The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 696: The Fake Food Delivery Person

"Princess, Tianyin Pavilion has replied, saying that they will do their best to help you with publicity, but they cannot guarantee that they can achieve the effect you want." Qiao Fu walked to Xiao Yue's side to report.

"Got it." Xiao Yue nodded in response. She looked a little listless and no longer had the energy and spirit she had before.

Qiao Fu thought about it and persuaded: "Princess, the marriage cannot be changed. Princess, don't worry too much about your health."

Alas, if possible, they certainly hope that the princess will not go to marry. After all, no one wants to leave Beiyang with the princess.

But things have come to this point, and it seems that there is no chance of recovery at all, so we can only accept our fate.

Xiao Yue glanced at Qiao Fu sullenly. If it were before, she would probably have scolded her and poured cold water on her, but at this moment she really couldn't say anything.

He withdrew his gaze and thought for a while, then finally asked, "Is there any news from Murong Yu?"

"Reporting to the princess, he seems to be still ill. As for the other details, I am not sure. Do you want me to send someone to investigate further?"

"No need." Xiao Yue took a deep breath, "You and Qiao Rong get ready and go out of the palace with me to visit the patient."

"Princess, the Ninth Prince is being cared for by an imperial physician. It might be against etiquette for you to go and visit him," Qiao Fu said worriedly.

It was just an excuse that it was against etiquette. What really worried Qiao Fu was that the relationship between the princess and the envoys from Xilin was very delicate. If she showed up in the clinic in a swaggering manner, it would probably be embarrassing.

"It's not against etiquette. After all, if the marriage cannot be shaken off, I will go to Xilin where I am unfamiliar with the place. I will have to find someone I can rely on at the beginning."

Although Murong Yu had plotted against her before, pretending to be sick did help her. She had no way of being sure what the other party was thinking, so she decided to test and find out.

She didn't trust Murong Yu, but apart from Murong Yu, she really didn't have anyone familiar in Xilin.

Because of the marriage and the women's academy, Xiao Yue has been able to enter and leave the palace freely recently. Soon, she took Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong out of the palace and headed towards the inn.

Xiao Yue originally wanted to go directly to the main entrance of the post house, but when he was almost there, he saw officials from the Honglu Temple standing in front of the post house through the curtain of the carriage. He did not want to meet them for fear of causing rumors, so he ordered the carriage to take a detour to the back of the post house to avoid them temporarily.

When I arrived, I saw a man dressed in ordinary clothes like coarse linen walking out of the back door.

"Who is that?" Xiao Yue asked casually.

Qiao Fu looked at the vegetable basket on the other person's body and the cart parked at the back door. "Princess, it should be a delivery of vegetables. The fresh vegetables needed in this posthouse have to be delivered every day."

Xiao Yue nodded without saying anything else. Just as she was about to look away, she took a quick glance and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The person delivering the vegetables had his back to Xiao Yue. When he put the vegetable basket in place and bent over to push the cart, the short shirt he was wearing became tight due to the force, revealing the shape of the item pinned to his waist.

Like a dagger!

Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat and she looked carefully at the man who delivered the food.

Although his attire was very ordinary and he was inconspicuous in the crowd, his posture was straight and he looked like a martial artist.

Could it be that he sneaked into the inn disguised as a food deliveryman and wanted to kill Murong Yu?

This was the first guess that came to Xiao Yue's mind, but she quickly denied it.

impossible!

If he came here with the intention of killing Murong Yu, he could only get to the kitchen at best by disguising himself as a delivery man, and there would be no chance of contact, so the possibility of success was too small.

If it wasn't for the purpose of assassinating Murong Yu, then it was possible that he was here to deliver a message!

Xiao Yue shuddered, and suddenly became excited.

Seeing the man going away, he immediately whispered to the driver: "Hurry, follow him!"

Because of the previous incident, when Xiao Yue left the palace today, the coachman was a palace guard. After hearing Xiao Yue's order, he immediately drove to follow.

But the next moment, Xiao Yue stopped him again, "Forget it, the carriage is too conspicuous, you go and follow it yourself, and make sure you find out where that person went, and don't let him find you."

"Yes."

Soon, the guards followed Xiao Yue's orders.

In order not to alert the enemy, Xiao Yue brought Qiao Fu, Qiao Rong and others into the inn and met Murong Yu under the pretext of visiting.

Murong Yu still looked sick, leaning on the bed, but when he saw Xiao Yue, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Is the princess satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Xiao Yue nodded, "Thank you, Ninth Prince."

"Then I wonder if what the princess wants to do can succeed?" Murong Yu asked again.

Xiao Yue thought about the enrollment results that were far from what she expected, and felt a little disappointed. She only said, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Regardless, with all the arrangements, the woman’s discharge from the hospital must earn her some good name.

After the work at Tianyin Pavilion is done, she will try to see if she can make Emperor Xiao change his mind.

"Heh..." Murong Yu smiled softly, "The princess seems to be more open-minded than before, but it's okay this way. After all, many things in this world are hard to achieve as you wish. Just try and don't regret it."

Xiao Yue was still thinking about the guards' tracking results, and said absentmindedly: "The Ninth Prince is right."

Murong Yu looked at Xiao Yue and saw the unusual look in her expression.

"I wonder why the Fifth Princess came here today?"

When the purpose of her trip was mentioned, Xiao Yue finally came back to her senses, straightened her expression and looked at Murong Yu seriously.

"Of course, I want to visit the Ninth Prince. If I go to Xilin for marriage, I hope the Ninth Prince can take good care of me."

"Is that all?" Murong Yu asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yue nodded.

Murong Yu smiled again, "That's easy to say, Fifth Princess, don't worry."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xiao Yue, still thinking about the identity of the person who delivered the food, stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving the inn, the guards had not yet returned, so Xiao Yue did not return to the palace immediately. Instead, she asked Qiao Fu to drive the carriage to the side of the street and wait, while she went into a nearby teahouse to drink tea.

When the tea in front of him had completely cooled down and he was about to ask the waiter to bring new tea, the guard finally reappeared.

After seeing Qiao Fu on the street, the guard quickly entered the teahouse.

"Princess, I was ordered to follow him and found that he was indeed suspicious."
