The female official looked worried and wanted to say something more.
Qi Su interrupted her with a smile.
"You can inform His Highness. Alternatively, you can have the Black Bird follow me from a distance, but it must not disturb me while I am carrying out my duties."
The female official, Song, remained silent for a moment.
He curtsied to her.
"Yes, Your Highness. I will inform you."
Based on Qi Su's previous style of doing things, she would change her clothes and go out directly.
That's why so many arrangements were made.
It's purely out of respect for the couple's relationship.
…
The dusty servant boy left the Qishan Prince's Mansion through a side gate.
After passing through a small alley, you arrive at the bustling commercial street.
She bought a bag of roasted peanuts and ate them as she walked.
In the capital city, the area near Zhuque Gate has the most merchants.
Along the banks of the Cai River, colorful merchant banners stand in abundance.
Not only commoners, but also wealthy families often sent their servants to buy things.
Qinghe Xiaozhu.
At this hour, there were hardly any customers left in the shop.
The sky was overcast, and a few drops of rain fell on the blue-green river outside the window.
Blown away by the wind, it quickly disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened.
It was only half past 3 PM, but the shop already had its sheep-shaped candles lit.
The shopkeeper peeked into the kitchen.
How many dishes are left?
The chef is arranging the freshly fried dried fish on a plate.
"It's all complete, it's all complete!"
The shop was booked out by a distinguished customer today.
Inside the huge restaurant, only two customers were sitting by the window on the second floor.
The square table was piled high with food.
Crispy fish, twisted fish, braised fish in vinegar, fish cooked in fermented rice wine, steamed fish, fish ball soup, and deep-fried dried small fish.
A slender hand scooped up a bowl of fish soup and handed it to the person opposite.
"Ayan, why aren't you eating? Isn't this your favorite restaurant?"
The woman looked up and met his scrutinizing and concerned gaze.
His expression was indifferent.
"I'm thinking about the fragrant pills."
I took the fish soup he offered and placed it beside me.
The young man smiled and said, "We'll talk about the fragrant pills later. Let's eat first."
The woman hummed in agreement, lowered her eyelashes, and concealed her thoughts.
He feared that the uncontrollable disgust in his eyes would be revealed.
That madman on the other side is having another episode.
The fishy smell was overwhelming, almost driving people crazy.
She forcefully suppressed her nausea and vomiting.
With her eyelashes lowered, she swallowed the food in the bowl whole, mouthful by mouthful.
For a person from Chu, working as a spy in the Embroidered Uniform Guard during the Da Yan Dynasty was not particularly difficult.
Being a stand-in for a madman, enduring mental and physical torture from time to time, isn't all that difficult.
Only this whole fish feast.
Every time she eats it, she has a hundred thoughts.
I want to smash that person's head to pieces.
Then they stuffed his brains, mixed with broken bone fragments, into his mouth.
Ask him why he likes eating fish so much? Why does he like such disgusting things!
.
It's not easy to get a meal.
Her clothes were completely soaked.
The person opposite her asked her with a deeply affectionate expression.
"Ayan, you don't look well. What's wrong?"
Ayan covered her mouth with her sleeve.
"It was probably too delicious, and I ate too much without realizing it."
The man took her hand.
"Let's take a walk along the river, and then go to the spice shop later."
Downstairs, the shopkeeper saw them off with great hospitality.
"Have the guests finished eating? How was the food and drink today?"
"It looks like it's going to rain, so I'm giving this umbrella to our guest to keep them dry. Please come again next time!"
…
upstairs.
A slender hand picked up the golden-brown, now-cold dried fish from the plate and put it in her mouth to chew.
Although it's no longer crispy, it's still delicious.
No matter how perfect a delicious dish looks, it's just gone cold.
It also has a fishy taste when you eat it.
Qi Su leaned on the windowsill, eating dried fish while watching the beautiful couple walk away side by side.
The sky gradually darkened.
The shops along the river gradually lit up.
Qi Su smiled.
See? So what if you lose your white moonlight?
Can't they still be deeply affectionate towards others?
.
Xizi Fragrant Herbs Store.
A woman wearing a white veil sat before the incense table, her eyes half-closed.
"Young lady, what would you like to order this time?"
The female shopkeeper of the spice shop looked at her solicitously.
Although this girl doesn't come often, she's a big spender.
Every time they come, they sweep up all the valuable goods that have been piling up in the shop for months.
She was accompanied by a young man.
The two had a very good relationship, but the young man disliked the smell of the incense shop.
Although he accompanied them, he simply sat outside the shop and did not come in.
"Don't take the incense and medicine yet."
The woman's expression was somewhat strange as she forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit.
"Go and bring me a cup of strong tea."
The shopkeeper went away, but returned quickly.
"girl--"
The woman frowned, her face grim.
"Didn't I say I wanted a strong cup of tea?"
Then a soft laugh was heard.
"Oh dear, so you really hate the smell of fish. This job must have been hard on you."
The one who spoke was a dusty-looking young servant.
He had dark yellow skin and ordinary facial features.
Only his eyes, brimming with tears, seemed somewhat familiar.
Call her Miss Ayan...
The woman looked at him coldly: "Who are you?"
The servant smiled and said, "Miss Ayan, it's been a few days, how come you don't recognize me?"
The voice was sweet and melodious, and those eyes added to that.
I remember now, it was her!
"The Princess Consort of Qishan?"
The servant smiled and said, "That's right, it's me."
Ayan frowned.
"They've come all this way, so something must have happened?"
Qi Su handed her the cup of tea he was holding.
"Yes, there is something I wanted to ask Miss Ayan. How was the amnesia Gu that was placed on me before made?"
When Ayan heard her ask that question, she suddenly thought of the amnesia Gu.
A hint of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.
He looked her up and down.
"You actually recovered?"
Based on her understanding of that Gu creature, this woman should never remember who she is in her entire life.
Qi Su: "I've been lucky enough to recover, so I'm here to ask some questions."
Ayan sneered.
"You think I'd tell you?"
She had been worn down all day, like a fish whose scales had been worn away.
Just when he was already furious, this person jumped out in front of him.
Qi Su has a very good temper.
"Oh, you don't want to tell me? That's fine. But can you tell me why you put the amnesia curse on me? I haven't offended any of you."
Ayan sneered.
Do you think I would say that?
Qi Su laughed and said, "Just asking. Otherwise, it would be too presumptuous of me to attack you the moment we meet."
Ayan's eyes were icy cold, and she made no attempt to hide the murderous intent on her face.
"You shouldn't have come here. The amnesia gu is useless, but the other gu are enough to eat you into a skeleton."
A faint sound of wings vibrating could be heard in the air.
Qi Su shook her head.
"Hey, you're supposed to be a stunt double, you need to be more professional. Ah Yan isn't as short-tempered as you."
Ah Yan, Ah Yan!
A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and she suddenly raised her sleeve.
A small white snake shot towards Qi Su's neck like lightning!
Qi Su held up two fingers.
He casually picked up the little snake.
She made a hissing sound.
With a tug, he tied the little snake into a bow.
"This Ah Yan is too short-tempered, oUt!"
