On the second day, everyone in the imperial court was shocked once again. The original Battle King's son, the current Battle King Tuoba Hong, had actually begged His Majesty to personally investigate the case of General Baltic's accomplice in the morning assembly.
Those people who thought that Tuoba Hong would stand idly by the side or secretly save them miscalculated, because Tuoba Hong openly wanted to give them a chance to turn things around.
Of course, Tuoba Hong begged the emperor to let the crown prince supervise it in order to prevent him from failing to perform his duty during the investigation. He earnestly said that he believed in General Ba's character and also believed in the character of the left pavilion elder.
"Hey, have you heard that Heir Hong is going to personally help General Ba?"
"What great successor? He's the Battle King. I was already saying so. General Baltic's battle achievements are impressive, how could he be traitorous towards his enemies?"
"Yeah, maybe someone set him up. I believe in Hongshi … The Battle King will definitely give him a clean slate. "
As a result, the original public opinion gradually changed under the intentional guidance of some people. Since Liu Chengfeng wanted to plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of the crowd, and he had already succeeded, it would be extremely difficult to remove the seed.
So, Yue Luoxue used the simplest method, which was to plant another seed of doubt. If the two completely opposite seeds of doubt were to be planted at the same time, the effects of the previous seed would be greatly reduced.
"Master, it's too high, I'm afraid Liu Chengfeng is so angry that his nose is crooked right?" Qing Huan and Yue Luoxue were in the crowd. They were dressed neatly in maid attire, and lacked the usual seductive aura.
Yue Luoxue laughed: "This is the effect of public opinion, Liu Chengfeng definitely won't admit defeat like this, you have to watch his movements more recently, remember my words, don't get too close, he has a strange expert by his side."
He didn't know if the person who could fight against the Young Master Rong was still alive or not. In any case, he couldn't let Qing Huan take the risk.
"Little Snow!" raised her head and saw Mo Shanghua pouting towards her, "You're too heartless, even though I said that you'd look for me!"
Yue Luoxue immediately smiled apologetically: "Alright, I've been a bit busy these past two days, can I compensate you by treating you to a meal today? "Anything is fine."
When Mo Shanghua appeared, Qing Huan had already disappeared into the crowd, as if she was just a stranger to him.
Mo Shanghua immediately laughed: "Alright, since you are so sincere, I will cut down on you. You are the second ranked restaurant in the city!"
As she spoke, Mo Shanghua held Yue Luoxue's hand. The light in Yue Luoxue's eyes faltered slightly, and then, without batting an eyelid, she put away the thing Mo Shanghua had given him and pulled her along, "Don't bother with the second place, the one who is ranked first. I've made a huge profit by treating the Battle King's sister!"
The two of them walked hand in hand towards the biggest restaurant, not far away, there were two figures following them. They were General Mo Mu's men, and were in charge of monitoring Mo Shanghua's movements, and upon seeing that she knew the Battle King's Manor's doctor, they were both surprised, one of them left to report while the other followed.
The two of them found a window seat on the second floor of the restaurant and sat down. Mo Shanghua said in a low voice: "Grandfather asked me to pass that to you."
Yue Luoxue poured a cup of water and said, "Mn, Ah Hua, no matter what you discover in the next two days, do not act rashly. Do you remember?"
"I understand. Do you think I'm still an ignorant child? It's just that you and grandpa are hiding these things from me. It's really too heartbreaking." Mo Shanghua laughed so much that her eyes curved into crescents, looking at the two from afar, it seemed like they were talking about happy things again.
Yue Luoxue pushed the cup of water over. "Alright, alright, I'll give you a proper explanation later on. With someone following you, it's really inconvenient to talk."
When Mo Shanghua saw the waiter, she purposely said: "Humph, I'm going to go all out today. Waiter, serve me all the signature dishes in your shop!"
The waiter was shocked by Mo Shanghua's grandeur. The dishes here were not simple dishes after all. He subconsciously glanced at Yue Luoxue, and before Yue Luoxue could say anything, he heard a voice.
"Serve the dishes. I'll be treating you to dinner."
Yue Luoxue's eyes flashed with a cold light. She had finally met Liu Chengfeng, but there was a smile on her face, "How can I be embarrassed? I don't need to trouble Crown Prince prince anymore."
Liu Chengfeng was wearing a pair of black boots with gold engravings on it. He was wearing a moon-white robe with dragon engravings on it, and he couldn't help but be surprised, not thinking that Liu Chengfeng's white clothes were not bad, and the feminine look on his face made him seem a little more scholarly.
Beside Liu Chengfeng stood the North Qi Crown Prince, Tuoba, whom Yue Luoxue had met once before. He looked at Yue Luoxue with a strange expression: "Eh? Isn't this physician from Hongdi's residence? Prince Feng knows him? "
Liu Chengfeng smiled lightly: "I am not the only one who knows him. Luoxue still owes me a meal! I've lost all my chrysanthemums. "
Yue Luoxue laughed: "prince is joking, I left in a hurry that day, I hope that prince can forgive me. How about I treat you today?"
Liu Chengfeng's dark green eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Tuoba: "Crown Prince, what do you think?"
Tuoba laughed out loud: "We North Qi people like to make friends, then let's eat together. But since I'm treating you to dinner, let's do the host's favor!"
