Chapter 171: Walking in the Water

Liu Yuechan saw her stunned, and she also knew in her heart that this matter must not be a trivial matter in her heart, after all, she had been spreading rumors with Fu Zichen before, and Fu Zichen even took something to the door to marry her......

"But this is also what I heard, whether it is him or not, I have to say twice. You also know how unreliable my father is, besides, he is a horse manager, and the news he inquires about may be other people's gossip, and he can't be true at all. ”

Haitang shook her head, "Yuechan, you can't underestimate your father." ”

She called Yixiu and asked Yixiu to prepare some pastries, and she didn't say that she wanted to put them on the table, but asked Liu Yuechan to take them back to eat. Liu Yuechan was a little unhappy, "Sister, are you driving me away?" ”

She smiled, "I won't let you go, it's just that I still have something to do, and I can't keep you anymore." ”

Yixiu filled a box full of the pastries that Begonia usually likes to eat, and Begonia took it and sent it to Liu Yuechan. "You take it back and bring it to your father and mother to taste, the craftsmanship is definitely not as good as your mother's, but it is still good."

Liu Yuechan didn't want to take it, so Haitang sent it to her again. After she held it steady, Begonia was not in a hurry to let go. "Did you hear Yin Ze's words just now? When you go back, remember to ask your mother to write a letter, saying that you will remember to add clothes when it is cold. Lord Liu doesn't grow up in the capital, so he has to take care of his body. Well? ”

The slight tone of the tone made Liu Yuechan suddenly sober up, she grabbed the food box in her hand and nodded cautiously.

Haitang let go and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "Go back quickly, don't come over in the future." See you at the New Year's Palace banquet. ”

Liu Yuechan's eyes were red, and before her tears fell, Haitang instructed Yixiu again, "Aunt Yixiu, you call a carriage and send Miss Liu back to the house." ”

"No need, I'll go back by myself."

After saying this sentence with a crying voice, Liu Yuechan left with the food box. Yixiu asked her: "Miss, do you want the slave to follow you to send it?" ”

She sighed: "No need, Liu's Mansion is not far away." ”

As Begonia entered the house, Yixiu couldn't help but ask, "Miss, is it okay to make a fuss today?" ”

"It's okay, you don't have to worry."

Yixiu wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't calm down, and asked: "Miss, what are you doing in Chengwang's Mansion?" In the past few days, you always have to close the door and take a nap, are you secretly going to the Chengwang Mansion without telling the slaves? ”

"Well, I went to King Cheng's Mansion." Haitang replied frankly, "Go learn some children's arts, so as not to embarrass the Prime Minister's Mansion at the palace banquet." ”

"If you want to learn art, why go to Chengwangfu, there are many capable people outside. Besides, you can't let Miss sing and dance alone, write and paint at the palace banquet, other young ladies can't wait to squeeze their heads and rush up, maybe Miss will sit and watch the excitement at that time. ”

"Aunt Yixiu." Haitang smiled bitterly, "Do you think I can sit and watch the excitement?" I don't have any skills, so I won't be bullied when the time comes? Your grandfather doesn't care about me, I can't let people bully me in vain. ”

Yixiu's eyes were slightly red, and she clutched her handkerchief tightly. "How did Xiangye become like this, he was obviously not like this when Madame was there before."

Haitang patted her shoulder, "I'm going to go out for a while, Aunt Yixiu, you cover it for me." ”

Since Yixiu already knew that she was always running away, she simply said it bluntly, so that it would be more convenient for Yixiu to help out.

was about to go out, but Huo Starling came over without thinking. Begonia didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but raised his eyelids when he entered the door, and never looked at him again.

"Is there anything else missing in this house? Shall I ask someone to make it up for you? ”

"I heard Yixiu say that you have been practicing calligraphy for the past few days, how are you practicing? Take it for me to see. ”

"Liu Fulun's daughter came over just now? You've known her before? ”

Haitang turned from the window and looked at him for a moment, "I was tried by Lord Liang alone just now, and I still have a comrade, Daddy, do you know?" ”

Something flashed in Huo Xing's eyes, and before he could speak, Haitang said again: "I just beat Jin Zisong, and Lord Liang brought someone over again, saying that he wanted to arrest me, have you heard of it?" ”

Looking at his increasingly ugly face, Haitang said: "I'm still wondering, why I was tried and arrested, why didn't you react at all, Daddy, and later others told me that this Lord Liang was a distant relative of Qian Guifei." No wonder, Jing Zhaoyin did such a thankless job with such a majestic style, and he didn't care about Xiangye's face at all. ”

Her voice gradually cooled down, "Is it Daddy, you trust Concubine Qian too much, and feel that the relationship between you and the Fifth Prince Concubine Qian Guifei is too close, so Lord Liang will definitely not embarrass me?" Or is it because this matter is explained by the emperor, so you have to enforce the law impartially and not for personal gain, so it is difficult to make a move? ”

She sneered: "Daddy, are you solving your daughter's doubts?" ”

Huo Starling finally moved his lower lip, "I didn't know he dared to ......"

