Rui Wangfu, the Beijing grain store, cloth village, money village, gambling house and other shopkeepers stood together, hanging their heads to report the recent operation.

"Lord Wang, the cloth village managed by the villain broke out in a fire the day before yesterday, and tens of thousands of high-quality fabrics were lost, resulting in the failure to send it to the partner on time, and we had to sign the contract in advance on time, and lost a lot of silver, and suffered heavy losses." The shopkeeper of the cloth village finished speaking with fear, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

Huang Fuchen didn't have time to get angry, and then he only listened to the shopkeeper of the gambling house report: "Lord Wang, the gambling house has suddenly come to the gambling house in the past two days, and we have lost more than 100,000 taels of silver in one day, so the gambling house can only close its doors." ”

"Lord Wang, a group of thugs poured into the small grain store yesterday, and the rice in the shop was robbed......

"Lord Wang, in the past few days, many old customers of the money bank have suddenly withdrawn a large number of deposits, resulting in the emptiness of the money bank.

"Lord ......"

"Enough, you are useless one by one, and you can't even run a shop well, this king sees that you are usually too comfortable!" Huang Fuchen was furious, waved his hand and swept the tea cup on the table, only to hear the sound of "pop", several shopkeepers were so frightened that their bodies trembled, and then the tea cup fell into countless pieces on the ground.

"The prince is angry, the ministers are useless, please ask the prince to calm his anger." Several shopkeepers knelt down in unison to plead guilty.

Huang Fuchen looked at the head of the person kneeling on the ground, and his heart was even more angry. The green tendons on his forehead continued to riot, and the big hands clenched into fists made a "creaking" sound. It was a coincidence that all the shops in the capital suffered unexpected losses, which had never happened before. He wouldn't be so stupid as to think that all this was really just a coincidence, he didn't take this loss to heart at all. It's just annoyed that anyone dares to get along with him.

"Have you investigated who did it?" Huang Fuchen held back the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"This ......" The shopkeepers glanced at each other, hesitated for a long time and did not dare to answer.

Is there any? Huang Fuchen suddenly became even more angry.

"Back to the prince, the little one is incompetent, and I haven't found out who is the many." The owner of the rice shop replied in a trembling voice.

"Lord Wang, those few people with excellent gambling skills sent someone to check their details before, but they found nothing." The owner of the gambling house said apprehensively.

"Lord, those thugs look exactly like the hungry people who are causing a famine......"

After Huang Fuchen heard this, his whole face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he resisted the urge to be angry, and asked, "Then what clues have you found?" ”

"Back to the prince, no."

Huang Fuchen's voice instantly became colder, "Then do you have any plans?" ”

"Back to the prince, not yet."

"Rice buckets, all rice buckets!" Huang Fuchen was instantly furious, "You mismanaged, you will be fined half a year's monthly silver from this month, and if there is a slight difference in the future, you will go away." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness." A few shopkeepers suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they could save their lives.

"Don't get out of here!" Huang Fuchen said coldly, and several shopkeepers suddenly retreated in embarrassment.

Huang Fuchen sat there, his expression uncertain for a long time. He's not been your average bad luck lately. He reached out and stroked his forehead, and something suddenly flashed in his mind. Could it be that all this is inseparable from the woman who condensed the smoke?

Immediately, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but laugh at himself for thinking too much of that woman. The shopkeepers of those shops are all carefully selected by him, and those who can hide from the eyes and ears of those shopkeepers must not be ordinary people, and the behind-the-scenes commanders are even more deep and difficult to deal with.

It's never been the case that the store has been in trouble one after another, and in the recent days he has only had a grudge with Shui Ningyan, and now it seems that even if this matter is not Shui Ningyan's doing, it must have something to do with this woman.

Thinking of this, Huang Fuchen's eyes suddenly became deep and unfathomable. Then his lips curled with an inexplicable meaning, and he called the butler in.

"You go to the General's Mansion and send this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet invitation to Shui Ningyan and Mo'er." Huang Fuchen's fingers tapped on the armrest of the soft couch and commanded lightly.

"Huh? Does the prince mean to send it to Miss Ning Yan as well? The butler asked with a look of astonishment.

You must know that the most disgusting thing before the prince was Miss Ning Yan. Now the prince actually said that he wanted to invite Miss Ning Yan to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, which is really too unbelievable.

"What's the problem?"

Huangfu Chen's eyes were slightly cold, and the housekeeper who was so cold that he was thinking about it suddenly came back to his senses, "No, no, the old slave will do it." The words fell, and the butler quickly turned to leave.

Huang Fuchen raised his head slightly, and when his eyes fell on the intricate patterns on the carved beams, the curvature of his lips with interest deepened. Water condenses smoke, I don't know what kind of accident you will bring at the Hundred Flowers Banquet? The king is becoming more and more interested in you.

General's Mansion, Mingyue Pavilion.

"Miss, this is the post of the Hundred Flowers Banquet sent by His Royal Highness King Rui and the Crown Prince." Lime held two beautiful invitations in his hand and handed them to Shui Ningyan.

Shui Ningyan took it and glanced at it lightly, and an unfathomable smile appeared on her delicate face. Originally, she was still thinking about how to get the invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but she didn't expect that someone would send it to her door. A few maids suddenly chirped like magpies, chattering non-stop.

