Chapter 16: Suspected to be a woman
After Liu Rumei was taken away, Su Qingcang suddenly sighed as if he was more than ten years old, and turned to Liu Ruoxi to speak.
"Before you get married, go to the ancestral hall to think about it, and you can't come out without my permission."
A play ends.
At night, Su Tingcheng stood in front of the window and looked at the full moon overhead, full of emotion.
In her previous life, the dowry left by her mother had always been secretly hidden by Liu Rumei's mother and daughter.
She didn't even react when Ye Yutai appeared by her side.
"What is the princess thinking so distractedly?"
Su Chengcheng was frightened by the sudden voice, "It's nothing, I'm going back to the Yunan Palace, I'm just a little reluctant." ”
Ye Yutai didn't continue to ask, turned around and went to bed, he became more and more puzzled by Su Chengcheng.
Every time point is pinched just right, the fire burns inexplicably, and although the smoke is large, Fu Yi said that the fire is not even burning.
So the next person was also arranged by her in advance.
In today's play, Su Chengcheng sang very well.
In the past few days, Su Chengcheng has slept in the side room of the house, only separated by a wall from Ye Yutai.
After Su Chengcheng lay down, she thought that she would not be able to sleep for a long time, because she was tormented by a headache a few days ago.
The strange thing is that in the past few days since she returned to Su Mansion, the frequency of her headaches has become lower and lower, and she has slept more and more soundly.
She just thought it was because she was home.
After a while she fell asleep and had no dreams all night.
Early in the morning of the second day, Su Chengcheng and Ye Yutai set off to return to the palace of the southern king.
As soon as Su Tingcheng returned to the Royal South Palace, he went to find Wuya.
Ye Yutai went to the study, and in the past few days of his absence, the secret letters sent by the shadow guard have been piled up into a mountain waiting for him to deal with.
Fu Yi took a letter to Ye Yutai, "There are eyebrows, the mysterious person next to Su Chengcheng." ”
Ye Yutai didn't rush to open it, he first picked up the teacup and took a sip, and after opening it, he almost took a sip of tea and sprayed it on Fu Yi's face.
There are five big words on the letter: it is suspected to be a woman.
Fu looked at His Highness who was choked, and patted him on the back intimately, "Your Highness be careful." ”
"This is the Shadow Guard's recent probing ability? It seems that I was too negligent in discipline, so I went to the fire prison to confess my guilt. ”
Fu Yi has to accept his fate to receive the punishment, he can't be blamed for this, that mysterious person is too difficult to investigate......
At this time, Wu Ya, who was "suspected of being a woman", was already alive, and when she saw Su Chengcheng coming back, she couldn't help but complain, "You're finally back, I'm so bored that I thought of a way to break the formation of troops on the other side of the mine, take a look." ”
Su Qingcheng was surprised, and frowned after listening to Wu Ya's words, "This is indeed a good method, but I can't do it alone." ”
Wu Ya thought for a moment, "Indeed, this is not something that one or two people can succeed in, or you will also use your gold mine to raise a soldier?" Maybe we can fight it. ”
Su Qingcheng lightly slapped Wu Ya, "What do you want." ”
"Just kidding, look at you so serious." Wu Ya smiled, "You can actually consider asking Ye Yutai for help, his strength is unfathomable, maybe he can help you." ”
Ye Yutai's leg disease was injured by a poisoned arrow by the Qiang Army two years ago, and he searched for famous doctors in Nanye but died of illness.
As soon as Su Chengcheng's words came out, Ye Yutai's suspicion reached the extreme. He stepped forward and cornered Su Chengcheng, reaching out to pinch her chin.
Ye Yutai's pair of narrow phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the sharp outline of the arc was smeared with a faint alienation and indifference.
"I advise you not to tempt me with this."
Su Chengcheng slapped Ye Yutai's hand away, and dodged sideways to keep a safe distance from him.
"I didn't lie to you, if I want to cooperate with the prince, I will show my sincerity, I just hope that the prince will give me a chance."
Ye Yutai looked at Su Qingcheng, her eyes were firm, her eyes were deep, and she was unpredictable.
Ye Yutai froze, "What do you want?" ”
Su Tingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that when Ye Yutai asked this sentence, it meant that there was hope that she could negotiate conditions with him.
"I thought you knew it the last time you gave you the sheepskin map."
Ye Yutai pretended to be stupid, "It's not very clear, the princess might as well elaborate." ”
Su Qingcheng looked at the courtyard, looking around, only the flowers and birds were shadows, the east wind blew down a few peach blossoms, and the last trace of good memories of Fu Xingzhou in her heart was also blown away.
"I want the prince to help me, it's not time to help with anything, as a condition of cooperation, I will help the prince treat his leg disease."
Ye Yutai didn't answer, as if he was thinking.
"The prince can think slowly, and the concubine will retire first." Su Chengcheng bowed and left.
A light rain suddenly came, falling on the eaves.
"Go get me two nightclothes." Su Qingcheng looked at the gradually darkening sky and commanded Wu Ya.
When night fell, Su Qingcheng and Wu Ya put on their night clothes and slipped out quietly through the back door of the Royal South Palace.
They shuttled through the streets of the capital, and finally stopped in front of a dry well behind a pillar of incense.
"What is this?" Wu Ya looked at this well, which was much larger than the mouth of an ordinary dry well, and asked Su Chengcheng, who had brought her here.
"Just go in and know, put the mask on."
As he spoke, Su Qingcheng turned over and went into the well, which seemed to be a bottomless black well, but there was actually a climbing ladder, and the wooden staircase creaked with the footsteps of the two.
After walking to the bottom of the well, there is a wooden door with the words "Gambling House at the bottom of the well".
Wu Ya was shocked, "This is actually a gambling house!" ”
"It's Fu Xingzhou's, and after that gold mine is dug up, very few can be directly exchanged for currency circulation, because if the amount is large, people will be suspicious."
Wuya reacted, "So this gambling house is ......"
Su Qingcheng pushed the door open and continued Wu Ya's words, "Yes, it was used to exchange gold for circulating currency for him." ”
In the door, the candles are bright, where is this gambling house, it is clearly an underground gambling city.
Noticing the arrival of the two, a little man wearing a white mask immediately came to greet them.
"Whether the two distinguished guests are 'betting' guests or 'watching' guests, the small one will show you the way."
Wu Ya, who couldn't understand anything, pretended to be profound, and waited for Su Qingcheng to speak.
"'See' guests, come to see the true face of the immortal in the well."
After that, Su Chengcheng handed a bag of silver to the little guy generously, the little guy was obviously a person who had seen a big scene, and the ordinary little guy had already smiled when he saw so much silver.
And the little guy in front of him didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked up at the two of them, "The two of them are living people, so they can only go to the lobby, can you accept it?" ”
After Su Tingcheng nodded, the little servant took the silver and led them to the depths.
After arranging their places, the little servant left.
"Fu Xingzhou can, this place looks similar to the teahouse on the ground." Wuya said after looking around.
"What's more, there are still things here that are not available in the above-ground teahouse." As soon as Su Chengcheng's voice fell, the candles were all extinguished.
