Chapter 39: Concubine (16)



The table was filled with steaming dishes, with bright colors and exquisite presentation, which made people's mouths water just by looking at them.

Wanyue put her bun-eating hand aside and raised her other hand to point at the dishes on the table, commanding Feng Shiwu, "This, this, and that, Shiwu, hurry up and grab some for me."

Feng Shiwu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a little bit of each dish that Wanyue pointed to.

Soon, the small bowl in front of Wanyue was filled.

Feng Shiwu stopped picking up food and handed Wanyue a pair of clean chopsticks.

"Okay, Master, you can eat."

Wanyue took the chopsticks, gave Feng Shiwu a thumbs up in her heart, lowered her head and started eating.

Huayulou is worthy of being the number one restaurant in Kyoto, and the dishes it serves are truly unique.

Each dish has its own characteristics, but they are all equally delicious.

Just this taste, Wanyue will remember it for a whole year, it’s really delicious!

Feng Shiwu sat aside, his eyes never leaving Wanyue's small bowl. Whenever Wanyue was about to finish the food in the small bowl, Feng Shiwu would pick up some food from it, and he would pick up more food while Wanyue ate.

Half an hour later, Wanyue put down her chopsticks and leaned back in the chair with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Mmm, I'm so full."

Wanyue rubbed her belly and sighed.

Feng Shiwu finished the food in the bowl in front of him and put down his chopsticks.

The table was full of dishes, and the two of them almost finished eating them all. Of course, most of them were eaten by Wanyue.

After sitting and digesting the food for a while, Wanyue stood up by pressing the armrest of the chair, picked up the fan placed beside her, and waved it, looking elegant and dashing again.

When I walked out of the cubicle, I ran into the waiter from before.

Seeing Wanyue, the waiter's smile froze. However, with his exceptional professionalism, he still walked over and asked, "Gentlemen, are you leaving?"

Wanyue waved the fan in her hand, a faint smile on her lips, "Well, no need to send me off."

Waiter: ...

I didn't want to give it to you, but now that you mentioned it, I have to.

The waiter raised a flattering smile and extended his hand towards the stairs. "Sir, you are joking. You are our honored guest of Huayu Tower. I will see you out."

Stepping out of the gate of Huayu Tower, Wanyue waved goodbye to the enthusiastic waiter, turned around and walked into the bustling crowd with Feng Shiwu.

It was already dark at this time. There was a crescent moon in the sky, and the milky white moonlight sprinkled down on my head and fell on my shoulders, creating a faint halo.

There are stalls selling things on both sides of the street, with all kinds of small things that are dazzling to look at.

The two walked in the dense crowd, moving forward slowly.

Wanyue saw a stall selling candy figures and walked towards it.

Feng Shiwu walked on Wanyue's right side, raising one hand to block passers-by and carefully protecting Wanyue's injured hand.

The two walked up to the candy figurine stall, and the stall owner immediately came up to them warmly, "Selling candy figurines, you two?"

Wanyue waved her fan, scanned the stall, and finally set her sights on a fat sugar figure in the shape of a pig's head.

Wanyue pointed at the target, "Boss, I want that one."

The boss responded, picked up the candy figurine Wanyue had requested, and handed it to her. "Here, sir, it's five cents."

Wanyue closed the fan in her hand and put it on her waist. Then she reached out to take the sugar figurine and turned to Feng Shiwu, "Shiwu, give me the money."

Feng Shiwu took out his purse and stepped forward to pay.

After paying, the two continued walking forward.

Wanyue held up the pig head candy figure and took a bite, biting off half of the pig's ear.

Chewing the sweet syrup, Wanyue narrowed her eyes.

Hmm...sweet things are indeed the best.

Wanyue took another bite of the pig's ear and bit off the entire ear. Then, Wanyue held the pig's head sugar figure with one ear missing next to Feng Shiwu's face.

Facing Feng Shiwu's bewildered gaze, Wanyue said with a smile, "Look, doesn't this candy figure look exactly like you?"

Feng Shiwu turned his head to glance at the pig-headed candy man with one ear missing. His eyes were not angry, but filled with helplessness. "Master, watch the road carefully."

Wanyue dodged a pedestrian who bumped into her, then glanced at Feng Shiwu, as if to say: I'm watching the road.

"Well, the master is really amazing."

Feng Shiwu gave a halfhearted compliment.

Wanyue raised her chin, her face full of pride and pride.

Well, of course she is amazing.

Back at the Sixth Prince's Mansion, all the people who had disappeared for a day gathered in the main hall.

Wanyue led Feng Shiwu in, and Prince Ming came to greet them immediately.

"My dear daughter, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"

As he spoke, Prince Ming took Wanyue and looked her up and down, focusing on checking her wrapped hands. Only after finding nothing wrong did Prince Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since Wanyue injured her hand, she has completely become a fragile porcelain doll in the eyes of Prince Ming. Prince Ming is afraid that if he is not careful, his precious daughter will be injured again.

Wanyue obeyed and let Prince Ming pull her around for a look. After Prince Ming stopped, she spoke, "I just took Shiwu out for a meal. Don't worry, old man."

Let’s eat. Why are we going out to eat?

There's a cook in the house, why bother going out to eat? It's so dangerous outside.

Seeing that Prince Ming was about to start nagging again, Wanyue immediately took the initiative and asked about the whereabouts of several people in the main hall who had disappeared all day. "Old man, you haven't been seen all day today. Where have you been?"

"Today?" Prince Ming rolled his eyes, his gaze beginning to wander. "We went to the palace."

"What's going on that requires three people to go together?"

Besides, you three barely talk to each other, so what could possibly require you to go to the palace together to see the emperor?

Even if you are seeking justice together, you are not in the same case.

Prince Ming stopped talking and began to ask for help from the two people next to him.

Feng Chen successfully caught Prince Ming's gaze and said, "It was Father who contacted us. He wanted us to investigate the murder of our third brother and find the mastermind behind it."

Mu Qingli next to him chimed in, "Yes, His Majesty summoned us to the palace to investigate the case. The Emperor already knows that I am Bai Zhuo."

The emperor knew Mu Qingli Bai Zhuo's identity, so it made sense for him to let her join the investigation.

Wanyue blinked, "Is that so?"

Wanyue stopped asking questions, and the three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

They did enter the palace today because of the murder of the third prince, but it was not assigned by the emperor, but the three of them requested it on their own initiative.

Mu Qingli herself admitted that she was Bai Zhuo in front of the emperor.
