Chapter 504 Aren't You Afraid of Me Poisoning You?
The guards had already searched the restaurant, and a group of people ran down and walked behind Shen Mujin: "Fourth Prince, my subordinates have completed the investigation. No trace was found."
Shen Mujin's figure was a little tense and seemed very unhappy. He turned around and looked at the fat shopkeeper who was trembling with fear: "Do you have anything to hide?"
His tone was threatening, his eyes were like knives, the flesh on the fat shopkeeper's face was trembling, but he still smiled hard to please:
"Third Prince, even if you lend 800 courage to ordinary people, ordinary people would not dare to hide a living person secretly. We are all running a small business and our whole family lives here. How can we dare to talk to people like you? There is communication.”
"Small business?" Shen Mujin sneered: "Don't think that I don't know that the third prince usually likes your food the most, and will always ask his servants to bring it back to him. The relationship between you should be more than just Is it the relationship between the customer and the shopkeeper?"
"This -" the shopkeeper shook his head aggrievedly:
"You said that people come and go here to buy food every day. I still don't know what His Highness the Third Highness looks like. If I knew that His Highness the Third Highness would come, I would have put up a sign to promote it. You said I really don’t know these things!”
"..." Shen Mujin frowned. He rummaged through almost all the restaurants. This one was the one most related to Shen Weibai but still found nothing. If he couldn't get anything, How should I return my life to my father when I return?
Suddenly, a figure in white clothes in the corner attracted his attention.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a strange-looking young man, pouring tea lazily and looking in their direction as if he wanted to watch a play.
With an inexplicable tremor in his heart, he walked up unexpectedly and looked up and down:
"Did I not see you just now?"
All this was within Jiang Yuan's expectation.
The sudden appearance of a glamorous young man here is indeed very suspicious.
She pretended to be stunned for a moment and said apologetically: "I went to the hut."
Shen Mujin narrowed her eyes, pulled a stool and sat casually in front of him, looking around carefully: "Have I seen you somewhere?"
"Ah? You said you didn't see me just now, why did you say you saw me now?" Jiang Yuan was holding the tea cup in a daze, a little confused:
"Brother, can you stop staring at me? We are all men. I feel embarrassed when you look at me like this."
Shen Mujin was startled, coughed awkwardly, and crossed her legs:
"I just think you look familiar, but looking at you like this, I don't think I've seen you before. Are you a foreigner?"
"Yes, I am from Qingping Town." Naturally, he mentioned the town closest to the military camp, which was real and remote.
Shen Mujin frowned. He had indeed heard of this place: "Then why does your accent sound like this?"
He is obviously from the imperial city.
"..." Brother, are you asking for more information?
Jiang Yuan was a little helpless: "I came here to take classes, isn't there a very good academy? My parents have had expectations for me since I was a child and hope that I can have a good future, so I specially invited someone from Huangcheng My master taught me calligraphy and reading, so naturally my accent is not as serious as the one in Qingping Town."
After a pause, she asked curiously: "Is there anything wrong with my identity?"
Shen Mujin was stunned for a moment, said no more, stood up and left.
How rude.
Jiang Yuan smacked his lips and watched this group of people come and leave in great numbers.
Just when she came to the door, Shen Mujin looked back at her again, seemingly thinking about something.
Jiang Yuan was looked at openly by him, and he didn't recognize him even though he was so close just now.
People who eat melon are a little excited:
"What happened to the Fourth Prince all of a sudden?"
"I heard that the third prince was seriously injured outside and his whereabouts are still unknown. There were several more murderers in the palace who killed the servants around the emperor. The emperor Long Yan was furious. He was not looking for the murderer, but also for the three princes. Where is Your Highness?"
Jiang Yuan returned to the underground pavilion and reported everything she saw and heard to Shen Weibai. At the end, she asked:
"What should we do now? We can't stay here forever, right? Shen Mujin is waiting to find us, and you, the Emperor, are returning to receive rewards."
Shen Weibai closed his eyes and rested, not panicking: "As long as this place doesn't collapse, it will always be safe."
He was not in a hurry, so he must have a way to deal with it. Since the emperor was not in a hurry, the eunuch did not need to be in a hurry. Jiang Yuan sat beside his bed and asked tentatively:
"But I thought maybe I could get out?"
Opening his eyes, Shen Weibai looked at her outfit up and down: "Is that all?"
"Of course! He saw me just now, but he didn't recognize me." She was very confident.
"Based on your current situation, it's only a matter of time before you figure it out. At first glance, it looks a bit familiar, but if you look closely, even a fool can recognize it."
It seemed that the medicinal properties were taking effect, and Shen Weibai looked a little weak: "Shen Mujin is not that easy to fool."
Jiang Yuan frowned: "What should we do? Then let's wait here until they have any results and the informant comes to report?"
"No need." He frowned slowly, a sharp flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at her with a stern gaze: "Do you want to go?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned and nodded.
Of course she wants to go, she still has her own things to do, how can she be stuck here all the time.
Shen Weibai had already guessed this answer.
Jiang Yuan is not a person who will be obedient.
Instead of her taking action herself, it was better for him to help her. He pointed to the cabinet in his room: "There is a box in there, go get that thing."
It was an exquisite and ancient small box with old rust stains on it. He handed the box to Shen Weibai and inside was a pill.
"Eat it."
"..." Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand with some scruples, and just as he was about to grab the pill, Shen Weibai suddenly retracted his hand:
"If you don't ask me what this is, aren't you afraid that I'll poison you to death?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." Jiang Yuan shook his head, "You won't poison me to death. Didn't you just tell me not to leave you?"
Shen Weibai was stunned for a moment, a little unhappy, and said with a cold face:
"When did I say I wouldn't let you leave me?"
He would never say such disgusting words.
Jiang Yuan pursed his lips. Didn't he just ask him if he would leave? Doesn't it mean that he didn't want him to leave?
Not wanting to argue with him, she grabbed the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
This stuff has no medicinal smell.
Like dough.
Jiang Yuan looked at Shen Weibai in confusion, "This thing -"
The words stopped suddenly, and a strong burning sensation spread from her throat, making her fall to the side. Shen Weibai had already expected it, and held her in his arms, warmly Soothing sounds:
Chapter completed!