The surrounding people looked at Yue Luoxue in shock. What kind of background did this woman have?
Mo Shanghua also pulled Yue Luoxue a little, and said in a small voice: "Xiao Xue, your Peach Blossom isn't bad, you're all handsome boys by your side!"
Yue Luoxue pinched her, signalling her not to say anything, Liu Chengfeng was too smart, and might expose her secret, Mo Shanghua curled her lips, but she paid attention to a lot of what she was saying.
Tuoba's heart trembled slightly. Liu Chengfeng was clearly interested in this woman, could it be that he liked her? She was indeed beautiful, and although he did not like this type, the aesthetic of Chinese men was not the same as their own.
If he was really interested in this woman, then it would be bad for her to stand on Tuoba Hong's side. Men would be so hot-headed to do things wrong for women.
He understood this logic because his own royal father had used this point to completely cripple the previous Battle-King!
"Miss Luo, how is Yu'er?" Tuoba had nothing to say.
Yue Luoxue sighed, her appetite turning sour. "Sigh, the death of the Battle King is too big of a blow to her, her body isn't as strong as in the past, and now she can only use medicine to hang herself."
"Ah, then I'll leave it to Miss Luo to worry about. Recently, little brother Hong has had a lot of things to do. If there's anything you need, feel free to ask." Tuoba had a look of pity on his face.
"Thank you for your concern, Crown Prince." Before Yue Luoxue could say anything, she heard Tuoba Hong's voice.
Mo Shanghua was currently gnawing on a lamb leg, and upon hearing the wild and magnetic voice, she couldn't help but raise her head. Then, he froze.
At that moment, her heart suddenly jumped, and the lamb leg in her hand fell to the ground, knocking over the teacup on the table. Mo Shanghua was instantly flustered.
Yue Luoxue hurried to help her clean up: "Why were you so careless, quickly wipe away."
Mo Shanghua's face turned red, it was truly embarrassing. Since young, this was definitely her greatest shame, luckily her clothes were only slightly stained with water, she wasn't embarrassed.
"Little Snow, that person is the Battle King?"
"That's right, Tuoba Hong, don't be afraid of him, although he looks a little burly, he's actually a good person." Yue Luoxue thought Mo Shanghua was shocked.
The blush on Mo Shanghua's face deepened as she said unhappily, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm not even afraid of the frontwolves on the prairie, what reason would I have to be afraid of him!"
Mo Shanghua had been following her grandfather around grazing since a young age, they did not have a fixed home, so it was normal for them to encounter wolves on the plains. The first time she met her was when she was being chased by a wolf, while the girl on the white horse killed the wolf that was chasing him.
Therefore, Mo Shanghua was really bold, it was just that she had very little contact with other people, and her personality was very simple and lively.
Tuoba Hong very consciously sat on the other side of Yue Luoxue, and the waiter had already quickly changed their cups, plates and tablecloths. The two princes from before were princes now, so they didn't dare to slight them.
Tuoba glanced at Tuoba Hong and asked with concern, "Brother Hong, how is the investigation going?"
Tuoba Hong said tiredly: "There isn't much progress, but I believe that General Baltic is not that kind of person."
"I also think that something is strange. After all, General Baltic followed Uncle Battling King for a long time, and after that, he also followed you. Sigh, who would have known that something like this would happen?" Tuoba sighed.
Tuoba Hong laughed faintly: "Maybe it was someone else who framed me. It's too early to say anything, since the result hasn't come out yet."
The two talked for a while, and the people around them started to listen in. Liu Chengfeng's expression remained indifferent, but from time to time, his gaze would shoot towards Yue Luoxue.
He kept having the feeling that Yue Luoxue had other motives for coming to the North Qi, but when he investigated her, he did not find anything abnormal. Could it be that she was really here to treat Tuoba Yu, and there was no relation between Nalan Rongxuan and her?
Yue Luoxue and Mo Shanghua did not participate in their discussion. They were only responsible for eating, and as if they felt Liu Chengfeng's gaze, they smiled at him and continued to wildly eat with their heads lowered.
Liu Chengfeng blinked his eyes when he heard the laughter, but Yue Luoxue actually rolled his eyes at a place that he could not see. This guy was a dog, she was too sharp, and she had to be even more careful, so that Liu Chengfeng would not be able to discover anything.
"Luoxue, try this. It's a specialty of our North Qi!" Tuoba Hong gave Yue Luoxue a piece of mutton.
Yue Luoxue replied with an "Oh" and did not feel that anything was amiss. In the past, the two would only share a piece of the meat when they were roasting, so Mo Shanghua, who was at the side, had her eyes darken slightly as she silently lowered her head to eat.
The corner of Liu Chengfeng's mouth held a smile, and he also picked up some vegetables for Yue Luoxue: "Luoxue, eat some more."
Yue Luoxue frowned without batting an eyelid, this was clearly Liu Chengfeng's doing, even though she was using the male chopsticks, she really did not want to eat the things that Liu Chengfeng was holding in his hands!
Tuoba watched the three of them interact with interest. A glint flashed across his eyes. "This physician is not simple."
It was one thing if there were three men scheming, but Mo Shanghua was a little confused. She looked a lot more refined as she ate, Yue Luoxue raised her head to look at the three men, could it be that this girl knew how to be shy?
