Now that these people have been driven away, they all feel fortunate.

Moreover, after this group was made an example of, many more people quickly left the group.

It was obviously an extra member of the group.

In an instant, they finally realized the benefits of the cloud store's practice of limiting the number of customers to use bamboo strips.

As for why the cloud shop owner was able to clearly recognize that these people were all in the same group.

That's easy. They have powerful connections; they can easily investigate everything with a few simple steps.

An ordinary person wouldn't dare buy a single vegetable in a day; one person could easily stand in line.

They also had no way to sell their vegetables to wealthy households at high prices.

Those who can travel in large groups must be extraordinary; investigating all of them will clarify the situation.

"Is that even possible?" After listening to the waiter's explanation, Zhou Hanshan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can she remember everyone?"

The shopkeeper chuckled, "Who knows? But those who were trying to speculate have all been caught. I heard that seven servants from a wealthy family came early in the morning to queue, and two of them were caught. But those people didn't cause any trouble, and the other two left on their own. The people who got the tickets can still buy vegetables."

"Wow, putting everything else aside, this memory is truly impressive," Yu Shaolian couldn't help but say.

After all, he had just had someone try it yesterday, and they also found out.

The retired emperor was listening intently when the guard who had gone out to inquire returned and whispered a few words in his ear.

The Emperor Emeritus's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, she quickly relaxed her brow, a hint of realization dawning on her face.

"How is he feeling now?"

Judging from his aura, he doesn't seem like a sick or weak person.

The retired emperor was taken aback, turning his head in surprise, "Are you sure?"

The guard hurriedly shook his head, "It's too far away. That shopkeeper, Yun, is very perceptive. I can't get close enough to investigate."

The Emperor Emeritus's eyes darkened slightly as he tapped the table lightly and suddenly spoke.

"Go to the manor and inform them that I will be visiting him with my third uncle this afternoon."

The guard accepted the order and went outside again.

The retired emperor also got up and walked outside, glancing sideways in the direction of the Cloud Pavilion restaurant before turning and leaving West Street.

In the Cloud Pavilion vegetable shop, Fu Ziyu was standing next to Yun Zhiyi, helping her carve vermilion marks on bamboo strips for customers.

Uncle Yang stood to one side, looking at him with kind eyes.

In his younger days, he would have taught his young master not to despise his status and to mingle with these common people.

Not to mention, they also get involved in such money-grubbing business dealings.

But ever since he left the palace to take care of the young master, his mindset and thoughts have been constantly changing.

No rules matter; he only hopes that his young master can be healthy and happy.

Thinking of the letter he had written, he pursed his lips slightly, a hint of helplessness and regret flashing in his eyes.

Perhaps this carefree and untroubled life won't last long.

At this moment, a servant hurried in, went to Yang Bo's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yang Bo's expression suddenly changed. He looked at him in astonishment and whispered, "Are you sure?"

"The brand has been verified and is genuine."

Yang Bo's face tightened, and he immediately looked at the young master, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Young master, two guests have arrived at the manor. You may need to return."

Fu Ziyu was surprised.

They lived here for a year, and only the Empress Dowager and the old lady of the Rongguo Duke knew their whereabouts.

Thinking about who might be coming, his eyes first lit up, then he frowned, turned to look at Yun Zhiyi, his eyes filled with reluctance.

If it really is someone coming from his home, his health condition can't be hidden, which means he may have to leave soon.

Yun Zhiyi turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fu Ziyu pursed his lips, looking somewhat dejected.

"I have guests at home and need to go back."

Yun Zhiyi chuckled, "Then hurry back and come back when you have time."

Fu Ziyu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything and just nodded gently.

"Okay, then I'll head back now."

"Go."

Yun Zhiyi watched him leave with a smile, but her fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

At this distance, she could naturally hear any whispers clearly.

The retired emperor and Prince Cheng were also in Lufeng City. Were they there to see the little guy on purpose, or was there some other reason?

The plot, as we know, doesn't focus much on these two characters.

It was only briefly mentioned.

The retired emperor was a magnanimous person who did not covet power and abdicated early.

While the third grandson is still alive, he will remain in the capital.

After his third grandson passed away, he lived a carefree life, wandering the world and never participating in court struggles again.

The third grandson, also known as Prince Cheng.

Wounds sustained on the battlefield can be fatal, and descriptions of such injuries are even less frequent.

He was only briefly mentioned as brave and skilled in battle, but unfortunately, he died from his extreme poverty and will likely succumb to his illness next year.

At this point, the other person should be in extremely poor health, so how could they possibly travel all the way to Lufeng City?

Could it be that they came here to stay because they found out their nephew was recuperating?

This would be normal for an ordinary family, but it wouldn't be normal for royalty.

In particular, the Second Prince and the Empress's legitimate sons, Prince Cheng and Prince Qu, are opposing sides.

If the Emperor Emeritus hadn't come along, she would have suspected that he was trying to harm Fu Ziyu.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the retired emperor was tricked into coming.

After all, it is said that this person dotes on this third grandson the most.

It's a pity he didn't put a spirit seed on the little guy.

It seems I'll have to put one in sometime when I have the chance.

Although she didn't want to get involved in those troubles, she got a very good impression of the little guy after spending time with him.

It's rare for someone to catch her eye so easily; it's a kind of fate, and she'll protect them if she can.

While she was worried about the little one, Fu Ziyu was also concerned about her safety.

"Uncle Yang, is there really no other way? Should I continue to pretend to be sick?"

"Absolutely not. Since His Majesty and Prince Cheng knew you were here and came directly to your door, it means they had already investigated and might already know the truth."

“But what if they pressure my sister? She finally has a stable life of her own, and I don’t want to cause her trouble, or even put her life in danger.”

Everyone knows that Prince Cheng's health is very poor.

The Emperor's grandfather had sent people to seek medical help from Medicine King Valley many times, but it is said that he had never succeeded.

If they knew they were cured, they certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass them by.

The elixir my sister gave me is so miraculous; it must be extremely rare.

He didn't even know if his sister was still alive.

Even if she did have it, given her sister's temperament, she probably wouldn't give it away easily.

Not to mention that his situation was ultimately different from that of the Third Prince. His sister's medicine was effective for him, but it might not be effective for the Third Prince.

In any case, this matter is a troublesome one for my sister.

He knew very well that his sister hated troublesome things the most.

If a conflict were to break out between the two sides, the outcome would be detrimental to the older sister.

Uncle Yang couldn't do anything about it.

Who would have thought that the retired emperor and Prince Cheng would arrive in Lufeng City at this time?

wrong!

Yang Bo's expression changed.

"Your Majesty and Prince Cheng, it seems you did not come here by chance, but perhaps you learned of your situation and came specifically to find you."

Fu Ziyu was taken aback, then understood, and his face immediately turned pale.
