Merlin, who had received the news in advance, had already ordered the dining room and prepared everything. When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, they briefly freshened up and drank a bowl of hot tea, and then the hot pot was served.

"Boss!" Ying Shishi ran into the flower hall happily and saluted everyone, "My lord, your highness, the commander-in-chief, good evening!" He smelled the smell of hot pot and unconsciously took a step forward. , looked at the hungry pot on the table, his face full of longing, but remembered that Shen Cha called him over because he had something to do, so he quickly turned to Shen Cha, saw her narrow expression, and smiled sheepishly. "I want my subordinates. do what?"

"Supper is ready in the dining room. You can bring it to Merlin. She is interrogating the prisoner in the dense forest of the Forbidden Army. You don't have to rush back after delivering the meal. Just stay there with her. If the prisoner wakes up before we go back, you can Just accompany her to review it."

"Really? Great! I obey your order!"

After listening to Shen Cha's words, Ying Fifteen almost jumped up with joy. Unfortunately, he also caught wind and cold a few days ago and has been bedridden. In fact, he was cured after taking two doses of medicine, but he rarely got sick. Everyone looked at him very strictly during this event. He was not allowed to do this or that. The pawns who raided Tantai's house and Heijia Camp several times did not let him participate. They told him not to do anything. Titus was depressed. In the past few days of recuperation, he had been so idle that he almost grew hairy. Now that he could finally go out to work, he was almost crazy with joy.

"Are you so happy?" Seeing him like this, Shen Cha couldn't help but smile, "I'm really holding myself back!" He walked back to Shen Haolin and sat down, taking the almond cake he handed over. "Remember, the chief interrogator is Merlin, and you are assisting. You must remain calm throughout the process and observe the prisoner's every move."

"Boss is worried that the prisoner will lie?" Ying Shishi frowned slightly, "Who is the prisoner?"

"Yu Qi's brother, Yu Shan." Shen Cha gave him his hand stove, "Take it, it's cold in the stone room. You are recovering from the cold. Don't catch the cold again."

"I understand! I'm taking my leave!"

Ying Fifteen held the stove in his arms, saluted everyone, and scampered away. His posture seemed lighter than before.

Shen Cha looked at his leaving figure, shook his head gently, took a bite of the almond cake in his hand, picked up the mutton soup that had been served next to him, blew the hot air, and took a small sip.

"What's going on, Your Highness?" Shen Haolin put the blanched mutton on the small plate in front of Shen Cha, and looked at Song Yaojia, who was silent and drinking soup with his head down, "I just felt that something was wrong with you, you were so violent. I’m very angry, someone from the Ministry of Rites has done something wrong again?”

"It's not anger, it's exhaustion." Song Yaojia smiled bitterly at Shen Haolin, "I haven't slept well for more than ten days."

"Why?" Bai Meng quickly took two bites of the mutton and threw a few handfuls of green vegetables into the hot pot. "What happened in the house? Did Prince Dai and Prince Ying quarrel? It shouldn't be. How many years have these two been together? Let’s stop arguing. Or is His Highness Prince Ning’s situation getting worse again?”

"None of them." Song Yaojia shook her head gently, "My father and uncle are so good, and they have endless things to talk about every day. Sometimes, I also find it quite puzzling. They have been together for decades. Yes, why do you still have so much to say?"

"The relationship between the two of them is very deep. Let alone decades, it will still be like this even if it is a few more decades." Bai Meng chuckled and put the mutton in his pot. They all were put on Song Yaojia's plate, "If you have any troubles, you can't stop eating. Eat it while it's hot."

"So?" Shen Cha finished the mutton on the plate and began to blanch the vegetables in his pot. "I heard from Miao Miao that Uncle Ning Wang is in good health these days. She can't do anything about the poison, but There are still other ways, and in short everything is developing in a good direction."

