"So, sister, I won't get tired of acting like an adult occasionally."
Only then did Su Ningwen realize that Xiao Xier was a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different. She just became much smarter and seemed to be very easy to persuade. It seemed that his second brother had been persuaded by his sister several times, like this time.
Although the second brother has not expressed his opinion yet, he has already agreed with it in his heart, and he also thinks that what his sister said is right.
"...Second brother, don't you think this is the case?"
Su Ningjie nodded, "You are right."
"Well, children, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Xiao Lingyu found that taking care of three children was too easy and she had no say.
Having a talented and sensible child really makes parents worry-free.
I don’t know if Xiaowu will be as talented, sensible and filial as his older brothers and sisters.
Xiaowu doesn't need her to call him, he will just study and learn to read.
"Children, you said you would help mother take care of Xiaowu and teach him some skills. Does that still count?"
"Of course it counts!" The three brothers and sisters said in unison, their voices loud and clear, for fear that their mother would not believe them.
"That's great. After giving birth to Xiaowu, Mommy will give you a younger sister, right?"
"Mother, you have to give us a sister as cute and beautiful as my sister."
"Okay, okay, mother promises you."
After Su Xingyi made some arrangements, Nie Jiu took three secret guards to the back alley of Jintai Building to wait for suspicious people.
At two quarters past the hour of Si, a few people passed by in the back alley in groups of three or four.
Although Nie Jiu and others didn't know Qing Xu's appearance, they knew that he must have a good foundation in martial arts since he was able to run to monitor the eldest prince's mansion in the middle of the night.
Several waves of pedestrians passed by, all of them were ordinary people.
At six o'clock in the morning, Qingxu, dressed as an ordinary citizen, walked in from the end of the alley carrying a pot of wine.
Nie Jiu and others were shocked. This person walked without making any sound, so his lightness skill must be amazing.
Qingxu arrived at the back door of Jintai Building. The waiter greeted him with a smile and took him to the lobby.
Soon, several gorgeous carriages arrived in the back alley, accompanied by guards with swords.
Soon, an ordinary black-covered horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Nie Jiu tilted his head to look over. A gorgeously dressed woman, estimated to be about thirty years old, got out of the carriage. Following behind her was a young eunuch with martial arts skills. They entered Jintai Tower from the main gate.
"Nine Brother, the people who dine at Jintai Tower are not simple. The person the prince wants us to keep an eye on, without a portrait, it is difficult to identify the target based only on the clue of martial arts background."
"We'll just keep an eye on it, and we'll find something in the next two days."
Perrin took the young eunuch into the private room they often visited.
"How is it? Are you sure that big bird is a phoenix?"
Qing Xu lowered his voice and said, "It was a phoenix, for sure. Last night at the second watch, it appeared and flew to the kitchen of the First Prince's Mansion. Then it flew to the courtyard where Quchen Pavilion is located, and then disappeared."
Pei Lan asked, "Is Quchen Pavilion the courtyard where Xie Wanyi lives?"
"That's right." Qingxu knew the layout of the eldest prince's mansion very well.
Peilan whispered, "Send a secret signal to Qinglian at three o'clock tonight, reminding her to prepare for action."
"Is it just a secret signal?"
"That's right. Send the signal first. There must be other people near the Crown Prince's residence. For safety reasons, to avoid arousing suspicion, send it two nights in a row."
"Others?"
"Feng Jinyu won't give up the investigation until he finds the real murderer. The Emperor and the Queen Mother won't give up either. They will definitely send people to secretly monitor the First Prince's Mansion, so we must proceed with caution."
Qingxu nodded, "Then on the third night, should we convey the actual operational instructions to Qinglian?"
"That's right. Prince Yu and his entourage will arrive at Jinglong Post today. They will enter the city tomorrow and go to the Imperial Mausoleum the day after tomorrow. On the third day, which is the day after tomorrow, at this time, I will come here to give you the things. Have Qinglian prepare in the next few days and find a suitable opportunity to act. Your Majesty must hear reliable news on the fourth day. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Okay, you have to be careful and don't expose yourself."
Peilan walked out of the main gate of Jintai Tower, and the young eunuch behind him followed closely with a food box in his hand.
When they arrived in front of the carriage, the young eunuch quickly lifted the door curtain, propped up the top of the door with the back of his hand, and let Perlan get into the carriage.
Watching the carriage go away, Nie Jiu withdrew his gaze.
"Ninth brother, that woman should be the manager of a wealthy family."
Nie Jiu said nothing, "Keep staring."
Half an incense stick later, Qingxu, having eaten and drunk his fill, staggered out from behind Jintai Tower.
Nie Jiu frowned. It was obvious that he was a drunkard. No matter how good his Qinggong skills were, he was still a drunkard.
Nie Jiu felt this was not a solution. "Look carefully at the appearance of the guests dining at Jintai Tower today, especially those with guards and martial arts skills. Tonight we will go to the First Prince's Mansion to arrest them."
"Yes, Brother Nine!"
"My Lady, Qingxu is certain that it was a phoenix, and that the phoenix disappeared last night in the backyard of Quchen Pavilion, which is also the courtyard where Xie Wanyi lives."
Cui Wan's face darkened instantly. She was actually born to be a phoenix. "Have you explained this to Qingxu?"
"According to the Empress's wishes, once it is confirmed to be a phoenix, she will have Qingxu send a secret signal to Qinglian, asking Qinglian to prepare."
"Okay, this time we can only succeed and not fail!"
"Yes! Madam."
Shen time.
Du Yu escorted Shangguan Yu and his party to Jinglong Post Station.
"I am Xu Mo, the personal guard of Prince Cangnan, and I am here to respectfully welcome His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yu."
Shangguan Yu was very surprised that Feng Jinyu sent someone to pick him up even though he was seriously ill.
"Raise your head and let me take a closer look."
Xu Mo stood up straight, and the guards behind him also stood up.
