The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 260 Plum Blossom Jixue
When Zhou Xinyan saw Yu Wenhao, she was in a daze for a moment, and forgot how to answer.

It was Fu'er beside her who came to her senses and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your concern, His Royal Highness, our young lady has recovered."

Yu Wenhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he was in Chengxi Medical Center, Mulanyou said that she was seriously injured, and he kept thinking about her injury. Unexpectedly, he met her again today.

After Zhou Xinyan thanked her shyly, she lowered her head, her heart was pounding.

Feng Xihe turned his head, looked at Xia Haiyan, and asked, "I wonder if Lord Xia has explained to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and the other adults about the fire in the Shantang?"

Xia Haiyan's eyes darkened slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Yu Wenhao laughed loudly and said, "It's all clear, before coming here, Xia Shangshu and Master Xia handed over the results to me, and I didn't know until now. It turns out that the culprit of the arson was the wooden girl from Chengxi Medical Center."

"Unexpectedly, that girl with a bodhisattva heart, as elegant as an orchid, would be a member of the Yuezhao clan."

After all, Xia Haiyan's eyes became darker, and the envoys of the Hua Kingdom standing behind Yu Wenhao were obviously not happy, but they dared not say anything.

Seeing this, Feng Xihe already knew that Yu Wenhao was deliberately making big things into small things.

She remembered what Gu Shiyin had said, and Dai Mo frowned slightly, thinking that in order to snatch a woman, Emperor Changde could send troops to wash Yuezhao with blood. Speaking of which, the Yuezhao clan was also a victim.

Although the members of the Yuezhao clan were scattered all over the place, some of them may have been deceived and used by those with intentions. Therefore, over the years, so many Yuezhao secret agents have sneaked into Ningguo.

Feng Xihe was thinking, but everyone was silent.

Several people are crowded here, and the atmosphere is inevitably a little awkward.

Immediately, Yu Wenhao came to his senses and coughed lightly, "Master Xia, did you hear that the most famous dish in Zuixianlou is a dish called Plum Blossom Jixue? Today, why don't you introduce it to me."

Feng Xihe looked at Zhou Xinyan's earnest expression, and then rushed ahead of Xia Haiyan and said, "Master Xia is usually busy with business, so he doesn't come to Zuixianlou very often. Speaking of which, Mr. Ji and this lady know Zuixianlou better. , why not let them introduce it to His Highness."

With Ji Shiliu's company, others' speculation about Zhou Xinyan can be reduced.

Xia Haiyan looked around for a long time, but he didn't see Ji Shiliu, so he couldn't help being puzzled.

Then, seeing Zhou Xinyan's loving eyes with spring waves flowing, he immediately understood what Feng Xihe meant.

"That's right, Your Highness likes to play the piano. It just so happens that they are all good at playing the piano. After His Highness finishes his meal in Zuixianlou, you can learn how to play the piano with them." Xia Haiyan sincerely suggested.

Yu Wenhao felt that there was something weird about these people, but he thought they were too enthusiastic first.

So, after receiving the letter, Ji Shiliu, who was still at home, came here in a daze to eat and travel with her.

Half a day later, Yu Wenhao listened to Zhou Xinyan introduce several famous dishes of Jinling City in the Zuixian Tower. After eating, he followed her and Ji Shiliu to Xianle Pavilion to play the piano.

Xia Haiyan and Feng Xihe did not leave Zuixian Tower.

Feng Xihe lowered his voice and asked, "Master Xia came to Zuixianlou not only to accompany His Highness the eldest grandson today, right?"

Xia Haiyan nodded slightly, and whispered, "Am I here to find a cook?"

"cook?"

Xia Haiyan thought carefully: "Yes, at that time, after the shantang caught fire, I took people to search for other suspects. Basically, all the suspects committed suicide, but there was a smell of red silk pie on their hands, In the whole city, only the cooks of Zuixianlou can make that kind of red silk pie."

"So, I went to the cook as fast as I could. At that time, he was not there. Another cook in Zuixian Building said that on the day of the Cold Food Festival, a lady in black asked him to make a lot of red meat. Ling pie, Daigo cake, and frozen cheese."

"And the day the Shantang caught fire was around the time of the Cold Food Festival. So, I guess, the lady asked the chef of the Zuixianlou to make the food and distributed it to her subordinates, and the suspects were also members of it."

After Feng Xihe heard this, he thought about it silently. Red silk pies, Daigo cakes, and frozen cheese were not the original snacks in Jinling City. They were originally the favorites of the former empress.

After the first queen entered the palace, she seemed to like these dim sums very much. Emperor Changde ordered people to find cooks who could make these dim sums all over the country with generous rewards, and then, overnight, all the cooks They all competed to learn how to make these dim sum.

Since then, these dim sums have spread in Jinling City, and only the Zuixianlou family can make them well.

The reason is that the raw materials needed to make them are cow's milk, and there are not enough cows around Jinling, so cow's milk needs to be transported from distant pastoral areas. The general restaurants can't afford the high cost, but the original juice that they want to make The original flavor has very high requirements for the chef.

