Feng Ling Xi and Chen Qingyun looked at each other, as they did not understand what Chen Mu meant.
Chen Mu Mu didn't explain, but he knew that he would reveal the truth before long.
Feng Ling Xi and Chen Qingyun had no results from waiting so they went back to busy themselves.
Due to the appearance of the young man, Chen Mu Mu Mu's plan had changed. He pondered for a while before arriving at Qin Tianshui's residence.
With Qin Tianshui's jade pendant, it was easy to get in.
Grand Concubine Shen and Princess Mu Xu went to visit their families. Since there was no master at home, the butler brought Chen Mu in and served him some tea, then left her alone.
Chen Mu Mu Mu was bored, so she took the opportunity to stroll around the Li King Palace.
In the end, it was the residence of a country's prince. Although the rumors said that this prince was not favored by the late emperor and did not have much authority in the imperial court, as a descendant of the royal family, his background was still there. A skinny camel was still bigger than a horse, and no matter how poor he was, he was still much richer than an ordinary family.
After entering the Duke's Palace, he saw nine winding corridors, small bridges, flowing water, cornices, pavilions and pavilions. There were always flower gardens in the four seasons, and when spring flowers bloomed at the same time, it was as if one was in a fairyland, how beautiful and luxurious could it be described as?
Since they were waiting, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu could relax and admire the beautiful scenery.
She had been rich in the past and had visited many places before. However, her mental state was different and she did not have the leisure to wander around. Her daily busyness and stress could almost crush her flat.
Since ancient times, she had had time, but no money.
Without money, it was difficult to even take a single step on the road, needless to say, play around.
Thus, every time he reached a place, he would look at the scene of that place, and the memories would be deeply engraved in his heart. He would not have to live to see that place.
The Li King Palace was very big. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was wandering around in a garden, and in a blink of an eye, four to six hours had passed.
As the sun gradually set in the west, she was still sitting on the pavilion, teasing the fish swimming in the lake.
"You've been waiting for a long time?"
Chen Mu Mu Mu turned his head, and upon seeing the exhaustion on his face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, as though he was an old man facing the end of his life.
"How did you become so old in just a few hours?" Is the matter that the little Emperor arranged for you so difficult? "
"It is indeed a bit difficult. I have exhausted myself to the point of exhausting my heart and blood, so I am extremely tired." Qin Tianshui didn't stand on ceremony with her. He lifted his robe and sat by her side, then laid back casually. He crossed his legs on the pergola and closed his eyes slightly.
"You never visit the Three Treasures Palace for no reason, and usually you are invited to visit the Li King Palace, as if wanting to sell you. Why are you here yourself?"
Chen Mu Mu considered the words and said, "Yes, I have something that I need your help with."
Qin Tiansei suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was incredulous as if he had seen a ghost. "You're asking for my help?"
Was he that surprised?
Chen Mu broke out in a cold sweat, "Then will you help me or not?"
"Since you've already come to my door with a jade pendant, I can't not help with the promise I made myself." Qin Tiansei waved his hand and took out the precious jade bone fan. He suddenly opened it and fanned it, "Speak, what's the matter? To be able to make you take the initiative to look for me, it should not be a small matter. "
"To the prince, it should be a small matter." Chen Mu Mu Mu pondered for a moment before replying.
"Oh?" Qin Tianshui's eyes shone with interest. "Tell me about it."
Chen Mu then recounted the strange young man he met in the restaurant earlier. After Qin Tianshui heard this, he was slightly surprised. "He's just a swindler, yet you believe his lies?"
"I'm a businessman. I can't gamble." Chen Mu Mu frowned, "I've never come into contact with the matter of the curse before, so I'm afraid that I might get into trouble."
Qin Tianshui couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you poison him?" Are you afraid that he will settle the score with you? In any case, as you have said, it is not a loss to have someone else die with you. "
Although he said so, who would want to die for no reason if they could live well?
Chen Mu Mu's eyebrows tightened, "I didn't poison him. It's just an enhanced version of the itch powder. How could it have any long-term effects? When he regains his senses, he'll come and settle the score with me." My place is still weak, how could I be a match for those who seek revenge. "
Qin Tianli was speechless. "So the antidote you gave him, was also a lie?"
Chen Mu Mu nodded. "It's just sugar beans."
Therefore, Rong Rongliu's guess was not wrong. He was indeed eating sugar beans, but regarding his own health, he did not dare to gamble.
The corner of Qin Tiansei's mouth twitched as he laughed uncontrollably, "If he really did open his mouth and fool everyone in the world, then why didn't he use his deceit to the end when you were able to trick him?"
"Deceiving isn't real after all. When something isn't real, there will eventually be a day when the truth is revealed. It's just a matter of time." Chen Mu Mu Mu turned to look at the heartless Qin Tianshui, who was laughing so happily that tears almost fell from his eyes. He was a little depressed in his heart. "I've told you so much, are you going to help or not?"
Qin Tianshui was stared at by her sharp eyes, and his laughter finally stopped. He muttered to himself for a moment, then looked at her with clear eyes, "How do you want me to help?"
