Jiang Yimian was taken aback and stared at the white-tailed eagle for a while. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it had no intention of attacking anyone.
My gaze fell on the bright red camellia on the back of the white-tailed eagle.
Because of the brightly blooming camellia, the white-tailed eagle looked less fierce and more comical.
Judging from its size and the luster of its feathers, it must be someone's pet; it's clearly well cared for.
Xiao Qi stared at the white-tailed eagle for a while before saying, "This white-tailed eagle is arrogant, fierce and untamed. In my memory, I've only ever seen the young master keep one. Could this be it?"
Thinking of this possibility, and looking at the camellia in full bloom behind the white-tailed eagle, a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes. "It's already June, and there are still camellias blooming so beautifully."
I wonder where the young master found her.
Jiang Yimian was also stunned for a moment. She stood in front of the window, reached out and took the particularly bright camellia from the back of the white-tailed eagle. It seemed to still have dew on it. She couldn't help but smile.
Last time, I just casually mentioned that if I wanted her not to get tired of me, I should consider how to surprise her. I didn't expect Lu Cijian to actually remember it.
At this time of year, most camellias have already faded, so it's quite difficult to find one that's blooming so beautifully.
Xiaoqi covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "I think these camellias were just picked recently. Let me find a vase for you to put them in."
With that, he left the house.
Jiang Yimian stared wide-eyed at the somewhat ferocious white-tailed eagle in front of her.
After hesitating for a moment, she took out a small piece of meat from her spatial storage and tossed it over.
Before the meat even landed, the white-tailed eagle quickly flapped its wings, flew into the air, opened its pale yellow beak, bit the meat, and swallowed it in a few bites.
Seeing that it didn't seem to be full, Jiang Yimian fed it a few more pieces of meat.
After several such incidents, the white-tailed eagle finally stopped staring at Jiang Yimian with such fierce eyes. Instead, it stood obediently by the window, as if waiting for her next instruction.
Jiang Yimian smiled and reached out to touch the glossy feathers on the white-tailed eagle's body.
Seeing that it had no intention of leaving, he thought for a while and then sat down at the table, writing down his encounter with the King of Chu and the masked man from the previous day on a piece of paper.
After hesitating for a while, I finally wrote a few words at the bottom.
The white-tailed statue seemed to understand her plan, and proudly stretched out one leg, revealing a small letter tube hidden under its feathers.
There was an intricate pattern on the small letter tube, which Jiang Yimian had seen on Song Er's jade pendant before. After confirming the white-tailed eagle's identity, she felt relieved.
Jiang Yimian stuffed the letter into the small mailbox, then ruffled the white-tailed eagle's fluffy head before releasing it.
When the white-tailed eagle returned to the capital, Lu Cijian was handling official documents at the Censorate.
Wang San entered from outside and said respectfully, "Sir, Miss Jiang has sent a message."
This morning, I saw the young master release the white-tailed eagle. I was curious why the young master had something important to tell us. I never expected that he was just sending flowers to Miss Jiang.
Such a large and brightly blooming camellia flower stood out prominently on the white-tailed eagle's body.
If he hadn't known that the white-tailed eagle was untamed and extremely fierce, and not easily captured, he would have worried that the white-tailed eagle carrying that bright camellia would be shot dead.
I don't know what Miss Jiang replied.
Lu Cijian was taken aback. She looked up from her desk, took the letter from his hand, and glanced at it. Her brows furrowed slightly. "The Prince of Chu has returned to the capital?"
Wang San was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to suddenly ask this. He simply said, "I heard that he returned to the capital yesterday, but I don't know exactly what he did."
It was already difficult for their people to infiltrate the royal palace, let alone become the King of Chu's confidants.
This man was naturally suspicious and rarely trusted others. The people around him were all those who had been with him since childhood. For others to gain the trust of the King of Chu would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Lu Cijian stared at the words on the letter for a few more seconds, making sure that Jiang Yimian was really alright, before finally focusing his gaze on the bottom line of small print.
"The flowers are beautiful, I like them very much, Ah Jian is so thoughtful."
Lu Cijian's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and he couldn't help but think of Jiang Yimian's expression when she received the flowers.
He thought that Mianmian was prettier than Hua.
Just then, Wang San suddenly cried out in pain.
The person who had been craning their neck and staring intently at the thing in Lu Cijian's hand suddenly changed their expression and clutched their neck, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
He was simply curious about what Miss Jiang had written in her letter that made the young master so happy.
Not only did he not see anything, but he also strained his neck, causing him to accidentally cry out in pain.
Lu Cijian snapped out of her reverie, glanced at Wang San indifferently, and after a while said, "Yesterday, the King of Chu was assassinated in the suburbs of the capital, and Mianmian happened to be there."
They also encountered that masked man.
He had been curious about this man's identity last time, but he never expected that he would turn out to be Zhao Cheng, the unremarkable guard by the King of Chu's side.
They had investigated this man before; he was just an ordinary guard who wasn't usually valued by the King of Chu. Little did they know that he was actually the King of Chu's right-hand man behind the scenes.
Even Zhao Cheng alone is difficult to deal with, let alone the other secret guards.
The people around the King of Chu should not be underestimated.
Wang San paused, then quickly said, "They're not one of ours."
Just a few days ago, the Pavilion Master sent a message asking them to return to the Pavilion. If they really intended to attack the King of Chu, they would have informed them without telling them.
Moreover, now is not a good time to make a move.
Lu Cijian nodded before asking, "How is the Marquis's residence?"
Wang Sanzhi laughed when this was mentioned, "Today, someone impeached Marquis Anding in court for failing to properly educate his son and for allowing Lu Lin to forcibly abduct women in the street. The evidence was conclusive, and Marquis Anding suffered in silence and was fined his salary. He will probably have to stay quiet for a while."
