Chapter 149: Connection Secret Words: Miss Inch of Grass
The next morning.
Yun Youying went out with the food box, but was stopped by the guards as soon as she reached the cell door. "What are you doing?"
"I am the daughter of the Yun family. I am here to visit the Fourth Prince. I hope you can be accommodating."
After Yun Youying finished speaking, he immediately took out some money to bribe the guards at the door.
The guard knew that he had to be careful when taking money from others, so he was no longer indifferent to her.
After the guard collected the money, he looked her over and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and inform them."
Seeing how serious they were, Yun Youying felt a little uneasy, but she had to remain calm and said, "Thank you."
After the guard left, she stood there anxiously waiting.
Soon, the guard came back and said to her, "Go in."
The guard led Yun Youying into the cell, and after whispering something to a jailer in the cell, the jailer led the way for her.
The cell was lifeless, dark and gloomy. Several oil lamps on the wall were burning all the time, day and night.
While walking through a long and quiet corridor, Yun Youying inadvertently glanced at the cells on both sides, only to find that the prisoners inside were all tortured and covered with bruises, a horrible sight.
Seeing this, Yun Youying suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't help but worry about Xu Wusheng and quickened her pace.
Finally, in a cell at the end, she saw Xu Wusheng's figure. Seeing that he was intact, she slowed down her pace a little.
When Xu Wusheng heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw that the person coming was Yun Youying. He was stunned for a moment.
"Ying'er, why are you here?"
There was a hint of panic in Xu Wusheng's words, and he didn't really want Yun Youying to come here.
Yun Youying came to Xu Wusheng and said, "Your Highness, I came to see you."
She picked up the food box she brought with her, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made. I got the recipe from my old friend Miss Cuncaoxin last night, so I made it this morning and thought of bringing it to you to taste. Your Highness, eat it while it's hot."
When Xu Wusheng heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, and a barely perceptible strange color flashed across his eyes.
He noticed that there was something wrong with her words, as if there was something else behind them.
Yun Youying does not have an old friend named Cuncaoxin, so Cuncaoxin may not refer to a name.
The center of the grass is "sun", and the combination of "cun" and "sun" is the word "time".
Miss Cuncaoxin is Miss Shi!
She had met with Shi Jin last night, and got some information from her to hand over to me, and the information was hidden in the osmanthus cake.
After Xu Wusheng understood the message that Xu Yun Youying wanted to convey to him, he said, "Since it's a new pastry, I have to taste it carefully."
"Your Highness can pick up the cakes from the bottom layer when you eat, because the cakes at the bottom will be out of the pan first, and they will get cold if you don't eat them now. But Your Highness can't swallow them all in one gulp just because they are too delicious. You have to savor them slowly and give me feedback later."
"Okay, I understand."
After the two of them finished talking, Yun Youying looked at the jailer beside him and said, "Please open the door, sir. I will bring some cakes to His Highness."
The jailer standing by couldn't understand their secret language, but he thought the habits of these princes, nobles, and young ladies from wealthy families were really strange.
They were actually discussing pastries with relish in the dark cell.
But Weidong had told him to keep a close eye on their every move, and that anything she sent had to be carefully checked before being released.
"Wait a minute, Prime Minister Qin has instructed that everything sent to the prison cell must be inspected. Your Highness and Miss Yun, please cooperate."
After the jailer finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned Yun Youying to hand over the food box for him to inspect.
After hearing the jailer's words, Yun Youying's face froze. She hesitated for a while before handing over the food box. The moment the food box left her hand, she deliberately glanced at Xu Wusheng with worry in her eyes.
Similarly, a hint of panic appeared in Xu Wusheng's indifferent eyes.
The tense atmosphere was immediately ignited.
The two men watched nervously as the jailer opened the stone door, then took out a small dagger and cut a piece of osmanthus cake on it in the middle.
The soft and sweet osmanthus cake is cut into two halves, and the delicate yellow cake body can be seen at a glance.
But the jailer seemed not satisfied with checking only one osmanthus cake. Seeing that there was nothing unusual with the one on top, he moved on to another cake next to it.
There were only seven or eight cakes on a plate, so it was sufficient to check two of them. However, the jailer had bad intentions and wanted to check a few more cakes.
Seeing him pointing his claws at the osmanthus cake below, Xu Wusheng seemed to be unable to suppress his anger any longer. He said with a cold face: "How dare you! You are checking this out, are you trying to make me eat the leftovers? Are you insulting me or the royal family? How dare a jailer insult the royal family? Is it because Prime Minister Qin is backing him up?"
Xu Wusheng sneered, "If I tell Prime Minister Qin that if he hands you over to me, I will cooperate with him in investigating the case, what do you think he will do?"
Xu Wusheng's words shocked the jailer, who stopped in time, closed the lid, then bowed his head and said in a low voice: "I dare not insult the royal family. I was disrespectful to Your Highness just now. Please forgive me."
In order to gain forgiveness, the jailer slapped himself in the face, and Xu Wusheng watched it all coldly.
Yun Youying looked a little dazed at how quickly the jailer's attitude changed.
After waiting for the jailer to slap him twice, Xu Wusheng said, "Forget it, open the door quickly and give me the cakes."
After saying "Yes", the jailer immediately opened the door of the cell and personally handed the food box to Xu Wusheng.
Yun Youying also came in. She gently took Xu Wusheng's hand, looking expectantly, "Brother Wusheng, I'll wait for you to come home."
Xu nodded silently, "I will taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. You have been making cakes since early morning, so you must be tired. Go back and rest early."
Xu Wusheng watched Yun Youying leave reluctantly.
After sending the message, Yun Youying felt that the burden on her shoulders was lighter and she breathed a sigh of relief when she left.
Only after seeing Yun Youying leave did Xu Wusheng move to the tea table to eat osmanthus cake.
But the jailer was still standing there, staring at him silently. Xu looked at the jailer silently and said humorously: "Why, do you stay here to have a taste?"
The jailer then realized that his behavior was inappropriate, so he quietly came out of the cell and locked the door.
After seeing everyone leave, Xu silently opened the food box, quickly removed the top layer of pastries, and after looking around, he intuitively locked onto the piece in the middle of the bottom layer.
He picked up the cake and took a bite, then saw a note sticking out from a corner, and his eyes lit up slightly.
In order to get the jailer out of the way, he picked up the kettle on the table and said, "The cakes are too dry. Give me a new kettle of water to moisten my throat."
Really difficult to maintain.
The jailer cursed Xu Wusheng in his heart, but said respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness, wait a moment."
After seeing the jailer leaving with the teapot, Xu Wusheng immediately broke open the osmanthus cake and took out the note inside to read.
When he saw the words on the note, his eyes suddenly opened wide. The words on the note were beyond his expectations.
