99. [098] A chance encounter in the middle of the night

Xiao Yu immediately covered her mouth with her hands and said vaguely: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm sorry, I'm troublesome again." ”

Mu Chen raised his hand: "Kneel down." ”

This night, not only could she not eat, but she also couldn't sleep.

After thinking about it, she kept thinking about Xiaoyu's words, as well as the bits and pieces of her experience with Su Wuxian......

The picture of Su Wuxie entering the palace with soapberry for the first time, the picture of eating hot pot together and eating Su Wuxie's diarrhea, the picture of checking Yulujiao's women's clothes and Su Wuxian's hugging and hugging in the Qing-Lou, the picture of her kissing Su Wuxian after falling for Yulujiao, the picture of practicing swords with Su Wuxian in the palace, the picture of Su Wuxian trying her best to protect her when Hua Sisi discovered her identity, and the picture of her being injured in the broken temple......

These experiences continue to be screened in her mind.

At the thought of the lingering kiss of the broken temple, she couldn't help but touch her lips with her fingers.

Even if it was a person's space, her face was still flushed, and the corners of her mouth were hooked into a light smile.

The mood gradually changed from chagrin to joy.

The transformation was subtle, and she seemed to be aware of it herself.

She sat in front of the mirror and made up for herself casually, on weekdays she would always draw her eyebrows a little thicker to look more masculine and heroic, but tonight she somehow just wanted to wear no makeup for her own enjoyment.

She tied her hair in a bun and tied it in a very ordinary bun.

Take out the brocade box that Su Wuxian won by playing a game of fish in the bazaar that night and open it.

At that time, she didn't look too carefully, but now, she held a golden step in her hand and looked at it carefully.

The golden step shake is about two fingers long, the pattern of a dragon and a wind, the hairpin head hangs with a tassel, there is a small pendant at the end, the gold wire used in the whole double step shake is thinner than the hair, it can be seen that the handwork is not generally exquisite, the blue jade and jade inlaid on it, the luster is clear, such as gathering the essence of the sun and the moon, and it is more brilliant and flowing in the night.

This pair of step shakes was given by Su Wuxie, and he added a little more love.

The two golden steps are staggered and inserted into the bun, even if there are no other accessories, it is enough to evoke the beauty of the beauty.

It's a beautiful woman.

At least Mu Chen looked at himself in the mirror and praised him so much.

Women are pleasing to themselves, maybe that's what they say.

Mu Chen was shocked by his actions, as well as the mood of shallow love, this should be the love that the human world says, people can't eat, can't sleep, and always think of someone in their hearts, doing something they don't usually do.

She was indulging in her own world, when suddenly a dark shadow flashed outside the window, stimulating her sensitive nerves. People who practice martial arts, even if they want to get into their minds again, will retain a trace of vigilance.

She couldn't help but get up, casually took off the step on her head and put it on the table, and then looked out the window to find out.

My intuition was that the black shadow should be a human figure.

She peeked out of the window and looked around, but there was no sign of her, but she was sure that someone had just passed by, because the leaves of the trees would shake on their own on a windless night, and it must have been caused by someone passing by.

It was already the dead of night, and he was still walking the walls of the palace, and if he were not an assassin, this person must have done something that did not see the light.

With the faint picture just now, she followed in the direction of the dark shadow.

Crossing the high wall and walking lightly, she stood on the top of a certain palace and looked around, the imperial city had already entered a silent and cold night, and there was nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to go home, his sensitive ear heard a deep voice: "Master, the little one has already done what you have to do." ”

Judging by the sound, it should be the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Mu Chen continued to walk over there, and sure enough, he saw two figures standing by the pond in the Imperial Garden.

She hid behind a stone lion and peeked, and she saw the figures of two men, but due to the wrong direction, she only saw one back and one side.

The one who could only see the back, wearing a plain white robe, with a black cloak hanging on his left hand, should be a person of many statuses, and the other person was thinking about the white-robed man, dressed in black at night, masked, and standing in a respectful posture, it was estimated that he was the one who just called himself "small".

"When do you go?" The white-robed man's voice was cold, and Mu Chen felt as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Tomorrow is not the time."

"Okay, let's do it."

"Master, please forgive the little talk, raising money for disaster relief is the business of the imperial court, the master has always divided the affairs inside and outside the imperial court very clearly, why will he use private materials to help the imperial court solve its difficulties this time?"

"You don't need to know that, you just have to do your job." With that, the white-robed man raised his hand lightly.

The man in black walked away in a witty manner.

Mu Chen was not interested in that "small" one at all, she was just curious about who the "master" was, and there were only a handful of men with a little status in the palace.

But the "master" just didn't turn around, and he didn't leave.

Mu Chen guessed that he should be looking at the pond, but tonight there is no moon in the night sky, there are no waves on the water, and he doesn't sleep at night, so what's there to see here?

She was more curious, and her heart was more anxious.

