The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Confrontation

 The sound of carriages and carriages coming from the street was particularly clear in the dead of night.

In Wensheng Restaurant, Zhao Lan was sitting by the window, holding chess pieces in his hand, playing chess with himself. When he heard the sound of carriages on the street, he stopped holding the chess pieces and concentrated his energy to listen to the street.

Shuangrui walked to the window like a cat and looked out through the window crack.

Opposite the restaurant, there is also a restaurant. The sign on the top of the door frame reads - Xifu Building.

Hearing the sound, the doorman hurriedly came out to welcome him. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the owner was here. He hurriedly came up to say hello.

Cui Gu waved her hand.

The doorman immediately fell silent and quickly led the young boss into the restaurant.

Cui Gu glared at the doorman with stern eyes, "Don't talk nonsense about the little boss coming to check the accounts."

 “Yes, yes, I know.”

The little lady wearing a hat habitually stopped when she entered the door, turned her head and looked towards the restaurant across the street. The lights on the other side were bright, but she only looked at the highest window.

In the night, the light shines through the window, reflecting the silhouette of the statue as bright as the moon, standing against the mountains.

Just looking at the silhouette in the light made her heart beat. What would it be like if they were face to face.

Xie Qingyu couldn't help but stretched out her hand to lift the hat curtain to see clearly. Cui Gu couldn't help reminding her, "Madam..." She then realized that she was losing her temper and quickly put down her hand. Cui Gu took the hat curtain from her head.

She quickly walked up to her room, gasped and stood in front of the window, gently opened the window a little, and looked at the silhouette in the restaurant opposite through the crack in the window, like the bright moon, like the breeze, which made her soul enchanted. Dreams linger.

She thought, it should be soon... It should be soon... After tomorrow, that woman will disappear from this world, and then... Prince Zhao will re-negotiate the marriage. She is the Queen's niece, and it will definitely be her this time.

　　　with him.

 What kind of picture should that be? Is it about holding hands to enjoy spring together in early spring, or sitting next to a lotus pond blowing the wind in summer? Or stand on the top of the mountain planting dogwoods and admiring chrysanthemums when the autumn wind blows, or play chess in the Nuan Pavilion for leisure in winter?

 In the dead of night, people are quiet, and the wind blows and the candles flicker.

I don't know how long I looked at it, and I don't know how far I thought about it. Xie Qingyu blinked his sore eyes and sighed deeply, it's faster... it's faster... hold on... hold on... it's faster.

 She turned around with a smile on her face.

 “(⊙o⊙)Ah!” A scream broke the tranquility of the night.

Xie Qingyu thought she was dazzled and rubbed her eyes with her hands.

In front of him, the man who was thinking about him day and night was tall and tall. He was wearing an indigo satin robe. Although he wore a thin dark green cloud cloak, it could not hide his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

The eyebrows are like ink paintings, and the temples are like knife cuts.

"You...you..." She quickly turned her head to look across the way. The shadow in the window was still there, still playing chess with herself. If the shadow in the window opposite was not him, who was it? Xie Qingyu's heart suddenly beat violently.

After all, she was immersed in the aura of a famous aristocrat, and because her aunt was a queen and frequently visited the palace, her character and ability to deal with troubles had been developed, so she quickly stabilized her mood.

Smiled slightly, "It's midnight, I wonder why Prince Zhao Xiao came to my Xie Family Restaurant?"

Zhao Lan also smiled softly.

Walked to the window where she once stood, opened the window, and felt a gust of evening breeze blowing in her face.

 The room felt a little cold for a moment due to the blowing wind.

Xie Qingyu shivered unconsciously. Her maid was about to have a seizure, but Shuang Rui and others immediately stopped her.

She became angry and said, "Prince Zhao, what do you mean? This is my Xie family restaurant, and I am not an ordinary citizen..." You can bully me at will.

“Miss Xie Wu was spying on Zhao through this window?” After saying that, he turned his head and looked at her coldly.

Xie Qingyu's face suddenly turned pale, and she instantly endured the shame of being exposed, and pretended to be calm, "I don't understand what Xiaojunwang Zhao is talking about."

Zhao Lan turned around and put his hands gently on the window lattice, looking at the starry night sky. The wind blew a strand of long hair on his temples, giving it a hint of floating clouds and cranes.

In terms of psychology, how could she, a secluded lady, be the opponent of the deputy governor of the Imperial City?

The sudden silence made Xie Qingyu uneasy. Just when she wondered whether Zhao Lan knew that it was not Ning Ning who had committed the murder, he turned his head leisurely, with a deep and silent look in his eyes, and he was born with a good appearance.

Knowing that now was not the time to look at beautiful men, Xie Qingyu avoided his gaze and looked out the window, "Prince Xiaojun Zhao doesn't think the scenery from my window is better than yours, right?"

 After saying that, she raised her chin slightly and met his gaze fearlessly.

 At this moment, his eyes belonged to her.

 No matter the status, she deserves it.

“Who gave you the Qihuasan poison?”

She guessed that he knew something, but she didn't expect him to say it so straightforwardly.

“Prince Xiaojun Zhao, if you think the view from my window is better than your restaurant, I can give it to you, but I really don't know what you are talking about.”

Zhao Lan sneered, "There are so many young ladies in the capital who admire me, but there are really none like you."

"Who admires you?" Xie Qingyu instinctively wanted to show respect, so she refused to admit it and scoffed instead.

"Really?" Zhao Lan raised her lips, "Whenever I come to Wensheng Restaurant, the window is either half-open or leaking. Do you think my men are blind?"

