Chapter 442 Feeling Today is an Ominous Sign
Xiao Tang is not worried about Jiangnan.
She was just curious.
Who would be so bold? After all, the lesson of Di Yanhen is still fresh in everyone's mind.
It's especially outrageous that someone is now trying to rebel.
But from another perspective, this is not surprising. After all, Di Yanqing is the youngest prince, and he has five older brothers, none of whom are easy to deal with.
The royal family is ruthless; if you want to take the throne, you have to get rid of the regent first.
Di Yanhen failed, but that doesn't mean others don't want to.
After all, the story has already ended and will no longer follow the events described in the book.
Xiao Tang's face was serious.
Ruyi resonated with her solemnity and also became serious, nodding slightly, "Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will have Yanjiu speed up the process."
Yan Jiu, who was urging his horse on, was very confused, especially by being inexplicably asked to speed up...
He had to say to the princess, "Your Highness, even if we rush there now, we can only get some random information. It would be better to wait for the prince to return and ask him personally."
"Who said I went to gather information?" Xiao Tang glared at him. "I went on a spring outing."
One sentence was enough to shut Yan Jiu up.
The princess has already said so; if he keeps nagging, she'll find him utterly repulsive.
Yan Jiu nodded silently.
He sighed inwardly, thinking how difficult it must be for Yan Shi to serve the princess on a daily basis.
Wangchunlou was the most well-informed restaurant in the entire capital.
Besides the guests who come here every day to discuss various important matters, Wangchun Tower is also secretly a spy agency.
Behind the scenes, they would gather information for various high-ranking officials and nobles, charging one hundred taels of silver for each piece of information.
It may not seem expensive, but it's absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to actually spend 100 taels of silver to gather information.
Xiao Tang came here specifically because she saw this point.
Ruyi quickly handed her the money bag.
"Your Highness, this silver isn't much..."
The implication is that you'd better be careful.
Xiao Tang glanced at Ruyi and said, "Don't worry, your princess isn't a spendthrift."
Ruyi nodded repeatedly.
The princess is absolutely right.
As soon as the three entered the restaurant, a waiter greeted them warmly, poured them hot tea, and happily introduced them to the restaurant's specialties.
Xiao Tang didn't actually hear a word of it and just casually agreed.
The waiter was sent away.
Xiao Tang beckoned to Yan Jiu and Ru Yi with her finger, "Let's split up. You go to the left to inquire, and Yan Jiu, you go to the right to inquire. Tell me any news you find."
The two exchanged helpless glances.
Then, Yan Jiu and Ru Yi got up and went to do their work without complaint.
Xiao Tang pricked up her ears to listen to the discussions around her.
They talked about everything from the smallest things, like who had a puppy, to the most trivial matters in other people's lives, but there was nothing she wanted to hear.
Xiao Tang remained silent.
I took a sip of tea.
After drinking about half a cup of tea, Ruyi and Yanjiu returned.
The two shook their heads at Xiao Tang in unison, "Your Highness, we haven't heard any news..."
Xiao Tang clicked her tongue: "Okay."
Before long, all the dishes were served. Xiao Tang stared at the dishes, her gaze deepening.
Just as the waiter turned to leave, she immediately called out to him.
"Waiter, I don't think I ordered these two dishes."
The waiter, who was about to leave, exclaimed "Oh!" before replying, "Your Highness, this is a gift from our boss. Please don't be shy, and enjoy it."
Xiao Tang frowned.
Looking up, I followed the waiter's gaze to the second floor.
In a certain room, a beaded curtain obscured the view, and only a figure could be vaguely seen.
Xiao Tang nodded. "Thank you."
The waiter said with a smile, "You don't need to be so polite."
The whole process left Ruyi and Yanjiu completely dumbfounded.
Ruyi asked softly, "What's going on, Your Highness? Is there something wrong with this person?"
Xiao Tang shook her head.
She didn't know.
But she knew that the restaurant owner was deliberately trying to lure her up for a meeting.
She casually tasted the food on the table, then got up and went upstairs.
Ruyi and Yanjiu were stunned, and the two hurriedly chased after them.
I'm afraid the princess might be targeted by that boss or something...
The beaded curtain was lifted, and all three of them saw the woman in the purple dress.
The woman, still charming and beautiful, looked to be in her forties. She held an abacus in her hand and smiled gently with a hint of sweetness when she saw the three of them.
She said to Xiao Tang, "Does Your Highness have a business opportunity with me?"
"That's right, I need information, one hundred taels of silver per message, is that right?"
Xiao Tang took the silver out of her purse and placed it on her table.
The proprietress smiled enigmatically, "What kind of information do you want to find out? I will only accept this hundred taels of silver if I can find it for you."
Wow, this proprietress is so honest?
"I will never accept money without obtaining information?"
Xiao Tang simply wrote the two characters "Jiangnan" on the paper with ink and said in a low voice, "Whatever the news, just tell me. Also, we'll settle the silver amount after we get the news."
The proprietress smiled gently and nodded.
"no problem."
As they left, Ruyi asked with a hint of doubt, "Your Highness, don't you think this proprietress seems to have been waiting here on purpose, waiting for you to appear?"
"If Ruyi can sense it, Your Highness, I feel the same way."
Ruyi immediately glanced at Yan Jiu sideways, her face full of displeasure, "What do you mean? You can't let me notice?"
