Xiao Chenyan's sudden confession stirred up confusion in everyone's heart.
The matter of the refugees has been almost dealt with, and he doesn't need to run around anymore. If he stays in the palace, the two of them will inevitably see each other every now and then.
Qing Wu avoided him intentionally, and saw him several times a day.
On the day when the relief grain from the imperial court arrived, she, who was always lazy, actually avoided it and ran to the shanty alley.
Now, even other people noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two.
Baisui went to find Xiao Chenyan with a food box to report back. The man was about to leave the house in light armor, so Baisui quickly caught up with him: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Chenyan glanced at the lunch box in his hand.
The lunch box contained the Nanling breakfast he had bought in the morning. Qing Wu was a greedy person, and after arriving in Nanling, he had been running around without a moment's leisure.
When she was staying in the palace, she once asked about the special foods in Nanling. Xiao Chenyan knew about it and thought of finding them for her personally when he had time.
But you see, the snacks were not delivered.
"I asked Sister Hong, and she said that the princess went out early in the morning and didn't let them follow and serve her." Baisui was shocked: "The princess didn't even sleep in!"
Xiao Chenyan's eyes moved slightly, he nodded and went out.
After he got on his horse, he said to Baisui, "She should go to Taoist Baimei's place and take a few people with her to keep an eye on her from a distance."
Baisui exclaimed and accepted the order, but he was wondering in his heart, what happened to the prince and the princess?
By the way, does the princess need someone else to take care of her?
Once she gets angry, she can send people to reincarnation.
The shanty alley was full of refugees. The refugees roaming around outside the county city had just been pacified, and these refugees in the city had not yet been repatriated to their homeland.
After the insect infestation, their farmland was destroyed. Even if they returned to their own village, they had no way to make a living. It was better for them to stay in the city and wait for relief food.
Others had been bitten by locusts. Although the locust eggs and larvae in their bodies had died, their foundation had been damaged, making it difficult for them to travel long distances.
Baimei and the little fox have been very busy recently, and Qingwu hasn't seen him for a few days.
The old man and the fox have been living temporarily in a two-story building outside the alley of the shed recently. When they saw Qing Wu'er coming, Baimei was quite surprised.
"How come Princess Xiaoer has time to come here?"
While Baimei was speaking, he glanced behind Qingwu, and saw a wasp holding a paper umbrella in the house.
He heard that Qing Wu solved the insect problem and brought a "female ghost sister" back to Nanling Palace. It was the first time he saw a wasp that day.
"Come and have a look when you have time." Qing Wu smiled when she saw him, "Not bad, you are a man of virtue."
Baimei scratched his head in annoyance. The little fox beside him raised his tail proudly: "Fox, I also have many virtues~ I feel like I need to grow another tail~"
The wasp couldn't help laughing: "This little fox seems to be lucky. After a few more years of cultivation, he will be able to transform, right?"
"Thank you for your kindness, sister." The little fox was very good at acting weird, and he made the wasp giggle again.
Bai Mei couldn't help but sigh: "My cultivation was abolished in the beginning, and it was all thanks to the princess's kindness that allowed me to be a mountain temple priest. Now my cultivation has been restored to almost everything, and I also have this virtue. I feel ashamed to receive it."
"When your cultivation was abolished, it was karma. If you have gained this virtue, it is what you deserve."
Qing Wu said in a normal tone: "Let's talk about deeds, not heart. You have both deeds and heart. What can't this virtue bear?"
Baimei was embarrassed, but he couldn't help laughing.
"My dear Princess, I'm here just now. I just happened to encounter a strange thing yesterday. I don't know how to solve it. Can you give me some advice?"
Qing Wutian just came out to avoid Tao Xi, and it was nothing to take the opportunity to put his eyes on it, so he nodded in agreement.
Baimei quickly sent someone to call the person in charge, and then told Qingwu what happened.
The woman in question was Liu Chen, the wife of the richest man in Nanling.
During the insect plague in Nanling, many wealthy merchants fled with their families early, but the Liu family stayed behind, contributed manpower and manpower, and even opened their granaries to provide relief to the victims, helping Nanling to overcome the difficulties.
"Liu Jiaqi also came to Shanwu Lane in person a few days ago. I have seen him before. He is a man who does many good deeds and has great virtue and blessings."
