A month later, in Wan'an City, Youyuxuan.

"Auntie, why did you bring me to this place as soon as we arrived in the Imperial City?" In the corner of the teahouse, the painting looked at Aunt Hui in puzzlement.

After the two left Shaoyang Town, they traveled all the way east, and only used spells to escape in the deserted suburbs, and the towns they passed through only stayed for a few days. If they happen to meet someone who has a stubborn illness, they will help out, not only to solve the pain of others, but also to accumulate some entanglements, and life is easy along the way.

The two of them just arrived in the imperial capital yesterday, and today Aunt Hui hurriedly brought the painting to Youyuxuan. Aunt Hui's move made Hua Chengcheng very puzzled, it was just a teahouse, and the streets of the imperial capital were all over the street, why did they have to choose this Youyuxuan, which was far away from where they stayed. Come on, come on, but Aunt Hui also asked her to change her appearance, and now both of them are dressed as men.

"I inquired yesterday, and this Youyu Xuan is a bit famous. It is said that as long as you can afford it, you can buy any news you want in this Yuyu Xuan. We're here to find someone, and sitting in this teahouse might be able to find out some of the information we need. Aunt Hui replied in a low voice.

"Oh, I see. But we've been sitting here for a long time, and the people around us are talking about some parents, and there is no useful news. The painting allure muttered depressedly.

Before Aunt Hui could answer, two guests who had just entered the door walked to the table next to them. These were two young women, and they were known to be rich ladies by their dress.

As soon as the two women sat down, they began to discuss. One of the women in yellow said: "I haven't gossiped with my sister for a long time, and I heard that Lord Liu has been promoted again recently, and my sister is really envious of my sister marrying such a wishful husband." ”

Another woman in blue said with a smile: "Sister, where is this, my father-in-law is lucky to be appreciated by His Majesty." If you want to say that my sister still envies my sister, I heard that Zhang Daguan's silk business is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has become a hot commodity hand-picked by those concubines and ladies in the palace. ”

"My father-in-law will also do a little business, which is not worth mentioning in front of my sister. By the way, sister, can you tell my sister about what rare things have happened in the palace recently, so that my sister can turn around and talk to my father-in-law, so that he won't be stupid and stupid when he enters the palace and doesn't understand anything. The woman in yellow poured a cup of tea for the woman in blue, and her tone was very polite.

The woman in blue had a smug look on her face when she heard this, she took a sip of tea slowly, and then pretended to be mysterious and said, "Speaking of rare things, there is really one thing." I heard that our princess Wushan found another man out of nowhere a month ago, and it is rumored that the man is extremely handsome, and even Princess Wushan, who is used to seeing beautiful men, favors him. It is said that in the past month, the princess has only favored him alone, singing every night in the dormitory, and the rest of the princess's old loves have been left aside by the princess. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing, sister, but I heard that the princess of Wushan likes the new and hates the old very much, isn't it just a whim?" asked the woman in yellow with some disbelief.

"You don't know this, it's true that the princess likes the new and hates the old, but I've never heard of her favoring which face she likes and doesn't even look at the rest. If you want me to say, this man really has some ability, and he can actually take down the princess. There are even rumors that it may not be long before this man will become the king's sister-in-law!" said the woman in blue with a deliberate low voice, pretending to be mysterious.

......

"Auntie, what do you mean by 'face head'?" Hua Chengcheng asked Aunt Hui in a very curious whisper after hearing the content of the conversation between the two women.

Aunt Hui frowned and replied, "It refers to male pets, and some powerful women keep them at home to please themselves." ”

"Ah, how could a dignified princess of a country do such an immoral thing?"

"Hmph, these palace nobles rely on their own power, and don't they do much to see people's things? But we can't care about these, just listen to them. Aunt Hui snorted coldly, and then stood up: "You sit here for a while, and I'll go to the shopkeeper to inquire about the rules here." ”

"What do you need, this guest officer?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile when he saw Aunt Hui walking towards the counter.

"I want to ask, how much does it cost you to inquire about a piece of news here?" asked Aunt Hui in a thick voice.

"The deposit is five hundred taels of silver, and after paying the money, I will come back to pick up the news three days later, and then pay the balance according to the difficulty of the news. The shopkeeper replied.

Aunt Hui's heart sank immediately, a deposit alone costs five hundred taels of silver, plus the final payment, it is estimated that there is no preparation of one thousand taels and no one even wants to find out. With so much money, where can she get it?

Thinking of this, Aunt Hui frowned and asked again: "Then may I ask the shopkeeper, if you investigate the situation about the Luo Sect, how much will you need?"

The shopkeeper's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at Aunt Hui carefully, and then said slowly: "If it's just an ordinary thing in the sect, you don't need the final payment, if you want to check the affairs of the inner door or even the sect master, you need to prepare another five hundred taels." ”

Aunt Hui said in her heart, sure enough, it seems that if you want to find out something useful, you really have to spend a lot of money. She sighed leisurely in her heart, hugged her fist at the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you shopkeeper." ”

After speaking, Aunt Hui turned around and walked back to her original position, and said to the painting: "Let's go, let's go back." ”

After painting Chengcheng followed Aunt Hui out of the teahouse, he asked, "How is it, Auntie, have you heard anything?"

