Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 130 Xin Mi
After raising her for a few days, Ling Youyao's body has recovered.

During the days when she was not in the capital, Lvbao and Lu Sheng settled the matter of the restaurant early, and everything was done according to Ling Youyao's instructions, and now it is only a matter of choosing an auspicious day to open.

Lu Sheng picked a few days and handed it over. Ling Youyao didn't pay attention to this aspect, so he just pointed to the eighth day of October.

Seeing this day, Yinzhu couldn't help but smile: "Princess, your choice of this day is really a coincidence."

Ling Youyao looked at her suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Don't you know? The eighth day of October is the prince's birthday."

Ling Youyao was taken aback, she really didn't know.

Yinzhu said: "I thought you chose this day because you wanted to surprise the prince on that day."

"That's not true." Ling Youyao looked away unnaturally, but silently kept this matter in her heart.

Since she woke up, she always felt that the relationship between the two had undergone some subtle changes, but they both tacitly chose to remain silent.

The affairs of the Liang family have come to an end, Fu Mingjue still leaves early and returns late these days, Ling Youyao doesn't know what he is busy with, but at night she can always hear someone sitting beside her bed, sighing secretly.

No need to think about it, Fu Mingjue is the only one who can freely enter and leave Lanhui Courtyard in the palace.

I just don't know why he does it.
Autumn in the capital is coming to an end, and the shops on both sides of the street are deserted, probably because of the weather, the bustle of the past is a little less.

Taking a rest today, Ling Qingyan originally wanted to ask Shen Xuhuai to taste the new vinegar chicken from Tianxiang Pavilion, but Shen Xuhuai refused him because of his busy schedule.

Hearing this, Ling Qingyan sneered twice: "He's busy with work? He's cheating ghosts!"

Wen Sheng said with a sneer: "My lord, he is indeed busy recently."

"The matter with the Liang family is over, what can he do?"

Ling Qingyan would never believe Shen Xuhuai's nonsense that he was busy with official duties. He had been fooled by Shen Xuhuai many times since he was a child, and now he would not be fooled again.

"What I said is true, my son." Wen Sheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ling Qingyan.

"Okay, I see." Ling Qingyan stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out, "Since he's so busy, I'll go to see him in person."

"My lord?" Before Wen Sheng could ask, Ling Qingyan had already walked out the door.

Here, Shen Xuhuai was opening the newsletters sent from various sources.

Originally, he agreed to Lingling to help her find out the origin of the jade pendant only because of his interests, but the more he investigated, the more he found that there were many unexpected things hidden in it.

And what shocked him the most was that this matter was actually related to Duke Yu's Mansion.

Thinking of Su Lingxi's actions in the paddock, Shen Xuhuai's eyes couldn't help but deepen, and he ordered: "Send someone to Huaizhou to investigate this matter, and don't startle the snake."

"Yes."

The person hidden in the dark responded, and then disappeared into the study as quietly as the wind.

Shen Xuhuai looked down at the newspaper in his hand, and a gleam of light flashed in his amber pupils.

While he was meditating, there was a sudden knock on the door outside——

"My lord, Mr. Ling is here."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Qingyan's loud voice came from afar: "Shen Chao, I'm here to see you!"

Shen Xuhuai sighed helplessly, put the informant under the pile of books on the table, got up and went out.

Ling Qingyan was holding the food box of Tianxiang Pavilion in his hand, and when he saw Shen Xuhuai, he had an expression of "I knew you were lying to me".

"I didn't lie to you." Shen Xuhuai saw through his little thoughts at a glance.

"Who can tell?"

Ling Qingyan snorted softly, brushed past him, walked into the study first, sat down at the table, opened the food box, and brought out the steaming vinegar chicken.

Shen Xuhuai looked at his series of actions, and expressed his incomprehension: "You ran here tirelessly just to eat at my place?"

"Yes, so what? Who told our elder son to take care of so many affairs that he doesn't even have time to have a meal with me?"

Hearing this tone is not happy again.

Shen Xuhuai had nothing to do with him, walked to the table and sat down, and asked the servants to fetch two sets of bowls and chopsticks, before explaining to him: "I'm really busy, I didn't mean to refuse your appointment."

Ling Qingyan said: "The affairs of the Liang family have come to an end, and it's not your turn to write this file. Shen Chao, are you planning something again?"

Hearing the latter sentence, Shen Xuhuai understood why he came today.

"You and I are officials in the same dynasty. Others only say that you are eloquent and have a clever mouth, but they don't know that you have a delicate mind and are able to handle affairs with ease among the parties."

"Qingyan, since you're asking me that, you must already know something, right?"

Shen Xuhuai smiled and looked at him, already seeing through everything.

Ling Qingyan was stared at by him, and the vinegar stuffed into his mouth almost got stuck in his throat. After recovering, he said, "If I know, can I still ask you?"

Shen Xuhuai couldn't stand him pretending to be so stupid, and said quietly: "It's fine if you don't know, but this matter has nothing to do with you."

"."

Ling Qingyan glanced at him coolly, and didn't hesitate to cut to the chase, and said straight to the point: "That day in the palace, the person Ling Ling saw was you, right?"

The fact that Jin Meiren was thrown into the cold palace caused quite a stir in the court, most of which was because Jin Meiren's father was the most powerful lieutenant beside King Jing'an.

It was precisely because of this that Ling Qingyan kept a few extra thoughts. Whoever thought of this investigation found Shen Xuhuai.

"I don't care about you helping Lingling enter the capital, but now that she has entered the palace as a concubine, why do you still want to see her?"

It was fine for him to see Ling Ling privately, but he was actually seen by others.

Ling Qingyan really couldn't figure it out, what was it that was worth his risk to meet Ling Ling in the palace?
There was still a faint smile on Shen Xuhuai's lips, completely opposite to Ling Qingyan's seriousness, he said: "Last time I told you that I promised to help Ling Ling investigate something, and now there is a clue."

Hearing this, Ling Qingyan finally remembered, and couldn't help frowning: "What did you find?"

"Do you still remember the rumors about Duke Yu that circulated in the capital?"

Ling Qingyan thought for a while, then nodded.

He had indeed heard about that incident. At that time, there were rumors in the capital that the relationship between Youyao and Pei Ce was unclear, but then the rumors about them suddenly disappeared, and instead, it was rumored that something about Duke Yu when he was young Pile of gossip.

If Ling Qingyan remembered correctly, the rumors were that Duke Yu once fell in love with a singer and gave birth to a child.

Mrs. Yu Guogong was also so angry that she had a hard time giving birth. After giving birth to Su Lingxi, she passed away after a short time.

But what does this matter have to do with Ling Ling?
Shen Xuhuai said: "That singer is not an ordinary person, her surname is Yan."
