Yun Shang became more and more interested in the content of the letter. After a moment of silence, she said, "Have someone deliver the letter to a small courtyard in the city. Make an appointment with Mr. Liu at the Dragon and Phoenix Tower in the city tomorrow at noon."
Qian Yin knew that this matter was her fault, and she felt a little regretful in her heart. She quickly responded, "Yes, I will make arrangements immediately."
Dragon Phoenix Restaurant is not the most famous restaurant in Jincheng. It has a history of hundreds of years. The food tastes excellent. What is most worth mentioning is that Dragon Phoenix Restaurant is located on the outskirts of Jincheng. It is very spacious and has elegant rooms hidden among the bamboo trees and peach blossoms.
Each private room is in its own small courtyard, providing excellent privacy.
Yun Shang changed into the clothes of an ordinary woman, wearing a gauze hat, and took a carriage from the back door to Longfeng Tower with only two maids who rarely followed Yun Shang in front of people.
The name of the private room is called Rolling Bead Curtain. The private room is surrounded by peach blossom groves. After walking in, it is also decorated in a very unique way. There are no walls, and only layers of bead curtains are used to block the view.
Liu Yinfeng was already waiting in the elegant room. Seeing Yun Shang come in, he raised his eyes and smiled at Yun Shang, stood up and called out, "Ayun."
Yun Shang responded softly, walked to sit opposite him, and then a waiter came over and asked Liu Yinfeng, "Can the food be served?"
Liu Yinfeng did not answer, but just raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang. Seeing this, Yun Shang smiled slightly and nodded slightly towards the waiter. The waiter quickly responded and retreated.
After a while, a woman in pink clothes slowly walked over with a tray and dishes, and placed the dishes on the table. There was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms in her movements.
"Ayun just arrived in Jincheng not long ago, but he actually knew about this place, which surprised me." Liu Yinfeng seemed to be in a very good mood, talking about Ayun, with a smile on his face.
"The reputation of Longfeng Tower is so great, it's impossible for me to be completely unaware of it." Yun Shang chuckled lightly, watching the waiter finish serving the dishes, and waved his hand to signal them to retreat.
Liu Yinfeng picked up the chopsticks on the table and said with a smile, "When I was in Ning State, I heard Emperor Ning say that your two biggest hobbies in life are eating and sleeping. I didn't believe it before.
, but now I believe it a little bit. The Yumanlou in Ningguo was the place where I met you most often. Even if I didn’t meet you, I could often see the servants from Prince Jing’s palace going to Yumanlou to buy food.
Most of the time it’s sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Occasionally a new dish comes out, and I’ll definitely bring one back. Now that you’ve only been in Ningguo for such a short time, it’s hard for you to leave the house once, but you invited me to eat here.”
Yun Shang didn't know that Emperor Ning had mentioned this to him, and she didn't expect that he would observe it so carefully. She looked a little embarrassed and smiled and said, "Father knows how to expose my shortcomings." After that,
Then he took off the gauze hat and put it aside, "Although I know that there are many delicious foods in Longfeng Tower, I don't know what is delicious. Why don't you trouble Mr. Liu to introduce it to me?"
Liu Yinfeng smiled, picked up a round meatball from the dazzling array of dishes on the table and said with a smile, "This dish is my favorite, it's called Liuli Zhuji, and it's made with mandarin fish meat, pork and shrimp meat.
It is made, crystal clear, small and cute, and the taste of mandarin fish is delicate in the mouth, and then mixed with the fragrance of pork and the elasticity of shrimp spread in the mouth, it is very delicious. "
Yun Shang took a bite and found that it tasted really good, and Liu Yinfeng's description was not an exaggeration.
During the next meal, Liu Yinfeng kept serving dishes and explaining to Yun Shang. Yun Shang ate all the food on the table one by one before saying with a smile, "If you keep talking like this, it won't matter."
It’s ready to eat.”
Liu Yinfeng ate some casually.
The two of them had dinner. Liu Yinfeng stared at Yun Shang for a long time before smiling and saying, "It's rare for you and I to eat together. Although I don't want to ruin the atmosphere, I also know that you must have something."
If you want to talk to me about something, just tell me."
Yun Shang smiled and then said softly, "The last time Mr. Liu came to visit me, I was taking a nap, so the housekeeper rejected Mr. Liu. At that time, Mr. Liu left me a letter? It was just because of the servant's negligence.
, I have not seen that letter. I met you on the street yesterday, and my servant remembered it and told me about it. I was thinking that there was something important in Mr. Liu's letter, and I was afraid that I would miss it, so I made a special appointment.
Mr. Liu comes out to meet you."
Liu Yinfeng's hand paused slightly, and most of the smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant, "That's it..." There was a bit of disappointment in his voice.
Yun Shang didn't understand why Liu Yinfeng reacted like this, but he stared at Liu Yinfeng intently. Seeing this, Liu Yinfeng sighed softly in his heart, feeling as if his heart had suddenly taken a big mouthful of bitter food.
The bitterness of the fruit slowly spreads in my heart.
"I wonder if you know Concubine Shen Shu's life experience?" Liu Yinfeng took the cup on the table and no longer looked up at Yun Shang.
"Concubine Shen Shu?" Yun Shang frowned, "I didn't know Concubine Shen Shu's life experience before, but when I entered the palace two days ago, I heard her talk about this matter when chatting with Concubine Xiang. Could it be related to Concubine Shen Shu?"
