Ni Yueshan looked at him in surprise. "You...got up so early just to prepare breakfast for me? You didn't go anywhere else?"
Jing Yuchen nodded, with a look of relief on his face. Ni Yueshan chuckled, "Okay then, wait for me. I'll get dressed and wash up right away."
In the inn, other tenants were also having breakfast. Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen sat at the dining table, eating breakfast slowly like other tenants.
I could only hear them talking among themselves, "These days, only people are allowed in, but not allowed out! Obviously, something big has happened in the Imperial City!"
"I heard that Princess Xianchang and the Crown Prince have come to our Tufan, but who has heard of any progress now?"
"Could it be that the marriage didn't go through, and something terrible happened? Have you heard any rumors?"
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen ate their meal in silence, but the topics discussed by those people undoubtedly attracted their attention...
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen, but Jing Yuchen seemed not to hear her. He continued to lower his head and eat porridge silently.
"Allowing people to enter obviously means they want to let suspicious people into the city without giving them a chance to escape, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Ni Yueshan also listened silently and learned from Jing Yuchen, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"But the population of this imperial city is increasing. There will definitely be trouble. What if some soldiers with ill intentions disguise themselves as Tufan citizens and sneak into the imperial city? Wouldn't that endanger the entire imperial city?"
"Everything has its pros and cons! Stop thinking about it!"
After Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen finished their meal, they each went upstairs. In their room, Jing Yuchen spoke seriously, "You said you sent people to Tufan before, stationed them in the imperial city, to look for Gou Qiong and Le Cheng?"
"Yes! At the beginning, I knew that something might have happened to them, but I didn't know what exactly happened, so I was worried and felt that it would be safest to send someone to help them. They arrived at the Imperial City before us, so they might know their whereabouts!"
Jing Yuchen nodded, his expression solemn.
Ni Yueshan frowned and said, "I'll find a way to contact them. Don't go out and look for people everywhere. Although those people are irrelevant, bystanders can see things more clearly. Perhaps King Tufan is just thinking of letting us in easily and then catching us all in one fell swoop!"
Jing Yuchen sat down at the table, silent.
Ni Yueshan took out a golden hairpin from the bundle and inserted it into her disguised gray hair bun. The hairpin emitted a faint golden light, and its style was unique and beautiful.
Jing Yuchen looked at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Ni Yueshan turned around and looked at him, "This is a secret code. I just need to find the most famous and upscale gold building in the imperial city! I just need to stand at the door, and someone will naturally come to contact me!"
Jing Yuchen suddenly realized something and followed Ni Yueshan out.
Both of them were dressed like old men. Jing Yuchen even walked on the street with a cane. He coughed from time to time. As an old man, he was dressed very similarly.
Ni Yueshan occasionally supported him from the side: "Come to the side of the road, don't you see those patrolling soldiers? If you bump into them, be careful they'll break your old bones!"
Jing Yuchen coughed and moved closer to Ni Yueshan, acting like a loving couple.
When they arrived outside the most famous Golden Tower in the imperial city, Ni Yueshan seemed unable to walk anymore and sat down on the steps next to the Golden Tower. Jing Yuchen was an old man with a cane, so he naturally couldn't stand for too long and sat down on the steps as well.
The clerk in the gold shop looked at the two men. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, but the gold hairpin in Ni Yueshan's hair showed that they had a certain level of spending power. He walked over and said, "Two elderly people, why don't you come into our store and take a look at our latest jewelry?"
However, Ni Yueshan shook his head and said, "We don't have any money, we don't want it!"
The waiter looked at Ni Yueshan strangely: "Don't you have a golden hairpin on your head?"
"What do you know? This is our family's ancestral heritage! Why not wear it?"
The guy was even more puzzled: "It's a hairpin passed down from my ancestors, and it's still so new?"
