Chapter 322: The Gentleman on the Wall
Although the building in front of him is extraordinary compared to the surrounding low houses, it is still much inferior to the mansions of many ministers and nobles in the capital, and it is not even as magnificent as some marquis mansions in Nandu.
"Well," Ning Zu'er replied with a slight bow: "This is the palace, and I just came out of this main gate." ”
Yang Muyun looked at it, and there was a black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate nailed with large copper nails at the mouth of the bowl, and three gilded characters 'Wangfu' were engraved on it.
"I didn't expect the prince's mansion to be so low-key." Yang Muyun smiled.
"The Ming ancestral system, once the prince becomes an adult, he will be sealed to other places," Ning Zuer said with a smile: "As a temporary residence in Beijing, it is normal to keep a low profile." ”
"But this prince is twenty years old and still stays in Beijing, which makes people feel very strange." Yang Muyun gently touched his chin.
"Brother Yang has to ask the emperor about this, if he forgot about the prince's feudal domain." Ning Zuer looked at him and smiled.
"Is it possible for a little man like me to keep his beak at will?" Yang Muyun smiled and stepped forward to knock on the door.
With a "creak", a crack opened in the vermilion lacquer copper nail door.
"May I ask who you are......" An old face with a white beard and white eyebrows appeared in the crack of the door, looking at Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer suspiciously.
"Old man......" Ning Zuer stepped forward and arched his hand, "I just came, don't you recognize it?" ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Ning Gongzi," the crack in the door opened a little wider, revealing an old man in a kudzu cloth robe, "Ning Gongzi came back this time, what's the matter?" ”
"I want to see the prince with this Yang guard in the palace, and I ask the old man to make it convenient." Ning Zuer glanced at Yang Muyun and said.
"Well," the old man looked at him, and then at Yang Muyun, and didn't mean to go in to report, "Ning Gongzi, I won't tell you, the prince is not in the mansion now." ”
"Not in the house? So where did the prince go? Yang Muyun asked.
"The prince sent Miss Yunxi out."
"Miss Liu is gone too?" Ning Zuer was surprised, "I saw her talking to the prince very happily, why did she leave so quickly?" ”
"I don't know about this old man," said the old man, rubbing his beard, "Miss Liu rarely comes here, and even if she does, she never comes for more than an hour. No, Ning Gongzi, as soon as you left on the front foot, she asked the prince to resign, even if our prince was reluctant, it was inconvenient to stay, so he sent Miss Liu back, and she hasn't come back yet, or the two of you will wait here for a while? The prince is not here, and I don't dare to invite the two of you to sit inside......"
"Thank you, old man," Ning Zuer gave another salute and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't know when he will be back, so we won't bother here." ”
"What did Ning Gongzi say?" The old man seemed to be a little angry, and his voice was raised, "Our prince never spends the night outside, and when he comes back before dark, he will never let the two of you wait here in vain." ”
"Hmm...... That's the case, then I'll discuss it with this Brother Yang. Ning Zuer said and turned her face to look at Yang Muyun.
......
"It seems that the relationship between Wang and Liu Yunxi is not as ambiguous as you think." The two said that there was something wrong, and said goodbye to the old man who was guarding the door of the palace, and after walking away, Yang Muyun said to Ning Zuer.
"It's a pity that the ministers in the court don't have the idea of a gentleman like us," Ning Zu'er looked ahead, and said thoughtfully: "It's just a dusty courtesan, and the king did not hesitate to deign to send her out of the house, which shows that he is deeply infatuated with her." This will fall in the eyes of those who rectify the wind and the imperial history, and the impeachment recitals will be placed on the emperor's dragon case, plus the emperor's abduction and assassination are related to this Liu Yunxi......"
"Doesn't this just give you the opportunity to fabricate accusations?" Yang Muyun intercepted his words and said.
