Chapter 38: Something Wrong
The emperor used the Changchun Palace murder case as an excuse, saying that he was sick and did not go to court.
The officials expressed their concern and condolences to the emperor, and then left the palace.
Jiang Huaiyin was at the forefront of the hundred officials, walking out of the palace gate, with indescribable grace in his gentle steps.
Ye Lan saw Jiang Huaiyin standing out from the crowd at a glance.
He stepped forward and lowered his voice, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, the origin of the jade dew paste has been ascertained, do you want to seal the shop?" β
After speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Huaiyin.
It records in detail the whole process of Murong Xi getting the gyokuro ointment.
Yelan has always done things safely, not only did she explore the rouge shop, but also checked the people that Murong Xue had started to contact three days before she met Murong Xi.
Jiang Huaiyin glanced at it, folded the paper slowly, and looked back, facing the eyes of Li Xiang and Shen Guogong not far away.
The rash on his face had already turned red to a shocking height, and Shen Guogong's gloating expression couldn't be contained, "What's the prince's face?" β
"It is said that each other is born from the heart, doesn't the prince have a fire in his heart?" Li Xiang echoed Shen Guogong's words.
Jiang Huaiyin tilted his head slightly and smiled softly, "I accidentally used the wrong thing, and I'm investigating the reason." β
"Oops." Shen Guogong took a step closer without smiling, "Then you have to check it carefully, those who dare to hurt the prince are really bold, and it is not a pity to die." β
As he said this, he already gave a thumbs up to that person in his heart.
The only fly in the ointment is that it only caused Jiang Huaiyin to have a little rash, if he could kill Jiang Huaiyin in one fell swoop, it would be perfect.
Jiang Huaiyin had a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and he casually played with the paper in his hand, "Yes, it's not a pity to die." Grandpa Guo rest assured, when the real murderer is caught, this king will definitely send it to Grandpa Guo, so that Grandpa Guo can see people who are more courageous than Grandpa Guo. β
Shen Guogong bowed his hand respectfully, "Weichen is waiting for good news." β
Seeing the two walk away, Jiang Huaiyin had a smile on his face, twisted his fingers, and boarded the carriage.
"Go to the rouge shop in the east of the city."
-
The carriage stopped leisurely in front of the shop, Jiang Huaiyin's closed eyes slowly opened, and the dark pupils were as deep as an abyss.
Yelan: "Lord Wang, this is it." β
Jiang Huaiyin didn't respond, and got out of the carriage with the fox fur tight.
As soon as his heels landed, his eyes caught a glimpse of two figures walking into Jishitang not far away.
Thick eyebrows raised slightly, Jiang Huaiyin traced back in the direction where the two of them came, and it was actually from the Drunken Immortal Building.
In a flash, in the box on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, a window suddenly closed while he was looking.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible to see the face of the person who closed the window, but it still caught a white and faint hedge.
Jiang Huaiyin chuckled lightly and stared at the closed window with interest.
"Tsk, let this king come to vent for her, but she went to the restaurant with someone to eat and drink - the abacus is loud."
"Lord Wang?" Ye Lan walked to the door of the shop, and noticed that the prince did not follow up, so she called out in confusion.
Jiang Huaiyin retracted his gaze and temporarily changed his actions, "I heard that the dishes in the Zuixianlou are delicious and the wine is mellowβgo to the Zuixianlou." β
Yelan: ?
-
Murong Ji's heart thumped.
Just now, I almost met Jiang Huaiyin's gaze.
She patted her chest in fear, comforting herself, Jiang Huaiyin's eyes were not so good, she definitely didn't see her shadow!
On second thought, what if it was discovered?
It's a blue day, what's wrong with her going out for breakfast?
While comforting himself, he still instructed the egret to quickly remove the empty bowl of bean curd that Dongfang Li and Chu Cheng had eaten.
The egret did so.
I didn't have time to call Xiao Er, so I hurriedly took the empty bowl and walked out the door.
Murong Ji helped open the door, staring at the crack in the door, desperately wanting the egret to leave quickly.
Who knew that the moment the door opened, as far as the eye could see, it was a ghost-like figure.
