He actually thought that this was the reason he came here?
Wei Wei was about to explain when she looked up and saw a figure walking into the teahouse.
He had a dignified bearing and an air of nobility.
It turned out to be Jiang Yu, whom I hadn't seen for almost half a month!
How did he end up here?
Wei Wei's eyes were full of doubt, but she was also very happy.
Yu Qian also noticed the newcomer. He stood up from his seat, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
"Seventh Prince, what brings you here?"
Jiang Yu's smiling gaze swept across Wei Wei's face before finally settling on Yu Qian's: "I was just passing by and saw you all here, so I came over to say hello."
"Would Lord Yu not welcome this?"
Yu Qian replied very respectfully, "How could that be?"
He immediately ordered the shopkeeper to serve tea and food.
Jiang Yu didn't stand on ceremony. He probably hadn't rested or eaten for the past two days. After the tea and food were brought over, he ate heartily.
Wei Wei noticed the dark circles under his eyes and realized that the Second Prince's rebellion had taken him a lot of effort, which made her feel a little sorry for him.
"Don't be too hasty, be careful not to choke."
She gently reminded him.
After hearing her words, Jiang Yu's movements did indeed slow down a bit.
Although they didn't speak, they seemed to know each other very well.
Yu Qian's eyes were deep and he seemed lost in thought.
Jiang Yu didn't intend for him to say anything.
After eating until he was about 70% full, he raised his head. Although there was a smile on his lips, there was no smile in his peach blossom eyes: "If Lord Yu has nothing else, you may go back first."
Yu Qian was taken aback, and Wei Wei also looked at him with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, this person not only chased people away, but was also so rude.
No matter what, Yu Qian was still a high-ranking official!
Isn't that going too far?
Wei Wei looked at him with some concern.
Jiang Yu winked at her, clearly not taking it to heart at all.
The interaction between the two people just didn't feel right to Yu Qian.
It's also inexplicably an eyesore.
It was obvious that neither of them welcomed him, so why should he be the superfluous one?
Thinking this, he stood up abruptly and walked out.
Jiang Yu called out to him again at this moment: "I didn't bring any money with me today, so please settle the bill first, and I'll pay you back later."
Yu Qiandao's face darkened even more.
He didn't bother to reply and walked towards the shopkeeper with a flick of his sleeve.
Only after the man paid the bill and left did Wei Wei suppress a laugh and ask, "Didn't you go too far? No matter what, he's a high-ranking official in the court. If he were to impeach you like the Emperor did, wouldn't you regret it?"
Jiang Yu, however, did not share this understanding. He raised his long eyebrows and gave a disapproving look: "It's not like I'm not going to give it to him. What's wrong with me asking him to pay the bill first?"
"If he couldn't even handle something this small, how could he have climbed so fast? Don't worry."
Is that how it's said?
Wei Wei didn't want to argue with him about these things, so she changed the subject and asked, "Did you really just pass by here?"
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Otherwise what?"
"Not really."
Wei Wei said frankly, "It's more like they came here on purpose."
Jiang Yu sighed and did not deny it: "Since you know I came here on purpose, how come you were still talking to him?"
Something about his tone sounded off, and Wei Wei's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't hide the doubt in his eyes.
After waiting for a while, he seemed to suddenly realize something: "You don't think that I have some kind of unusual relationship with Lord Yu, do you?"
At this point, she found it quite amusing and couldn't help but chuckle softly, a rather carefree laugh.
Jiang Yu's expression darkened: "I know you definitely didn't mean it that way, but that doesn't mean Yu Qian didn't."
"This person is very deep-thinking; don't talk to him too much."
This makes it sound like Yu Qian is some kind of wicked, shameful person.
This strong sense of vigilance brought a smile back to Wei Wei's eyes.
Is he jealous?
Seeing Wei Wei looking at him with that knowing gaze, Jiang Yu's ears unconsciously turned a little pink.
Isn't she just so cute?
One moment she's as noble as an immortal, the next she's haughty, and then she's incredibly shy. What kind of treasure has she picked up? Why didn't I notice before?
She tapped the back of his hand with her finger and explained patiently, "You're mistaken. I just look like an old friend of his, which is why he's not used to it yet."
After saying that, he explained it again in a low voice.
Jiang Yu listened to this somewhat outrageous story with a look of disbelief on his face.
Never mind, he didn't want Yu Qian's matter to take up too much of their time.
So I put it down.
"I'll take you back."
He stood up and spoke.
Wei Wei then stood up as well.
Just as I reached the door, I remembered that Xiaoyue had gone to inform He Changting and hadn't returned yet.
A sense of unease and worry crept into my heart.
Jiang Yu glanced at the tree beside him and said, "Let Leng Pusheng go look for it. Let's go first."
Both of them trusted Leng Pusheng a lot, and after thinking about it, Wei Wei agreed.
Back in Tonghua Alley, Wei Wei asked about what had happened in the palace.
"What is His Majesty's current attitude? Has he considered first determining the position of Crown Prince?"
A hint of mockery appeared in Jiang Yu's eyes when he thought about this.
"When it came to dealing with my second brother, I noticed that he seemed somewhat tempted, but perhaps the ministers were pressing him too hard, and he changed his mind."
"Sitting in that position for too long can make a person become somewhat unhealthy."
"The more others want him to do something, the more he will do the opposite."
"Many ministers in the court had strong opinions about this, but dared not speak out for fear of being the first to speak out and being used as a warning to others."
Wei Wei said, "I think His Majesty is still rather unclear about who the Crown Prince should be."
"Logically speaking, since the second and third princes are already dead, the only one with real power is the fifth prince."
"But the Fifth Prince's behavior was too disheartening for him."
That's why he rejected the ministers' suggestions.
Jiang Yu nodded and smiled, "I know what you sent last time. I'll take a good rest these few days and not go around in front of Father."
Wei Wei responded, "The Emperor must be quite annoyed by the death of two of his prized sons."
“Those brothers only have power in their hearts and no compassion whatsoever, which will only make him more disgusted. There’s no benefit to be gained by going up to them.”
"On the contrary, your performance will make him feel very appropriate."
