Chapter 213 You look like you're dying. You too.

Qiao Wanyan didn't wake up until the afternoon. The maid in Yongning Pavilion was massaging her calves. When Zi Yuan walked in from outside, she had an uncontrollable gossipy look on her face.

"Miss, guess what strange things happened in the capital during our absence?"

Qiao Wanyan didn't even raise her eyelids. "What's the matter?"

Zi Yuan approached and squatted at her feet, "Miss, I don't know who has destroyed the Sixth Young Master of the Earl of Pingyang's Mansion!"

Qiao Wanyan raised her eyes, "Disabled? How did he become disabled? Is he missing an arm or a leg?"

This is something new.

Zi Yuan: "You are such a loser who can't have a child in this life!"

Qiao Wanyan took a deep breath and said, "That's great. It's perfect for the Sixth Young Master of the Earl of Pingyang to serve in the palace."

Zi Yuan laughed loudly, "I don't know who did this great deed. The Sixth Young Master had at least 50 concubines in his backyard, and now they have all been dismissed. I heard that Concubine Shu got very angry after returning to the capital, and begged the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly! But the emperor not only did not agree, but also reprimanded Concubine Shu."

Situ Yue had always been a lustful man. Because there were so many concubines in his courtyard, no daughter from a good family in the capital was willing to marry into the family and suffer.

At that time, Concubine Shu wanted to bring the young lady together with Situ Yue, and even wanted to ask the emperor to grant them a marriage. She was so annoying!

Now, let’s see how Concubine Shu continues to plan for the young lady.

Qiao Wanyan said slowly, "He deserves it. But Concubine Shu is too tactless. How could the emperor possibly deal with such a trivial matter?"

But, Situ Yue is the son of an earl after all. Who would have the courage to act so recklessly in the capital?

He was so ruthless at the first move, it really makes people curious about who he is.

Zi Yuan also said bitterly, "Miss, you are right! That Sixth Young Master is a nasty person. He has repeatedly caused trouble for Miss and he deserves this fate."

Qiao Wanyan found her resentful look somewhat amusing, "Okay, I heard that Mingyue Tower has just launched a new sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored yogurt. Go get someone to buy it."

Zi Yuan said, "Miss, I met Master Xu in the mansion before. He knew that I was going to buy cheese, so he said that he would buy it personally for you to eat in order to thank you for the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone you gave him."

Qiao Wanyan tucked the hair that fell down beside her temples and said, "He is really thoughtful."

"Young Master Xu will bring some cheese later. Do you want to see him?"

Qiao Wanyan shook her head. "No need. My time is precious and I don't have time to see him."

The Prince of Xiling was settled in the former Mansion of Marquis Zhenkang. In the past, the Marquis Zhenkang committed a crime and his nine clans were executed, so the mansion was returned to the royal family.

The palace was not suitable for a hostage to live in, and there was no other suitable place in the entire capital, so Chen Che had no choice but to be placed here.

Next to the Zhenkang Marquis’ Mansion is the Minister of Revenue’s Mansion.

Chen Che looked at the wall that had cracks and had never been repaired for many years. On the other side of the wall was the Shangshu Mansion, the home of the second young lady.

Cang Xing Youjian blinked. The house arranged by the old emperor was quite interesting.

"Master, you have been busy for a long time, now you should take a good rest. The master bedroom has been cleaned up, may I accompany you there?"

Chen Che was silent for a moment. "We came all the way from Xiling and brought a lot of local specialties with us. I am a good friend of the Second Miss of the Shangshu Mansion in Dayue Department. Now that I live next door, I should come to visit her with gifts."

Su Fei: “….”

No, when did the Second Miss become friends with the Master?

Chen Che looked back and said calmly, "What are you standing there for? Go get ready."

Su Fei nodded, "Yes."

Chen Che withdrew his gaze and continued to quietly look at the dilapidated wall. He did not move for a long time, standing there like a stone statue.

A gentle breeze blew across his face, and a sparrow landed on his shoulder, turning its head to look around.

Chen Che still didn't move, and the man and the bird lived together quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Fei came over with everything ready to report, and then Chen Che slowly turned around and left.

In the carriage, Shen Che said slowly: "It doesn't feel good to be a proton. Just now, three or four people were watching me looking at a wall."

Su Fei listened to his master's faint resentment, and felt that his master was about to ask him to tear those spies into pieces in the next second.

However, no orders were given for a long time.

"Master, please be patient. It is better to be in Xiling than in Dayu. We don't know who is behind those spies. If we act rashly, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Chen Che was stroking a chess piece. The chess game on the table was the one he played on the way from Shanglin Paddock to Beijing.

He looked at the chessboard quietly, and finally placed the black chess piece down.

"Kill them all."

Shen Che gave the order nonchalantly.

Su Fei hesitated, "But Master..."

Chen Che: "We have allies in this capital, and allies are used to solve troubles."

After that, he added: "I hate being stared at."

At the gate of Shangshu Mansion, Shen Che got off the carriage and saw a young man standing at the gate.

The man was tall and slender in a long green gown, with a handsome face and a graceful figure. Although he was simple from head to toe, the coldness he inadvertently revealed carried a deep and bottomless mystery.

Su Fei stepped forward and said, "My prince is here to visit Miss Qiao Er. Could you please let her know?"

The servant looked at Chen Che and then at the boxes the servants behind him were holding. "Prince? Whose prince is he?"

Su Fei said: "My son came from Xiling."

The servant understood immediately that it was the Prince of Xiling that everyone in the capital was talking about. It was said that he lived next door to the Shangshu Mansion.

"I will go and pass the message on. Please wait for a moment, Your Highness."

There was complete silence in front of the door.

Only Xu Shujian and his servant were left, along with Prince Xiling and his trusted men.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Shen Che asked, looking at the box in Xu Shujian's hand.

Xu Shujian said calmly, "Cheese."

"Who is it for?"

"Second Miss."

The obsidian-like eyes were shining with a dark light. "What is your relationship with her?"

Xu Shujian's tone remained calm: "It's an unspeakable relationship."

Chen Che frowned slightly, "You look like you have a short life."

Xu Shujian retracted his gaze and looked inside the door, saying in a light tone, "You too."

Chen Che also retracted his gaze, this man was still so disgusting.
