After eating and drinking, Jiang Shuo began to attack the two of them mentally again. Either he kept asking questions like an emotionless questioning tool, or he murmured to himself that Ye Qingwan was too indifferent and could not bear to let him.

A person talks to himself.

The night gradually falls and the sky becomes dark.

Ye Qingwan opened the gauze curtain that covered the window and looked out.

The long street was bustling with people and it was very lively. The night was like a beast's bloody mouth, trying to swallow up the entire city of Shangjing. Before it was swallowed up, bright or dark lights in the buildings and on the streets lit up one after another, and the entire city was swallowed up.

Zashangjing was once again shrouded in brilliant lights.

She lazily stood up and said goodbye to Jiang Shuo: "Young Master Jiang, it's getting late. We have important things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

Jiang Shuo stood up suddenly when he heard the sound, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation: "Hey, are you going to go to the lantern festival? Take me with you!"

“…”

Ye Qingwan grabbed Bai Yanran and left. The confused Bai Yanran turned around and politely said goodbye to Jiang Shuo: "See you next time, Mr. Jiang."

The two of them walked to the door, but Jiang Shuo's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Ye Yin, wait!"

Ye Qingwan turned around and asked impatiently: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Shuo caught up and stopped in front of the two of them. After searching his body for a long time, he took out a small black ball and said, "Here! Take it!"

Ye Qingwan narrowed her eyes and looked at the black thing with disgust, and did not move for a long time.

"What's that look in your eyes!" Jiang Shuo was not happy now. He suddenly became serious: "If I hadn't been in a hurry when I came out and forgot to bring the others, how could I be willing to give this to you!"

Ye Qingwan: "???"

Does this mean that this black ball that looks like coal is still some priceless treasure?

Jiang Shuo said excitedly: "Ben... I really like you! When you are free or have any unresolved troubles, you can bring this to the Qixing Pavilion in the east of the city to see me. They won't stop you after seeing this.

.”

Ye Qingwan was slightly startled.

The people living in the east of the city are all relatives of the emperor, and those who are protected by the royal family. The only ones who can be protected by the Chuyi royal family are the royal family of Mingzhao.

Chu Yi and Ming Zhao have been friends for several years, but it only seems to be the case on the surface. The current emperor of Chu Yi is fatuous and incompetent, which led to Ming Zhao, who had been a powerful country many years ago, to look covetously at the declining Chu Yi and couldn't wait to see it.

He wanted to tear his skin apart and capture Chu Yi in one fell swoop.

Although Emperor Chu Yi was stupid, he was not ignorant. He could naturally see that Ming Zhao was about to make a move. However, the emperor knew that if a war really started, they would not be able to defeat Ming Zhao, who had strong soldiers and horses, so he could only keep telling Ming Zhao.

Okay, send the princess to get married, send the prince to be a hostage, then let the royal family of Mingzhao go to Beijing to do evil, and allow the nobles of Mingzhao to do "business" in the capital as Jiang Shuo said.

Just doing business in the east of the city... It's still Qixing Pavilion's business, which means Jiang Shuo must not be an ordinary noble. But Mingzhao's national surname is Fang, so Jiang Shuo is either lying to them, or his true identity

It was an existence that frightened Emperor Chu Yi even more than the Mingzhao royal family.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Jiang Shuo thrust the black ball into her hand on his own initiative.

Looking at the little balls in her eyes, Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and finally chose to accept his "kindness": "...Thank you very much."

Jiang Shuo chuckled: "If you have anything, just come to see me, I am very helpful! And Miss Bai, you can come with Ye Yin next time, and I will pick out some treasures to give away

for you!"

Bai Yanran nodded and said, "Young Master Jiang is really polite."

The strong sense of crisis made Ye Qingwan not want to stay any longer. She immediately pulled Bai Yanran and strode out of the private room without saying a word.

On the corridor, Bai Yanran was deeply confused by Ye Qingwan's sudden behavior: "Qingwan, I always think this Mr. Jiang is very strange."

"It's more than strange." Ye Qingwan's face hardened, her eyebrows furrowed into a small "Sichuan" character, and her tone became serious: "It's best not to have too much contact with him."

"Why?"

"too dangerous."

Jiang Shuo has the right to allow her to come and go freely in Qixing Pavilion, which means that he must be an extremely important person in Qixing Pavilion.

Qixing Pavilion is a mysterious black market with the name of a tea house in Beijing, and this black market is not something that ordinary people can enter if they want to. In addition to the royal family behind it that protects it, if you want to enter, you must have a certain handwriting.

Most of the people who buy and sell in Qixing Pavilion are powerful or mysterious people. As for the content of the transaction, she doesn't know.

After she became a queen in her previous life, she followed Shen Xun there one day and found that Shen Xun seemed to be making some kind of shady deal with someone.

Later, she sent people to secretly investigate, but there was no news about the people sent out. They were probably discovered and silenced.

Bai Yanran said thoughtfully: "But he looks like a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, and he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us. How can he be considered dangerous?"

Ye Qingwan rubbed the center of her eyebrows, thinking that Bai Yanran was still too naive and too gullible. She quickly revealed the matter and said: "Don't think so much, aren't you going to go to the lantern festival? It should be done by now."

here we go."

Bai Yanran was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

After walking out of Siye Building, Zhiyi Zhile returned to the building after eating to wait for the two of them, but he saw Zhiyi's head looking into the depths of the street from time to time.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Qingwan asked.

Zhiyi smiled and said: "Back to you, girl, Zhile and I just came back from there and happened to see that the lantern festival over there seemed to be holding an event, it was really lively."

Ye Qingwan glanced in that direction and said, "Then let's go and have a look."

Outside Siyelou, there is a lively and bustling long street. Countless red lanterns are hung on both sides of the street. The lanterns are like stars in the dark night, illuminating the entire city of Shangjing.

The long street was crowded with all kinds of stalls and shops, with shouts and shouts coming and going, and people coming and going continuously like floating clouds in the sky. Bai Yanran held Ye Qingwan's hand tightly, for fear of what this petite person would do next.

In seconds, they would be dispersed by the crowd, while her two little girls struggled to pass through the crowd and try their best to keep up with their master.

"Girls, look at my jewelry shop! Bracelets, necklaces, hairpins and earrings are all available. The workmanship is fine and the prices are affordable. Do you really not want to come and take a look?"

"Freshly baked peach blossom cake-girl, can you try some? If it's not delicious, there's no charge!"

The sounds of hawking and shouting filled my ears continuously, and there were even greetings from street performers.

"Don't miss it if you are passing by! It will break your heart, it is absolutely wonderful! The rich will support it and the poor will support it alone!"
