Ning Shu finally understood how Zhao Kuangyin felt when he was forced to wear the emperor's robe. "Ha … Haha …"
The reason that Hui Mo found was too dignified. If she refused, she would be heartless. She lowered her head and numbly picked up the chopsticks under the burning gaze of the people. She put some food into the porcelain bowl beside Xiahou Qing's hand and said like a wooden person, "Your Highness, please."
Xiahou Qing's lips moved slightly and said, "Thank you."
During the meal, Ning Shu felt like she was sitting on a needle. It was the first time that she was so against the Chasing Cloud and Moon Chasing Restaurant.
Opposite her, Xiao Yunyi's gaze almost burned through her. Tan Siwei's gaze was also extremely confused, not to mention the other two officials of the Ministry of Justice. They looked as if they wanted to immediately spread what they had seen and heard at the banquet so that all their colleagues could carefully savor it together.
Finally, the meal came to an end. Ning Shu was about to let out a sigh of relief when she heard Xiao Yunyi put down the wine cup and said coldly, "Prince Xiahou, I'm afraid there's something that I have to remind you. Since the Prince Xiahou's Princess Consort has been decided, then it's best that you don't provoke some people that you shouldn't provoke."
Xiahou Qing leisurely responded, "May I ask the Sixth Prince, the marriage ceremony, the acceptance ceremony, the big betrothal gifts, and the invitation ceremony, none of these have been carried out. It was only a hasty drawing of lots, and the person who was chosen has now disappeared without a trace. How does the Sixth Prince affirm that the candidate for my Southern Pacifying Wang Fu's heir consort has already been decided? Also, who are the people that I, Xiahou Qing, shouldn't provoke? I, Xiahou Qing, shouldn't provoke, but Sixth Prince can? "
"I've long heard that Prince Xiahou is very smart. Today, I've seen it for myself."
"Sixth Prince Xiahou Qing is also good at concealing his strength and biding his time."
The two people were arguing with each other, but in fact, they were fighting with their swords. Fortunately, Tan Siwei was quick-witted and mediated the situation. "Hehe, Your Highnesses are both dragons and phoenixes among men. This lowly official admires and admires both of you. This lowly official boldly proposes a toast to Your Highnesses."
Ning Shu was speechless. She turned to the two officials of the Ministry of Justice, who were as quiet as wooden chickens, and asked, "May I ask the two officials, how is the interrogation going at the imperial astronomer? Did you get any useful information from the interrogation? "
The Imperial Astronomer's divination was the origin of the whole case, and also the first thread in the whole mess. If it could be solved, then the rest would be easily solved.
Unfortunately, the two shook their heads in unison. "We've detained all 38 members of the Imperial Astronomer and interrogated them one by one. We've been interrogating them day and night, but we haven't found anything yet. But don't worry, Miss Ning, we'll inform you as soon as we have good news."
"Thank you, my Lords." Ning Shu nodded her head in thanks.
With a perturbed heart, Ning Shu looked left and right. Finally, Huimo arrived late and the banquet ended.
Tan Siwei bowed to the few people. "Thank you for coming to the banquet today. If I have done anything wrong, please forgive me. I only hope that we can solve the case as soon as possible and find Miss Qi so that we can live up to the Emperor's kindness. In short, you will have to work hard in the near future. "
Everyone politely returned the greeting.
Ning Shu used the excuse of catching up with Chun Niang. She stayed for a while and finally sent the few Buddhas away.
Chun Niang's mind was clear. When she saw Ning Shu coming over with a bitter smile, she gently plucked a string of melodious music. Under the music, she covered her mouth and laughed softly. She joked with Ning Shu. "Lady Ning is really charming."
"Good Chun Niang, don't make fun of me." Ning Shu begged with a bitter smile. Then, she thought of something and asked, "Have you sent Lan Xiang and Niinu's ashes back to Qingzhou?"
"Yes, Lan Xiang disguised herself as Niinu and became friends with me. Her biggest wish was to find a good sister and return to her hometown with her. I can be considered as half of her bosom friend. If I don't fulfill this wish for her, who can fulfill her wish? In the end, we are just rootless duckweeds floating in the world. " Chun Niang said with emotion. Her eyes were red and she quickly blinked her eyes to stop herself. "Oh, why am I saying these depressing words for no reason. Previously, when the pleasure boat caught fire, I had nowhere to go. The procuress almost sold me to the brothel. Thanks to Lady Ning's recommendation to Prince Ke for me, I have such a good shelter. Chun Niang is very grateful. "
"It's just a small matter. Chun Niang, if you continue to be so polite, you will be estranged from me." Ning Shu smiled and then returned to the topic. "Chun Niang, you should have heard about the case that happened in the past two days, right? To be honest, I have something to ask you. "
