After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine
Chapter 18 Catching a Thief
It was already the end of the shift for the day, and Xiao Minshen remembered that he had forgotten to take the things he bought for Shen Yunjin, so he went back to the patrol office to get the things.
On the way, I saw a man with a rat-like face sneaking out from the wall of the courtyard next to me.
He hurriedly chased after him, but ended up running into a dead end.
Behind him, a group of big men came.
"Boss, that's him. He followed me all the way. If I hadn't been smart, I would have been caught."
The man with a rat-like face looked at the burly man in the middle and asked for credit with a flattering smile.
"Kid, which road are you from? Tell me your name."
The big man who was leading the group put his hands on his hips and yelled at Xiao Minshen.
"Brother, why talk about brotherhood with a weakling? I will just beat him up and take care of him." The younger brother next to him responded.
Xiao Minshen didn't want to reveal his identity. There were indeed too many people on the other side, and he was not sure whether his guards could arrive quickly.
He thought for a moment and showed his badge, "I'm from the Patrol Division."
The people on the opposite side were startled, and the big man leading the group felt timid.
"Boss, we can't let him go. He has already seen us and can kill us all at once someday."
After hearing what the rat-eyed man said, the leader hesitated.
"Brothers, follow me. We must not let this kid go, otherwise, we will have to spend the rest of our lives in jail tomorrow."
The man with a rat-like face waved his arm at the others.
"Wait, I am the prince, aren't you afraid that I will exterminate all your clans?"
The people on the opposite side stopped at once. A Fifth Prince came from the Patrol Department. This matter had already spread throughout the capital.
"You are a prince? Then I am the Jade Emperor. Bah, I won't make up a reliable lie to deceive people."
The rat-looking man rushed forward first and punched Xiao Minshen in the face.
Xiao Minshen did not move. He waited until the other person's hand was close to him before he dodged.
"You dare to hide, kid? Wait till I tell you how I'm going to deal with you today." The man said as he kicked him in the heart.
Xiao Minshen kicked forward quickly, and there was a sound of "click".
Then, the sound of a man howling like a ghost could be heard in the alley.
"Boss, Hou San's leg seems to be broken."
"Boss, this guy is tough. Let's go."
In an instant, the group turned around and ran away without leaving a single one, completely unconcerned about the life or death of Hou San on the ground.
"I am late, please punish me, Your Highness!" The guard arrived at this time.
When Hou San heard that Xiao Minshen was really the prince, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
"Please spare my life, my lord. Please spare my life. It is all because I was blind and did not recognize the real man. Please forgive me and let me go."
Looking at Hou San who kept kowtowing, Xiao Minshen drew out the sword from the guard and put it on Hou San's neck.
"Didn't you just say you were the Jade Emperor? How come you've become a villain now?"
Xiao Minshen cut Hou San's clothes with a sword, and things immediately fell out.
There were women's bellybands, hand towels, a large bag of silver, gold and silver jewelry, and some papers.
Xiao Minshen used his sword to pick away the mess on it and picked up the paper.
It looked like a scholar's usual homework, and he casually put the paper into his lapel.
"Take him to the patrol station and torture him severely." Xiao Minshen threw the sword to the guard.
"Go back and get ten military sticks." After saying that, he turned around and went back home.
He went to Qixia Garden first. Ning Ruyan had a frown on her face and the two of them sat in silence.
After finishing a cup of tea, Xiao Minshen was ready to leave, "It's time for dinner, Your Majesty. Please stay and have dinner."
Madam Zhao smiled and hurriedly asked them to stay, and she quietly pulled Ning Ruyan.
"Your Highness, please have dinner before leaving." Ning Ruyan said dryly.
Xiao Minshen thought for a moment, raised his butt, and sat back down.
Nanny Zhao happily prepared dinner and gave Ning Ruyan a wink before leaving.
Ning Ruyan pretended not to see it and sipped her tea slowly.
Xiao Minshen didn't say anything either. For a moment, the room was silent.
Fortunately, Nanny Zhao came in with the maids carrying dinner.
"I heard that the prince likes to eat fish. This is West Lake vinegar fish. Your Highness, please try it."
Nanny Zhao signaled Ning Ruyan to serve the food. Ning Ruyan reluctantly picked up a piece of fish with the serving chopsticks and put it into Xiao Minshen's bowl.
Xiao Minshen took a look at it and clamped it aside.
"What do you mean? I worked so hard to pick it up for you, and you threw it aside?"
Ning Ruyan was angry and threw down the chopsticks in her hand.
"It seems that my wife doesn't know that I never eat meat from the tail."
After Xiao Minshen finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
Ning Ruyan looked carefully. She didn't expect that she had clamped the tail with just a casual pinch.
"Isn't the part at the tail fish meat? What a crappy habit! This princess doesn't even want to serve you!" Ning Ruyan grumbled unconvinced.
"Princess, you have wronged the prince."
"When the prince was a child, he ate fish meat that a concubine picked for him at a New Year's Eve dinner and nearly lost his life. The fish meat was from the tail of the fish, where there are the most fish bones, and it is easy to get stuck in the throat if you are not careful."
Nanny Zhao's original intention was to let the princess and the prince spend more time together. What if, one day, the princess suddenly fell in love with the prince?
At this moment, Aunt Zhao felt extremely regretful. Why did she suggest that the prince eat fish?
Why did you ask the princess to pick food for the prince?
Thinking of this, she slapped herself in the face and said, "You're so talkative!"
"Mammy, why are you hitting yourself? I know you are doing this for my own good, but I get angry when I see the icy face of the King of Qi."
Ning Ruyan thought of the spring-like smiling face in her memory, and she hated Xiao Minshen even more.
As soon as Xiao Minshen left Qixia Garden, he set out for Mingyuexuan.
At this time, Shen Yunjin was tasting the cold noodles made by Yuzhi with Nanny Li and others.
Shen Yunjin suffers from a bitter summer every year, and Yuzhi thinks of the cold noodles her family made when she was a child.
She spent a little money and the people in the kitchen allowed her to use the kitchen.
Because she was eating cold noodles, she cooked a big pot of red date millet porridge.
"Why is your Majesty here now?"
Because Shen Yunjin called people in to taste the food today, there was no one guarding the door.
As soon as Xiao Minshen entered the room, he saw the master and his servants sitting around the table having a meal.
When Nanny Li and the others saw Xiao Minshen come in, they all knelt down in fright.
Xiao Minshen waved his hand indifferently. Although he had received royal education since childhood, he knew that servants could not sit at the same table with their masters.
However, the scene just now made him feel slightly moved.
"Your Highness, have you had dinner? How about I make you a bowl of rice?" Shen Yunjin saw Xiao Minshen staring at Lengmian.
"Okay." Xiao Minshen sat down and watched Shen Yunjin pick the noodles, put various shredded vegetables in, and then add various seasonings.
"Your Highness, do you like spicy food?" Seeing Xiao Minshen nod, Shen Yunjin added a little more red chili oil.
Shen Yunjin handed the prepared cold noodles to Xiao Minshen.
Xiao Minshen picked one first, took a bite, and then his eyes lit up and he picked up another one with chopsticks.
Soon, the small bowl of noodles was finished, and he looked at the remaining noodles in the middle with a sense of unsatisfaction.
"What kind of food is this?"
