"Yunxiao, after dinner tonight, we're going to the north pier of the county to release lanterns. You've just arrived in this precious place and you might not have seen anything like it. It's a lively and festive scene. We release lanterns and make wishes to the river gods, and your wishes will come true. Do you want to come with us?"
Shangguan Yunxiao looked at Xiaojiu. It seemed that he had to review what happened that day tonight.
I hope that after tonight, the Ninth Prince will be able to recover as before.
"Yes."
After Shangguan Yunxiao left, Xiao Lingyu couldn't wait to ask, "Are you sure there are people setting off lanterns at the dock tonight?"
Su Xingyi looked at Xiao Lingyu softly. "The last time An Ge'er and I came to the county's north pier to release lanterns was two years ago. Making wishes after releasing lanterns is indeed very effective. Tonight is the perfect time to fulfill my wish. Thank you, River God, for making my wish come true."
Su Ningan said, "Yes, mother. If father hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. The wish I made to the river god has come true, and I must restore it."
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "Then we need to prepare well in advance. We'll go buy some lanterns now, and then go to Fenglin Car Dealership at the north dock to see if there's a large carriage we like. If all goes well, we'll take the children on a lantern display tonight..."
At the same time, in the imperial study of Dongjun Palace.
"Where did your son take my son? I haven't seen him for more than half a month!"
Crown Prince Shangguan Yu hurriedly said, "Father, it was you who said that Ninth Brother was too clingy and asked Yunxiao to take him to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dongjun."
The old emperor, with gray hair on his temples, was speechless for a moment after hearing this. He seemed to have said, "It's been half a month. It's almost time for them to come back. When you go back, send a message to Yunxiao and ask him to bring your ninth brother back quickly. I've been very worried these past few days, worried that something might happen to them while they're away."
"Father, you don't have to worry. They are traveling in simple attire. The servants they left with are all top masters of Dongjun. Yunxiao and my ninth brother will not encounter any accidents."
If something unexpected happened, the secret guards he sent would have returned to inform the authorities long ago.
Little did he know that the secret guard he sent died that night.
The old emperor was relieved when he heard this. "I understand. Send a message to them to come back soon and tell them that I miss them."
Shangguan Yu returned to the East Palace and went straight to the study, where he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to the two of them.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Nian's hurried voice came in.
Shangguan Yu frowned, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Nian approached and said, "Duan Fei, who works for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has secretly sent several groups of people to infiltrate Beiyi, Prince Li's Mansion, and Prince Su's Mansion. Duan Fei has people secretly monitoring them. I'm afraid the two masters..."
"Shut up!"
Shangguan Yu didn't want to listen anymore. His originally calm face now looked a little flustered.
Nothing can happen to these two people.
After a few breaths, everything returned to normal.
"Go and call Duan Fei to me."
Half an incense stick later, Duan Fei knelt on one knee in front of Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu pinched his eyebrows, what a rebellious son!
Wasn't she supposed to travel the south?! She actually went to Beiyi to pay respects to Empress Fu'an without telling him!
It doesn’t matter, he even brought his ninth brother with him!
He kept the Crown Prince's father a secret!
That’s really great!
"Send a message to your master, giving him half a month to bring my ninth brother back to me in good condition."
Seeing that Shangguan Yu was on the verge of a rage, Duan Fei secretly worried for his master.
His master returned safely this time, but he was bound to be beaten up!
"Yes, Your Highness, you don't have to worry. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, sent a message saying that the Ninth Prince has only temporarily lost his memory. The doctor is the Ninth Prince's savior and is trying to help him recover his memory."
…
Shangguan Yunxiao left the milk tea shop and went directly to Yulanxuan.
Li Su saw that the visitor had an extraordinary temperament and respectfully welcomed Shangguan Yunxiao in. "Sir, what would you like to eat?"
Yan Xiaosi said, "Boss, we've just had your signature divine dish. It tastes very unique. We came here to buy some rare ingredients from you. I wonder if you could sell some to us?"
Li Su looked at Shangguan Yunxiao carefully, but he was not having lunch at Yulanxuan at all.
Today, Master Su arranged for Brother Xingyun to come over and order a divine dish.
Could this person have come from the milk tea shop? Or the Luyuan Qionglou?
“I wonder where you have enjoyed divine food?”
Yan Xiaosi said, "We just came from Yudian Tea House. My young master's friend said that because he's on good terms with your boss, he was able to buy a small amount of rare ingredients from you. I wonder if we can buy a small amount of rare ingredients from you at a high price?"
Li Su: ...
This rare ingredient was sold to Yu Lanxuan by Madam Su!
It seems that Mrs. Su doesn't want others to know that she is the supplier of rare ingredients.
"I'm truly sorry, but rare ingredients are already in short supply. We don't even have enough for ourselves. My boss is just squeezing out some friendship to give to the milk tea shop owner. I really can't help you..."
Not long after Shangguan Yunxiao left, Xu Yulan came to Yulanxuan.
"Miss, the nobleman that Master Su treated with divine vegetables at the milk tea shop today just came over to buy rare ingredients from us."
Xu Yulan was quite surprised. "Are you sure it was the person that Master Su invited? Tell me what that young man looked like?"
Li Su then described Shangguan Yunxiao to Xu Yulan in vivid detail, "This man is very noble, not just an ordinary rich kid..."
Xu Yulan was certain that this person was the God of Wealth from the Today's Pastry Shop. "Just don't sell it to him. When you go to Luoxia Cottage to get the rare ingredients next time, be careful to have someone follow you and find out where Madam Su is."
