The waiter just in time brought out everything they ordered.

"Guests, please use them with caution."

Wuying quickly stood up and poured tea for them both, avoiding Long Nishang's panic-stricken eyes.

"Hmm...this herbal tea tastes pretty good!"

Su Liluo saw through it without saying anything, so she picked up the herbal tea that Wuying poured for her, took a big sip, and felt physically and mentally comfortable.

Then, she also recommended that Wuying and Long Nichang also drink and watch.

Long Nishang cleaned her hands with the water brought by the waiter, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

The herbal tea tastes bitter in the mouth and is not as delicious as Su Liluo said!

"..."

Su Liluo looked at her slightly frowning expression and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice:

"How about it, Xiao Jiu'er?"

"Sister A Li...the smell of this herbal tea..." She didn't finish her sentence because the waiter was not far away.

Su Liluo knew what she meant.

“When you first taste it, it’s bitter and hard to swallow, but after you taste it carefully, you may be able to taste the sweetness.

If you don’t believe it, Xiaojiu, you can try again! "

Long Nishang raised her eyebrows in disbelief and looked at her tentatively: "Sister Ali didn't deceive me?"

"Ah."

"Okay, then Xiaojiu will try again."

Long Nishang put her green-tipped fingers under the dark tea bowl, brought her lips to it, and took another sip of herbal tea.

This time, the bitter and unpleasant herbal tea entered her mouth and went down her throat. It was indeed not as unpleasant as before. Indeed, as Su Liluo said, it had a pleasant aftertaste.

In this midsummer afternoon, drinking some of this unique herbal tea will give you a refreshing cooling effect.

Long Nishang looked at Su Liluo overjoyed: "Sister Ali is so amazing, she actually tastes sweet."

"Well... Xiaojiu likes it, so he drinks more. This herbal tea relieves the heat and quenches his thirst."

"Okay, please, sister, too."

Su Liluo looked at the innocent and lovely girl in front of her with a smile, and was filled with emotions in her heart.

What a good princess. She was not crippled by the evil-hearted wife of the queen. Although she was a wealthy woman, she could still afford the bitter herbal tea of ​​the common people.

She turned to look at Wuying who was just drinking tea, her eyes sparkling with beauty.

"Wuying, do you think Miss Ninth's taste is not that tricky?"

"what!?"

Wuying was suddenly asked this question by her, and his stern face was stained with a layer of red frost.

It was a hot noon, and he, who was already feeling hot, suddenly became unbearably hot.

"Ah what? This girl is asking you, do you also think that Miss Ninth is actually quite easy to support?"

This boy, who is so smooth and fluid when encountering an enemy and killing someone, why is he so timid when facing the girl he likes?

It really makes others anxious to watch.

"Oh, that's what Miss A Li said. Miss Ninth is not difficult to take care of, easy to feed, easy to feed..."

"..."

Su Liluo was speechless at Wuying's words.

The mouth is on his face and she has set up the stairs, so why can't he say a few nice words to coax the little girl who ran away from the palace just for him?

This stupid guy is really an unteachable brat!

"Hey……"

Forget it!

She should just wait and see what happens between them in the future, but she really can't control it, she can't control it!

Su Liluo disliked Wuying's words as unromantic, but Long Nishang's crimson lips slightly raised after hearing this, and she raised her hand to drink the remaining half bowl of bitter herbal tea.

Long Nishang knew that Wuying was not good at words, so it was not easy to say this.

The three of them rested for a while, drank herbal tea, ate snacks and fruits, and tidied up before remounting their horses.

**

That night, there was a large house in Duqi City, which was spacious and quiet.

In the middle of the courtyard, on a low couch, sits a young man in white clothes. He has a handsome face and extraordinary appearance. His dark eyes are full of tranquility and indifference. His thin lips are slightly pursed. He is holding a chess piece and looking down at the front of him. The square jade chessboard was lost in thought.

This young master was none other than Rong Yan, the mysterious young master who appeared in a sedan chair not far from Duke Luo's mansion that day during the funeral of Young Master Luo.

The person beside him, with his hands in front of him and standing silently in respect, was none other than Li Mingyue, the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Rong Yan was playing chess alone. On the white jade square board, the black and white chess pieces each occupied half of the country. The black piece was only one step ahead of the white piece, but it grabbed the white piece by the throat.

The next move will definitely determine the direction of the chess game.

Li Mingyue didn't dare to say anything for fear of interrupting his elegance.

At this moment, a young boy led Qiu Wanshan from outside.

"Sir, they have already left the city during the day."

"Yes." Rong Yan didn't raise his eyes, but responded lightly.

Qiu Wanshan spoke again, his words a little urgent: "It's just that, young master, there seems to be some changes.

Accompanying Princess Rui was another girl wearing a hat and veil.

Our people heard the secret guards of the palace calling her ‘Nine Girls’. "

Only then did Rong Yan draw his attention away from the chess game. He raised his head and looked at Qiu Wanshan with slightly moving eyes.

"Nine girls?"

"Yes."

Rong Yan pinched the chess piece with his fingertips and smiled lightly.

"I got it. I ordered your people to make sure not to hurt the Ninth Princess in the slightest when they take action."

Rong Yan lowered his head again and watched the chess game.

"Young master, I am glad that the ninth lady is..."

"Well, if you shouldn't inquire, don't ask any more questions and just go ahead."

"Yes, young master. I will go and pass the message to them now."

Qiu Wanshan stepped back obediently, with a look of respect on his face. He was not at all like the boss Qiu who usually played both sides and had a fake smile in front of outsiders.

"Mingyue, your last letter said that Prince Ning's letters were stolen by Princess Rui and Situ Changfeng?"

When Li Mingyue heard Rong Yan's question, she dared to step forward and reply respectfully.

"Sir, yes."

"Yeah. When did the owner of Yiqian Building start doing such sneaky things...

It seems that Princess Rui really has great powers! "

As soon as she heard the words "Princess Rui", Li Mingyue's eyes would flash into the venomous snake that she pinched in her hand and exploded to death with bloody flesh.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the nausea rolling in his stomach and clasped his palms tightly, fearing that he would be rude in front of Rong Yan.

What a keen person Rong Yan is!

Even without raising his eyes, he could sense something unusual about him.

Thinking of the message the people in Pinxiang Tower sent him, Rong Yan said in a calm voice: "What, Mingyue, are you still thinking about that snake?"

"Uh……!!!"

At this moment, Li Mingyue's face turned completely pale, and his whole body could not help but tremble slightly.

"Sir, the bright moon is useless, please forgive me."

Li Mingyue knew that everything that happened could not be hidden from Rong Yan's eyes and ears.

Rong Yan didn't get angry, and calmed him down softly: "Ming Yue, don't blame yourself.

Yan knows that you have been afraid of venomous snakes since you were a child. It is reasonable for Princess Narui to be so cruel and disgusting and frightened you..."

"Subordinate, thank you for your understanding, Sir!"

Li Mingyue burst into tears with gratitude. Su Liluo tricked him into signing the contract last time at Pinxiang Tower, which caused heavy losses to the Chamber of Commerce. Although he had already revised the book and reported it to Rong Yan, he was still worried that he would be severely punished by him.

Now, after hearing Rong Yan's words with her own ears, Li Mingyue could finally let go of her hanging heart.

Young master probably won't punish him this time.
