Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

If he hadn't known Ji Wuyan's identity early in the morning, he might have believed her nonsense right now.

Li Yuqi thought of the failed assassination, and of those assassins whose corpses could not be found so far. You Feng said that it was Ning Xiuyuan's handwriting, but Li Yuqi knew in his heart—Ji Wuyan really had that ability of.

He concealed the gloom in his heart, but had a calm and gentle smile on his face, "The girl seems to be a blessed person."

"Then I will accept His Highness's auspicious words." Ji Wuyan nodded slowly, saluted again, turned around and sat down.

No one asked him to sit down, so he just stood there, always feeling somewhat awkward, but fortunately there was no one else on the second floor here, and only he knew the embarrassment of the prince of a country standing and talking.Li Yuqi pinched his palm, wondering if it was his illusion, Ji Wuyan looks different today than usual.

A person, or that person, is just like a wind blowing off the dust on the pearl, and suddenly revealing the inner core, which is shining with light, which sometimes feels glaring.It's also like a layer of soft cotton is wrapped around your body. No matter how hard you try or how hard you use, the other party will still smile as usual, and you can't tell if it's half true or false.

Needle hidden in cotton.

Li Yuqi pointed to the empty chair, and asked Ji Wuyan nonchalantly, "Can I...can sit?"

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Chu had already refused, "Sorry, I can't." When he said this, he didn't even raise his head, with a slightly cold voice, he was lying quietly against the back of the chair with the jade ball in his palm.

Didn't give half a cent of affection.

Li Yuqi's face turned ugly instantly, and he looked at Ji Wuyan with a dark face.In his impression, Ji Wuyan is considered a smart person and a showman, even if the two sides do not deal with each other, they will not put it on the bright side.

He waited for Ji Wuyan to invite him to sit down.

Unexpectedly, the "scene girl" just slightly raised her head to look over, her face still had that gentle but distant expression on her face, "Young Master Chu is in charge today, so it's really hard for my little girl to step in and take over."

Shangguan Chu raised his eyes to look over, and finally gave Li Yuqi a serious look, "His Royal Highness... the court has not given a clear result about Xiaoyuan's matter so far, but no matter what, Xiaoyuan has married into the East Palace. , it is someone from your East Palace, since something happened to her, it is because of your lack of protection as a husband. Although I am a commoner, I do not want to sit with His Highness the Crown Prince because of this, so His Highness should understand."

Li Yuqi was startled.

He didn't expect Shangguan Chu to be so arrogant that he would directly bring this matter to the surface.

The fire in the Chongren Temple, coupled with the rumors that were guided by people with good intentions, also has the suspicion of "killing his wife", but there is no evidence in the end, and the rumors are just rumors.

But even so, it is true that his reputation plummeted during that time.

If Shangguan Chu took advantage of this to make trouble, he would have many reasons to refute, and even take him down and punish him, but he only said that the protection was not effective... Li Yuqi clenched his palms tightly, and was about to speak when suddenly there was a commotion downstairs.

The sound was not low, the movement was quite loud, the sound of disputes and fighting mixed with cursing and screaming, it was a mess.

Li Yuqi seemed very surprised, and nodded to his two subordinates, "Go down and see what happened."

In fact, you don't have to go down to see it. Sitting in Ji Wuyan's seat, it happens to be Li Yanxian's restaurant diagonally opposite, which is also the place where the riot happened.

It looked like someone was drunk and was making trouble with the strength of the alcohol. During the cursing, he could vaguely hear words such as "this wine is mixed with water", "fake wine", "profiteer" and so on, as well as pointing fingers at the Li family .

Someone picked up a table and chair and threw it on the ground, and accidentally brought the guests who were drinking at another table.

Somebody, with an unknown amount of alcohol, pointed at the sky with his hips akimbo and cursed. When he got excited, he lifted a stool and climbed up, trying to smash the signboard.

The shopkeeper Xiao Er stopped this one but couldn't stop that one. When he was in a hurry, the scene got out of control for a while.

Ji Wuyan looked at it coldly with his chin propped up, as if there was something really unrelated to his indifference.She had some doubts that it was her brother's handwriting, but she also felt that her brother had never used such inferior means to attack opponents in these years, so she was not sure for a while, but Li Yuqi was nearby, so it was not easy for her to ask.

I vaguely felt that it was quite a coincidence that Li Yuqi appeared here, maybe it was Li Yuqi's hands.

"I heard... this is the wine shop opened by the Prince of Jiangdu, won't His Royal Highness go and see it in person?" Ji Wuyan looked sideways at Li Yuqi, "It seems that the Prince of Jiangdu is not here."

Li Yuqi stood there, shaking his head, "Fortunately, he is not here. These are all his hard work, and they were suddenly destroyed. I am afraid that he will be rushed... He has always been in poor health. If he falls down again because of this, Concubine Xian will be hurt again." .”

Ji Wuyan nodded, and then fell silent.

There were only the three of them on the second floor, Shangguan Chu lowered his head and turned the jade in his hand, not looking at anyone, as if the sky collapsed outside had nothing to do with him.Ji Wuyan looked at it with his hands propped up, his face was pale and he didn't seem to be watching a play, but just bored watching passers-by coming and going.

Li Yuqi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his calm expression was almost the same as Ji Wuyan's.

The noise outside the window was almost boiling.

But across the street dozens of steps away, it was so quiet that it was almost solemn.

The two attendants came back soon, and honestly lowered their heads to report, "Your Highness, the wine shop of the Prince of Jiangdu was smashed, and it was suspected of being a drunk. They accused the Prince of Jiangdu of mixing water in the wine he sold."

Nonsense... Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.Ji Wuyan rested her chin in dismay. She looked here for a long time. The two went down and came up again, but they never walked out of the gate of this teahouse and crossed this road to the opposite side to help, lend a hand, or even go to the opposite side. Just asking if I need help...

Really... a bad show, and a bad actor.

These two guards are, those drunkards are, and Li Yuqi who planned this farce... even more so.

She is very sure now that Shangguan Chu must not be involved in this not-so-intelligent farce.

She still didn't look back, she just said softly, "I heard that except for Xinghua Niang, all other wines are only sold for five cents a bowl."

Li Yuqi nodded, "That's true. Before, Ben Gong told Yan that he would not earn money in this way. If he really wants to start a business and open a restaurant, Ben Gong can give him money to help him open a large restaurant in Dongshi. I don't want to. Hey..."

"The prince is benevolent." Ji Wuyan lazily perfunctory, then suddenly murmured softly, "There are seven or eight wine shops in Xishi, big and small, and the prices are basically the same. Full wine, knowing it well...is mixed with water."

Li Yuqi froze all over.
