Chapter 400 Doubt Again
Chapter 400 Doubt Again
"I'm sorry! Maybe my behavior was a little rash and abrupt. If I have caused you any trouble or inconvenience, please don't take it to heart and just pretend that I never said anything.
In fact, deep in my heart, I have always been obsessed with your superb cooking skills, and I especially hope to have the opportunity to taste the delicious food made by you again.
But if it's not so convenient for you, then forget it, just treat it as if I didn't have the chance and I'll have another chance in the future."
Qian Duoduo suddenly felt that what Chu Yan said was a bit pitiful.
"No trouble, no trouble. It's rare that we have the same taste, I'm so happy. You don't know, Big Brother and Murong Yun can't eat spicy food, every time I eat with them, it's not fun.
Perfect, I plan on cooking up some spicy seafood feast tomorrow!
Imagine the tender and juicy shrimp, plump and chewy crab meat, and smooth shellfish, wrapped in various spicy seasonings and exuding a mouth-watering aroma.
In every bite, you can feel the original deliciousness of the seafood and the stimulation brought by the chili. The unique taste will surely jump on the tip of your tongue and bring an unprecedented feast to your taste buds.
I believe this delicious meal will satisfy you and you won’t be able to stop eating it! ”
"Haha, really? It's my honor. I will come on time tomorrow."
"no problem."
The two people looked at each other and smiled, and an ambiguous feeling spread between them.
"Hehe, why don't we go out for a walk to help digest the food?" Chu Yan suggested first.
"it is good!"
"Miss, please wear this cloak."
Qiudong came over quickly and brought the thin cloak.
Although summer evenings are cooler, there are more insects, so it is better to wear a coat.
Qian Duoduo did not refuse and was about to ask Qiu Dong to put it on him.
"Give it to me, and you just follow behind."
Qiu Dong glanced at Qian Duoduo and saw that she had no objection, so he handed the cloak to Chu Yan with both hands.
"Yes, the servant knows."
After saying that, he lowered his head and stepped back.
Qian Duoduo didn't expect Chu Yan to be so proactive, so she stopped being shy.
Chu Yan gently put the cloak on Qian Duoduo and tied the straps carefully. Then, the two walked side by side, with slow and leisurely steps, as if time had slowed down for them.
It must be said that Qian Duoduo's yard is really large. In the spacious courtyard, the path is winding, and on both sides are green trees and colorful flowers.
The two of them strolled leisurely, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful time.
The maids following behind them did not make people feel crowded or cramped at all because the yard was wide enough.
"Did you gain anything from this trip?" Qian Duoduo took the initiative to find topics to chat about so as to avoid making the two of them too embarrassed.
Chu Yan did gain something from this trip, but he didn’t know how to tell Qian Duoduo.
He had previously suspected that Qian Duoduo was sent by the Qin State to deliberately approach him, seduce him, and finally kill him.
Because since I met Qian Duoduo, I encounter assassinations almost every time I meet her. It may be a coincidence once or twice, but it is not necessarily a coincidence if it happens too many times.
Besides, Chu Yan never believed in coincidences.
However, as he spent more time with Qian Duoduo, although he did not let down his guard against her, his heart gradually leaned towards her.
Especially after he found out that she was the daughter of the Yang family and that the old emperor had designed a marriage between them, he completely gave up his guard against her and let his heart follow his feelings.
But even with such strict control this time, he was still assassinated on the way there.
And I also met my own people, the ones who delivered the message.
The people who had delivered the message also discovered that the messages they had sent out repeatedly had fallen into oblivion and no response was received.
Because every time they pass on a message, the master will definitely send them a reply, telling them what the next plan is, or whether to wait.
But this time, they waited for a long time but received no news, so while they were passing on the message, they also secretly sent people to the capital, but they did not expect to meet Chu Yan and others halfway.
Information about military supplies is actually very easy to find, and it can be said to be a clear path through the government office.
In fact, they did not hide it at all, but just said that there was a younger generation in the family training in the army, and the elders in the family were afraid that the younger generation would suffer, so they sent some supplies from time to time.
But he didn't tell who the younger generation in the family was, what their names were, or where they were.
However, they were very thorough in their work, entrusting local merchants with the work and informing the government in advance.
This was something that almost all local people knew, so why was the message intercepted when his people sent the letter back? Was there any involvement of theirs?
If so, why? Is it just because you don't want him to know?
Apart from his uncle the Emperor and her, only those close to him knew the details of his departure from the capital.
However, what is puzzling is how his whereabouts were leaked?
How did those who intended to harm him accurately grasp the route he would take and set up an ambush there in advance to carry out the assassination?
Was there a traitor who tipped off the enemy? Or was there an expert who discovered his schedule through some mysterious means?
Or has the enemy already laid a tight net and has been waiting for such a perfect opportunity to carry out this carefully planned murder?
All kinds of questions linger in one's mind, making one fall into deep thought.
He really wanted to ask Qian Duoduo all these questions: was this her doing?
Chu Yan did not respond immediately, but turned to look at Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo happened to turn around and looked at him. Seeing his serious expression, he thought there was a royal secret that could not be revealed, so he smiled at him.
"If it's inconvenient to talk about it, you don't have to. Can you tell me about something fun outside, or something you can say?"
That’s right, I just told her that I was leaving Beijing.
As for the key information such as why he left Beijing, when he would set off, which route he would choose, etc.
She didn't even ask a single question, as if she had no interest in it at all, or even didn't know these important details at all.
If you think about it carefully, the reason why this series of confidential events happened and trace the root cause is probably the traitor lurking inside.
I'd better let An San screen the people inside again later.
