Chapter 181: The Prince's Conspiracy
Yan Marer, I'm afraid this is not very good, after all, the customer he ......"
"Don't worry so much, there are so many empty seats on the second floor, let's just pick the one farthest away from them."
So in the end, the two of them went to the second floor, this Baiwei restaurant is a hollow design, take the second floor of the elegant seat as an example, the corridor is surrounded by a circle around the wall, and the middle is empty, that is, lying on the corridor fence, you can clearly see the downstairs scene.
There are a total of 20 private rooms upstairs, scattered seats downstairs, and a stage in the center.
In the southernmost seat on the second floor, looking at the various dishes on the table and smelling the aroma of fragrant and attractive food, Chi Wan, who had not eaten well for many days, swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, and her stomach gurgled.
"Sister Wan'er doesn't have to be polite, feel free to eat." Yan Mar pushed all the good dishes to Chi Wan and introduced them to her one by one.
"This Hongzi shredded chicken cucumber is made of Shangcheng's Fengjiaowo chicken breast, which is made with special delicious seasonings, which is cool and appetizing."
"This dish is called anchovy shark fin, respectively, the chicken breast meat, pork fat meat to remove the tendons, pounded into mushroom, and then add fresh shark fin to make it, the soup is delicious and rich, this is a royal dish, but also one of the treasures of our town store here!"
"There is also this Longjing bamboo soup, which is also used in West Lake Longjing, adding yutake mushrooms, peas, and minced ham, which is light and delicious, and a bowl after a meal can even nourish the skin."
Yan Mar here is still gushing about it, and Chi Wan has already eaten unceremoniously over there. Yan Marer Cheng did not deceive her, this meat quality, this taste, as soon as you eat it, it is different from eating outside, it is really delicious.
After a full meal, I only heard the clanging sound of gongs, drums, strings and pianos downstairs, and Hua Dan babbling her voice, Yan Marton suddenly cheered up and said happily: "I almost forgot, I ordered a play to watch today, let's go Chi Wan, let's go down to listen to the play together." ”
Chi Wan couldn't walk for a while because she was too full, and she said to Yan Mar, "You go first, I'll sit here for a while." ”
"I usually like to listen to operas in my hometown, but I haven't had much opportunity, I have long heard that there are many famous opera troupes in the capital, today I specially invited a team, it would be a pity not to listen, then I will go down first."
After that, Yan Mar ran downstairs with a smoke, and it seemed that she really liked to listen to the play. Chi Wan took a break, and vaguely heard Zhenghuan singing outside, but she was also interested, and wanted to go out and take two steps as a way to eliminate food.
She walked out of the private room and looked down by the railing, downstairs was performing an excerpt of the play "The Drunken Concubine", that Hua Daner brushed her sleeves to drink, and her confused footsteps looked drunk, but she was shocking, and the listeners downstairs applauded.
The sound heard upstairs was very soft, and it was still necessary to go downstairs to hear it clearly, Ji Wan walked around the corridor and was about to go down the stairs, but she heard such a conversation coming from a private room.
"The king of Chu is now expanding his power so wantonly, but we can't attack him, and now my father is reusing him, if it continues like this, I'm afraid half of the court will be his people!"
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must know that since you are the crown prince now, then the King of Chu will never be able to sit on this dragon chair, no matter how many supporters he has, it is useless. You just need to protect the crown prince, and there will be no trouble. ”
"According to what you mean, it doesn't matter how the King of Chu is, do you want to be to the emperor?"
"That's right, only the emperor can designate which prince he will pass this position to next, as long as the emperor doesn't speak, what can the king of Chu do? To put it more clearly, as long as the emperor dies and the position of the crown prince is confirmed. ”
"But what are we going to do to the Emperor? Not to mention that there are so many guards around him, we can't get close at all, and if he dies suddenly, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to track him down. ”
"You fool, don't you just attack the emperor in an imperceptible way, so that you can hide from the sky and the sea without intuition, so that everyone will think that the old emperor's body is not good and he is dying, and naturally no one will doubt it."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I happen to have a pair of potions here for the emperor to use, this medicine can make people age quickly, and ordinary imperial doctors can't find out the reason at all. At that time, His Royal Highness only needs to put someone next to the emperor to drug the meal, as long as it is not more than 20 days, the emperor's life will be completely lost. ”
"This is a wonderful plan, when it is done, I will definitely reward you, come, drink!"
In the seat, the prince and his three henchmen talked very happily, they had already worked out a way to deal with the king of Chu, the prince who was blinded by the power did not care about thirty-seven twenty-one, in his eyes now there is only the throne, he must desperately defend it.
