Chapter 010: The Prince

At this moment, Yan Yu had already walked several streets with Gu Chaoci.

Yan Yu stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, "They shouldn't be chasing after me here." ”

It's useless to chase, this is no longer the boundary of the Flower Pavilion. It's safe!

"Youβ€”you're going to throw me on the street?"

"And where am I going to take you?" Yan Yu was silent for a while, "I can't send you back to the palace." ”

"You take me to the gate of the palace, and I'll go back by myself." Gu Chao said.

After being silent for a long time, Yan Yu slowly spoke: "This has to be another price." ”

"What?"

Yan Yu looked at Gu Chaoci, "Didn't you say you wanted to give me money?" ”

Gu Chaoci thought for a while, "How much do you want?" ”

Yan Yu carefully looked at Gu Chao's resignation, she knew how rich Queen Li was, so the Nine Emperors should also be very rich, should you pit a little more?

After thinking about it, she slowly stretched out a finger.

Gu Chaoci looked at her outstretched Qianqian fingers and said, "Ten taels?" ”

Yan Yu chuckled lightly and asked rhetorically, "Your Highness's reputation is only worth ten taels?" ”

"One hundred taels?"

Yan Yu still shook his head.

"A thousand taels?" Gu Chaoci said incredulously.

Yan Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Chaoci felt that it was dark in front of him, and this little girl's appetite was inevitably too big, "Since you waited for it from the beginning, it proves that you don't want me to be discovered, so even if you don't give you money, you will help me, right?" ”

"How do you know I'm just here to help you?" Yan Yu glanced at him, "Maybe I'm just in it for the money." ”

Gu Chaoci thought for a while and said frankly: "You send me back first, and I will definitely give you the money in the future." ”

"This can't be done, what if the time comes?"

Gu Chaoci explained seriously, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you now, it's just that no one will carry a thousand taels of silver with him." ”

"You have a point." Yan Yu said, "But since I bothered to make a price, there is no reason to return empty-handed, otherwise I really don't care about you." ”

Gu Chaoci's face was surprised, looking at the little girl in front of him, although she was wearing a hat, she looked small and exquisite, she always gave people a feeling of harmlessness to humans and animals, but she didn't want to be so unreasonable.

He didn't want to owe anyone anything, but he came out in a hurry, and he really didn't bring anything valuable.

"Ninth brother."

A deep voice broke Gu Chaoci's thoughts.

Yan Yu looked for the sound, but saw a carriage parked on the side of the street.

Gu Chaoci hurriedly ran over, "Third Emperor Brother, why are you here?" ”

"That's what I should ask you."

Brother of the Three Emperors? Prince? Gu Weining? Her fiancΓ©?

"Brother ......" thought about it, but Gu Chaoci still didn't dare to tell the story that he was deceived into going to Fumenglou, so he changed his tone and said: "Third Emperor Brother, can you send me back to the palace?" ”

Gu Weining didn't really want him to say anything, turned his head and ordered: "He Qi, send His Royal Highness Nine back to the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, a Tsing Yi guard jumped down from the carriage, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Your Highness the Nine." ”

"I'm tired." Gu Chaoci said, and turned his head to look at Yan Yu again, with a serious expression, "Wait-you, what is your name, I owe you a personal favor today, and I will repay it in the future." ”

Yan Yu's face darkened, if she said no, she would be exposed, it seemed that the money would not be available today, so she had to grit her teeth and say: "This girl is helpful, there is no need to repay her." ”

Gu Chaoci was a little confused, she was the one who asked for the money, and she was the one who didn't want to reciprocate, but she didn't think much about it, said thank you, and followed He Qi.

"Girl, stay."

Yan Yu was about to leave, but was stopped by the people in the carriage again.

He opened the curtain and looked over, and Yan Yu also looked over.

This is the legendary prince who can't live to be twenty-one - Gu Weining.

With precariousness and eternal peace, she couldn't understand why someone had chosen her child such a name.

Gu Weining's state was better than when Yan Yu saw him at noon.

But his skin was still unhealthily white, and his lips were bloodless. His hair was scattered, the tails of his eyes were stretched outward, and there was a mole under his eyes, which looked a little sharp, but at the moment there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and it looked much softer.

"What is the girl looking at me like that?" Gu Weining said slowly.

Although the person in front of him was wearing a hat, Gu Weining still felt that there was a gaze staring at him.

"Is there something wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" Yan Yu's gaze swept over the corners of the other party's smiling mouth, and the people who love to laugh really seem to be easier to get along with.

"Since the girl helped Xiaoci, then Xie still has to be thanked."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a guard take a silver ticket and walk by, hand it to Yan Yu, and Mu Mu turned around and left without saying anything.

10,000 taels, Yan Yu looked at the departing carriage, and said in his heart: Who said that no one would go out with 1,000 taels, he is worthy of being a prince, and he is so generous as soon as he makes a move.

Gu Weining did not go back to the Prince's Mansion directly, but went to Jinhua Building.

Jinhualou is not as lively as Wangjiang Tower, but its fame is greater, because this teahouse is the teahouse of the family of Queen Li, the richest man in Beijing.

I don't know how I made the money.

However, he is also a famous talent in the capital, so this is not only a place to drink tea, but also a treasure place for many literati and artists.

As soon as Gu Weining entered the building, it caused a commotion, the influence of beauties throughout the ages has been great, and there is no doubt that Gu Weining is good-looking.

"Listening to the movement, you know that it is Your Highness, why does Your Highness want to come here today?" Li Zhixu greeted him from upstairs.

He knew that Gu Weining didn't like to walk around, and he usually stayed in the prince's mansion when he had nothing to do, and he couldn't make an appointment.

"Look into something." Gu Weining said.

"Why are you here in person?"

Gu Weining didn't speak, but took him upstairs.

"Do you have a guest list here?" He said.

Jinhualou does record the list of guests every day, and every month will be ranked according to the number of times, the number of times you come, you will have the opportunity to participate in the annual auction, of course, most of the auction items here are mainly calligraphy and painting, but there is also no lack of treasures and medicinal materials.

Li Zhixu probably understood what he meant, "What day?" ”

"The twenty-eighth day of the first month." Gu Weining said.

The Queen Mother was seriously ill, Gu Rongqing went to the palace when he left the house, and only on the twenty-eighth day he went around Jinhualou after coming out of the palace.

At that time, Gu Weining felt that something was wrong, but he knew that after Gu Chao resigned from the palace, he rushed over too late, but he didn't expect that someone knew earlier than him, the only possibility was that she was also in Jinhua Building on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, and heard it.

Who the hell is she?

Gu Weining carefully flipped through the booklet, Gu Rongqing did go that day, he went to the third floor, but there were no women on the third floor during the time he went.

"Didn't find it? Why don't you take a look at the days before and after? Li Zhixu asked.

"Not necessarily." Gu Weining said.

No is nothing.

He had already asked Yuan Wu to follow the woman, and now it seems that he may not really be able to keep up, but as long as he is in the capital, he will always know who it is.