"Aren't you also a brocade guard?" Ning Zu'er glanced at him, "Although you are a five-rank guard with a knife in the palace, you still have the name of a thousand households in Beizhen Fusi!" Even Yu Lu is also a brocade guard, and he commands the envoy to send it to you. ”
"This is troublesome," Yang Muyun met his gaze and said, "This prince's handle is now in the hands of our two brocade guards, what do you think we should do with him?" ”
"You don't have to tempt me,
Ning Zu'er chuckled, "If I have the heart to get along with this prince, I don't need to come forward in person, I just need to reveal what I know to Master Ma, and the people who command the envoys can go straight to the palace to get people now." ”
"It seems that you are also a soft-hearted person," Yang Muyun sighed leisurely, "It is indeed a difficult thing to arrest Liu Yunxi without involving the prince." ”
"So this matter must be cautious," Ning Zu'er said, "It's better to keep a close watch on Liu Yunxi for the time being." ”
"Monitor, how to monitor?" Yang Muyun's eyes turned, and he suddenly saw Ning Zuer's face become solemn, "It's not good, maybe she has left the capital now!" ”
Yang Muyun was also shocked in his heart, "Without further ado, let's hurry to Qingyun Pavilion now." ”
......
Qingyun Pavilion is located in Cuiliu Hutong of Mingyufang, and people who came here did not expect that this was actually a brothel of Qinglou on the same level as the leader Luo Yuan on the Fengyue Field. From the outside, it is nowhere near as imposing as Luoyuan, and even less than some other fireworks venues. But this still attracts many people with status and status to come here to see the first beauty in the capital.
A young man in scarlet clothes, about twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome god, walked out of the gate of Qingyun Pavilion, looked back reluctantly, and walked towards the outside of the alley.
"It's the prince," Yang Muyun's eyes lit up when he was hiding in the shadows, "This shows that Liu Yun regrets that she hasn't left the capital, and she is still in this Qingyun Pavilion," glanced at Ning Zu'er beside her, "Shall we go over now?" ”
"Wait first, wait for the prince to go away," Ning Zu'er said, "And we must not let the prince know about the matter of us looking for Liu Yunxi alone." ”
......
The layout of the Qingyun Pavilion is elegant, compared with the magnificence of the Luo Courtyard, the carved beams and paintings of the Zhu Yan Deep Courtyard is different, there is a quiet and elegant style here. And the girl here does not have a very heavy atmosphere of wind and dust, unlike some vulgar Goolan courtyards, where the guests pull and pull before they enter the door, and they are coquettish.
"Please ask Mu Gongzi and An Gongzi to do a little here, and the slave family will invite Liang's mother to come over." A girl with a slightly shy face led Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer to the welcome hall in the lobby and sat down, bowed and went down. Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer did not report their real names, Yang Muyun claimed to be surnamed Mu, and Ning Zuer claimed to be surnamed An.
A middle-aged woman about forty years old came to the two of them with her clothes fluttering lightly. Her two pairs of water-like phoenix eyes turned slightly on the two of them, "Mu Gongzi, An Gongzi," her body was slightly owed, her face smiled before she spoke, and her red lips opened lightly: "The two sons are here for the first time, I don't know what kind of girl you like, you can tell the old body first, and then according to the two sons, please come out and let you meet the girls who meet the hearts of the two sons." Speaking generously and softly, he is more stable and noble than Mother Yao in Luoyuan.
"It seems that this is what the girl said about Mother Liang," Yang Muyun couldn't help but secretly marvel in her heart, this Mother Liang did not have the charm of an ordinary brothel boss, she looked graceful and spoke decently, more like a noble lady of an official eunuch's family. He squinted at Ning Zu'er, and then turned to Mother Liang and said, "Mother Liang said so, then this Gongzi An and I want to meet Miss Liu Yunxi, can we also invite her out to see her?" ”
"Are the two sons also here to find Miss Liu?" Liang's mother smiled lightly: "Miss Liu is easy to not see guests, and Mu Gongzi's words are inevitably too light." ”
"Is Miss Liu's demeanor very high," Yang Muyun smiled faintly, "As long as you can see Miss Liu, this money is not a problem, as long as Mother Liang says a number, Gongzi and I will give it with both hands." ”
"It's not a matter of money," a wise smile appeared on the corner of Liang's mother's mouth, "This person has met and known each other, and then to acquaintance, relying on fate." When this fate arrives, it is difficult to think of it, if the fate is not reached, no matter how you force it, you can't force it. ”
"What does Mother Liang mean that I and this Mu Gongzi don't have the fate to meet Miss Liu?" Ning Zu'er raised her eyebrows and said.
The fan in Liang's mother's hand was gently hidden on her red lips, and her eyes narrowed slightly, "It's not that the old man deliberately embarrassed the two sons, but Miss Liu, she is not in the hall now, even if the two sons move a mountain of gold and silver, how can they meet each other?" ”
"So coincidentally?" Yang Muyun smiled: "But I heard that someone saw Miss Liu being sent back....
