Chapter 293 Number One Scholar Building
Zhuangyuan Building is very famous in the capital city. It is said that it was not called this name before. Later, one of the scholars who lived there became the top scholar in the imperial examination, so the name was directly changed to Zhuangyuan Building.
This sign sounds auspicious, so Zhuangyuanlou has always had good business. Also, since most of the guests are literati and scholars, there have gradually been more literary competitions.
All kinds of poetry and literature appreciation meetings will be held in Zhuangyuan Building first, and the same is true for this debate meeting.
Su Qingwan came here with her elder brother Su Yuewen and her younger brother Su Yuewu.
The eldest brother booked a private room in advance. After they entered Zhuangyuan Building, they were led to their private room by the second brother.
"Sister, you sit here and play. I'm going to look for cousin Yulang." Su Yuewen just saw Li Yulang talking to several classmates across the street.
"Okay, go ahead, big brother." Su Qingwan smiled gently and watched Su Yuewen leave.
Su Yuewu was standing by the window bored. When he saw a waiter passing by, he waved to him to come up.
"Sister, let's eat and listen at the same time, otherwise it will be really boring."
He didn't have to come here today, but was dragged here by his eldest brother, who told him to protect Su Qingwan's safety.
The eldest brother must have forgotten that where his sister is, no one else is safe.
"Okay!" Su Qingwan heard the sound of a gong from below, and the debate meeting must have begun.
She listened carefully, but she lost interest because the scholar's words were full of nonsense.
After a short while, the waiter brought in the food and also a pot of plum wine.
"Fourth Miss, you are here already."
After Li Yuncheng heard from his followers that Su Qingwan had arrived, he came over.
"who are you?"
Su Yuewu instantly stared at Li Yuncheng with a fierce look. Who is this person?
"Yue Wu, don't be rude. This is the virtuous prince Li Yuncheng." Su Qingwan said.
"Hello, Prince! How do you know my sister?"
Li Yuncheng had met Su Yuewu before, but he had disguised himself at that time, so the other party did not recognize him.
"Your sister is my savior." Li Yuncheng said.
Su Yuewu's fierce momentum just now was extraordinary, so I think his skills must be extraordinary as well.
"When did it happen? Sister, when did you save him?" Su Yuewu looked at Su Qingwan with curiosity.
"You didn't go when we went to the White Horse Temple last time, so you don't know." Su Qingwan explained briefly.
"It was just an accident. It can't be considered as saving you on purpose."
"You can't say that. It was really dangerous that time. If it weren't for the Fourth Miss who came to my rescue, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you."
During the incident at the White Horse Temple, his whereabouts were leaked, which attracted the killers. Although the killers had no identifying information, he could infer that they were none other than the princes who disliked him extremely.
"Please take a seat, Prince." Su Qingwan said as she poured him a cup of tea.
Li Yuncheng sat down as he was told, "Sorry for bothering you!"
The chief guard standing outside twitched his mouth. Why is the master doing this?
So what if I booked a private room?
He still has to sit inside with the Fourth Miss, and the young master of the Su family is also here, so it’s not convenient for the master to say anything.
"I heard before that Young Master Su has a very good relationship with several young masters in Prince Yi's mansion, and they even worship the same martial arts master."
Li Yuncheng looked at Su Yuewu with eyes full of appreciation.
"You know all about this? Who told you?" Su Yuewu asked curiously.
Su Qingwan knew that Li Yuncheng must have investigated the people in the Su family, so it was not surprising to know this.
However, she didn't like the way Li Yuncheng looked at her brother.
"The Crown Prince is in charge of the Imperial City Department, so it's normal for him to know about this little thing. I think it's boring for you to stay here, so you should go out and play by yourself. I'll wait for my eldest brother to come back and go home with him."
Su Qingwan knew that Li Yuncheng wanted to discuss something with her, so she took the initiative to send Su Yuewu away.
"Sister, don't be impulsive!" Su Yuewu lowered his voice and warned.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you stay and record the content of the debate meeting, and let Big Brother test you again when you return."
Su Qingwan curled her lips and smiled, which made Su Yuewu feel uneasy. He felt that he should not have said that.
"I'm going out."
Su Yuewu's last word came from outside, and there was also the sound of a door closing.
"You all should go outside and guard as well." Su Qingwan asked Zhenzhu and others to go outside as well.
After everyone left, Su Qingwan asked, "What did the prince write to invite me about?"
Although the two were working together, Su Qingwan felt that there was no need to meet more often, especially today. There were many people in Zhuangyuan Building and who knew what would happen.
"I just want to meet the Fourth Miss." Li Yuncheng said truthfully.
"What's the point of seeing me? You might as well think about how to make those two people die."
The two princes will not be imprisoned for long. The emperor will release them sooner or later.
Li Yuncheng naturally wanted to do so, but now was not the best time to take action.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "My Lord!"
"Come in!"
The chief guard came in, glanced at Li Yuncheng, and wanted to whisper something to him, but Li Yuncheng said, "The fourth young lady is not an outsider, just speak directly."
"Yes! The second young lady of the Su family has entered Prince Qi's mansion." The captain of the guards bowed.
After hearing this, Su Qingwan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She had only heard that Su Yunrou had booked a private room in Zhuangyuan Building, and thought that she would come to Zhuangyuan Building today, but she didn't expect that she actually sneaked into Prince Qi's Mansion.
However, the Qi Wang Mansion is heavily guarded. If she wants to go in, she must...
Su Qingwan looked at Li Yuncheng and asked, "You led her to find the King of Qi, and then deliberately let her in?"
Li Yuncheng smiled and said, "This is what she has in mind. I just can't bear to see the pain of the wild mandarin ducks being separated, so I gave them a chance."
"Wild Mandarin Ducks? This name suits them very well." Su Qingwan guessed that Li Yuncheng must have a backup plan, but she didn't know what it would be like.
But no matter what, as long as Su Yunrou was in trouble, she would be happy.
"There is one more thing. The Concubine Shu in the palace is ill. She wants to see the eldest lady Chen in Prince Yi's mansion. The emperor has agreed."
Li Yuncheng's words made Su Qingwan pause in drinking tea, but she immediately understood.
Concubine Shu is not giving up and still wants to win over the power of Prince Yi's Mansion for her son.
The fact that the emperor actually agreed meant that he was testing the palace, and at the same time testing his imprisoned third son.
"What you said means that the people from Prince Yi's Mansion have not entered the palace yet."
After talking with my uncle that day, I believe he has already made arrangements.
"Miss Four guessed correctly. Madam Chen sent a message to the palace saying that the old prince had contracted a cough and needed to be taken care of in the mansion. He had no time to come to the palace."
Li Yuncheng glanced at Su Qingwan and seemed to know what method she was trying to use to save Prince Yi's Mansion.
