Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Fragrance of Rouge Flowers
Wan Yan Jin is not here, and Mo Bing and Mu Yun can also deal with the underground money bank, but with Liang Chenyue's help, it is like a tiger with wings for them. With Zhao Zhongzhong in the court and Mo Bing and others watching the underground money village, Wan Yan Jin dared to leave Bianjing and concentrate all his energy on Xicheng.
But although Wanyan Jin is in Xicheng, the control of Bianjing is still in his hands, Mu Yun will write to him every day to report, Mu Yun also received Wanyan Jin's arrangement, mobilized all the Langzhong of the underground money bank to go to Xicheng, and began to investigate the matter. Liang Chenyue's original task was to deal with the town, but Wan Yanjin ordered her to put down the matter of the towntown first, and make every effort to thoroughly investigate the matter of the plague in Xicheng. Mo Bing had to cooperate with Zhao Zhongzhong to look at the upward trend, after all, there was no Yan Jin himself in the court, and those people would still be restless.
Liang Chenyue thought that if she wanted to investigate the affairs of Xicheng thoroughly, of course it would be better to go to Xicheng to investigate on the spot, but they didn't let her, the matter of the plague had not been resolved, and it would be dangerous for her to go now. There are Zhen Ai and Shuofeng in Xicheng, and Wan Yan Jin is there, if there is anything suspicious, they will naturally be able to find it, and what Liang Chenyue has to do is to collect files with Mu Yun, and what Wan Yan Jin needs to find him, in general, what they have to do is to be on call at any time.
Originally, Mo Bing also proposed that he and Zhen Ai go to Xicheng, wouldn't it be better to let Wan Yan Jin be in Bianjing, but Wan Yan Jin wouldn't let him. Mo Bing knew that Wan Yan Jin didn't let him go, naturally it wasn't for his sake, on the one hand, Wan Yan Jin wanted to do everything he could, and through his own way, he forced out the people behind him, and on the other hand, no one would understand.
Liang Chenyue was busy in the underground bank until late before returning to the palace, she didn't have her own house in the underground bank, although Zhen Ai's position was still empty, but she didn't want to trouble Zhen Ai, and the relationship between Zhen Ai and her was also a little delicate, unclear, unclear.
But I never thought that when I returned to the palace, I saw Mu Qingcheng and her maidservant Cai Wei, and the two were standing and talking to the guards. When I got closer, I realized that I was arguing with the guards, Wan Yanjin was not there, and the guards who were not from the palace would not let me in.
Liang Chenyue didn't want to meddle in things, and she didn't have a good impression of that Caiwei, so she simply didn't see it, thinking that it would be good to go directly to the palace.
From Cai Wei's voice, I could hear that she was very angry, even though she had 10,000 reasons to enter the palace, and 10,000 words to coerce and lure, but the guards of the palace were still indifferent. The guards of King Jin's Mansion are famous, and there have been royal princesses who came to make trouble, didn't they let them in? Even if the emperor came, he could only wait outside and get Yan Jin's consent before he could come in.
"My young lady will also be the mistress of the palace in the future, do you treat your master like this? Aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you? Cai Wei was still indignant, and said a theory to the guard, but she happened to see Liang Chenyue who was about to enter the mansion, and she was suddenly angry.
Why was Liang Chenyue able to enter the palace, and they didn't let them in after arguing with the guards here for a long time?
"Liang Chenyue, you stop!" Cai Wei shouted.
Liang Chenyue turned around, pretended not to know anything, and asked, "Are you calling me?" ”
Cai Wei saw that Liang Chenyue's tone was so casual, and she originally wanted to teach her a good lesson, but was stopped by Mu Qingcheng. Mu Qingcheng pulled her behind him, and instead walked to Liang Chenyue's side.
Mu Qingcheng didn't care about Liang Chenyue's tone, but with a very close smile on his face, he bowed to Liang Chenyue dignifiedly, showing the appearance of everyone's ladies, and they looked very educated in their gestures. "Miss Liang, can you please help Miss Liang?"
Cai Wei held her breath when she saw it, that is Miss, what is the identity of Miss, why do you want to talk to a subordinate in a low voice, what is Liang Chenyue? Can you compare it to Miss?
"Miss, let's go. Wait for the prince to come back, and then let the prince teach this group of guards a lesson. Cai Wei didn't want to see her young lady whispering to people, especially Liang Chenyue.
"Cai Wei! Don't be rude! The guards of the palace have been conscientious, and we have caused them trouble. Mu Chengcheng drank Cai Wei, and there was a complaint in his eyes. Turning to look at Liang Chenyue again, he grabbed Liang Chenyue's hand, and said with some request: "It's just that if it's too late today, there may be something wrong if our master and servant go back." So please ask Miss Liang to help. ”
Liang Chenyue looked at her holding her hand, and it was not easy to refuse anything for a while. And there were only two of them, so it would be too late to go back at this time.
"Wang Lin, let them in, and I'll talk to Steward Zhang when I get back." Liang Chenyue said to the guard. For them, Liang Chenyue always has some admiration, they can be said to have no two hearts for Wan Yan Jin, they work for the palace wholeheartedly, their martial arts are also good, but they are willing to help Wan Yan Jin guard the palace. And he is not afraid of offending any high-ranking officials and magnates at all. I can't help but think that when she first came to the palace, she was also turned away from the door, and she couldn't enter until Yan Jin went down.
