Si Xi sent all the palace staff away, and ordered the imperial guards to guard the door, saying that the emperor was resting, and he was not allowed to disturb the big things.
The surroundings became quiet, and only the sound of wind and rain could be heard, drop by drop hitting the eaves.
"It's raining." Duan Baiyue pulled the quilt up and covered his shoulders, "Just sleeping."
Chu Yuan said: "Jin Tai estimates that tomorrow will come."
"I stay?" Duan Baiyue asked, "After sending him away, I will go to Liushang Jiange."
Chu Yuan shook his head: "No need."
"Well, if he cries, makes trouble and hangs himself, don't get used to it." Duan Baiyue said, "Just beat the board and throw it out."
Chu Yuan frowned: "Size is the king of a country, how can you say that you are like a shrew."
"I don't know him yet." Duan Baiyue covered his eyes with warm palms, "In order to seek benefits, you have to make trouble if you don't have anything to do." What's more, this time something really happened. Chu's ineffective protection, the reason is the first.
Chu Yuan said: "After so many years, I'm used to going back and forth. As long as he stops, it's okay for Da Chu to keep him."
"Stop talking about this." Duan Baiyue said, "Sleep well."
Chu Yuan responded in a low voice, and didn't speak any more, his heart was still in a mess.
Duan Baiyue gently pressed his forehead with his thumb and hugged him even tighter.
Although there are a lot of complicated affairs in the court, but seeing the emperor's anger in the early court, no one would be ignorant to ask for this time. Tao Rende and Liu Dajiong have been playing chess in the mansion, and Wen Liunian is carrying a wooden barrel, yo Dada went out of the city and heard that he was going fishing in the mountains for recreation. So the rest of the adults also scattered like birds and beasts - even if the sky fell, it would not be too late to play again tomorrow morning.
So Chu Yuan had a rare sleep and slept until the night, and it was already the time to hold the lamp when he opened his eyes. Duan Baiyue instructed the royal chef to make a light chicken noodle soup, and there was no oil star. With a few dishes of side dishes, it tasted just right on a stormy night.
Chu Yuan asked, "You eat this too?"
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Could it be in your heart that I should eat pork trotters and beef?"
Chu Yuan said: "Well."
"I can accompany you to eat with you, even if it is light." Duan Baiyue handed him the chopsticks and took the opportunity to say, "If you cook your own food, you can eat it for a lifetime without oil or salt."
Chu Yuan held his head lazily: "Zhen, no, do it."
The Southwest King calmly bowed his head and ate the noodles.
Even if you try it once, just once.
It's okay if the bottom of the pot leaks, and the kitchen blows up.
After a while, Sixi brought snacks and wine again.
Chu Yuan asked, "You passed it on?"
"This is not made by the royal chef. I just sent Duan Nian to get it back from the outside." Duan Baiyue said, "Although the wine is not as good as Feixia Qifeng, it is also sweet and mellow, and you can drink it once in a while."
Chu Yuan opened the seal and smelled it. He felt it was really good, so he asked, "Going outside? It's stuffy in the house."
Duan Baiyue nodded: "As you like."
It was still raining in the sky, and the roof could not wait. The two simply set up a small table in the corridor, with a dim yellow light, a plate of pastries, and a few dried apricots, watching the rain and listening to the wind.
"What's the name of the wine?" Chu Yuan asked.
"The owner of Jinxiu Store brewed it himself, without a name." Duan Baiyue said, "Everyone from the Southwest House can brew wine. This was originally used when he was going to marry his daughter, but I asked for a jar in advance."
The raindrops fell into the wine glass, and Chu Yuan raised his head and drank it.
Duan Baiyue sat opposite and filled another glass for him.
The autumn rain didn't stop until the second half of the night, when Chu Yuan was slightly drunk, he was beaten and carried back to the bedroom.
In the early morning of the second day, Duan Baiyue left the palace and took the killer of the Southwest House and the Shadow Guard of the Great Inner to secretly go to Liushang Jiange.
Accompanying him were the shadow guards of the Shadow Palace who rushed to join in the fun even though he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
The shadow guard of the Chasing Shadow Palace was beaming with joy, feeling that he was still a friend of the court, unlike Sun Moon Villa and Qijueguo, who would slap our handsome faces every time we met, which was very heart-wrenching. After rushing for a day, everyone was sleeping in the forest at night, a group of people were noisy and barbeque, Duan Baiyue was leaning on the branch alone, watching the stars twinkling in the distance.
Inside the palace, Chu Yuan was sitting behind the dragon's case, staring at Jin Tai without saying a word. Standing next to Wen Liunian, he yawned more than a dozen times, and finally he couldn't help it and asked, "King Gaoli, would you like some water?" thirsty.
Jin Tai repeated for the eighteenth time: "I also ask the Emperor Chu to give Ah Shu some justice!"
Chu Yuan said: "Okay."
Wen Liunian hurriedly said: "The most urgent task at the moment is to find out who the murderer is behind the scenes. Fortunately, the princess still remembers her brother. If King Goryeo can accompany and talk more in the past few days, maybe the princess will be able to recover her memory sooner, or sooner rather than later. Bring the perpetrators to justice."
Jin Tai said: "Now Ah Shu—"
Wen Liunian interrupted him emotionally: "If you waste time and drag on your illness, the princess will probably stay like this forever, and she will never be able to remember who is behind the scenes. At that time, the guilt on King Goryeo's shoulders will be great. Yes."
Jin Tai is inexplicable, why did he become the culprit on my shoulders
Chu Yuan said: "come here!"
"Your Majesty." The guard pushed open the door and entered.
