Ye Chutang also laughed.
"It would be nice if it were that easy."
Xiao Lanxi must have been planning for this move for an unknown period of time. How could she be easily found?
"She should still be in the capital, but trying to find someone here is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
It is impossible for Ye Chutang to mobilize the imperial guards to knock on every door and search.
Xun Cheng became interested, "Are you so sure?"
Everyone thought that Xiao Lanxi was dead. If she still stayed in the capital, wouldn't it be too dangerous? It would be difficult to explain if someone saw me and recognized me.
"About 80 to 90 percent." Ye Chutang said, "After all, if she leaves the capital, she will have nowhere to go."
Jingpin's clansmen had been wiped out long ago, and she was brought into the palace as a captive. She was supposed to do hard labor, but because she had a beautiful face, she was favored by Emperor Mu Wu, and this changed her fate.
No, to a certain extent, her life did not change. No matter what choice she made, she would end up with the same ending - early death.
"Moreover, she was able to escape so smoothly because she had to have people protecting her inside and outside the palace. Those who helped her behind the scenes probably thought that keeping her by their side was the safest thing."
This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
The person behind her is very thoughtful and resourceful, and of course the same is true for her.
"No one in this world is willing to do a business that loses money. Since the other party helped her at such a high cost, he must find ways to get it back from her."
But now, Ye Chutang couldn't guess what the other party was planning.
Ye Chutang looked calm, "I just think that Shui Xingqiu is a key link. If we can find some clues from him, perhaps the whole mystery will be solved."
Xun Cheng couldn't help but applaud and said with a smile,
"I haven't seen you for a few years. I thought you were living a peaceful life after returning to the capital. I didn't expect that your thunderous methods are even worse than before."
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows, "I just helped you heal your injuries, why are you talking about thunderous means?"
Even if there was, it was of little use to Xun Cheng.
"Besides, who can live in peace now that we are in the capital?" Ye Chutang raised his chin slightly, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his lips, "Even you, isn't it the same?"
Xun Cheng has a mysterious origin, is highly skilled in martial arts, and it is obvious that he either has a grudge or a debt.
He was very familiar with the capital and it was obviously not his first time here.
Xun Cheng picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes slightly, and gently used the tea lid to remove the tea leaves floating on it.
Hearing this, he smiled and looked up.
"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
"Stop."
Ye Chutang immediately refused.
She herself is involved in a lot of lawsuits, so how can she have the time to worry about others?
"I'm a doctor, what can I know?"
Xun Cheng: “…”
He sighed with regret, "I was hoping to ask you for help... I went to Longcheng as soon as I received your letter. Now that I'm in the capital, you've turned your back on me."
Ye Chutang glanced at his legs.
"You can ask me for help, but I won't cure your leg."
Xun Cheng: "...I still want the legs."
That's fine.
Xun Cheng looked at her relaxed expression and couldn't help asking, "Why, the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion doesn't even have this little bit of wealth? You're still so fussy about such a small amount of medical fee."
Ye Chutang took a sip of tea, "Chen Yanchuan's first dose of medicine, one hundred taels."
Xun Cheng: “…”
The dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he even felt a faint sense of joy that he had gotten an advantage.
With the comparison, Xun Cheng's mood instantly became much better.
He nodded and said sincerely,
"Yeah, you have a whole family to support, so you should charge more."
Xun Cheng added, "However, I do know a little information about Shui Xingqiu."
Ye Chutang paused, "Oh?"
Xun Cheng smiled.
"This time, he is very likely to follow the Nanhu royal family and come to Beijing together."
"really!?"
Ye Chutang was stunned.
"How did you know this? Is the information reliable?"
If that were true, she could save a lot of effort and just wait and see in the capital!
"Didn't I just tell you that Shui Xingqiu is Tuoba Yu's master? To some extent, Tuoba Yu's current misfortune is also related to Shui Xingqiu. There is one thing I didn't mention to you before: when Longcheng fell, King Yannan was trapped. In fact, they had poisoned him."
Ye Chutang's eyelids twitched slightly, "What kind of poison?"
When she saw Prince Yan Nan entering the city from afar, she didn't seem to notice anything wrong.
"It's not a serious witchcraft. Tuoba Yu is just afraid of his great martial arts skills and his strong temper. He is afraid that he will voluntarily die in desperate situations. That's why he gave him a cartilage witchcraft, which makes him weak and powerless."
Xun Cheng explained,
"I have personally confirmed before that he was not killed."
Ye Chutang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
If the other party had used more sinister means at the beginning, I am afraid the subsequent series of events would not have gone so smoothly.
"The witchcraft was given to King Yannan by Tuoba Yu. Because of this, he was full of confidence in his plan and lost his guard, so that your fourth brother caught him and caught him in one fell swoop. He suffered such a big loss, and Shui Xingqiu cannot be separated from the responsibility. So this time, he has to come to the capital in person and bring Tuoba Yu back intact."
No matter how high his position and power were, Shui Xingqiu could never surpass the king.
Tuoba Shan loves his only brother so much that even if he doesn't say it explicitly, he will definitely put pressure on Shui Xingqiu secretly.
Shui Xingqiu had to come this time.
"If he were to come, it would be quite a scene."
When Ye Chutang thought of that scene, he immediately found it quite interesting.
It goes without saying that if the Nanhu want to take Tuoba Yu back, they will be severely slaughtered!
Ye Chutang held his chin with one hand, tapped his chin lightly with his slender fingers, and his eyebrows were curved.
"Do you think Xiao Lanxi will come out to welcome the Shui family head who helped her so much? And the person behind her...these two parties should have been in touch a long time ago, right? See you in the capital, I wonder what the situation will be like?"
Ye Chutang suddenly felt his eyes and mind clear, as if a ball of wool that had been difficult to sort out was suddenly completely unraveled, and he could clearly see the direction of each thread.
"If he is willing to help Shui Xingqiu and Tuoba Yu, then it will be even more interesting."
…
The carriage slowly drove away and headed towards Ye Mansion.
Ye Chutang hadn't planned to stay long this time, so he didn't bring Xiaowu with him.
Anyway, now that Lu Yu and the others are secretly protecting her, she can feel a lot more at ease.
Passing by Lin’s Dim Sum Shop, Ye Chutang did not forget to bring a portion of red date chestnut cake for Xiaowu.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
Ye Chutang lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see a carriage parked in the middle of the road, as if it had hit someone.
The driver frowned and shouted,
"How dare you stop our master's carriage? You are so bold! If you delay our master, can you afford it? "
Ye Chutang looked at the familiar carriage and smiled. (End of this chapter)
