Chapter 341 Big Misunderstanding
Xiao Changheng held the bowl and stared at the black liquid for a long time.
I don't want to admit it, but... you can tell at a glance that the food came from her.
For this stuff, it doesn't make any difference whether you eat it while it's hot or not, right?
He put down the bowl, thought it best to wait a while, turned away from the table and sat back on the bed.
It can be cooled down to make the taste buds less irritated. Hmm, that makes sense...
…But she did this herself, didn’t she?
...and even sent someone to deliver it to him from afar.
...The one sent was the Ghost King.
...He must be afraid that if he sends it too late, it will get cold.
Xiao Changheng stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, strode to the table, picked up the bowl, closed his eyes, held his breath, and drank what was inside.
As soon as he put the bowl down with a clang, he heard a cold wind suddenly blowing from the corner.
Xiao Changheng was stunned, and his face, which had been wrinkled because of the indescribable taste in his mouth, immediately returned to being expressionless.
"...Didn't you leave?" a prince asked in a calm voice.
"...I just remembered that the lunch box and bowl have to be sent back." The voice was also very faint.
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the food box and empty bowl disappeared completely.
"Excuse me, goodbye."
The room temperature returned to normal.
Xiao Changheng stood there silently and counted for fifty times. Seeing that there was no movement, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and gulped down five or six cups of tea. Only then did his expression relax a little.
No sleepiness at all.
He walked to the window, opened it and looked at the moonlight for a while, then suddenly chuckled and called Nan Zheng.
"Get some paper and pen."
Nan Zheng prepared paper and pen. Xiao Changheng cut a small piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote a letter in tiny handwriting, rolled it into a small tube, sealed it, and handed it to Nan Zheng.
"Send a pigeon to the princess, go quickly."
Nan Zheng was stunned and confirmed:
"Your Majesty, this letter... is it really going to be sent to the princess?"
The prince used to write letters to the princess every day, but he never sent them.
Xiao Changheng glanced at him indifferently.
Nanzheng was shocked:
"I understand. I'll go right away."
…
On the road to the underworld, the little ghost who had been chasing them all the way saw the king carrying a food box and walking towards him with a relaxed expression, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that the king has brought the things back. Fortunately, the mortal hasn't drunk the porridge yet..."
"Who said that? He drank it." Tang Yue said with a curled lip.
The little ghost was startled:
"Ah? Then he..."
"It seems that this guy has similar tastes to us. I see he is drinking very happily and drank it all in one breath."
"Hiss...really?" The little ghost looked incredulous.
Tang Yue recalled what he saw when he rushed back and nodded with satisfaction.
The mission assigned by the master must not go wrong. Fortunately, this mission was done well and I can go back and report with peace of mind.
By the way, I didn’t expect that person also likes Youmingzui’s food, what a taste!
You are truly worthy of being the husband chosen by the Master!
A certain woman far away in the imperial capital had no idea that the bowl of porridge she had prepared had caused the subordinates of the underworld to have a strange misunderstanding about a certain prince's taste.
The second day.
Yun Qingqing received a letter sent by carrier pigeon from far away Yujing.
It reads, "I am deeply comforted by the care and concern of my virtuous wife. I am eager to return home." and signs it with the word "Heng".
The corners of her lips curved up, revealing a smile that she herself was not aware of.
…
…
Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, good news!"
Xiao Zirui's expression brightened:
"Have you found someone who can enter the Tianming Pavilion?"
"Exactly!"
"Very good!"
Xiao Zirui initially sent his men to search for Tianming Pavilion, but discovered that the location of Tianming Pavilion was not a secret at all.
However, all the men tried, and just like the countless people wandering aimlessly outside, no one could see the legendary door.
Later, he thought of a way. He secretly sent people to hire people to look for it. As long as one of these people could enter the Tianming Pavilion, he would let him bring his people to meet the pavilion master.
Originally, he was thinking of going there himself, but after the lesson from last time, he no longer dared to act rashly.
However, with his status as a prince, as long as he could meet the Pavilion Master, inviting him to his house would be a matter of a word.
However, after soliciting from the public for more than half a month, no one was found who could enter the Tianming Pavilion.
What upset him even more was that his subordinates reported that many people disappeared from that place every day for a while and then reappeared, and it was obvious that they had already been there.
The problem is that before they go in, they can't tell who can enter just by looking at their appearance.
Once the people who went in came out, they could no longer see the gate, so it was useless to look for it.
The people in the Prince's Mansion spent a lot of money to hire people to try, before they figured it out. In the end, it was the Pavilion Master who claimed that "only those with destiny can enter", but no one could figure out what this "destiny" was, it all depended on luck.
Xiao Zirui felt distressed about all the money he had spent over the past few days. How could he not be annoyed?
Fortunately, there is finally some progress now.
"Where is the person? Why don't you bring him to see me?" Xiao Zirui was both excited and impatient.
The confidant whispered:
"Your Highness, please be patient. This person is not a commoner. We used some money to find this person from the files of the government office. Therefore, we did not contact him rashly and wait for the decision of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh?" Xiao Zirui was stunned. "Someone from the government?"
"That's right." The confidant handed over a document, "This man's surname is Yan. He was originally a small constable in the county government. Now he has been transferred to the Six Gates as the head of the constable..."
"The first thing that Qingyun Zhenren was known for was catching the real culprit in the flower-stomping murder case. That case was handled by this Captain Yan."
Xiao Zirui nodded thoughtfully: "I have an impression of that case... Please continue."
"We noticed this person because we found a few cases that were well known to be handled by Master Qingyun. We found that in almost every case, this Captain Yan was the one who handled the government's case."
"I see!" Xiao Zirui understood. "This man's relationship with Tianming Pavilion is obviously not just a simple investigation. He must know the Pavilion Master... You did a great job!"
He thought that since this man was acquainted with the Pavilion Master, he naturally could not hire him in the same way as he would treat a commoner seeking a title, and he should act with caution.
Xiao Zirui pondered for a moment and said:
"Since he works for the court, he must know some people in the officialdom. Check his interpersonal relationships and find the right person to contact."
"You must bring him to me without leaving any traces of deliberateness!"
…
One day, Yun Qingqing had just arrived at Tianming Pavilion and sat down when she heard a commotion on the street.
She frowned. She had said before that people who had received favors should not be allowed to kneel down in the street to express their gratitude. The effect was very significant. No one would disturb others anymore.
But the people who are making trouble outside now are obviously not here to thank Tianming Pavilion.
Yun Qingqing opened the window and looked out.
I saw a tall, skinny man with a dark face, holding a talisman and shouting in the street:
"They say that Tianming Pavilion is the most effective. That's simply a lie! Don't believe them!"
"I drew a talisman here a few days ago. The people in the pavilion said that there was a divine beast drawn on the talisman. I went back and used it as they said, and I almost lost my life!"
"When I came back to settle accounts with them, I couldn't even get through the main gate! It's ridiculous that people still think it's magical. I saw that the Pavilion Master hid the main gate, it's obvious that he was guilty!"