"But yesterday, Liu's mother sent someone to invite the Taoist priest to come to her house, saying that she suspected that her son was impersonated by someone else."
Qing Wu also became interested after hearing this.
"Pretending? Have you gone to see it?"
Baimei nodded and shook his head: "I couldn't get away yesterday, so I asked Huo Huo to take a look. It's small, so it can hide in the dark and observe without attracting attention."
The little fox said, "I secretly observed Liu Jiaqi for a day. He looked no different from usual, except...he was a little weird. He ate and slept all day."
Although Baimei has recovered his cultivation, his eyesight may not be as good as the little fox's.
The little fox couldn't see any clues, but he felt that this person was a little abnormal, and it seemed that there was really something wrong with him.
However, Qing Wu always felt that she was the same as him, 'all I do is eat and sleep'.
Seeing is believing, so she took out the jade token and checked the death register. It turned out that this Liu Jiazi was truly blessed with great fortune. He lived to be a hundred years old, and there were no hardships or disasters in the second half of his life.
His wife is also a kind-hearted person, and the couple has a deep affection and they are expected to grow old together.
After waiting for a while, the Liu family came. It was the personal maid of the Liu family's grandmother who came hurriedly.
The maidservant was very nervous, "Master, my mother-in-law can't come, she asked you to go and see her quickly, my master suddenly wants to move his family away from Nanling, and my wife is trying to stop him."
It is not a big deal for the Liu family to move out of Nanling at this time!
Baimei couldn't sit still anymore and looked at Qingwu.
Qing Wu nodded, and the others followed the maid to Liu's house without any delay.
The Liu family's house is located in the west of the city, and covers a large area. Qing Wu took a look and felt that the Liu family's house was blessed with long-lasting fortune and surrounded by refreshing air. It was indeed a family that accumulated virtue and did good deeds.
However, there was a trace of turbid air mixed in with the clear air. The turbid air was so weak that it was difficult to capture. Even Qing Wu had to look carefully to discover it.
No wonder the little fox didn’t see it.
The group entered through the back door.
At this moment, Prince Liu and Madam Liu were both in the inner courtyard, with Madam Liu's personal maid leading the way, and others did not dare to ask any questions.
Before entering the yard, Qing Wu heard a crisp "pop" sound, followed by a woman's sobbing and a man's cursing.
"How dare you, an ignorant woman, point fingers!"
"When will it be your turn to be the head of this family? This is my Liu's family. This is a poor and remote place in Nanling. I want to move to the capital to enjoy a better life with my whole family. If you dare to stop me again, believe it or not, I will divorce you!"
Qing Wu stepped out of the door and saw the middle-aged man in the yard who looked like a fighting cock. Her beautiful eyes narrowed and she gave the order: "Huang Mi'er."
Huang Mier is the real name of Huang Feng.
Huang Feng pursed her lips and smiled, then floated over while spinning her paper umbrella. Her long skirt dragged on the ground and her feet could not be seen, so if you didn't look closely you wouldn't be able to tell that she was floating. At most, her movement seemed a little strange.
Liu Jia's father was also stunned when he saw a group of strangers, and then he became furious: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Liu Mansion... Ouch!"
A silver needle flew out of the wasp's hand and stabbed directly into the hand of Mr. Liu. He screamed and knelt on the ground, sweating all over in pain.
"What are you still standing there for? The guards! Where are the guards?"
Liu Jiaqi screamed, and the guard next to him came to his senses. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Bai Mei shouting, "Princess Yan, who dares to do this?"
Everyone was shocked, only Liu Jiaqi was still screaming, his face was horrified in pain: "What Princess Yan! Even if Princess Nanling came, it would be useless! You are a bunch of good-for-nothings, eating my Liu family's food, and you dare not listen to my orders!!"
Everyone hesitated. Liu Jiaxun's mother was also helped up at this moment. She hurriedly saluted Qing Wu. When her eyes fell on Liu Jiaxun, there was hesitation and resentment in her eyes.
Qing Wu raised her hand to signal Liu Jia's mother to stand up, her eyes fell on Liu Jia's mother, and said with interest:
"Liu Jiayu is a kind and generous person with great blessings. If it is really him, this princess should treat him with courtesy."
"But you are just a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest. Who gave you the courage to show off here?"
Liu Jia's face suddenly changed and he was sweating profusely.
How did this woman know that he was not the real Liu Jia? !