I only heard the white-robed man suddenly throw out a cold sentence: "Since you're here, why don't you come out and meet you?" ”

He only speaks, and his body does not move.

Oops, Mu Chen knew that he had been discovered, but he had just been too careless, and he ignored the hidden snort in a moment's anxiety.

But she asked herself that even if she relaxed her snort and breathing, she would not be so easy to be discovered, and it was conceivable that this white-robed man was by no means an idle person.

It's good to be discovered, so show up generously, go out to see which royal relative this person is, anyway, this is the imperial palace garden, he can come, she can also come.

Mu Chen coughed twice, straightened his waist, and swaggered over to the pond.

Just as the other party also turned around, the two came to take a look.

At first glance, it turned out to be the second prince Zixi, and Mu Chen was stunned.

No wonder Fang felt familiar when he heard that cold voice.

It's just that this second prince Zixi is not simple, from the conversation between him and that "small" just now, Mu Chen can vaguely hear that the second prince Zixi should have a force outside the court, and it should not be underestimated, otherwise how can he be the master, and he can also command others to raise disaster relief funds.

Moreover, raising money is not a thing that is not unpopular, if he lets his father and ministers know that he is so enthusiastic about raising money for the disaster area, it will definitely enhance his status in the heart of the court and his father.

Why hide such a beneficial and harmless thing?

At such a young age, what secrets are hidden?

Mu Chen's appearance didn't seem to make the second prince Zixi's mind wave, he was still expressionless, and Mu Chen couldn't see through this person at all.

On the contrary, Mu Chen kept frowning, and the second prince Zixi saw through her thoughts at a glance.

His thin lips opened lightly, and his voice was still indifferent: "I opened a cloth village in the capital, this time the southern towns were flooded, the treasury was empty, and the people suffered, so I asked the cloth village to sell a batch of newly made cloth to Xilang country, in exchange for silver taels, in the name of the cloth village, to solve the urgent needs of the disaster area." These fathers and concubines don't know, including me who opened a cloth village in private, and I don't want them to know. ”

It is understandable to open a cloth village in private and make some extra money by yourself, and you don't want the court to know.

Selling cloth to make money, used for disaster relief, I don't want to make it public, I do it in private, it sounds great, but this is just his words, the truth is still up for debate, besides, ......

"Why are you telling me?" Mu Chen felt that although they were "brother" brothers, their relationship was not necessarily close, why would he confess everything to himself?

The second prince was a little stunned, and it was rare that a pair of deep eyes without waves would flash a trace of doubt, but soon, he returned to normal: "It's rare for us to meet, can you not ask some questions that I can't answer?" ”

Is this question hard to answer? That's skip it.

Mu Chen was still more interested in his private affairs: "Then is your cloth made of gold and silver thread, or is it embroidered with precious stones?" Can you sell it for 100,000 taels of silver at once? ”

How much can some rags be sold for, even if they are sold more, they can only make up the tip of the iceberg, although money is such a thing, the more the merrier, and the less is also the intention, but Mu Chen is really curious about how much profit the second prince Zixi's cloth selling action can have.

"The cloth village has been open for a while, for various reasons, some cloth is not very popular in the capital, so it has hoarded a large batch of inventory, and as far as I know, the cloth industry in Xilang is not developed, so I have contacted the buyers of Xilang and sold it for 50,000 taels, although it is only half of the amount of disaster relief, but it is better than not having a penny."

Although the words of the second prince Zixi were still not a little wavering, Mu Chen had already seen that he was a smart person.

If he is telling the truth, then he is also quite good at calculating, firstly, he can clear the unsellable inventory, vacate the warehouse to facilitate the storage of new goods, and secondly, he can earn Xilang's money to help his country.

From a business point of view, he has nothing to lose.

There is no need for smart people to make up a lie to show off how smart they are, so what he says should be true.

Well? He said where did he get the cloth? Xilang?

Maybe I can ask him to help, but everyone wants to contribute to disaster relief anyway.

The corners of Mu Chen's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he was a little cunning in surprise: "Second prince, brothers, how about I want to ask you for a favor?" ”

"Say."

"It just so happens that I have also collected precious famous products worth more than 100,000 taels of silver in all parties, and I just want to donate them to raise money for disaster relief, and then I want to transport them to Xilang to sell, and the most fortunate thing is that your cloth is going to be shipped to Xilang, so it is better to give a convenience, help me transport the treasures over and sell them by the way, anyway, it's just a box, not much." Mu Chen's eyes were full of anticipation.

"The charity sale can be in the capital, why should it be sold to Xilang?" The second prince Zixi's question made Mu Chen dumb.

Mu Chen frowned, he couldn't tell him that these treasures were stolen in the capital.

"Haha......" Mu Chen reluctantly laughed twice, "Xilang is not as rich in material as the capital, so it should be able to sell for a better price over there, and besides, wouldn't it make more sense to earn money from other countries for disaster relief?" ”