Liu Yinfeng nodded slowly, "Be careful of Concubine Shen Shu. Concubine Shen Shu once lived the life of the lowest class person. She climbed to this position step by step. Her desire for power is greater than any of us. Concubine Shen Shu's parents are in Ya
She is now considered a very important figure in the clan. Although after the rebellion of the Ya clan, Concubine Shen Shu said that the patriarch of the Ya clan had her parents under house arrest, this was not the case. I dare not say that Concubine Shen Shu was behind the rebellion, but
Her parents have definitely never been under house arrest."
"However, the rebellion of the Ya clan clearly happened before we came to Xia Kingdom." Yun Shang frowned, always feeling that there was something that she had not considered.
"To be precise, it's what happened after the prince's death." Liu Yinfeng took a sip of tea, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, "Concubine Shen Shu had an eleventh prince, who is now eighteen years old. According to the Taifu, the eleventh prince
The prince is smart and a transparent person, but because of the low background of his mother and concubine, he is often looked down upon by others, and because there are several older brothers in front of him, even though the eleventh prince has grown up, many things in the court cannot be ignored.
Above him, even if he wanted to get ahead, he wouldn't have a chance."
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Yun Shang's mind, and her eyes suddenly brightened a little, "So, Concubine Shen Shu's previous instigation of tribesmen to cause riots was not because she wanted to do something, but actually wanted to give the eleventh prince a chance. The Ya clan is the mother of Concubine Shen Shu
clan, and the prince is gone. The Ya clan is rioting, and it is natural for the eleventh prince to ask himself to put down the rebellion. When the time comes, the rebellion of the Ya clan will definitely be suppressed by the eleventh prince. When the time comes, regardless of whether His Majesty rewards him or not,
It can also let the courtiers see the talents of the eleventh prince, and then it is logical for the courtiers to recommend the eleventh prince to take up a suitable job."
The corners of Liu Yinfeng's lips curled up slightly, he nodded lightly, and sighed softly, "It's just a pity that she missed some things, such as the existence of Prince Rui, and the Huaguo Guild, which had been absent for a long time, suddenly asked to put down the chaos.
."
A sneer escaped from the corner of Yun Shang's mouth, and she gently held her hands under the table. If the chaos in the Ya clan was originally instigated by Concubine Shen Shu, and the Ya clan had no intention of rebellion, then it would not be difficult to put an end to the chaos. However, in the end,
What she was afraid of was that Concubine Shen Shu had evil intentions and wanted to kill the prince because her plan was disrupted.
"Besides this, there is another thing I need to tell you. Since King Rui entered the Ya clan, he and the soldiers who went with him have lost news." Liu Yinfeng said with a calm expression.
However, Yun Shang almost knocked over the teacup in her hand.
"What do you mean you lost the news? They are quelling the chaos, so it is normal that they don't have time to send news to Jincheng." Yun Shang calmed down her already confused mind, her voice trembling slightly.
Liu Yinfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, then nodded slowly, "Yes, it is normal if you just don't have time to send the news to Jincheng. The troops led by Prince Rui and Duke Hua have indeed entered the Ya clan
, However, no one of our informants in the Ya clan knew that the army had arrived at the Ya clan, nor did anyone know where the army had arrived. They were unable to get in touch with the people in the army, and the Ya clan even did not arrange any defense at all. 10
The army of tens of thousands of people seemed to have suddenly disappeared after entering the Ya clan."
Yun Shang didn't know how much Liu Yinfeng's words could be believed, but Yun Shang also knew that there was no need for Liu Yinfeng to deceive her on this matter. Because she only needed to go into the palace and ask Xia Huanyu, and she would immediately know the truth and falsehood.
We figured it out. The Ya clan has his spies, and the army has his spies. If something hadn't happened, it would have been impossible for him to be completely out of contact.
Yun Shang stood up, frowned and said softly to Liu Yinfeng, "Thank you Mr. Liu for letting me know. I have something else to do, so I'll take a step first." Then she walked out the door.
"Wait a minute." Liu Yinfeng also stood up and called Yun Shang.
Seeing Yun Shang turning around in confusion, Liu Yinfeng picked up the gauze hat placed aside and walked to Yun Shang's side, helped her put on the gauze hat, and said softly, "Be careful. In this Jincheng, don't
Believe others at will. Once the prince died, the battle for the throne became more and more intense, and even the women in the backyard were most likely to be cheating."
Yun Shang paused. She didn't know why Liu Yinfeng suddenly said this to her, but she still said softly, "Thank you." Then she turned around and watched the maid lift the bead curtain, then walked out.
Liu Yinfeng gave a bitter laugh and sighed several times, "I'm trapped in a cocoon, I'm trapped in a cocoon." Then he knocked on his head and said, "Look, she seemed to like that golden shrimp very much just now. Let her give it to her every day.
Just send some over."
Just as he was talking to himself, an attendant hurried over. He looked around without seeing anyone else, then opened the curtain and walked in. He said to Liu Yinfeng, "It's not good, sir, the seventh prince just went to Liu Mansion."
, the master and the old lady took sticks and kicked him out, and the old lady even threatened not to let the Seventh Prince step into the door of Liu Mansion." (To be continued)
