She raised her eyes and saw that it was the food on the ground that had attracted the mice, and they all gathered around to feast.

Su Ruoxi sneered: "You are the only ones who like this kind of food..."

"Princess, Mrs. Zunguo has sent you a message." Dan Mo came in from outside the house, holding a gold-plated message on his phone.

Su Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What does the post say?"

Dan Mo opened it in front of Su Qingcheng: "Mrs. Zunguo said that she would like to drink tea tomorrow and invites you to taste the fairy tea."

"Okay, you go and give a message to the people at her house, then give some broken silver and tell Xiaodie to take her directly to my wing tomorrow."

After Dan Mo retreated, Su Qingcheng's eyes were still fixed on the post on the table.

Mrs. Zunguo must have thought clearly about cooperating with her, but she is only a princess after all, and her hands cannot be stretched so long.

After thinking about it, Su Qingcheng got up and walked to Ye Tantai's study.

"Your Majesty, are you here?" Su Qingcheng asked tentatively after knocking on the door.

"Here, just come in," Ye Tantai's voice was gentle and magnetic, with his unique feeling, "What's the matter?"

"I would like to ask the prince how to find Gu Huoyan." Su Qingcheng walked slowly to his side.

"You want him to help you bring Princess Lu Xuerou back?" Ye Tantai revealed Su Qingcheng's purpose without a moment's hesitation. Su Qingcheng was stunned for a moment before nodding in recognition.

"I may have to travel far away for a while, and I want to pick up Lu Xuerou before then. It has been more than a month since she gave birth. The queen has not released her yet because she obviously wants to kidnap the emperor's grandson."

After Ye Tantai was silent for a moment, he knocked on the table with his slender fingers: "Where are you going, Princess?"

"I'm going to do some personal things. Isn't there nothing the Emperor Taisun can do about it?"

Ye Tantai's mind seemed not to be focused on this at all. He casually picked up the scroll on the side and read it: "He has no real power."

Su Qingcheng pursed her lips and continued: "That's why I need Gu Huoyan's help."

"The king of Japan will help you make an appointment with him. I wonder where the private matters that the princess mentioned will be handled?" Ye Tantai said.

Su Qingcheng nodded and said slowly: "Go to the south. In this case, I will wait for news from the prince."

After that, she left Ye Tantai's study.

Su Mansion.

Ever since Su Ruoxi fell out with the maids, all the food the maids brought her was sour. Su Ruoxi felt like vomiting after taking a bite and couldn't eat at all. Coupled with the cold night wind, she soon fell ill. .

She asked the maids to ask for a doctor, but two days had passed and the doctor had not come.

Su Ruoxi lay weakly on the bed, her lips were chapped and peeled, and there was no color at all.

"Second miss..."

"Second miss..."

Several weak sounds woke Su Ruoxi from her half-asleep state. She always tried her best to get up from the bed, trying to find the source of the sounds.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Miss Second, I'm Xiao Tao." Xiao Tao is one of Su Ruoxi's personal maids.

Su Ruoxi stood up from the bed as if she suddenly saw a beam of light, and walked to the window. She opened the window cautiously with anticipation.

Xiaotao came in from the window with a big food box and clean clothes in her hands.

"Miss, I gave the guards a few bags of broken silver while the sisters were sleeping before they dared to come over. You hurry up and eat." Xiao Tao opened the food box, which contained Su Ruoxi's favorite dishes from the Beijing restaurant.

Su Ruoxi burst into tears all of a sudden. She didn't even bother to pick up the dishes and chopsticks. She just grabbed the food with her bare hands and stuffed it into her mouth like a beggar on the street.

Xiao Tao lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Miss, although Xiao Tao only joined you halfway, I really can't bear to see Miss suffer."

"You... tomorrow..." Su Ruoxi stuffed it into her mouth while talking, whining so hard that she couldn't hear clearly.

Xiaotao poured a glass of water for her and handed it to her, her eyes full of distress and guilt: "Miss, please eat slowly. I didn't know that she was also infected with the cold. I should give her some medicine to get over it."

Su Ruoxi swallowed hard, took a sip of water, and said, "It's okay, I'm already content. Xiaotao, you are the only one who treats me best."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed the food and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "By the way...how is mother?"

The tears that Xiao Tao had just held back were saved again, and her voice was choked with sobs as she said: "In order to plead for the young lady, the madam has been kneeling outside the master's study. Her legs are almost broken from kneeling."

Hearing this, Su Ruoxi couldn't eat anymore. She chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it, and took a look at the clean clothes Xiao Tao brought in.

"There are people outside guarding me so I can't run away. Can you give me bath water?" Her voice was unusually calm, which sounded inexplicably scary in the dark night.

Xiaotao shook her head and said, "But I should be able to bring a wet handkerchief to the lady. Does the lady want to take a bath?"

"Okay, then you can bring me a clean wet handkerchief and clean sheets and bedding tomorrow. It's best to bring the incense from my room as well, and then help me send a message to Prince Duan's Mansion."

Xiao Tao nodded confusedly, helped Su Ruoxi change into clean clothes and left.

After Su Qingcheng had breakfast, she went straight to Yipin Immortal Tea.

Xiaodie stood at the door of the store to greet her early, and Su Qingcheng put on her veil and walked into the teahouse.

Although she hasn't been here for a long time, she has been looking at the teahouse's account books every day, so she is not unfamiliar with everything here.

"Did Minglan go back?" Su Qingcheng asked.

Xiaodie nodded and said, "She left half a month ago and should come back on the fifth day of next month."

Su Qingcheng glanced briefly and then went upstairs to the wing: "When Mrs. Zunguo is here, just bring her over."

"it is good."

Su Qingcheng's wing is located in the middle of the top floor of the teahouse. Due to its special structure, the shape of her wing is different from ordinary rooms. It is round.

Moreover, the windows around the wing can provide a panoramic view of everything in the teahouse. This was later remodeled by Jin Zhen according to her requirements.

She sat on a soft chair and looked at the situation in the teahouse hall. Suddenly, a figure in the corner attracted her attention.

It's Cai Zhiwu.

"Does that gentleman come often?" she asked the girl serving tea next to her.

The girl looked in the direction of Su Qingcheng's finger and said, "I come here often and sit in that seat, usually once every three to five days. Sister Xiaodie saw that he was a regular visitor, so she often reserved that seat for him."

Su Qingcheng didn't know what happened between Cai Zhiwu and Ye Tantai, but he had a vague intuition that he would know some secrets about Ye Tantai's life experience.

After all, the Cai family was also one of the top literary figures in the capital in the previous dynasty.

But for some reason, the Cai family lost after the emperor came to power.

There must be some connection between the two...

"Princess, Madam Zunguo has arrived."
