Chapter 279 The Fair-skinned Shopkeeper 2
"So that's how it is." An Qingqian nodded. Things were pretty much as she had guessed, but she didn't expect that person to be Tianji.
"If Wu Tai recognizes Tian Ji, will King Dingyuan think that Su Gui is your man and link all the things to you?"
An Qingqian suddenly became worried.
"No, King Dingyuan only knew that Su Gui was watching outside the academy, and Su Gui didn't do anything else. Therefore, even if King Dingyuan thought that Su Gui was my man, he would only think that I asked someone to keep an eye on him, and would not associate it with other things."
Shi Qiuwu chuckled and shook his head. An Qingqian was too cautious.
"Oh, there is one more thing. My people sent me a message that Prince Yong's people arranged an extremely beautiful woman. When they learned that Wu Tiancheng was going out today, they asked someone to wait on the road."
"It seems that Prince Yong has discovered Wu Tiancheng's hidden illness, so he did this on purpose." Hearing this, An Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled.
"Hidden illness?" Shi Qiuwu didn't know about this and looked at An Qingqian suspiciously.
An Qingqian told Shi Qiuwu what he had learned at Dingyuan Wangxingyuan.
"There is actually such a thing." Shi Qiuwu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems that the last time Prince Dingyuan attacked Prince Yong and killed his men in the Ministry of Revenue, Prince Yong has begun to fight back."
"Well, in your opinion, who will be better between Prince Yong and Prince Dingyuan?" An Qingqian looked at Shi Qiuwu.
“If no one else interferes, both sides will suffer.
Prince Yong is young and does not have the foresight of Prince Dingyuan, but he has great power in the capital.
Prince Dingyuan is even more scheming, but over the years, his power has either been transferred to Yicheng by him or eliminated by the emperor, and the remaining ones are of little consequence."
Shi Qiuwu thought about what he knew and analyzed it in detail to An Qingqian.
Hearing Shi Qiuwu's words, An Qingqian nodded and said nothing more.
At night, what happened outside was reported to the two of them first.
Qinggu and Tianshu arrived at An Qingqian's yard at the same time.
Tianshu took a step back and motioned Qinggu to speak first.
Qinggu glanced at An Qingqian, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he told her what happened at noon.
At noon, Wu Tiancheng went to a restaurant with his guards. Wu Tiancheng wanted to find a woman to have fun with, but he wanted to hide it from the two guards arranged by King Dingyuan.
So he decided to have dinner at the restaurant first and then think of a solution.
Seeing that the two guards were getting impatient, Wu Tiancheng simply asked them to stand outside.
The two guards had had enough of Wu Tiancheng's torture during this period, and they wished they could stay away from Wu Tiancheng.
Thinking that they were guarding outside the door and Wu Tiancheng was in the room, nothing would happen, so he just stood outside obediently.
Wu Tiancheng looked at the scenery outside the window, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
These two people were staring at him too closely. What should he do?
Just as I was thinking about it, the waiter delivering the food came in.
Wu Tiancheng accidentally glanced at the waiter who was delivering the food, and suddenly noticed that the waiter's exposed wrist was unusually white and tender.
He looked up in surprise, but saw that the man had his head down and only the side of his face could be seen.
However, just by looking at her profile, one can tell that she is not a rough waiter, but a charming woman.
Wu Tiancheng was delighted when he saw this. He was worried that he had no way to hang out with a girl, but he didn't expect that someone would come to his door directly.
He grabbed the woman's wrist and exerted force, and the woman fell into Wu Tiancheng's arms.
"Sir, what are you doing?" The woman smiled coquettishly and wanted to leave shyly, but Wu Tiancheng held her waist tightly.
"What do you say?"
The woman looked up, and Wu Tiancheng could see her face clearly. She was more beautiful than he had imagined, and it was the kind of beauty that was non-aggressive, with tenderness and innocence.
This was exactly what Wu Tiancheng liked, and he hugged the person in his arms tighter.
After the other two people served their dishes, they looked at this scene and glanced at each other. One of them was about to speak when he saw Wu Tiancheng take out a silver ingot from his sleeve.
"Take it and get out of here. Don't disturb me."
When those people saw the silver, they excitedly took the silver and ran away without delaying Wu Tiancheng any further.
The guards outside were concentrating on guarding inside and did not notice that the waiter who was delivering the food did not come out.
An hour later, Wu Tiancheng left with satisfaction.
On the way back, he became even more certain that the imperial physician wanted to defraud his father's reward, so he deliberately said that he had a hidden illness and mentioned a lot of taboos that needed to be paid attention to.
I am obviously in very good condition today. After resting for a while, I feel much better than before.
In the next few days, Wu Tiancheng went to the restaurant every day to have a secret meeting with the woman.
And this matter has never been discovered.
When Prince Dingyuan heard from his guards that Wu Tiancheng only went to that restaurant to eat every day, he did not take the matter to heart.
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
And under the suggestion of Prince Cheng's guards, the prince's men successfully discovered the contact between Prince Yong and the military doctor at the border.
When the prince knew this, he was extremely happy. After getting rid of Prince Yong, Prince Cheng was his only rival.
Therefore, he sent people to the border as quickly as possible to start a new round of investigation.
However, the prince's men did not spend much effort and investigated everything clearly.
Of course, there was help from King Cheng’s men.
The prince, along with his staff, personally sorted out all the evidence and thought of a good excuse before he rested with satisfaction.
King Cheng knew all of this.
"Just wait until tomorrow, Prince Yong will be completely finished, and father will also be wary of the crown prince."
King Cheng leisurely used the tea lid to stir the tea leaves in the teacup, a smile on his face and a determination in his eyes.
At the same time, An Zhenyuan and King Xian also received the news.
"General, should we stop them?" A secret guard looked at An Zhenyuan inquiringly.
An Zhenyuan and the wise king looked at each other.
"What do you think?" An Zhenyuan looked at the wise king.
The wise king lowered his head and smiled, "Since someone wants to be the first to take action, let's give him the opportunity so that we can have some peace and quiet."
"Don't worry about it." An Zhenyuan sent away the secret guard.
"It's a pity that we can't see such a situation." An Zhenyuan snorted and laughed.
He should be at the border now, and the wise king would not go to court unless there was something important.
However, they will not be able to see what will happen tomorrow with their own eyes.
"That's fine, but what about Prince Dingyuan's matter? Should we wait for the emperor to arrange someone to investigate, or?"
The Crown Prince and Prince Cheng's men only found out that Prince Yong was related to the incident, but they did not find out anything about Chen Xiao.
