"What is Master going to buy?"
Lu Zhaoling was a little curious, because the location Yin Changxing mentioned was a street corner.
"I'm going to find Zong Bie and Xiao Sheng."
Yin Changxing gave her an unexpected answer.
Lu Zhaoling felt a little embarrassed; she had recently gotten married and almost forgot about Zong Bie and Xiao Sheng.
Little Saint is probably still working hard, right? I wonder what the drowned ghost is doing.
"Why did you suddenly decide to go find them, Master?" Lu Zhaoling said, standing up. "I'll go with you."
"No need, you should go back to the Prince's Mansion." Yin Changxing reached out and pressed her shoulder, making her sit down again.
"I'm going to ask Zong Bie about something." Yin Changxing didn't say what it was about.
Lu Zhaoling could only watch helplessly as he got off the carriage.
Zhou Shiyue asked her, "What, trying to sneak along?"
"No."
Lu Zhaoling shook her head. "Since Master said he would go, then let him go. If anything happens, he should tell me later."
"He probably went to ask Xiao Sheng about his true identity," Zhou Shiyue said calmly.
But he said it with absolute certainty.
Lu Zhaoling looked at him with some surprise.
"how do you know?"
"I'll tell you when I get back."
Lu Zhaoling gritted her teeth. Now everyone's keeping her in suspense, huh?
The carriage continued towards the Prince's Palace.
Zhou Shiyue was right.
Yin Changxing went to Zong Bie to inquire about Xiao Sheng's true identity.
They hadn't paid much attention to this before because they thought it wasn't a big deal.
However, after the incident at the ancestral temple and after sealing the formation in the cold palace, Yin Changxing suddenly made a discovery.
Moreover, Yin Changxing had already made some guesses about Zong Bie's identity.
Xiao Sheng is currently working as a waiter in a restaurant.
When Yin Changxing met him, he was helping a guest carry out a jar of wine and put it on the guest's carriage.
After placing the wine jar on the table, he stepped back two paces, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and called out to the passengers in the carriage, "Take care, sir, come again next time!"
"Brother, drive slowly."
As the carriage drove away, Xiao Sheng finally saw Yin Changxing standing diagonally opposite him.
He paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head to look into the restaurant.
At a table in the corner of the lobby sat a middle-aged man with two plates of snacks and a small pot of wine in front of him. Wasn't that Zong Bie?
Xiao Sheng would look into it because he was afraid that Yin Changxing would be angry.
Because Zong Bie, a drowned ghost, was actually sitting in this restaurant.
However, Zong Bie did not actually appear. The things on the table were left by a previous customer. Xiao Sheng specifically asked the waiter to leave them there for later.
After clearing the table, they would distribute the leftover wine to the staff when the restaurant closed.
Xiao Sheng planned to tell the other guys later that he would sell it to him this time.
They could buy it for a few coins.
But Yin Changxing didn't know any of this. Xiao Sheng was afraid that he would get angry if he saw this, thinking that Zong Bie didn't have the duty of a ghost and was acting recklessly.
"Master Yin, my godfather..."
Xiao Sheng came over, nervously about to explain, but Yin Changxing interrupted him, "I'm going to go talk to him. You go ahead with your work. Bring me a pot of wine and some snacks to go with it."
"Yes."
Although Xiao Sheng was uneasy, he didn't dare to ask too many questions and quickly led him to that table.
Seeing this, a waiter came over to clear the table and greet Yin Changxing, but Yin Changxing waved his hand and said, "That's fine, I'll have the waiter prepare it."
The waiter retreated, looking somewhat bewildered.
Are there guests who want to keep the leftovers from the guests who have already eaten and drunk at the table?
But since the guest was the most important person, he couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, Yin Changxing ordered something, otherwise the waiter might have thought he was there to steal the leftovers.
Zong Bie looked at Yin Changxing, who was sitting opposite her, with some surprise.
He tried to stand up and bow, but Yin Changxing pressed him down, saying, "Sit down."
Their table was in the very corner. There were several other tables occupied in the lobby, and everyone else was quite noisy, so no one paid attention to them.
After the food and wine were served, Yin Changxing took an incense stick, lit it, and waved it in front of Zong Bie, then waved it over the food and wine.
"have a drink?"
Zong Bie could only smell the wine; he couldn't drink it or eat it, but at least he could smell it.
Now that Yin Changxing had lit the incense, he suddenly felt that the aroma of the wine was much more authentic.
He reached out and picked up the wine glass, and indeed, he was able to touch it.
"You can drink it?" He was both surprised and delighted.
"Of course." Yin Changxing flicked a talisman beside him. "I used a little illusion. No one can see the wine glass suddenly fly up. Don't worry."
This is something that makes Zong Bie very happy.
He genuinely wanted to have a couple more drinks and some snacks to go with them.
"Then I'll accept it without hesitation, please."
Zong Bie held up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The spicy and mellow liquor took a while to swallow, and he almost coughed, but the feeling made him very happy. After coughing twice, he could smell the aroma of the liquor.
"very nice."
Yin Changxing also drank a cup and picked up a piece of snack with his chopsticks.
"There was a big commotion at the Royal Ancestral Temple today. Master Yin should be there, right?"
After drinking another cup of wine, Zong Bie took the initiative to speak, and the first thing he asked was about the ancestral temple.
Yin Changxing glanced at him. "You know?"
"To be honest, I heard that the Prince of Jin and his wife will be going to the ancestral temple today, as will the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince. So I went to take a look around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Emperor and the Crown Prince."
Zong Bie said, "When I saw their carriage pass by, I found that the imperial purple aura was too strong to approach, so I didn't follow. But after a while, I saw that the ancestral temple was shrouded in yin energy, and something was wrong, so I quickly retreated."
Hearing him say that, Yin Changxing raised an eyebrow.
"I thought you would say you'd go see if there's anything you can do to help."
Zong Bie waved his hand with a wry smile, "How could I possibly be capable? I know what level of cultivation you and Master Lu possess. If you two can't handle this, my presence would only cause you more trouble."
However, now that she knows everything is alright, Zong Bie didn't say anything.
In fact, he had been guarding the ancestral temple not far away. If something serious happened, he was prepared to rush in and see if he could rescue the two people without thinking twice.
He didn't leave until the gloom dissipated and the sunlight shone again, and then he came to this restaurant.
The smell of alcohol was a way to calm my nerves.
But since he couldn't help, Zong Bie felt there was no need to say anything.
"Tell me about Xiao Sheng's background," Yin Changxing suddenly asked.
Zong Bie was stunned.
"Don't tell me you found him, and don't tell me you don't know who he is," Yin Changxing said. "You used to know a discarded concubine in the Cold Palace, didn't you?"
He only noticed a familiar aura today when he went to the Cold Palace.
It was the scent emanating from a sachet in the room of a discarded concubine in the Cold Palace.
