"Auntie Huang!? How did you know we were here?" Sheng Chenghan stammered, not forgetting to hide the little man beside him behind his back.

Xue Jinruo was pounding in his heart, thinking about how to speak, but he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Sheng Chenghan and Sheng Chengtang in the room.

Since they were acquaintances, it was not too much for her to ask for a glass of wine.

"I heard that the wine at Chunfeng Restaurant was good, so I came here to try it, but I didn't expect it to be gone. Fortunately, you guys have it here, so let's just eat at the same table." As Xue Jinruo spoke, he stepped forward and picked up the pot of wine. , "Let's go, the prince is over there."

She left in front of her, but the two people behind her were at a loss. Sheng Chenghan pulled Sheng Chengtang and asked in a low voice: "Should we go or not?"

"Do you dare not to go?" Sheng Chengtang raised his eyebrows, and the two of them sighed in unison and quickly followed Xue Jinruo's footsteps.

When the waiter saw this scene, he was naturally frightened, as if what Xue Jinruo took was not the wine, but the head on his neck.

He quickly ran to tell Liu Ben.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, no, Xue Jinruo still got the wine." He said as he pushed the door open. Liu Ben was closing his eyes to rest, and was a little unhappy when he was interrupted, but after listening to the waiter's words , the panic in his heart was more than the anger of being woken up.

After hearing this, he became at a loss and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures.

……

On the other side, Xue Jinruo went to study the problems inside after getting the wine.

The wine pot was very small, much smaller than the bug Cui Zige spat out before. It definitely didn't get in out of thin air. Even if it could get in, someone would definitely notice such a big bug entering the abdomen through the mouth.

If not, then they must just be insect eggs.

Sheng Chengtang and Sheng Chenghan watched Xue Jinruo bring the wine but did not drink it. Instead, he kept looking inside, which made them confused.

The three people in the room were all staring at Xue Jinruo, waiting for her to come to a conclusion.

Sheng Jingze naturally saw the confusion between the two of them, but he had no intention of telling them about this matter. After all, it involved a lot. If they knew about it, they would inevitably want to get involved, and they would have to protect them.

Xue Jinruo had already guessed that there were insect eggs in the wine, but he didn't know how they grew to such a large size in such a short period of time.

After thinking carefully for a long time, she came up with an idea. She picked out a few pieces of meat from the plate and poured wine on them.

In an instant, many black spots the size of millet grains appeared in the wine, and they quickly penetrated into the meat.

The weight of the meat dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the worms gradually changed from the size of a rice grain to the size of a soybean.

Sheng Chengtang and Sheng Chenghan both looked at the scene in front of them with their mouths wide open. They couldn't believe their eyes. They were thankful that they didn't drink just now, otherwise their stomachs would be full of excitement now.

Sheng Jingze was even more shocked when he saw this scene.

Although he had traveled around for many years, he had never seen anything like this before. He frowned and said, "This is what controls them."

"Yes." Xue Jinruo nodded, "It seems that Tianxiang Tower is not just selling black pimples, I'm afraid the smuggling is also related to them, and it's a Gu insect..."

She held her breath, closed her eyes, and said, "It has something to do with that person."

"What's the black bump, what's smuggling, what's that person, the emperor's uncle, the emperor's aunt, why can't I understand these words?" Sheng Chenghan asked.

He couldn't hide things in his heart. Now when he encountered something that needed to be solved, he immediately spoke. On the contrary, Sheng Chengtang just lowered his head and thought without saying much. He even patted Sheng Chenghan.

"I think it's government affairs. The emperor didn't tell us at the beginning, so we can't know about it." Sheng Chengtang reminded him quickly.

After hearing this, Sheng Chengtang still refused to give up and wanted to continue questioning. However, when he met Sheng Jingze's cold eyes, he immediately shrank back in fear and did not dare to speak again.

Xue Jinruo ignored these and said, "We can't find out any information if we sit down in Chunfeng Tower now. Someone still has to go deep into the dangerous situation."

That being said, she is the only available candidate now.

Qingyue, who had been hiding behind Sheng Chenghan, looked at everyone's expressions and spoke timidly: "Miss, is there anything I can do to help?"

Her opening suddenly made Xue Jinruo think about it.

Qingyue is smart and knows a lot about Gu insects, so she can help her outside.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the palace first." Xue Jinruo said quickly.

Although she had no conclusive evidence, she still felt that Chunfeng Tower must be related to Sheng Jiaojiao, so the person she saw outside the door must be Babao.

The few people did not dare to say anything more and immediately got up and returned to the Regent's Palace.

……

As soon as the few people left, the waiter went over to deliver the message.

"Shopkeeper, they have left."

After Liu Ben heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly: "Where is the wine? Have they drank?"

"I took a sip, but I don't know who drank it." How the waiter responded.

He still doesn't understand why it's just their Chunfeng Tower's signature wine, so why can't he ask the Princess Regent to drink it.

Liu Ben sighed: "Just in case, let's close the door for the next two days and thank guests."

"Shopkeeper, our business is booming at this time. I'm afraid it won't be good if we close it now." The waiter asked quickly.

He is here to work, and only if the restaurant's business is booming can he earn money, so naturally he doesn't want to go out of business.

"What do you know?" Liu Ben was furious when he heard this. He stepped forward and grabbed the waiter's collar, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Doesn't he know that business is booming now?

Plenty of money is beckoning to him, but now people are chasing him to the door of his house. If he doesn't restrain himself, all that money will become his coffin. If you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend it.

"Shopkeeper..." The waiter has never seen Liu Ben like this. Although he usually scolds his servants, he is indeed very generous to his employees, and the wages he offers are the highest in the capital. Only a lot of people are determined to stay in Chunfeng Tower.

But this is just a face that Liu Ben has worked hard to show. At least the guys in Chunfeng Tower don't know what he is like behind his back.

"We are temporarily closed, and wages will continue to be paid. We have been too tired recently, so let all the brothers have a good rest. Only by relaxing can the water flow smoothly." Upon hearing this, Liu Ben hurriedly let go of the waiter, tidied his clothes and said with a smile.
