Dongfang Ruoxue was very surprised. She opened the letter and saw only a few simple words: Sincerely, Lian Muhan.

But these five words are more effective than any panacea. Dongfang Ruoxue opened the box immediately, and found a bracelet inside. It was made of warm white jade and felt cool to the touch. She tried it, and because of her illness, her wrist was thinner, so the bracelet was a little big for her.

Dongfang Ruoxue's heart was pounding. What on earth did Lian Muhan mean? No matter what he meant, he was too bold. If this kind of thing got out, between them...

Why didn't you send it earlier?

Dongfang Ruoxue was sad and happy at the same time. Suddenly, she broke out in a sweat. She sat weakly on the bed, staring blankly at the red sandalwood box. Why did he give her this? How dare he give it to her when he didn't even know whether she would accept it or not?

Did he know what I felt?

Then there will be no chance in this life.

He and she were destined to miss each other.

Thinking of this, she took off the bracelet. Looking at the bracelet was like a needle piercing her heart, causing her unbearable pain.

**********

Changle Street.

It is the street in front of Shouwang Mansion.

The hawking sounds continued one after another. Suddenly, a woman stopped in front of a dough figurine stall. She pulled a tall and burly man beside her and said, "Brother, look, the dough figurines here are better than those we have."

The man had very thick eyebrows that stood up, and he looked fierce, but his tone was very kind: "Why do you think everything here is better than our hometown? You really do as the Romans do..."

"Brother, you're making fun of me again. If you continue like this, I won't go shopping with you. You go that way and I'll go this way. I'm in a good mood today and want to go shopping, but you're here to spoil my mood... Boss, can you make us look like brother and sister?" The woman was very lively, with smart eyes, but she was taller than ordinary people.

The boss knew they were wealthy people by their appearance, so he immediately greeted them and said he could pinch anything. His hands moved flexibly. The woman's eyes were completely attracted by the master's hands. She said, "Brother, this Yunze capital is really fun."

The master said, "From your accents, you don't sound like locals. Are you here for sightseeing?"

"Yes, Master, please tell me which restaurant has the best wine. We are going to go there for a drink later."

"Wine? Seeing how you are so elegant, why don't you go to Wanquan Teahouse to drink tea? People who can afford to drink that kind of tea are people of status. Besides, ordinary people are not allowed to enter that teahouse. You have to spend ten taels of silver to enter, but it is enough for ordinary people like us to live for half a year. If you have money, go and have a look. I heard that the water in that teahouse is hard to find in the world."

"Ten thousand springs? Are there really ten thousand springs?"

"I heard that it was true. The people who came out were all satisfied. They felt like they had become gods."

"Brother, shall we go take a look?"

"Yuezhu, it's time for us to go back too."

"There's no danger here. I really want to try the Wanquan tea."

These two people are Lei Yuezhu and his brother.

The two of them had been in the capital for three days. On the first day, the minister went to the palace to meet Emperor Yunqi, but the brother and sister did not follow him in. Lei Yuezhu was very curious about everything in front of her, so she pulled him out to play.

"Okay." Lei Tianwei sighed. As for his sister, he really wanted whatever she asked. He couldn't refuse her requests at all. He even satisfied the unreasonable requests.

Lei Yuezhu also grasped this point of his, so she was spoiled by him to the point of lawlessness. Fortunately, most of the time she knew what she was doing and was quite knowledgeable about the rules.

"Brother, do you think the prince of Dongze will come out shopping? Is it possible for me to meet him?" Lei Yuezhu asked with a smile.

Lei Tianwei frowned: "I'm afraid it's unlikely."

"You want to see the prince? You're lucky to meet me. The prince often goes to Wanquan Teahouse, and many dignitaries also go there." The dough figurine master knows a lot. No wonder, Wanquan Teahouse is so arrogant and even disdains customers. It's really rare.

Finally, the brother and sister entered the Wanquan Teahouse. As soon as they entered the house, they saw a lush tree growing in the main hall. The tree was as tall as the second floor. Upon closer inspection, it was a tea tree with shiny green leaves. There was a stream coming from nowhere, dripping on the trunk and flowing down along the twisted branches. The soil at the bottom of the tree was red soil, moist, and there were two or three clumps of grass. Except for the few feet square land of the tea tree, the rest was paved with logs. Walking on it, it felt trembling, because there was land underground and the second floor was paved with bluestone slabs.

The word "elegant" alone is not enough to describe the teahouse. There is another word, "ingenious". The walls are covered with plants from the south. When you move around and turn a corner, you can see a pool of water. A spring is bubbling out from the ground. The water flows around the designed small channel, winding and flowing to an unknown place. Logically, the first floor is so humid and warm, and the second floor should be moldy and hairy. But it is just the opposite. When the guests arrive at the private room on the second floor, it is refreshing and pleasant. It turns out that the walls and floors of the second floor are filled with porous wood charcoal chips that absorb moisture, and there are charcoal barrels in the four corners of the room, but they are hidden by green plants on top.

