The four of them just walked out of the gate of the palace, and they didn't take two steps, and they saw a group of people from the palace coming over from a distance, just because the people of the Dingxi palace had the same dress, and the clothes of men and women were only slightly different, which was really easy to recognize. There is no one in this city who wears the same clothes as them, and of course ordinary people do not wear the same clothes as their subordinates, and ordinary people and other prefectures naturally do not dare to wear the same clothes for their subordinates. Even the subordinates of the palace seem to be more arrogant than ordinary people and subordinates elsewhere.

When the group approached, they saw that it was no different from what the old sister-in-law described: the one carried by the four palanquin drivers must be the princess of Dingxi, and there was a maid walking in front and behind. The princess is dressed very ordinary, she is not dressed up, she is not dressed up, I don't know if she is usually a simple person, or if her son has lost it and has no heart to clean it up. However, from the sedan chair, it seems that he should be a simple person - no canopy, no cover, no curtains, just a chair on two poles, common in summer, not as stuffy as in the sedan chair.

Chen Yuan actually had several contacts with King Dingxi, but it was the first time the princess had seen him, so she didn't go up to say hello, but only stopped and looked at it twice. Then he followed Taimo, who led the way, and pondered for a while to go back and ask Princess Dingxi, how to open her mouth and what to ask. After taking two steps, he crashed into Taimo's back in a trance, and when he saw that Taimo also stopped, he stared at Princess Dingxi and his party, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong, Momo." Chen Yuan asked.

"Shhh Taimo seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong? Is it familiar to anyone? Maybe you still have loved ones. Gu Ming touched Taimo's little head again.

"Not really, Master." Taimo paused, and then said: "I just think it's weird, and I can't say what's weird." ”

"It's been a long time." Daiji said with a smile.

"Can you be gentle with your nephew?" Gu Ming said.

"I'm not gentle with the top cards." Dai Eryi rolled his eyes.

Chen Yuan and Gu Ming also rolled their eyes when they heard this.

"Anyway, it's just that it's not suitable, and it feels weird." Taimo scratched his head and said, "I don't want to, eat first." "Then he led the way again.

The main street is almost at the end, turning into an alley, and at the entrance of the alley is the bean curd stall. It's really as delicious as Taimo said, Gu Ming doesn't like to eat tofu and bean curd, so he also ate a bowl to the bottom, and drank all the soup.

"Shopkeeper, a few bucks." Gu Ming asked.

"Seven bowls, one hundred and forty wen." Shopkeeper Road.

"How much? More than a hundred? Dai Er was surprised: "It's enough to buy a roast chicken." Dai Er, who eats the most, is naturally a little unhappy, whoever eats more will pay the bill, looking at the four bowls stacked in front of him, chattering for a while.

"Obviously, you can go and grab it directly, if you have to set up a stall, you don't want to see me slaughter me in front of me." Daiji muttered.

"No, second uncle, it was the price a few years ago, otherwise I wouldn't have gone back to the city so much, and I would have eaten once." After that, he smacked his lips and said, "Actually, I can eat three or four bowls." ”

"I want you to talk more!" Dai Eryi patted Taimo's neck, and slapped a corner of broken silver on the table.

"This taste, worth the price, is more fragrant than roast chicken." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Or is this guest officer listening, I still call it money robbery? See the fortune teller who is closing the stall? That's called money grabbing. The stall with me has earned ten taels of silver at this time. The stall owner seemed a little jealous.

"Oh? Is he right? Chen Yuan asked.

"Who knows, the first time I saw him." The stall owner said.

"See you for the first time? He wasn't here before? Chen Yuan was surprised.

"Fortune tellers like them are all walking the streets, how can there be fixed stalls. There is definitely no place for him on the main street, just pick a place with a lot of people, and don't occupy other people's boundaries. The stall owner said.

"You can earn ten taels of silver in the middle of the morning, and you can learn a lesson at most a hundred times, even if you meet a rich person, you will also count the reward, how many fortune tellers have come." Gu Ming said.

"What's more, just one." The stall owner said.

"Ten taels of silver for one man!" Daiji exclaimed.

"Mrs. City Lord, naturally not bad for money." The stall owner said.

"Princess Dingxi?" The three of them said at the same time.

"Yes, otherwise whoever makes a move will give ten taels of silver." The stall owner said as he wiped the table.

"If I hadn't been lucky today, maybe I would have been able to get a few taels of money from my wife." The stall owner hated and said with a sigh, very sorry.

"Oh? Why? Chen Yuan asked.

"Madame, where did the fortune teller go to Maozi, not there. The lady sat in front of the hexagram stall and waited for the fortune teller, and suddenly asked loudly why it tasted so good, and the maid said that it was my bean curd, and the lady asked the maid to buy a bowl. The stall owner said.

"What? Madame doesn't like to eat? Chen Yuan asked.

"That's not, it's the one who can't hold the feces and urine happens to come back at this time and start teaching Madame." The stall owner had a hateful expression on his face again, and then said: "That guy didn't know what he said and seemed to scare Madame, and the bowl in Madame's hand was not stable and spilled out." ”

The stall owner paused and said, "Fortunately, Madame covered her legs with the cloth around the fortune telling stall before eating, so she didn't spill it on her dress." Madame continued to listen to what the guy said, and she didn't eat my bean curd again. The stall owner said.

"It's the first time I've seen people who haven't eaten the leftovers, and I blame the fortune teller, what he said shocked Mrs., and Mrs. was full of sadness when she left." The stall owner continued.

"What lesson did Madame teach? What is asked? Chen Yuan asked.

"Then who knows, it's not close, besides, Mrs. City Lord, it must be a big deal, can you take a loudspeaker and shout." The stall owner seemed to transfer his dissatisfaction to Chenyuan and a few people.

