Drunk Bamboo

"Did you get the things?" Xie Yuzhu asked Gu Suiyi with a smile.

Gu Suiyi took out a book from his sleeve.

Hua Qinfeng was puzzled and stared at Gu Suiyi with a frown: "What is it?"

This expression shows that he just found out.

Gu Suiyi respectfully handed the booklet written by Xie Yuzhu to Hua Qinfeng.

"How to become an excellent secret agent? This..." Hua Qinfeng looked at Xie Yuzhu, "You mentioned this to me before?"

Xie Yuzhu nodded: "Since Gu Suiyi is helping you manage Changfeng Tower, I will give him some of my experience and make the best use of it."

Changfeng Tower belongs to Hua Qinfeng, and there are not many people around him who are trustworthy and energetic.

Xie Yuzhu recommended Gu Suiyi to him, but that was not the final decision. Hua Qinfeng had the final say on whether to use the person or not.

Unexpectedly, after the two of them had been together for a few days, Hua Qinfeng kept Gu Suiyi by his side all day long, almost inseparable from her. They were together every day and trusted each other so much.

"I just flipped through two pages. The princess wrote very well. It will definitely be useful." Gu Suiyi nodded repeatedly. He was not flattering. He would go back and study carefully what the princess wrote.

"Why don't you give it to me?" Hua Qinfeng said unhappy, but he still gave the booklet to Gu Suiyi.

Is it because you don’t trust his ability as well as Gu Suiyi that you don’t give it to him?

"Gu Suiyi is more suitable for leading and teaching these tasks." Xie Yuzhu smiled.

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess!" Gu Suiyi took a few steps back, away from Hua Qinfeng, and tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips.

He didn't even say a word of comfort. This was too straightforward.

Hua Qinfeng knew in his heart that Gu Suiyi was suitable, but he still felt a little disappointed when he heard Xie Yuzhu say this.

But then Xie Yuzhu said:

"Father thinks highly of you now, and he sends you errands from time to time. You must not work too hard."

A light suddenly flashed in Hua Qinfeng's dark eyes.

I was afraid that he was working too hard. It turned out that I was afraid that he was working too hard!

The corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily, and he glanced at Gu Suiyi with pride in his eyes.

Gu Suiyi's mouth twitched, and he laughed dryly: "I'm still standing here. Even if you use me as a laborer, you should wait until I leave. You really don't treat me as an outsider."

It was originally a joke.

Hua Qinfeng said seriously, "Not everyone can know about Changfeng Tower, and not everyone can enter it."

Gu Suiyi was stunned.

Although I have suffered a lot of "torture" following the prince these days, I have also gained a lot.

Not only did he teach him all his martial arts, he also took him to Master Zhang's mansion and told him the secrets of Changfeng Tower.

The first time he was brought into the private room of Anhe Restaurant, he met the two managers of Changfeng Tower, Chang An of Anhe Restaurant and Liu Shunfeng of Liu Gang.

When he heard that Changfeng Tower was a secret agency of Prince Feng's Palace, he was even more shocked.

He was then asked to help manage Changfeng Tower.

That day, he was in a daze and felt like he was dreaming.

I lay in bed at night, but was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.

Gu Suiyi stopped laughing and bowed solemnly: "Thank you for your trust, my Lord and Princess. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

Hua Qinfeng and Xie Yuzhu were stunned.

Blinking, Gu Suiyi raised his head and smiled carefreely again:

"Don't disturb the prince and princess from their sweet days. I will go and do my hard work now."

He walked out of the Feng Palace with a swagger, waving his folding fan.

Hua Qinfeng was amazed at the skill of changing his expression in an instant.

Xie Yuzhu looked at Hua Qinfeng meaningfully: "Did the prince tell him everything about Changfeng Tower?"

"Almost. Lao Liu has been busy for these years, it's time for him to take a break. Chaoyang and I don't necessarily have to stay in Zhongdu, someone has to look after Changfeng Tower. Gu Suiyi, the prince of the Marquis's mansion, has no official position, so he is a good candidate."

Hua Qinfeng's dark eyes looked in the direction where Gu Suiyi disappeared.

"The prince seems to like him very much."

