Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ever since Gu Lingyue’s death, her master had disappeared without a trace, causing their investigation to be at a loss. The thirteenth princess might be their new breakthrough.
As Gu Qingxue thought of this, Lingbao also returned with the thirteenth princess.
Gu Qingxue immediately regained her gentle smile. “You guys must be tired after playing for so long. I’ve made thousand layer cake for you. Princess, do you want to have some?”
The thirteenth princess sniffed and nodded obediently.
Gu Qingxue asked Qin Yun to bring over some steaming thousand-layer cakes and milk tea so that the little cubs could drink tea and eat desserts.
The thirteenth princess and the four children ate the thousand-layer cake together and were instantly captivated by the sweet and soft texture. “It’s so delicious! ”
“Of course, the food our mother makes is the best.” Gu Lin liked it when people complimented his mother, and he had a proud expression on his face.
“Princess, you can eat more if you like.” Gu Qingxue pushed the plate of layered cake in the thirteenth princess’s direction, then asked, “Thirteenth Princess, I heard Lil t Han talk about that grandma. I wonder if you can tell me more about it?”
The thirteenth princess looked at the half-eaten thousand-layer cake in her hand, then looked at Gu Qingxue before finally speaking, “I’m not lying. I really heard Gu Lingyue talking to a grandma at that time. That grandma’s voice sounded very similar to the one I heard in the teahouse previously. However, when Gu Lingyue noticed me, I saw that she was the only one beside her, so I thought I heard wrong.
“Which teahouse did Princess go to and hear that grandma’s voice?” Gu Qingxue asked.
“Penglai Immortal Teahouse,” The thirteenth princess added.
Gu Qingxue had never heard of this place and could not help but frowvn.
“Miss, this servant has heard of this place. It is a teahouse where the Young Masters and Young Miss of rich families chat.” Qin Yun paused for a moment, then moved closer to Gu Qingxue’s ear and continued in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Also, the Penglai Immortal Teahouse doesn’t seem to have any connections with other forces, but in reality, the crown prince is the owner behind it.
“How did you know about this?” Gu Qingxue asked in a low voice.
Qin Yun said, “Eldest miss, you’ve forgotten that I’m from Imperial Duke
Zhan’s residence.” The crown prince has been trying to win over Young Master Liu Ye for a long time. Young Master Liu Ye has always been cautious and has his own intelligence network. Naturally, he was able to find out the relationship between the crown prince and the Penglai Immortal Teahouse.”
Gu Qingxue nodded when she thought about her adopted older brother’s cautious personality.
Just as she said this, Gu Qingxue saw the new butler of the prince regent’s residence, Uncle Song, quickly walk into the hall.
“Miss Gu, the crown prince’s trusted aide, Young Master Peng Zhou, is here. He said that he’s here with the thirteenth princess’s maidservant to bring the princess back to the palace,” Uncle Song said.
“Speak of the Devil. How could they leave without a cup of tea when the crown prince’s people came to visit? Go and invite Young Master pengzhou in.” Gu Qingxue sat firmly on the main seat, looking like the lady of the house.
Uncle Song took in this scene and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he felt that with Miss Gu here, it would be much easier to deal with the crown prince’s confidants. He quickly turned and left.
Very quickly, Uncle Song led Peng Zhou and Leng Shuang through the door.
Gu Qingxue looked at Peng Zhou. She could clearly feel that the aura around this man was extraordinary, especially when he did not make any sound of his footsteps as he walked. She could tell at a glance that he was definitely an expert with strong inner energy..