"Miss, you must make a splash at the Hundred Flowers Banquet this time, so that those who once looked down on you can open their eyes wide."

"Miss, you have to work hard to practice your talent these two days."

"Miss, the slave maid will go and ask Madame to see if the clothes to be worn at the Hundred Flowers Banquet are ready."

"Miss, the second miss only received one invitation, but I didn't expect you to receive two at once, it's really amazing."

Shui Ningyan smiled faintly and said, "Miss, I didn't participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet to compete with others. ”

Several maids were stunned when they heard this, and immediately asked, "Why is that young lady?" ”

"Divorce." Shui Ningyan replied cleanly.

As soon as these words came out, several maids were dumbfounded.

"Miss, you don't have to think about it anymore, although His Royal Highness King Rui was sorry for you before, but he took the initiative to send someone to send an invitation today, which shows that he still has affection for Miss. Miss may wish to think again. After Lime persuaded her, the other three girls nodded in agreement.

Shui Ningyan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and asked, "How do you know that he sent me an invitation because of affection, maybe he wanted to see me make a fool of myself at the Hundred Flowers Banquet." ”

"This ......"

After hearing this, the four maids immediately felt that what their young lady seemed to have some truth in what they said. Although King Rui is very outstanding, King Rui seems to have made a private agreement with Miss Er for life, and the twisted melon is not sweet, if King Rui has no intention of Miss, even if Miss joins the palace, she will not be happy in the future.

"No matter what decision the young lady makes, the slave maid only hopes that the young lady can be truly happy. The slave will always support the young lady. The four girls said sincerely.

Shui Ningyan smiled faintly, but his heart was moved.

Shifting Flower Palace.

Mu Tingge sat upright in front of Yaoqin, and the music poured out from her fingers like water. A bright red brocade robe lined his skin like congealed fat and his eyebrows were picturesque, but at this moment, there was a trace of sorrow lingering between his eyebrows.

"Palace Master, it's late at night, and you still haven't rested?"

When Liu Zhu came in from outside, it happened to be a song, and Mu Qingge sat there motionless. A hint of distress flashed in Liuzhu's eyes.

"I've been suffering from insomnia for the past two days." Mu Tingge said, reached out and rubbed his temples, and said with a light smile, "There seem to be a lot of wrinkles at the corners of my eyes." Sure enough, the years are urging people to get old! ”

"No, the palace master is not old at all, and he doesn't have a single white hair on his head. The palace master is the first beauty in the world, how can he be old? Liuzhu shook his head and replied respectfully.

Mu Tingge got up, walked to the window and smiled, obviously smiling like a flower, but it made people feel a little lonely.

"What about the first beauty in the world, but I can't change him to look at me more." Mu Qinge's voice was extremely small, and before Liu Zhu could hear it clearly, it had already been swallowed by the night breeze from the window.

Liuzhu remembered what was going on, and immediately replied: "Palace master, the slave maid has already inquired, Shui Ningyan will be in the hospital from tomorrow." ”

"yes, got it." Mu Qinge's voice couldn't hear joy and anger.

Liu Zhu asked with some concern: "Why does the palace master want to patronize the medical hall opened by Shui Ningyan, are you sick?" ”

Mu Qinge didn't answer, and Liu Zhu immediately said to himself, "No, according to the friendship between the palace master and Prince Situ, the palace master should let Prince Situ be diagnosed and treated when he is sick." ”

Then, only to hear Liuzhu disdainfully said: "Shui Ningyan is notorious, and the slave really doesn't believe in her medical skills." ”

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and ordered, "Take me to the medical hall of Shui Ningyan tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the slave knows." Liuzhu replied.

She wanted to ask her master more things, but seeing the exhaustion between her master's eyebrows, Liuzhu had no choice but to retreat silently.

In the hall, the red clothes are rippling, the elegance is unparalleled, Mu Tingge stood there quietly, Ruyu's face was a little more lonely, and for a long time in the hall only remembered a trace of inaudible sound.

"Tomorrow's Japanese Palace wants to see what kind of woman can even move Shaogong's stone heart."

Early the next morning.

On the busiest street in Beijing, a crowd of onlookers crowded in front of a newly opened medical center called Anhetang.

"Hey, what do you think this medical hall is a lie! You see, the proclamation actually said that it can cure more than 20 terminal diseases such as tumors, tuberculosis, and leprosy. Is this true or not? ”

"I even said that the consultation fee starts at 10,000 taels, so expensive!" "If you can't pay the consultation fee, you can sign a master-servant agreement, which sounds good."

"It also said that the person who opened this medical hall is a disciple of the Holy Lord of the Four Directions, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"I haven't heard that the Holy Lord of the Four Directions has ever had a disciple!"

"That only means that you are unheard. If people dare to say that they are the descendants of the Holy Lord of the Four Directions, that should be true. Otherwise who would have the guts to impersonate? ”

"It seems to make some sense to say that. I've heard that the Holy Lord of the Four Directions is not only excellent in medicine, but also in martial arts. No one should dare to offend the Holy Lord of the Quartet, right? ”
