At night, the Forbidden City exudes the fragrance of plants, and clear artificial streams flow moored on smooth white pebbles. The silk palace lamp emits an orange light, reflected on the seamless glazed bricks. It looks extraordinarily gorgeous.

Li Lianying hurriedly walked out of the palace and met Prince Huan head-on, followed by two sedan chairs. Li Lianying stood up and said, "Yo, isn't this the Fifth Prince?" The minions have given you a greeting. ”

"Ah, Gonggong Li, where are you going?" Prince Tong smiled.

"I'll go home. Today, the Empress Dowager passed away, and she was tired for a day. Li Lianying said.

Prince Lu wanted to slap him, and hurriedly said: "I know there is a good place to go, I want to invite Gonggong Li to drink a little wine and listen to a little song, Gonggong Li doesn't know whether to appreciate his face or not?" ”

"The fifth prince has killed the minions, what are the minions, dare to drink with the five princes?" Li Lianying said.

"Don't say these unsightly words, in this palace, who doesn't know that Gonggong Li is a celebrity of the Queen Mother of the West and Qian." Prince Yu flattered.

Li Lianying looked proud.

"Father-in-law Li, get on the sedan chair quickly." Prince Yan raised his hand.

"Then I might as well be respectful." After Li Lianying finished speaking, the two hurriedly got into the sedan chair.

The sedan chair soon arrived at Manxianglou, a rather high-end brothel in the capital. The prostitutes and women in the building are wearing heavy makeup and flowers. Their hair was combed in the Manchu way. Jewelry and bright flowers illuminate their pink faces in the light.

"Fifth Prince, what kind of place is this?" Li Lianying asked knowingly.

"Father-in-law Li, don't ask where it is, just have a good time." Prince Tong said.

A bustard mother who still had charm walked forward and said with a smile: "Yo, the fifth master is here." Quick, upstairs please. ”

Prince Yan and Li Lianying followed the bustard's mother to a secluded luxury room upstairs, where wine and food had already been arranged.

"Fifth master, which girl will you call to accompany you today?" The bustard mother looked at the prince and said.

"Wait a minute, you go out first."

"Yes, lord." The mother curtsy the knees, turns and closes the door and walks out.

After the bustard's mother left, Prince Lu took out a silver ticket of 100,000 taels from his sleeve and handed it to Li Lianying.

"Yo, Lord Wang, what are you doing here?" Li Lianying pretended to be stupid.

"Father-in-law Li, take it."

"Fifth prince, so much silver, you have to make it clear, I am useless." Li Lianying pretended to resign.

"Grandpa Li, you have to help me." Prince Yan sat down and got straight to the point.

"I'm a eunuch, how can I help you, the fifth prince?" Li Lianying said deliberately.

"Gonggong Li, Ming people don't say dark words. Now that the Queen Mother of the East has returned to heaven, the Queen Mother of the West is in charge of the government, and the Queen Mother will have any will in the future, and I hope that the father-in-law will mention more. In addition, originally this time to elect the new emperor, we pretended to be a suitable candidate, and I also told Prince Alcohol, but he did one thing in front of him and another thing behind his back. I can't swallow this breath. Prince Yu said.

Li Lianying didn't want to care about this matter, so she hurriedly excused herself and said: "There is nothing wrong with the former one, but the latter one is your own brother's business!" ”

"I know this, isn't Zai Yan in the palace now, he's still a child, he can't get any kind of disease, where he fell and drowned." There was murder in Prince Gang's eyes.

The atmosphere in the room became a little tense, and Prince Yan looked around, leaned close to Li Lianying's ear and muttered quietly.

"Fifth Prince, what you said is the sin of the Nine Clans!" Li Lianying looked at Prince Yan and said in surprise.

"In all dynasties, many emperors have died like this. Did you find the murderer? Also, so many people die in the palace every year, who said how they died? Gonggong Li, if this thing is done, our family will inherit the unification, you will be the reborn parents of our Wangfu, and all the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace will be at your disposal. Prince Yan sneered.

Li Lianying was silent, as if weighing something. After a while, Guangxu suddenly flashed in his mind looking at him with a fierce light, as if he was going to kill himself. A decision was also made in mind. He was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Fifth prince, I will take care of this matter, you can't be in a hurry, you have to take your time." ”

Wang Yu's face was immediately sprinkled with sunshine, and he smiled: "I know this, let's have a toast." As he spoke, he stuffed the silver ticket towards Li Lianying.

The two clinked glasses.

"Someone's coming!" Prince Yan clapped his hands and said. After a while, the bustard's mother brought this group of girls in and said with a smile: "Fifth master, the girls are here." ”

"Pick a few more for Master Li." Prince Yu said to the bustard's mother. The bustard mother turned her head and whispered, "I don't know what flavor Master Li likes, tall, short, fat, thin?" ”

"Fat and thin can be, the so-called fat is as fat as a jade ring, thin as a swallow. As long as it's appropriate. Li Lianying said.

"What a Master Li, really tasteful. Girls, go up and drink with the adults. The bustard mother flattered.

For a while, the house was full of warblers and swallows, and the house was full of spring.
