Since the agreement with Xie Yao, Chu Lixue has been staying in the mansion and has not been to any storefront, and she wants the maids in the family to spread the word that the princess wants to expand her business, and is planning to cooperate with Murong Villa to open more branches.

In fact, these are not lies, the owner of Murong Shaozhuang had discussed with Chu Lixue about partnership business before, and Chu Lixue was not seen for a few days, and everyone guessed that Princess Chen was going to join forces with Murong Villa to do business this time.

Naturally, the people don't know the prestige of Murong Villa, and they simply think that it is a very rich family, but the people in the court and the rivers and lakes know more about this Murong Villa.

Although Murong Villa is a gang in the rivers and lakes, they have always had their own business, and this time they chose Princess Chen, presumably because they fell in love with Princess Chen's smart mind and keen eyes.

was worried about how to inquire about Cuiying Ruan's family, and now there was an opportunity, Murong Lingxiang actually visited King Chen's mansion, and said by name that he wanted to see Princess Chen.

Chu Lixue didn't let anyone stop her, but just sent Ning Xiang and this girl who didn't know martial arts to greet her, Chu Lixue naturally couldn't entertain a big man in her own Xiaoxiang Garden, so she had to send someone to lead Murong Lingxiang to the hall and sit down.

Bai Ruyan and Bai Bingyu seemed to have been discussed, but in just a moment, the two of them also appeared in the hall, and Murong Lingxiang originally planned to leave.

But he is a guest of King Chen's Mansion, to be precise, Chu Lixue's guest, as for the two side concubines of the Bai family, he naturally doesn't have to pay attention to it, just give Chu Lixue a little time, with her intelligence, she can naturally drive these two uninvited guests away.

"The princess has opened so many shops, have you ever thought about opening a jewelry store?" Murong Lingxiang broke the deadlock and said.

"A jewelry store?" Chu Lixue asked rhetorically. She did think about opening a jewelry store, but she didn't know much about jade or anything, and it was only a fragment, so the idea of opening a jewelry store was temporarily shelved.

However, now Murong Lingxiang looked at Chu Lixue with a smile that seemed to be unintentional but seemed to be intentional: "There is no need for the princess to worry about this, I am responsible for the location of the store and everything, the princess just needs to think about how to run it." ”

"That's really great, I don't know where Master Murong Shaozhuang plans to open a store?" Chu Lixue continued to ask.

The conversation between the two was nothing more than the location of the store, what kind of products were sold, and what to do when it opened, etc., and the two sisters of the Bai family were drowsy when they listened.

Seeing that the two of them had already fallen asleep on the back of the chair, Chu Lixue softly called their handmaidens and asked them to carry their masters back.

After the two of them left, Murong Lingxiang turned to the topic, "I also plan to open a store in Cui Cinema City that mainly sells jade. ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue was slightly stunned, this Murong Lingxiang also wanted to go to Cui Cinema to open a store, and he didn't know whether he really wanted to go there to open a store, or if he wanted to help himself have a good excuse.

After discussing with King Chen and preparing a lot of things, Chu Lixue and Murong Lingxiang went to Cui Cinema City to investigate first, and on the day of departure, Shen Yue hurriedly ran over and wrote a letter to Chu Lixue, saying that as long as he handed it over to his parents, he would be very safe in Cui Cinema.

Shen Yue's words made Chu Lixue feel very uncomfortable when she heard it, the whole world is not the king's land, how can there be no handwritten letter from his Shen family's son, and it will be dangerous to go to Cui Studios? It seems that this Emerald Cinema is not as simple as she imagined, and Longtan Tiger's Den may not be it.

The group drove on the road mightily, and after walking for a few days, Chu Lixue had never lived in a decent place, and finally came to Nanjun, which was still half a day away from Cui Cinema, how could Chu Lixue not take a good bubble bath and then sleep well.

Just when Chu Lixue had just finished bathing and changed her clothes, she heard a chaotic sound outside, and was about to ask what was going on, when Wanyue walked back briskly from outside the door.

"Princess, no, the inn where we live has been fenced off." Wanyue said solemnly.

In addition to doing business in Cui Cinema this time, there is naturally a matter of investigation, Chu Lixue and the others have not revealed their identities, and everyone has been very cautious to call Chu Lixue the shopkeeper Ling, not to mention, she is still dressed in men's clothes, and the only person who knows her true identity is Murong Lingxiang.

I heard that the post station where I lived was surrounded in a good way, and anyone who gave it would want to find out, and Chu Lixue's people were naturally no exception.

"Wanyue, are you saying that the inn where we live is surrounded by people? So what about the owner of Murong Shao? Is he just going to be surrounded like this? Ning Xiang said unhappily.

Before going out, he had repeatedly promised the prince that he would not put the princess in danger, but now it seems that it is impossible.