"I know that there are some capable and talented people in your mansion. Come to my restaurant and take a look, I wonder if there's something wrong with the layout of the restaurant." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
Qin Tianliang was slightly startled and took a moment to recover. "It's not that you want to see the layout, but you're afraid that that person might plant some strange mechanism or Gate Escape Technique in the restaurant?"
"That's right." One had to be wary of others.
"There are very few capable people in this world. You should be worrying about nothing. Why would such a powerful figure put his mind into you?"
"I can't gamble."
"..." "You win."
After persuading Qin Tianliang, Chen Mu Mu Mu was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he asked Qin Tianshui to find someone on the spot to go with him to the ninth floor to see Feng Shui.
Qin Tiansei didn't know what he'd been doing in the palace, but he'd been yawning along the way. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu looked at his drowsy appearance and had the urge to throw him on the ground for others to see.
The horse carriage stopped in front of the restaurant's entrance. Qin Tiansei's hanger-on got off the carriage and went inside to observe without even greeting them.
"Little Mu Mu, This King still thinks that you're overestimating yourself." Qin Tiansei yawned and said, "Not only is my hanger-on proficient in astronomical geography, he also knows extraordinary skills. I'm only using it to show you the feng shui restaurant. What a waste of talent."
"Helping someone depends on the person's needs rather than the amount of effort involved." Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't be bothered to argue with him, "I only have one restaurant. To me, the Feng Shui of a restaurant is naturally the greatest."
"That's reasonable." Qin Tianshui was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at her, with a deep look in his eyes. "You treat the people from the Shangguan family very well."
This inexplicable sentence caused Chen Mu Mu to quiver. She turned her head to look at Qin Tianshui with vigilance in her eyes.
"Qin Tianshui, I only bought this restaurant. Don't speak nonsense, it's not easy for a weak girl like me to do business here. Don't splash dirty water on me."
She hadn't forgotten that the people from Shangguan family were still in jail.
It was said that the anger of the Empress Dowager Tang had not dissipated yet. If someone had a good relationship with the Shangguan family, then they would be in trouble.
Chen Mu had just come out of Linzhou City's prison, but he didn't want to go back inside.
The air in that prison was not beautiful at all.
"This King didn't say anything, why are you feeling guilty?" Qin Tianli covered his lips with a jade fan, his long and narrow peach blossom eyes curved like crescent moons. "Actually, you're probably fond of that pretty boy from the Shangguan family, that's why you think so much for him, right?"
Chen Mu was speechless and surprised: "Why is it Shangguan Bai's fault?"
Did Shangguan Bai get shot while lying down?
"If you don't like him, why are you always thinking for him?" Glimmers danced in Qin Tianli's eyes. He seemed to be explaining it to her, but also seemed to be venting his frustration.
Chen Mu Mu stared at him, "Tell me clearly, what am I thinking for his sake? Isn't it just buying a shop from the Shangguan family? And this was even found for me by you. You always associate me with the Shangguan family, what is your purpose? "
Qin Tianshui's eyes were deep and steady as he stared at her.
For some inexplicable reason, Chen Mu Mu Mu felt a little guilty. The moment they locked gazes, he had the impulse to turn around and leave.
However, she hadn't done anything, so why should she feel guilty?
With this thought, he settled his emotions and stared back without any guilt.
Qin Tianshui pursed his lips into a smile. His long and narrow eyes were filled with a charming smile. "Just a casual question."
Chen Mu Mu continued glaring at him.
Qin Tianli smiled even more and didn't miss the opportunity to give her a coquettish glance.
"It's not like you don't know what This King is thinking of you. Seeing you take so much care of that pretty boy from the Shangguan family, it's just that your heart is a bit unbalanced."
What the hell was he jealous of? He could actually lie with his eyes wide open.
She was only a thirteen year old child, and she hadn't even fully matured yet. How could Qin Tianshui, this old fox, have taken a fancy to her?
Was it better to have old eyes than to have won the lottery?
Of course, Qin Tianshui's words weren't feasible, but no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to grasp the truth in his words.
Chen Mu's thoughts raced, and upon recalling the incident at the general's manor in the day, his eyes flickered.
Is that what he meant?
So what if that was the case? In any case, the military emblem was no longer in her hands. Even if he was displeased, what could he do to her?
The two of them were thinking about different things, when the guest from Li King who entered the restaurant finally came out. He cupped his hands towards Qin Tian Xi and Chen Mu, and said: "The so called incantation is just to trick people, but I found a formation in a corner of the second floor, after entering the second floor, it is easy for people to hallucinate, and if they walk into the illusion that they created, they will get into trouble."
Chen Mu was stunned. "Could it be that the youth I saw earlier was just an illusion created by me?"
This was impossible. The person she had seen in the day was clearly a living person.
She could still remember the heat that had come through his skin when she rubbed his face.
"Bring This King to take a look." Qin Tianshui said to his hanger-on.
The doorman nodded and led the two into the second floor.
Due to the wariness in his heart, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't see anything strange when she went upstairs. She could see everything on the second floor, but it was still empty.
She helplessly turned around and said to her hanger-on, "Where is this formation? Why haven't I seen it?"
But when he turned his head, there was nothing behind him.