Lei Mingzhu looked at everything in front of him and said, "Wow, brother, this is great. I hope you can build a teahouse like this when you go back someday."

"I don't like drinking tea." Lei Tianwei said sullenly. He likes drinking.

Lei Yuezhu ignored him and waved her hand, "You guys go out and wait. There's no one else in here. It's very safe."

The two secret guards behind him had no choice but to leave and go outside.

"Hey, guys, let your boss come to see me." Lei Yuezhu spoke in a very generous manner.

The waiter said, "Excuse me, sir, are you dissatisfied with our service?"

"No, I just want to meet your boss. It's really admirable that you designed it like this."

The boss came very quickly, a tall and thin middle-aged man who was hard to find in the crowd. Lei Yuezhu looked him up and down, feeling very disappointed, and ordered a snow lotus tea.

After taking a sip, she couldn't taste any difference. Originally, she just came to watch the fun and knew nothing about the tea ceremony. However, she was full of praise for the snacks served. The pastry was green and had the fragrance of tea. She had eaten a lot of fish in the past few days, and after eating this snack, all the greasiness was gone.

"Brother, I heard that Dongfang Jin is very handsome. Have you seen him?"

"No."

"Then why did his concubine suddenly become pregnant? Do you think he will marry me?"

"You, you don't even have a proper way of eating." Lei Tianwei did not answer her directly.

Lei Yuezhu frowned. "If he doesn't marry me, I will tell my father and have a serious fight with them. Last time we fought, we didn't use elite troops. We were just a mob. They didn't win. We are for the people of both countries and don't want the war to spread. What do you think, brother?"

Lei Tianwei looked a little embarrassed: "Those are not a mob, sister, please speak softly, there are eyes and ears everywhere, we are in someone else's territory, so we should not go too far."

In fact, he was not a low-key person, but he was a little annoyed by his sister's noise these two days. More importantly, he saw the portrait of Dongfang Ruoxue. Envoy Wu got it from somewhere. The woman under the plum blossom was like a fairy. He had never seen anyone more beautiful than her. He also heard that she was one of the four most outstanding people in the capital, and her painting was also a masterpiece. He didn't know how outstanding she was. Today he asked someone to buy her paintings. He really wanted to get married, so he didn't want his sister to cause trouble.

"You're fine. Emperor Yunqi has issued an edict, but I haven't received any news yet." Lei Yuezhu lost her appetite when she thought of this and lowered her head.

"You have condescended to become the Crown Prince's concubine, so what else can't they do?" Lei Tianwei's face darkened, "Sister, don't belittle yourself."

Lei Yuezhu nodded: "I will, but this Emperor Yunqi is too stingy. He didn't even bother to treat us to a banquet, but only sent people to give us some rewards. It's not like we haven't seen those things before. We just want to see the person."

Having said this, she stood up, and Lei Tianwei suddenly pounced on her. With a ding, an arrow was nailed to the wall, but not halfway into the wall. It was exactly where Lei Yuezhu was standing just now. The secret guards outside rushed in and pushed open the window. A man screamed. He was hit in the shoulder by an arrow. The Lei brothers and sisters took the opportunity to hide in the corner. The two guards retreated, and only the two of them dared not go out rashly. The arrow was shot from outside. Was there an assassin in the teahouse as well?

As soon as something happened here, the guy over there rushed in, looked at everything in the room with sharp eyes, and whispered: "Follow me."

After going downstairs and trying to enter the room, Lei Tianwei stopped my sister and looked at the waiter warily. The waiter understood what he meant and said hurriedly, "I will immediately arrange for someone to escort you out. Come on, go out and find the thief who shot the arrow from the back. He is so bold to assassinate us in Wanquan Teahouse."

The dude doesn't act like a dude at all.

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and Lei Tianwei knew that he had really met a master.

This guy’s kung fu is probably not inferior to mine.

Of course, he soon realized that if the people from Wanquan Teahouse wanted to deal with him, they could just put some drugs in the tea and there would be no need to make such a big fuss.

But who wants to assassinate me?

Emperor Yunqi must give an explanation for this matter, as this happened on Dongze’s territory.

Soon a few skillful waiters left the teahouse, but when they came back they shook their heads and said that the man had not been found.

The waiter said to Lei Tianwei, "Sir, please tell me how this matter is handled. Otherwise, how about I report it to the police for you two?"

"Okay, report to the police immediately." Lei Tianwei's eyes were filled with resentment.
