Chapter 40: Accidental Discovery
Su Wanqiu had always known Li Qingru's temperament, so she was not reluctant, but said: "Even so, you have to be more careful." ”
Outside the window, the noon sun slanted all over the ground, falling mottled and sparse shadows all over the ground.
"Who is this?" Li Qingru saw Mingyi standing beside Su Wanqiu, and looked at him with a little curiosity, only to see that he was wearing a cyan robe, his eyes were as clear and quiet as the clear light of the moon, and he was peerless.
"In Xia Li Yi, it is Su Gongzi's old acquaintance, and he happened to meet him in the temple just now." Ming Yi smiled slightly and said, "This is the eldest lady of the Li family, right?" ”
Li Qingru nodded, didn't think much about it, and turned to Su Wanqiu and said, "By the way, late autumn, I heard that the fasting in Jining Temple has always been excellent, but I have never eaten it." ”
Su Wanqiu glanced at the sky, it was already noon, and said with a smile: "Then it's better to go and eat now." ”
It is very regular to eat in Jining Temple, even if several people present are Linchuan nobles, but they have to go to the canteen of Jining Temple to eat, and the canteen is only open for a period of time, if the time passes, there is no fasting in the future.
The four of them went to the canteen together, although there was a confusing murder today, but the canteen was still full of people coming and going.
Su Wanqiu randomly found a place to sit down, and Chuyu Cailian and the others quickly came over for fasting.
Although the meals are full of vegetarian foods such as potatoes and radishes, they exude a burst of fragrance and feel crisp and delicious to eat, which makes people praise it.
"No wonder others say that the fasting food in Jining Temple is good, although they all accept vegetarian food, but it also has a different flavor." Li Qingru said with a smile.
Su Wanqiu also smiled: "It is not for nothing that Jining Temple is known as the first temple in Linchuan. ”
While everyone was talking and laughing, a chopstick rolled down to Su Wanqiu's feet out of nowhere, she looked up with a little surprise, and a pilgrim came over and said, "This young lady, I'm sorry." ”
Thinking that he had just inadvertently slipped his chopsticks on the ground just now, Su Wanqiu said gently: "It's okay." ”
As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of the back of a brocade robe on the side of the dining hall.
Her slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, although she couldn't see the person's face, but the brocade on his body was delicate and luxurious, and his long black hair was tied up with a green jade crown.
"Late autumn, what's wrong?" Su Jin sensed that something was wrong with Su Wanqiu, and couldn't help asking.
"It's fine." Su Wanqiu shook her head, and when she looked again, there was no longer that person, and she looked around again, but found nothing.
Ming Yi followed Su Wanqiu's line of sight, but with a thoughtful expression on his face, he suddenly stood up and said, "I still have some things to do, so I'll say goodbye." ”
After that, without waiting for the three of them to react, they immediately stepped out.
Li Qingru said strangely: "What else do you have to do at this time?" ”
"I don't know." Su Wanqiu shook her head, "Let's eat first, and we'll go back in a while." ”
After the three of them had a meal, they went back to the guest room of Jining Temple to rest, after all, the sun is getting big now, and there is no hurry to go back after this period of time.
At this time, Su Wanqiu was reclining on the collapse, holding a scripture book in her arms, flipping through it at will.
The scriptures were obscure, and Su Wanqiu only read a rough idea, so she put down the scriptures a little boredly, but suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Third Miss."
A man's voice came from outside the door, Su Wanqiu was slightly stunned, this voice should be Mingyi, she raised her eyebrows: "Li Gongzi, please come in." ”
Mingyi pushed the door and walked in, holding a booklet in his hand, and stretched out his hand to hand it to Su Wanqiu.
She subconsciously took it, and then asked, "What is this?" ”
As she spoke, she had already opened the booklet, and there were lines of names neatly written on it, and she raised her eyebrows slightly puzzled.
"This is the record of entering and leaving Jining Temple today." Mingyi Road.
Su Wanqiu nodded, then sat back on the collapse, and carefully flipped through the past page by page.
"The person who appeared in the canteen before was Chen Mu." Mingyi said lightly.
Su Wanqiu's movements paused: "Chen Mu......" She showed a thoughtful expression, but she didn't say anything for a long time.
Mingyi didn't speak, just looked at Su Wanqiu quietly.
Su Wanqiu turned the pages one by one, and suddenly saw a name that surprised her.
"Liu'er?" She frowned, Liu Er is the personal girl next to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady did not come to offer incense today, why did Liu Er appear here?
She suddenly remembered the girl who bumped into her near the Kaiyuan Hall before, and now that she thought about it carefully, it seemed that something was vaguely wrong.
Yes, how could the eldest lady let her go so easily, she worked hard to buy and provoke the moon, but in the end she was so lightly resolved by Su Wanqiu, the eldest lady must be very unwilling in her heart.
Mingyi probably thought that Su Wanqiu had discovered something, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Su Wanqiu shook her head: "No." ”
She flipped through the booklet several times, but she didn't find anything, but Liu Er's name appeared on the list to make Su Wanqiu a little inexplicably weird.
"That's right." Su Wanqiu collected her thoughts and looked at Mingyi again, "Master Yuankong asked the prefect to come over, did you say anything?" ”
Su Wanqiu believed that with Mingyi's means, what Master Yuankong said to the prefect would inevitably reach his ears word for word.
"Nothing important." Mingyi said lightly.
Su Wanqiu couldn't help but chuckle, and a dark shadow sank in her dark eyes, presumably because Mingyi didn't want to tell herself about the things involved, but she didn't care much about it.
Now Mingyi is indeed using Su Wanqiu to investigate this case, but he doesn't want Su Wanqiu to know too much, and Su Wanqiu is also using Mingyi, and the two are just mutually beneficial.
She returned the booklet to Ming Yi and said, "This matter involves a wide range of issues, and it cannot be investigated overnight, so Your Highness should not be in a hurry." ”
When outsiders were around, she called him Li Gongzi, but now there are only the two of them, so she calls him His Royal Highness, calling one more alienated than the other.
Mingyi didn't have any color on his face, and only said: "Chen Mu is in the Hou Mansion now, and my manpower has no way to enter the Hou Mansion to investigate, and I hope that the third lady will help me monitor Chen Mu's actions." ”
"Your Highness can't help but laugh, although I am the third lady of the Hou Mansion, but I don't have a strong guard by my side, how can I monitor the son of the dignified Prince's Mansion?" Su Wanqiu softly refused.
"You don't, I do." Mingyi looked at Su Wanqiu's eyes, word by word, and said seriously.
