After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

"Be good, it's okay. I'm just here and not going anywhere." Ye Tantai stroked her gently, and did not stop until the breathing of the person in his arms gradually stabilized.

The next day, everyone packed their luggage and headed back.

The Yuanri Festival has passed, which means that spring is coming. The group of people walked and stopped. This trip to Qingshui actually spanned half of the winter.

The journey back was smooth, but what no one expected was that the capital city had changed drastically.

Inexplicable yellow paper and red symbols are posted all over the street. The banners hung high are no longer the proud Royal Forest Army logo, but scary-looking black and white skulls. The ground is covered with glutinous rice...

"What's going on?" Everyone was stunned, especially the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince. Seeing his city and his subjects in such a mess, anger arose spontaneously.

Ye Tantai was not surprised by the scene in front of him. During his time in Qingshui City, the shadow guards would also send news to the capital. The emperor had gone crazy under the bewitchment of the so-called adopted son.

It's just that the impact of the words is far less than what is seen with the eyes. He frowned and explained: "The method proposed by the emperor's adopted son said that this can prolong the emperor's life."

"Why is the emperor's grandfather so obsessed with the art of immortality! When will he understand the truth of life and death?" The emperor's grandson beat his thigh angrily, feeling sad for the people in his heart.

"This must be stopped." Su Qingcheng put down the curtain. She had been observing all the way and found that in addition to yellow symbols on the street, there were also signs prohibiting eating meat. "If this continues, most of the people in the capital will die because they can't eat. Death by flesh.”

She looked solemn, obviously angry at the behavior of Emperor Nanye and the emperor's adopted son.

The carriage went to Yunan Prince's Mansion first. The two got off the carriage and continued driving into the palace. The emperor's grandson needed to report the situation of this trip to the emperor.

Su Qingcheng and Su Qingcheng returned to the palace and parted ways at the same time. After being out for a long time, there were piles of things waiting for them to deal with.

Seeing the two separated, Dan Mo immediately came to Su Qingcheng to report the recent situation: "There have been no major changes in the Su Mansion. Just like in the letter I wrote to the princess, after King Duan's accident, Liu Rumei and her daughter came back. They were in front of the door. I knelt for a whole day, but the master ignored me, and then disappeared."

"The princess must have seen the situation in the capital. According to the imperial decree, the meat in the entire capital has been unsaleable, and the palace has not had meat for a long time."

"In the past few days when the princess was on her way back, a strange thing happened in the teahouse. The princess from Dongling Kingdom is the eldest princess Dongling, and the prince is the fourth prince. They have been very mysterious since they came to the capital. They have been staying at the inn where they stayed. The emperor invited Even if they go to the palace, they won’t go.”

Su Qingcheng frowned slightly and said, "What does it have to do with the teahouse?"

"Just the day before yesterday, the fourth prince suddenly appeared at the teahouse and took over the teahouse. Yesterday, too, he gave a full thousand taels of silver."

"Did he go to the teahouse and do something?" Su Qingcheng asked doubtfully.

Dan Mo shook his head and said: "He didn't even show up. But no one except the people in the teahouse knew the identity of the person who booked the restaurant, and he didn't seem to want people to know. The boys he sent were all dressed as Nanye."

"It is indeed a strange thing..." Su Qingcheng said softly.

Nanye and Dongling's state banquet is tomorrow. The fourth prince's current behavior is clearly waiting for Su Qingcheng to find him, but why is he doing this?

If it were anyone else, that would be fine. He was the fourth prince of Dongling. He might be the breakthrough point in that battle. She had to go see him.

"Dan Mo, go prepare the carriage. If I guess correctly he will book the teahouse today, I will go and see for myself."

"Yes."

After Dan Mo left, Su Qingcheng hurried back to the house and changed her clothes. When she walked out of the room, she was stopped by Wu Ya, who had a solemn look on her face.

Su Qingcheng saw that she had something to tell her, so she stopped and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"I have to tell you something..." She seemed a little hesitant and uncertain, but looking at Su Qingcheng's firm eyes, she spoke slowly, "I just went around the street and found out some things. In addition to not being able to eat meat, the people must also cover up their faces if there are girls in the family who have not left the palace, and wait until the full moon to select a person to pay tribute."

Hearing this, Su Qingcheng frowned and interrupted angrily: "It's just nonsense! What kind of immortality technique, I think it's just a deceptive and crooked magic."

"Yes, please listen to me first," Wu Ya continued, "Didn't I tell you before that the Paradise Sect is divided into two factions? My father is a right-wing conservative who has the right to speak about the Paradise Sect, and there is a leftist."

"You mean..."

Su Qingcheng was shocked. If the matter was really what she guessed, it would be completely beyond the scope of what she could solve.

"Well, this method was developed by the leftists. They proposed that the Paradise Sect needs immortality if it wants to innovate. However, what they wanted was for me to be sacrificed. Dad strongly opposed it, and the Paradise Sect was destroyed soon after."

Too many changes happened at once, and Su Qingcheng's heart was in a mess. She took a deep breath to calm down and said: "In other words, the leftists have not been destroyed, and the emperor's adopted son is very likely to collude with the leftists of the Paradise Sect. Together."

Wu Ya nodded, with a somewhat painful look on his face: "And I feel that the extermination of the family has something to do with the leftists."

"I understand. Let's deal with the matter at hand first and accompany me to the teahouse." Su Qingcheng said calmly.

"it is good."

She got on the carriage and frowned into the character "Chuan".

She was overwhelmed by the events one after another. The intermittent clues seemed to be connected, but there was no evidence to prove that they were related.

But what Su Qingcheng can be sure of is that, as Wu Ya said, the Miemen are inseparable from the left wing. The emperor's adopted son and the left wing are most likely to be in a cooperative relationship. Then she needs to find a way to confirm the identity of the emperor's adopted son. The person she was thinking about...

The state banquet was about to come, and the purpose of the fourth prince Dongling was still unknown, but she still had to find a way to make peace between the two countries and prevent the war.

Su Qingcheng closed her eyes tightly and went through these things in her mind over and over again. After taking a few deep breaths, her heart finally calmed down.

What she has to do now is to do her best to prevent the war between the two countries, and then find out what happened between the emperor's adopted son and the leftist.

After thinking this through, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe I was too relaxed during these days in Qingshui City, so I felt a little uncomfortable when I came back." She murmured in a low voice, and couldn't help but recall those happy times in Qingshui City.

Those ordinary and happy days were something she would never forget. She wished she was the maid Asu, and Ye Tantai was not a prince, but just an ordinary person, Ye Sheng...

It's a pity that she is the Su Qingcheng who bears the blood feud, and Ye Tantai is the hope of Nanye in the future.
