After I traveled through the book, I spoiled the anorexic prince
Chapter 121 Jing Se Aids the King
The waiter was so frightened that he collapsed on the spot, stammering and unable to utter a word, for he was afraid that the sword on his neck would cut him into pieces if he was not careful.
The little beggar had been guarding the restaurant with his brother Cao'er early this morning. He was unwilling to see his sister, who had just escaped from the wolf's den, fall into the tiger's mouth in an instant. When he heard the waiter say that the master of the restaurant wanted to give his sister away, his eyes turned red immediately and he rushed up to beat up the waiter who bullied the good and feared the evil.
"Give me back my sister!" The little beggar's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he cried, "It was you and Shopkeeper Wang who took my sister away by force. Give me back my sister!"
Cao Er held down Xiao Er's struggling legs and punched him in the stomach again and again, crying, "If anything happens to my sister, you won't have a good life either. I will kill you even if I have to!"
Xie Fuyi moved his sword-holding hand slightly further away and looked silently at the two children in great pain with his eyes lowered.
Wei Yanshi waited until they had vented their anger before he raised his hand to signal his men to pull the man away. Following Xie Fuyi's words, he asked the waiter who was beaten and begging for mercy, "Who are you sending?"
The waiter curled up on the ground and moaned, not daring to hide anything: "I heard by accident that it was to be given to the Southern Land Prince Wei who suddenly appeared a few days ago... I have told you all what I know, please stop beating me, I beg you to spare my life..."
King Pan of the South, Wei Yanshi, stared at the person on the ground expressionlessly. Xie Fuyi pointed his sword directly at Wei Yanshi in an instant. For a moment, the black-robed guards and soldiers in the restaurant clenched their weapons and pointed them at Xie Fuyi to protect their master.
Gu Qinghe was sitting in the carriage outside. He didn't hear anything clearly before he saw the internal quarrel among them. He didn't care about his status as a poor and powerless person and got off the carriage and walked into the restaurant.
"Brother," Gu Qinghe looked at Xie Fuyi, the man in black who had drawn his sword first, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Hearing this name again, Xie Fuyi was still not used to it. When she stared at Wei Yan with a cold face, the words she said were indeed in response to Gu Qinghe's question: "He is the culprit."
Wei Yanshi was so exhausted that he didn't dare to look Gu Qinghe in the eye. He lowered his eyes and asked the waiter on the ground in a calm voice, "What are the characteristics of the King Pan of the South you mentioned?"
He didn't remember any young master coming to send someone to him, and he had been using the identity of Prince of Yong'an these days, except for that time when he wore a mask and flaunted his identity as Prince Pan of Huainan.
In the entire Nanning Town, apart from Xie Fuyi and Yu Jin, only those who had been following the Moyi Guards knew his true identity.
The waiter said in a trembling voice, "The little prince who appeared in the teahouse wearing a mask a few days ago is the one my young master sent away."
Xie Fuyi moved closer, leaving half an arm's length away as if waiting for Wei Yanshi's explanation. Dozens of officers and soldiers in the restaurant followed closely, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Wei Yanshi waved his hand to signal them to stay away, then looked back at Xie Fuyi seriously and said, "That's not me."
Just as Xie Fuyi was about to say something, she heard a commotion outside. A young man in an indigo silk robe looked at the seal on the restaurant and asked in confusion, "What happened? Who sealed my restaurant?"
He pointed at the seal with a smile on his face, and next to him stood a man in a smoky blue wide-sleeved brocade robe holding a bamboo fan.
The young man seemed not to have noticed the confrontation in the restaurant, and laughed, "We are both in the same boat, haha."
Seeing that they were so disrespectful to the prince, the officers and soldiers shouted, "How dare you! The prince is here, why don't you come and see him!"
Who is the most mysterious person at this banquet?
They must be Prince Yong'an and Prince Huainan.
One has been frail and sickly since childhood and rarely appears in public; the other is only known by name but never seen. All portraits of him are from four years ago, and he often appears in public wearing a mask to amuse people.
The two young masters outside heard what the officers and soldiers said, and as if they realized something, they stepped into the restaurant and bowed to Wei Yanshi, who was sitting at the main seat, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
When they lowered their heads, they looked at the person sitting in the main seat again and again, as if they were trying to identify which prince he was.
The man in the smoky blue brocade robe saw who it was and unconsciously tightened the bamboo fan in his hand.
Wei Yanshi glanced at him lightly, then turned to the indigo man and asked, "The young master of your restaurant?"
The man smiled and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you?"
Wei Yanshi's face darkened and he stood up: "You really don't know what happened?"
"I really don't know." The man raised his head slightly and explained in a low voice: "I am He Yibai, the son of the Minister of Revenue. I just left home not long ago to study abroad."
Wei Yanshi didn't care whether he was the son of the Minister of Revenue or the Minister of War, and went straight to the point: "What's your relationship with this restaurant? What were you doing from the night before yesterday to the whole day yesterday? Where is the little girl you took away now?"
He Yibai remained calm and said, "This is a restaurant run by my eldest aunt's uncle's uncle. I am a distant relative by blood."
"From the night before last to yesterday, Brother Jing and I have been staying in the Rouge Flower Shop on North Street." After saying this, he calmly looked for the man next to him for approval, "Right, Brother Jing?"
Jing Se hid the unknown emotions in his eyes, and bowed to the red-clothed young man in the upper position and said, "Your Majesty, everything he said is true."
"Really?" Wei Yanshi said meaningfully, "I hope you won't let her down."
Then, he called Wei Wu, who had gone to Qianlai Restaurant to deliver the letter yesterday, and asked, "Are you sure you gave the letter yesterday to this Master Jing?"
Gu Qinghe also looked at Wei Wu.
As soon as she recognized Jingse at the door, her heart sank, and even the look she gave the two little beggar brothers was filled with guilt.
Wei Wu looked at Jing Se carefully and said, "My Lord, it is indeed him. But he was wearing a dark blue robe yesterday, and he didn't hold the fan in his hand."
"What's your explanation?" Wei Yanshi's eyes turned cold. "As for the third question, please don't hesitate to answer directly."
He Yibai's smile faded slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Forgive me for my narrow vision. I don't think I have ever seen the prince in Yandu. May I ask which nobleman in Yandu the prince is?"
He seemed to be leading people to doubt Wei Yanshi's identity, but it was indeed a doubt in his heart. He had never seen him in Yandu over the years, but he felt that this man's eyebrows and eyes were vaguely familiar.
"Mr. He's clever words really remind you of your father's stamping of his feet when he couldn't come up with money and pretended to need to go to the toilet."
Wei Yanshi looked at him with a half-smile: "I want to see how this fish on the chopping board can turn over. Come, take him to the prison cell of the government office, and I will interrogate him personally!"
The black-clothed guard clasped his fists and replied, "Yes."
He Yibai, who was forced to bow his head as his hands were held down by several black-robed guards, smiled and said, "Your Highness, you pretended to be someone else, and you got angry after I exposed you?"
