Chapter 98 - 98"Alright then!" Xuan Li finally agreed.
Furthermore, before leaving, the Prince had also instructed him that the Princess Xi Ya was no longer in the palace, and the bookstore was right outside the gates of the palace.
This bookstore was rather large, and the people who came to buy books were usually literati. Very few women frequented this place.
When the boss saw Wei Yuanwei walking in, he kept praising him. When he looked at the other party"s appearance and clothes, he was sure that Wei Yuanwei was not an ordinary person.
Thus, the owner of the bookstore quickly went up to welcome him.
Before he could finish his sentence, Wei Yuanwei said, "I"ll take a look for myself, if there"s anything I need to say to you!"
Wei Yuanwei"s eyes swept across the rows and rows of bookshelves. The book that was placed in the most conspicuous place was definitely not what she was looking for.
Seeing that there was still one more floor upstairs, Wei Yuanwei lifted her skirt and walked up.
Although the boss did not recognize Wei Yuanwei, but with Xuan Li"s dressing, the boss quickly recognized him.
Isn"t that the people from the Evil King"s Mansion?
His face immediately contorted and his forehead began to drip with sweat.
"Tell the other customers to leave and then close the door. We, the princess, will take care of this bookstore!" Xuan Li held onto a silver ingot and placed it in the owner"s hand.
The owner nodded his head. There were not many customers in the store at this time, so the waiter closed the door.
Wei Yuanwei went up the stairs and carefully selected books from the shelves. There were many types of books, which dazzled Wei Yuanwei"s eyes.
But none of them were what Wei Yuanwei wanted.
"Miss, how could I possibly understand these books!" Yin Sheng casually flipped open a book.
Xuan Li stood at the side, on guard of his surroundings.
These books were all biographies, poems, and the like. Even the literal meaning of novels was difficult to understand.
Wei Yuanwei only came to the bookstore to find out what the symbols on the stone meant.
Wei Yuanwei squatted down and finally found a book that had symbols similar to the one carved on the stone in a dusty corner.
"Princess is interested in this book?" Xuan Li looked at the book in Wei Yuanwei"s hands and couldn"t help but frown.
"No, I"m just curious about what this book is!" Wei Yuanwei answered truthfully. Seeing Xuan Li"s appearance, he should know.
"These are the words written by the century-old family. This book is for those who wish to learn the century-old family"s script!" Xuan Li said as he looked at the book in Wei Yuanwei"s hands.
Everyone in the world knew of the existence of the Hundred Year Clan, so there were naturally many people who wanted to study the history of the clan. It wasn"t strange that a book with the family"s own name would be able to be bought in the outside world.
After all, this family had experienced hundreds of years, even longer than the history of the four countries. Therefore, this family was a very old and mysterious existence, and everyone wanted to know where this clan was hidden.
Nature wants to study their history as well.
"Will you?" Wei Yuanwei asked.
Xuan Li nodded: "Yes!"
Wei Yuanwei was pleasantly surprised, but what would Xuan Li do? She could not just show him the stone and let him tell her what was carved on it.
"Then teach me when you have time!" Wei Yuanwei said. She wanted to know what was written on the stone.
"Princess, why are you suddenly interested in this?" Xuan Li asked in confusion.
Generally speaking, people who studied this language would either be interested in the clan for a hundred years, or they would want to find out where the clan was.
He would, purely because he needed it.
"I just heard the prince tell me about the underworld clan, so I was interested!"
"Princess, Prince knows how to play too. You can ask him to teach you!" Xuan Li said.
He was also taught by the prince.
Yun Xie can even do this? Doesn"t that mean she had to hide the stone tightly and not let Yun Xie see it?
"Alright!" After Wei Yuanwei finished speaking, she handed the book in her hands to Yin Sheng, and then started to rummage through the bookshelves.
When he flipped open one of the books, Wei Yuanwei realized that there was a small note inside, written with various needles.
After Wei Yuanwei read the words, she immediately closed the book in her hand, and then looked up, looking for something in the rows of shelves.
"Princess, what"s wrong?" Yin Sheng followed Wei Yuanwei"s gaze and looked around.
Wei Yuanwei looked at the row of bookshelves next to an opened window and suddenly understood.
"It"s nothing!" A look of understanding flashed past Wei Yuanwei"s eyes.
He continued to rummage through the bookshelves.
When he returned to the Duke Palace, he coincidentally b.u.mped into the Princess Xi Ya.
Xuan Li, who was standing behind him, suddenly stood next to him with a face full of vigilance.
Wei Yuanwei stood quietly at the side, looking at Princess Xi Ya.
Princess Xi Ya swept her sinister gaze across Wei Yuanwei"s face a few times. The killing intent in her eyes was extremely obvious, but Princess Xi Ya didn"t make a move the entire time.
For a moment, the air was in a deadlock.
Seeing that Princess Xi Ya was not leaving, when she lifted the corner of her skirt and was about to step through the door, the Princess Xi Ya"s sinister voice came from beside Wei Yuanwei: "You dare to walk in front of me as a concubine? Don"t forget, this princess is a Chief Consort! "
Wei Yuanwei stopped in her tracks, and looked at the Princess Xi Ya. "I thought that the Princess liked the main entrance of the Duke Palaces and wanted to take a few more glances. She doesn"t plan to return to the Palace for a while.
His pair of sharp eyes were like daggers as they grazed Wei Yuanwei"s body. When he was about to pa.s.s Wei Yuanwei, the Princess Xi Ya said with incomparable arrogance: "Tonight, don"t wait for the Duke in his room. Tonight, Your Highness will rest in this princess" courtyard!"
If Yun Xie didn"t come to her courtyard, that was what she wished for!
Wei Yuanwei involuntarily tightened her grip on the slip of paper hidden within her sleeve. Heh, everything was actually under his control.
As Yin Sheng looked at Princess Xi Ya"s arrogant back, she secretly bit her teeth and said, "Hmph, it"s not known if the Prince will come or not, but she has no right to say it!"
Fortunately, Princess Xi Ya had already gone far away. If Princess Xi Ya could hear her words, she would definitely not let this matter rest.
"Yin Sheng, let"s go!" Wei Yuanwei glanced at Yin Sheng: "Just put whatever you have to say in your heart, don"t say it out loud!"
Yin Sheng knew that she had said the wrong thing and lowered her head. She silently followed beside Wei Yuanwei without saying a word.
If not for royal brother"s warning, how could she have let Wei Yuanwei pa.s.s by her so easily?
Hate, hateful! If it wasn"t for my royal brother wanting to spare your life, you would have already died in this princess" hands.
