Chapter 325 Walls Have Ears
Qingfeng shook the fan in his hand, then put it away and walked to the couch.
He happened to see Princess Dingyuan's eyelids move slightly.
Qingfeng pretended not to see it.
He knew that the junior sister had saved Princess Dingyuan.
She was pretending to be asleep now.
But Qingfeng did not expose her. He just pretended to count with his fingers for a while, then frowned and said, "The princess is not sick, nor is she poisoned.
The reason why she is unconscious is that her soul has been taken away."
Seeing his serious face, King Dingyuan did not doubt him, "Does the prince have a solution?"
Qingfeng's brows were still frowned, "There is a solution, but the time is not right, please wait."
King Dingyuan had no other choice but to wait as he was told.
Han Lin looked at Qingfeng, who was serious. Although he didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, his mother agreed to cooperate, so he could only pretend to know nothing.
However, he felt a little guilty for hiding it from his father.
But there was no other way. As a son, he could only obey his mother's decision.
Han Lin only hoped that his mother would protect him a little after his father knew that he had been deceived.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would suffer.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Qingfeng speaking with a smile.
"My Lord, to be honest, I borrowed your name to do something today."
The teacup in the hand of King Dingyuan paused, looked over suspiciously, and said in a deep voice, "What is it?"
Facing his cold and solemn aura, Qingfeng's smile on his face did not change, "My Lord, don't worry, it's not a big deal."
King Dingyuan didn't quite believe it.
The couple of King Rui gave birth to three daughters in a row, and only gave birth to such a legitimate son when they were old, so they inevitably doted on him.
He remembered that the prince of King Rui did a lot of things when he was a playboy when he was young, and even the emperor had a headache.
Qingfeng continued to smile, "Your Highness, my junior sister is the eldest daughter of the Ling family.
I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and I think everyone has forgotten that there is such a person as me.
So, I borrowed the name of Your Highness to send a letter to the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, inviting him, his wife, and his eldest son to come to Chayueju to taste tea together."
After a pause, Qingfeng put down the folding fan in his hand and bowed to King Dingyuan, "I will do it first and then report it. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Han Lin's eyes widened slightly. This Xiao Shizi is really brave. He dared to act in his name without his father's consent.
King Dingyuan felt a little relieved. He had thought of many bad things just now.
For a moment, he even suspected that he was going to rebel in his name.
This Xiao Shizi has always been bold, but fortunately he has a sense of propriety and did not break the sky.
It is really not a big deal to invite the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to taste tea in his name.
Although he was glad that Qingfeng didn't do anything wrong, King Dingyuan didn't show it on his face.
He just looked at him expressionlessly, and after a while, he said seriously, "It won't happen again next time."
Qingfeng nodded respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there won't be a next time."
King Dingyuan glanced at him sideways, but didn't believe him much.
Qingfeng said that he invited Ling Mao and others to come here to taste tea, but it was just a nice thing to say. Presumably, he saw that Miss Ling was wronged and wanted to support his junior sister.
King Dingyuan had a good impression of Miss Ling.
Last time at the palace banquet, he saved the princess' life, and he knew that the lady liked the little girl very much.
Now that the princess still needs Qingfeng to save her life, King Dingyuan can't blame him.
Just think of it as a thank you for their kindness to the palace.
Ning Chuyi sat quietly drinking tea, and only raised his hand to refill their tea when Qingfeng and King Dingyuan's teacups were empty.
Several people were drinking tea and chatting when the door of the private room was suddenly knocked.
It turned out that three people from the Ling Mansion had arrived.
Seeing the father and son of King Dingyuan, Ling Mao and the other two were all smiles.
But when they saw Ning Chuyi and another young man in white robes, the smiles on their faces froze.
With outsiders present, they had no way to discuss the restoration of King Dingyuan.
Although they were dissatisfied, Ling Mao and the other two did not dare to show it.
Soon they raised their smiles, entered the private room, and greeted King Dingyuan enthusiastically.
But when they got closer, they accidentally saw Princess Dingyuan sleeping on the soft couch beside them, and they couldn't help being surprised.
However, seeing that King Dingyuan and his son looked indifferent, Ling Mao and the others didn't dare to ask more.
Qingfeng was very enthusiastic. After asking them to sit down, he asked the waiter to serve tea.
Then he praised the tea.
Ling Mao's heart sank. It seemed that Prince Dingyuan didn't want to talk to him about reinstatement.
Sure enough, after sitting for more than a quarter of an hour, Prince Dingyuan didn't mention the topic of reinstatement at all.
His attitude could even be said to be unusually cold.
He only echoed the topic of the young man in white robe from time to time.
The prince of Prince Dingyuan was similar.
As for the commander of the Jinyiwei, his expression was even colder and he rarely spoke.
But if he said he invited them to taste tea, it didn't look like it.
Ling Mao and the other two were suspicious and couldn't guess what Prince Dingyuan's purpose was in inviting them here.
They could only sit by the side anxiously.
After two rounds of tea, a waiter brought in two plates of snacks.
While everyone was listening to Qingfeng's words, the waiter quickly glanced at Ning Chuyi.
After the waiter left, Ning Chuyi suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, the Jinyiwei are investigating a case in the private room next door. If you hear any noise, please ignore it and keep quiet."
Prince Dingyuan was a little suspicious and glanced at Ning Chuyi, but he didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.
Even Prince Dingyuan had to cooperate with the Jinyiwei in handling the case, so Ling Mao and the other two dared not have any opinions.
Han Lin glanced at Ning Chuyi, then at Qingfeng, and said nothing, lowering his eyes to drink tea.
Prince Dingyuan glanced at him and felt that his eldest son seemed a little too quiet today.
Having noticed his gaze, Han Lin complained in his heart, but didn't dare to show it.
Prince Dingyuan and his friends suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming. It seemed that a waiter had called someone to the private room next door.
But it soon became quiet again.
Although the lady and the others were a little curious about what case the Jinyiwei was handling, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb when they thought of what Ning Chuyi had just said.
Qingfeng glanced at the expressions of the few people, and smiled and praised the two plates of snacks again.
Prince Dingyuan looked at him suspiciously. If he didn't want to support Miss Ling, why didn't he say anything? Instead, he praised the tea and snacks again and again.
It's impossible that he invited the three people from the Ling Mansion to come here just for tea tasting, right?
Just as he was suspicious, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from next door, followed by a dissatisfied female voice, "Mom, why did you come just now? I've been waiting for a long time."
Prince Dingyuan suddenly frowned. Why did this voice sound so much like Han Yao?
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the soft couch.
No, the princess is still here. The girl next door called her mother. She couldn't be Han Yao.
And Han Yao injured her leg and couldn't walk, so how could she come to Chayueju.
But... that voice just now really sounded like Han Yao's.
