Chapter 296: The Fifth Prince's Surrender
"Is it a boy or a girl? Can you see his face clearly?" Yu Lingye asked.
The Fifth Prince said, "I didn't see clearly. He was wearing a mask, but I can confirm that he was a man."
Yu Lingye became even more worried.
There is a high possibility that the living dead is Xie Jingyun.
The Fifth Prince said, "I know that the Emperor's uncle is suspicious of my motives."
"I don't really have any motives."
"I just heard that the Queen's aunt reattached Shen Tingsi's broken arm."
"To be honest, Uncle Huang, I went to the Six Punishments Department and met Shen Tingsi. Shen Tingsi has adapted well to his new arm. I heard that the plaster can be removed in a month or two. After diligent practice, he will be able to use the new arm freely."
The Fifth Prince looked at Yu Lingye and said, "I also heard that the Imperial Aunt is a disciple of the Gu Saint."
"What a coincidence! After I broke into that secret room, I faintly heard the word 'Gu Sheng'."
Yu Lingye knew that Lao Wu was surrendering by risking his life to tell him the secret.
Of course, it could also be a trap.
Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, he thought that Xie Yingmian must be very curious about Xie Jingyun's whereabouts.
"Where is the secret room?" Yu Lingye asked.
The fifth prince mentioned a place.
When Yu Lingye heard the location, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
The location given by the fifth prince was the Lu family.
It turned out to be the Lu family!
Yu Lingye stared at the fifth prince.
The fifth prince raised his hand and extended three fingers: "I swear, if I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
"Uncle Emperor has probably heard that the Third Miss Lu and I are in love. If it weren't for that incident, I might have married her long ago."
"During the Lantern Festival that year, I was walking alone among the lanterns. I recalled the time when Miss Lu San and I admired the lanterns and played. I was overwhelmed with sorrow. When I came to my senses, I had already arrived at the Lu family's old house."
"After the Lu family's old house was ransacked, it was sealed off and no one was allowed to approach."
"But I know a secret door."
"I entered through the secret door and came to the small courtyard where Miss Lu San used to live to reminisce. I heard voices. It was late at night. Suddenly, voices appeared in the huge Lu family compound. I was startled, but also very excited."
He was afraid of ghosts, but he also hoped that it would be Miss Lu San's ghost that would return.
"I followed the sound and came to a room. I saw someone enter the room and open the secret room. The person stayed in the secret room for a while and then came out."
"I was afraid of being discovered, so I stayed away. After they left, I quietly went to the secret room, opened the door, and saw the living dead in the secret room."
When the fifth prince said this, fear was in his eyes.
He couldn't help but tremble twice.
The sun was shining brightly and the weather was excellent in early March. His hands were pale and cold, and his face was also pale and bloodless.
"They left and came back, but luckily I was alert and escaped before they came back. I hid in a place and didn't dare to move. I waited until dawn and there was no movement around. Only then did I dare to go home."
"I thought no one had noticed until the Spring Festival a month and a half later..."
The fifth prince didn't say anything else.
Yu Lingye asked: "Did you see him?"
The fifth prince nodded: "I only saw his back, but I won't make a mistake. After all, he is mine..."
The fifth prince never uttered those two words.
Yu Lingye didn't say anything else.
Just go and investigate whether what Lao Wu said is true or not.
"Her consultation fee is very expensive." Yu Lingye said.
The fifth prince chuckled.
The premise for expensive consultation fees is that you need to make a house call.
This also means that he can go to Xie Yingmian for medical treatment.
If Xie Yingmian were here, she would definitely complain that the Fifth Prince didn't need to go around in circles to see her. Her affordable clinic was about to open, and he could just register and queue up to see her.
About the same time.
The women's side.
The female members of the family are much more lively than the male members.
As soon as Xie Yingmian entered the door, she heard laughter and joyful chatter from everywhere.
Young women dressed up beautifully to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Peach blossoms are like clouds, beauties are like clouds.
The face of the person and the peach blossoms complement each other red.
Xie Yingmian couldn't help but take a few more glances.
She had heard Yu Lingye mention that during the Spring Festival travel, young unmarried men and women would take the opportunity to meet each other.
Although male and female relatives are separated, there is no such concern when going to the peach blossom forest to appreciate the flowers.
Young men and women go to the peach blossom forest to enjoy the flowers and watch people.
If you like it, go and ask about it.
Once you have found out, ask a matchmaker to come to your house.
A brave young woman, after falling in love with a man, may even leave behind tokens of love such as handkerchiefs, round fans, or hairpins.
Xie Yingmian walked through the crowd and saw a row of tables.
The table was filled with palace-specialized peach blossom pastries, peach blossom pancakes, peach blossom jelly, etc.
They found a deserted place and sat down.
Xie Yingmian wanted to keep her appetite and only took one bite of each.
The rest will be left to Qinghuang.
Qinghuang quickly finished the snacks on the table.
Xie Yingmian waved to the palace maid not far away, and the palace maid immediately brought a lot of snacks again.
Those snacks entered Qinghuang's stomach again.
The palace maid was shocked.
I've seen edible things, but I've never seen anything as edible as this.
But they have no intention of stopping.
Xie Yingmian didn't care about other people's opinions. After all, the more Qing Huang ate, the more energy it had and the stronger its ability became.
"Princess Ling, do you want to continue?" The palace maid saw that the snacks on the plate were empty again and did not bring new ones immediately, so she asked with courage.
Xie Yingmian said softly, "Is there a rule about a limit on snacks?"
The maid shook her head.
No one sets a limit on snacks.
But, no one eats it like this.
"Since there's no limit, let's go for it." Xie Yingmian said, "As many as you can get."
The palace maid agreed and hurriedly asked the kitchen to make some more cakes.
"Where did this reincarnated starving ghost come from?" A mocking voice came from the side.
"You really are from the countryside and haven't seen much of the world. You must have never tasted such delicious snacks. Look at that poor face. Even the royal family has poor relatives, but it's rare to see someone eating snacks like a starving ghost."
Xie Yingmian has tasted all the snacks in Taohuawu.
I ate a piece of each and felt a little full.
She was about to drink a cup of special peach blossom tea when she heard a familiar voice.
Xie Yingmian raised his eyebrows.
Haha, old acquaintance.
"Who was it?" Xie Yingmian's lips curled up. "It turned out to be Princess Lan Ning."
"Hasn't your embarrassment been enough at Huangyun Temple last time? Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Do you still want to embarrass yourself further?"
Princess Lan Ning's expression suddenly changed.
Last time at Huangyun Temple, she was carried out by the monks like a pig. Not only was she humiliated, but she was also later banned from entering the Huangyun Temple.
She became a big joke among the entire circle of noble ladies in Beijing.
This time when she came to visit during the Spring Festival, the ladies who had a conflict with her whispered to her.
As soon as she approached, the men shut up.
She couldn't get angry, let alone retaliate, and was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
It’s okay that Huangyun Temple is embarrassed.
She was also inexplicably implicated in the case of the Grand Princess.
The scene of being interrogated by the Six Punishments Bureau was like a nightmare. She trembled all over every time she thought of it. In the past few months, she had been dreaming of being interrogated and tortured.
All of this is thanks to Yingmian!
