The disabled king and medical concubine are pampered

Seeing that five days had passed, and there were only three days left before the agreed time, and Gu Yuan hadn't moved a bit, Xiao Chiyu called Lian Zhao.

"What has the princess been doing these days?"

Lian Zhao bowed his head and cupped his hands: "The lord ordered before not to monitor the wangfei's every move, so the subordinates don't know."

"Huh?" Xiao Chiyu looked at him coolly.

Feeling the chill coming to his face, Lian Zhao shuddered in his heart, and immediately said: "Although my subordinates didn't send anyone to monitor, they still paid attention to it. The princess seems to have people moving big boxes from her courtyard these days. Go out, don't know what you're busy with."

"big box?"

"Yes, I move two big boxes out of the house every morning, and bring the big boxes back in the evening. Because the prince ordered that no one should be sent to follow, so the subordinates don't know where the princess has gone."

Xiao Chiyu looked sideways, Gu Yuan didn't think about how to insert his people into Xu Guogong's mansion, but was busy with the box every day, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

Out of curiosity, he changed his clothes and mask early the next morning, and came to Feihe Tower from the secret passage in the room.

Then he walked slowly from Feihe Tower to the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, waiting for Gu Yuan to go out.

While sitting in the teahouse waiting, the shopkeeper brought up a pot of fresh lychees, and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, this is a new lychee that arrived yesterday in our store. It is very fresh. Would you like to buy some to try?"

Xiao Chiyu turned his head to look, with surprise in his eyes.

Although the State of Yu is large, its area is relatively north-central. Lychees are abundant in Nanqi, and there are only a few areas on the border between the State of Yu and Nanqi.

If it is to be transported to Kyoto, it will take four or five days to rush.

When lychees are in abundance every year, except for the royal family in Kyoto who can have some relatively fresh tributes, other dignitaries who want to try something new have to spend a lot of money to buy it.

For ordinary people, lychees are delicacies that they will never be able to taste in their entire lives.

Later, some people also wanted to plant lychee trees near Kyoto, but the results were very disappointing. Basically, the fruits produced were small and astringent, difficult to eat, and some even had no fruit at all.

Therefore, although lychee is juicy and delicious, it is rarely seen in Kyoto.

But the lychees in front of me are big, plump and brightly colored, as if they have just been picked.

Even Xiao Chiyu, who has seen all kinds of big scenes, couldn't help but lose control of his expression when he saw what was in front of him.

The shopkeeper seemed to be used to his reaction, and said with a smile: "Guest, you probably haven't eaten lychees this year. All the customers who come to me these days have this expression."

After a pause, he continued, "These are indeed the first batch from Kyoto, and they were sent from the south in a hurry. But don't worry, my lychees are fresh, but they are much cheaper than those sold to those dignitaries. They only cost ten taels With a plate of silver, guest officials can buy it and try something new."

He also saw that Fang Yu's clothes were low-key, but the fabric was made of expensive brocade, so he dared to come over to sell them.

Xiao Chiyu glanced at the plate in his hand, there were at least 30 pieces on this plate, if it was normal, one or two would cost at least [-] taels.

And it's not silver, it's 30 taels of gold.

After all, it has to be transported from such a far place, and to maintain this freshness, at least two horses have to be run to death, and all kinds of manpower and material resources are all spent in money.

He took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and said, "Okay, I want it."

The shopkeeper smiled happily, immediately put down the plate and put the money in his arms, and asked someone to make another cup of good tea by the way.

Xiao Chiyu looked at Ren Ziang at the side: "Peel it off."

Ren Ziang has never seen a lychee at such a young age, so he picked one up curiously and put it in front of his eyes.

"It turns out that a golden lychee in those people's mouths looks like this, and the shell is pitted, and it doesn't look very delicious..."

"I didn't let you eat it, peel it off for me."

"Yes."

Ren Ziang didn't know where to peel it off, but his fingernails scratched the outer shell, revealing the bright and tender flesh inside.

His eyes lit up: "It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's fine inside."

The lychee juice spread to his hands, and he couldn't help but put it in his mouth to choke.

"Wow, this juice is so sweet!" The voice was full of surprises.

Xiao Chiyu gave him a disgusted look: "This one is for you to eat, wash your hands after eating, and then peel it off for me."

"Good master!"

Ren Ziang happily put one into his mouth, and after biting, the fresh juice immediately filled his entire mouth.

It's sweet and delicious. He can guarantee that he has never eaten such a delicious fruit in his life.

While eating and thinking, I don't know which supernatural person is able to transport the lychees in such a short period of time.

After washing his hands, he started peeling the shell again, but he couldn't help but slur first every time.

It wasn't until he ate the eighth one that Xiao Chiyu's cool gaze swept over him that he honestly peeled one and put it in a bowl on the table.

"Master, please."

Not long after, as Lian Zhao said, Gu Yuan had someone carry two large boxes into the carriage.

Xiao Chiyu immediately stood up and followed.

Ren Ziang hurriedly packed the lychees, such good things can't be left here, they have to be taken away.

In the end, seeing Gu Yuan enter a yard in the suburbs, she carried all two large boxes in.

When they came out again, they were replaced by four or five old men carrying burdens.

Seeing this, Ren Ziang peeled a lychee into his mouth: "Master, the behavior of their group is very strange, as if they are hiding something."

Xiao Chiyu also found it strange, and couldn't imagine what Gu Yuan meant by this move.

Hearing that the bamboo garden is only that big, what's in it can be seen at a glance, he can't guess exactly what's in those two big boxes.

And he didn't even know what these old men were picking up from their burdens.

After waiting for a long time, finally seeing Gu Yuan coming out, Xiao Chiyu followed him again.

Ren Ziang couldn't help asking: "Master, what are we doing with the people in Prince Yi's mansion, do you really have something to do with that Prince Yi?"

Xiao Chiyu glanced back at him: "Be smart when you go out, don't just talk."

Ren Ziang, who had just spit out a lychee core, quietly touched the lychees in his pocket, and there were only a few left. Does the master dislike him for eating too much?

For the rest of the time, Gu Yuan wandered the streets, went to Zuixianlou for dinner, and sat in a teahouse.

In the afternoon, I went to Xu Xiaoqiao's place and came out of the courtyard with her.

"Miss Xu? Isn't this Miss Xu? Why does she know people from Prince Yi's mansion?"

Xiao Chiyu also felt that there was something wrong with the fact that Gu Yuan and Xu Xiaoqiao were getting close, but when he talked about it carefully, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

On the street, two figures strolled unhurriedly.

"Sister Gu, everything you ordered me has been done."

Gu Yuan nodded: "Well, thank you for your hard work. Let's go and see the jewelry."

Seeing Xu Xiaoqiao's puzzled face, she smiled: "Recently, I have earned a little money, and my hands are itchy and I want to spend some."

Therefore, the two big men, Xiao Chiyu and Ren Ziang, waited outside the jewelry shop for two hours before the two women returned with a full load.
