Qing Wu's pretty face twisted slightly for a moment, and she said sinisterly: "Look at what you said. If I don't inhale a few breaths of your Yang energy this evening, I won't be able to win the argument."
Xiao Chenyan handed the food box next to him to Xiao: "Eat first."
When Qing Wu opened it, her eyes lit up. The food box was filled with various snacks, all of which were exquisitely shaped like flowers and looked lifelike.
"Where are you from?"
"Leftovers from the imperial kitchen."
Qing Wu squinted at him and said, "Aren't you busy as a headless fly in the Ministry of Revenue every day?"
Xiao Chenyan didn't answer either, he just took the snacks.
It was indeed not the leftovers from the imperial kitchen, but the kitchen official in charge of the Ministry of Revenue happened to have come from the imperial kitchen. He had excellent cooking skills and was best at making dim sum.
I expected that she would have a big fight that day and wouldn't eat anything, so I asked them to prepare some.
With snacks to feed, Qing Wu didn't beat around the bush and said, "I was wondering how that idiot from the East Palace could become the crown prince."
"After this trip, I think everything is clear."
"Because there is a non-human being next to him?" Xiao Chenyan asked.
"I guess so, but comparison is the thief of anger." Qing Wu said as she ate, "You are a sinister person with a bad fate, while he is blessed with good fortune. Even if he is as stupid as a pig, someone will pour good fortune into him."
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling ironic about this statement.
"You must know more about the prince than I do. Before you came to Beijing, he should have been living a smooth life, right?"
Xiao Chenyan did not comment.
Qing Wu shrugged: "That's right, the helper beside him worked very hard for him, but..."
Qing Wu smiled sarcastically, "Good and bad fortunes are predestined and caused by fate. The prince has done a lot of stupid things. Even though his helpers have been constantly trying to bring him good fortune and ward off disasters, his good fortune will eventually run out."
"In the end, karma came back in a cycle, and retribution was doubled. Disaster lines appeared on the prince's face, and his helpers couldn't help him for much longer."
Qing Wu finished speaking and sneered, "Stupid."
Xiao Chenyan suddenly knocked on her forehead, and Qing Wu glared at him: "What are you doing!"
"You've been talking around in circles for so long, but you still don't tell me who the prince's helpers are?"
Qing Wu was angry: "I didn't see it! How would I know!"
"Is there anything you don't know?" Xiao Chenyan looked at her with a smile.
Qing Wu rolled her eyes: "Anyway, she is one of his concubines. Don't worry, she is not the Crown Princess."
"What happened to the flower mud incident?"
Qing Wu frowned and pouted: "It wasn't the Crown Princess who did it, but she's not innocent either. Those who became Hua Ni were all killed because of the Crown Princess. She has a lot of sins on her shoulders."
"As for why it was made into flower mud, it was probably because someone wanted to teach the Crown Princess a lesson!"
As for whether it was the "mysterious helper" among the Crown Prince's concubines, Qing Wu did not mention it. Even if it was, it didn't matter. Anyway, it was just a group of people in the Eastern Palace fighting each other.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her for a while: "Is this all you have gained today?"
"It's something else." Qing Wu casually mentioned the old emperor's harem: "Your royal grandfather is really crazy about seeking immortality. He even set his sights on his concubines."
Qing Wu sneered: "The layout of his harem and his bedroom is exactly the yin and yang Pisces layout, the yang dragon suppresses the yin phoenix, and the yin life strengthens the yang life. The women in the harem have become the firewood to add to his longevity."
Xiao Chenyan suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze was extremely sharp.
Qing Wu ate snacks and waited for his next words.
There was silence in the car for a long while. The man did not question it, but the feeling of oppression on his body became more and more severe. His eyes were extremely cold and sarcastic.
"How to break this situation?"
Qing Wuyi finished the last piece of dessert and felt a little full, but she looked at Xiao Chenyan with satisfaction.
"It's simple. I'll prepare some things, and you just need to find a way to put them in the old emperor's bedroom."
Xiao Chenyan nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that he looked depressed, Qing Wu asked more: "Don't you have any doubts at all?"
"It doesn't matter whether he ordered it or not, and it doesn't matter whether he was kept in the dark or not. He is the beneficiary anyway." Xiao Chenyan's voice was sarcastic. He would not be surprised even if his great-grandfather did something even more ridiculous.
As early as ten years ago, he had recognized the true face of his royal grandfather.
The emperor is ruthless.
Even if they are father and son, if they threaten his position, he can still fight with them, let alone a woman.
Qing Wu looked at him and tilted her head: "Who asked you this? Isn't it obvious that you don't trust the old emperor? I'm asking, have you ever suspected that I was deceiving you?"
Xiao Chenyan met her gaze, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded.
Suspect Qing Wu?
When she first 'married in', he was indeed full of suspicion, but now...
Xiao Chenyan collected his thoughts and replied, "Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ."
This answer is official.
Qing Wu immediately took advantage of the situation and approached with a smile: "The solution is very simple, but it costs money, at least 700,000 to 800,000 taels."
The man's face suddenly became expressionless, and he added coldly: "When you employ people, you should be suspicious, but when you employ ghosts, you should still be suspicious."
A ghost: A man’s mouth is a ghost that deceives women!
Pah! Xiao Yantai, you are such a stingy person!
Xiao Chenyan still had some things to deal with in the Ministry of Revenue, so he only sent her to the door of her house. Qing Wuyan stepped forward and bit the back of his hand angrily.
The main character is willful and unreasonable.
Xiao Chenyan let her bite him, just like a kitten scratching his itch.
"By the way, you and your seventh uncle are still in secret contact, right?" Qing Wu suddenly asked before getting out of the car.
Speaking of the Seventh Prince, Xiao Chenyan's eyes moved slightly and he hummed.
Qing Wu: "You can send someone to investigate the death of Concubine Xian."
Xiao Chenyan's expression suddenly changed.
When Qing Wu saw the situation of the Yang Dragon suppressing the Yin Phoenix, she took out the Book of Life and Death to check the life span of Concubine Xian.
It is clearly written in the Book of Life and Death that the other party had done good deeds and accumulated virtue, and that he should have died of old age at the age of seventy.
But when the virtuous lady died, she was clearly not yet forty years old.
Where has Yang Shouxian of those thirty years gone?
"I understand." Xiao Chenyan's voice was unusually cold.
Qing Wu nodded and said nothing more.
As for the Crown Princess making a big fuss about Xie Shu and her every day, Qing Wu didn't mention it. It was a small matter, not important, and she didn't take it to heart at all.
Xiao Chenyan sat in the carriage, took a deep breath, and then gave the order to go to the palace.
Baisui was carried into the carriage by him.
"Send a letter to Nanling." Xiao Chenyan said coldly, "Ask about Uncle Qi's recent situation."
Baisui accepted the order. After thinking about it, he mentioned something that Qingwu didn't say.
After hearing this, Xiao Chenyan's expression became even colder.
Baisui said: "The matter between the princess and Xie Shu was made clear to the public by the prince, and the only outsiders who knew what happened were the officials of the Dali Temple who were with Xie Shu that day."
"The Crown Princess is making a big fuss about this matter this time. It can only be because those people didn't control their mouths and spread rumors to the outside world."
Xiao Chenyan nodded calmly: "Before going to the Ministry of Revenue, go to the Dali Temple first."
