Chapter 48: Ten Thousand Taels (24)
But Zoya is bold and upright, and Chu Nian sincerely hopes that she can live and fly with the person she likes.
Zhao Feiyan said a little worriedly: "Sister, with the background of Lan Gongzi, he will definitely not enter Xiwan, and it is very likely that he will have to take a concubine after marrying his wife......"
Chu Nian: "If the matter of taking a concubine is related to the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries, it is not a big deal, we can rest assured that the old lady is a person who can distinguish between the important and the important." In my opinion, the key is whether the princess and Lan Gongzi are happy with each other, and they are so happy that they are willing to leave their homeland for each other. ”
Zoya snorted: "I'm worried, I'm really going to marry into your Eastern Chu Kingdom, and I don't know how I died in the end." ”
Chu Nian chuckled: "You can rest assured if you think of this, you shouldn't be the one who is calculated to death so easily." ”
Zoya snorted again and pursed her lips, clearly skeptical of her words.
The three girls talked speculatively in the room. Although Zoya said that she didn't believe Chu Nian and them, and she was a little repulsed by Chu Nian's calculations at first, she kept chatting with Chu and Zhao in the room until midnight before coming out.
The entourage outside had been waiting like ants on a hot pot, and they were spinning around.
Zoya still doesn't fully trust Chu Nian and Zhao Feiyan, but she will doubt Chu and Zhao, and she can't trust people like Yang Jie. So as soon as he returned to the inn, he told his eldest brother Du Lin about Yang Jie's color blank, and said that he was worried that Yang Jie would hack them.
Du Lin has lived in the court of Xiwan Kingdom for more than 20 years, and as the crown prince, he has naturally experienced a lot of intrigues, and he has begun to secretly wary of Yang Jie after the banquet.
"By the way, where have you been, why did you come back so late?" Du Lin asked a little helplessly. This younger sister has been favored by her father since she was a child, and she is really a bit willful. But she is her only sister, so even if he is helpless, he still loves Zoya in every way.
When Zoya heard this, she quickly replied vaguely: "I just went to the street, but I didn't go anywhere." "She didn't dare let her eldest brother know that she was going to a brothel. Those entourages were all her henchmen, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense with her eldest brother.
Durin only looked at her suspiciously, and said nothing more.
Zoya went back to her room, it was not early, she quickly finished washing up under the service of her henchman and palace maid, and lay on the bed, but her mind unconsciously kept thinking of the words that Chu Nian and Zhao Feiyan told her.
She was a little worried that her eldest brother didn't raise enough vigilance, so after thinking about it, she asked the palace maid to summon a confidant warrior and tell him to do this and that.
Early the next morning, as soon as Durin got up and left the room, he saw one of Zoya's henchmen hurrying back from outside, and wondered, "What are you doing so early?" "It's not going to be running to Fireworks Alley with the master on your back to have fun!
Nazoya's henchman hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the princess got up early in the morning and said that she wanted to know what breakfast the people of the Eastern Chu Kingdom usually use, alas, to put it bluntly, she just wanted to taste the food here, so she ordered me to go out early in the morning to buy it." As he spoke, he held up the food box in his hand.
Du Lin was silent for a moment and asked, "Did you just buy one?" ”
Zoya's henchman said with a smile: "Your Highness, the princess said that she doesn't know if there is a problem with these breakfasts, she has to try them before she can judge whether to give them to His Highness." So this breakfast today...... I'm so sorry. However, I want to have you tomorrow, everyone in the Eastern Chu Kingdom is eating this breakfast, what can be the problem, the princess is so cautious and careful if she cares about His Royal Highness! Take care of it today! With that, he hurried to Zoya's room with the food box.
Looking at his hurried back, Du Lin was a little puzzled: this cautious style is not at all like his sister who is playful all day long!
Knocking on Zoya's door, Zoya's henchman samurai was let in by the palace maid inside. After the palace maid closed the door, he put down the food box very casually, let out a long breath, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and looked still frightened.
Zoya, who was sitting on the bed, was also a little frightened, and said, "Okay, Tianxuan, you are getting more and more clever." ”
The warrior called Tianxuan smiled bitterly.
Zoya glanced at the food box on the ground and said, "Is there really breakfast in here?" ”
Tianxuan said in a low voice, "Princess, don't be sarcastic about me. This food box was given to me by a beggar outside the inn. ”
"Beggars?" Lingxiang, a henchwoman who was serving on the side, said in surprise.
Zoya's eyelids jumped, and she said, "The words you said to my eldest brother just now were also taught to you by a beggar?" ”
Tianxuan: "Not really! He said, "What should I do if I run into someone else after I enter the inn and they ask me why I went out so early and what I am doing?" I thought this beggar was dirty and smelly, and I stayed away, who knew that another beggar would come out of the middle of the water......"
After he finished saying that he was "taught" by the beggars outside the door, he said: "I remembered that the princess asked me to go out in the middle of the night to ask beggars from all over the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and I thought about it a little: eighty percent of the beggars here are managed by one person. ”
Zoya said, "Why do you think so?" ”
Tianxuan: "The answers you asked me to ask were similar, but because their answers were a little different at the time, I didn't think about the fact that they belonged to the same organization, but when I met those beggars outside the inn, I found out that something was wrong." ”
Zoya: "So, what did the beggars say about what I asked you to inquire about?" She understood that all the beggars in the capital of the Eastern Chu Kingdom had already been controlled by Chu Nian.
Tianxuan: "The banquet of the Eastern Chu Kingdom to entertain our envoys of the Western Wan Kingdom will definitely not be just once, I heard that the emperor also wants to take us to the hunting ground to hunt." Yang Jie has already opened up the joint of the hunting ground, and wants to take the opportunity of hunting to make a scene where the princess herself has to stick to him if she falls in love with him, so Yang Jie's statement of flirting with the thin princess is self-defeating. ”
Lingxiang wondered: "Our princess sticks to him?" How to paste it upside down? ”
Tianxuan: "This...... There are many medicines available, for example, the medicine that can make the princess mistake Yang Jie for the person she likes, called honey medicine, and Yang Jie has already ordered someone to mix it. ”
Lingxiang gritted her teeth and said, "Why is this person so shameless? She turned her head to see Zoya muttering, and said, "Princess, we can't let that traitor get away with it." ”
Zoya said, "Tianxuan, since you have already determined that those beggars obey the orders of the same person, isn't it very likely that what they said was made up by that person, and it may not be true?" ”