"He is indeed a man of both civil and military talents. Such a person should be suitable for being an official."

Hua Qinfeng did not deny his talent, he even admired it.

Even if your behavior is a little inappropriate sometimes, you should know when to stop.

"It's not that I can't, but that I don't want to. I'm not interested in it, and I can't do it well." Xie Yuzhu shook her head.

Just like Hua Qinfeng, he was unwilling to stay in Zhongdu to be an official.

The two of them went to see the nanny together, and then returned to Changfeng Courtyard and sat in the study, one reading a book while the other studied purple eggplant.

Time passed quickly and it was lunchtime in the blink of an eye.

After lunch, Hua Qinfeng did not go out either. The two of them returned to Changfeng Courtyard and worked on their own work.

The weather in July is already a bit hot and humid.

Chaoyang prepared ice cubes and placed them in the study, Yunling also prepared some iced sour plum soup, Hua Qinfeng and Xie Yuzhu were so focused on their own things that they didn't feel the heat at all.

Hua Qinfeng looked up inadvertently. Xie Yuzhu lowered her brows and carefully fiddled with the flowers and plants in her hands. Occasionally, the sound of insects chirped in the yard, and occasionally a warm breeze blew in, blowing the black hair in front of her forehead. There was a kind of tranquility that came from a lifetime of peace.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

His eyes fell on the flower pot next to her, and he couldn't help asking:

"What kind of poisonous weed can corrode human flesh and blood in an instant? Is there really such a plant in the world?"

"The world is so big, and there are so many species, so of course there are. In fact, there are many flowers and plants that have them. Even iron can be corroded, not to mention human flesh and blood."

Xie Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, realizing that the question he asked was about the three prisoners in the Ministry of Justice who died mysteriously. He thought about it before responding seriously.

"Even hard iron can be corroded?! How is it possible?" Hua Qinfeng put down the book and asked in surprise.

"For example, the banana leaves next to the pavilion contain an acid that, if extracted in large quantities and applied to iron objects, will cause a chemical reaction and cause corrosion."

"What is a chemical reaction?" aroused his curiosity.

"To put it simply, the substance has changed. When the acid is combined with iron, the acid is no longer an acid, and the iron is no longer iron. They have become a third substance." Xie Yuzhu could only explain it in the simplest way, and he didn't know if Hua Qinfeng could understand it.

"Is this mutual promotion and restraint?" Hua Qinfeng thought for a while before asking.

"Your Highness is smart! This is roughly the principle." Xie Yuzhu's eyes flashed.

Hua Qinfeng understood this!

"...I see." He lowered his eyes and rubbed his chin with his fingers, as if he was in deep thought.

"Master Zhang, what kind of poison did you find out?"

Xie Yuzhu put down the work in her hands, stood up to wash her hands, then picked up the sour plum soup and sat next to Hua Qinfeng.

"I have asked the imperial physician in the palace and doctors in the city, but no one knows what kind of poison it is. The Liu Gang has also asked around in the martial arts world, but there is no news."

"It can instantly turn three living people into a pile of blood. Even if you have to plant a whole city of banana trees to extract and concentrate them, it may not be effective."

"If even you don't know, who else can know?

"Has Lord Zhang asked Grandpa Zhao from Niuma Lane?"

"I told him so."

When it comes to poisons, Xie Yuzhu is not an expert, but he is better than the average doctor.

Hua Qinfeng did not let her interfere, nor did he want outsiders to know that she was good at using poison, and he did not want her to worry about it.

She knew all this.

Now that he has Zhang Xinghe and Gu Suiyi by his side, and he himself has made great progress, Xie Yuzhu has taken some time off and just does his own things in the mansion.

"Grandpa Zhao is an expert in medicine, but he may not know much about poisons." Xie Yuzhu smiled gently, "The books I brought from Nanmi also have some strange stories and travel notes. I'll take a look when I have time. Maybe I can find some rare flowers and plants."

Knowing that she wanted to help, Hua Qinfeng agreed to her wishes and nodded.

At this time, Lao Liu came to report:

"Your Majesty, Doctor Qi is here."

Hua Qinfeng frowned: "Why is he here?"

Lao Liu: "Doctor Qi said he came to see the princess."
