The Embroidered Uniform Envoy could see clearly that the other party was wearing the uniform of the yamen, but he still turned a blind eye and acted so ruthlessly and fiercely. In Xie Yunhuai's opinion, it was obvious that he was protecting Shen Xihe.
"Doctor Qi, do you know the embroiderer just now?" Shen Xihe asked.
Xie Yunhuai suddenly mentioned the Embroidered Clothes Envoy. Naturally, he had heard what she said to Zhenzhu in the carriage, so he no longer concealed his identity.
The Embroidered Clothes Envoy was elusive. Shen Xihe had only dealt with him twice and had never seen the Embroidered Clothes Envoy he met today.
"The fifth son of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, born out of wedlock." Xie Yunhuai replied.
Duke of Zhao, born out of wedlock
Shen Xihe frowned slightly, the person just now was clearly wearing the scent of Togaro.
Tagara is the best quality agarwood. One ounce of it is worth a hundred ounces of gold. It is much rarer than ambergris, which is considered precious by the world.
This kind of spice is in short supply in the market, and only the rich can afford it.
Although the Duke of Zhao's Mansion was still a dukedom, it had long since fallen into decline. In order to save face, the second son even married the daughter of a merchant. The wedding was so beautiful that it stretched for ten miles and was talked about in Kyoto for a long time.
How could he afford such a precious thing? Was it a reward from Emperor Youning
Shen Xihe fell into deep thought and entered the city unknowingly. They entered the city at the time when the city gate was closed. Xie Yunhuai insisted on sending them back to the inn, so they naturally could not leave the city, so they asked for a room in the inn where they were staying.
After having dinner together, Shen Xihe saw that Xie Yunhuai was reluctant to speak before leaving, and he knew that he had something to say.
She personally arranged the tea set, and began by boiling spring water in a small stove, then dividing, brewing and pouring the tea with graceful movements, all in one go. It was a delight to watch her white hands move.
"Doctor Qi, please have some tea."
Xie Yunhuai looked down at the apricot yellow tea soup, and his nostrils were filled with the refreshing and pleasant tea fragrance: "Junshan Silver Needle. Princess, you seem to know me very well."
Shen Xihe did not pour herself tea, but a bowl of peach blossom drink: "The late Princess Xin and I were close friends. Before Princess Xin got married, she mentioned Doctor Qi to me."
Coincidentally, Shen Xihe and her eldest brother, the Prince of Northwest Shen Yun'an, had a deep sibling relationship. When Shen Xihe was eight years old, Shen Yun'an went to the capital and was gone for half a year. Only one month after his departure, Shen Xihe was yelling for her brother all day long, so Shen Yueshan had no choice but to give her a carrier pigeon.
After two months of sending letters by carrier pigeon, her carrier pigeon was accidentally injured and fell into the hands of a girl named Gu.
Miss Gu raised a carrier pigeon and sent it back to bring a letter and a small gift to apologize. If it were the current Shen Xihe, he would definitely just laugh it off.
Shen Xihe was very considerate back then and found it very novel, so he wrote back to comfort her. As a result, the two of them exchanged letters for six or seven years. Zhenzhu and others only knew that the other party's surname was Gu, and the correspondence ended only last year.
Shen Xihe knew who this Miss Gu was. She had no connection with the Gu family that was wiped out. She was also from a family of officials in Kyoto. However, she got into trouble late last year, and Minister Gu was exiled there. His daughter should be in the Yunting Palace now.
She could look for him after she entered Kyoto, but at the moment she defined this believer as Gu Qingzhi, so she naturally had other plans.
As for whether Shen Yueshan and Shen Yun'an went to investigate this Miss Gu, Shen Xihe was not afraid. Who said that a real address must be used for communication
