When Han Lie heard the word "grand plan", his ugly expression eased slightly, "Don't worry, my lord. I have a plan in mind."
"Everything is going smoothly on Miss Chunyu's side."
"Now, the Second Prince has been poisoned for a long time and has been obedient to Miss Chunyu's every word to the point of losing his mind."
"Just wait until the Second Prince goes berserk at the palace banquet and kills the Crown Prince. By then, the entire Great Xia will be plunged into chaos."
"By then, neither of Xia Zhengqi's two most capable sons will be able to be saved."
The eldest prince stroked his chin, curling his lips in satisfaction, as if he was already imagining the chaos in Daxia.
…
Second brother’s prince’s mansion.
It was already time to light the lamps, but the second prince still had not returned.
Wu Ya paced back and forth in the yard anxiously.
"Young lady, please sit down and have some tea. The Second Prince must have been tripped up by something. He will definitely be back later."
At this time, the servant came back from outside wiping his sweat.
"What's going on? Is the second prince back?" Wu Ya asked, staring at the servant.
"Replying to the young lady, Jin Hu, who is beside the Second Prince, just delivered a note. He asked me to give it to you for your reading."
As the servant spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Wu Ya.
Wu Ya hurriedly unfolded it and saw that it said: There was a sudden incident in the army, and I need to stay in the barracks to deal with it. I may return home in a few days, don't worry.
After reading the note, she breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to relax.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
The second prince had been hiding in the imperial study to recuperate, and the queen personally cooked nourishing soup and sent it to him every day.
The second prince's complexion and spirits have improved a lot.
At the Guest House, although the Dai Viet envoys were somewhat dissatisfied with the postponement of the palace banquet, they could not show it and had to allow the Third Prince, Yan Wenjing and his party to take them on a tour around the capital all day.
Xia Miaoyuan resumed his daily routine of attending classes at the main hall.
That day, just after school, she hid in Xiao Wanyin's sedan chair and left the palace.
"Miao'er, let's say hello to our aunt. If you sneak out like this, she will probably be very anxious." Xiao Wanyin advised.
Xia Miaoyuan emerged from under the chair, tidying up her messy hair, and said bluntly, "My mother is so smart. If I didn't see her after school, she must have guessed that we were together."
"You have no idea, I've been bored to death these past few days. I thought that with the Dai Viet envoy here, we could take a break and not have to go to school."
"Who would have thought that Father is so cunning? As long as there are no activities, classes will continue as usual in the main hall."
"You're the best. Every four days is a day off, and you can return home."
"You can be free for a few days. You are much better off than me!"
Xiao Wanyin looked at Xia Miaoyuan and smiled helplessly.
At this time, their sedan chair had arrived at the most prosperous area of the capital.
It was afternoon, not yet time for dinner, so there weren't too many people on the street.
"Let's go downstairs and take a walk. There aren't many people here now." Xiao Wanyin suggested after looking at the situation on the street.
"Okay! Okay! I haven't been shopping for a long time!" Xia Miaoyuan responded readily.
The two little girls were happily strolling around, visiting jewelry shops, pastry shops, and grocery shops. They went from one shop to another and bought many beautiful and novel gadgets, as well as a lot of freshly baked pastries.
The two little maids in the Xiao Mansion had their hands full of things.
After walking around for a while, Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin were both very hungry and could not walk anymore.
"Oh, Miao'er, I can't walk anymore." Xiao Wanyin wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face full of fatigue.
"Then let's go to the barbecue restaurant to eat! Little cousin, I'll treat you, and we'll both eat our fill today!"
"OK!"
After that, the two sisters got on the sedan chair and came to the Royal BBQ restaurant headquarters.
The shopkeepers and waiters in the palace all recognized Xia Miaoyuan. When they saw that it was Princess Anguo, they immediately made room in the most luxurious private room for them.
Just after sitting down for a while, before the food came, Xia Miaoyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
"Cousin, wait a moment, I have to go to the toilet."
Then, Xia Miaoyuan went downstairs with a little maid.
After a while, Xia Miaoyuan came out of the toilet and felt much better in his stomach.
Just as she was walking through the lobby on the first floor and about to go upstairs, she suddenly saw a waiter going to the kitchen.
[Strange, why does it look so unfamiliar? ]
Because this is the main store and Xia Miaoyuan comes here often, she is familiar with all the guys in the store. She couldn't help but feel strange when a new face suddenly appeared.
[Not only does he look unfamiliar, but I also feel like he's a little weird.]
Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan changed direction, quietly followed the waiter, and went to the kitchen.
I saw the guy squatting at the kitchen door and peeling potatoes.
"Hey, why are you standing here, little prince?" The shopkeeper saw Xia Miaoyuan stop and look towards the kitchen, and hurried over to greet him.
"Who is that person peeling potatoes?" Xia Miaoyuan asked.
"Oh, that guy, the new kitchen helper who came a few days ago. He doesn't know anything, so I asked him to do some odd jobs."
At this time, the potato peeler had finished peeling the potatoes in the basin and took the empty basin to the warehouse to fill it with potatoes.
Xia Miaoyuan took the opportunity to walk to the door of the back kitchen, picked up the bowl of peeled potatoes on the ground and took a look. It was not a big deal, but she was really scared.
"Why are all these potatoes sprouting?!"
Although the potatoes had been peeled, it was obvious that they had sprouts on them because the person who peeled them did not dig out the sprouts but deliberately kept them.
The shopkeeper stood beside Xia Miaoyuan, looking confused, not knowing what Xia Miaoyuan was talking about.
“Something’s wrong!”
As he spoke, Xia Miaoyuan rushed into the warehouse where the ingredients were stored.
The man who was peeling potatoes was putting them into his bowl.
"Wait!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted and ran to the potato basket.
The guy was so frightened by the sound that he almost dropped the basin in his hand.
He turned around and saw the shopkeeper and a little girl, so he lowered his head and stepped aside.
Xia Miaoyuan stood in front of the potato basket and examined it carefully.
I saw that almost all the potatoes in the basket had sprouted. The sprouts were not big, but small and white. It seemed that they had only sprouted in the last few days.
"What's going on?" Xia Miaoyuan picked up a sprouted potato and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was shocked: "What's going on? How did the potatoes produce these things? They were just delivered a few days ago and were still fine."
Xia Miaoyuan carefully checked the potato basket again and found that it was damp, as if it had been splashed with water.
"Display case guy, let me ask you, when the person who delivered the potatoes came, did he teach you how to store them?"
The shopkeeper looked bewildered. “I’ve been taught that this thing is afraid of moisture and needs to be kept dry.”
Xia Miaoyuan asked again: "Who is usually in charge here?"
