Chapter 443 This woman has a serious illness; you need to treat her.
Ruyi overheard the princess's teasing and wanted to explain, but the waiter from the restaurant immediately came out to greet her.
"Your Highness, you've arrived! Madam has been waiting for you for quite some time. Please come in."
He abruptly interrupted Ruyi's hesitation as she was about to speak.
Xiao Tang turned to look at her and gave her a comforting look.
His eyes silently told her not to worry.
She said to the waiter, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately felt that the princess was truly kind and approachable, as she even apologized to him.
After leading the princess upstairs, they made several turns and arrived at a relatively secluded room, where he pulled back the beaded curtain for her.
Behind the beaded curtain was the smiling face of the proprietress.
When Ruyi saw the proprietress's unusually strange smile, she felt a chill run down her spine.
She was so frightened that she instinctively shrank behind Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang saw this and her eyes flickered slightly. She stepped in and said, "I never expected that Madam would come to tell me the news in person."
The woman smiled charmingly, "The princess is no ordinary person, so naturally I cannot entrust such an important matter to others."
That sounds so strange.
Until the woman handed him a letter.
“This is a gift from a friend in Jiangnan. He said you are a close friend.”
"Besides that, I have already inquired about the matters concerning Jiangnan that the Princess wanted to know."
Xiao Tang took the letter, her eyes narrowing slightly.
The inscription read: "To the Regent's Wife."
The handwriting looks quite familiar at first glance.
Could it be... Yan Ruyu?
The Princess Consort Yu, who voluntarily resigned, must be living quite comfortably in Jiangnan now. The fact that she suddenly sent her a letter suggests that Yan Ruyu must know something about what's happening in Jiangnan.
"Thank you. I'll take the letter home and read it at my leisure."
She tucked it into her clothes.
The woman smiled, her eyes crinkling, and glanced at Ruyi in the distance. She said softly, "Your Highness, this matter is not for outsiders to know. I'll tell you alone."
Why all the secrecy?
Xiao Tang turned her head and gestured with her chin toward Ruyi.
Ruyi, of course, refused.
She was worried it might be a scam.
"Your Highness, this won't do! This servant must stay and protect you!"
Xiao Tang exclaimed that she was a silly girl.
What's the point of staying to protect it?
Does this girl even realize that she can't do anything else by staying, let alone protect anyone?
She gently rubbed her forehead and said softly, "Stop fooling around, go outside and wait."
Ruyi pouted her red lips, looking aggrieved, and left.
He looked back every three steps.
Until the beaded curtain was lowered.
Xiao Tang turned his gaze back to the woman in front of him and smiled, "Madam, please speak. What is the information I wish to know?"
"The trouble in Jiangnan this time was a strategy secretly orchestrated by the ruler of another country, which was clearly intended to trip up the Regent."
The woman's words made Xiao Tang's eyes narrow slightly.
She stared intently at the woman. "Which country's ruler?"
For a long time, the entire Five Continents have been quite peaceful.
Especially after the male protagonist dies, the atmosphere is always perfect.
But now this woman is saying that it was the emperor of another country who committed fraud?
The woman rolled up her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, and said with a light laugh, "It's hard to say, after all, this is all the information I can get."
"Does Your Highness have any other questions?"
Such a simple message is worth a hundred taels?
Xiao Tang immediately called it unreliable.
But it's hard to call him a shrewd businessman, since he did provide some information.
Xiao Tang nodded knowingly, "No problem, I'll take my leave now."
She threw down the silver and turned to leave.
Just then, a system warning suddenly rang in Xiao Tang's mind, making her head throb.
She frowned.
[What's wrong with you, you idiot system?]
[Host, what we're saying is, this woman has a serious illness, and you need to treat her.]
The system is amazing! It detected that the woman had a serious illness out of nowhere.
Xiao Tang pursed her lips helplessly and turned around.
He met the smile in the woman's eyes.
Every time I see the smile in this woman's eyes, I deeply understand what it means to have a smile that hides a knife.
Xiao Tang asked softly, "Has Madam been troubled by any illness lately?"
"Illness? How could I be ill? What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"
Yes, yes.
People who are sick never admit they are sick.
Xiao Tang smiled and denied it: "I was overthinking it. Goodbye."
After taking two steps, the woman's footsteps, like those of a ghost, suddenly closed in on her.
The fist landed on Xiao Tang's lower back.
A current of electricity passed through.
Xiao Tang rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground.
...
Night fell.
Di Jingling paced back and forth in the courtyard.
He had not seen Xiao Tang since he returned home from court, and he was restless and unable to eat or sleep.
To Yan Shi and Yan Jiu, this action was clearly a sign of unease.
The two watched him walk from left to right, then from right to left, his whole demeanor agitated.
Yanjiu was also uneasy.
The princess has disappeared, and Ruyi has disappeared along with her.
Disturbing.
They were all waiting for the guards to return and report the situation.
It was clearly a sunny day, but the entire palace seemed to be shrouded in a dark, low-pressure atmosphere.
They knew it all came from the regent.
Fortunately, at this moment, the guard slipped into the palace and knelt down on one knee in front of Di Jingling.
"Reporting to the Regent, the Princess Consort went to Wangchun Tower today and has not come out since."
Yan Jiu and Yan Shi exchanged a glance, stunned.
Di Jingling finally stopped hesitating and nodded knowingly, "Wangchun Tower?"
