a exquisite tea bowl in one hand. With half a bundle of ink hair, the well-defined side face is immersed in the morning light, and the eyes are slightly narrowed, which looks warm and comfortable.
Hearing the footsteps, the boy turned his head and looked. When Xu Mingyi came to him, he raised his hand and motioned her to sit down.
"Let Mr. Wu wait a long time." Xu Mingyi said politely.
Wu Tsui did not dare to treat the girl in front of him carelessly. There was a trace of coldness in his tone: "it's also just arrived."
At this time, a waiter walked briskly up the second floor, carrying a teapot in his hand and came forward with a smile.
"Childe, the tea is cold. I'll change the pot for you."
Wu Tsung jumped at his temple.
Just change tea. What's all that nonsense for?
Does it have to be known that he has sat here so long that his tea has cooled?
He went out early because he had something to tell the spies in the teahouse!
The boy looked at the opposite as calmly as possible. The girl took a bite of the warm tea bowl, and her fine and warped eyelashes hung down like a small fan, looking very calm.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Miss Xu didn't seriously think about what to detect. It's really lucky.
Footsteps came again.
Another waiter went upstairs with a tray and put two bowls of hot porridge and several dishes in front of Wu Tsui.
"..." Wu Tsui almost looked at the man with unimaginable eyes.
Did he say he wanted these?
The man smiled innocently.
The shopkeeper said that Shisun came too early. He must have not used breakfast yet. He specially asked the kitchen to prepare it.
It's their duty to be close to their master. Shisun shouldn't be surprised.
"Take your time."
The man came downstairs with the tray.
Wu Tsui clutched the tea bowl tightly.
All this made his previous words so hard to cover up
However, up to now, it can only be stabilized.
"I went out early. First I went to work elsewhere, but I didn't have time to eat early." he seemed to explain casually, so he seemed to calmly pick up chopsticks to pick up things.
However, just as the chopsticks were about to touch the crisp point of the dish, one hand quickly moved the dish away.
Xu Mingyi moved the dessert in front of him.
Wu Shisun's restless mind didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't even notice that this dish was peanut sesame cake?
He can't eat peanuts.
When he first came to the capital, the people in Xuesheng teahouse were no more careful than the servant girl. I think they didn't know their family background. Their grandchildren would have rashes on their limbs and even have trouble breathing after eating peanuts.
"..." Wu Tsui, who saw the plate of snacks, held the chopsticks tightly.
Xu Mingyi looked at the sky from the bottom of his heart.
This is another suspicion. Did she inquire carefully about his likes and dislikes?
She's so hard, really.
"Wu Shisun likes this too?"
The girl seemed to see the chopsticks he stretched out. After holding them together, she pushed the plate back.
Wu Tsung's heart fell back with her.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
"No, peanuts are too fragrant. I never like them."
The boy put his mouth full of fried dishes into the mouth.
Is it wrong to be too delicious as food?
This excuse sounds really unusual.
Xu Mingyi, who was not hungry, reluctantly ate two snacks and drank half a cup of tea. He saw Wu Tsui put down his chopsticks and wipe the corners of his mouth with a clean wet cloth after gargling.
He was not such a slow eater, let alone someone waiting for him to talk about business.
After wiping his hands clean, Wu Tsui put down his cloth towel and said bluntly, "the palace was really investigating this matter at the beginning, but there were rumors in the palace. Many people speculated that the person who hurt the crown prince was Princess Rong. This spread to Princess Rong's ears and made her pregnant. Now she is in bed."
Xu Mingyi frowned slightly.
"It's OK that the fetus doesn't move. It's more like a guilty and frightened heart."
Wu Tsui gave her a noncommittal look: "it was also because of the fetal Qi that the palace didn't investigate further. It was only the internal prison who was charged."
What's the explanation for the internal warden's framing of King's son? It's just a sentence that the internal warden has been resenting the prince for a long time. When he impulsively pushed the prince into the water, he saw King's son and his maids meet in the garden, and happened to pick up King's son's jade pendant. Later, in a panic, in order to leave a way for himself, he threw the jade pendant by the pool and ended it.
No matter how big a thing is, when no one wants to investigate it, there are naturally many excuses to cover it up.
Xu Mingyi pursed his lips and said nothing.
In the end, it is because Princess Rong moved her vitality that the palace and courtiers were worried about the Dragon heir in her belly, or did Princess Rong who moved her vitality just become a cover for some people to cover up the truth?
She always thought it wouldn't be princess Rong's hand.
But the other party was frightened, and the palace ended the matter hastily because she was scared. Even if it was not in the eyes of others, it would be like eight points.
"The matter was investigated by the internal criminal division. Li Ji, the head of the internal prison, was investigating it before and after. Even my aunt couldn't intervene, so she couldn't find any useful news."
Wu Tsung added, "if there is any new discovery in the future, if I know it, I will tell you."
Nothing else, but she mentioned it and should have a beginning and an end.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu."
After thanking Xu Mingyi, he asked in a low voice, "do you know how your Highness has recovered?"
Perhaps she thought that the prince might find other clues, or she herself could be regarded as half a doctor. The child saved by her own hands always felt a little different in her heart.
Wu Chiu shook his head and did not hide it from her: "the situation is not good. It is said that the high fever has not subsided since yesterday, and the imperial doctors are helpless."
Xu Mingyi's heart is slightly tight.
Such a weak body, if it can't reduce the fever for a long time, plus the previous drowning and fainting, even if it can survive, it will probably affect the mind