..” Hearing only a cough, Sheng Sheng interrupted his words, he looked sideways, and saw Ning Zuer picking up the tea cup and making a look at himself by drinking tea.
"That person must have been joking with Mu Gongzi," Liang's mother looked straight, "If Miss Liu comes back, how can the old body not know the reason?" Seeing that the two of them were no longer speechless, they said softly or hardly: "If the two of you insist on seeing Miss Liu, then come back another day!" He turned around slightly and said, "Xiaocui, send off!" There was no intention of retaining, not at all like the old bustard in other yards, if he couldn't see the girl he wanted to see, he tried his best to introduce another girl to the guest.
"Two sons, please," the girl with a slightly shy face walked out and bowed to them, and walked out.
......
"It makes no sense for people to deliberately say they are not there, even though they are clearly in it." As soon as he came out of the door of the Qingyun Pavilion, Yang Muyun said angrily.
"This shows that they already know the true identities of you and me, and they deliberately hide from them." Ning Zuer said on the side.
"If you can't see her, where can you find the antidote to the poison of the carrot?" Yang Muyun was restless in his heart, "The emperor may still be in the Tai Hospital now, how can I go back to my life?" ”
"It's useless for you to be anxious," Ning Zuer comforted: "People insist on refusing to meet, if we use force, even if we can bring someone to break in and catch her, she swears to death and refuses to hand over Junxincao, you and I have no way to take her." ”
"So, I can only watch Shakya Gyaltsen National Teacher die?" Yang Muyun frowned.
"As long as Brother Yang does his best, why should he be ashamed in his heart?" Ning Zu'er reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Besides, that national teacher has intentions for your wife, if you save him, he will have to entangle Zisu again." ”
"Ning Gongzi's words are different," Yang Muyun turned to him and said with a straight face: "Even if there is no emperor's order, I will do my best to find an antidote to treat him." If he hadn't blocked a sword for Shisu, it would be Shisu who would be in danger now. This is what my husband and wife owe him, and I must pay it back. Zi Su loves to be petty with me, but she is really sincere to me, otherwise she would not have gone deep into the danger and helped me rescue the emperor. She and the national teacher are just general friends, not like you think. ”
"Brother Yang Gaoyi," Ning Zuer's face was solemn, "Listening to your words, it seems that I am small, ashamed, ashamed!" ”
"Don't just say it's ashamed," Yang Muyun's face was a little anxious, "Ning Gongzi, in terms of martial arts and resourcefulness, you are above me, you can help me think of a way, how can I meet this Liu Yunxi?" ”
"How?" Ning Zu'er pondered for a moment and looked at him and said, "Didn't your wife know her?" If Shiso comes forward and leads you and me to meet her, what do you think? ”
"How do you get it? Are you still pretending to be the maid next to Shiso? Yang Muyun stared at him and said.
"Brother Yang is very handsome, how can you let me go beyond my position this time?" Ning Zuer's face turned red.
"No, no," Yang Muyun shook his head, "This is a man's business, where can he let his wife come forward in everything, this time he can't let Zisu put himself in danger again." ”
"So what do you say? I couldn't have a better way here. Ning Zuer spread her hands and said helplessly.
"Let me think again......"
The two of them had walked along the wall unconsciously, and suddenly Yang Muyun's body shook slightly, and he paused and stood there in a daze.
"Brother Yang, ...... you" Ning Zuer had just opened his mouth when he felt a faint piano sound enter his ears.
Yang Muyun listened for a moment, then looked up at the wall beside him, the wall was five or six feet high, and the faint sound of the piano came from the inside of the wall.
"Ning Gongzi," Yang Muyun reached out and stroked the mottled wall, "You said that you and I can jump on this wall?" ”
"I'm fine, I'm afraid that Brother Yang will make it more difficult for you," Ning Zuer's eyes flashed, "Could it be that Brother Yang wants to be a gentleman on this wall and secretly visit this Qingyun Pavilion?" ”
"If you can't make it clear, you can only give her the dark one," Yang Muyun patted lightly on the wall and turned to Ning Zu'er, "Don't underestimate people, you and I will compare each other, see who jumps on the wall first?" ”
