C178 Mysterious Yanzhou

I pulled Xia Shui and changed into a set of clothes, then swaggered out of the door. When I arrived at the door, the few guards still stopped me, I showed the order badge in my hands to them, and they immediately let me through.

As I was walking on the streets, I told Xia Shui, "This plate looks average too, I didn't expect it to be so easy to use." I played with it happily.

"Miss, this badge represents the prince. Seeing this badge is like seeing the prince, that's why they let you leave. They must have thought the prince gave it to you. Miss, where did you get this badge from?" Xia Shui pulled me back.

"Eh, this can be counted as a loan." I asked him what the pattern on the token was, but he didn't say anything. In the end, something awkward happened and when my brain got hot, I ran out and forgot to return the token. This morning, I was going to give it to him, but he entered the palace by himself.

"Miss, tell me the truth, you didn't steal it did you?" Xia Shui was nervous.

"How could that be? Did you think too highly of your young miss or did you underestimate your young master? Who wouldn't know anything about him?" I knocked on Xia Shui's head, she really thinks highly of me …

"Then Miss, how did you get it? Does Your Highness know that it's in Miss's hands." Xia Shui still had a face full of worry.

"I took it out in front of him. He didn't ask for it from me after yesterday, so I forgot." I curled my lips.

"As long as it wasn't stolen, miss, you really are too daring."

"Alright, stop nagging. I'll treat you to some candied fruits later." I held Xia Shui's arm and laughed.

"Miss, didn't you want to come find young master Qi? Let's go and quickly come back." Xia Shui's face was full of rejection, and she even pulled me, who wanted to buy the candied fruits, away.

"What are you panicking for? It's still early." I dragged Xia Shui back.

I pulled Xia Shui along and started to wander the streets. The previous few times, I was with Bai Jing and the rest, and spent most of my time in the carriage, unable to properly look around.

"Xia Shui, where do you think we'll be able to learn some gossip?" I have a candied fruit in my mouth and a pastry in my hand, I said as I ate.

"Teahouses, restaurants, these places should be good enough." Xia Shui said without thinking.

"Alright, then let's go to the restaurant. Let's go eat something delicious." I ignored Xia Shui's objections and pulled her along as I sprinted towards the nearby restaurant. As soon as we went in, a waiter greeted us enthusiastically, and he was actually the waiter from last time. When he saw me, he was also a little surprised, I was wearing men's clothing that I had specially arranged for others to wear today, and was dressed like a man with Xia Shui's clothes. I looked at the waiter's hesitant gaze and knew that he had recognised me.

"Miss, I told you before that we shouldn't dress in such a strange manner. Look at how awkward it is right now." Xia Shui covered his head and told me with a regretful tone.

"You're the one who said that I can't be recognized as a princess. It's disrespectful. Besides, what are you afraid of?"

"Hello, we meet again." I grinned and greeted the waiter.

"This one." Young Master, what orders do you have? " The waiter was a little hesitant, so I winked at him. He immediately understood that he didn't expose us, but rather covered for us.

"Let's eat, you two." I smiled gratefully.

"Follow me." The waiter immediately brought us to a secluded corner. It was not very eye-catching, but this waiter was very quick-witted and was very observant. He would definitely do something in the future.

"Give us a few of the best dishes in your restaurant." I said to the waiter.

The waiter brought a cup of tea and poured it out before nodding his head. When he passed over the cup of tea, I subconsciously said, "Thank you." The waiter paused for a moment, then nodded, "You are a good person." He suddenly spoke.

I was stunned by his words before I smiled and said, "You too. You will definitely be an extraordinary person in the future." The waiter had tears in his eyes as he lowered his head and left.

While I drank my tea, I continued to drink the seeds while Xia Shui maintained a cautious face, afraid that I would see someone I know. On the surface, I was just resting, but I had already heard the contents of the conversation in the neighboring seats.

A man said to his companion, "Sigh, don't you guys think it's strange that the young miss of the Gu family hasn't appeared for a long time? I heard that the second young master of the Gu Shang Shu family took a fancy to her, but in the end, Miss Yan didn't like her, so the Gu Shang Shu got kissed and sent her a betrothal gift over, and in the end, he was sent back. Because of this, Gu Shang Shu couldn't even raise his head for a long time, so why didn't that Young Master Gu Er stay behind every day?"

"That Miss Yan is probably hiding somewhere. I say, this Young Master Gu is a lecherous young master, and he is coveting that person's beauty. If this Miss Yan were to marry him, it would be ruined." Someone said.

"That's right. I heard that Second Young Master Gu just killed a young lady a few days ago. In the end, he relied on his father and nothing happened at all."

Then there was a sigh, a few people were talking bad about Gu Lu, and they were even feeling sorry for the dead brothel girl, I would sigh too, looks like no one knew that this Miss Yan was dead yet.

However, I was puzzled. This Yan Huan has already been dead for so long, so his family should have known about it by now. However, they didn't announce it, nor did they announce it.

I was perplexed. It seemed that I had to go to Yan Huan's house to inquire about the matter. The waiter had already served the dishes. "Hai, waiter, do you know how that Yan Mansion is going to leave?" I asked the waiter.

"Young master is talking about that Yanzhou."

"It's that Miss Yan Huan's residence." I laughed.

"Just head west and you'll see."

"Okay, thanks a lot." I smiled as I thanked him, then instructed Xia Shui, "Eat faster, there's something you need to do." Although Xia Shui had a face full of bewilderment, she still did as she said.

After the two of us were done eating, we left the restaurant and followed the waiter's directions. Sure enough, we soon arrived at the Yan Residence. After all, Yan Huan's father was only a sixth rank official, so his mansion wasn't too big. Strangely, this Yan Huan's mansion had been closed for half a day and there weren't even guards around. I was curious. Could it be that he had already moved away?
