Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Next Goal
"Actually, there are still a lot of mysteries that haven't been solved, right? No matter how good the third lady's skills are, she is just a woman, how can she stir up the overall situation with her alone? The old man thought, did Chu Gongzi find out something, but for some purpose, he refused to say it? Old Madam Mei looked at Chu Yunfei with a smile and asked.
At present, Mei Xiang Xiaozhu has regained her former calm, the only difference is that Mei Yingxue is still in bed to recuperate, and there is no need to be by Mrs. Mei's side. Chu Yunfei stilted Erlang's legs and leisurely sipped tea. Hearing Mrs. Mei ask this, he smiled and asked, "I should ask the old lady such a question, right?" There must be some forces behind the third lady of the Li family, but before finding out the real instructions behind the scenes, the old lady should tell me, what was going on with the 'peony' back then? Why is Miss Yingchun also a member of the Peony Organization? Could it be ...... This matter is not only related to the palace, but also involves the members of the court? β
"It is said that you know more than ordinary people's hearts, and it seems that this is really true. You guessed right, those peony flowers back then were indeed more or less related to the palace, and the woman known as the 'green peony' was the real leader of the 'peony', and the others just obeyed her orders. As for her true identity, the person is already dead, so I don't think there is any need for Gongzi Chu to continue to investigate. Old Madam Mei's face suddenly became a little more melancholy.
Chu Yunfei nodded: "The old lady is right, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped so quickly." If it weren't for the special identity of those people, and what they did made the people applaud, the emperor would not have continued to investigate. But this kind of atmosphere really can't help it, and if everyone is like them, I'm afraid there will be a big mess in the future. I don't understand, who is the real leader of the 'Bright Peony' right now? Could it be the daughter of the 'Green Peony' back then? Or ......"
Old Madam Mei blinked her eyes in surprise a few times, and then giggled: "Young Master Chu, you can't be really naΓ―ve enough to think that those people can see anything, right?" They have always done things safely, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to find any clues. All the rumors are just an illusion made by those people in order to confuse outsiders, otherwise, how could they make it difficult for Gongzi Chu? β
There are still words in the words! Chu Yunfei laughed: "Old Madam Mei is really not an ordinary person, she can guess that things are not so simple. But Mrs. Mei, there are some things that leave a little doubt to be more interesting. This is the end of the case, and I don't plan to pursue it further. β
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei sighed. Old Madam Mei looked at him several times, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and sighed after a while, "What did you say?" Finish? Do you really think it's over here? The old body is not a three-year-old child, this time Mrs. Li San pretended to be 'Peony' to do evil, and the things they committed were definitely not just one or two things. Do you really want this to be the end of it? It's not like your personality at all. Hasn't Gongzi Chu always liked to pursue the truth? β
"The so-called truth of Mrs. May...... And I think the truth is not the same thing. Have the old lady ever heard of the name Baihualou? Chu Yunfei suddenly changed the topic. His face was not very good-looking, originally he wanted to know more about the peony from the old lady's mouth, but judging from the attitude of the old lady Mei and the clues he found, the "bright peony" back then was more or less related to the palace. Now that the matter of that year has come to an end, why should he bother to ask? And Baihualou is the thing that gives him the most headache.
"What do you say? Baihualou? Old Madam Mei gasped and asked again and again, "Where did you hear this name?" How can it be? Where did you hear that? β
"So...... The old lady has heard of this place? This is...... Mrs. Li San said before she died, she said Baihualou...... I thought I had misheard. Chu Yunfei put away the smiling expression on his face and looked at the old lady with a serious face, he understood that things seemed to have changed.
Old Madam Mei's expression instantly became strange, "Baihualou...... The old body is also not long ago to hear people talk about, it is said that the owner of the Baihualou sits on the wealth of the world, the Baihualou carved beams and painted buildings, paved with gold, and illuminated by night pearls, far more luxurious than the palace. There's only what you can't think of, there's nothing they can't do. But no one knows what kind of place Baihualou is, and it is not that anyone can enter it casually, only the person who the owner of Baihualou likes can become a guest there. These are just rumors, because as long as they have been to Baihualou, they must be reluctant to leave. β
"Is the old lady joking?" Chu Yunfei looked at Old Madam Mei with a question mark on his face. The more you talk about it, the more weird it becomes, since no one wants to leave Baihualou, what is going on with Mrs. Li San? He remembered Mrs. Li San's expression before she died, and the tone of her voice, there was definitely more than just hatred in her expression, there seemed to be more than other meanings.
Old Madam Mei shook her head: "Whether it's true or not, you need to confirm it yourself, Young Master Chu." Have you heard the name Duan Tianya? If you can find him, you might be able to see something in him. β
Chu Yunfei didn't move, of course he had heard of the name Duan Tianya, he used to be the emperor's imperial guard, he had mysteriously disappeared three years ago, and mysteriously appeared outside the emperor's bedroom soon after, the difference was that he was already unconscious at that time. It is said that after waking up, Duan Tianya has completely lost his memory and turned into a pile of walking dead. The emperor was grateful for the old feelings, so he specially ordered someone to arrange a house for him in the palace and sent special people to take care of his diet and daily life. What would such a deranged person remember?
"There must be some big secret hidden in the Baihua Building, but it's a pity that the people in the government never think that such a place exists." Old Madam Mei shook her head, she suddenly stared nervously at the door, raised her voice and scolded, "Who is sneaking around at the door?" β
"It's me...... I originally wanted to bring snacks to the two of you, but I didn't expect them to be talking, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to come in or not. Orchid lifted the curtain and walked in.
This bright and touching woman is always so considerate! The corners of Chu Yunfei's mouth overflowed with a smile, "How is Yingxue now?" In two days, it will be the flower-viewing meeting arranged by the emperor, and I hope he will not miss this great opportunity. (To be continued.)
