Chapter 61 Visiting the Fragrance Residence
And since the prince met her on the street that day, he always felt that she looked familiar, not in the temple of the sect, but even before that.
He pondered about this matter for many days, wanting people to secretly go to the Four Princes' Mansion to test it, but he was worried that he would be discovered by Lu Yuanbai, but he couldn't tell it clearly when the time came.
"You go and check it carefully, there must be something wrong with her origin, don't alarm your father and Lu Yuanbai. The prince commanded the guards.
The emperor did not have doubts about Chu Yimiao's identity, if it wasn't for Lu Yuanbai secretly blocking it, I am afraid that he would be able to confront him if he was paralyzed in the court.
Chi Yingchu didn't go out for a few days, and quietly asked Liu Yuezhi to get a set of men's clothes, and she was really a little weak and bookish when she dressed up.
Liu Yuezhi asked her about the purpose of men's clothing, and she only said that it was convenient to leave the house, so Liu Yuezhi didn't doubt it, as long as she wasn't discovered by Lu Yuanbai.
"I heard from the prince, he has something to go out in two days, you can do what you want to do quickly, so as not to be discovered......"
"I see. ”
Chi Yingchu changed into men's clothes, went out smoothly all the way from the palace, pretending to be the handsome son written in the book, and shook the folding fan to the second floor of Liuxiangju.
The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly, and wiped the place where she was sitting in advance: "What does the little boy want to drink?"
Chi Yingchu looked around, and when she walked up, it was no different from an ordinary restaurant, and she didn't see any underground gambling houses here.
"Little boy?"
When Chi Yingchu heard his words, his mind was not on drinking, and he had some perfunctory thoughts when he answered: "Is there a green plum brew?"
"Yes," the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, and his eyes fell on the money bag on her waist, "The green plum brew is taken from the unripe green plums in summer May, and all of them have to be the best, and the rock sugar must also be handmade, and the soaking time is at least five months, and the wine will taste good, so fifty taels and one pot." ”
Chi Yingchu unconsciously touched the money bag, and I don't know if there are fifty taels here, no matter how good it is, it's just a pot of wine, which is really expensive.
"Good. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and gave the shopkeeper a tip, but she didn't know if the silver for the wine money was enough, if it was not enough, it would be on Lu Yuanbai's head.
When the shopkeeper walked out of the wing, he was invited by the prince's guards to the next wing: "Your Highness?"
"The aunt next door...... What kind of wine did the little boy order?" The prince asked lightly, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to rub it, so he quickly replied.
"Her wine money is counted with me," the prince Gu poured himself a glass of wine, and the bottom of the pool outlined some unclear meaning, "It's none of your business here." ”
The shopkeeper nodded and retreated, the prince's eyes narrowed slightly coldly, it seems that the lesson given to Zhong Jingsong last time was not enough, and she actually dared to come.
Anyway, this time she broke in by herself, if he didn't make good use of this opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste?
The corners of the prince's mouth turned up on one side, although he was smiling on his face, but his eyes were cold: "Find a way to let Zhong Jingsong know about this, and then find the second prince of Song, and tell him that if he can handle the affairs of this palace, this palace will exempt him from the 300,000 taels he owes." ”
"Yes. The guard closed the door and left.
The green plum brew is not intoxicating, the sweet and sour taste is very delicious, Chi Yingchu couldn't help but drink too much, and when she heard a fierce noise downstairs, she hurriedly pushed the door and went out to see.
claimed to be a descendant of the Four Princes' Mansion, and went to Shuntian Mansion to spread the word, saying that a young lady went to Liuxiangju, and the money was not enough to be deducted, so Zhong Jingsong sent some silver over, and the latter didn't think much about it.
"What are you looking for, little boy?" the shopkeeper found that she looked left and right, and stepped forward to ask.
Chi Yingchu held his forehead with one hand, pretending to be drunk, and spoke hesitantly: "I drank too much...... I want to throw up. ”
She stumbled out a few steps, and the shopkeeper reached out to help her, but she deftly avoided it, and she propped her hands on the custom-made wooden wall, and she could feel that the inner layer was empty.
She moved a little hard in her hand, the wooden wall did not move, and the shopkeeper wanted someone to help her away, she shook her head strongly and refused: "I won't go, I won't go!"
"You ask someone to give me a well-roofed wing, and if I don't have enough money on me, I will put it in the account of the Four Kings...... Just go. ”
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and then drove away a few shopkeepers beside him, Chi Yingchu bent down and vomited for a long time, and the afterglow caught a glimpse that his attention was not on him, and he suddenly pushed it away and rushed in.
"You!" "The last incident has already happened once, where can it come a second time, the shopkeeper suddenly wanted to be stopped, and the prince signaled him not to act rashly.
Chi Yingchu didn't have to pretend at this time, his face was naturally not half drunk, the more he walked in, the more frowning he became, there were many people here, how could he find the man's uncle?
"Little boy. ”
Thinking that she was calling herself, she stopped and turned around, and was soon covered by several five big and three thick men and dragged into the corner.
Zhong Jingsong got off the horse and looked anxious to go inside, but the shopkeeper stopped him when he saw this: "Could it be that Lord Zhong is searching again?"
"I'm looking for someone. Zhong Jingsong's tone was urgent, he didn't see Chu Yimiao everywhere, and asked sharply, "What about His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come today, if Lord Zhong is looking for someone, then tell me the name......"
"Get out!" Zhong Jingsong impatiently pushed people away, raised his feet and strode in, until he saw the prince, his cold face eased a little.
"Your Royal Highness, she doesn't know about these things, and she won't talk nonsense, the lower officials manage the security in the city, and they should be responsible for the safety of the people, so please let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince release them. ”
The prince was silent, his attitude was unclear, Zhong Jingsong's uneasy feeling gradually became stronger, and he paused and spoke again: "Recently, there have been many incidents in the city, if something happens again, the lower officials are afraid that the emperor will blame ......"
"Father and Emperor blame it, there is this palace to bear, why bother with you?" the prince threw out a sentence lukewarmly, "Just now she came in, and ran directly to the gambling house, I thought it was Lord Zhong's instructions." ”
When Zhong Jingsong heard that she had entered the gambling house, he immediately became perverted: "Xia Guan has no such intention!"
"This palace doesn't listen to these vains," the prince tugged at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were cold, "If you want someone, go find it yourself, and you will have to take care of her in the future." ”
Zhong Jingsong didn't bring anyone when he came, thinking that he had agreed, so he raised his feet and went to the gambling house, and the guards sent by the prince also came back at this time.
"Second Prince Song is here?"
"It's right in the back. Before the guard's words fell, the second son of Song came over, and the prince suddenly smiled.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......" Second Prince Song didn't go out again when he went back that day, and he was suddenly called here, and he couldn't help but be a little timid.
"This palace is looking for you today, not for anything else," the prince pulled him to him and lowered his voice, "Kill Zhong Jingsong for this palace, 300,000 taels will be free, and you will have fun here in the future." ”
This is indeed a big inducement, but it is illegal to commit murder, not to mention the imperial court......
The prince seemed to see his hesitation, and said meaningfully: "Of course, intentional murder will lead to imprisonment, but the risk of accidents may not be over, the people here will not spread the matter, you can handle it yourself." ”
"Good. After a long time, Song Ergongzi agreed with a trembling voice.
The prince raised his voice happily: "Take the second son down to prepare first." ”
