Chapter 389: Who is who?

The shopkeeper retreated, and not long after, the waiters served all the dishes.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, the four of them swallowed their saliva. "Eat first, ignore them. Only after eating and being full can we think about things."

Qiao Mai gave them a wink, took the chopsticks first, picked up the food and ate, and also took out a jar of good wine.

The waiter who was sticking to the door and window left when he couldn't hear anything useful.

"Teahouse? Listen to a song?"

"Good."

As soon as they entered the teahouse, it was quiet. Pleasant music came from inside. The tea guests were all fascinated by the music, and no one made a sound.

The waiter led the four to a quiet table in the lobby, and Yuan Jiaqi ordered tea in a low voice.

They sat down, drank tea, ate melon seeds, and listened to the music.

Also let the servants and guards enjoy it together. They bought a lot of ingredients, intending to camp on the spot.

"No need to worry. Since I have come, this matter will definitely be solved."

"Haha, really a wife-slave."

"I want to tour the lake with Sixth Master and talk about Suzhou by the way."

Yuan Jiaqi stood by her side, watching Qiao Mai point to a place. "When we leave Suzhou, we will pass through here. Both sides of this road are woods, and behind is a mountain. It is the easiest place to take action."

Yu Bao rode his horse and followed on the side, and the guards guarded both sides of the carriage. Looking at the mighty crowd, it was really eye-catching.

Qiao Mai closed her eyes, looking very fascinated, but Yuan Jiaqi knew that his wife should be doing something.

"No, my husband will accompany you, and won't go to disturb them."

Qiao Mai woke up from a nap and found that there was nothing to do all night. It seems the other party was very patient.

"The fish and shrimp inside must also be salty?"

"Hmm, you followed all the way, but is there something?"

"Sour!"

"Sixth Master, this lake is called Xiangsi Lei Lake. Legend has it that a fairy fell in love with a man in the world. The two lived here secretly. Later, after the Heavenly Emperor found out, he killed the man, and the woman was locked up in the Heavenly Court, washing her face with tears every day. Her tears gradually formed a lake here."

"Sigh~ I am really powerless. Regarding Suzhou, I have thought of many ways. Sixth Master, can you transfer the garrison commander outside Suzhou City? Change to one who has no grudge with my Gao family?"

"Wife-slave is good. Wife-slave not only eats well and drinks well, is a high official, but is also protected by his wife. Some people are clearly jealous, but they say sarcastic remarks."

"Hard to say."

"It seems they don't look favorably on Suzhou?"

"You are also a good woman. My husband has accumulated I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings to marry you."

Heizi was full of energy, sitting opposite the Old Emperor, being fed meat jerky, dried fish, and the like, eating with relish.

"Then when we return to Tianshui Town, you will manage the business. I might be in closed-door cultivation for several years."

"Even if I wait until the end of time, my husband is willing."

This matter shocked the Prefect of Suzhou, and he hurriedly led people on horseback to follow.

Qiao Mai gently pinched his face. "You, you have never disappointed me. You are a good man."

It's just that he didn't dare to rush over and had been following on the road. Yu Baobao looked back.

"Fine!"

"The Emperor wants to take the sightseeing carriage out, are we still going?"

Not long after, Qiao Mai opened her eyes and sighed gently.

"Call him over. I suppose he has already recognized us."

Don't intend to take action in the city? So she took out the map and looked at it.

When he saw the other three, he immediately bowed respectfully. "Subordinate pays respects to the Empress, pays respects to Prince Fu, pays respects to the Princess Consort."

"Yes, Sixth Master, you don't know, there are two forces in the city. One group looks like a gang collecting protection fees, but behind them is the Back Mountain. I tried to arrest them, but they seem to have clairvoyance and wind-listening ears. Once arrested, they disappear. There is another group, nesting in a corner of the city, heard to be thugs for major restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses. Each one is highly skilled in martial arts, often committing crimes in the middle of the night, and even threatened my family at my mansion."

