"Hey, are you finally willing to look away?" A sour voice sounded from behind.
Su Lingyu suppressed all the thoughts in her heart and raised a polite smile: "What does His Highness Prince An mean by these words? It's just because he saw that man's extraordinary aura. After looking at him twice, why would he be reluctant to say it?"
The man called King An snorted coldly: "It's best this way."
Seeing the strange look on his face, Su Lingyu concluded that he must know the identity of that person.
After looking at Wang An's somewhat similar eyes for a moment, Su Lingyu lowered his eyes and asked directly: "Does the prince know who that person is?"
Zhao Sheng glanced at her: "So what if you know, so what if you don't know?"
Su Lingyu's attitude was lowered: "Please give me some advice."
Zhao Sheng stared at her for a long time, snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and sat down, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and his voice was unconsciously sarcastic: "He is my king's younger brother."
Su Lingyu knew it in her heart. She had already guessed it when she saw that Zhao Sheng looked similar to that man. She didn't expect that the two were really related by blood and they were brothers.
So, that man is also a prince?
After a moment of information about all the nobles in the capital, Su Lingyu blurted out: "His Royal Highness, King Jin?"
Zhao Sheng glanced at her, which was quite smart.
Zhao Sheng responded with a hum from his nose, but the disgust in his eyes was not concealed, which showed that the relationship between the two brothers was extremely bad.
Su Lingyu could understand, after all, they were members of the royal family, and brothers were not siblings, but competitors, so naturally they would hate them as much as they wanted.
However, the Daqing Dynasty has established a prince. If these people want to compete for the throne, shouldn't they work together to defeat the prince first?
Thoughts that were extremely rebellious to the people of the day flashed through Su Lingyu's mind, but were quickly ignored. There was one more thing that needed to be clarified.
"Your Majesty, can you help me check something?"
Zhao Sheng turned the jade ring in his hand and said with a lack of interest: "You call me the king? Don't forget, this Wuweizhai can be opened thanks to me. What qualifications do you have to call me?"
Su Lingyu smiled politely: "That's true, but the prince also makes a lot of money."
The income generated in the first half month of opening alone has more than tripled the original capital. As long as the business is run properly, from now on it will be just a matter of lying around and waiting for the money to jump into the sack.
Of course, Zhao Sheng's identity did provide a lot of convenience, so the two of them split the restaurant's income 30-70.
Su Lingyu San, Zhao Shengqi.
It seems unfair, but the world is inherently unfair, and Su Lingyu accepts it well.
The woman's smiling and unafraid expression piqued Zhao Sheng's interest: "You are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. Tell me, what do you want me to check for you?"
Su Lingyu bowed respectfully: "Please help me check the relationship between His Highness Prince Jin and the woman next to him."
woman?
Zhao Sheng didn't pay attention to the woman next to him, but when he mentioned the woman, a person quickly popped into his mind. He was the savior who was brought into the mansion by Zhao Ce some time ago.
I heard that the person was a woman, and she was favored by Zhao Ce because of her life-saving grace.
Oh, savior.
Thinking of the failed assassination, anger flashed in Zhao Sheng's eyes.
What a pity that he failed to kill his good brother, failed to see Concubine Shu in agony, failed to avenge his mother and concubine, and even cut off his arm for this, losing the power he had finally managed to build.
Sooner or later, he will go back with revenge.
Seeing that he remained silent and the expression on his face changed again and again, as if he was stuck in some kind of emotion and couldn't extricate himself, Su Lingyu called out again.
"Your Majesty?"
Zhao Sheng came back to his senses and collected all his expressions. He knew the answer but did not say it directly. Instead, he said: "I know this and will help you check it out."
"But you have to tell me first why you want to investigate that woman?"
Su Lingyu hesitated for a moment and confessed: "She was originally a sister from my village. I want to know what happened to her after she left the village. Did she encounter anything bad? How could she be with His Highness Prince Jin?"
