Chapter 49: Brain Cramps
"Gu Xiaoran, is it King Duan who is competing with you for star pity?" Bai Youlan thought for a while and asked, after all, the relationship between Gu Xiaoran and Luo Mingxuan is not ordinary, and there are many opportunities to deal with this Duan Wang and Lang Yi under Duan Wang, and they should be able to distinguish it.
Gu Xiaoran shook his head and said, "The person who bid is Langyi, but it's hard to say whether the person in the room is Duanwang or not." β
Bai Youlan also nodded, this matter really needs to be verified.
"Where did the prince go, why didn't you see him come out with you?"
Gu Xiaoran spread her hands and said helplessly: "How can I manage Luo, who knows which Qinglou I went to." β
Hearing this, Bai Youlan glared at him, don't think she didn't know, before this, Luo Mingxuan had never been to the Qinglou at all, but this Gu Xiaoran was a frequent visitor to the Qinglou.
Instead, Bai Youlan no longer paid attention to Gu Xiaoran, who was always a little oily and smooth, and looked at Xiangdie, who was smiling and silent on the side. She was very curious about this delicate-looking Xiangdie, and she hoped that the Xiangdie who entered the Fengyu Building could bring back news about her mother.
"Miss Xiangdie, I heard the prince say that you lurked in the Wind and Rain Building, but you found something when you came back this time?"
Xiangdie gave a slight salute and said, "The slave maid can't afford to be called a girl......
It's just that Xiangdie's words haven't finished yet, and the guard's whispered voice came from outside the door: "Princess, the eldest prince of the General's Mansion Gu asks to see you." β
Gu Jingfeng, what is he here to do?
Before Bai Youlan's thoughts turned around, she saw Gu Xiaoran rushing up from the chair and shouting in a panic: "Big brother! It's broken, it's broken, the eldest brother actually found King Jing's Mansion! No, I'm going to hide first. What's that, Xiangdie, you stay in King Jing's Mansion for a while, and I'll leave first. Princess Jing, it's hard to ......" As she spoke, she grabbed the door and fled, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Blinking her eyes, Bai Youlan suddenly understood what was going on, and couldn't help laughing.
This Gu Xiaoran has always been a romantic gentleman in front of people, and it is estimated that he was reprimanded by his father and eldest brother at home. Today, he blatantly competed with others in the Moon Tower for the Oiran, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, but in the end he didn't grab it, but he still took a "Qinglou woman" away.
Besides, Gu Xiaoran actually swaggered through the city and took this Qinglou woman to King Jing's Mansion! This time, it spread among the people of the whole capital, and almost everyone knew that Gu Xiaoran, the second son of the General's Mansion, was defeated in snatching the Oiran in the Moon Tower, and took a Qinglou woman to King Jing's Mansion!
In such a situation, it is strange that the General's Mansion did not send someone to look for Gu Xiaoran.
Bai Youlan held back a smile, sat on the main seat, looked at Gu Jingfeng, whose face was a little blue, and said in a light tone: "I don't know if the eldest prince Gu is coming, but is there something?" It's just unfortunate that the prince is not in the house. β
Gu Jingfeng arched his hand at Bai Youlan and said, "It's really disturbing Princess Jing, Jing Feng came to find the younger brother who didn't make it, I don't know if Princess Jing can call him out?" β
"This, it's also unfortunate that Second Prince Gu is not in King Jing's Mansion."
Gu Jingfeng was slightly surprised when he heard Bai Youlan say this, but then he thought of his brother's temperament, I am afraid that when he heard him coming, he would have run away without a trace.
"Alas!" With a sigh, Gu Jingfeng reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Youlan, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Princess Jing, if there is something wrong with my sister one day, I still hope that Princess Jing has a lot, and I will be very forgiving to her." Jing Feng thanked me in advance! β
As he spoke, Gu Jingfeng shook himself to the end, then straightened up, and without looking at Bai Youlan's expression, he turned around and walked out of King Jing's mansion.
Bai Youlan looked at Gu Jingfeng's back and sneered. What's going on, do you want to get a shot first? So if she refuses to forgive his sister at that time, is she not magnanimous enough?
Turning around the Violet Pavilion, Bai Youlan went to find Xiangdie to inquire about things, but saw that Luo Mingxuan had already returned, and sat there reading a book.
Reading books again, I only heard that this Luo Mingxuan was frail and sickly, but I never heard that this person was still obsessed with books. Bai Youlan muttered to herself, and didn't ask why he disappeared before, but first asked Xiangdie if she had heard or seen her mother.
After listening to Bai Youlan's description, Xiangdie frowned and thought for a while and said, "Back to the princess, the slave maid has not heard of this person in the Wind and Rain Building. β
"Impossible!"
Bai Youlan categorically vetoed, all kinds of signs during this time showed that her mother's condensation was likely to be a person from Fengyulou, at least it was inextricably linked to Fengyulou, how could there be no such person?
The slave dared to ask, I don't know if the princess has a portrait of condensation. Almost everyone in Fengyulou has a code name, and they don't show themselves by their original names. Maybe the slave had seen her, but she didn't know it was her because she didn't use the name Condensation. β
Listening to Xiangdie's analysis was very reasonable, Bai Youlan nodded, turned back to the house and took out a portrait. This portrait was painted by Bai Youlan these days, and although the painting techniques used are different from those of this era, the appearance and characteristics of the people in the painting can be identified at a glance.
It's just that I didn't expect that after Xiangdie looked at the portrait, she still said that she hadn't seen this person.
