Chapter 215 Yifengxuan
Chapter 215 Yifengxuan
"Your Highness, the shadow guard reported that the Sixth Prince Consort and the Third Prince's attendants went to the Linshui Pavilion in the south and north of the city early this morning and booked a private room each!"
Ling Yao sat in a private room in the teahouse with the window wide open, looking towards the restaurant from time to time.
Zhang Hai stood beside him and reported to him what the shadow guard had told him today.
Ling Yao frowned and slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table.
"Why did they book a private room?!"
Linshui Pavilion was where he had met Bai Xin before. That tavern was a place that provided food, accommodation and entertainment. The same was true for Yifengxuan in the north of the city. Today, both of them rushed to book a private room early in the morning. There must be something fishy going on.
"Nan Shiya sent me news last night. The little princess of Wu country and General Ye had a fierce quarrel yesterday."
"Before dawn today, the guards of the little princess of Wu country went to secretly deliver a letter to their attendants. I think it was because of what happened last night."
"This must be the reason why they booked a private room today!"
"The little princess probably can't get protection from Ye Qi, so she plans to seek protection from them, right?"
Zhang Hai said as he looked at Ling Yao. Seeing Ling Yao's face getting darker and darker, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"Send someone to watch both sides. If Wu Yuexin really goes to Linshui Pavilion or Yifeng Pavilion, report to me immediately!"
Ling Yao gritted his teeth and said, this woman was so impatient that she actually sent letters to these two people. She really didn't know how to be shy at all!
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Hai hurried out to open the door. A shadow guard whispered something in his ear. Zhang Hai's face changed and he whispered to the shadow guard: "Go check again!"
"Yes!" The shadow guard took the order and quickly disappeared into the building.
Zhang Hai took a breath, turned around and walked in front of Ling Yao.
"Your Highness, the princess of Wu country has led her guards and maids, disguised as ordinary tourists, and brought a lot of valuables with her, heading north of the city!"
"Bitch!"
Ling Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare a carriage for me. I want to see who she dares to seek protection from."
"Yes!"
Zhang Hai accepted the order reluctantly, always feeling that his highness was too crazy about this woman.
Ling Yao and his companions hurried to Yifengxuan in the north of the city. An hour or two had passed. When the shadow guard saw them coming, he hurried forward to report.
"Your Highness, an hour ago, the Princess of Wu Country went into the private room of Yifengxuan Yayunfang and has not come out yet. But half an hour ago, the Sixth Prince Consort hurriedly came out and went back to the Princess's Mansion!"
"Let's go in and take a look!" Ling Yao said with anger in his eyes. After that, Ling Yao led Zhang Hai into Yifengxuan.
Yifengxuan is mainly composed of lake pavilions and boats, and the lakeside pavilions are restaurants. It is bustling with people, toasting each other and exchanging cups, making it a lively scene.
The quietest ones are the boats in the lake, of which there are more than ten. Each boat has two floors. You can dine, drink tea, watch the scenery and listen to the wind downstairs, and stay on the second floor.
There seemed to be people on every boat, scattered all over the lake, eating and drinking tea, listening to the wind and enjoying the scenery, it was so pleasant.
"Your Highness, the Yayunfang is over there!"
Zhang Hai looked everywhere for the Yayun boat and found it docked near the pavilion in the middle of the lake, so he hurried to report it.
Ling Yao looked in the direction Zhang Hai pointed and saw the Yayun Boat standing alone in the center of the lake. He saw covered bridges on both sides leading to the pavilion in the center of the lake and walked quickly towards it.
The sun was shining brightly at 3 p.m., casting sparkling golden light on the lake. The Yayun boat swayed gently in the lake breeze, as if dancing in the golden light.
Ling Yao walked and looked into the distance. On the first floor of the boat, ivory-white gauze fluttered in the wind. The inside was empty. He raised his eyes to look up at the second floor. The window was covered with gauze, and there seemed to be a shadowy figure.
Ling Yao's eyes turned cold and he quickened his pace, walking towards the boat. He stepped onto the boat, walked up the stairs, and saw that the door of the room was ajar. He secretly grasped his hand and pushed the door open.
"Ah, who are you!"
The person inside heard someone suddenly open the door and screamed.
"Who are you!"
Ling Yao did not answer her question. He just looked at the person in front of him with cold eyes and asked in a cold voice.
"I, I am a maid on this boat. Who are you to dare to barge into a guest's boat? I, I am going to call for help!"
The maid on the boat was cleaning the room when she suddenly heard the door open and two strangers came in. She looked at them in horror and said.
Although the person in front of her was well-dressed, she was naturally nervous when he pushed the door open so presumptuously and she was alone on the boat.
"Where are the people living here!?" Ling Yao's eyes were cold and filled with anger.
Taking a look in the room, I saw one or two packages of valuables on the bed, two tea cups that had just been used on the table, and the fragrance left by Bai Xin in the room. I was sure that Bai Xin and the others were here just now.
After a careful look, he saw a handkerchief on the table. Ling Yao walked over and picked it up. He saw the word "book" embroidered on the lower left side of the handkerchief.
She clutched the handkerchief tightly, her eyes flashing with anger. How dare Wu Yuexin have a tryst with Lu Shuru here?
"You, put it down. How dare you enter the boat without permission and take the passengers' things? You, put it down!"
The maid saw him pick up the handkerchief and anxiously stopped him.
"Where is she?" Ling Yao asked, glaring at her angrily.
"Who are you? This boat has been booked by a guest. You are not allowed to enter without the guest's consent. Get out now, or I will call for help!"
The maid looked at them in panic and spoke in a stern voice.
"I'm asking you, where is she? If you don't tell me, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow!"
Ling Yao glared at her and repeated with gritted teeth. Seeing that she was still stubborn, he pulled out Zhang Hai's sword and was about to hit the maid's neck.
"Oh, help me, I didn't know that the guest's valuables are still here. I think he went out to have fun. I really didn't know!"
The maidservant was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Ling Yao was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he picked up a knife and wanted to chop the maid on the spot to vent his anger.
"Your Highness!"
Zhang Hai hurried forward to stop him, fearing that he might actually cause a death.
"When did she go out?" Ling Yao threw the knife back to Zhang Hai and continued to stare at the maid and asked.
"Just a quarter of an hour ago, not long after the male guest left, the female guest walked out of the boat with her maid."
The maidservant learned her lesson and quickly told everything, fearing that someone would really chop her to death with a knife.
"Bitch!" Ling Yao cursed with gritted teeth.
"Get out!"
Ling Yao said something to the maid, then sat down, intending to wait for Bai Xin.
Upon hearing this, the maid quickly got up from the ground and ran out of the boat without looking back, fearing that she would be killed by Ling Yao if she was a second slower.
Ling Yao sat on the chair, holding the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes cold and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Zhang Hai stood beside him, not daring to breathe. He wanted to persuade him to leave first, but he didn't dare to.
At this time, a shadow guard came to the door, looking a little nervous.
