In the east wing, Su Ningwen sat upright, flipping through the books on the desk carefully.
Shangguan Jinnian and Su Ningjie sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed in front of the window, eating fruit platters and watching the maids such as Mo Shu busying in and out in the yard. The books in their hands had already fallen to the ground.
Shangguan Jinnian glanced at Su Ningwen who was sitting upright, and quickly got off the Luohan bed.
Seeing that the books had fallen to the ground, he quickly picked them up, patted the non-existent dust, and placed the books on the desk. "Brother Wen, aren't you tired? You've been reading for an hour." Shangguan Jinnian said as he closed Su Ningwen's book. "Come and have some fruit, take a break and then continue reading."
Su Ningwen nodded obediently.
"Third brother, come and sit next to me." Su Ningjie moved his butt.
“Gugugugu…”
At this time, a snow-white dove flew in and almost hit Su Ningwen who was climbing onto the Luohan bed.
Suningwen could have leaned back, but Suningjie grabbed him.
The snow pigeon flew back in panic and landed on the windowsill, staring blankly at the three little ones.
The owner is not in this room!
How come these three human boys smell as good as their master?
No, it’s different. Its sense of smell is not sensitive anymore!
Su Ningjie quickly reached out to catch the snow pigeon.
The snow pigeon realized the danger and flew away quickly.
"Mo Shu, hurry up and catch the pigeons. I'll make pigeon soup for my mother today to nourish her body."
Mo Shu took a group of maids to catch pigeons.
No way?
Are humans so terrifying?
The snow pigeon was frightened and cried loudly in the yard, flying around in panic.
[Wuwuwu… Master, please save me! I don’t want to be stewed into pigeon meat. I’m an adult pigeon, not a squab. I won’t taste good if stewed. Wuwuwu…]
Xiao Xier rushed out of the main house, "Stop it!"
Mo Shu and others stopped immediately.
When Xue Ge saw her master coming out, she threw herself into Xiao Xi'er's arms, feeling very aggrieved. "I was sent by Boss Huang to tell my master the news, and they actually wanted to capture me and make soup..."
Little Xi'er gently stroked its snow-white fur and whispered to it, "Alright, alright, don't be afraid. They won't dare stew you while I'm here."
"Sister." Su Ningjie came over with a smile, "You are really capable. You caught it easily. Mother can have some pigeon soup today."
Su Ningjie reached out and wanted to hug the snow pigeon.
"This pigeon cannot be eaten. It is my little pet."
Xiao Xier walked up and whispered a few words in Su Ningjie's ear, then coaxed Xue Ge into the main house.
Shangguan Jinnian walked over and patted Su Ningjie on the shoulder, "What did Xiao Xier whisper to you?"
Su Ningjie raised his eyebrows, "It's a secret, so of course I can't tell you. Let's go to the backyard and try our luck. Maybe a pigeon will fly in today, or maybe even more pigeons will fly in."
Shangguan Jinnian thought it made sense. "Then let's try our luck. If there's nothing, we can go out and buy some squabs. Not only does your mother need to eat squabs, but mine also needs to eat squabs to nourish her body..."
"Xue Ge said that Huang Huang left the city to chase after them?"
"Yes, Phoenix will leave marks along the way, we just need to follow them."
Xiao Xier picked up the pen and drew the mark described by the snow pigeon.
"Is this a slap?" Su Xing thought the mark on the paper looked like a slap but not like a slap, more like a fan.
"Yes, it was a Phoenix slap. It was just the mark made by Phoenix using its large wings to slap the tree trunk."
The snow pigeon standing on the table nodded repeatedly, and Boss Huang almost slammed it against the tree trunk and couldn't get it off even with his pull.
"Xiao Yu, I'll arrange it right away." Su Xingyi picked up the mark on the paper and hurriedly left the room.
"Mother, since the person behind the scenes has stopped, should we continue to act?"
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Once we catch them and their daughter, and they confess who is behind this, we will stop pretending."
Su Xingyi got the mark, drew a few more by copying the same method, and gave them to Meng Chuan. Nie Jiu led his men out of the city to chase him.
Feng Jinyu was very confused when he received the mark sent by Su Xingyi.
Wasn't there a clue this morning? Now I have a clue.
Feng Jinyu felt that Su Xingyi was a little weird. He had previously said that Qinglian was the one who poisoned him. It could be said that he was desperate and would try anything to get help.
Now that Qinglian has disappeared for no reason, he is confident that he can catch her if he goes after her with the mark in his hand.
"Mo Feng, take the marker and chase them now."
"yes"
Mo Feng also had doubts in his mind, where did Prince Shun get this mark?
Last night, Meng Chuan and Nie Jiu were both confused!
Forget it, he doesn't need to use his brain to do things, just go chase people.
Quchen Pavilion
"Princess." Zi Yu and Bai Zhi came in holding a big box.
"These are the valuables we found in Qinglian's room. It looked like she left in a hurry and didn't take anything. Her clothes are still in the room."
Xie Wanyi opened the box and looked inside. It contained banknotes, small change, hairpins, and everything in between. "Did you find any strange bottles in her room?"
Zi Yu shook her head slightly. "She should have dealt with everything. I heard Mo Feng say that she was good at Qinggong, but I never realized that she, who looked so delicate, was actually a martial artist."
Bai Zhi said, "Even though she's skilled in Qinggong, she can't get far. We'll catch her sooner or later. I don't know what the person behind the scenes is up to. Why did they suddenly stop?"
Xie Wanyi closed the box and pressed her eyebrows. "Those who practice martial arts are usually very alert. She may have discovered that we were secretly monitoring her. The person behind the scenes must have guessed that we wanted to follow the clues and let Qinglian leave. Everyone, go down and rest. I am tired."
Zi Yu waited for Xie Wanyi to rest, but did not relax her vigilance and still arranged for people to guard Qu Chen Pavilion strictly.
Worried that the person behind the scenes might take advantage of this opportunity to plant spies in, he asked Shaoyao to stay in the house to guard it.
She went to the mansion with Bai Zhi to see if there were any strangers sneaking in.
"emperor."
Li Haiying hurried into the hall, "Prince Yu said that we should burn incense to Queen Fu'an tomorrow morning before returning to the city. He said that if the emperor is in a hurry to return to the city, he can..." go back first.
"snort!"
Emperor Qianyuan snorted angrily, and Li Haiying swallowed the last three words.
"What is he doing now?"
"His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yu is playing chess with a guard of the Imperial Guard in front of Empress Fu'an's tomb."
"It's outrageous that he actually found a guard to play chess with him!" Emperor Qianyuan rushed to the tomb of Queen Fu'an in anger.
"Your Highness, Emperor Qianyuan is here."
Shangguan Yu tilted his head to look at Emperor Qianyuan, whose face looked even uglier than yesterday, and then looked at the Eastern Seal.
Good fellow! You are sitting so calmly on the Taishan Mountain. Why don’t you quickly stand up and welcome the Holy Emperor?
Then he smiled and waved to Emperor Qianyuan, "Rui'an, it's been over ten years since I last saw you play chess. It just so happens that I'm in the mood today. Wait a minute, after I finish playing this game with this guard, you can play another game with me. Let Rui'an see if my chess skills are better."
