Seeing the big bird shaking its head, eager to get rid of the snack crumbs on its long beak, and grumbling like it was complaining about something, Xu Mingyi had an answer as to what the snack tasted like.
But Miss Cai is also a very particular person.
After thinking about it, there was no reason why someone would specially send someone to deliver this fatal snack to her.
Xu Mingyi took down the layer containing the snacks.
Sure enough, there was a letter in the bottom compartment of the food box.
The envelope had obviously been opened by someone, and there was a line written on it - My son Cai Jin personally opened it.
It looks like a letter sent home from the palace by Miss Cai's mother.
But Miss Cai has always known whether it is a letter from home, and she also knows it well.
Xu Mingyi took out the letter paper.
It's rarely very warm today, so the windows are wide open.
The golden sunlight shone on the person reading the letter, but suddenly she could no longer feel the slightest warmth. In just a moment, she felt cold to the bone.
Xu Mingyi looked at what was written on the letter, and after a while he slowly folded the letter paper.
The content above was beyond her expectation.
In other words, it was expected, but I never thought it would come so soon - even now, it was only half a month before Cai Jin fell into the water... Is the emperor so 'easy to deceive'?
No.
Even if they are dazzled by suspicion, people who can sit in this position will never lack even the most basic patience.
Thinking of other possible meanings behind this, Xu Mingyi put the envelope in his sleeve and stood up.
"Keep the snacks, return the food box to Miss Cai, and say thank you for the snacks. They taste very special." Xu Mingyi ordered, her tone as usual.
Akui agreed and called a little girl to come in.
Xu Mingyi went to find the Duke of Zhen without any delay.
Qin Wu had just walked out of his general's yard when he saw a girl in a dark cloak walking toward him with her maid.
The girl originally has a bright appearance, but now she wears a darker color, which makes her whole person look colder and calmer.
Qin Wu paused, raised his hands and saluted: "Girl."
"Uncle Qin also came to see my grandfather?" A smile appeared on Xu Mingyi's face.
Qin Wu answered "yes", but his mood was particularly complicated.
The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to file a complaint with the general, telling the general about the girl's excessive behavior in Ningyang——
But the result was completely different from what he expected.
The girl still controls the wind and rain in the house and does whatever she wants.
This more or less made him feel that his situation was a bit embarrassing.
Especially when the girl faced him now, she was so calm, generous and tolerant——
This made him feel a little ashamed for no reason.
But after this incident, he finally understood it.
Previously, he had watched the only girl in the house being pampered and pampered as she grew up. He couldn't help but think to himself: Is there anything that a girl can't do in this family?
Now he knows.
--No.
From now on, he will never sue a girl regardless of his ability.
Qin Wu lowered his head after realizing the reality. It wasn't until Xu Mingyi entered the courtyard that he raised his feet and strode away.
The Duke of Zhen, who had just finished explaining some important matters to Qin Wu, was sitting thoughtfully in the hall, plated walnuts.
Hearing the arrival of his granddaughter, he came back to his senses.
"grandfather."
Looking at the girl saluting in front of him, the Duke of Zhen said with a smile in his eyes: "Zhao Zhao is here, sit down and have some snacks."
Xu Mingyi sat down as instructed.
It's just that she probably won't want to eat snacks for a while.
"My granddaughter has something she wants to tell her grandfather."
The Duke of Zhenguo moved his eyebrows when he heard this.
My granddaughter always speaks straightforwardly, and usually doesn't even have a preamble. This time she had such a sentence, which meant that she wanted to talk to him alone.
So the Duke of Zhenguo signaled all the servants in the hall to retreat.
Xu Mingyi took out the letter, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, put it on the coffee table and pushed it towards his grandfather, and whispered: "This was just delivered to Miss Cai this morning -"
The Duke of Zhen Guo picked it up and looked at it, his face suddenly became solemn.
"Edict..."
The old man's eyes were deep and dark: "He really suspected that I had the late emperor's edict in my hands!"
His previous guesses were exactly the same as Zhao Zhao’s!
The emperor suspected that he was hiding something, so he asked Cai Jin to win the trust of his unsatisfied second son in order to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the imperial edict...!
"Bang!"
The Duke of Zhen Guo knocked the letter heavily on the coffee table.
If he was just being suspected, he wouldn't be so angry!
But this is not as simple as suspicion - for such an important matter, the emperor did not even wait and see for a while, and just told it to Cai Jin. Isn't this really a slap in the face of him?
But where is his legacy?
Isn’t this forcing a rooster to lay eggs?
And even if the rooster really can't lay eggs, he still has to find a way to prove to himself that he really can't lay eggs!
Is there any way to prove it?
——Does he need to cut open his stomach to show others?!
Isn't this just reminding him to show his loyalty? How should he show his loyalty? If he can't produce the edict, then he will hand over his military power? If the other party is still a human being, he has handed over his military power, but judging from the current character of the other party, which is worse than that of a beast,
, I'm afraid that military power is not enough, and in the end, the lives of his whole family will be taken at risk!
But go to hell!
Feelings of frustration and anger arose spontaneously. Zhen Guogong's men exerted force, and the two walnuts that had been plated with a smooth and shiny surface suddenly broke into pieces.
Now the old man is even more angry——
Hey! This is a pair of babies that he has been proud of for a long time!
"Grandpa, calm down." Xu Mingyi said: "Now we should think carefully about how to deal with it."
Yes, this feeling of being filled with anger but having to find ways to satisfy the other person is indeed very frustrating.
Doesn't she feel angry?
No, her anger even exceeded that of her grandfather - because in addition to the current situation, she had also witnessed great changes in her previous family.
She knew clearly that the root cause of all this was the emperor's suspicion.
In her dream, she wanted to twist off the dog emperor's head and set his kennel on fire.
But reality doesn’t allow it.
In other words, it is not allowed for the time being - but good wishes still have to be had. Judging from the situation in the previous life, who can say that there is really no chance of realizing her dream?
The most important thing right now is to save your life and strength before that day comes. In the game with the Dog Emperor, temporarily sharpen your edge and stabilize the situation.
Nothing is more important than the safety of the family. In front of this matter, everything else takes a back seat.
In her last life, she personally killed Zhan Yunzhu to take revenge, but she still didn't feel that it was worth being happy because her family members were all gone, and if they were gone, there would be nothing.
These experiences made her understand what priorities are.
"That's right." Even though Duke Zhen Guo had a violent temper, he quickly calmed down before the big event: "This matter needs to be done with great caution."
