Chapter 187 The enemy is blind: ask her in front of her
Chapter 187 The enemy is blind: Ask her in front of her...
"Is she deliberately avoiding His Highness?" Zhao Yu murmured to himself.
His Highness the Crown Prince didn't ask about Qin Zhao just now, and he didn't know how to mention Qin Zhao. If nothing unexpected happened, His Highness came to Changzhou specifically after receiving the letter from him, intending to take Qin Zhao back to the palace.
Qin Zhao is unwilling to come back and would rather stay in an inn. Does this mean that Qin Zhao is unwilling to return to the palace with His Highness the Crown Prince?
Thinking of this possibility, he felt a little happy for some reason.
"Remember to take good care of her." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay, so he picked up his clothes and headed to Sihai Inn.
When Zhao Yu went to the main hall this time, he heard Xiao Yi ask Xiao Ce: "How did the prince brother come to a small place like Changzhou?"
"My father is concerned about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, so I went to Changzhou, the worst-hit city, to see how the situation is going." Xiao Ce responded quietly.
Xiao Yi's face was full of smiles, but he was cursing in his heart. Xiao Ce had sent Zhao Yu to Jiangnan before, so why bother to come to Jiangnan?
According to him, Xiao Ce clearly came here to find Qin Zhao.
"Yes, why are you in Changzhou?" Xiao Ce asked back.
Xiao Yi spread his hands: "I have nothing to do anyway, wandering around. I don't want to meet Mr. Zhao in Changzhou, so I will stay here for a few days."
He wanted to say that he met Qin Zhao, but at the last moment he changed Qin Zhao's name to Zhao Yu.
"Zhao Yu is busy with business here, so don't cause trouble for him." Xiao Ce said seriously, looking at Zhao Yu: "Zhao Yu, is there any progress in the flood in Changzhou?"
"Recently, the rain has stopped. Refugees are being resettled, relief funds and materials are being distributed, and post-disaster reconstruction will follow. Everything is going on in an orderly manner. However, after investigation, it seems that someone embezzled the relief funds allocated by the court, and it is currently under investigation.
, If there are any results, I will report to His Highness as soon as possible..." Zhao Yu then went on to talk about some details of his investigation.
Xiao Ce nodded while listening: "Not bad."
Zhao Yu is indeed capable. He has made such gains in the past few days since he came to Changzhou, and he also found someone embezzling disaster relief funds, which shows that he has chosen the right person.
Zhao Yu is also worthy of reuse.
After discussing some issues about floods in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Cecai said: "I have to go out later, so you should do your work first."
Zhao Yu was a little surprised.
He thought that Xiao Ce rushed to Changzhou to pick up Qin Zhao after receiving his letter, but Xiao Ce never mentioned Qin Zhao. Could it be that he was mistaken?
Little did he know that Xiao Ce didn't receive the message he sent out at all.
After Xiao Ce walked away, Xiao Yi said quietly: "Brother Prince suddenly came to Changzhou, isn't it because of Qin Zhao?"
Could it be that he had gone astray?
He soon remembered that the letter Zhao Yu sent to Xiao Ce had been robbed by him. Xiao Ce might not know that Qin Zhao was in Changzhou.
That being the case, should he prevent Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce from meeting?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi quickly walked towards Dongcijian.
As a result, when he went to Dongcijian, there was no trace of Qin Zhao. He immediately left the house and walked to the street, wondering if he would meet Qin Zhao and stop her from going back to meet Xiao Ce.
The guards sent out by Xiao Ce to inquire soon came to Xiao Ce with news that a Qin girl had indeed arrived in Changzhou recently. Last time when Nanba almost burst its embankment, it was this Qin girl who found someone to block the breach in time.
Not long ago, Miss Qin rescued a three-year-old girl. This incident became a household name in Changzhou, and Miss Qin's name was also known to everyone.
"If nothing unexpected happens, she is Qin Zhao. Do you know where she is now?" Xiao Ce asked again.
This time, Guard Hu could answer without hesitation: "I will live with Mr. Zhao in the house just now."
Xiao Ce looked sideways after hearing this: "Are you sure?"
Then why didn't Zhao Yu and Xiao Yi mention Qin Zhao to him just now?
"My subordinates have inquired and found out that Miss Qin does live there. It was the residence arranged by Lord Wu, the prefect of Changzhou." Before Hu Guard could finish his words, he saw Xiao Ce quickly retracing his steps.
Guard Hu quickly followed up.
Zhao Yu was about to go out when he saw Xiao Ce suddenly turning back. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Does your Highness have anything else to say?"
"Where is Qin Zhao?" Xiao Ce asked directly.
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Qin Liangdi may be at a nearby inn."
Therefore, Xiao Ce did come for Qin Zhao. It was clear that the Holy Emperor was ill and His Highness the Crown Prince should have stayed in the palace, but His Highness the Crown Prince still rushed to Changzhou for Qin Zhao, right?
Xiao Ce didn't ask any more questions and walked away quickly.
That day, Qin Zhaocai entered the Sihai Inn and was making reservations for a guest room with the innkeeper when Seth's voice suddenly sounded.
She never thought that Seth would suddenly come to Changzhou. Could it be that when he heard that Xiao Ce was coming to Changzhou, Seth rushed over after hearing the news, hoping to kill Xiao Ce before she could?
unlucky!
If she had known this, she should have gone back to her residence and stayed there instead of running to the inn and sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Qin Zhao regretted it endlessly. She was feeling upset when Seth came behind her.
Just when she was nervous, she heard Seth ask the innkeeper: "Boss, do you know that there is a girl named Qin in Changzhou?"
Qin Zhao was originally nervous, but when he heard Seth's question, he wanted to laugh for no reason.
She is here in person, and Seth is still asking where she is. Isn't it ridiculous?
The boss glanced at her subconsciously, and she quickly winked at him. The boss was also a smart man, and he immediately understood that this was Miss Qin's enemy coming to her door.
Miss Qin is a celebrity in Changzhou. She not only blocked the embankment breach, but also saved a child.
It is no exaggeration to say that Miss Qin is the heroine of Changzhou.
"I don't know." The boss reacted quickly and lied without blinking.
Qin Zhao stood aside, not daring to move for fear that Seth would see her presence.
She was such a big living person standing next to Seth. There was no reason why Seth didn't see her, right?
Just when she was confused, Anu, the guard next to Seth, came over and asked her: "Girl, do you know there is a girl named Qin here?"
Qin Zhao did not dare to look at Anu and shook his head at Anu, expressing his ignorance.
At this time, Seth also came over. Qin Zhao stood sideways, not squinting, thinking that this was the end.
Seth glanced at Qin Zhao and thought that this girl was very beautiful and had flawless white skin. He didn't know whether it was because all the women in the Central Plains were so petite and cute, or whether he had only seen such delicate women.
Because the woman was so good-looking, he took another look at her and then said to Anu: "Let's go to other places and ask. Since Xiao Ce has come to Changzhou, Qin Zhao must also be in Changzhou!"
He would not be able to swallow this breath unless he took this woman back to Da Yueshi!
"Yes!" Anu responded, and then left the inn with Seth.
Qin Zhao was left in a messy state. She looked at her boss, who suddenly had an idea and whispered: "Maybe it's because the girl's appearance has changed that the person just now didn't recognize her."
