Chapter 71: Stirring Up the Storm



After hearing her words, the leader of the Royal Guards raised his hand and rushed forward without hesitation to capture all the suspicious people.

"Princess Anle, are you okay?"

The leader of the Imperial Guards who led the team this time knew her. He was a subordinate of the emperor's uncle Gu Xinyuan.

This person was also involved when Tao Yuwei rescued the Ninth Prince in the hunting ground.

He admired Tao Yuwei very much for her decisiveness and fearlessness in leading people to rescue the Ninth Prince, which made his boss, Uncle Gu, very grateful.

Seeing Princess Anle's aggrieved look on her face at the moment, it must be related to the recent rumors.

"Princess Anle, please rest assured. We have taken these people away."

After investigation, they found out why so many crows appeared here.

These people followed Princess Anle shortly after she entered the restaurant and maliciously mocked her while she was having a meal, and were attacked by a large number of crows.

They have reason to suspect that the large-scale appearance of crows was the work of these people.

The matter is of great importance, and these must be brought back to report to His Majesty.

In this way, this team of imperial guards arrested these people and returned to the palace to report to Emperor Jianchang.

When these people were taken away, their faces were ashen and each of them looked numb.

As the Royal Guards left, Tao Yuwei and her servant paid the bill to the restaurant owner.

The owner of the restaurant not only did not charge the master and servant for the meal, but they kept thanking Tao Yuwei.

"Princess Anle's patronage of my shop has brought it fame and revenue, but you haven't even had a peaceful meal in my shop. So, I'm going to skip the meal."

The old man who ran the restaurant was quite honest in his business. Knowing that she brought business to his store, he specially thanked her.

However, the meal bill must be paid, but she has an arrangement and hopes the other party can agree to her request.

Tao Yuwei insisted on paying, but before she left, she asked the restaurant owner for a favor.

After hearing this, the boss decisively agreed to help her.

After the deal was settled, the master and servant walked out of the bustling restaurant.

The crow standing on her shoulder croaked twice, sending a signal to the sky. Then a large number of circling crows quickly flew away, and the sky soon returned to calm.

The large crowd of onlookers did not leave in a hurry when they saw the crows flying away overhead.

They haven't figured out why there are so many crows here.

Those who had been staying outside asked each other for information and watched the fun from those who had just walked out of the restaurant.

"What on earth did those people do? They even alarmed the Imperial Guards."

"Hey, I know what they did. Let me tell you in detail..."

After hearing what happened in the restaurant, some people unanimously agreed that the man who deliberately came to chat up Tao Yuwei had evil intentions and was deliberately looking for trouble with Princess Anle.

"Regarding the large number of crows that have appeared here, I suspect these people must have used some kind of drug to deliberately attract these unlucky crows, hoping to plot against Princess Anle."

"The purpose is self-evident, it is nothing more than to first tarnish Princess Anle's reputation.

Then, with the help of the large number of crows he attracted, he told everyone that Princess Anle was an ominous person.

Who would have thought that when they lifted the stone, they hit their own feet, and the crows smelled the medicine on them and swooped down on them."

"Your guess is reasonable. I also think this is possible. However, in this case, the person who could come up with such a vicious plan must be very vicious. I wonder who Princess Anle offended to allow that person to recklessly exploit her innocence."

"That's not something we should worry about!"

In this way, everyone believes that this statement is the most reasonable.

After the crowd dispersed, one of them returned to the restaurant and found the owner, saying happily, "Everything was spread just as you said."

The restaurant owner nodded happily. "That's good. Let's get busy. There are still tables full of dishes in the hall that need to be cleared."

Within the capital, the news that Princess Anle was maliciously slandered and lost her innocence while dining in a restaurant, and that it was also believed that a large number of crows were attracted to her, who were determined to label her as an unlucky person, spread throughout the capital like the wind.

The commoner girl Yu Meiyao insisted on following her and wanted to be her personal maid.

Tao Yuwei decisively rejected him. Before leaving, she arranged a job for him to work as a female worker in the perfume workshop run by her mother, Wu.

Yu Meiyao nodded happily in agreement.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, Tao Yuwei was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Those who were taken away by the Imperial Guards suffered severe physical pain at best, and at worst lost their lives.

I believe that soon the emperor will help her vent her anger.

Seeing that she had her eyes closed but a silly smile on her delicate white face, the crow standing on her shoulder became unhappy.

"Little girl, my people have been working for you for most of the day, and they're starving. Remember to redeem our promise as soon as possible. When you return, give us the mutton strips as soon as possible."

[Yes, you did a great job! When you get home, I will definitely feed you guys.]

Mutton is so expensive that she can’t even bear to eat it herself. These crows are too demanding.

They are carnivorous birds anyway, so just go back and feed them some pork and chicken.

The crows didn't know that the mutton strips fed to them had been replaced by other meat by the stingy Tao Yuwei.

The master and servant returned from this trip with satisfaction, but outside, the situation was in chaos because of their stirring up trouble.
