Chapter 292 The Hidden Journey, Tianyue Tower
After saying that, Tang Guangjun hurriedly returned to the private room.
Li Hui looked completely bewildered.
No, she's here to find outside help, not to act as a carrier pigeon!
However, since her brother-in-law was giving such a serious and earnest explanation, it must be something important.
She subtly tucked the handkerchief into her sleeve and hurried downstairs.
Gao Mengli was staring anxiously at the entrance of the inn.
The rich young lady who had been shouting earlier returned.
Her patience had reached its limit. If all else failed, she planned to lead a group of outlaws to kidnap that "nobleman" tonight.
She tried every kind of torture on him, and she refused to believe that he wouldn't reveal Lin Xi's whereabouts.
There's no need to wait here for some damn Tang Guangjun.
However, there's a risk of accidentally kidnapping the wrong person.
So this person should wait, at least to find out the details and avoid "harming innocent people".
While Gao Mengli was still deep in thought, Li Hui walked over.
Li Hui's eyes were practically glued to the top of his head; he didn't even look where he was going.
So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she soon encountered an "accident"!
"Oops~"
He twisted his ankle, his body tilted, and he immediately performed a flat-ground wrestling routine.
As luck would have it, he fell straight into Dou Weiyi, who was standing at the very front.
Dou Weiyi reacted quickly, turning his body to the side. Just as Li Hui was about to fall heavily to the ground, half of his body was suspended in mid-air.
Everyone was stunned and speechless. They glanced at Dou Weiyi, then turned to look at Li Hui, and finally all their eyes fell on Li Hui's hand, which was tightly gripping Dou Weiyi's belt.
"open!"
Dou Weiyi roared in anger and embarrassment, gripping her belt tightly with both hands.
His face was flushed red, whether from anger or from the tightness of his belt, it was hard to tell.
Ignoring Dou Weiyi's roar, Li Hui raised his "innocent" face and gripped her hand even tighter.
He kept complaining, "Why don't you help me up first? I twisted my ankle, and it hurts terribly."
Dou Weiyi was so angry that she rolled her eyes. She freed one hand to grab the place where Li Hui was holding his belt and kept yelling, "Please take your hand off my belt!"
If she were to pull it down, wouldn't he lose face in the entire neighboring county?
Li Hui not only refused to let go, but also used this opportunity to put his other hand on top of hers.
Dou Wei was startled; men and women should not touch each other, so she quickly withdrew her hand.
Just as I was about to pull my hand away, I felt a chill in my palm, and there was something in my palm.
He instinctively wanted to throw it away, but he was caught off guard when he saw Li Hui glancing nervously at the guard.
He immediately suppressed his shock and anger, calmly clenching his fist and hiding the unknown object in his palm.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Hui secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and doubts arose in his mind.
Is this woman performing in a play?
Thinking of this, Dou Weiyi quickly gave the chubby girl a wink.
The chubby girl was engrossed in watching when she was caught off guard by Dou Weiyi's gaze and reluctantly walked over.
With both hands, they slipped under Li Hui's armpits through her back and, with a forceful movement, lifted her off the ground.
Li Hui felt as if he had taken off from flat ground.
Before I could even react, I was already standing like a green onion.
She turned her head and stared at the chubby girl, wide-eyed.
The chubby girl clapped her hands, a playful and smug look on her face, "You're welcome."
"Who needs to thank you? Stop being so self-important."
Li Hui's eyebrows furrowed, her cheeks flushed with anger. She glared fiercely at the fat girl, then turned to the maids and servants behind her and roared like a lioness: "Are you all dead? Hurry up and help me into the carriage!"
The maids and servants then realized what was happening and quickly rushed over to help Li Hui into the carriage.
Once seated in the carriage, she lifted the curtain and peeked out, not forgetting to mock the group below: "Hmph, you peasants, why don't you hurry back? This isn't your place!"
After saying that, he lowered the curtain, drove the carriage away, and rode off.
"Hey, is this guy crazy??"
The buck-toothed girl, unable to contain her anger, lifted her skirt and prepared to use her light-footed skills to catch up with her and argue with her.
"Ayu, don't go, let's go back to Pingyao."
Unexpectedly, Dou Weiyi suddenly spoke up, stopping the buck-toothed jade in its tracks.
Gao Mengli stared at Dou Weiyi, puzzled, only to see him subtly shake his head at her.
She could only suppress her doubts and tugged at the irritable buck-toothed Yu: "Yu, let's go home first."
Although Bucktooth Jade was full of resentment, seeing Gao Mengli and Dou Weiyi trying to dissuade him, he could only stomp his foot angrily.
She tossed her skirt and reluctantly nodded: "Hmph, I'll let her off this time, but if I see her acting so arrogantly again, I won't let her off easily!"
After saying that, he glared at the direction the carriage had gone.
The group arrived in haste and left in haste.
Once on the wooden boat, when it reached the middle of the river, Dou Weiyi quickly took out her handkerchief.
Buck-toothed Yu glanced at Dou Weiyi, who looked constipated, and said, "You two... were secretly exchanging gifts???"
Dou Weiyi glared at Ayu and shook the handkerchief in his hand: "This is a man's handkerchief, not a woman's."
He could tell the difference between men's handkerchiefs made of cotton and women's handkerchiefs made of silk or gauze.
Otherwise, how could he have accepted the handkerchief offered to him without even meeting him?
If his ex-wife and former aunt found out he was wiping the bed, would he even be able to live?
Because of the different feel, he felt there was something fishy going on, which was why it was hidden.
Upon hearing Dou Weiyi's words, everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they all crowded around Dou Weiyi, ready to take a look.
Dou Weiyi quickly unfolded the handkerchief, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
He frowned, looked up at the chubby girl, and said, "Chubby girl, move aside a bit, you're blocking the torch."
Upon hearing this, the chubby girl quickly moved back, muttering resentfully, "I was just in a hurry to see it, I didn't do it on purpose."
The torchlight shone through, and the bloodstains on the handkerchief gradually became clear.
"Suck--"
Everyone gasped when they saw the writing on the handkerchief.
[He traveled incognito to Tianyue Tower]
The others were shocked that the words were written in blood, but Dou Wei was shocked that Crown Prince Yin Bi had actually gone on an incognito tour.
Tianyuelou was ostensibly owned by the Crown Princess's family, but in reality, it was a restaurant where the Crown Prince amassed wealth.
For restaurants to make money more quickly, they need chefs and recipes.
It is now absolutely certain that Lin Xi has been captured by the Crown Prince.
"What does this sentence mean?"
Gao Mengli was completely bewildered; it really is important which circle you're in.
Her social circle didn't have access to these things, so she didn't understand these official codes.
This must have been sent by that woman at Tang Guangjun's behest.
Who would have thought that arrogant and domineering girl was actually an ally?
Dou Weiyi frowned, staring at the handkerchief: "This 'Bi Weixing' refers to Crown Prince Yin Bi's private travels, where his whereabouts are kept secret."
Tianyue Tower is both the property of the Crown Princess's family and the Crown Prince's money bag, and there are many intricacies involved.
Lin Xi is a master chef; he must possess unique recipes. The Crown Prince likely kidnapped him to exploit him, aiming to improve and innovate dishes to further expand his financial resources.
Bucktooth Jade's eyes widened in astonishment: "So, the person in that inn was the Crown Prince?!"
