As soon as he returned to his bed, Xia Houzhi waved his wide sleeves and said, "Clean up and make some room!" After saying that, he put the not-so-delicate wooden box on the table and opened it solemnly.
Leopard Tail came over to look at it curiously, then showed a disgusted expression.
Two plates of dim sum, and one ordinary soup.
"Hey, this kind of thing, even the horses in the back hall are not-" The second half of the words was swallowed hard. Leopard Tail was shocked to see that his golden master actually picked up a piece and took a bite without hesitation.
Down.
"Your Highness!" Yuzhi's face was full of fear, and he rushed over to stop him, "I haven't tested the poison yet, you..."
"It doesn't matter." Xia Houzhi raised his slender jade-like fingers. After eating two or three pieces, he smacked his lips and said with a smile, "It doesn't look good, but it tastes pretty good."
One is salty and the other is sweet. The sweet one probably has peach meat in it, which is fragrant and juicy.
Except for the wet nurse, no one knows that she likes to eat peaches, including the queen mother.
Duan Chuiwen's... probably just happened by mistake.
She lowered her head and took another sip of the soup. The light and refreshing feeling suddenly dissipated the greasy smell that she had endured at the restaurant for a long time.
"Well, take away all the other meals."
"You just touched your chopsticks!" Leopard Tails' eyes widened, "Isn't it to your liking? I'll go with you now..."
"No." Xia Houzhi waved her hand, "This snack is enough. I'll take those away and give them to you."
Leopard Tail wanted to say something, but was grabbed by the fish's gills and stopped with his eyes.
The two quickly finished cleaning up and exited.
On the way back to the house, Leopard Tail was puzzled: "Brother Yu, why did you stop me just now? Can the food sent by Chui Wen compare with the meal we spent hundreds of taels on cooking? The master has barely eaten a meal in the past two days.
It’s stable, if you don’t replenish it, you will become thin again, and that girl from Wong will be verbose again!”
Yuzhi was silent for a moment and said: "Mealing is not just about the meal itself, but the mood is even more important. You saw His Highness's expression just now, so why bother to spoil his interest? Besides, didn't you notice?"
"What did you find?"
Yuzhi's expression was a little more meaningful: "His Highness was completely unprepared for the food Duan Shaoqing sent."
"What does this mean?" Leopard Tail's rough face was still blank.
Yuzhi paused and sighed: "Why didn't I realize before that you were so blind? Didn't you learn a lesson from the last walnut smashing incident?"
Leopard Tail shook his head honestly, quickly figured out something, lowered his voice and said: "I understand, does the master have any new plans? This is all a show!"
"..."
Yuzhi reluctantly patted his good brother on the shoulder and sighed: "That's all, you have stayed with the Shadow Guards for too long before. I don't blame you for not thinking about it. Anyway, remember this and be more respectful to that Lord Duan in the future.
.”
After the appetite is satisfied, the worries lingering in the heart will fade away a lot.
Xia Houzhi decided to go for a walk to eat, strike while the iron was hot, and say thank you to someone.
It was almost midnight, the harbor gradually became quieter, the night sky became darker and darker, and the ink poured down, smearing the entire water surface. Only the still hazy moonlight and the dots of lights complemented each other.
From a distance, I could see that Duan Chuiwen's room was brightly lit, with people moving around, and there were two detectives guarding the door, one on the left and the other on the right.
Is this... a meeting?
Her heart moved, and she raised her head and glanced around. The next moment, her figure flew up and down like a shadow, and landed gently on the roof of the carved ship.
With a flip of his hand, he uncovered a small piece of glazed tile, and dim yellow light immediately rushed towards him.
Xia Houzhi narrowed her eyes and took stock of the situation in the room.
