Chapter 384 Sprouting

Han Lie’s ugly expression eased a little when he heard the word “grand plan”. “Don’t worry, my Lord. I know what’s going on.”

“Everything is going well with Miss Chunyu.”

“Now, the Second Prince has been deceived for a long time and has lost his mind by following Miss Chunyu’s orders.”

“When the Second Prince goes crazy and kills the Crown Prince at the palace banquet, the whole of Daxia will surely fall into chaos.”

“By then, neither of Xia Zhengqi’s two most capable sons will be saved.”

The Lord stroked his chin and curled his lips with satisfaction, as if he was already imagining the chaos in Daxia.

…

The Second Brother’s Prince’s Mansion.

It was time to light the lamps, but the Second Prince still hadn’t returned.

Wu Ya paced back and forth in the courtyard anxiously.

"Miss, please sit down and have some tea. The Second Prince must have been held up by something. He will definitely be back later."

At this time, the servant came back from outside, wiping his sweat.

"How is it? Has the Second Prince returned?" Wu Ya stared at the servant and asked.

"Miss, the Golden Tiger beside the Second Prince just sent a note. Let me give it to you."

The servant said, and took out a folded paper from his arms and handed it to Wu Ya.

Wu Ya hurriedly unfolded it and saw that it said: There was something unexpected in the army, and I need to stay in the barracks to deal with it. I may return to the mansion in a few days, don't worry.

After reading the note, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had relaxed.

...

Three days passed in a flash.

The second prince has been hiding in the study to recuperate, and every day the queen personally stewed nourishing soup for him.

The second prince's complexion and spirit have improved a lot.

Over at the reception hall, although the envoys of Dai Viet were a little dissatisfied with the postponement of the palace banquet, they could not get angry, so they had to let the third prince, Yan Wenjing and his party take them to play in the capital all day.

Xia Miaoyuan resumed her daily life of going to the main hall for classes.

On this day, just after school, she hid in Xiao Wanyin's sedan chair and left the palace.

"Miao'er, let's say hello to our aunt. If you sneak out like this, she will be worried." Xiao Wanyin advised.

Xia Miaoyuan came out from under the chair, tidied her messy hair, and said bluntly: "My mother is so smart. When I disappeared after school, she must have guessed that we were together."

"You don't know, I was bored to death these days. I thought that with the envoy from Dai Viet here, we could take a break and not go to school."

"Who would have thought that my father is so mean. As long as there is no activity, the main hall will have classes as usual."

"You are still the best. Every four days is a day off, and you can go back home."

"You can go to school freely for a few days. You are much better than me!"

Xiao Wanyin looked at Xia Miaoyuan and smiled helplessly.

At this time, their sedan chair had arrived at the most prosperous area of ​​the capital.

It was afternoon, not yet time for lunch, and there were not many people on the street.

"Let's go shopping. There aren't many people here now." Xiao Wanyin looked at the situation on the street and suggested.

"Okay! Okay! I haven't been shopping for a long time!" Xia Miaoyuan responded readily.

The two girls happily strolled around, from jewelry stores to snack stores to grocery stores. They visited one store after another and bought many beautiful and novel gadgets, as well as many newly baked snacks.

The two maids in the Xiao Mansion had their hands full of things.

After strolling around, Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin were both very hungry and could not walk anymore.

"Oh, Miao'er, I can't walk anymore." Xiao Wanyin wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face full of fatigue.

"Then let's go to the barbecue restaurant to eat! Little cousin, I'll treat you, and we'll have a good meal today!"

"Okay!"

After that, the two sisters got on the sedan chair and came to the Royal Barbecue Restaurant.

The shopkeepers and waiters in the palace all recognized Xia Miaoyuan. When they saw that it was Princess Anguo, they immediately vacated the most luxurious private room for them to sit.

Just after sitting down for a while, before the dishes were served, Xia Miaoyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

"Little cousin, wait a minute, I have to go to the toilet."

Then, Xia Miaoyuan took a little maid downstairs.

Soon, Xia Miaoyuan came out of the toilet and her stomach felt much better.

Just as she was walking through the lobby on the first floor and wanted to go upstairs, she suddenly saw a waiter going to the kitchen.

[Strange, why does he look so unfamiliar!]

Because this is the main store, Xia Miaoyuan comes here often, so she is familiar with all the waiters in the store. She can't help but feel strange when a new face suddenly appears.

[Not only is his face unfamiliar, but I always feel that he is a little weird.]

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan turned around and quietly followed the waiter to the back kitchen.

I saw the waiter squatting at the door of the back kitchen and peeling potatoes.

"Hey, why are you standing here, little prince?" The shopkeeper saw Xia Miaoyuan stop and look at the back kitchen, and hurried over to greet him.

"Who is the one peeling potatoes?" Xia Miaoyuan asked.

"Oh, that guy, he's a new helper who came a few days ago. He doesn't know how to do anything, so I asked him to do some odd jobs."

At this time, the potato peeler had finished peeling the potatoes in the basin and took the empty basin to the warehouse to load potatoes.

Xia Miaoyuan took the opportunity to walk to the door of the back kitchen and picked up the basin of peeled potatoes on the ground to check. This one glance really scared her.

"Why are all these potatoes sprouting?!"

I saw that those potatoes, although the skin had been peeled, it was obvious that they still had sprouts on them, because the peeler did not dig out the sprouts, but deliberately kept them.

The shopkeeper stood beside Xia Miaoyuan, with a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what Xia Miaoyuan was talking about.

"Something's wrong!"

As he said that, Xia Miaoyuan raised his legs and broke into the warehouse where the ingredients were stored.

The man peeling potatoes was putting them into his own basin.

"Wait!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted and ran to the potato basket.

The clerk was startled by the shout and almost dropped the basin in his hand.

He turned around and saw the shopkeeper and a little girl, so he lowered his head and stepped aside.

Xia Miaoyuan stood in front of the potato basket and examined it carefully.

He saw that almost all the potatoes in the basket had sprouted. The sprouts were not big, but small and white. It seemed that they had grown in the last few days.

"What's going on?" Xia Miaoyuan picked up a sprouted potato and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was shocked: "What happened? How did the potatoes produce these things? They were fine when they were delivered a few days ago?"

Xia Miaoyuan carefully checked the potato basket again and found that it was damp inside, as if someone had poured water on it.

"Show cabinet, let me ask you, when the person who delivered the potatoes came, did he teach you how to store them?"

The shopkeeper looked confused: "I did teach you, saying that these things are afraid of moisture and need to be kept dry."

Xia Miaoyuan asked again: "Then who is usually in charge here?"
