Chapter 32: Someone is following
The two of them came all the way to the alley diagonally opposite Baiwei Building.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and looked at the golden signboard, but there were only a few lights at the door.
Not long after the queen's mourning period, although Baiwei Lou was opened, not many people came.
"Green Tao, let's go in."
Before Lu Tao could reply, Wen Qingzhu had already walked out.
She had to keep up quickly.
Seeing someone coming, Xiao Er at the door hurriedly stepped forward.
"Guest officer, please inside."
Wen Qingzhu lowered his voice and said, "Take us to Suzaku Room No. 7." β
The leading Xiao Er was stunned, and asked hesitantly: "Dare to ask this girl, is there a reservation?" β
I knew that Xiao Er would ask this, Wen Qingzhu turned his head sideways.
Green Tao took out a small round token from his sleeve and held it vertically in front of Xiao Er.
Xiao Er fixed his eyes, his expression was suddenly respectful, and he bowed down and asked, "Miss, please inside." β
Follow Xiao Er all the way through, and after several corridors and the middle gate, they are ready to go up to the second floor.
"Miss, look carefully at the stairs." Xiao Er walked up a few stairs and reminded Wen Qingzhu sideways.
Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly, his eyes always looked straight ahead, and his steps were as steady as walking on the ground.
Just halfway through, Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt that someone was peeping.
The feeling of being on her back made her very uncomfortable.
But she can't turn back, in Baiwei Building, she is either rich or expensive.
Now she can't reveal her identity yet.
Finally walked to the second floor, Wen Qingzhu followed behind Xiao Er and entered the Suzaku No. 7 room.
Glancing around the room, it was full of luxury and understatement.
"Go down, something will call you."
Xiao Er stepped back as he was told, and closed the door when he went out.
Wen Qingzhu took off the power, walked to the window, and opened a crack.
Through the gap, there is Changle Lake with a wide field of vision, and several boats are parked on the lake.
Each boat is exquisitely atmospheric, and lanterns of different shapes are embellished on it, adding a bit of hazy beauty to the lonely night.
Among them, a Soviet-style boat leaning against the shore was the closest to them.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the boat motionlessly, speculating in his heart.
If she is Xinhou, what reason does she have to help Wu Shan?
Aunt Wu's elder brother Wu Shan, when the Wu family was in decline, used the power of Xinhou to set up his own door.
In the past two years, it should be an important time for Wu Shan's promotion.
Knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head suddenly, and Green Tao immediately spoke: "Who is it?" β
"The little one brought snacks to the young lady."
This voice was Xiao Er, who had just brought them in.
Green Tao looked at Wen Qingzhu: What should I do?
Wen Qingzhu closed the window, sat back at the table, took the power with him, and then raised his hand.
Only then did Green Tao step forward and open the door.
The little second-hand was holding two plates of pastries and smiling.
"We didn't call for dim sum!" Green Tao frowned, and found that these snacks were somewhat familiar.
Xiao Er explained with a smile: "It was given to you by a son." β
Green Tao grabbed the door frame with both hands, stopped Xiao Er from coming in, and refused: "We don't need to!" β
"But, but that boy said that you must let the villain into your room......" Xiao Er looked embarrassed.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting in the back, had already guessed who it was, so he said loudly: "Take it." β
With the master's order, Green Tao let go of a hand and stretched out: "Give it to me." β
After taking the refreshment, Green Tao closed the door again, and brought the things to the table.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the pea yellow and the donkey rolling in the tray, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
No wonder her feeling was so strong just now, it was him!
Lu Tao stood aside, looked at the pastries on the table, and asked with some doubts: "Are these pastries the same as the ones sent by the Ninth Young Master that day?" β
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu's voice was as cold as ice.
Lu Tao was taken aback: "Isn't the person who sent this thing from the palaceβ"
She stopped before she could finish her sentence.
After being silent for a moment, Wen Qingzhu said leisurely: "You guessed right, the person who sent this to me is the fifth prince Jiang Yuancheng." β
After being verified, Green Tao covered his mouth in shock.
How did her young lady meet the five princes?
Wen Qingzhu didn't explain much.
It's just that the current Jiang Yuancheng is walking on thin ice in the palace and has no rights at all.
What can show that he is different is these insignificant snacks to eat.
Wen Qingzhu got up and went back to the window and looked at the boat.
Xin Hou's original name was Xin Chang.
This person is treacherous and sleek, and he won the favor of King Shou by special means.
Five years ago, when Concubine Li had not yet died of illness, King Shou begged for a marquis for Xin Chang.
Because it was King Shou's request in every way, the emperor casually sealed a Marquis of Xin.
Although this title is just a name, he Xin Chang took advantage of this title to step on the throne of King Shou and became a gluttonous minister in front of the emperor.
The Soviet-style boat in front of him is the unique boat of Xinhou.
Half an hour later, someone from the boat staggered out.
Wen Qingzhu fixed his eyes and saw that the person was Xin Hou.
Beside Xin Hou, there was a person who bowed his head to help him and prevent him from falling.
After another quarter of an hour, Xin Hou and the man entered the boat.
Wen Qingzhu still didn't see who that person was.
With a sigh, she closed the window and turned around, put on the power bully, and ordered, "Let's go back, come back next time." β
The two called Xiao Er, paid the money, and turned around and went downstairs.
Wen Qingzhu had just walked down the stairs when she suddenly noticed someone watching her from the opposite floor.