Aunt Hui shook her head helplessly: "If you want to inquire about the news we need, you have to prepare at least one thousand taels of silver." ”

"What?" "Is there a mistake?

"Be quiet!" Aunt Hui glared at Hua Chengcheng helplessly, they were now on the street, dressed as men again, and such shouting would inevitably attract attention.

"Oh!" the painting stuck out his tongue and quickly shut his mouth. Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Auntie, where are we going to get so much money?"

Aunt Hui sighed: "Since we have come to this place, let's settle down first." In the past two days, my aunt went to the major medical centers to see if there were any medical women. ”

......

It was night, and a strange whistling sound spread throughout the palace, not loud or harsh, and at first glance it sounded like a strange bird's call. But both Cang Wunian and An Ruyue knew that this was a signal from the unique bone flute of the Thousand Machine Pavilion.

In less than a cup of tea, Cang Wunian and An Ruyue both came to a hidden corner of the palace. The signal from the bone flute came from this place, and the two siblings, Hei Kui and Hei Yao, were already waiting for them there.

Except for Cang Wunian, who was still dressed in a moon-white robe, the other three people were all dressed in black, and Hei Yao couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw this: "Young master, you are also ...... It's too blatant. ”

Cang Wunian glanced at her and said lightly, "Say something quickly." ”

"I wonder what clues the young master and the elders have found in the past month?" asked Hei Kui respectfully.

"I didn't find anything useful. I don't know what the situation is on the young master's side. An Ruyue spread her hands and looked at Cang Wunian.

Cang Wunian shook his head slightly: "There is no definite news. I only heard that there is indeed a secret in the royal family of the Wansang Kingdom, but that secret is dictated by the successive monarchs to the successor monarchs before they die. ”

Hei Yao frowned: "That means that Chu Yu is the only one who knows this secret in the entire Wansang Kingdom now?"

Cang Wunian nodded. An Ruyue blinked her eyes a few times, and said nonchalantly: "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be over if you kidnap that Chu Yu and torture him well?"

Hei Kui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it's so simple, we can't wait for us to investigate." ”

An Ruyue looked at Hei Kui puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"

"Although our brother and sister entered the palace as Chu Yu's close guards, they actually rarely had the opportunity to see him. Chu Yu is very cautious, all people and things that approach him must be strictly checked, and Chu Yu himself is not an easy character to deal with, even if my brother and sister join forces, they may not be able to help him. Hei Kui explained.

Hei Yao added at the right time: "The most important thing is that Chu Yu has a very powerful magic weapon on his body, and I don't know which master from outside the world gave it to him." It is said that with that thing by his side, ordinary crooked magic will not work for him. ”

Cang Wunian frowned deeply, he had never thought that the monarch of the human realm would be so difficult to deal with.

"Young master, with all due respect, for the sake of today's plan, I'm afraid the only way to take advantage of the relationship between Xia Roumeng and Chu Yu is ......" Hei Kui said with a little embarrassment.

Cang Wunian naturally understood the meaning of his words, he is now the first face of Princess Wushan, the entire palace and even the entire Wan'an City know that he is a big celebrity in front of Princess Wushan, if he blows the pillow wind on Princess Wushan, with the ambiguous relationship between Chu Yu and Princess Wushan, he may be able to gain something.

But Cang Wunian knew very well that between him and Xia Roumeng, it could only be regarded as an agreement at best. In order not to confirm the relationship between men and women between the two, he even used the delaying tactic of falling in love first and then having sex together, and now if he suddenly mentioned the matter of the royal family's treasure to Xia Roumeng, even if the other party is not suspicious, he may have to pay a price that he does not want to pay.

"I'll do my best. It's just that this Wushan princess is not as simple as it seems on the surface. After thinking about it repeatedly, Cang Wunian finally gave an ambiguous answer.

Even if this matter was settled like this, after the Heikui brothers and sisters left, An Ruyue quietly said to Cang Wunian: "Little prince, Youyuxuan has news, saying that someone went to inquire about the news of the Luo Sect today. ”

"Oh, who is the other party?" Cang Wunian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little energetic.

The shopkeeper said that it was two young men, and the person who came didn't seem to know the rules for asking Qianji Pavilion for information, so he left after asking how many silver taels he needed. An Ruyue replied.

"Man?" Cang Wunian was a little surprised, "Did Youyuxuan send someone over there to keep an eye on those two?"

"No, because the other party is a man, they didn't pay much attention to it. But depending on what they mean, there's a good chance that the two men will come back. An Ruyue replied.

"If you see them again, you have to keep an eye on them. Remember not to startle the snake. Cang Wunian said in a deep voice.
