Travel back to ancient times to spoil the prince

Chapter 203 Is he mocking her?
"what happened?"

Wu Yucheng noticed something strange about her, he looked down at her with an inquiring expression.

"No... nothing."

Guan Cuicui swallowed nervously, guilt was written all over her face.

Wu Yucheng's face was sinking like water, and his heart was turning a thousand times, but he still had an amiable look on his face, "Little sister, let's go to the inn, and you tell me everything you know."

"Ok."

Guan Cuicui responded obediently, and followed him into the Laifu Inn.

After entering the inn, without waiting for Wu Yucheng to ask, she said what Yin Qingqing and Xiao Huaijin asked her to say.

She first briefly described what happened to her and her sister, and then told Wu Yucheng that the reason why she knew that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to Tongzhou Mansion was at the Laifu Inn was because she met a kind person who took care of her. After seeing her for two or three days, he personally sent her to the door of Laifu Inn this morning.

"Well-wishers?"

Wu Yucheng twitched the corners of his lips, and said coolly, "The kind-hearted person you are talking about is His Royal Highness Duan Wang, or Duan Wangfei?"

"You really can guess the truth."

Guan Cuicui looked up at him, then licked her lips unconsciously, "The kind person who saved me asked me not to tell you her identity, but she has something to tell you."

"Oh?"

Wu Yucheng raised his eyebrows with great interest, found a random seat and sat down, "What does the person who rescued you want to tell me?"

"She asked me to tell you that knowing too much is not good for you."

Guan Cuicui cleared her throat, imitating Yin Qingqing's usual tone, and said this sentence.

"Ha ha……"

Wu Yucheng laughed loudly, and put his hand on her head again, "Okay, I understand what that person means, little sister, you follow my guards and go to the backyard to rest! Give me some time, This officer will definitely avenge your sister."

"Thank you, Mr. Imperial Envoy."

Guan Cuicui knelt down on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to him.

"Take good care of this little girl."

Wu Yucheng tidied up the clothes at the cuffs, and shifted his gaze from Guan Cuicui to Ling Xiao, "I have something to deal with, so you don't have to follow me."

"My lord, where are you going?"

Ling Xiao looked at Guan Cuicui, then at Wu Yucheng, his scalp was numb, he was at odds with Guan Cuicui, he didn't want to be alone with Guan Cuicui.

Wu Yucheng didn't know what was going on in his heart, and after saying "I'm going to see the kind person who rescued Guan Cuicui", he left without looking back.

"Uh……"

The corners of Ling Xiao's eyes twitched, feeling that the sky was getting dark.

On the other side, Wu Yucheng hurried all the way, and it only took half an hour to arrive at the Yuelai Inn.

Yin Qingqing and Xiao Huaijin had already guessed that he would come to them, and they asked Xin Nanrong to wait for him at the door of the inn.

"Master Wu."

As soon as Wu Yucheng stepped into the Yuelai Inn, he was stopped by Xin Nanrong.

Xin Nanrong bowed his hands to him neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a low voice, "My lord and wife are playing chess in the backyard, you can go find them in the backyard."

"Ok?"

Wu Yucheng paused, and unconsciously frowned.

Xin Nanrong stood with his hands behind his back, with a leisurely smile on his face, "Master Wu, you haven't discovered it yet, after you came to Tongzhou Mansion, everything you encountered, everyone you saw, were from my family. The master has arranged it."

"Now the officer has found out."

Wu Yucheng clenched his fist hanging by his side, took a deep breath, and then set off to find Yin Qingqing and Xiao Huaijin.

"Hey, why do you regret playing again?"

"Oh, I don't know how to play Go. Don't be so fussy, sir."

……

When he saw Yin Qingqing and Xiao Huaijin, they were bickering. Xiao Huaijin propped his chin with his hands and looked at Yin Qingqing with helpless and doting eyes. smiled.

Wu Yucheng coughed lowly, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"My lower official, Wu Yucheng, pays my respects to His Highness Duan Wang, and Duan Wangfei."

He strode forward and raised his voice to interrupt the conversation between Yin Qingqing and Xiao Huaijin.

"Get up."

Xiao Huaijin glanced at him inexplicably, and threw the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard in front of him.

"Master Wu, sit down."

Yin gently pointed to the place beside her, and showed a gentle smile to Wu Yucheng.

Wu Yucheng's fingertips trembled slightly, and after struggling for a moment, he sat down at the seat designated by her according to her request.

"Princess, I came to you and Your Highness to report on the case of hiding the body in the well."

"Tell me, what did you find?"

Yin gently propped up his chin and fiddled with the chess pieces on the chessboard carelessly, as if he didn't care about the case of hiding the corpse in the well at all, but Wu Yucheng knew that all this was an illusion, and she wanted to bring Qi Jingshuang to justice more than anyone else.

So, after sorting out his emotions, he briefly talked about what happened in the past two days.

"How many corpses do you think there are in the well?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Qingqing's face turned black, "67? So many?"

"The officer knows this is scary, but it's the truth."

It was a matter of dozens of lives, and Wu Yucheng could not treat it casually. He sat up straight and told her very seriously, "The lower official has already sent someone back to Beijing to find the emperor. At that time, he will order the next official to thoroughly investigate the case of hiding the corpse in the well."

Well, that's what she wanted to see.

The chill on Yin Qingqing's face dissipated a little, "These were more than 60 innocent lives, please be more considerate, my lord, and give them justice as soon as possible."

"The officer will solve this case as soon as possible."

Wu Yucheng smiled leisurely, and said something pointedly, "In order to let those who died in vain see the light of day again, Wangfei, you did not hesitate to turn yourself into a chess piece and jump into the chess game you personally arranged."

"If you can't solve the case of hiding the body in the well, then your efforts will be in vain. As your old acquaintance, I will not let you work in vain."

Is he giving her reassurance, or is he mocking her?
Yin lightly raised his hand and tidied his hair, taking advantage of the opportunity to hide all his emotions, "My princess can't understand what you are talking about, Mrs. Wu. What kind of chess piece is not a chess piece? This princess can't play chess."

"is it?"

Wu Yucheng squinted at her injured arm with a vague expression, "I don't think so, I think every move you make, Wangfei, is a masterful move."

"Master Wu is absurd."

Yin gently pushed the chessboard in front of him towards Xiao Huaijin, looking as innocent as possible.

"My family often says that my princess is short-sighted. When playing chess, she can only see the move in front of her. She doesn't know how to take one step, but only sees three moves."