Several days were very calm. The weather was quite good, the sun was not poisonous, and it was just the time to come out and play.

"The song is good, but not as good as the one my Rui'er plays."

After listening to the song for an hour, they returned to the inn the same way, preparing to sleep for a while. They ate too much at noon, so they didn't plan to eat at night, so they explained and rested.

"After all, fish and dragons are mixed."

"Even if you kill me, Xianzi is the Crown Prince, the rightful successor."

"When leaving the capital, the courtiers knew. Those who have ideas about your dragon throne probably want to take action against you?"

"Really no awareness. If it weren't for this Princess Consort, you don't know how many times you would have died."

"We are all in-laws, who is who."

"Anyway, not me and Rui'er."

Yu Bao turned his horse's head and came to the front of Prefect Gao. "Sixth Master Huang called you over to talk. Remember, he is Sixth Master Huang now."

"Subordinate has tasted the water here; it is salty, and human tears are also salty."

"Hehe, I am not afraid. With the two of you, and Heizi."

"Yes, but it sank into the sea."

He followed the group to the lakeside and became a tour guide.

"Your Majesty, someone is following behind. The subordinate sees it seems to be the legitimate son of the Gao family."

"In-law, I am afraid we have trouble."

"Heh, there is even a mythological story?"

"I love to hear this. Don't be afraid in the capital either. A flame will hold it up, not to mention my family has several little guys. Tianshui Town is also not afraid. I have arranged everything. Kill as many as come."

He recognized the Emperor, and even more recognized Eunuch Yu beside the Emperor.

"Not going. I'm tired. Why don't you take Heizi and follow them?"

"The son of Grand Secretary Gao?"

"How many people came this time?"

"I sent the Golden Dragon Guard to investigate. If it is true, what garrison commander to change? Directly raid the home and destroy the family. Whoever dares to put national affairs behind family affairs, I will definitely not forgive lightly."

There is a famous lake outside the city, not far away. Several people discussed and decided to take everyone to tour the lake.

"Don't disturb her. Perhaps she is thinking about how many people are staring at us in this teahouse, or perhaps she is thinking about something."

The Empress blushed and gave him a coquettish look. "The song is still okay, not worse than what I play."

"Understood."

"They have made up their minds. They want to solve you and the Empress in Suzhou. Only by solving you first and getting the military token on you will they have a chance to succeed in the capital."

Prefect Gao rode his horse to the sightseeing carriage. "Subordinate pays respects to Sixth Master."

"Did you submit a memorial?"

Because the sightseeing carriage had no windows, people outside could see clearly. When this Suzhou Prefect Gao saw the Emperor, the sweat on his forehead brushed out.

"What trouble?"

Yuan Jiaqi also glared at the Emperor this time. "This is my wife, don't who is who."

"Not stuffy. My wife is like a book. Even if I stay by my wife's side, my husband feels endless fun."

The Empress and Qiao Mai were each gnawing on a fruit, looking out the window. Yuan Jiaqi was holding a book and reading.

"Haha."

"Hmm."

Qiao Mai looked at Yuan Jiaqi seriously. "You accompany me like this, aren't you stuffy?"

Now the clouds of worry on Prefect Gao's face dissipated a lot, and he even showed some smiles.

Prefect Gao heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.

"No need to be polite, you can walk all the way and talk all the way."

"Then why did you scare me?"

"Yes."

"In-law?"

"Don't know why, there are no fish or shrimp inside, and people won't use lake water to water the land. Once this water is used to water the land, the crops will wither."

Qiao Mai snorted coldly. "The reason for the high salinity and alkalinity of the water, no one doubts."

The guards found a wide place to stop. Qiao Mai and the others also walked from the carriage.

Turning around, I saw an endless lake. The sky was blue and blue, and the lake water was also. There were no trees around, very open, and several boats were floating on the lake.
