Shu Blossoms

Chapter 360 Tracking
Zheng Wei nodded knowingly, and said softly with some doubts: "That fellow Yue Mu is so rich?"

Out of curiosity, she turned her head and glanced at Qingming Pavilion again, and suddenly found a familiar figure flashing past and disappearing around the corner.

She remembered the green ink brocade robe clearly, and Xia Houqing was wearing this color this morning.

He also came to Shuiyunjian?For dinner?

It's not impossible, it's just a bit too coincidental.

That strange feeling came to Zheng Wei's heart again, looking at the direction he left just now, it looks like he left from Qingming Pavilion.

A Wan was asking her what she wanted to eat later, when she turned her head and saw Zheng Wei was in a daze, she didn't seem to hear her words, she looked in her direction suspiciously, there was nothing, so she patted her lightly.

Zheng Wei came back to her senses, seeing Awan looking at her with concern, she shook her head and said: "It's okay, just now I saw a person whose back looks familiar."

Awan took her hand and said with a smile: "Jiankang City is not big, and there are people coming and going between the water and clouds. Isn't it common to meet acquaintances?"

"That's right." Zheng nodded with a smile, and stopped thinking about discussing with A Wan what to eat to satisfy his hunger.

Afterwards the two went to Xiuli Village, Liniang was surprised to see Zheng Wei, she hurriedly asked Liao Wennan to come, the sisters sat together and talked, before leaving, Liniang asked her servants to bring some fashionable brocades, He smiled and said to them: "This is a brocade newly conceived by we weaving girls in the south of the Yangtze River. There is no Xiuli Village in Pingcheng yet. It is good for the princess to take it there and give it away as a reward."

Ah Wan thanked her with a smile, and the two walked around for a while, fearing that the family would fall out, so they hurried back.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Mrs. He and the others waiting in the gatehouse with worried faces on their faces. Hearing that Zheng Wei and the others rushed out to welcome them back, they muttered: "As soon as the servants are done, they will not see the two masters. The slaves and Madam Zhang were frightened, if they hadn’t heard that you brought the imperial guards, the slaves would have ran out to find someone, if the princess knew about it, slave.”

Zheng Wei glanced at A Xin hurriedly, and A Xin smiled and put the one in Mrs. He's hand, "This is specially bought by the Princess from Xiuli Village for Mrs. He, and it is said that it is a popular pattern in Jiankang City now. , don’t you want to marry your daughter-in-law in a few days, and you can wear a new gown just right!”

Mrs. He gave Zheng Wei a helpless and doting look, and told her worriedly, "The princess can't do this anymore."

Zheng Wei obediently agreed, and Mrs. He stepped forward to help her worryingly, and looked them over carefully a few times, seeing that they were all well, she felt relieved, "Princess, your wound doesn't hurt, right?"

"Sister-in-law He, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired!" Zheng smiled and comforted her.

Awan also said: "I'm also a little tired, Wei'er, you go back to your room to rest first, and talk later."

The two sisters went back to their rooms, Zheng Wei lay down and said to Ah Xin: "Go and rest too, it's hot and you don't need to stay here."

Ah Xin has become more and more familiar with Zheng Wei's temper in the past few days, knowing that since she said she must want her to do that, she did not refuse, and left after saluting.

After she was left alone in the room, she took out a piece of rattan paper from her bosom, and then looked at it carefully. It contained the whereabouts of Xia Houqing and the people from the Great Wei Mission in the past few days after they entered Beijing.

When she saw Xia Houqing leaving the posthouse and heading towards Dongyang Gate last night, Zheng Wei couldn't help sitting up.

The people from Qingwei lost their way before approaching Dongyang Gate. Later, they searched around and went outside Dongyang Gate to investigate, but they didn't find anything.

Mu Wu added later, he felt that Xia Houqing must have gone to meet someone, and it was that person who helped Xia Houqing get rid of their pursuit.

She suddenly thought of the mysterious figure she saw in the water and clouds today, and had a strong feeling in her heart that that person was Xia Houqing.

Did he go to Shuiyunjian to eat or meet people?

It's a pity that there is no whereabouts of Xia Houqing today in these news, which makes her feel a little annoyed.

Zheng Wei got up and paced back and forth, walked to the window lattice and took a few deep breaths, calmed down a bit before continuing to think.

She boldly guessed, if Xia Houqing really went to Shuiyun Jian to meet someone, who was the other party?
Could it be an old friend from the past?She shook her head, the old friends who had contacts with the Xiahou family back then were either wiped out or expelled withered, even if there were still a few acquaintances, no one would dare to meet him in private.

If it wasn't an old friend, it might be his secret work hidden in Jiankang or someone who was in collusion with him.

You must know that the real murderer of Nanshi's assassination is still at large. Although Yu Qi has already betrayed Qiuhou and asked to be executed, Weng He escaped the death penalty and was still exiled.

But those smart people in Jiankang City can guess that Yu Qi is just a scapegoat, and the real ghost is still hiding in the corner. The Zheng family and the eldest princess are just holding back.

Qingwei never stopped his secret investigation.

Zheng Wei couldn't help but wonder if Xia Houqing was that person he met last night and today?
After resting for a while, Ah Xin hurried over to serve her, and saw her princess leaning on her chin with one hand, knocking on a few tables with the other, squinting her eyes and thinking about something, occasionally there was a cold light flashing in her eyes, which made her back feel cold .

"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Ah Xin felt that the appearance of the princess was a little scary at this time, swallowed her saliva and tried cautiously.

"Thinking about how to catch a cunning mouse!" Zheng Wei's words were full of calculations, Ah Xin didn't understand it for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Is there a mouse in the room?"

As she said that, she tied up her long sleeves, bent her waist and looked around, Zheng Wei came back to her senses and laughed when she saw it, "Which mouse without long eyes dares to be in this room, even though I don't have the same skills as before, the mouse will never escape my grasp." The short thorns in it!"

Ah Xin turned her head and saw that the princess was holding the short thorns in her hand to tie the flowers. The short thorns were sharpened and glowed coldly in the sun, looking weird.

"Princess, be careful, don't hurt yourself." Ah Xin felt that today's princess was weird, so she took two steps back, gave a word of advice, and then slipped out, "Servant, go and bring you a bowl of sweet soup, Awan The sweet soup cooked by the princess's chef is delicious!"

When she came out, she ran into Awan, and quickly stabilized her feet to salute. Awan saw that she was a little uneasy, so she asked, "What's wrong with Ah Xin? Are you awake?"

"Get up!" Ah Xin nodded, and then said worriedly: "Princess Awan, our princess was a little strange just now, playing with short pricks in the room, it looks creepy."

A Wan walked in curiously, and sure enough, she saw Zheng Wei playing with the short thorn, which Zheng Wei left her for self-defense that day, it helped her a lot, and she returned it when she came back.

"Put it away quickly, it looks scary, no wonder Ah Xin turned pale with fright!" A Wan stood still, pointing at the short thorn flying back and forth in her hand.

Zheng Wei put it away obediently, so she dared to come over and sit down, looked at her expression, her eyes were clear and sharp, but her face was a bit tired, and the clothes on her body were still the same violet pleated skirt she wore this morning, she immediately understood this. The girl didn't rest at all, what was she doing and thinking?

"You are like a hedgehog who only wants to stab people, what happened?"

Awan also asked a question, Zheng Wei grabbed Awan and whispered in her ear: "Sister, help me catch a mouse!"