Wanyue looked at Ning Xiang, then looked at Chu Lixue, and then lowered her head and remained silent. Seeing this, Chu Lixue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said coldly: "Are the officers and soldiers surrounding us?" ”

Hearing this, Wanyue suddenly raised her head, the princess was so smart that she could guess it like this, "Yes, princess, it is the officers and soldiers who surround us, and the lord of Murong Shaozhuang said that this trip will not reveal his identity, so the secret guards can't make a move." ”

"Well, it was done right. Dare to surround the inn, maybe the other party just wants to test our identity, it seems that the news of our coming to Emerald Studios has been revealed. Chu Lixue said lightly.

"What? The news is revealed? How is this possible, this matter has been spread widely, but what the prince said is that the princess is planning to go to Jiangnan to choose silk, who will know that we have come to Cui Studios. Ning Xiang wondered.

Immediately, she suddenly realized, by the way, aren't there still two Bai family members in the palace? Those two people are not fuel-efficient lamps, could it be that they found out that the direction of the princess's walking is not Jiangnan, and passed on the news?

Chu Lixue looked at Ning Xiang's contemplative appearance and said with a smile, "It's not the two white mice in the family, it's Shen Yue." ”

"Shen Yue?" Everyone shouted when they heard this, how could it be Shen Yue? No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like the kind of person who can hurt people.

"Princess, how could it be Shen Yue?" Rean Xue wondered.

"This is very simple, what we told everyone was to go to Jiangnan to buy silk, but Shen Yue came with a letter, telling the concubine that if something happened in Cui Ying City, he could give the letter to his parents, and then the concubine would stay smoothly. Just because he knew that our destination was Emerald Studios, he was very suspicious. ”

After listening to Chu Lixue's analysis, several people couldn't help but nodded, this Shen Gongzi is really a powerful character, looking at such an unruly person, it turned out to be this vicious villain.

"Rean Xue, you go and tell the owner of Murong Zhuang, let's not reveal our identity, Wanyue, you continue to keep an eye on it, if there is any situation, come back and report to me in time."

Chu Lixue was very sure that the other party was simply tempting, if she knew that they were the ones to wait, then what was waiting for them would either be a banquet or be slaughtered by them. The city lord also has a few thousand soldiers and horses, but they only have less than a hundred people, not to mention those soldiers with spears, even those archers hiding in the shadows can shoot them into a hornet's nest.

In the courtyard, Murong Lingxiang stood in the middle in a royal blue robe, looking at a group of officers and soldiers, pretending to be scared, "Official, official, this is the one that is sung, the little one is going to go to Cui Cinema to buy some jade for jewelry business, you want to ......"

"Have you seen four women, one of whom is extremely beautiful?" A middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Chu Lixue heard very clearly in the room, the four women, they really came for her, she was still in women's clothes before she went out, and after she left the city, she changed into men's clothes in the carriage, no wonder this leading officer and soldier didn't know that women could also pretend to be men.

"Woman? In this barren mountain and wilderness, where are there any women, the little one came with a few guys, and I heard a businessman surnamed Jia say that it was the jade of Jade Studios, so I came. Murong Lingxiang said resignedly.

Chu Lixue didn't expect that the handsome Murong Shaozhuang owner turned out to be a master of acting, it is good for a big husband to be able to bend and stretch, but he showed the appearance of a small businessman to the fullest.

When these officers and soldiers saw Murong Lingxiang's shitty appearance, they couldn't help but wave their hands and let him get out of the way, "Deputy Commander, otherwise, let's check every room, if we can really find out, maybe we can't find it." "Someone has already made a plan.

"No, when I came out, the city lord explained, don't break in to check, if that person has really come to Emerald Studios, how can there be no master to protect in secret? If the other party is alerted, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to fall to our side. ”

Hehe, I see, these people came to arrest Chu Lixue, or to find it, all to help their side compete for the throne more powerfully, but for this Shen Rui, if Chu Lixue agrees to help them, then she is naturally safe, but if she doesn't agree, then Chu Lixue will be arrested as a bargaining chip, and when the time comes, it can be regarded as having some capital to talk to King Chen.

"Deputy Commander, this can't be checked, can't it be done to let the brothers keep vigil for them in the courtyard?" One of the soldiers said displeased.

"You kid knows a fart, if that one is really there and offends her, do you think King Chen, who is far away in Cloud City, will let you go? Since he dared to let his princess come to such a remote place, he must have made all the arrangements, and I heard that the princess is from the Valley of the Medicine King, and she has poison and poison powder on her body all day long, if you want to die, you can go in and check, don't blame me for not reminding you. The Commander was displeased.

Hearing this, the soldier didn't say anything more, just sighed and retreated unwillingly.