As for Chi Wan, she has been lying in the corridor, since she heard the words prince, emperor, and king of Chu just now, she felt that something was wrong, so she kept lying on the railing of the corridor and pretending to watch the play, in fact, she was eavesdropping on which people were saying something.
However, the singing downstairs was too noisy, and Chi Wan only listened vaguely, and she didn't know. However, looking at what they meant, it seems that they are targeting the emperor and the king of Chu, and even want to do it, as for the reason, it is not clear.
At this time, I only felt a slight vibration on the wooden floor, and it didn't look like they were going to come out, so Chi Wan hurriedly turned around and trotted away. The prince lifted the curtain and saw a woman's figure running down the stairs quickly.
Seeing someone on the second floor, the henchmen immediately became angry: "What's the matter, didn't you say that we have chartered all the private rooms and no one is allowed to come up?" ”
The voice of the henchman was very loud, which attracted the attention of many people for a while, and the prince raised his hand and signaled him not to say anything, so as not to cause trouble and finally find out the identity of the prince.
"A few guest officers are really sorry, it was because we were negligent that the man would run up, why don't we take your money for this meal, and ask the guest officer to forgive us generously."
The deputy shopkeeper has been there to apologize to the prince, this new shopkeeper doesn't understand anything, and as the deputy shopkeeper, he naturally doesn't want to watch this shop that has been open for so long close like this.
The prince in purple in front of him had a solemn face, even though the deputy shopkeeper said so, he still grinded out the silver ticket from his pocket and gave it to him: "No need, I just didn't expect such a mistake in Baiwei Restaurant, and I won't come again in the future." With that, he took his men and left.
Walking on the way back to the palace, the prince recalled the scene he saw, and the figure was very familiar, as if it was someone he had seen.
The prince searched in his mind to no avail, and then simply ordered the people around him: "You go and investigate for me now, who else has been here since we entered the restaurant, and then find out the identity of that woman for me!" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" After the henchmen got the order, they ran back to the Baiwei Pavilion to investigate, and the other two henchmen said: "Your Highness, I don't know if that woman heard what we said, if she did, this ......"
"Shut up!" The prince was so annoyed that he was so frightened that the henchman obediently closed his mouth and stopped talking.
was silent all the way, and after returning to the palace, the henchmen sent by the prince to investigate came back with the results they had obtained.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I found out that there were only two women who went to the private seat on the second floor that day, one is the shopkeeper of the current shop, and the beauty sent by the enemy country - Yan Mar."
"Yan Mar? How did she start a shop? This prince didn't care, but he compared the back and Yan Mar's posture a little, and immediately denied that it was not her.
"Who else is it?"
"It's Mu Zhufeng's ex-wife - Chi Wan."
"Chi Wan, ah......" The prince has seen Chi Wan, although he is not impressed, but the back is very similar to her, the body is slender but the person is very thin, it seems that the figure seems to be Mu Zhufeng's ex-wife Chi Wan.
The prince had heard that Chi Wan had opened a shop on this long street before, and it seemed that it was not a very strange thing to appear here.
"Your Highness, if it's really that Chi Wan, I'm afraid it's ......," the henchman said, "Although she has no contact with Mu Zhufeng, I heard that she had a good relationship with General Xie Yutang Xie before, and you must know that General Xie is the person of the King of Chu." ”
"I also went to find out the bottom of Chi Wan, she has been living in Chi Fu since she was divorced by Mu Zhufeng, and she also opened a tailor shop called Fenghetang. And that afternoon, someone witnessed Xie Yutang go to that Chi Wan's shop and stay for a while before leaving. ”
"I know what you mean, you go down first." The prince's eyes were very deep, and he pondered for a while before waving his hand to dismiss his henchmen.
After the henchman left, the prince paced back and forth in the room restlessly, so did Chi Wan really hear all the conversations? Was it unintentional or did someone deliberately arrange for her to spy on herself?
The prince really didn't know what the facts were, but even if it was just in case, Chi Wan couldn't keep it.
He summoned his personal attendant and whispered a few words to him, and after receiving the order, the attendant withdrew, and after a while a man dressed in black entered.
His body is a full circle larger than the crown prince, and he looks very strong. When he saw the crown prince, he immediately knelt down and saluted and said, "See His Royal Highness the prince, what does His Highness command?" ”
The prince turned to look at him and said, "Go, kill that person named Chi Wan, this king will kill her now!" ”
