Chapter 69: Temptation
Leaving Chu Qiang to Yue Mulin to take care of, the two left the room and found Xiaoqing furious in the courtyard.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with the ninth sister?"
Xiaoqing couldn't bear to see her favorite little sister being tortured like this, so she couldn't wait to find the perpetrator immediately and beat her hard.
"Bring people up." Chu Mohan sat on his shoulder and ordered Tie Yi to bring the ring that served Chu Qiang up.
This girl has been with Xiao Yun since she was a child, and she is very timid. Seeing the three nobles in front of her, she trembled with fright.
"Don't be afraid, my two highnesses and I asked you a few questions just now, and you have to answer them honestly."
Chu Wanxiang is the woman who needs to come for questioning, otherwise Chu Zhan and Chu Yun will be as cold as frost and irritable as fire, and they will be scared to death.
"Yes." The little girl said flatteringly.
"Today, why did the queen punish Princess Anle?"
There must be a reason for punishing the maids in the palace, let alone the princess.
"Back to Princess Ming, the queen said that she would marry the ninth princess to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yunguo. Our princess was unwilling, so I retorted to the queen. The queen was furious and punished the princess to kneel outside the Fengming Palace. Promise not to get out of bed. The little girl told the truth as she knew.
"King Huai. Which prince of Yun. Chu Wanxiang knew intuitively that what the queen was talking about was definitely not the one in the East Palace of Yunguo.
Sure enough, the little girl pouted and said aggrievedly on behalf of the princess: "It's the deposed prince of Huaihe." Your Royal Highness Prince Gong, can you save our princess? The waste prince has been pestering our princess for the past few days. A few days ago, yes, the day before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, our princess was on her way to Hu Yage and was almost despised by the deposed crown prince. Thanks to the help of the guards of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, he escaped this catastrophe. ”
The little girl burst into tears and knelt in front of Xiao Zhan and begged bitterly, but the princess never let her mention this matter because she didn't want to trouble His Royal Highness Prince Gong. But now I have to say. If you don't ask His Royal Highness Prince Gong, the princess will really marry the unreasonable prince of Yunguo. If she really wants to get married, the princess's life will be ruined.
"That bastard." Xiaoqing couldn't sit still for the first time.
The big palm slapped on the stone table, and actually cracked the corner of the stone table.
Chu Mohan's face was not very good. In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with the cases of Leng Yuanxun and Dongfang Shu, and he has less concern for Chu Qiang. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Your Highness, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."
Chu Wanxiang immediately thought of what her uncle told her last time in Zhenbei Houfu.
The Marquis of Zhenbei used to say that the deposed prince of the Yun Kingdom wanted the Bei'an Emperor to marry the Bei'an princess. It seems that Emperor Bei'an also has this intention, and he has already acquiesced.
Otherwise, in broad daylight, how could the deposed prince of the Yun Kingdom dare to be so presumptuous, and actually belittle the princess of a country on the street.
Seeing Chu Wanxiang's serious expression, Chu Zhan knew that what she was talking to him about must be an important matter, so he handed over the girl to Chu Yun to take care of, and followed Chu Wanxiang to the pavilion not far away by himself.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has been deposed by the Yun Kingdom, I'm afraid it's a bit tricky."
Chu Wanxiang told Chu Mohan all the conversations with Zhenbei Hou before. Seeing him bow his head silently, he knew he was thinking, so he waited quietly.
"Looks like we're going to have to talk to that waste prince tonight."
In the evening, Chu Wanxiang changed into men's clothes and followed Chu Mohan to Tingfeng Tower.
Tonight's Yehailou was very lively, and the crowd on the third floor and three floors outside dispersed, and there were many voices of people talking.
"Hey, what's there to be excited about."
"Tonight is a performance of a girl in love, and many dignitaries are waiting to take pictures of her for a night."
"True or false. Miss Zhou Qin has always been a showy person rather than a body, why did she embark on this path today? ”
"There is no woman in a brothel who does not sell herself."
Downstairs, crowded people were discussing enthusiastically, and upstairs, Chu Wanxiang and Chu Zhan were sitting in the private room, opening a small window to observe the situation outside.
"Her Royal Highness the princess, the deposed prince of the Yun Kingdom, is in the second room next door."
Wu Yi carefully reported the situation in the room to Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang.
"Tell the shopkeeper that Zhou Qin must be photographed by the deposed prince."
Zilang was one of the most outstanding spies in his Jade Rabbit Pavilion. The abandoned prince could never have imagined that the Oiran of the Pavilion would be so capable.
"Yes."
"I heard that the prince is suspicious and tyrannical, very similar to Xiao Yun, isn't His Royal Highness worried that Miss Zhongqing will suffer?"
Chu Wanxiang looked at the beautiful woman sitting in the center of the stage holding the pipa and rubbing the porcelain bottle in her hand.
"Does Emperor Ming have any ideas?"
Judging by her appearance, she must have an idea, and Xiao Wu asked her for advice with great interest.
"At this point, I've made a trial potion the other day, but it's easy to obey. It just so happened that no one was going to try this potion. His Royal Highness Prince Gong, do you want to try it? ”“
Handing over the porcelain vase, Chu Wanxiang's eyes were a little cunning.
"It's cheap, the prince of waste."
Chu Mohan took the medicine bottle and handed it to Tie Yi: "Tell Zhou Qin to find a way to let the deposed prince eat this medicine." ”“
"Subordinates obey."
Zhou Qin was sent to the second compartment as planned, and there was an extremely unbridled laughter next door. The laughter didn't last long, and after a while it stopped.
Chu Mohan twisted an inconspicuous teacup on the table, and a mechanical device was touched, and the wall connected to the next door slowly descended and was buried in the ground.
"Double wall." Chu Wanxiang looked at the other exposed wall and muttered.
No wonder this girl's sound insulation is so good. It turned out to be separated by two walls.
Chu Mohan nodded to her with a smile, put his index finger to his lips, and pointed to the thin wall, signaling her not to speak.
"Miss Zhou Qin is worthy of being the courtesan of Yehailou, it is really beautiful."
On the other side of the wall, the slightly drunken voice of the deposed prince was heard.
"But it's still a little worse than that woman......"
After seeing Chu Wanxiang coming from the Royal Garden, he kept thinking about her, always thinking of finding a chance to get a kiss from Xiao Wu.
"May I ask who is the woman, what is Your Highness talking about?" Zhong Qing asked him tentatively, the medicine given by Prince Gong had already been eaten by the deposed prince, and judging by his flustered expression now, it should have worked.
"Hmph. Naturally, the one that Chu Mohan guarded. One day, the prince must have had a good time with the woman. Look at what a woman has. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang's expressions were covered with a layer of ice.
Zhou Qin raised his eyes and looked at the wall behind the abandoned prince, secretly mourning for him.
Although she didn't see Chu Mohan's face, she could already feel the chill coming from the other side of the wall.