"Send King Goryeo to see the princess." Chu Yuan stood up, "What the imperial doctor said, just do what the imperial doctor said, until the princess regained her memory."
Jin Tai still wanted to speak, but Chu Yuan had already turned around and went to the inner room, so he had to give up.
"Your Highness." Shadow Guard said in the barren hills outside the city, "The people who chased the Shadow Palace left first."
"Go to Liushang Jiange?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Shadow Guard nodded: "Yes, do you want to go down and chase people back?"
"No need." Duan Baiyue shook his head.
"But..." The Shadow Guard looked embarrassed, there were unknowns everywhere in this trip, and he should have been extremely careful, but that group of people were extremely demonic, so they just left, and they didn't know what would happen.
Duan Baiyue smiled and said, "There's really nothing to worry about for those who come out of the Shadow Palace. Even if you are unlucky and stabbed, Brother Qin won't stand by and watch, but we will take advantage of it."
The Shadow Guard stepped back in response, but his heart was still at a loss.
Liushang Jiange was not far from the royal city, and in the early morning a few days later, everyone arrived at the city gate. It is barely at the feet of the emperor, and it looks prosperous and prosperous. There are many foreign merchants in the city.
Duan Baiyue asked for the tip of the teapot to rest for a while. Near noon, Duan Nian went upstairs to sit opposite him and said, "It's the Yuyi Club."
"What is the Feather Clothing Club?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"My subordinate just heard about it." Duan Nian said, "The Feather Clothing Fair is held here every three years, and the Jinxiuzhuang clothing store in the fabric shop in the south and the north will come here with their proud works, not only to exchange experiences with peers, By the way, we can also negotiate a few businesses, the scale is naturally not comparable to the Jiangnan Sericulture Association, but there are still many people."
"Where's Liushang Jiange?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Liushang Jiange will also participate." Duan Nian said, "Although it is a Jianghu sect, it has been quiet for many years. Now it is more like a local business gang. It is not unusual to participate in the Yuyi Club."
Duan Baiyue said: "Where?"
"Your Highness is also going?" Duan Nian shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not right. All the businessmen who came here are businessmen who either have innovative methods of weaving, or know how to dye them, or at least a few years of novel dresses and gowns. We It would be too conspicuous to go out empty-handed.”
Duan Baiyue said: "Can't it be a non-local merchant, going to buy new cloth?"
"My subordinates have only inquired about it, and this is really not possible." Duan Nian said, "The merchants ordered, and there are two spring and summer brocade festivals. Ninety-nine percent of the feather clothing fairs are craftsmen."
Duan Baiyue touched her chin, thoughtfully.
Duan Nian asked, "Why don't we go back to the inn first?"
Duan Baiyue glanced at the street, but smiled: "You can also meet acquaintances here."
Duan Nian followed his gaze and looked down, and saw that he was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy with white clothes and black hair, who looked a lot like the little prince.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's Yun Wuying."
"Daming King's adopted son?" Duan Nian said, "After the battle of the East China Sea, he will also return to the overseas fairy mountain together." But he didn't expect to appear here.
Wuying stood on tiptoe, thinking about whether to squeeze in to buy a sesame candy to eat, or go back to the inn to sleep, when an oiled paper bag was held up in front of him.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Little son."
Shadowless: "… "
Duan Baiyue said: "Young master is also here to participate in the Feather Clothing Club?"
Wuying waved his hand: "I just happened to pass by, and I will be leaving the day after tomorrow."
Duan Baiyue said bluntly: "I wonder if your son can do me a favor?"
Wuying shook his head desperately: "I don't care about the gossip of the court, nor the gossip of the Central Plains Martial Arts."
Duan Baiyue said: "I'm not meddling, I just want to ask for advice."
Wuying asked, "What's the matter?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Last time I was at Rainbow Mouth, I saw people from the Fishtail Clan wearing black clothes like scales attached to their bodies. I don't know what it is?"
Wuying replied, "Cloth." What else could it be
Duan Baiyue asked: "Does the son have it?"
Wuying thought quickly in his heart, whether to tell the truth or not, it seems that there is trouble to come to the door - there is naturally some, after all, the route back to the East China Sea is long, and from time to time, you need to go swimming in the sea to kill time.
Duan Baiyue said again: "If there is, this king would like to buy a lot of gold."
Wuying asked, "What if not?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Then the king will borrow the young master for a few days."
Shadowless: "… "
Borrowing clothes and borrowing people is obviously more cost-effective for the former. Wuying didn't want to be too stiff with him, after all, he was the king of the Southwest, the emperor of the young master's Lord Wen, and Nan Moxie seemed to have a good relationship with his adoptive father.
Duan Baiyue said: "Thank you."
Wuying put the small burden on her hands obediently.
Black clothes seem to be ordinary, but once they enter the water, they can instantly become shiny and smooth, like fish skin. Duan Baiyue and Duan Nian became Donghai merchants and went all the way to Cuiyu Building.
The Yuyi Club has been held for three days, and many people have already made business and are ready to go home. Therefore, the number of people in the building is much less than at the beginning. The largest merchant among the remaining people is Liushangjiange. A man in his fifties was taking a nap against a pillar. After asking, he found out that it was the second master of Liushang Jiange, whose name was Fenglei.
Duan Baiyue put the burden on the table.
Feng Lei yawned, raised his eyelids and glanced at him. Seeing that the other party was so unattractive and dressed in tatters, he didn't even bother to stand up, and asked casually, "Do you want to buy cloth or sell cloth?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Sell cloth."
"Take it out and take a look." Feng Lei stood up and stretched his waist vigorously, one pair of trousers was empty, but only one leg.