It was not that Su Lingyu suddenly became kindhearted and wanted to help this little girl from the same village. After all, to her, a person who had traveled from the 21st century, Su Yu was just a stranger.
She was just curious.
Curiosity is human nature, and Su Lingyu is not prepared to suppress it.
Zhao Sheng was not interested in her interpersonal relationships: "I know, I will check it for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this time, Zhao Ce was also thinking about Su Lingyu.
What kind of witchcraft was that just now, and who is that woman? It actually made him unable to control his body.
If Su Yu knew what he was thinking, she would tell him passionately that it was true love! It's exciting! It's fate!
It's a pity that Su Yu didn't know, and she was still regretting that she didn't meet the heroine when she came today.
The system suddenly made a correction: [We encountered it. 】
Su Yu was shocked: [Encountered something, the heroine? when? Why didn't you tell me? 】
The system licked its paws: [When I first entered, the person serving the dishes in the lobby was the hostess, who made the host not pay attention. 】
Su Yu: [...] Who would pay attention to a waiter serving dishes? The dignified boss actually went to serve the dishes, which was too down-to-earth for the heroine.
It is easy to feel sleepy after eating a full meal.
Su Yu leaned against the wall of the car, her body shaking and hypnotic. Suddenly, she thought of something in her heart.
In the original plot, the heroine was able to successfully open the restaurant because the male protagonist helped her frighten Xiao Xiao. Now that the male and female protagonists have not met, what is going on in the restaurant?
Su Yu was not ignorant of the unspoken rules of the capital.
Looking out through the curtain on the car wall that flutters in the wind, as far as the eye can see, there must be a force behind any large-scale store building, otherwise the store would have been closed down by some red-eyed monster.
So without the intimidation of the male protagonist, who would be the person behind Wuweizhai?
After thinking to no avail, Su Yu became more and more sleepy. She had been tortured by practicing calligraphy these days and had not slept well.
His head slowly lowered and his eyelids gradually closed.
Zhao Ce's shoulders suddenly sank, and his thoughts were interrupted. He glanced sideways and saw that the little girl closed her eyes and breathed evenly, sleeping soundly on his shoulder.
Zhao Ce's eyes softened and he whispered to the driver to drive slowly and steadily.
Maintaining this posture, the carriage drove slowly towards the palace.
After returning home, Zhao Ce did not wake up Su Yu, but directly picked her up and took her back to the house.
Chunmei had been frightened for a long time, and now she trembled when she saw Zhao Ce: "Wang, Wangye."
Until she saw the person being held in Zhao Ce's arms, the fear on her face was replaced by confusion.
It was over, something was wrong with her eyes, and she actually saw the prince walking in with the village girl in his arms. The village girl was sleeping soundly, and there seemed to be a glistening liquid at the corner of her mouth.
Not only Chunmei, but also the servants of the palace were suspicious of their eyes.
Because Zhao Ce carried Su Yu all the way back to the house, he met countless servants on the way. They spread the news quickly, and there was a sensation in the palace.
"Take good care of the girl."
Chunmei responded blankly: "Yes."
Zhao Ce glanced at her, said nothing, turned around and walked out, suddenly stopped when he reached the door, turned around and said, "When the girl wakes up, remember to remind her to finish practicing today's calligraphy."
"……yes."
Chunmei mourned for Su Yu for a second in her heart. Even if she fell asleep, she could not escape the curse of homework.
The housekeeper took the opportunity to come over and report: "Prince Qi, during your absence, someone from the palace came and said that your majesty and empress asked you to enter the palace quickly."
Enter the palace quickly?
"What happened?"
The steward said respectfully: "I don't know, old slave."
Zhao Ce was thoughtful, remembering what his mother and concubine had whispered in his ears some time ago, distress flashed in his eyes, and he vaguely guessed what it was about.
"I know, let's prepare the car."
