C16 Personal visit to shang shu manor

"Your Highness, are you bathing?"

Before the youth had even come out of the lake, the person who had just left had already returned.

When he saw his master's belt lying on the floor, he thought it was warm so he went to take a bath. But why didn't he take off his shirt?

"Yes sir!"

The youth gritted his teeth and said with a dark expression.

He swore that if he met that girl again in the future, he would definitely not spare her.

Xiao Chengyi probably did not know that the little girl who was peeling his pants at the foot of the Heaven Mountain that year was actually Mu Qianyu.

"Your Highness, this subordinate has already investigated thoroughly. Zheng Qingwan is a Third Miss of Zheng Family, but ten years ago, his whereabouts were already unknown ?"

Returning to the Duke Palaces, Xiao Chengyi immediately called Luo Jin to investigate about Zheng Qingwan's matters.

If Zheng Huaiyuan had not shouted the three words' Zheng Qingwan 'in anger, this matter would have been difficult to investigate.

"If that's the case, then this woman should be the Zheng Qingwan who went missing back then."

Xiao Chengyi thoughtfully nodded his head, and asked: "Then, have you investigated this Zheng Qingwan's situation clearly?"

"Your subordinate is useless."

Luo Jin kneeled on the ground, and with an awkward expression, he shook his head, "This woman is extremely mysterious. She just entered the capital a few days ago, there's no trace of her at all.

Just now, Xiao Chengyi and Mu Qianyu had only exchanged a few moves, neither side had used their unique consummate skill, so Xiao Chengyi was simply unable to see through Mu Qianyu's background.

"Chengyi, why are you so persistent? Do you really have to settle with her?"

Nangong Lin walked in with a smile as he stood up straight and wore a black brocade robe with wide sleeves.

"Brother of Brotherhood?"

Xiao Chengyi frowned, and raised his hand to indicate for Luo Jin to get down, before he stood up and said: "I am not trying to investigate anything, I am just a little curious about this woman."

"Curious?"

Nangong Lin's face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't help but laugh: "This is the first time you've ever been curious about a woman."

However, he then thought that there was only one woman who could make his sworn brother in such a sorry state. No wonder he was curious.

Xiao Chengyi did not reply, he only looked at Nangong Lin's face, and asked: "Brother of Brotherhood's health is better, is the cold jade bed effective?"

"Cough, cough, cough."

Nangong Lin's expression froze, he used his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times.

Xiao Chengyi immediately turned around, and personally poured a cup of tea for Nangong Lin, and sighed: "Seems like I have to prepare the medicine as soon as possible, I cannot delay any longer."

A dim light flashed in his eyes as he made up his mind.

It seemed that he had no choice but to personally make a trip to the Minister Mansion for the sake of the Brother of Brotherhood's body.

"Life or death depends on fate. The primer for that medicine is not easy to find, and there is no need to be stubborn about it."

Receiving the tea, Nangong Lin took a sip of it, and smiled gently, as if he did not care about his own body.

In the morning of the next day, Xiao Chengyi had someone prepare a gift and personally went to the Minister Mansion to see Zheng Ji.

"I wonder what business does Prince Li have today?"

Zheng Ji looked at Nangong Lin with some misgivings.

This Prince Li and the crown prince were mortal enemies, and he had always belonged to the crown prince's faction. He really did not know what to say to him.

"This king has come here today to request an item from the Master Zheng."

Seeing Zheng Ji's suspicious look, Xiao Chengyi did not plan to hide it.

Zheng Ji smiled faintly, "Prince Li's words are too serious, I don't know what kind of thing Your Highness would like, but if this humble subject has the honour to present it to you."

"Seven-colored Lotus."

Xiao Chengyi's face sank as he spat out three words.

Zheng Ji was slightly startled, and was about to reject him.

However, continued, "Since this duke has come here today, I am certain that the Minister Mansion has this miraculous medicine, so there is no need for Master Zheng to deny it."

This sentence stopped what Zheng Ji was about to say.

He originally wanted to deny it, but did not expect the Prince Li to not even give him the chance to do so.

Zheng Ji remained silent.

Even if Xiao Chengyi knew that there were Seven-colored Lotus in the Minister Mansion, he would not take it out.

"May I ask what is the purpose of your highness wanting this Seven-colored Lotus?"

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

Hearing that, Xiao Chengyi's face became even colder, this old fellow does not want to give me that thing, and still wants to know its use, thus he said: A friend of mine has been poisoned, and needs the Seven-colored Lotus to save me.

He wasn't lying, but he definitely wouldn't say who that person was.

"What a coincidence."

Zheng Ji sighed and shook his head: "My body has never been good, so a few days ago, the Seven-colored Lotus was already used by me as a tonic."

"Is that true?"

Xiao Chengyi looked up at him, his eyes cold.

"Indeed."

Zheng Ji replied with sincerity.

Mu Qianyu, who was hiding under the eaves of the courtyard and eavesdropping, could not help but reveal a look of despise.

If such a good thing was used for Madame Wang to heal her body, then this old fox must be lying to ghosts.

"Since Madame Zheng's health is not good, why don't I summon the imperial physician for you to take a look?"

Xiao Chengyi's expression still did not change, but the meaning behind his words were already clear to Zheng Ji.

Without using the Seven-colored Lotus, the imperial physician could tell that the Prince Li was trying to take away his lies and slap his old face.

"Many thanks to prince's good intentions. A few days ago, the Crown Prince sent an imperial physician to visit, so we won't trouble you to send another one."

After some thought, Zheng Ji found the most suitable reason, and it was something that Xiao Chengyi could not refute at all.