Bai Youlan frowned slightly, hearing such news, she felt a little unsure of how to start next for a while.
Luo Mingxuan, who was on the side, finally put down the book in his hand and said, "The princess doesn't need to worry. β
Xiangdie also comforted on the side: "When the slave maid entered the Wind and Rain Building, Mrs. Ning Lu was not in the Wind and Rain Building, and the time for the slave and maid to enter the Wind and Rain Building was still short after all, and it was normal for many people not to have contact with it. β
"Hmm," Bai Youlan hummed lightly, looked at Luo Mingxuan and the books in his hand, and asked, "Since it is so difficult for Xiangdie to lurk into the Wind and Rain Building, why don't you make good use of it, but recall her so quickly?" β
Isn't that a pipe drain?
The light in Luo Mingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't speak.
But Xiangdie immediately divided it for him and said, "Princess, you misunderstood the prince." The slave maid came back this time not because the prince recalled her, but because the slave and maid were sent to the capital by Fengyulou. β
It turned out that Xiangdie had been in the wind and rain building for some time, because of its delicate and unobtrusive appearance, but it was clever and flexible, and it was quickly appreciated by the wind and rain building, and gradually approached some core content.
In fact, Xinglian is also a person from Fengyulou, and Fengyulou once gave her an order to try to get close to Gu Xiaoran, and then look for an opportunity to get close to Luo Mingxuan through Gu Xiaoran.
Originally, things were going very smoothly, Gu Xiaoran saw this Xinglian a few times, and was fascinated by her. Of course, this is just the feeling of Xing Piao's side.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaoran hadn't been to Xinglian for many days, as if she had disappeared from the capital, so that Fengyulou wondered if Xinglian had been exposed, so he directed this drama of "throwing hydrangeas and choosing benefactors", which led to Gu Xiaoran.
The owner of the wind and rain building is extremely suspicious and weird, this time he gave Xiangdie the task of monitoring Xinglian, once she has a half rebellious heart, immediately kill her.
The tentative scene of the wind and rain building, Xiangdie quickly passed through the special channel and passed it to Gu Xiaoran, who rushed back to participate in this scene.
And then, I don't know if it's the arrangement of Fengyulou, or if it's really a halfway way to bite the gold, anyway, Gu Xiaoran failed to grab the star pity.
So, Gu Xiaoran took the plan and directly brought Xiangdie back.
I'm afraid that I have always wanted people to enter the wind and rain building in Luo Mingxuan's mansion, and I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing of "crookedly".
"Xiangdie, you follow the princess first." Luo Mingxuan arranged.
"Yes, the slave will do her best to protect the safety of the princess." Xiangdie immediately responded, and then was silent for a while and said, "Lord Wang, hasn't your arrangement been disrupted?" β
Luo Mingxuan originally arranged for Xiangdie to sneak into the Wind and Rain Building in order to control the news on the side of the Wind and Rain Building, but as a result, Xiang Die returned to King Jing's Mansion, and everything Xiang Die did before was not all in vain?
Luo Mingxuan glanced at her and said, "This king is free to arrange." β
The voice was very light and faint, but it was cold and abnormal to Xiangdie's ears, and Xiangdie immediately fell to her knees.
"Heh......" Bai Youlan suddenly smiled, looked at Luo Mingxuan and asked, "Is Xiangdie now the princess's person, at the disposal of the princess?" β
"Naturally."
"That's good." Bai Youlan nodded and said to Xiangdie, who was kneeling on the ground, "Xiangdie, have you heard?" β
Xiangdie didn't know what Bai Youlan was going to do, but her life was originally given by King Jing, whether it was out of gratitude or what, she was naturally obedient to Lord Jing's order.
At that moment, Xiangdie replied obediently: "The slave maid obeys the orders of the princess." β
Bai Youlan smiled again: "Then you remember, from today onwards, you can't bow down to anyone at will without my order, including the prince!" β
Xiangdie didn't expect Bai Youlan to say such a thing, and was a little stunned for a while.
"What? Do you want to disobey me? β
Xiangdie, who was shocked when she heard this, immediately kowtowed and said, "The slave doesn't dare!" β
"Then don't get me up yet!" Bai Youlan shouted, looked at Xiangdie and looked at Luo Mingxuan, and then stood up hesitantly.
Bai Youlan clapped her hands with satisfaction and said, "Okay, should the prince tell me now, when you are sick and weak, the prince runs to the Qinglou, just to help pay for your friends?" Such a reason is naΓ―ve enough! β
Luo Mingxuan was silent, and handed the book in his hand to Bai Youlan.
Bai Youlan took the book suspiciously, but saw that it was a somewhat old medical book, and she was even more puzzled about what Luo Mingxuan meant.
"Rumored," Luo Mingxuan's indifferent voice came softly: "Mochizuki Lou Hua Ying Xing Lian is not only unique in color and art, but also understands the art of Qi Huang, because she has a family medical book. β
"Family heirlooms?" Bai Youlan is still a little puzzled, it's strange enough for a woman in the Qinglou to know medical skills, and there is a family medical book?
"It is rumored in the market that the medical skills in the medical books are extremely effective, and Xinglian, who was originally in a difficult situation, relied on it to cure the old disease of the old bustard in Mochizuki Tower, which was cultivated by the old bustard with all his strength, and finally became an Oiran."
Bai Youlan glanced at the medical book in her hand a few times, and shook her head slightly, roughly speaking, there was nothing peculiar about this medical book. Besides, it was impossible for Luo Mingxuan to go to the Qinglou just for a rumored medical book! Unless he suddenly has a brain cramp!
