Chapter 36 - Eight Days to Come
When the emperor left the East Palace, Chen Su came up with a bitter haha, and lowered his voice to pray, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of ideas, if you really want to go out, your subordinates are afraid that they won't be able to stop you." ”
"If you can't stop it, you can't stop it."
Chen Su was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the emperor say again: "If you find out that the prince is out of the palace, you will come to me as soon as possible." ”
"Yes."
Respectfully responded, and after sending the emperor away, Chen Su took away the two guards guarding the door of the prince's bedroom under Zhao Shicheng's sneering gaze.
When the two guards followed Chen Su back again, there was no more Zhao Shicheng in the house.
The two looked at each other, Chen Su pretended to enter the room to check, and after seeing a letter on the table, he immediately rushed to the imperial study.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left, and this is a letter found in His Royal Highness the Prince's house."
The eunuch beside the emperor took the letter from Chen Su's hand and presented it to the emperor, the emperor opened it and looked at it for a while, and laughed slowly for a long time, "Cheng'er left and left, don't make a noise, Chen Su, you take people to the East Palace." ”
After speaking, the emperor waved his hand, and Chen Su retreated.
"Let the people below pay more attention, Cheng'er is the prince of a country in the end, and his status is precious, and there is no room for loss."
"Yes."
The voice came from the shadow of the imperial study, and a black shadow flashed out of the imperial study, but in a moment, several black shadows came out of the palace, followed Zhao Shicheng, and entered the restaurant.
Zhao Shicheng lowered his eyes and paused.
"Yo! You're finally here, guest officer! Miss Xu has been waiting for you for a long time! ”
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Zhao Shicheng appear, he hurriedly greeted him with enthusiasm.
Zhao Shicheng raised his eyebrows, looked at the empty store, and asked with a smile, "What?" Can't beat it? ”
The shopkeeper smiled stupidly, and Zhao Shicheng stepped up to the second floor and heard movement.
"I've got you here with money! You wait for me to wait for someone, such a simple matter, come and ask again in a while, are you bothered? ”
The outrageous words came into his ears, but the corners of Zhao Shicheng's mouth rose uncontrollably.
"It's annoying!"
couldn't help but answer, Xu Tingyu immediately went out of the door of the private room, and saw Zhao Shicheng angrily scolding, "You came so late, I waited for you until now, I didn't say that you were annoying, you still have the face to say that I am annoying?" ”
"Well, my bad."
Zhao Shicheng smiled lightly and glanced at Xu Tingyu's back, "What about the flowers?" ”
Xu Tingyu pulled Zhao Shicheng out of the restaurant, and told him about the flower thief as he walked.
"I'll just say those tricks you got aren't reliable, right?"
"Didn't you get those three darts and shoot them? It's still on my wall! Xu Tingyu complained.
"You're useless? That's right, I'm going to take it off for you today. "Zhao Shicheng is serious.
Xu listened to the rain and turned his head to look at Zhao Shicheng and roared, "I'm useless? ”
After yelling, without waiting for Zhao Shicheng to speak, Xu Tingyu looked Zhao Shicheng up and down, and opened his mouth suspiciously.
"Why did you go today? Not going back to the palace? ”
"No, let's sleep with you today! Tomorrow is just the time to ask the flower to find out what has been found, catch the flower thief, I am still the first time! ”
Zhao Shichen squinted and smiled.
The secret guards who followed behind him on the emperor's orders looked at each other, and only when they saw Zhao Shicheng staying in the home remedies of Xu Tingyu Tingyu Building, did they put their hearts down and went back to the palace to pay their respects.
On the second day, the two got up, and it was not early, packed up their things and rushed straight to the restaurant on weekdays, Hua Xun was already waiting in the private room, leaning against the window at the moment, looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, I don't know what I was thinking.
"Hana-Xun! Did you find anything yesterday? ”
Xu Tingyu touched a piece of pastry from the table and took a bite.
Hua Xun came back to her senses, and her face returned to her previous frivolous smile, looking at Xu Tingyu's movements, she shook her head helplessly, "Didn't you use breakfast again?" Can't you get up earlier? ”
"I think about it early, too! Isn't the point that someone is dragging their feet? God knows how long I waited yesterday! ”
Xu Tingyu finished eating the pastry in his mouth and just opened his mouth to complain, Zhao Shicheng casually snatched the pastry from Xu Tingyu's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, shrugging his shoulders in Hua Xun's gaze.
"Without me, she wouldn't have gotten up early, have you found a clue?"
"Nope."
Speaking of this, Hua Xun's eyebrows were filled with a haze.
"That'...... Let's go investigate and investigate, this flower thief has also succeeded a lot. ”
Zhao Shicheng proposed that the three of them embark on the trip.
However, as soon as I followed the instructions of the people to the first house and asked the flower thief, there was a bang, and the door was closed.
Xu Tingyu touched his nose, glad that his nose was not strong.
"The woman's reputation is bigger than the sky, do you think everyone is as arrogant as you, as long as the flower thief is handsome enough, he will have no face and no skin?" Zhao Shicheng scoffed on the side.
Xu Tingyu rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked at Hua Xun who was thoughtful on the side, "What's wrong?" Did you find something at the door? ”
"One thing, have you noticed? The young lady of this family surnamed Li had an accident on the evening of the 13th, and the young lady of the Zhao family had an accident on the evening of the 23rd, and the other young lady of the Wang family had an accident on the evening of the 3rd......"
Zhao Shicheng's eyes flashed slightly, "You mean, the flower thief picks someone every ten days?" ”
Hua Xun nodded, and Xu Tingyu answered, "Then as long as we go to the yamen and ask, when was the last case of the flower thief done, wouldn't it be considered as getting a clue?" ”
The three of them hurried to the yamen again, Hua Xun sat down in a teahouse near the yamen, and Xu Tingyu took out the silver at the door of the yamen and handed it to the two guards guarding the door.
"The two big brothers have worked hard! This is not much silver, it can be regarded as buying wine for the two eldest brothers! ”
The two glanced at Yinzi, didn't move, only glanced at each other, and then looked at Xu Tingyu and Zhao Shicheng, and one lowered his voice and spoke, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu Tingyu still maintained the posture of handing over the silver, and immediately answered when he heard the words, "It's nothing, I'm just here to ask about the flower thief, after all, I'm just a girl in my family." ”
The eyes of the two flashed, and they put the silver in their arms, "If there is anything to ask, ask!" ”
"Is the flower thief gone? I don't seem to have heard of a crime in the past two days? ”
Xu Tingyu lowered his voice, full of curiosity.
"Gone? Not necessarily! Although it has been eleven days since Miss Zhang's accident last happened, it is better to be careful. ”
Xu Tingyu nodded again and again, and after politely greeting Zhao Shicheng, the two rushed to the teahouse where Hua Xun was hiding and told him about the situation.
Hua Xun frowned, "Eleventh ......"
"Yes! The flower thief went to me the night before yesterday and didn't succeed, otherwise it would have been the 10th day. ”
After Xu Tingyu finished speaking, he looked at the two of them who were contemplative, "I went to today, there are still eight days, aren't we ready to prepare?" ”
"Prepare what? Do you have an idea? ”
Zhao Shicheng approached Xu Tingyu and asked curiously.
Xu Tingyu hooked his lips, "I heard that every time the female dependents of the officials' families were demoted to the dust, were they all sent to Yihong Mansion?" Isn't it claimed that there are three girls who have descended from heaven this time? ”
