Chapter 134: A more serious crime?
Is it true that anyone can be the eldest princess's lover?
Now the eldest princess doesn't even want to open her eyes to look at him.
The three words "servant under the skirt" were simply ironic to him.
Chen Qiu Nian slowly turned his head and said, "What's wrong with you now? Didn't I just tell you not to criticize the Princess behind her back? Why do you keep talking endlessly? There are so many people here, and you really don't worry that others will hear you and make your crime even worse?"
A more serious crime?
Lin Miaomiao sneered, "Now that you can use these four words on me, it seems that in your eyes, I have long been an out-and-out sinner."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu Nian's brows furrowed deeply. "It's been a long time since the Emperor summoned me to the palace. His Majesty's decree cannot be delayed. You've said too much today."
"I know you think I'm dirty and have wanted to cut off ties with me for a long time." Lin Miaomiao sneered, "She's still the same, changing men one after another. The one following her today must be her new favorite."
"It's simply unreasonable." Shen Qiunian's eyes were gloomy. "How can it be the same?"
Every man around the eldest princess is sincere to her and every one of them is a rare talent.
Although the eldest princess now loves beautiful women, ordinary beauties are not in her eyes.
Even he...the eldest princess didn't want to look at him for a second time.
Lin Miaomiao's fingertips trembled, and her face turned pale as paper as Chen Qiu Nian said, "How can it be the same?"
She wanted to say something else.
Only after hearing Shen Qiu Nian's resolute words.
She lost all her strength and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
When he said that she was dirty, he didn't refute it, which meant he agreed?
Lin Miaomiao laughed and tears fell like beads.
The waiter who passed by while serving food helped her up and said, "Miss, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Let me help you get some rest."
Lin Miaomiao waved her hands weakly. He was about to say no, but then he seemed to think of something and turned to look at the No. 1 private room. "Did you serve all the dishes in that room?"
The waiter turned in the direction she was looking, and although he didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, he nodded slowly.
For a while.
He brought another bowl of soup from the kitchen and went upstairs. When he reached the stairs, he tremblingly took out the packet of medicine that Lin Miaomiao had given him from his arms.
He muttered to the tray in his hands.
"Girl, it's not me who wants to harm you, it's someone who wants to harm you."
"If anything happens to you after drinking this bowl of soup, please don't blame me."
"I was also forced to do this. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. You..."
Before he could finish his rambling, a man with a cold face came towards him.
The man looked at his sneaky appearance and stopped suddenly.
"What are you doing here?"
The waiter shuddered with fear. "Sir, I... I... I didn't do anything. Have you... have you finished your meal?"
As he spoke, he carefully stuffed the packet of medicine in his hand into his sleeve.
The man's eyes darkened, "What are you hiding?"
The moment the voice fell, the waiter's wrist was grabbed by the man.
The man's strength was so great that he gasped in pain, his features twisted together. "I just added something to the soup to enhance its flavor. We all add it in our restaurant. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This matter has nothing to do with you. There are some people you cannot afford to offend!"
"Oh?" the man drawled, chuckling with interest. "Minding your own business?"
At this moment, a sturdy man followed behind the man and held the waiter down with his backhand. "You are just a waiter, how dare you! Do you know this is the prefect of Shengjing, Lord Wen Yi? You are hiding here and doing these dirty things, and the prefect can't do anything about it?"
Sheng... Shengjing Prefecture Governor?
I heard that the former prefect of Shengjing was thrown into prison and dismissed from his official position because he offended the eldest princess.
The newly appointed prefect was personally selected and appointed by the emperor, who said that he would suppress the unhealthy tendencies in Shengjing City.
This prefect must be impartial, upright, fair and selfless.
The waiter struggled for only a second before he fell to his knees.
"Please spare my life, Lord Prefect. A young lady wearing a hood just gave me this packet of medicine. She told me to put it in the No. 1 soup and she would give me a silver ingot as a reward. Otherwise, she would make me disappear from Shengjing City."
Wen Yi sneered, "What kind of young lady is this? You dare to use such dirty and filthy means and speak so rudely."
The waiter was so frightened that he was shaking all over. "Sir... Sir, I really don't know who this young lady is. But the man who just came with her looked very impressive. He must be a high-ranking official in Shengjing."
High official?
Wen Yi chuckled, but only for a brief second before his face suddenly darkened.
"Your Majesty is wise. Princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as common people. No matter how high an official is, you cannot put drugs in someone's food. Who knows if this is some kind of poison that will kill anyone who touches it."
The waiter turned pale with fear. "Sir, that girl said...she said it wasn't poison and she definitely wouldn't eat someone who had died."
Right at this moment.
Pearl came out of the No. 1 private room. She originally wanted to come down to urge the last dish of soup to be served, as the princess was almost full.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
She stared at Wen Yi's profile, which looked somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly remembered that this was the newly appointed prefect she saw in Xuanzheng Hall when she and the princess entered the palace that day.
At that time, the princess commented a lot on his name.
plague.
For Wen Yi.
Zhenzhu bowed and said, "This servant greets Master Wen."
Slave?
Wen Yi glanced at Zhenzhu, confirming that he didn't know her. He asked thoughtfully, "Do you know me?"
Pearl said politely, "My young lady met you last time. I won't delay you from investigating. I'll go and get the last bowl of soup. Your young lady is still waiting in the private room."
Soup?
Wen Yi's eyes swept over the bowl of soup in the waiter's hand, his brows furrowed, "Miss... is she dining in the Emperor's No. 1 private room?"
Pearl's eyes widened in shock. "How did the prefect know this? Our young lady hasn't made it public yet."
Wen Yi glanced at the soup in the waiter's hand and said, "First, take this man back to Shengjing Prefecture. I will personally interrogate him when I return. Take the shopkeeper back with me as well. Zuichunlou will be shut down for rectification."
"My lord, my lord...I have been wrongly accused. Please forgive me, my lord."
The waiter's cries echoed throughout Zuichunlou.
Wen Yi watched the person being led out before turning to Zhenzhu and saying, "Aunt, please lead the way. I'm going to pay my respects to the Princess..."