"How old is that lady?" Feng Xihe thought for a while, and then said, "I remember that there is no shortage of milk in the Riyue Mountain area. When I went to Riyue Mountain with my mother, I also tasted Daigo cake."

"So, the suspects you mentioned belong to the Yuezhao family just like your sister-in-law?"

Xia Haiyan nodded, affirming what she said, and then he said: "The cook didn't see too clearly. He said that she was covered with a veil, so she couldn't tell her actual age, but she could feel a very good age. Charm."

"The details will not be known until the cook who made dim sum for that lady comes back, so I left a message and asked him to wait for the cook who made dim sum to come back, first let the cook draw the characteristics of the lady, and then I will Come to Zuixianlou again today."

With that said, he followed Feng Xihe to the kitchen, looking for the cook.

However, the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou ran over in a panic, feeling utterly apologetic, "Lord Xia, I'm sorry, Lao Zhang's mother suffered from dysentery last night, so he rushed back to Qingzhou, there is no such thing as more than half a year, yes I can't come back."

Xia Haiyan frowned tightly. He just went to look for him last night, but the next day, he disappeared.

Feng Xihe thought about it, and said: "The Yuezhao people are not fools. Those who can arouse their hatred and make them willing to sneak into Ningguo for revenge, except for themselves, it is difficult for others to have the ability to make them convince."

Xia Haiyan frowned, "You mean she is also from the Yuezhao clan?"

Feng Xihe nodded, but she also had a question, "I heard from Prince Yu that my grandfather not only violated the sacred will, but did not wash Yuezhao with blood, but properly settled the Yuezhao people. Why did she want to mislead Yuezhao? tribe?"

"Could it be that she has a very close relationship with the former empress, and there is something hidden in it that we don't know?"

Xia Haiyan's eyes were deep, and he was slowly thinking.

After a while, Feng Xihe remembered the group of assassins he met in Weicheng, and continued: "Besides, the Yuezhao clan only has tens of thousands of people, and they are not rich. What's more, after being scattered to various places, their strength has been greatly weakened." .”

"Then how did she cultivate a group of assassins who treat death as home, and form her own forces in Ningguo, unless there is another backer behind her."

After she finished speaking, Xia Haiyan's eyes suddenly lit up, "I remembered that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Hua Kingdom, revealed intentionally or unintentionally that the Fourth Prince of the Hua Kingdom is likely to be in Jinling City, so let me pay more attention."

"The one who became a monk for love and escaped into Buddhism?" Feng Xihe asked, Xia Haiyan nodded, and then he said in detail: "It was announced to the outside world that he had escaped into Buddhism, but after many years, his whereabouts were found in another country , which is really suspicious."

"Could it be that becoming a monk is just a cover, for better deployment is his purpose."

It seemed that from now on, he was going to look for these two people at the same time.

"Lord Xia, you can be more considerate to His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Feng Xihe recalled that at that time, in Feng Guogong's mansion, Mulanyou received a slap, and after she hurt Gu Shiyin, Gu Jincheng followed closely and came When he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he said that he would arrest the rebels.

She wouldn't believe it if all of this was a coincidence.

Xia Haiyan silently agreed, and as Gu Jincheng's ambitions were gradually exposed, he set his sights on Gu Jincheng early in the morning.

After half a day passed, Yu Wenhao and Ji Shiliu, who had gone to Xianle Pavilion, returned to Zuixianlou and met Xia Haiyan.

Yu Wenhao was in a good mood. Although it was only half a day, he felt like he had found a bosom friend.

Ji Shiliu's qin sound was extraordinary, and the tune played by Zhou Xinyan was also like fairy music.He sighed in his heart, why didn't he meet the two of them earlier.

Feng Xihe didn't see Zhou Xinyan, so he turned to Yu Wenhao and asked, "Miss Zhou is gone?"

"Going home." Yu Wenhao replied casually, and then, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and said dumbfounded: "Which Miss Zhou?"

When he was in Zuixian Tower, he was intoxicated by the various delicacies she introduced, and when he was in Xianle Pavilion, he was also intoxicated by her music, which made him forget the serious matter of asking people's names.

Feng Xihe chuckled, "It turns out that you don't know, His Royal Highness, that Miss Zhou you've been thinking about is right in front of your eyes just now."

"Before, I also asked her to go to the shantang, but there was a fire that day, and both of you were injured, so I had time to tell you about it."

Yu Wenhao was completely stunned. He walked quickly to the door, staring blankly at the carriage ruts on the ground, and remained motionless.

The envoys were puzzled and thought that something serious had happened, so they came forward to ask with concern.

Yu Wenhao remembered the arrow wound on Zhou Xinyan's shoulder he saw when he was in the medical center last time, and asked suddenly: "The day I first came to Jinling City, my palace was conceived by someone in the palace. After waking up, You said that the assassins appeared, and they were instigated by the head of Anle County."

"Did that Miss Zhou be there when the assassin appeared?"

Several envoys were slightly surprised, unexpectedly, Yu Wenhao would bring up this matter again.

Yu Wenhao closed his eyes slightly, annoyed in his heart, he should have figured out her identity long ago, instead of being confused by a portrait.