"Do you think Lord Liang will definitely not embarrass me?" She didn't seem to be smiling, she couldn't see any emotion on her face, and Huo Xing's disappointment and anger were all gone. "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter didn't embarrass him, so it won't be difficult for you."

Huo Xing looked at her and suddenly let out a long sigh. "Xihua, being a father is also a last resort."

Haitang bowed his head and was silent, Huo Starling just stood there, the two of them didn't say a word for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room was depressing and boring.

"Xihua, if it's ......" Huo Xing's words paused for a long time, so long that Haitang thought he didn't want to say it, so he continued to speak slowly and heavily: "That's it, I'll talk about it later." I've been walking for a while and I can't stop...... No, there's no way to stop. ”

Until Huo Starling left, Haitang's ears could still hear his heavy sigh.

"Miss, do you still want to go out? It's going to be dark any later. ”

Begonia glanced outside, and it was getting late. She thought for a moment, "Then I won't go today." ”

That being said, but after the sky completely sank, she quietly slipped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and rushed all the way to the gambling house.

"It's out of the water!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"O iniquity! I don't know how many rich and poor gamblers in this gambling house will die. ”

"The emperor just lifted the curfew yesterday, but I didn't expect an accident today......"

Begonia looked at the red in the sky, and her heart suddenly tightened.

That's where the casino is headed!

She hurried over, and when she arrived, the whole gambling house was burned down to a wooden shelf. The fire was so great that even the shops and houses next to it were affected......

"Ouch, miserable, miserable! None of the people here seem to have escaped. ”

"This gambling house has always had a good business, and I don't know if there are any rich families and official families tonight......"

"Get out of the way! Someone from the government is here! ”

I don't know who shouted, and the onlookers invariably stepped back, and Begonia was also squeezed back. The people from the government stood in front and looked at it, shook their heads and said, "No, the fire is too big to extinguish, so I can only try to keep the house next to it......"

The wooden shelves collapsed, and a wave of heat rushed in the face, splashing sparks like stars in the night sky.

The crowd shouted in amazement, and then squeezed back a little. Begonia's two ears roared instantly, and his eyes were full of those flying sparks.

"I have long said that there are no good people who open gambling houses, and how many people have been harmed by gambling money, this is bad retribution. Why don't you burn this gambling house if you don't burn it? ”

"I'm afraid that the fifth master inside has offended people......"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Haitang's mind, and when she woke up, she quickly searched the crowd, and she never let go of everyone's appearance. But after reading it several times, she still couldn't find the man who tried her tricks during the day today......

She didn't believe that the gambling house would burn for no reason. The fifth master is such a cautious person, and the people under him dare not be careless. Even a little spark won't burn the house like this in a short period of time. Besides, there are people in the gambling house, and it is impossible for so many people to go unnoticed...... Impossible......

The fire was too big, and the government at the feet of the Son of Heaven was afraid that it would hurt the people and make it difficult to explain, so they sent someone to send a crowd of onlookers to join in the fun. Yu Guang saw two men staring at the fire in the distance, and Haitang recognized these two people at a glance as the people who were doing things in front of the fifth master, and ran over without hesitation.

"You ran out of there?"

The two of them obviously recognized Begonia's identity, and shook their heads with the surprise in their eyes. "No, we've just returned to the capital."

"You're not in the casino?"

"The fifth master asked us to go to the Meng family in Liangzhou to ask for money, and I just came back at this time, but I didn't expect the gambling house to be ......" One of the Chinese characters asked urgently: "Childe, did the brothers escape inside?" ”

Haitang looked around vigilantly, and said to the two people: "You two have divided all the silver, go home, and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

The two men both heard the danger in her words, and then looked at the gambling house with a wooden shelf over there, and suddenly understood in their hearts.

I'm afraid that this fire was deliberately done by someone!

After ordering the two to leave quickly, Haitang hurried all the way to Chengwang's Mansion, and when she landed over the wall, she immediately stabbed her with a fierce cold sword, but after seeing her identity, she hurriedly put away the sword, hugged her fists and said forgiveness. Haitang had no intention of delaying, and was in a hurry to see the old prince. The secret guard who stopped him shouted to him: "The princess is looking for the little prince or the old prince?" ”

Regardless of his title, Haitang only threw down three words, "East study." ”

"The old prince and the little prince are not in the house, and they just left half an hour ago."

"Absent?" Begonia paused, "Where did they go?" ”

The dark guard was a little embarrassed, "My subordinates don't know. ”

She thought for a moment, "What about the old princess?" ”

"The old princess also went out after the old prince and the little prince left, and Aunt Li went with her."

Haitang's heart sank, and he firmly believed that the person he saw today was Xiahou Xunmu. She gritted her teeth, "After the little prince comes back, let him come to me quickly." ”

She turned out of the Chengwang Mansion, thought about it, turned around again, and went towards the Fu family.
