Chapter 341 Big Misunderstanding
Xiao Changheng held the bowl and stared at the black liquid for a long time.
I don't want to admit it, but... you can tell at a glance that the food came from her.
For this thing, it doesn't make any difference whether it's hot or not, right?
He put down the bowl, thought it would be better to wait a while, turned away from the table and sat back on the bed.
It can be cooled down to make it less stimulating to the taste buds. Hmm, that makes sense...
…But she did this herself, didn’t she?
...and even sent someone to deliver it to me from afar.
...The one sent was still the Ghost King.
...He must be afraid that if he sends it too late, it will get cold.
Xiao Changheng stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, strode to the table, picked up the bowl, closed his eyes, held his breath, raised his head and drank what was inside.
As soon as he put down the bowl with a clang, he saw a cold wind suddenly rising from the corner.
Xiao Changheng was stunned, and his face, which had been wrinkled because of the indescribable taste in his mouth, immediately returned to expressionless.
"...Didn't you leave?" a certain prince asked calmly.
"...I just remembered that the lunch box and bowl need to be sent back." The voice was also very light.
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew over, and the food box and empty bowl disappeared completely.
"Excuse me, goodbye."
The room temperature returned to normal.
Xiao Changheng stood there silently and counted for a full fifty. Seeing that there was no movement, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and gulped down five or six cups of tea. Only then did his expression relax a little.
No sleepiness at all.
He walked to the window, opened it and looked at the moonlight for a while, then suddenly chuckled softly and called Nan Zheng.
"Get some paper and pen."
Nan Zheng prepared paper and pen. Xiao Changheng cut a small piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote a letter in tiny characters, rolled it into a small tube, sealed it, and handed it to Nan Zheng.
"Send a pigeon to the princess, go quickly."
Nan Zheng was stunned and confirmed:
"Your Majesty, this letter... is it really meant to be sent to the princess?"
The prince used to write letters to the princess every day, but he never sent them.
Xiao Changheng glanced at him indifferently.
Nanzheng was shocked:
"I understand. I'll go right away."
…
On the road to the underworld, the little ghost who had been chasing them all the way saw the king walking towards them with a food box in his hand and a relaxed expression, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that the king has brought the things back. Fortunately, that mortal hasn't eaten the porridge yet..."
"Who said that? He drank it." Tang Yue curled his lips.
The little ghost was startled:
"Ah? Then he..."
"It seems this guy has similar tastes to ours. He seems to be enjoying the drink and drank it all in one gulp."
"Hiss...really?" The little ghost looked incredulous.
Tang Yue recalled what he saw when he rushed back and nodded with satisfaction.
The mission assigned by the master must not go wrong. Fortunately, this mission was done well, and I can go back and report with peace of mind.
By the way, I didn’t expect that person also likes Youmingzui’s food, what a taste!
You are truly worthy of being the husband chosen by the Master!
A certain woman far away in the imperial capital had no idea that her preparation of this bowl of porridge had caused the subordinates of the underworld to have a strange misunderstanding about the taste of a certain prince.
The second day.
Yun Qingqing received a letter sent by carrier pigeon from far away Yujing.
It reads, "I am deeply comforted by the care and concern of my virtuous wife. I am eager to return home." The signature is "Heng".
The corners of her lips curved up, revealing a smile that she herself was not aware of.
…
…
Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, good news!"
Xiao Zirui's expression brightened:
"Have you found someone who can enter the Tianming Pavilion?"
"Exactly!"
"Very good!"
Xiao Zirui initially sent his own men to search for Tianming Pavilion, but discovered that the location of Tianming Pavilion was not a secret at all.
However, all the men tried, and just like the countless people wandering aimlessly outside, no one could see the legendary door.
Later, he thought of a way. He secretly sent people to hire people to look for him. As long as one of these people could enter the Tianming Pavilion, he would let him bring his people to meet the Pavilion Master.
Originally, he was thinking of going there himself, but after the last lesson, he no longer dared to act rashly.
However, with his status as the crown prince, as long as he could meet the Pavilion Master, inviting him to his house would be a matter of a word.
However, after soliciting from the public for more than half a month, no one was found who could enter the Tianming Pavilion.
What upset him even more was that his subordinates reported that many people disappeared from that place for a while and then reappeared every day. It was obvious that they had already been there.
The problem is that before they go in, they can't tell who can enter just by looking at their appearance.
Once the people went in, they could no longer see the gate, so it was useless to look for it.
The people in the Prince's Mansion spent a lot of money to hire people to try, before they figured it out. In the end, it was the Pavilion Master's claim that "only those with destiny can enter", but no one could figure out what this "destiny" was, it all depended on luck.
Xiao Zirui felt distressed about all the money he had spent over the past few days. How could he not be annoyed?
Fortunately, there is finally some progress.
"Where is the person? Why don't you bring him to see me?" Xiao Zirui was both excited and impatient.
The confidant whispered:
"Your Highness, please be patient. This person is not a commoner. We discovered him from the files of the government office by paying some money. Therefore, we did not contact him rashly and are waiting for the decision of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh?" Xiao Zirui was stunned. "Someone from the government?"
"That's right." The confidant handed over a document. "This man's surname is Yan. He was originally a small constable in the county government, but has now been transferred to the Six Gates as the head constable..."
"Master Qingyun was first widely known for catching the real culprit in the flower-stomping murder case. That case was handled by Captain Yan."
Xiao Zirui nodded thoughtfully: "I have an impression of that case... Please continue."
"We noticed this man because we looked for several cases that were well known to have been handled by Master Qingyun. We discovered that in almost every case, this Constable Yan was the one who handled the government's case."
"I see!" Xiao Zirui finally understood. "This man's relationship with Tianming Pavilion is obviously not just about handling cases. He must be acquainted with the Pavilion Master... You did a great job!"
He thought that since this person was acquainted with the Pavilion Master, he naturally could not hire him in the same way as he treated ordinary people who were seeking titles. He should act with caution.
Xiao Zirui pondered for a moment and said:
"Since he works for the court, he must know some people in the officialdom. Check his interpersonal relationships and find suitable candidates to contact."
"You must bring him before me without leaving any trace!"
…
One day, Yun Qingqing had just arrived at Tianming Pavilion and sat down when she heard a commotion on the street.
She frowned. She had said before that people who had received favors would not be allowed to kowtow in the street to express their gratitude. The effect was very significant. No one would disturb others anymore.
But the people who are making trouble outside now are obviously not here to thank Tianming Pavilion.
Yun Qingqing opened the window and looked out.
I saw a tall, thin man with a dark face, holding a talisman and shouting in the street:
"They say that Tianming Pavilion is the most effective. That's a lie! Don't believe them!"
"I drew a talisman here a few days ago. The people in the pavilion said that the talisman had a picture of a mythical beast. I went back and used it as they said, and I almost lost my life!"
"When I came back to settle accounts with them, I couldn't even get through the main gate! It's ridiculous that people still think it's magical. I saw that the Pavilion Master hid the main gate, it's obvious that he's guilty!"