"What a coincidence."
The white figure stands at the door like an immovable snow-capped mountain. A feminine smile bloomed on her face, combined with the red rash on her cheeks, in Murong Xi's eyes, it turned into a blood-dripping human skin lantern, hooking her soul and shaking her guts.
"Lord Wang-" Murong Xi could feel the chill emanating from Jiang Huaiyin's body across the fence, pursed his lips, and said with a weak heart:
"The prince also came to the drunken immortal building to eat bean curd? The bean curd in this drunken fairy building is really delicious, I ate three bowls by myself! β
Jiang Huaiyin squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the two empty bowls in Bai Lu's hands, "Tsk, since the princess likes to eat bean curd, why not recruit the cook of the Drunken Immortal Building?" β
"You don't have to!" Murong Xi's attention just now was all on Chu Chengshu, and he didn't know whether the bean curd was salty or sweet at all, "The bean curd is delicious to eat occasionally, but if you eat it often, it won't taste like that." β
Jiang Huaiyin chuckled, and under Murong Xi's frightened gaze, he walked into the box and sat in the place where Murong Xi had just sat down.
With his long arm stretched, he opened the window, and at the angle of his height, he could just see the door of the rouge shop just now.
"The bean curd that can make the princess eat three bowls in a row must be a delicacy in the world, right? Since it is a delicacy in the world, how can the princess eat alone? β
Murong Ji was dead.
From Jiang Huaiyin's actions, she was sure that Jiang Huaiyin already knew that she was eating with Dongfang Li.
Hanging his head in annoyance, like a child who has done something wrong, his hands and fingers are constantly twisted, and he is very aware of the current affairs and says, "I was wrong." β
Jiang Huaiyin supported his cheek with one hand, and a cold light appeared in his slightly narrowed eyes, "What's wrong?" β
"I just went out to buy medicine for the prince, Jishitang is overcrowded, shouldn't I take the medicine back home as soon as possible, go through the back door, and invite the master of the Dongfang Young Hall to eat a bowl of bean curdββ"
Jiang Huaiyin: "There is no medicine to sell in the pharmacy next to it?" β
Murong Xi raised her eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, "I'm not familiar with the capital." β
She said it with great sincerity and a bit of loss.
Whether it is the original owner or her, the capital is a strange city to her.
A person who is not familiar with the capital, if she visits the pharmacy, everyone will introduce Jishitang to her.
Jiang Huaiyin's eyes softened suddenly, and his finger tapped to the seat next to him, "Come here." β
Murong Xi didn't know that she had invisibly won Jiang Huaiyin's sympathy, but simply out of fear of the "Pu Fan", she walked over and sat down very obediently.
Jiang Huaiyin still had Murong Xi in front of him who ate the remaining half bowl of bean curd, picked up the spoon and stirred it, and took a bite indifferently.
"Lord Wang!" Murong Xi wanted to stretch out his hand to stop it, but suddenly saw that his fingers that should have been white and slender were covered with red rashes under his eyes.
Lowering his head in shame, Murong Xi groaned: "That's what I ate." β
Jiang Huaiyin ate it indifferently, the bean curd in the Drunken Immortal Building was really as rumored, tender and delicious.
"What's wrong?"
Murong Xi: "......"
"You shouldn't know that there is a problem with the gyokuro ointment, and you should also give it to the prince."
You shouldn't have continued to be curious about Jiang Huaiyin's whereabouts after seeing Jiang Huaiyin's carriage, and didn't close the window at the first time!
Of course, Murong Xi couldn't say this inner fluctuation.
She sat up straight and promised, "But don't worry, I will definitely cure these rashes before the end of the year!" β
"It seems that the princess does not have a deep understanding of her mistakes." Jiang Huaiyin said faintly.
As soon as the words were spoken, a muffled sound came from beside him.
Murong Xi was too nervous, sat down on the ground from the chair, opened her mouth, she really didn't know what her "crime" was, and she stared at her anxiously.
Jiang Huaiyin frowned slightly, she didn't expect her reaction to be so big.
So, between her and Chu Cheng, what can't he, the regent, know?
