The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 426 The Red Clothes Are Here
Wu Qiushi looked up, and in contrast to the bustling and splendid front entrance, the back entrance of Qingyun Restaurant was deserted and dark, with nothing to be seen.

There was no moonlight at the end of the month, so he could only vaguely distinguish the position of the door knocker by a little bit of starlight.

He raised his hand and touched it, and it was indeed the door knocker. He was about to knock, but the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

He was startled, retracted his hand like an electric shock, took a step back, tensed up vigilantly, as if seeing something wrong, he could run away at any time.

The people inside seemed to be taken aback by his actions, and stood there for a long time without moving.

Only then did Wu Qiushi concentrate and look, and saw a girl in a red fairy dress holding a rabbit lamp standing by the door.

He froze for a moment, moved his gaze up, and met a pair of watery eyes.

"you are?"

When those eyes blinked, Wu Qiushi felt his heart beat heavily.

"I... I'm here to find someone." Wu Qiushi looked away, not forgetting the purpose of his trip.

"Looking for someone, why don't you go through the back door instead of the front door? Who are you looking for?" The girl in red leaned against the door, showing no intention of letting him in.

Wu Qiushi hesitated and asked, "Who are you?"

"You are so impolite. If you want to know my identity, you should at least declare your family name first, right? Tell me, who are you looking for? I'll decide whether to let you in or not."

Wu Qiushi looked past her and looked back, but the backyard was silent, as if she was the only one.

"I came to look for your shopkeeper. An old friend gave him something, saying that he would understand after reading it."

Wu Qiushi still didn't reveal his identity casually. If there is something wrong with the woman in front of him, wouldn't it be the empress?
However, upon hearing his words, the eyes of the girl in red changed, and she slowly straightened up.

She looked Wu Qiushi carefully, then turned away and said, "Come in and talk."

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the yard with the lamp in hand. Wu Qiushi hesitated and followed.

After entering the courtyard, the girl in red didn't intend to stop, and led him through the corridor in front, and pushed open a door.

Wu Qiushi stood at the door and asked vigilantly, "What is this place? Why did you bring me here? I want to find your shopkeeper."

The girl in red laughed lightly, lit the oil lamp in the house and said, "You keep saying that you want to find the shopkeeper of Qingyun Restaurant, but you don't know that he is far away and right in front of you."

Wu Qiushi was startled, and said in amazement: "You are? I don't believe it!"

"Do you believe it or not? I have no other way to prove that I am the shopkeeper, but don't you think it's strange that a big girl like me appears here in the middle of the night? In such a big place as Qingyun Restaurant, the backyard Who can enter casually?"

The girl in red sat down at the table and raised her legs, revealing her fair ankles.

Wu Qiushi immediately looked away, his ears turned red.

"Tell me, why did you come to find the shopkeeper? What do you give?"

Wu Qiushi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If you can't prove your identity, I won't give you anything."

The girl in red raised her eyebrows, "Okay? Then you stay here and don't wander around. I'll get someone to prove it to you. Do you know Mr. Mu from Qingyun Restaurant?"

Wu Qiushi nodded, "Mr. Mu is the storyteller of Qingyun Restaurant, who in Qingdu doesn't know his name?"

The girl in red nodded, without saying anything, walked past him and went out the door.

Wu Qiushi smelled the faint fragrance in the air, exhaled, and touched his hot face.

Soon the girl in red led an old man with a long beard in. Wu Qiushi turned his head when he heard the movement, and got up immediately: "Mr. Mu?"

Mr. Mu smiled and said: "It's the old man, what is the son's business with the old man?"

Wu Qiushi hurriedly said: "This girl said that she is the shopkeeper of Qingyun Restaurant. I don't really believe it, so I want to ask someone to prove it. Does Mr. Mu know her?"

Mr. Mu stroked his beard and laughed, "Master, he is a cautious person at first glance. It is not surprising that you don't know her. This girl in red is actually the person behind Qingyun Restaurant, but she has never shown her face before. "

Now Wu Qiushi believed it completely, he cupped his hands towards the red clothes and said: "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I offended the girl, and I hope you have a lot of people, so I don't have the same knowledge as you."

"It doesn't matter." Hongyi glanced at him and turned to Mr. Mu, "I'm sorry to bother Mr. Mu for making this trip. There's nothing else to do now. Go back quickly. I'll double your wages tonight."

Elder Mu happily said to Hong Yi: "Thank you, miss."

After Mr. Mu left, Hongyi turned to look at Wu Qiushi, "Can you give me the things now?"

Wu Qiushi nodded, and said to Hongyi: "The matter is very important, please let the girl come in and talk about it."

Hongyi walked in, and Wu Qiushi closed the door behind him. He took out the thin red coat that was folded and folded from his arms, and handed it to Hongyi.

"Miss, please take a look—my master asked me to give it to you. She said it was a gift from an old friend. There are words on it, so you will understand after reading it."

Seeing the clothes on the table, Hong Yi didn't pick them up immediately, and instead asked, "Who is your master?"

Wu Qiushi didn't speak, and was silent for a while. He didn't know if it was okay to say this, and the empress didn't explain it at the time.

Hongyi saw his concerns, smiled and propped his chin with one hand, squinted his eyes and said, "Then let me guess, your master is the empress?"

Wu Qiushi was startled, and stared at him with wide eyes, "Why do you..."

"Don't ask me how I know, I guessed right from your reaction, then it's all right."

Only then did Hong Yi pick up the clothes on the table and examine them carefully.

"Words...how can there be words?" She looked at the clothes from top to bottom, but couldn't find any clues, so she couldn't help frowning.

Wu Qiushi followed suit, and hesitated, "Could it be that you need some special method to see it?"

Hong Yi raised her eyes and smiled, "It's not unreasonable."

This time she lifted the clothes up, looked carefully at the lamp, and finally found some traces at the hem of the clothes.

She immediately picked up the hem of her clothes, looked for an angle against the light, and stroked that place with her fingers.

"Qingyun Restaurant...Xuanyiwei...Xiao Yuliu."

Hong Yi squinted her eyes and read it softly, then smiled, "As expected of the master, I can think of a way to pass the news under such circumstances."

She put down her clothes and felt relieved. After coming here for so long, she finally found a chance.

Wu Qiushi looked at her blankly, "What is the girl going to do next?"

Hongyi got up and said: "Of course I want to ask the Queen Mother for a favor, I want to enter the Ming Palace."
