Chapter 185: Charcoal in the Snow
She looked up, and it turned out that the food on the ground had attracted the mice, and they were all gathered around for a full meal.
Su Ruoxi sneered: "It's only you mice who can look at these eating ......."

"Princess, Mrs. Zunguo has given you a post." Danmo came in from outside the house, holding a gilded post on his phone.
Su Tingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What is the post talking about." ”
Danmo opened it in front of Su Qingcheng: "Mrs. Zunguo said that she wants to drink tea tomorrow, and invites you to go to a taste of immortal tea." ”
"Okay, you go and talk back to the people from her house, and then send some broken silver, and tell Fluttershy to take her directly to my room tomorrow."
After Danmo stepped back, Su Qingcheng's eyes were still fixed on the post on the table.
Mrs. Zunguo must have thought clearly about cooperating with her, but after all, she is just a princess, and her hand can't stretch out so long.
After thinking about it, Su Chengcheng got up and walked towards Ye Yutai's study.
"Lord Wang, are you there?" Su Tingcheng knocked on the door and said tentatively.
"Here, you just come in," Ye Yutai's voice was gentle and magnetic, with his unique feeling, "What's the matter?" ”
"I want to ask the prince, how can I find Gu Huoyan." Su Chengcheng slowly walked to his side.
"Do you want him to help you bring Lu Xuerou and the county lord back?" Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Chengtai said Su Tingcheng's purpose, and Su Chengcheng was slightly stunned before nodding in acknowledgement.
"I may have to go out for a while, and I want to take Lu Xuerou out before this, she has been giving birth for more than a month, and the queen has not released her, obviously she wants to blackmail the emperor's grandson."
After Ye Yutai was silent for a moment, his slender fingers knocked on the table in a knotted manner: "Where is the princess going?" ”
"Go and do some private things, isn't there anything you can do on the emperor's grandson's side?"
Ye Yutai's mind seemed to be not on this at all, and he casually picked up the scroll on the side and looked at it: "He has no real power." ”
Su Qingcheng pursed his lips and continued, "So I need Gu Huoyan's help. ”
"Change the king of Japan to help you make an appointment with him, I don't know where to go for the private affairs that the princess said?" Ye Yutai Road.
Su Qingcheng nodded and said slowly: "Go to the south, since this is the case, then I will wait for the news of the prince." ”
With that, she left Ye Yutai's study.

Sioux House.
Since Su Ruoxi and the maids turned their faces, the meals that the maids sent her were all rancid, Su Ruoxi wanted to vomit when she smelled it, she couldn't eat it at all, and the wind was cold at night, so she soon fell ill.
She asked the maids to go to the doctor, but two days had passed, and the doctor had not come.
Su Ruoxi lay on the bed weakly, her lips were already chapped and peeled, and there was no blood at all.
"Second Miss ......"
"Second Miss ......"
A few faint voices woke Su Ruoxi from her half-dream, and she always tried her best to get up from the bed, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Who?"
"It's me, Second Miss, I'm Little Peach." Xiao Tao is one of Su Ruoxi's personal maids.
Su Ruoxi got up from the bed as if she suddenly saw a beam of light, and walked towards the window, she carefully opened the window with anticipation.
Xiao Tao came in through the window with a large food box and clean clothes in her hand.
"Miss, I gave the guards a few bags of broken silver while those sisters were asleep before I dared to come over, you can eat quickly." Xiao Tao opened the food box, and there were the best dishes of the Beijing restaurant that Su Ruoxi loved to eat.
Su Ruoxi's tears came out all of a sudden, and she didn't care about holding the dishes and chopsticks, just like a beggar on the street, she grabbed the food with her bare hands and stuffed it into her mouth.
Xiao Tao lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Miss, although Xiao Tao only followed you halfway, I really can't bear to see Miss suffer." ”
"You...... Tomorrow will ...... too" Su Ruoxi said while stuffing it into her mouth, and she couldn't hear it clearly.
Xiao Tao poured her a glass of water and handed it over, her eyes were full of distress and guilt: "Miss eat slowly, I don't know that Miss is still infected with wind cold, I should give Miss some medicine." ”
Su Ruoxi swallowed a mouthful of water and smoothed it out, saying, "It's okay, I'm already very content, Xiao Tao is really the only one who is the best for me." ”
After finishing speaking, she grabbed the food and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "That's right...... How's my mother? ”
Xiao Taocai saved the tears that she could hold back again, and her voice choked up: "In order to intercede for Miss, Mrs. has been kneeling outside the master's study, and her legs are about to break." ”
Hearing this, Su Ruoxi couldn't eat it anymore, she chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it, and glanced at the clean clothes that Xiao Tao brought in.
"There's someone outside guarding me and I can't run away, do you have a way to bring me bath water?" Her voice was unusually calm, and it was inexplicably a little frightening to hear in the dark.
Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "But I should be able to bring a wet handkerchief to Miss, does Miss want to bathe?" ”
"Okay, then you can bring me a clean wet cloth and clean sheets and bedding tomorrow, and it's best to bring the incense in my room too, and then help me send a message to Duanwangfu."
Xiao Tao nodded ignorantly, helped Su Ruoxi change into clean clothes and left.

After Su Chengcheng had breakfast, he went straight to Yipin Immortal Tea.
Xiao Saucer stood at the door of the store early to greet him, and Su Chengcheng walked into the teahouse after putting on a veil.
Although she hasn't been here for a long time, she has been looking at the account books of the teahouse every day, so she is not very unfamiliar with everything here.
"Has Minglan gone back?" Su Chengcheng Road.
Fluttershy nodded and said, "She left half a month ago, so she should come back on the fifth day of next month." ”
After a brief glance, Su Chengcheng went upstairs to the side room: "Mrs. Zunguo is here, you can bring her over directly." ”
"Okay."
Su Chengcheng's wing room is located in the middle of the top floor of the tea house, due to the special structure, the shape of her wing room is different from the ordinary room, it is a circle.
And the windows around the wing room can see everything in the teahouse, which was later remodeled by Jin Wei according to her requirements.
She sat on a soft chair and watched the teahouse hall when suddenly a figure in the corner caught her attention.
It's Cai Zhiwu.
"Does that gentleman come often?" She asked the girl who was pouring tea next to her.
The girl looked in the direction of Su Qingcheng's finger and said, "I come often, and I sit in that position, basically once every three or five days." When Fluttershy sees that he is a regular customer, she often keeps him that spot. ”
Su Chengcheng didn't know what else had happened between Cai Zhiwu and Ye Tangtai, but he had a faint intuition that he would know some secrets about Ye Tangtai's life experience.
After all, the Cai family was also one of the top literary masters in the capital in the previous dynasty.
It's just that for some reason, the Cai family was defeated after the emperor ascended the throne.
There must be some kind of connection between the two......
"Princess, Mrs. Zunguo has arrived."
