Qingnu's pretty face was slightly distorted for a moment, and she said sadly: "Look at what you said, if I don't take a few breaths of your yang energy tonight, I won't be able to explain it."
Xiao Chenyan handed over the food box next to him: "Eat first."
Qingnu's eyes lit up when she opened it. The food box contained various kinds of snacks and fruits. They were all beautifully shaped and looked like flowers. They looked lifelike.
"Where did it come from?"
"Leftovers from the imperial kitchen."
Qing Wu looked at him sideways and said, "Aren't you so busy working in the household department every day that you're like a headless fly?"
Xiao Chenyan didn't answer, he just took the snacks casually.
It is indeed not leftover from the imperial kitchen, but the kitchen in charge of the household department happens to be from the imperial kitchen. He is very good at craftsmanship and is the best at snacks.
I expected that she would make a big fuss today and wouldn't know how to eat, so I asked them to prepare it.
After having some snacks to feed her, Qing Wu didn't beat around the bush and said, "I used to wonder how the dongong idiot with such virtue could become the crown prince."
"After taking this trip today, it becomes clear."
"Because there is a non-human being beside him?" Xiao Chenyan asked.
"That's right, but people are more irritating than people." Qing Wu said while eating: "You have evil wind entering your bones and evil energy entering your life. He is blessed with good fortune. Even if he is as stupid as a pig, someone will pour good fortune into his body."
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling ironic about this statement.
"You must know the prince better than I do. Before you return to the capital, he should be living a smooth life, right?"
Xiao Chenyan was noncommittal.
Qing Wu shrugged: "That's right, the helper beside him is working hard for him, but..."
Qing Wu smiled and mocked: "Man's misfortunes and blessings are determined by fate and cause and effect. The prince has done a lot of stupid things in recent years. Even if his helpers try to fend off disasters for him, the blessings will eventually run out."
"In the end, the cycle of cause and effect doubled the retribution. Disaster marks appeared on the prince's face, and his helpers couldn't help him for much longer."
After Qing Wu finished speaking, she sneered: "Stupid."
Xiao Chenyan suddenly tapped her forehead, and Qingwu glared at him: "What are you doing!"
"After a long round of detours, you didn't say who the prince's assistant was?"
Qing Wu was furious: "I didn't see you! How could I know!"
"Is there anything else you don't know?" Xiao Chenyan looked at her with a half-smile.
Qing Wu rolled her eyes: "She's just one of his concubines anyway. Don't worry, she's not the crown prince."
"What's going on with the flower mud thing?"
Qing Wu frowned and curled her lips: "The Crown Princess didn't do it, but she's not innocent either. Those who became Hua Ni died because of the Crown Princess, and she bears a heavy debt."
"As for why it was made into flower clay, someone probably wanted to teach the Crown Princess a lesson!"
As for whether it was the 'mysterious helper' among the crown prince's concubines, Qingnu didn't mention it. Even if it was, it didn't matter. After all, it was the people in the East Palace who were dog-eat-dog.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her for a while: "These are the only gains today?"
"There's something else." Qing Wu casually mentioned the old emperor's harem: "Your imperial grandfather is really crazy about seeking immortality, and he actually targets his own concubines."
Qing Wu sneered: "The layout of his current harem and his dormitory are just like the yin and yang of Pisces. The yang dragon suppresses the yin phoenix, and the yin life is used to strengthen the yang life. The women in the harem have become firewood to increase his life."
Xiao Chenyan suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze extremely sharp.
Qing Wu ate some snacks and waited for his next words.
There was silence in the car for a long time. The man did not question it, but the pressure on his body became more and more severe. His eyes were extremely cold and sarcastic.
"How to break this pattern?"
Qing Wu had finished the last piece of snack and was a little exhausted, but she looked satisfied with Xiao Chenyan's expression.
"It's simple. I'll prepare something when I go back. You just have to find a way to put the things in the old emperor's palace."
Xiao Chenyan nodded: "Okay."
Seeing his gloomy look, Qing Wu asked more: "You don't have any doubt at all?"
"It doesn't matter whether he did it or not, and it doesn't matter whether he was kept in the dark. He is the beneficiary anyway." Xiao Chenyan mocked in his voice. Even if his imperial grandfather did something even more ridiculous, he would be the one to blame. Wouldn't be surprised.
As early as ten years ago, he had already recognized the true face of his imperial grandfather.
The emperor is ruthless.
Even if they are biological father and son, they can still fight each other with weapons if they threaten their status, let alone a woman.
Qing Wu looked at him and tilted her head: "Who asked you this? It's obvious that you don't trust the old emperor. I'm asking, have you ever suspected that I was lying to you?"
Xiao Chenyan met her gaze, and the coldness in his eyes gradually receded.
Do you doubt Qing Wu?
When she first 'married in', he was indeed wary and suspicious, but now...
Xiao Chenyan retracted his thoughts and replied: "Don't doubt the people who are suspicious of you, but don't doubt the people you employ."
This answer can be called official.
Qing Wu immediately raised her nose and leaned forward with a smile: "The way to break the situation is very simple, but it costs money, at least seven to eight or nine hundred thousand taels."
The man instantly became expressionless and added coldly: "You don't have to be suspicious of people, but you still have to be suspicious of ghosts."
A certain ghost: A man’s mouth is a ghost that deceives women!
I bother! Xiao Yantai, you stingy person!
Xiao Chenyan still had something to deal with at the household department, so he just sent her to the door of his house. Before Qingnu left, she bit the back of his hand bitterly.
The main character is unreasonable and willful.
Xiao Chenyan also let her bite, it was just like a kitten tickling.
"By the way, do you still have contact with your seventh uncle?" Qingwu said suddenly before getting out of the car.
When mentioning the Seventh Prince, Xiao Chenyan's eyes moved slightly and he hummed.
Qing Wu: "You can send someone to investigate the death of the noble man."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes changed suddenly.
When Qingnu saw the pattern of yang dragon overwhelming yin phoenix, she took out the birth and death book to check the yang life of the virtuous and noble people.
It is clearly written in the book of life and death that the other party has accumulated good deeds and has a lifespan of seventy years, so he should die.
But when the noble man died, he was clearly not yet forty.
Where did the thirty-year-old Yang Shou go?
"I understand." Xiao Chenyan's voice was extremely cold.
Qing Wu nodded and said nothing more.
As for the Crown Princess making a fuss about Xie Shu and her today, Qingnu didn't mention it. It was a small matter, not important, and she didn't worry about it at all.
Xiao Chenyan sat on the carriage and calmed down his breathing before giving the order to return to the palace.
Baisui was called into the carriage by him.
"Have someone send a letter to Nanling." Xiao Chenyan said in a cold voice, "Ask about Uncle Qi's current situation."
Baisui accepted the order. He thought about it and mentioned something that Qingnu didn't say.
After hearing this, Xiao Chenyan's expression became even colder.
Bai Sui said: "The prince has made it clear to the outside world about the princess and Xie Shu, and the only outsiders who know what happened are the officials from Dali Temple who were with Xie Shu that day."
"This time the Crown Princess made a big fuss about this matter. It's only possible that those people didn't keep their mouths shut and talked nonsense to the outside world."
Xiao Chenyan said lightly: "Before going to the Ministry of Finance, let's go to Dali Temple first."
