I just want to live a good life

Chapter 491: The Man Who Invaded Guang'an Palace at Night

The night in the Prince's Mansion was uneventful. It was not made more lively by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Kitchen God worship.

But the Guang'an Palace was bustling with activity. An assassin broke in, injured the princess, was beaten by the guards, and then escaped.

When the news reached the Prince's Mansion, Su Nuan took Liao Xinyi and her clothes and prepared to return to the General's Mansion.

The person sitting in the driver's seat is Liefeng.

When Su Nuan saw him, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Where's Xiaobai?"

Su Nuan asked Liefeng.

"Your Highness, I don't know. Not long after returning to the mansion yesterday, he went out. I don't know where he went. I haven't seen him all night. Just now, I heard that Your Highness was going out, so I went to look for him again, but I still didn't see him."

Su Nuan frowned when she heard this. Leng Yue also did not return home all night. Could it be that these two were together?

"Your Highness, don't worry. Ye Xiaobai is quite skilled in martial arts. As long as he doesn't provoke the wrong people, he won't be in danger."

"I'm afraid he might mess with someone he shouldn't mess with."

"Mother, what did you say?"

Liefeng asked in confusion.

"Nothing, let's go."

After Su Nuan finished speaking, she took Liao Xinyi into the carriage.

The streets are unusually noisy today. From time to time, you can hear the shouts of soldiers, as if they are arresting someone.

"Hiefeng, go see what happened."

Su Nuan always felt uneasy about Ye Xiaobai not coming home at night.

Liefeng took the order and walked towards a group of soldiers in the middle of the street.

In just a short while, he returned to the car.

Su Nuan quickly lifted the car curtain and spoke to him.

"Reporting to the queen, it is the Imperial City Division that is arresting people. Last night, a thief broke into the residence of Prince Guang'an, injured someone, and ran away."

The person who broke into Prince Guang'an's mansion is most likely Ye Xiaobai. Could it be that Leng Yue fell into Prince Guang'an's trap and Ye Xiaobai went to rescue her?

"Who was hurt?"

"Princess Guang'an."

"The one who was hurt was Princess Guang'an?" Su Nuan murmured. What hatred could Ye Xiaobai have against Princess Guang'an? How could he hurt her? Could it be that the person who broke into the Guang'an Palace at night was not Ye Xiaobai, but Leng Yue?

"Do you know whether the thief is a man or a woman?"

"It seems to be a man."

"What characteristics can you describe that person?"

"Madam, you are doubting..."

Liefeng didn't finish his words because he saw Concubine Xia's serious expression and felt that he had guessed right.

"Let's not go to the General's Mansion. Let's go to Piaoxiang Tea House. No matter if it's him or not, let's find him first."

If the person who broke into Prince Guang'an's mansion that night and injured the princess was really Ye Xiaobai, then he would not be able to be saved as the prince's concubine. Su Nuan was already thinking about how to let him leave the imperial city alive.

At Su Nuan's urging, Liefeng drove the carriage very fast, and soon they arrived at Piaoxiang Tea House.

The tea shop's business is as good as ever. Some people placed orders in the morning and came to pick them up today. Some old customers came to place additional orders, and some new customers came just for the reputation of the tea shop. Su Qingmo and his shop assistants are very busy.

When they saw Su Nuan, everyone just greeted her. Su Qingmo was so absorbed in calculating accounts that he didn't even say hello to Su Nuan.

Su Nuan glanced at the counter quickly. Even though she was worried about Ye Xiaobai and Leng Yue at the moment and had no time to think about anything else, she was still surprised by the glance. She saw five abacuses placed side by side on the counter, with a piece of paper underneath each one.

A few guys over there were weighing and packing food for different customers. They would announce the weight of a certain item loudly after weighing it.

Su Qingmo calculated the price based on the number reported by the waiter. He held a pen in his right hand and moved the abacus beads with his left hand. He wrote down the number on the paper underneath. He didn't even raise his head, and he could calculate the number reported by five waiters at the same time, and these five waiters reported the number alternately.

Su Nuan silently admired that this man was born to be a shopkeeper.

Su Nuan distracted himself and gave Su Qingmo a thumbs up, then went straight to the back hall without stopping.

Chu Qi and Song Qi were not there, but surprisingly, Falcon, who had disappeared for a few days, was here, and with him was Zhu Mingliang.

"Why are you here?"

Su Nuan asked in surprise. Before selling the glass bracelet to Xun Zheng, she was afraid something might happen, so she asked Falcon to hide Zhu Mingliang. Many days passed and Falcon hadn't sent any news back. Su Nuan was quite worried about them, but then these two people showed up today.

"My lady, I failed in my duty. I didn't keep an eye on him and let him escape."

Falcon briefly recounted what had happened since the two men left.

That day, the two men left the city and did not dare to return to the workshop where they had lived before. Instead, they went to hide in the nearby mountains.

There are huts on the mountain where hunters live temporarily when hunting.

Falcon was fine, as he was used to the hardships of being a secret guard on missions, so he didn't feel anything. But Zhu Mingliang couldn't stand it. There was nothing in this thatched hut, and it was so cold at night that people's faces were numb. If they wanted to eat something hot, they could only build a fire and roast some game. Although Falcon was good at martial arts and catching prey, the two of them would not starve, but eating game every day was too much for a human.

Zhu Mingliang just wanted to have a normal meal.

In addition, the New Year is approaching and he misses home.

So, last night, while he was out peeing, he secretly ran away and returned home, but because he was afraid of getting his wife into trouble, he did not dare to stay at home and left before dawn.

When the falcon chased him, Zhu Mingliang was squatting at the door of a bun shop, eating buns madly.