"Well!" Song Yaojia snatched two chopsticks of mutton from Bai Meng's pot, "After returning to Beijing, his condition in all aspects was much better than when he was in the imperial mausoleum. In the first few days when he came back, you also saw that he was a The situation is that the time spent asleep is much more than the time spent awake every day. Others have three meals a day, plus snacks and so on. It is good for him to have one serious meal a day. Sometimes I still vomited half of my food. Now I take medicine and eat according to Master Jin’s prescription. I sleep less but feel much more stable. My appetite gradually increases, although it is still far from normal. But compared to himself, it is much stronger. Uncle Wang is also very satisfied with his current state, and even joked that if he were ten or twenty years younger, he would definitely give Master Jin a Got it."

"Oh, let's save this. Uncle Ning will be driven crazy if he stays with Miaomiao for a few days." Shen Cha waved his hand, took out the cooked vegetables from the hot pot, and put them on a plate to dry. , "Since everything is fine in the house, why are you still looking sad?"

"After Uncle Wang's health began to improve, his temper gradually became more active." Song Yaojia sighed softly, "In other words, he has the energy to play tricks on others again. Father and uncle not only don't care, but also feel that That's good. As long as he doesn't burn down the palace, he can make as much noise as he likes." He stuffed a big mouthful of meat into his mouth and said vaguely, "I'm telling you, no matter what. When it comes to being a demon, Uncle Wang dares to admit that he is the second best, but in the whole of Xijing... no, in the whole of Daxia, no one dares to admit that he is the first."

"What did he do to make you resentful so much!" Bai Meng touched his half-full belly, looked at the untouched shrimp paste aside, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and started making shrimp balls. "Is it because of him that you haven't slept well these days?"

"He sleeps well now and gets up early. He gets up at about the same time as his father and uncle. After washing up, he drinks tea in the corridor and watches them practice and compete." Song Yaojia held her cheek and watched Bai Meng's movements. He skillfully threw the prepared shrimp balls into the pot and said, "You can watch it if you want. Watch it honestly. He doesn't want to. He keeps talking while watching it. Sometimes he gets excited and even yells a few times. Throat. Think about what it would be like to be suddenly woken up when you were sound asleep. This is not the end of it. When I went back a few nights ago, I saw a few little girls hiding in the corner of the side courtyard. She was crying and her hair was still messy. I thought something bad had happened, so I went over to ask, but..." He snatched some of Bai Meng's cooked shrimp balls, "It turned out that Uncle Wang had When I was bored during my free time, I would organize a competition for the little girls and chambermaids who took turns in the palace."

"What?" Bai Meng dug his ears, looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and found that they were also surprised, "No, Your Highness, what did you just say? What kind of martial arts contest? Who is competing with whom? Am I? Misheard?"

"Are you surprised? Didn't you expect that? Uncle Wang is so powerful." Picking up a shrimp ball that was almost dry and taking a bite, Song Yaojia shook her head helplessly, "Two days ago, I came back early, and it happened to be When they met, the little girls were divided into three groups, and the little chamberlains were divided into three groups. It was not a pure competition. He asked the guards to hide things in the yard and let the little girls and the little chamberlains find them. If they found something, they would not necessarily be considered their own. The opponent's items can be snatched. Then, he also set a time limit and lit a stick of incense. After the incense is burned, whichever group has the most things in their hands will be the winner."

"What's the reward for winning?"

"Those things he buried, although they are quite ordinary to us, are still very valuable to those little girls and servants." Song Yaojia curled her lips, "These kids with no skills are fighting. , either pulling his hair, pulling his face and clothes, or just having a scuffle. The scene was really unwatchable." He shrugged, "But my father and uncle said that he was able to mess around, which shows that he has really taken the past. Throwing away all those unpleasant things is a very good thing, a very good thing."

"I think so too." Shen Cha had almost finished eating. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "After experiencing all kinds of cruel hardships, it is really rare to be able to return to the appearance of a teenager. ." She looked at Song Yaojia, who looked sad, "Just let him play for a few days. Maybe in a few days, he won't have time to do this."

"You..." Song Yaojia grasped the key point very keenly, "Did you find any clues?"
