Rong Xiang couldn't bear it in her heart, and interjected: "The girl also wants to help the prince, why does the prince treat the girl so coldly!" ”

Gongliang Yuzhi stood up and said sarcastically: "Whether it is to help the king or herself, the girl knows best in her heart." This king still has something to do, girl, please go back! ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Ye Xuemei's eyes, "Three days later, I will send the drawings of the Sancai Array to the prince according to the agreement, whether to use it or not, the prince decides for himself!" ”

It wasn't until Ye Xuemei walked away that Gongliang let go of her clenched hands, and a few red nail marks had already been left on the palms.

Ye Xuemei, what I promised you, I will definitely do it, and I will not fail the agreement between you and me!

After Ye Xuemei stepped out of the mansion, a figure hidden in the shadows quietly left......

Ah Hongmai hurriedly returned to the east courtyard, and just stepped into the flower hall, Shi Fenglan, who was waiting inside, couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the prince, are you here?" ”

Ah Hong bowed, lowered his eyes and said, "Back to the princess's words, the prince said that he ...... There are still many official duties that have not been read, so let you eat first, do not have to wait for him, and then accompany you to eat when you are free in a few days. ”

Shi Fenglan's face turned pale, "Did he go to the West Courtyard again?" ”

Ah Hong's eyes trembled, and then he smiled: "How come, princess, don't think about it." Before the words fell, he saw Shi Fenglan walking out, and Haitang couldn't stop him, and said eagerly: "Princess, where are you going?" It's raining outside. ”

Shi Fenglan pushed her away, "Since you are all hiding it from me, then I have to go to the Southern Courtyard to ask the prince by myself!" ”

"Don't go, princess!" Ah Hong also stepped forward to stop her, "When the slave maid went, Camellia also happened to come to invite the prince, and the prince ...... I went to Concubine Liu! ”

"Gao Xueliu!" Shi Fenglan said these three words with a pale face, since she stepped into Ning Wang's Mansion, this slut has been fighting with her, and she doesn't want to step on her head all the time, it's really hateful!

Haitang also comforted on the side: "The princess is angry, the prince was just deceived by Concubine Liu for a while, and in time, he will understand that the princess is the one who is worthy of his sincere treatment." ”

Shi Fenglan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm afraid that the prince will be stunned by her, and he won't be able to distinguish between sincerity and falsehood." ”

"How so? As long as the princess convinces His Majesty to let the prince lead the troops instead, the prince will naturally understand your hard work. "The princess in Haitang's mouth refers to the princess of Pingyang.

Shi Fenglan thought about it, reluctantly suppressed the anger in her heart, returned to the chair and sat down, Haitang hurriedly followed, and diligently scooped a bowl of duck soup and handed it to her, "The slave knows that the princess likes to drink duck soup, so she specially asked the kitchen to make it, you can taste it!" ”

Shi Fenglan didn't even look at it, and said coldly: "Leave it aside, I have no appetite!" Although I knew that I had cards in my hand, when I thought of Gao Xueliu and Gongliangyu kissing me, I was angry, and I was still in the mood to eat.

"Yes." Begonia had no choice but to put down the duck soup.

She turned her eyes and saw Ah Hong's hesitant expression, and she wanted to stop talking, so she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ah Hong glanced at her and said hesitantly, "Actually...... When the slave and maid returned, they heard about another incident, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"It is said that today the prince has just come to the early court, and the prisoner has come to the palace."

"Prisoner?" Shi Fenglan frowned, "Didn't he follow Ye Xuemei out of the palace?" What else to do? ”

"The prince sent all his subordinates out at that time, so no one knew what he said to the prince, but after he finished speaking, the prince summoned Mr. Cai to go in and asked Mr. Cai to clear all the remaining silver in the house."

"Pick it all up?" Shi Fenglan was stunned and said, "What does the prince want so much silver for?" ”

"It's not the prince who wants it, it's the prisoner who wants it, because those silver tickets are all given to the prisoner."

"How is this possible, the prisoner is just a guard, how can the prince ......" Halfway through the words, Shi Fenglan suddenly stopped her voice, and her beautiful face gradually distorted in the candlelight, "I understand, it's Ye Xuemei, it must be her!" ”

Ah Hong whispered: "In addition, Ye Xuemei came to the mansion to see the prince in the afternoon, and no one knows what they said as before. ”

The corners of Shi Fenglan's eyes twitched, and after a while, she said, "In this way, there is not a penny of silver in the palace now?" ”

"If this matter is true, then in the house, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out a few hundred taels of silver." As soon as Ah Hong's words fell, a high-quality glazed butterfly-patterned tea bowl was thrown to the ground, and the porcelain pieces shattered to the ground. Seeing that Shi Fenglan was so angry, Ah Hong and the others also knelt on the ground and were terrified, not daring to speak.

Shi Fenglan said excitedly: "Ye Xuemei, it's Ye Xuemei again!" How long does she still want to pester the prince? This time I took all the silver taels in the mansion, and next time I am afraid that it will be the entire Ning Wang Mansion. What will we do then? Go to the Temple of Sleep? After a pause, she said angrily and sadly: "The prince is too, he let her take what she wants." ”

Haitang said softly: "The prince has always valued love and righteousness, Ye Xuemei sent someone to beg, it is inevitable that it will ......"

"That's it!" Shi Fenglan interrupted her irritably, "Do you know what she wants so much silver for?" ”

"I don't know." Seeing Shi Fenglan's displeasure, Haitang hurriedly said, "The slave will send someone to inquire." ”

Shi Fenglan nodded, got up and walked to the long window sill of the vermilion carving, pushed it away, she stared at the window in the heavy rain, and said word by word: "Since she has left Ning Wangfu, she should not set foot here again, I will not let her have the opportunity to harm the prince, never!" ”

Haitang was afraid that she would do something uncontrollable in a fit of anger, so she persuaded: "The slave understands the princess's feelings, but the prince is ......."

"I know." Shi Fenglan turned around, her expression was unusually calm, "The most important thing at the moment is to help the prince lead the army, and the rest ...... Take your time! ”

After ordering someone to remove a mouthful of untouched meals, Shi Fenglan took Ah Hong and the others to the back room, took out a brocade box from the rosewood top cabinet, and after opening it, there was a box full of silver tickets, each of which was an amount of one thousand taels.

Ah Hong and the others recognized that this was the dowry given to her by Princess Pingyang when Shi Fenglan got married, a full 100,000 taels of silver. Although the Pingyang Royal Mansion has a rich family background, this is also a lot of money.

Shi Fenglan took out 20,000 taels from it and handed it to Haitang, "Take it to the account room, so that they can maintain the expenses of the house, which should be enough to last until the prince comes down." ”

Ah Hong shook her head and said: "This is the princess's own money for you, keep it for emergencies, how can you take it out to fill this hole." ”

Haitang also agreed: "That's it, the prince poked the basket himself, let him figure it out by himself." ”

Shi Fenglan smiled abruptly and said, "Since I married him, I am his person." Isn't there a folk saying that marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is like a dog, what else is he and me. But......" she said with a cold expression, "tell the bookkeeper that no one is allowed to touch this money without my consent, except for the normal expenses of the house, otherwise, I will break his hands." ”
