The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The afterglow of sunset gradually faded, and Qi Siliao walked towards IKEA Tea House in the hazy darkness approaching and with the slight cool breeze.

A grey sign with gold edges and a spacious store.

There are all kinds of tea trees lined up on the road outside the teahouse. Even from a long distance away, you can seem to be able to smell the fragrance of the various teas.

Qi Siliao walked in calmly, and was greeted by a rich aroma mixed with the flavor of milk tea.

He didn't have time to savor the source of the milk tea flavor. He anxiously searched the people present for Hu Luanfei.

The waiter stepped forward, bowed and greeted him cordially: "Sir, please come in..."

"You only entertain guests on the first floor. There are no other private rooms?"

"There are on the second floor, which is where distinguished guests gather. Do you have an appointment, sir?"

"Wen Ruyu..." he tried to murmur.

The waiter immediately understood: "Lord Wen and Princess Zhan are in the east wing on the second floor. Your Majesty, please..."

With the guidance of the waiter, Qi Siriao quickly found the east wing. However, when he was about to reach his destination, he suddenly stopped and asked, "How do you know I am the prince?"

The waiter said respectfully: "Who in the whole Daqian doesn't know the War King? I just thought you came to our store on a whim, so I followed the rules. But I know you are here to see Lord Wen, so I have to take the prince upstairs..."

Qi Siliao vaguely felt like he was being teased, as if... he was being played around by Hu Luanfei.

The door of the east wing was open, and the windows were not closed. Hu Luanfei and Wen Ruyu were leisurely drinking tea facing the sunset outside the window. When he came, Wen Ruyu immediately stood up to greet him.

Hu Luanfei continued to sip his tea without even glancing at him.

Qi Siliao sat down next to her. She leaned aside and moved a little bit to create some distance between them.

Wen Ruyu poured him tea and talked about the Royal Escort Agency, and at the same time involved the fact that the Queen Mother's cousin liked all kinds of strange and rare things. The two men and women were too embarrassed to say it just now, and when Qi Siriao arrived, Wen Ruyu took out a drawing and handed it to him, "An old friend who sells antiques talked to me a few days ago, and happened to mention Yuqing. Your Majesty, what do you think of this thing?"

Hu Luanfei pretended to glance at him casually, but with just one glance, the tea that had just reached his mouth sprayed all over the other person's face.

She was shocked by the images in the drawings.

Qi Siliao looked back at her expressionlessly, "Strange?"

"It's not strange. I just think it looks silly and cute. It looks a lot like me when the teacher suddenly calls me to answer a question."

Wen Ruyu wiped his face and said, "Yuqing is really fond of this kind of thing. Coincidentally, my old friend knows an old man who can fire a kiln, so this thing was made easily. Alas..."

Hu Luanfei asked apologetically, "Since it's all done, why are you still sighing?"

Wen Ruyu glanced towards Qi Siriao intentionally or unintentionally. Hu Luanfei asked, "I'm asking you a question. What are you looking at him for?"

Qi Si Liao said quietly, "I bought that thing. It's the one you wanted to take from my left hand."

Hu Luanfei opened his mouth in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Qi Si Liao asked back: "Have you given me a chance?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting off track, Wen Ruyu quickly brought the situation back to normal. "I heard that this painting was drawn by Yuqing himself. When others asked him how this thing was drawn, they had never seen it. Yuqing gave a very subtle answer, saying that by living a life of drunkenness and dreaming one can naturally meet these interesting souls."

Most people would hardly think that way, and most people thought that Yuqing was drunk. However, Hu Luanfei could tell something was wrong the moment he heard it. In this case, only people who are on drugs would have many unbelievable thoughts in their brains.

To avoid any mistakes, Hu Luanfei asked, "Does Yuqing like to drink? How tall is he?"

Wen Ruyu said, "Yuqing is cautious and doesn't drink alcohol. He is tall and thin, and quite fair. The strange thing is that his fair skin doesn't look real, like the kind of fair skin that comes from a terminal illness. This kind of fair skin suits him quite well, and has a kind of half-dead beauty that is very attractive."

"That's right." Hu Luanfei whispered, "Master Wen, next I'd like you to pay more attention to who Yuqing has been in contact with, and start from there. I suspect Yuqing is taking drugs."

"Taking drugs?" Qi Siliao and Wen Ruyu asked in unison.

Hu Luanfei frowned and looked at Qi Siriao, "I remember that Ming Feng'er's second master had a connection with Nanqi and knew some witchcraft. Although the second master is dead, what worries me is the two maids around the queen mother. They can cast witchcraft. I suspect that the queen mother's family has had contact with Nanqi."

Nanqi is rich in rice husk flowers.

This is undoubtedly an important clue.

Wen Ruyu also remembered something, "Recently, I have discovered that the dignitaries who are close to Yuqing are a little different from before. They seem to be weak and powerless. But maybe I am wrong. I will report back after I find out the truth."

There were no special surprises or accidents. After parting ways with Wen Ruyu, the couple slowly walked back to the palace in the cover of night.

The moonlight was soft and peaceful, shining over the treetops lining the street. Everything was silent except for the sound of two people's footsteps.

She was in front and he was behind.

Almost at the same time, when he was about to reach out his hand, she missed a step and her knees went weak, and she was directly embraced by someone.

"You are not familiar with the road here. I will lead you by the hand."

"I haven't forgiven you yet. Tell me, how much did you spend on that stupid thing?"

Qi Siriao's gaze seemed to evade.

Hu Luanfei squinted at him and said, "Don't tell me it cost five hundred taels."

"Huh?" He said "hmm" again the next moment.

Hu Luanfei knew that he was lying. That stupid thing was worth more than five hundred taels, maybe even a thousand taels.

"Are you planning to give it to Yuqing?"

"Yes."

"Are you stupid? You spent five hundred taels to buy something and gave it to a man. Why don't you give him the Zhan Palace?"

Qi Si Liao was stunned: "Where will we live if we send them away?"

"Sleeping on the street!" Hu Luanfei was heartbroken about the five hundred taels of silver. Menghu Mountain needed expenses everywhere, and five hundred taels could pay the wages of many workers. How could a fool like him spend five hundred taels on that stupid thing to give away? Was he short of money?

That night, Hu Luanfei broke into Qi Siriao's study and hid the thing, determined not to give it away no matter what.

Early the next morning, someone from the palace came to pick up Hu Luan and bring him into the palace to take care of his illness.

She had been so comfortable these past two days that she had forgotten about it.

She washed up quickly, had a quick breakfast, then quickly packed up the children's things and threw them into the carriage.

The palace attendant who came to pick her up was full of surprise: "Princess, you are going to take care of the sick, not to go out for fun. Please leave the young master in the palace and let others take care of him."

"I refuse. Please go back to the palace and tell the Queen Mother that the young prince is still young and cannot leave his mother. Please ask her to hire someone else to take care of him."

The palace servants were in a dilemma: "Your Highness, you cannot disobey the Queen Mother. Please let the young master be taken care of by the people in the palace for a while. When the Queen Mother recovers from her illness, you can come back to take care of the young master..."

"Then tell me, sir, if the queen mother's health continues to be poor, I will never have to see this child again in my lifetime, right?"