The head of the guards of the Wang Lin clan is also a member of the underground bank, so he naturally knows the identity of Liang Chenyue, and has also heard that she only took seven days to solve the case of Yun Guifei, and as the closest person among the only two women in the underground bank, it can be said that she admires and respects Liang Chenyue.
"The prince is not here, and we don't dare to let people enter the palace casually. But since Miss Liang has spoken, then we might as well be respectful. Wang Lin was still a little hesitant, but he thought that Liang Chenyue was also the second master of the underground bank, and the big boss was not there, so he naturally had to listen to the words of the second master. Liang Chenyue has spoken, and they can't say anything more.
Liang Chenyue nodded, said that she had worked hard and entered the palace with Mu Chengcheng and Cai Wei.
Cai Wei was even more unconvinced when she saw it, why did Liang Chenyue say let in? Miss will be the mistress of King Jin's Mansion in the future, and this group of subordinates is so eyeless.
Mu Tingcheng knew that Cai Wei was indignant, she glared at her with her eyes, and Cai Wei didn't say anything more, but kept holding it in her heart. But he didn't see Mu Tingcheng's hand hidden behind him tightened.
To enter the palace, you have to pass through the hall and bypass the garden before parting ways, so this way is walked by several people.
"Thank you Miss Liang for your help, if it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have been able to enter the palace until tomorrow."
Liang Chenyue didn't expect Mu Tingcheng to thank her, since the last incident, Liang Chenyue has been a little wary of Mu Tingcheng, it's not that she is suspicious, because what happened last time was really weird. If the only killer they met that day was someone from Gusu Wanyue, then why did he pretend to make people think that the town gang village did it, and then Yan Jin generously admitted it. And she fought against the two classes of people who came at that time, and the difference in strength was very large, and she didn't look like a person all the way.
I believe that Wan Yan Jin, Mu Yun and others have seen these suspicious points, so Wan Yan Jin ordered a thorough investigation. It's just that I don't know why Wan Yan Jin didn't let them check it anymore.
"Miss Mu laughed, this is just a gesture, why worry about it." Liang Chenyue didn't advance or retreat, just catered to her.
When passing by the garden, the fragrance of flowers blows, the fragrance is faint, but it is very unique at night.
"The scent is very familiar, like a ...... The fragrance of the annatto. "Mu Chengcheng is amazed! It turns out that there are still rouge flowers she likes in this palace.
Cai Wei also noticed that Mu Tingcheng loves rouge flowers very much, and there are only rouge flowers in the backyard except for peach blossoms, and she also helps take care of them, so she is naturally very familiar with this fragrance. The cat followed the scent and searched for it, and sure enough, she found clusters of rouge flowers.
"Miss, there are really rouge flowers here!" Cai Wei shouted excitedly, asking Mu Qingcheng to come and see.
Liang Chenyue felt that the fragrance was not bad, but she had never seen rouge flowers, so she also went over to take a look.
The cochineal flowers are purple, with numerous branches, luxuriant branches and leaves, and flower buds can grow between almost every leaf axil, and the flowers are a layer as soon as they bloom, and the clusters of cochineal flowers are even more bewitching and dazzling, and at night they look like dancing girls in purple dance dresses quietly spinning.
Mu Tingcheng was very surprised, and leaned his nose to the clusters of rouge flowers, and took a breath of the fragrance of the flowers.
"The prince really cares about the young lady the most, and even the rouge flowers that the young lady likes are planted in the garden. I see, if the prince thinks of the young lady at night and can't see the young lady, he will definitely come to the garden to see the rouge flower. Cai Wei glanced at Liang Chenyue on the side and said proudly.
Liang Chenyue frowned slightly, she didn't understand why Cai Wei looked at herself with that kind of look, she still didn't have any expression on her face, ignoring the look that Cai Wei had seen.
Cai Wei was slightly unhappy in her heart, she just deliberately said it to Liang Chenyue, so that she could understand that this palace was the real hostess, but Liang Chenyue didn't give her the look she wanted.
Mu Tingcheng was already stunned by Cai Wei's words, and she seemed to be able to imagine the scene of Yan Jin and Ah Jin coming out for a stroll at night, smelling the faint fragrance of rouge flowers. There was unconcealed joy on the corners of her mouth, and her cheeks were also powdery, but seeing that Liang Chenyue was here, she quickly regained her senses, she was everyone's best girl, and she couldn't show how much she liked Wan Yan Jin in front of outsiders, otherwise others would say that she was not reserved.
turned to pretend to be angry and pinched Cai Wei, her good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "You dead girl talks a lot!" ”
Cai Wei smiled, "Miss, what the slave said is not a lie. Of course, the prince's favorite is Miss, who else can get into the eyes of the prince? ”
Mu Qingcheng's eyes were full of smiles, and while pretending to be angry to teach Cai Wei a lesson, he looked at Liang Chenyue again, quite showing off.
Liang Chenyue stood aside, but thought in her heart, the flowers in this garden are all taken care of by Steward Zhang, and the flowers are all transplanted directly from the flower market, I don't know if Wan Yan Jin personally selected the varieties of flowers, but if Zhen Ai notices it, she will definitely let Steward Zhang replace it, because although this flower has a pleasant fragrance, it carries a chronic poison.
Liang Chenyue also had training in this area when he was in Purgatory City, and it was also a major means of killing, so they also popularized this knowledge. But I didn't notice anything unusual just now, after all, there are many flowers in the garden, and it is quite difficult to smell which flowers carry chronic poison.
