Su Luo lives a free and easy life, so why would she go to such lengths to find someone to control her?
"Did the Third Prince look for him for you?"
"Um!"
Although Beichuan City is thousands of miles away, it is not easy for Nangong Qing to investigate someone, but given enough time, he will still be able to find out.
"The Third Prince tells you that your husband is dead, and you believe him? He was your husband, the father of your child..."
Nangong Chiyu spoke through gritted teeth, his expression agitated.
Su Luo thought he had gone mad, meddling in her and Chen Huaixu's affairs.
"Yu... Your Highness, even if I don't believe it, can my husband come back to life?"
She pronounced the name "Prince Yu" very slowly, wanting Nangong Chiyu to remember her identity, making him seem like Chen Huaixu.
"I...I am the king!"
"Your Highness, would you like acupuncture again?"
Seeing that he had finished engraving the instructions for both medicines, Su Luo quickly finished the acupuncture for him and then sent the engravings to Du Siyuan.
"No need, I am not in a good mood today."
this?
This was the first time Su Luo had ever heard of a treatment depending on one's mood.
"Okay! I'll take the carved characters!"
Watching Su Luo busy herself in front of him, he secretly decided that he must thoroughly investigate this Chen Huaixu.
If he is Chen Huaixu, and Chen Huaixu is him, then Yihuan is essentially his daughter. He must get to the bottom of this matter.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have arrived again. These are their visiting cards."
Chi Yi came in to report that Nangong Chiyu disliked being disturbed, and even if the Crown Prince and the Second Prince came, he had to be informed.
Tell them, I am too busy!
Chi Yi glanced at Su Luo blankly, and seeing that the two of them were not planning to have acupuncture, he said.
"Your Highness, you haven't read the visiting cards yet. How should I reply to the two princes?"
Nangong Chiyu opened the invitation card; both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince said they wanted to invite him to drink at the best restaurant in the capital.
"They said that Fu Man Lou has the best dishes in the capital and would like to invite me to try them."
Seeing that he still had guests, Su Luo prepared to pack her things and take her leave.
They had only gone halfway when Nangong Chiyu called out from behind.
"stop……"
Su Luo stopped and turned around, asking, "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"
Nangong Chiyu held the two visiting cards in his hands, his grip tightening and loosening repeatedly.
"I...I've heard that it's very difficult to book a private room at Fumanlou Restaurant. I've also heard that they have a dish called Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth that's quite delicious. Would you like to try it?"
"If you wish to eat, then come with me. If you do not wish to eat, then I will refuse the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."
Nangong Chiyu felt that his relationship with Su Luo was still unconfirmed, so it was always good to treat her well. She was a woman from the countryside who probably had never eaten anything good in her life.
"They invited you, so go by yourself. I don't like boiled cabbage in clear broth."
Su Luo was telling the truth, but Nangong Chiyu felt that she might not understand what "boiled cabbage in clear broth" meant.
In the countryside, it's like boiling vegetables in water—clear broth and bland taste, of course it's not delicious.
"Chi Yi, tell the Crown Prince and the Second Prince that I will go with the Deputy Minister of Agriculture."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Su Luo didn't agree, but Nangong Chiyu forcibly dragged her out.
Su Luo had heard some of the reasons why the Crown Prince and the Second Prince invited Nangong Chiyu to drink.
She has no interest in how she resembles her past self, or in factional infighting.
Inside Fu Man Lou, the manager saw Su Luo give him a wink and that's why he didn't go to acknowledge her.
They did welcome the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.
"Distinguished guests, do you have any private rooms reserved?"
All the private rooms at Fumanlou are booked up to three months in advance. If you don't make a reservation, it won't matter who comes.
Both men revealed their identities, but Fu Man Lou remained unmoved. It was unclear who was behind it and how they dared to be so bold.
"It's all settled, you don't need to worry about us."
Nangong Jingming, as the crown prince, always had an arrogant and condescending demeanor, only showing a smile when facing Nangong Chiyu.
"Prince Yu, what would you like to eat today? Order whatever you like. I, the Crown Prince, will drink with you to your heart's content."
The Second Prince, Nangong Jingyao, standing behind Su Luo, remained silent, but a smile played on his lips.
These two are openly and covertly fighting, so it seems that the Crown Prince's invitation to dinner won't go too smoothly. The Second Prince can't just stand by and watch Nangong Chiyu be taken away by the Crown Prince.
As far as Su Luo knew, all the private rooms at Fu Man Lou were fully booked and non-refundable, but they could be used for family or friends to have a meal together.
These two princes are not on the list of people, but they can buy reserved private rooms from others.
Just as he was about to go up to the second floor, the Crown Prince paused and said to the Second Prince behind him.
"Second brother, I have invited Prince Yu and the Vice Minister of Agriculture, so you don't need to come along."
The Second Prince, Nangong Jingyao, smiled gently and said, "It's a misunderstanding. I've also booked a private room here. If Prince Yu and the Vice Minister of Agriculture would do me the honor, you'd be welcome to come and have a drink."
She shouldn't have come with Nangong Chiyu when these two were fighting.
"Prince Yu, please..."
The crown prince gestured for him to enter, and his attitude towards Nangong Chiyu changed completely.
Nangong Chiyu let Su Luo walk in front of him, his eyes firm, and whispered in her ear, "I won't make things difficult for you."
Su Luo turned and glanced at him. What did he mean by those words?
However, Su Luo soon found out that when she went up to the second floor, a person flew out of an open private room.
The man drew his knife and went in, only to be kicked out again. He turned around and saw Su Luo and her group.
He stumbled over, clasped his hands in a salute before the Crown Prince, and said, "Your Highness, they have gone back on their word and won't give us the private room."
The second prince, as if watching a good show, pointed at the young master in front of him: "Isn't this Young Master Jiang? What's he doing here? Isn't he on duty today?"
Before meeting all the important figures, Jiang Shun bowed and said, "This humble official greets Prince Yu, the Second Prince, and the Deputy Minister of Agriculture."
What happened in the front room?
"On my own turf," Su Luo asked first.
Jiang Shun glanced at the Crown Prince, knowing he had messed things up, and he was trembling all over.
"Reporting to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, those men robbed the private room reserved by the Crown Prince and injured me."
Ha! Su Luo sneered inwardly. So that's how it is. Even Su Luo, an outsider, could see that someone else had taken the Crown Prince's private room.
The person in that private room must be the Second Prince. He had promised to give the private room to the Crown Prince, but he deliberately went back on his word at this moment, preventing the Crown Prince from inviting Nangong Chiyu.
Nangong Jingyao said he had also booked a private room here, which shows he had indeed made preparations for both scenarios.
Just now, Nangong Chiyu told her not to be in a difficult position. Could it be that he already knew this would be the result, that she would either have to eat at the Crown Prince's banquet or at the Second Prince's banquet?
Anyway, they were in charge of enjoying themselves, while the two brothers were in charge of the power struggle.
"Who dares to be so audacious as to steal the Crown Prince's private room? Why don't you go and seek justice from them?"
Since it's all acting, Su Luo will play along; it's no fun just watching.
