Chapter 11 Credits
The letter stated that King Liang wanted to marry with the Prime Minister and consolidate his power, and the other two letters were love poems sent by Tang Yanqing when he was in love with Lu Jinzhao before. The most shocking thing was that the letter actually said that King Liang had privately established an underground casino money bank, and also auctioned off the population, which was not an ordinary population, and many of them were "lost" young ladies from large families.
Today's emperor strictly forbids the establishment of underground casinos without permission, and once found, the light ones will be exiled, and the heavy ones will be executed.
Gu Huaisheng also looked solemn after reading the letter, and slowly analyzed: "Look at the back just now, it should be a woman, who can provide such accurate information about the eldest lady of the Tang family, there are nine times out of ten people in the Tang Mansion, that is, there are people in the Tang Mansion who are not used to Tang Yanqing, as far as I know, Tang Yanqing's favorite bully at home is her third sister, if you guess correctly, the woman just now should be the third lady of the Tang family!" ”
King Rui was very puzzled: "But how can a mere concubine know so many secrets?" ”
Gu Huaisheng frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, but if what is said in the letter is true, then the prince can save a lot of trouble." ”
"This letter mentions that the underground casino has auctioned a woman named Xue Yan, if there is a chance that we can help us, do you know who this person is?"
Gu Huaisheng shook his head: "I have never heard of a big lady named Xue Yan." ”
King Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm just guessing at the moment, and after I have ordered someone to verify, I'll talk to Mr. in detail." ”
It seems that he knows who this person is, but he is not sure.
Gu Huaisheng nodded, and the afterglow drifted to the handkerchief that wrapped the letter, silky and silky, white as snow, and only one orchid was embroidered on the entire handkerchief, the stitches were delicate and lifelike, and the handkerchief was simple and generous.
Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but think to himself, the third lady of this prime minister's mansion seems to have a good taste, and they all say that the gentleman is like an orchid, and it is the most foiling temperament.
Gu Huaisheng, who was sent by the ghost, picked up the Fang Jinpa and sniffed it gently, and a faint fragrance of orchids came, refreshing people's hearts......
"Ahem...... cough ......" King Rui coughed lightly with his hand against his lips.
"What's wrong?" Gu Huaisheng asked with a calm expression.
"Sir has been staring at this handkerchief, but what is the secret of this handkerchief?" After that, King Rui stretched out his hand to take it and take it over, so he could take a good look at it.
I just talked to Mr. for a long time and didn't respond, so I looked up and was about to continue asking, but when I looked up, I saw Mr. holding the embroidered handkerchief that had just wrapped the letter and pondering, and finally sniffed it......
"It's no secret, it's just thinking about things for a while." Gu Huaisheng casually stuffed the handkerchief into his cuffs, pretending to continue to read the letter just now.
Rui Wang's outstretched hand touched the air, and took it back stupidly, Mr. has never been close to women, and just now he was holding a handkerchief from a girl he didn't know and smelling it...... Isn't Mr. Mo a hobby of collecting handkerchiefs? King Rui couldn't help but look at Mr. twice.
Gu Huaisheng, who was staring at him, didn't know that King Rui had now imagined him as a person with special habits, and continued to speak; "His Royal Highness still needs to verify the letter, and these two letters, let's not move them for the time being, and wait until King Liang asks for marriage. However, recently, we can first spread some rumors that the eldest lady of the Tang family loves the prince of the Hou Mansion to create some public opinion. ”
"Okay."
"Also, it is best for His Highness to send someone to keep an eye on this third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who can provide so much information at one time, either it has been hidden all the time, or there is a master behind it."
King Rui nodded: "What Mr. said is very true, but I really don't understand how this third young lady knew that we met here?" ”
They have always done a good job of secrecy when they met, and the gentleman has never shown up, how did this third lady know about it and not be discovered by them?
Gu Huaisheng folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, "I can't guess it, but depending on the situation, she seems to want to cooperate with us?" This person knows how to judge the situation, and knows that these news are of little use in her hands, so she wants to use our hands to spread it, and it just so happens that we also need this news, so let's wait for a while, and then say that multiple allies are stronger than multiple enemies. ”
King Rui snorted, and then as if he remembered something, he was surprised: "Sir, do you have a marriage contract with the eldest lady of the Tang family?" ”
"Yes." Gu Huaisheng replied expressionlessly.
"Then this Miss Tang family has a private agreement with someone else for life when she has a marriage contract with you, I am afraid that it will be a loss of morality, how does Mr. plan to deal with it!"
King Rui is a little worried, if Mr. takes care of the marriage contract, then he will inevitably involve the Prime Minister when he deals with King Liang, Mr. is kind to him, and it is not good to ignore his face! Besides, this Tang Yanqing misbehaved, if he was really with Mr., he would be a little worthless for Mr.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Seeing that Mr. looked indifferent and didn't seem to care about the marriage contract, King Rui put his mind at ease and talked with Gu Huaisheng for a while, until the sunset on the horizon Gu Huaisheng said goodbye: "Your Highness, that's all for today, it's time to go back!" Then he folded his hands and stood up to say goodbye.
King Rui hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Gu Huaisheng's hand and said, "Sir, don't be polite, Jing Xiu's life was saved by you, you are my life-saving benefactor, and you don't have to do these false courtesies with me in the future." ”
"No, Your Highness, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, even if Huaisheng is fortunate enough to save His Highness's life, this ceremony must not be abolished, and please don't shirk it." Gu Huaisheng looked serious and insisted on saluting, and King Rui had to sigh.
Mr. has always been the same, and King Rui didn't say anything more, so he ordered the two secret guards to send Mr. back safely, but before the words fell, Gu Huaisheng interrupted and said: "Don't bother Your Highness, just go back in the next person." ”
King Rui was stunned for a moment before he reacted and laughed secretly.
Mr. is outstanding in martial arts, better than his secret guard, and there is really no need to send it anymore.
Gu Huaisheng stood on the same road and watched the carriage drift away, until there was no trace before turning around and walking back.
Tang Yanning ran all the way to the main road and didn't see anyone chasing behind him, so he slowed down, and pretended to be calm and walked over, Shuang'er saw a thin layer of sweat on Miss's forehead and a few leaves in her hair, so she hurriedly went over to help Miss tidy up, and couldn't help but quip: "Miss, what are you doing, you are disgraced." ”
Tang Yanning stretched out his hand to take the hat handed by Shuang'er and fasten it again, before telling Shuang'er about the letter he had just delivered and his own plan.
Shuang'er is Tang Yanning's most trusted person in this world, and she will accompany her for a long time in the future, so Tang Yanning did not hide it, who knew that the little girl's eyes immediately leaked the light of worship after hearing this: "Miss has changed since she woke up that day and has become smarter, in the past, Miss just blindly tolerated it, but now that she has finally fought back, I know that Miss is talented and intelligent, and she will never be bullied all the time." ”
Tang Yanning looked at the little girl's face of admiration, and couldn't help but say: "Silly girl, if you don't want to be a knife, you have to resist and become strong, so you have to act steadily in the future, so that you don't fall behind." ”
Shuang'er nodded heavily: "Miss, don't worry, Shuang'er won't hold you back." ”
Tang Yanning smiled slightly, and told Shuang'er to take the things and go to Qingquan Temple to pray for his mother's blessing.
When the two of them returned after praying for blessings, it was already sunset and dusk, and the glow of the sun on Qingquan Temple seemed quiet and peaceful.
Tang Yanning stood in a pavilion on the mountainside and couldn't help but look down, the houses under the mountain were scattered, the cooking smoke was curling, and a few immature children could be seen playing outside in the distance.
