1077 Four copper coins on the back of the coffee table



The carriage left the street where Deyi Winery was located, and Xiao Wei asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, where are we going next?"

Yu Xiao: "You and Xiao Zhuang go to the palace, I'll go home."

Xiao Wei said, "Now? I don't know if the Prince Consort has finished the matter."

"Really?" Yu Xiao: "I've already eaten, but Xiao Gu and the others haven't finished their performance yet?"

Can you eat a meal faster than ordinary people? Xiao Wei was very conflicted, wondering if telling the truth would hurt his princess.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't let Xiao Wei hesitate for too long. She took another piece of peach cake and said, "Okay, you and Xiaozhuang go to the palace. I'll go see the Taoist priest's junior brother."

Xiao Wei said, "Earth spirit?"

"I can't see Tianjie even if I want to," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Wei in a low voice, "Jingmo didn't let Master Tianjie live in the city. He lives in an inn outside the city."

Xiao Wei rubbed his forehead, he knew that this news was useless.

"Let's just decide it happily," Yu Xiaoxiao walked out of the carriage. When Xiao Wei looked up again, his princess was already standing on the wall opposite him. Xiao Wei blinked again, and the princess disappeared.

"Go to the Imperial Palace," Xiao Wei reached out to close the open car window and gave the order.

Xiao Zhuang deliberately walked around and came to Xiao Wei's side from the carriage. He looked at the closed window and asked Xiao Wei in a low voice, "Is the princess gone?"

Xiao Wei nodded.

Xiaozhuang said nothing more and urged the horse to go to the other side of the carriage.

Yu Xiaoxiao soon arrived at Wuming Tower again and stood on the eaves to listen to the noises in the house. There was no one in the house, so Yu Xiaoxiao pushed the window and went in.

The layout of the room was still the same as Yu Xiaoxiao saw it last night. It must have been cleaned just now, and the water spilled in the room had not dried yet.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked around the room and didn't find anything to eat. Then she looked again and didn't see anything valuable. Finally, Her Royal Highness stood in front of the master's chair and thought that the chair might be worth some money. The pattern carved on the back of the chair was very beautiful. (Besides food and money, are there other things you care about? For example, intelligence or something? o(╯□╰)o)

Having reserved the armchair in her mind, Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the coffee table next to the armchair for a long time. There were no carvings on the coffee table. In the eyes of Yu Xiaoxiao, who had no appreciation ability, this coffee table was more than one level lower than the armchair. Why not use a matching one? Yu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself. (What does this have to do with you?!)

After thinking about it, Yu Xiaoxiao was not giving up. What if the pattern was carved on the back of the coffee table? There was no reason why the people in the Eternal Life Temple were not as tasteful as her, a semi-illiterate person. So Her Royal Highness lifted the coffee table again, and then found four copper coins stuck on the back of the coffee table. She shook the coffee table vigorously, and the four copper coins fell to the ground, revealing four round deep holes on the coffee table. These four copper coins were actually embedded into the back of the coffee table by someone.

Yu Xiaoxiao put down the coffee table, picked up four copper coins, and looked at them carefully, but she couldn't see anything particularly valuable about them. Yu Xiaoxiao was very confused. Could it be that the people in the Eternal Life Temple had nothing to do and embedded the copper coins into the wood for fun? Even if she had nothing to do, she would never do such a thing!

There were footsteps outside the door, and Yu Xiaoxiao straightened the coffee table and put it back to its original place.

The footsteps passed by the door without stopping.

No need to hide, Yu Xiaoxiao sat on the armchair to study the four copper coins. Four copper coins could buy four strings of candied haws, six big buns, and... Yu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva as she thought about it, but she couldn't take the money. What if the money was very important and was found missing? Then the earth spirit would know that their whereabouts were exposed.

There were some patterns on the four copper coins which were invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, but Yu Xiaoxiao could see them clearly. After thinking for a while with her head tilted, Yu Xiaoxiao took out four copper coins from her pocket, copied four identical copper coins with the dagger, and put them back on the back of the coffee table.

At this time, the sound of a carriage stopping suddenly came from downstairs. Yu Xiaoxiao ran to the window and saw Di Ling getting off the carriage.

A man dressed as a waiter ran out of the building and said to Di Ling, "Master, Gu Xingyan also rushed back to the Gu Mansion from the military camp. Many people saw that he looked strange. I think he cried."

Yu Xiaoxiao was standing at the window rubbing her nose. This is my second brother Gu putting on a show for you bastards!

Di Ling stood in front of the building door, and suddenly he felt a panic in his heart. Master Di Ling raised his head and looked upstairs.

Throughout the building, all the windows facing the street were closed.

The waiter and the driver also looked up at the building following Di Ling, but they didn't see anything wrong.

Di Ling hurried into the building and went straight to the fifth floor.

Yu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while between leaving and not leaving, but finally decided that since she was so brave and invincible, why should she leave? So Her Royal Highness climbed onto the beam.

Di Ling entered the house and looked around. The house was cleaned very well, with bright and spotless windows and tables.

"Master?" someone asked outside the door.

"I want to be alone for a while," Di Ling walked to the coffee table next to the armchair.

The footsteps outside the door went downstairs.

Di Ling took out four copper coins from under the coffee table and rubbed them repeatedly in his hand.

Yu Xiaoxiao curled her lips on the beam, and she knew that these four copper coins had special meaning.

The earth spirit rubbed the coin for a while, then raised it up to take a closer look.

Yu Xiaoxiao yawned as she sat on the beam. What could this old traitor see wrong with what she produced?

At this time, someone else came outside the door asking to see him.

"Come in," Di Ling said, holding the copper coin in his palm.

The person who came was the old man that Yu Xiaoxiao saw last night.

"What's the matter?" the earth spirit asked this person.

The old man said, "Master, the Gu family is preparing for the funeral. They say that Madam Xu has passed away."

The earth spirit's eyes jumped.

The old man said, "Gu Xingnuo has now managed the Gu Mansion like an iron barrel. We cannot find out the exact situation."

The Earth Spirit asked, "Is there any legend about how Xu died?"

The old man shook his head and said, "The people in the Gu Mansion are very secretive about this."

"Has Gu Xingnuo returned home?" Di Ling asked again.

The old man said, "He has returned to the palace. It was two of Princess Linglong's followers who sent him back. All three of them were injured, and it looked like they were seriously injured."

Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. Her brother Gu and the others were so good at acting? (Two of them were really injured, princess! ╮(╯_╰)╭)

"Where is Princess Linglong?" Di Ling originally wanted to ask the old man to leave, but after thinking about it, he asked the old man again.

The old man said, "Someone saw the princess coming out of Deyi Winery this morning. Jing Mo personally saw her off. Princess Linglong is now back at the Imperial Palace."

The Earth Spirit sneered and said, "Princess, of royal blood, now it seems that you are nothing more than a slut."

Your sister!

Yu Xiaoxiao cursed silently from the beam, "You are the little slut, no, a bitch!" For the sake of Master Tianjie, she would not ask about the whole family of this old traitor.