When I looked up, it was Jiang Yuancheng who was standing by the railing.
He looked at this side from afar, frowning and examining Wen Qingzhu, guessing who she was.
Separated by Mi Li, Jiang Yuancheng couldn't see the characteristics of the woman in front of him at all.
But in a short moment, Wen Qingzhu's hatred poured out.
With her hands clenched and her silver teeth clenched, she managed to restrain herself.
The revenge of her previous life, she will definitely take revenge!
Without any nostalgia, Wen Qingzhu turned around and left.
A quarter of an hour later, they finally walked out of the Baiwei Building.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to go back directly, but she suddenly stood upside down.
Years of vigilance led her to immediately suspect that someone was secretly following them.
"Green Tao, you come with me." Wen Qingzhu sank his heart, they had to shake off the flies behind them.
The two changed direction and began to walk around the alley.
However, the people who follow them are not simple.
After circling for more than half an hour, the flies behind him are still shadowing.
A cold sweat was already breaking out on Green Tao's forehead, because she also felt that someone was following them.
She really wanted to ask Wen Qingzhu what to do.
But Wen Qingzhu walked faster and faster, and the green pottery was completely unhappy.
Therefore, she can only follow Wen Qingzhu with all her attention to ensure that she will not fall behind.
After another quarter of an hour, the two of them were about to reach their limits.
Just as she was hesitating whether to use the poison, someone suddenly appeared beside her and stretched out her hand.
She was instantly pulled into the dark alley.
Wen Qingzhu's conditioned wrist turned, and the poison hidden in his sleeve was thrown out.
The tip of the nose suddenly smelled a familiar smell.
She hurriedly withdrew her hand, but the powder still scattered a little.
"Miss Seven, offended!"
It's Fu Lie!
Fu Lie apologized first, and then quickly raised his hand to wrap his arms around her waist.
With their toes on the ground and a few steps in the air, they stood on the eaves.
Fu Lie, who was holding her, then turned a corner and began to fly the eaves and walk the wall.
The sound of the wind kept ringing in Wen Qingzhu's ears, and his body rose and fell sharply.
In order to maintain her balance, she took the initiative to reach out and hug Fu Lie's waist.
When the palm of his hand touched his lower back, his body stiffened visibly.
The strange emotions in Wen Qingzhu's heart resurfaced.
Two quarters of an hour later, they landed under a remote roof.
When Fu Lie landed, his steps were unsteady, but he still quickly let go of his hand.
Wen Qingzhu had just stood firm, only to see Fu Lie covering his abdomen, kneeling on one knee, cold sweat on his forehead.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you! Wen Qingzhu hurriedly took out the antidote from his body, squatted down and handed it over.
After eating the antidote, the toxicity on Fu Lie's body quickly dissipated.
Standing up slowly, he looked at Wen Qingzhu in front of him, his face was still a little pale: "If you want to go out at night in the future, let Mother Ye tell me, and I will pick you up." β
Hearing his words, Wen Qingzhu's heart warmed, and his eyes suddenly moistened.
He was still the same as before, not asking anything, not saying anything, only worried about her safety.
"I'm sorry!" Wen Qingzhu's voice choked, and tears rolled down his eyes uncontrollably.
Fu Lie saw her crying, and panicked all of a sudden.
Raising his hand and lowering it, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
After crying for a while, Wen Qingzhu took off the power gourd.
Under the moonlight, Wen Qingzhu's little face, pear blossoms with rain, just crashed into Fu Lie's eyes and went straight to the bottom of his heart.
The two men stared at each other.
For a long time, no one spoke first.
Until someone jumped off the eaves next to him.
"Master! The subordinates successfully brought back the green pottery girl! β
It was Dongzi, the person who had followed Fu Lie's side before, who spoke.
Green Tao pushed him away, hurriedly ran to Wen Qingzhu, and checked it from head to toe.
Until he found that there were tears on Wen Qingzhu's face, the green pottery instantly went wild.
She wiped the tears that had not dried from her eyes, turned her head and yelled at Fu Lie: "What did you do to my young lady!" How she cried! β
Fu Lie always looked at Wen Qingzhu and opened his mouth, really not knowing how to explain.
"Green Tao, I'm fine." Wen Qingzhu stepped forward and took Lu Tao's hand.
"What's all right? The slaves and maids are scared to death! "Green Tao has never encountered this kind of thing, and it is not easy to maintain his composure now.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Wen Qingzhu gently hugged her and let her sobble on her shoulder.
When Lu Tao's mood stabilized, Wen Qingzhu turned around and thanked him: "Master Fu, Qingzhu owes you a favor." β
Fu Lie hurriedly waved his hand: "Miss Seven is polite!" It's a favor owed to the young lady in the next place! I should have saved you today. β
Wen Qingzhu knew his temperament and didn't say more, but this kindness must be kept in mind.
Then, Fu Lie's master and servant quietly sent Wen Qingzhu's master and servant to the small courtyard in the northwest corner of the Wen family.
After thanking Fu Lie again, Wen Qingzhu returned to Yanyuan with the green pottery.
Tonight's Yan Yuan was exceptionally quiet, and no one seemed to notice them.
After returning to the East Courtyard.
Jasmine hurriedly greeted her, cried with joy, and said hurriedly: "Miss! You're finally back! Aunt Wu and Miss Four came here just now! β
