Turning around, it was Shen Su and Eunuch Xi.
Although Eunuch Xi looked frail, he was a capable rider. When he approached, he carefully dismounted and saluted Shen Huaixu before asking, "Why is the county lady here too?"
"We came here to watch the fun, but General Qi and his entourage encountered something unexpected when they arrived here. Please ask General Qi for the specific details."
Eunuch Xi didn't ask any more questions and turned to look for Qi Zhan. Shen Huaixu exchanged a glance with his father who had come to his side, and the two of them walked in tacit understanding to a place farther away from the others.
After briefly telling his father what happened on the street, Shen Huaixu said casually, "Dad, I always feel that compared to the Northern Qiang, the Southern Xia's ambitions seem more secretive and dangerous."
Before fleeing the famine, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob and was also connected with Prince Duan. Now that he has Qiao Man, he seems to be even more unscrupulous.
"The national treasury is not well-off, the harvest is poor, the north has just stabilized, and the south still needs to wait a while. Miaomiao, don't worry."
With his father's words, Shen Huaixu felt relieved.
After negotiating with Qi Zhan, Eunuch Xi frowned, and it was obvious that things were not going well.
"General Qi, why don't you come with me to the palace and explain the whole story to His Majesty?" He lowered his voice. "His Majesty is still waiting in the palace."
"Just follow what the eunuch said. Just support the hundred households..."
"Why not leave it to Lord Shen? Lord Shen and Lady Mingyi are father and daughter. Lady Mingyi knows the inside story, so it would be great if she could assist."
The father and daughter were arranged everything by Grandpa Xi without saying a word. They looked at each other and said nothing. This arrangement was exactly what they wanted.
After the main force left, Shen Huaixu was about to speak when he heard someone calling him.
"Mingyi!"
It was Chaohua and the others.
The three of them walked quickly to the father and daughter. Yi Qian had already seen Chen Su. Her eyes moved slightly, and she quickly lowered her head and followed the two people beside her to salute Chen Su.
Chao Hua hurriedly asked, "Where did Master Fu go? Why didn't I see him?"
In order to prevent Eunuch Xi from catching her by the pigtail and complaining to the Emperor's grandfather and grandmother, the three of them secretly observed at the door of the teahouse after Eunuch Xi arrived, but they did not see Fu Yin.
Chen Huaixu looked at the anxiety in Chaohua's eyes and felt a little strange. When did Chaohua become so concerned about Fuyin?
Before she could open her mouth to comfort him, Chen Su spoke first, "Auspicious people like Fu Baihu are blessed by heaven. I believe we will be able to find him soon. Princess, please relax."
Realizing his own loss of composure, Chaohua said nothing more.
Thinking about what was going to happen next, Shen Huaixu felt a little anxious.
"Since it is an important matter, we can't help you. We don't want to disturb you any further. Lord Marquis, Lady County, we will take our leave first." Yi Qian could see that now was not the time to speak, so she spoke immediately.
After she finished speaking, she quickly looked at Chen Su, and seeing that he was just standing there quietly, she quickly looked away.
The other two had no objections and left the place quickly.
Before leaving, Chao Hua hesitated to speak, so Chen Huaixu said, "Don't worry, Princess. If I have any clues, I will let you know."
Only after getting a definite answer did Chao Hua leave with peace of mind.
Shen Su could clearly see the emotional entanglement between the younger generations, and he could also see Yi Qian's unusual feelings for him, but he never paid any attention to it.
After the three of them left, he looked at Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, what do you want to say to Daddy?"
Shen Huaixu tugged at his father's sleeve, "Father, follow me."
Shen Su gave a few instructions to his men, then followed Shen Huaixu to the second floor of the teahouse.
Seriously offering a cup of hot tea, Chen Huaixu said with a flattering smile, "Dad, there's something I must tell you in detail."
Based on Shen Su's understanding of his daughter, he subconsciously felt that this smile was not right. Before he could think about it, he heard Shen Huaixu say, "Actually, I know where Fu Yin is. He has been poisoned and cannot see anyone now."
Shen Su stared at the little man opposite him, and after a long while, he helplessly held his forehead. He did not ask how Shen Huaixu knew about Fu Yin's whereabouts in public, but just asked: "When will he show up?"
"At least one day, at most three days." Shen Huaixu said uncertainly. She really didn't know how long it would take for Fu Yin to recover his mental strength.
"I will report this to His Majesty..." Chen Su thought for a moment and frowned, "Why did this group of people only send one person? From what you said before, the arrow he shot seemed to lure people to capture him..."
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter is not that simple.
"Dad, smell it." Shen Huaixu took out the wrapped handkerchief, "This is the medicinal powder with a strange fragrance."
Chen Su took the handkerchief, lowered his head and sniffed it. He was dazed for a moment but quickly regained consciousness. "What kind of medicine is this? It's so overbearing!"
"I don't know why they only sent one person to die. I just think this powder is very strange. It seems to have come from Southern Xia. Perhaps if we can find out the source of the powder, we can find out who is behind the masked man."
Chen Su lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then spoke again, "I will report to His Majesty that Fu Baihu was abducted by thieves."
The goal was achieved, and Shen Huaixu smiled with his eyebrows curved, "Daddy is the best, Miaomiao will find out who is behind this."
Chen Su knew that there were secrets between Miaomiao and Fuyin. To be more precise, they might have a common enemy, such as the person behind the scenes that Miaomiao mentioned, but he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
He knew in his heart that when the time came, Miaomiao would tell him about some things herself, just like last time.
It was just helping her deal with some minor insignificant troubles, something that was easy to do.
"If you need help, just tell daddy. Daddy will help you." There was a hint of helplessness in Chen Su's eyes. He couldn't help but remind him, "Princess Chaohua seems to be interested in Fuyin. If you want Fuyin to be your husband, daddy will help you snatch him away."
Shen Huaixu's eyes widened, and the smile on his face froze. What kind of a blunder was this?!
But... even Daddy can see that Chaohua is interested in Fuyin, does that mean her intuition is correct?
Ignoring the strange feeling in his heart, Shen Huaixu's first thought was, Fuyin and humans shouldn't belong to the same species, right? How could they get married?
Without thinking too much, she said weakly: "Daddy, I'm only thirteen years old."
"Back then, your mother and I were about the same age and we were determined to be together, but we just didn't say it out loud." As he spoke, Shen Su said dissatisfiedly, "This man looks older, with a high nose and deep eyes, he doesn't look like someone from the Central Plains. If you don't like him, it's okay. You can find another one later."
Chen Huaixu just nodded repeatedly and said nothing more.
He stood up and said, "If Fu Yin sends you another message, please let me know immediately. Daddy has to go and get busy now."
Shen Huaixu breathed a sigh of relief, "Daddy, be careful on the road."
After seeing his father off, Chen Huaixu looked out the window gloomily, closed his eyes and sensed what was happening to Fu Yin in the space.
Fei Yuan was floating in the air motionless. Below him, Fu Bao was spinning like a top, as if he was worried.
