Chapter 323 is delivered to my door, haha!
The confidant bowed his head and said:
"That Pavilion Master is extremely popular among the people. It is said that he uses mysterious and unpredictable methods and has never failed..."
Xiao Zirui interrupted impatiently:
"What's the use of hearing rumors? I want first-hand information! What is that person's real ability?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness," the confidant said hurriedly, "I have found several people who have come to Tianming Pavilion to ask for divination and confirmed it. All of them said that the Taoist Qingyun has great foresight and is good at exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil spirits."
"I was worried that this statement might be exaggerated or untrue, so I specifically contacted the neighbors of these people to verify it, and they all said the same thing."
Xiao Zirui's expression eased a little and he nodded.
The confidant said again:
"By the way, one of the families with the surname Wen was involved in a major case at the time. It involved a flower thief who committed crimes many times in a row to kill people. The man was actually a Taoist priest with great skills. He used some sinister means to harm many people. However, he was no match for Master Shang Qingyun and was successfully arrested."
"There were many people present at the time of this incident, and the government office also has files and records. I spent some money to make a copy, please take a look, Your Highness!"
Xiao Zirui took the copy of the file and looked at it carefully, narrowing his eyes:
"Very good, it seems that I need to meet the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion!"
…
Yun Qingqing rode his horse all the way towards Tianming Pavilion.
Her mind had been in a mess since the beginning, and she was upset when she saw that person, so she simply went back to work.
When you get busy, you won’t have time to think about these things.
But after passing a big gate, he suddenly reined in the horse, trotted back more than ten feet, and stopped in front of the gate.
The magnificent gate has a total of 7749 door nails, which is the specification only found in the Prince's Mansion.
There are imperial guards guarding the door because Crown Prince Xiao Zirui has been under house arrest by the Emperor and is still within the time limit.
Yun Qingqing's eyes were shining brightly. She frowned and stared at the Prince's Mansion for a while, then suddenly dismounted and walked forward.
The imperial guards immediately stopped her:
"Who is coming?"
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"Go and inform the prince that the Regent Princess wants to see him."
The two imperial guards who were blocking the road were startled, but seeing that she was calm and elegant, they did not dare to neglect her. They immediately knocked on the door and called out the doorman of the Prince's Mansion.
"Go and inform them immediately that there is a woman claiming to be the Regent Princess and wants to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The imperial guard did not say anything final. After all, he did not know the Regent Princess, so he simply conveyed the original words.
The concierge nodded and went in.
Soon, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion came out and smiled apologetically when he saw Yun Qingqing:
"If it is indeed the princess, please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!"
Yun Qingqing said "hmm" lightly, raised her leg and was about to walk inside, but was stopped by the housekeeper.
"My Lady Princess, I am so sorry today. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ill and cannot meet with guests."
"Oh?" Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and curled her lips. "The emperor's nephew suddenly fell ill. As the emperor's aunt, I should go to see him and express my condolences."
The butler paused and said in embarrassment:
"Your Highness, you may not know that His Highness actually caught a cold two days ago and has just gotten better. He has sweated a lot and is taking a bath right now. It is indeed... inconvenient!"
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes and chuckled softly:
"So that's how it is, okay."
After saying this, she didn't delay any longer. She turned around, walked down the stairs happily, mounted her horse and left.
The housekeeper was stunned. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had suffered so many setbacks at the hands of the Regent Princess before. He was worried that the Princess would break into the Crown Prince's Mansion and he didn't know how to stop her.
Fortunately, she didn't force her way in. The housekeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went back to close the door.
After Yun Qingqing turned a corner, she stopped, pinched her fingers a few times, sneered, and changed direction.
Sick as hell!
Her pair of intelligent eyes had already seen clearly the fortune of the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Zirui usually had a dark aura that could be seen from afar, so she could tell at a glance whether he was in the mansion or not!
She went forward to test him, just to confirm whether he was summoned by the emperor or sneaked out.
Seeing that the housekeeper was trying to stop him and even made up some nonsense about being sick, the matter was already very obvious!
Yun Qingqing was too lazy to think about where her irritability came from.
I was just in a bad mood and Xiao Zirui just showed up.
hehe!
She rode her horse to a deserted place, stopped, and made a hand gesture to open her third eye.
An additional perspective immediately appeared in my mind, hovering high in the sky, with the help of my heavenly eye and my spiritual pupil, I could see the scenery within a radius of more than ten miles.
She saw at a glance a ball of thick purple air slowly moving out of the city, and not far away was a large mass of black luck.
Yun Qingqing raised his eyebrows, sneered, put away his Heavenly Eye, and rode his horse in that direction.
Not long after, she arrived at the teahouse she had just locked onto, looked up at one of the windows, then turned and walked into a liquor store next door.
"Boss, give me a pot of wine."
"Okay, whatever you want, we have the best Shilixiang, Hongerer and..."
"No need, just take whichever is the cheapest!"
…
Xiao Zirui sat at the window, watching the Regent's delegation passing by with a gloomy face. He sat there for a while, waiting for the crowd to disperse before he put on his hat and left the teahouse to return home.
Thanks to the "blessing" of the Regent, after the Crown Prince was confined to his house, the front, back, side doors and all entrances and exits of the mansion were guarded by imperial guards. He had quietly climbed over the wall and had to get back as soon as possible, lest anything go wrong in the mansion. Once discovered, it would be troublesome.
Xiao Zirui lowered his hat and hurried forward. After passing the Censorate and crossing a street, he would reach the Prince's Mansion. He was calculating which wall it would be safer to climb back from at this point in time, and did not pay much attention to the short and stocky man coming towards him.
The two men passed each other, and the man's body suddenly tilted for some reason, and his shoulder collided heavily with Xiao Zirui, and the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
"Ah! My wine!" The man yelled on the spot, and then glared at Xiao Zirui, "Why don't you look at the road when you walk! You have to compensate me for my wine!"
Xiao Zirui's face darkened, and he wanted to ask someone to arrest this commoner right away:
"Give him to Ben..."
"Young Master, please calm down!" The confidant was shocked and interrupted him in time.
Xiao Zirui then realized that his identity must not be exposed now!
He then suppressed his anger and said coldly:
"What are you yelling about? I'll give you as much silver as you want as compensation!"
The short and stocky man didn't buy it, pointing at the broken wine jar on the ground and said angrily:
"Is it so great to have silver? Do you know the origin of this wine? This is the old wine that my great-grandfather brewed himself and buried under a tree for hundreds of years! This is my family heirloom, and I would never trade it for anything else!"
"I don't want your dirty money, I want you to pay for the wine! If you can't pay, come with me to see the official!"
As he said this, he reached out to pull Xiao Zirui's arm.
The confidant shouted "How dare you!" and wanted to step forward to drive the man away, but somehow the man dodged nimbly and continued to raise his hand to pinch Xiao Zirui's wrist.
Xiao Zirui stepped back with a sullen face to avoid the man's rough hand, but saw the other party shouting angrily, "Come with me to see the official!" He raised his arm suddenly, and the movement was so fast that before Xiao Zirui could react, his hat was blown away.
