The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 288: It will be solved after a sleep

Du Wan was paying attention to the food next to him. He carefully pinched a piece of mung bean cake that looked quite delicate. He took a small bite and found that it tasted quite delicious.

Thinking of my cheap father, I picked up the food box and went to his father's side.

I saw that he was flipping through the files and copying something at the same time. He was quite busy.

 “Dad, would you like a piece of cake?” Du Wan reminded in a low voice.

Du Huima looked sideways and saw the food box, "Where did it come from?"

 “Prince Pei had someone send it.”

　　　“He does have a good heart.”

“You’re very thoughtful, would you like a piece too?” Du Wan picked up the plate of pastries and brought it to Du Huima.

Unable to resist the hospitality, Prince Consort Du took a piece and put it in his mouth. It was quite greasy. After eating it, he wanted to pick up the hot tea next to him and drink it. As soon as he brought it to his mouth, Du Wan stopped him.

“Wait a minute!” Du Wan held down the tea bowl, “Where did this tea come from?”

 “The people below brought it, what’s the matter?”

 “Don’t drink from people whose origins are unknown. Who knows if they have been tampered with.”

"this-"

 Du Prince Consort actually put down the tea bowl after she mentioned it.

Du Wan didn't find out that there was something wrong with the tea, it was simply a reminder that someone would do something wrong. He was assassinated just yesterday. The murderer has not been found yet. Who knows if the other party will be so crazy that he poisons the tea. "Dad, you are thirsty, right. First. Wait, I will go and pour you tea myself."

Du Prince Consort is funny and feels warm in his heart.

His daughter was worried about him. Even if she made trouble unreasonably, he didn't stop her.

Du Wan took the bowl of tea away and walked to the tea room. Du Wan, who was thinking about how to make tea, didn't notice that after she took the tea bowl away, a junior official's expression changed, and he looked darkly at the right servant at the other desk.

The right servant's face also looked bad.

 A well-planned plan was actually blocked by a yellow-haired girl.

Du Wan struggled for a while and finally made a pot of tea by herself.

　　Carrying the whole teapot over, and washing two clean tea bowls, the father and daughter drank tea and ate at the same time. The day was still very leisurely.

Du Wan sat next to him and watched Du Huima finish the matter and explain it clearly. Before it was time to go to the office, Du Huima took his daughter and left.

There are still half a dozen snacks in the food box.

　　Du Wan was still carrying it and following Du Huimao, her mouth was still open.

Getting into the carriage.

 After sitting firmly, the carriage moved forward slowly.

　　Du Consort asked half-jokingly, "Wanwan went to the Yamen today. Did you find anyone suspicious?"

 “It’s all suspicious.” Du Wan said seriously.

 “Are there any that are most suspicious?”

"There is a junior official who is quite suspicious, especially when I took away your bowl of tea. His expression changed for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Then, she glanced to the right. There were several officials in that direction. Now, I don’t know who he is looking at.”

“…” Prince Consort Du was stunned after hearing this.

 He just asked casually, but he didn't expect his daughter to say a lot of things.

Du Huima said: "So, there is really something wrong with that bowl of tea? Did Wanwan know it from the beginning?"

 “I don’t know. I just don’t want you to drink the tea served by others.”

 “The person serving the tea is my trusted aide.”

"I didn't say that the person serving the tea must have poisoned me." Du Wan didn't expect that someone would dare to do something in the Yamen at first, and it was in full view of the public. When she saw Du's consort wanting to drink tea, she stopped him on impulse, " Father can ask someone to check on that little official."

 Then she told the characteristics of the little official.

Du Prince Consort nodded and immediately opened the curtain, letting his confidants stare. It’s not that Du Wan didn’t use his ability to listen to the affairs of the Yamen.

The officials in the yamen seem to be very cautious, probably because they are afraid that the walls may have ears. After sending Prince Consort Du back to the house, knowing that he would not go out again today, Du Wan did not return to Yuling Garden and went to find Du Qian. I learned that Du Qian had left the house earlier and had not returned yet.

Du Wan went out on horseback again.

Go to the Imperial City Si Yamen to look for Pei Hao.

 It can be said that if everything goes wrong today, no matter who you look for, you will not be there.

Du Wan originally wanted to go to the palace to find the emperor, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it. There will definitely be a lot of things going on for the emperor today. So she rode her horse and wandered around the streets of various yamen in the imperial city. She was wearing a fox fur cloak and a hood, with only her small and beautiful chin exposed. If Zhuang Cong and others hadn't been following her, not many people would have recognized who she was.

Zhuang Cong looked at his master who was riding a horse in front of him and walking very slowly.

 He wanted to say that he had walked back and forth on this street for the third time.

Now in every yamen, the fire of Bagua has been ignited.

For example:

—“Have you heard? The little princess is riding a tall horse and leading hundreds of guards, passing through the Yamen Gate for the third time.”

 —“What does this little ancestor want to do?”

 —“What else can I do? It’s probably a warning.”

 —“If you dare to touch Du’s consort, the man behind the scenes is really brave.”

—"You are so anxious that you are jumping over the wall. I have news. I heard that Prince Consort Du is checking the accounts recently, hehe."

 —“Oops, it’s the fourth time…”

Those who were discussing this matter did not know that Du Wan had heard everything.

 The yamen of each department of the court, such as the main entrance of the six departments, are all located on a large street. It may be said that the important yamen of the Qin Kingdom are all concentrated in one area.

Du Wan wanted to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, so naturally he had to get close to the place where the murderer might hang out.

 I just walked around a few times and found nothing.

　　Those who serve as officials in the capital are all good people and act cautiously. Every word or deed may go through your mind several times before you say it out loud. Even the junior officials in the household department she had been keeping an eye on had been doing their jobs calmly.

“Princess!” Pei Hao came riding a horse.

There was a group of officers and soldiers behind him, taking the prisoners into custody.

Du Wan glanced at the prisoner. He didn't recognize him, "You went to arrest him?"

Pei Hao nodded, "Yes, why is the princess here?"

"I have nothing to do, so come and hang out and listen to the gossip." When she said the last sentence, Du Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, "It's quite interesting."

"Go to the Yamen and sit down. It's cold outside." Pei Hao invited her in.

Du Wan did not refuse, and went hand in hand with Pei Hao to the Imperial City Si Yamen.

Pei Hao led Du Wan into the Yamen, and he kept paying attention to her expression as he walked. Realizing that there was nothing strange about her expression, I felt a little sour in my heart.

Does the little girl not know what happened last night?

However, after a good sleep, your mentality seems to have adjusted?

Du Wan sat down where he was handling the case, and Pei Hao ordered people to bring in a charcoal pot and stove and make tea for her himself.

Du Wan said: "Thank you for the snacks you sent me today."

"You're welcome, the princess also said that she will treat my prince to dinner." Pei Hao took the conversation very calmly, poured a cup of tea elegantly, and handed it to her.

Du Wan took it with both hands and said thank you, "No problem. As long as you have time, you can let me know at any time."

Pei Hao asked: "Princess, do you still remember how many meals you owe me?"
