"How long will it take to get from the capital to Suzhou?" Qu Yiyu frowned as he thought about it.

Fu hurriedly replied, "If it's not too long, it's about two days. If it's too fast, it's about a day and a night. That Su Province isn't too far away from the place where the Godly Doctor Gu was kidnapped."

Qu Yiyu displeased and frowned, "Don't mention that brat Gu Xiao in front of me, who has nothing better to do, who has nothing to do, and who stole my princess away. The last time he openly teased my palace maids, he was lawless, and seeing him in the imperial court everyday was already enough to annoy us, if not for Xue Er blocking him, we would have already killed him!"

Fu, who knew that he said the wrong thing, lowered his head, not daring to look at the furious Son of Heaven.

Although he didn't know how the Godly Doctor Gu provoked the Emperor, since it was a reverse scale, he better not talk about it too much.

"We will give that Tang Clan kid three days. After receiving the imperial edict, we must immediately set off for the capital. If he dares to disobey, we will!" Saying up to here, Qu Yiyu paused.

The Tang Clan had already lost a daughter because of him. Moreover, Tang Ren hadn't entered the imperial court for a long time. It would be difficult to find a crime against them in this short period of time.

"If anyone dares to disobey the decree, I shall punish that Tang Ren for being in a high position and not coming to court earlier for all these years for failing to fulfill his duties and leaving the jurisdiction without authorization."

Qu Yiyu thought and found such evidence.

Feng Xiwu felt the little thing's trembling in her arms, and thought that it was afraid of living, so she returned it to the little boy's hands.

"It's fine, just pay attention to it next time." Feng Xiwu stroked his hair, comforting him.

Qu Jingxi naturally did not like these, especially the little fox. Who knew what tricks it had hidden under its outer appearance. If Wu likes it, he should be able to find a clever fox from other places to exchange for this one.

After making up his mind, Qu Jingxi saw that the look in the little fox's eyes were not as hateful as before.

Thinking that Feng Xiwu had not eaten dinner, Prince Jing spoke a few words and the two groups of people went their separate ways.

"Prince, have you eaten dinner yet?" While waiting for the dishes to be served, Feng Xiwu looked at Prince Jing and asked carefully. After all, she was the one who did the wrong thing.

Qu Jingxi removed the teacup from his mouth, his thin lips curling into a smile, "Not yet."

After a simple reply, the two of them no longer spoke.

Feng Xiwu absent-mindedly stuffed the rice grains into her mouth, as she pondered about the Empress's intentions today.

"Eat well, don't let your thoughts run wild." Prince Jing's voice interrupted her train of thoughts. Feng Xiwu frowned, she had finally thought of something and after being interrupted like this, she forgot about it again.

The little girl frowned slightly as Prince Jing helplessly spoke again.

"Eat first. After dinner, you can get angry however you want." After saying that, he picked up a freshly roasted pork chop and put it into her bowl. This is the new cook's sweet and sour pork. You like to eat sweet, so you put more sugar in it. "

Alright, for the sake of eating, she wouldn't mind so much.

He picked up the steaming hot ribs and put it in his mouth, but he didn't expect the next second, the pain at the tip of his tongue would cause her to scream miserably.

Qu Jingxi hurriedly put down his chopsticks and poured a cup of water for her mouth. He slowly poured the warm tea into his mouth along with the cup that the man handed to him, and only then did the scalded tip of his tongue become more comfortable.

"It's all this king's fault. Next time, I'll definitely help you blow the whistle for it when I'm picking up your food."

Feng Xiwu was not stupid, she must have understood the meaning of her words and couldn't help but pout her lips in grievance.

How could she have known that the fragrant pork chop was so hot?

"Prince, you did it on purpose, it must be because of what happened that morning. You gave me such a hot pork chop just to watch me get scalded."

The unhappy Feng Xiwu took the ribs and began to talk.

Qu Jingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't want her to eat too little dinner due to her mood. When she was at the palace today, she hadn't had much lunch.

"In Wu's eyes, is this duke that petty?"

Feng Xiwu thought about the matter of the clothes last time, wasn't it?

Seeing her slightly pout his lips and not say a word, Qu Jingxi personally picked up the piece of rib from her bowl, blew on it with his mouth, and brought it to Feng Xiwu's mouth once again.

"This King guarantees that it won't get hot this time."

Feng Xiwu turned her eyes slightly, and the servants and pearls beside him lowered their heads and did not look at them.

The delicate lean meat and the rich soup, along with the warm and fragrant taste, instantly dispelled the gloom in her heart.

Qu Jingxi held the other half of the piece while waiting for her to finish eating it.

After tasting the delicacy, she naturally wouldn't be tangled by a bad mood anymore. Qu Jingxi once again put the other half of the piece into her mouth, and only then did Feng Xiwu pick up the chopsticks to continue eating.

As Qu Jingxi ate, he did not forget to give her the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs from time to time. Of course, before putting it into Feng Xiwu's bowl, he would ensure that it was warm and not hot.

In the evening of the last day of the month, the biggest tavern in the city, the Fu Lai Inn, was brightly lit.

However, compared to the usual hustle and bustle, the inn was very quiet today. Two red lanterns hung between the doors, making it seem especially festive.

Lu Wanru sat in the private room of the pavilion, straightening her back and straightening her clothes over and over again.

From time to time, he would ask Qing Shui who was standing guard by the window, and the way he looked at the passing of time caused Lu Baichuan who was waiting by the side to be extremely unhappy, "Ru'er, how did father teach you? How can a girl not know how to be reserved? "

Lu Wanru's face reddened, but she did not retort, "Father, our daughter is worried that if the Duke is not willing, then we …"

"Impossible," Without waiting for Lu Wanru to finish speaking, Lu Baichuan immediately rejected her idea, "Our Lu family has a lot of resources and influence, who wouldn't want it? Furthermore, we are from the same family, so we have a lot of authority."

Lu Baichuan glanced at his daughter, and took a sip of tea, "Don't worry, as long as that Qu Jingxi is not stupid, he will definitely come tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter's voice came from outside the door.

"Young master, this is the place."

Lu Wanru's face quickly flushed red. Since she was here, could it be that she agreed to her conditions?

Without any time to think, the simple and elegant door was opened in the next second.

A long and elegant body appeared in front of them, still with that haughty and indifferent face. Lu Wanru was elated, the happiness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

The man she had dreamed of.

"Your highness is here, hurry and take your seat." Seeing that Qu Jingxi had arrived, Lu Baichuan opened his mouth and said.

Although there was a smile on his face, he only said those words and didn't have any plans to stand up to welcome him. The waiter moved a chair forward and after helping him sit down, he immediately went out to prepare to serve the dishes.

The people who came today were all rich lords. If he served them well, he might be able to earn some money.