"Sit down! Four bowls, okay! Here it comes. Chen Yuan wanted to ask something more, the stall owner had already gone to greet the guests, so naturally it was not good to delay people's business, so he got up and left, and walked towards the fortune teller who had finished collecting the stall.

"Sir, let's take a lesson." Chen Yuan arched his hand and stopped the fortune teller.

"Don't afford it, collect the stall, I can earn enough money today." The fortune teller didn't look back.

"I have ten taels here." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

As soon as the stall owner turned around, he looked at Chen Yuan and a few people, then turned back to pack up his things, and said: "One hundred taels don't earn anything, the money is not earned in one day, everything that should be earned today is earned, people can't be greedy." ”

Chen Yuan smiled, took back the silver in his hand, and said without giving up: "Just ask a few words, and it doesn't take time." ”

"I won't say anything today, tomorrow day, what do you want to ask, come to me tomorrow, I'll be on a few streets nearby." The way of fortune telling.

"Which street are you going to go to-morrow?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I don't know what street I'm on." The fortune teller said "with a whirlwind" and drove the little donkey cart away.

The four of them swayed back to the palace, Taimo introduced the things in Linze City to Gu Ming all the way, Dai Er disappeared for a while, and came back after a while, and every alley had to be drilled into it to take a look, sometimes with a happy face. Only Chen Yuan walked all the way with his head down, thoughtful.

"Greetings to Madame." Chenyuan courted Princess Dingxi.

After returning, the three of them waited in the house, and Chen Yuan came to the princess's courtyard alone.

"No courtesy, Qing'er, watch and sit." The princess waved her hand at Chen Yuan and said to the maid beside her.

"You're the kid with Yun'er's brother in one bite, right?" The princess asked.

"Yes, a few years older, thanks to the favor of the little prince." Tatsu Yuandao.

"My boy is straight and proud, and if he can obediently call you brother, you must have something extraordinary." The princess nodded.

Chen Yuan smiled, picked his eyebrows embarrassedly, and did not answer again.

After a short silence, the princess asked, "Are you here for something?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded when he heard this, and said, "I have something to ask Madame." ”

"Is it for my boy?" The princess burst into tears as she spoke.

"Yes, madam, you were the last person to see him yesterday, I came to hear you tell me about the situation when I met him, what was abnormal, and see if it can help you find Xiaoyun." Tatsu Yuandao.

The princess wiped her red eyes and nodded.

"When Mrs. went to see Xiaoyun yesterday, was Xiaoyun asleep the whole time?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I'm asleep the whole time." The princess replied.

"How many people are Madame? Who is in the house? Chen Yuan asked.

"Four palanquins, three maids, and a butler." After a pause, he said, "And Xiaoyun's two maids also entered the house." ”

"The four palanquin drivers also entered the house?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Naturally, I entered the house." The princess said.

"Why did the sedan chair man enter the house, shouldn't he wait in place after getting off the sedan chair in the courtyard? Even if it rained yesterday, just wait under the eaves. Chen Yuan asked.

"I hurt my leg and can't walk." The princess said.

"What's wrong with Madame's leg?" Chen Yuan asked.

The princess didn't answer, but the maid named Qing'er said: "I heard a few days ago that the little prince was poisoned, and he won't live for seven or eight days without detoxification." When the lady heard this, she hurried out, and as soon as she ran out of the door, she fell down the stairs and broke her leg. ”

The princess's tears fell, and there was a sound of sobbing, remembering that her son was highly poisoned, and the poison had not been solved and disappeared without knowing whether she was alive or dead, and it was difficult for a mother not to cry.

"It's been four or five days, is Madame's leg better?" Chen Yuan said with concern at the right time.

"I still can't land, and it hurts if I exert a little effort. However, the doctor saw that his muscles and bones were fine, and he was fine slowly. The princess said slowly.

"That's fine. No wonder the palanquin driver has to come into the house and carry you to the bed. "Chen Yuandao.

"Have the people been with you since they entered the house?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I wiped the child's face, and when I was done, I wanted to say a few words to the child, so I asked the next person to wait at the door." The princess said.

"And then? Will anyone enter the house again? Chen Yuan asked.

The princess shook her head and said, "After I finished talking to my child, she called four palanquins in and carried me out. Then because it was raining, I asked the maid to close the door quickly, and I didn't see anyone go in until I left. ”

"Okay." Chen Yuan said, thought for a while, as if there was nothing to ask anymore, so he got up and apologized unanimously: "Madam, I'm too much to disturb, you can wait." ”

"Nothing to disturb, anything to think of, come to me at any time, as long as you can find my child." Madame said again.

Chen Yuan turned to leave, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Madam, take the liberty of asking, I heard that you went out this morning to tell the fortune, is it also for the sake of the little prince?" ”

After hearing this, the princess's eyes turned red again: "Naturally." As soon as he finished speaking, he cried directly.

"This ...... Did the fortune teller say anything bad? Chen Yuan asked.

"That gentleman is talking nonsense, and he actually said that the little prince was captured by the ghost and can't be found." The maid named Qing'er said.

"That's it, Mrs. actually gave the liar ten taels of silver, saying that she should think about it again and see if there is any way to crack it, that person is a liar, where is the ghost in the world." Qing'er said again.

"Say no more!" The princess suddenly shouted.

"You are young, don't talk nonsense here! You can not believe it, but you must not be disrespectful! The princess still shouted, and at last she turned back to the back room in despair, as if she were talking to herself, and her voice was inaudible. Ke Chenyuan was so strong that he clearly heard the princess saying, "Yes! Some! I've seen it! Some! It's right here! ...... in this house."