Xie Qingyu was stunned and immediately counterattacked, "Does it mean that my servants or shopkeepers working here don't even have the right to open the windows? Even my uncle, the emperor, won't stop his subjects from opening the windows, right?"

Zhao Lan raised her head and said, "Thank you, Fifth Miss, you probably don't know what position I, Zhao Lan, hold, right?"

Xie Qingyu frowned, "Isn't Prince Zhao Xiaojun the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department and the envoy in charge of the imperial guard?" This is Zhao Lanming's official position.

 Zhao Lan turned around and walked to Xie Qingyu.

 There was only half an arm's length between the two of them.

 One is tall and the other is short.

The evening breeze blew in through the window, bringing with it the pleasant smell of soap on the man's body. Xie Qingyu almost became confused and bit her lower lip secretly. The pain stimulated her to wake up.

 Looking up, waiting for his answer.

 “My master is the deputy commander of the Exploration Department.”

 It was Shuangrui who answered.

Zhao Lan asked softly, "Miss Xie Wu, do you know what the Detective Department does?"

It is really possible for an ordinary young lady not to know, but Xie Qingyu's aunt is now the queen. Due to the influence of the environment, Xie Qingyu certainly knows.

His face suddenly changed, "You..." His head buzzed, and all the gentleness of a man was gone, only fear remained. Could it be that... could it be... that he knew everything?

"Chu, named Yang, deliberately wanted to kill A Jin. As the queen's niece, she colluded with the Liaoxia people to kill the daughter of an official. What do you think would happen if the emperor and the queen knew about it?"

"You...I...I don't know what you are talking about?" Xie Qingyu looked away, with a calm expression on his face.

 Zhao Lan waved his hand.

"Hmm..." A woman was cut behind her back, her hands were tied, and her mouth was tied. She screamed when she saw Xie Qingyu.

Zhao Lan looked at Xie Qingyu, whose face turned pale again, "Her name is Hong Gu, is she yours?"

Honggu had just left Xie Guogong's mansion half an hour ago, and was going to see if the person who gave the poison was in danger. Unexpectedly... Xie Qingyu's heart was completely confused.

Zhao Lan remained calm and took the opportunity to pursue her, "Is it Majia Alley or West Street Alley?" He stared at the other party without blinking, paying attention to the smallest muscle movement on her face.

 What is the head of the Detective Department best at? Of course, when it comes to attacking the heart, you can judge the answer from the prisoner's micro-expression.

Xie Qingyu's eyes visibly flashed when she heard about West Street Alley.

 Such an obvious action caught Zhao Lan's eyes.

 He waved his hand.

 Santai has taken the order and left.

Hearing the noise, Xie Qingyu panicked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Lan glanced at her again, turned around abruptly, the corners of his cloak fluttered, and as the young man left, the wind was blowing.

Xie Qingyu shouted, "Zhao Lan...Zhao Lan..."

Zhao Lan stopped, but did not turn around, "If the contract is not terminated, even if she is the queen's niece, I, Zhao Lan, will kill her without fail."

 After speaking, his back was as straight as a green bamboo, and he left Xie Qingyu's sight.

 Xie Qingyu fell to the ground.

Honggu was dragged away by Shuangrui. She screamed anxiously: "Uh-huh..."

Seeing that Honggu was about to be taken away, the distinguished Xie Qingyu went directly to drag her away.

Shuangrui warned, "Miss Xie Wu, who knows where I took this woman away from?"

Xie Qingyu suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Shuangrui in surprise, eager to see something in Shuangrui's eyes. Unfortunately, Shuangrui didn't say anything and took the opportunity to pull him away.

She subconsciously tried to grab the person, but then subconsciously let go.

Honggu's news was true, but the three places were true and false, and she didn't know where the poison and antidote were on her body.

Suddenly, Xie Qingyu seemed to understand something. She quickly got up and stood at the window again to look across. There was no light in the highest window, and it was dark.

"It turns out...it turns out...he knew it a long time ago and made a show to lure me out. I..." The tender-hearted woman suddenly became ferocious, raising her head and laughing, "There is only poison, no antidote..." "

 Still not dead.

On the way to Majiaxiang, Santai asked worriedly, "Master, what if there is no antidote?"

 “The poison is the antidote.”

 “What?” Santai almost fell off the galloping horse.

Half an hour later, Zhao Lan and Wei Shizi joined forces to attack in the east and west, and caught the person who made the poison. He was Liu Yifeng's adopted son.

Although Liu Yifeng was old, before he died, it was this adopted apprentice who poisoned Liu Yifeng to make money from poison.

But what everyone didn't know was that Eunuch Tu and Liu Yifeng in the palace were brothers from the same family. By chance, Eunuch Tu met the Holy Emperor when he was still King Yan, became his disciple, followed him to the throne and entered the palace, and became a father-in-law. .

Zhao Lan was right. Fruits have their own antidote. Wherever poisonous snakes appear, there must be an antidote within seven steps. Since Qihua San can appear, there must be an antidote for Qihua San.

Although Eunuch Tu didn't know how to make Qihuasan poison, nor the antidote, he and Liu Yifeng were once in the same school, and he accidentally learned that the flowers of the plant used to make Qihuasan are highly poisonous, but the roots are the antidote. .

After the Qihuasan poison is prepared, it must be taken within seven days, otherwise the poison will slowly disappear. Therefore, the person making the poison must bring Qihuasan with him.

When he caught the adopted disciple, he was living in an inn as a flower seller. Zhao Lan brought the flowers with him.
