Chapter XXVIII
A few days later, suddenly the eldest prince sent someone again.
The man who came also brought a box of gold.
Jiang Xiaoli and Ding Yi glanced at each other, staring at each other in astonishment, just last time they solved such a small matter, and the reward was so rich?
Before he could speak, Liu Yu spoke first
"Girl, this is what the eldest prince has ordered to be given to you."
"This royal family is different, and the shot is not ordinarily generous." Ding Yi's eyes lit up, and he was about to stretch out his hand to collect the money.
"Ding Yi, wait for Manager Liu to finish speaking."
Sure enough, Liu Yu, who had his hands in his sleeves, nodded and continued.
"The girl is really smart! Today, I have to bother the girl to run again. ”
"So, it's twice?"
"Huh!"
"Before I said anything, give the money first, it seems that today's things are not simple, right?"
The more quiet she is, the more greasy she is, and she can hide it from Jiang Xiaoli.
"Forehead ......" Liu Yu glanced at Ding Yi next to him, bowed down and said, "Girl, you better go and have a look, it's not too late." ”
Pretend to be mysterious, there must be demons.
However, it really succeeded in arousing Jiang Xiaohua's curiosity.
"Gotta lead the way!"
She was not polite, and went straight to the jujube red sedan chair outside the door. The horses galloped all the way south.
In the sedan chair, the charcoal fire is warm, and it is also intimately equipped with a heater.
Holding one in his arms, warm but not dry, hot but not hot, the treatment of this prince is different.
The carriage trotted down the wide road of Wan'an Street for a while, and suddenly turned into the bluestone alley next to it.
On both sides of the road are bare trees, behind which are elegant courtyards.
The fence is encircled, the white walls are green and tiled, and occasionally there are three or two children playing in the small courtyard.
Those who can set up a small courtyard next to Wan'an Street must also be rich families.
The carriage turned around and came to a halt in front of a similar yard. There was a slight difference here, the wall was much higher than what had been seen before, almost the size of a grown man.
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't see inside when he stood on tiptoe, only the crooked bald branches sticking out and the blue-tiled roof.
The courtyard door was closed and it was very quiet.
Liu Yu was the first to get off the car, opened the door, and there was a guard standing on each side of the door.
"Girl, please."
Jiang Xiaoli followed closely inside.
The yard is not big, an old tree, a set of stone tables and benches are placed under it, and there is a palm-sized vegetable field on the right, perhaps because of winter, the field is barren, and the innermost is three ordinary tiled houses.
This can't help but remind people of a word, the years are quiet.
However, when I saw the people inside, I lost the idea of 'quiet'.
In the middle of the hall, a figure swayed and staggered, who was not the eldest prince.
I saw him outside the green brocade robe, the waist seal hung obliquely on his body, the crown of the same color was crooked, he was holding a white wine bottle in his hand, his steps were vain, his face was red, and his eyes were in a trance.
Looking at the ground again, large and small bottles and cans are scattered all over the ground, thinking that it is not short of time to drink.
"You're here! Hahaha" Seeing someone coming, the hand holding the wine bottle came over with his free index finger, "Come, drink!" ”
"Hahahaha-woo-woo-she's gone, nowhere to be found."
One would cry, one would laugh, and one would mumble, and Jiang Xiaoli frowned.
Liu Yu next to him took two steps forward and explained: "Suddenly, one day, Miss Zhao disappeared, and His Royal Highness the Prince became like this." ”
"Disappear?"
What does that mean? Didn't you leave on your own? But when I saw the guards in the courtyard guarding me, I understood it again.
"Girl, please."
Liu Yu took Jiang Xiaoli back a few steps and stopped in front of the two wooden doors of the hall: "Look. ”
This is one of the most common wooden doors, with vertical bars, separated by a horizontal log in the middle, and then a copper ring is all of it.
At this time, it seems to be different.
The copper ring fell off on one side, and there were traces of potholes on the door, as if caused by an external impact, and the one on the left directly broke a hole the size of a bowl. The upper and lower door ties inside were directly damaged.
"This door was smashed like this?" Jiang Xiaoli asked while observing.
"Yes, because Miss Zhao was in there at that time."
"And then? People disappeared? ”
Liu Yu nodded: "As the girl expected, after crashing away, Miss Zhao disappeared out of thin air and was never found again." ”
Looking around the hall, it is not big, the furnishings in the house are simple, you can see it at a glance, and you can't hide people.
"Are you sure she's in there?" Jiang Xiaoli asked.
"Sure!" Liu Yu's tone was firm, "Because of the four guards present that day, as well as His Royal Highness the Prince, it is impossible for Miss Zhao to go out by herself." ”
seemed to guess Jiang Xiaoli's thoughts, and he briefly described the situation that day: "It is said that the eldest prince will go there for a while," and that there is a toilet.
"Miss Zhao first closed the door, and soon heard its exclamation, the guards rushed over, and found that the door had been tied, so they slammed together, and when the door opened, the person was gone."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, the person was taken captive, and it was in full view.
"What else do you want me to do? Ah, what else do you want from me? The eldest prince was unstable, sat on the ground, beat his chest and said, "You have moved here, do you still want to leave me?" ”
What's going on here?
"Oh, as far as you saw before, Miss Zhao still refused to stick a grain of rice after waking up, and only said that she wanted to go out of the palace to live, so she rented a small courtyard," Liu Yu sighed, "Poor Your Highness ran at both ends, but ......"
If you want to say that this prince has offended no less than a hundred, but those who dare to do it must be evenly matched.
"But what's suspicious? Or...... Something big has happened lately. ”
Jiang Xiaoli looked at the people sitting like mud on the ground, and at this time, there were already guards helping him to the Taishi chair on the side.
"This ......"
Liu Yu wanted to speak and stopped, and after the guards went out, he closed the door and whispered, "I don't know if it will have something to do with this matter?" ”
There must be a reason for everything, everything can be followed, sure enough.
He lowered his voice: "In a few days, the emperor's 60th birthday will be celebrated, and envoys from all over the world will come to congratulate him." Among these people is Princess Shangyu. ”
Jiang Xiaoli raised his eyebrows.
"In addition to Asaga, it is engaged to the eldest prince." Liu Yu stirred his hands with each other, "His Royal Highness the prince has been anxious about these two things in the past few days. ”
"It's just that Miss Zhao is missing again, it's really worse, I don't know what to do later?"
It's really annoying, the prince's resistance to marriage is not a joke!
What seemed to be a simple flirting with a young man made things a hundred times complicated once it involved something else.
"Marriage between two countries?!"
"Yes......"
Seeing Liu Yu's embarrassed appearance, Jiang Xiaoli smiled silently: "I'm not interested in your important things, if you think it's helpful to find someone, but don't worry, all this girl cares about is silver." ”
"Yes, Liu is too careful, don't blame the girl." Liu Yu bowed down and whispered, "This marriage is indeed about ...... The battle for storage space. ”
Jiang Xiaohua's eyes flickered.
If you want to talk about treachery, there is nothing more than the palace court.
Looking outside the door, seeing that spring is coming, the tail of winter, the cold of spring is getting closer and closer.
