Chapter 202: The Fifth Lady is straightforward
When the fifth lady heard this, her eyes and willow eyebrows were slightly stunned, and she sneered:
"The little woman thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his concern, since she dared to come out to have fun, she was no longer afraid of this old thing, and she wished that she would wear a few more green hats for him, and she would be angry with him. However, His Royal Highness is visiting the Qinglou late at night, so he is not afraid that tomorrow will become the headline news in the capital, and the talk of the major yamen? β
Between the words, he seemed to hate Cao Qichang to the core.
It's no wonder that she is a princess of the Southern Dynasty, but she has become a plaything on Cao Qichang's bed, and she has no name.
On the surface, there is no worry about food and clothing, and the scenery is infinite, but in the heart, he endures humiliation and suffers from life.
Yuan Zhi smiled indifferently when he heard this, "Lonely Weifu is private, his whereabouts are strictly confidential, no one here knows this prince, and now except for you, the fifth lady of Caofu." β
"Yo... It is said that the crown prince is a true husband who dares to act, but the little woman should kindly remind that there are many people in the imperial city who pay attention to the movements of His Royal Highness, but there are many people, don't think that the secrecy work is done very well, seamless, as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall. The Fifth Lady continued to retort.
Yuan Zhi was stunned, and secretly thought in his heart:
This little lady of Caofu is quite daring to be presumptuous, usually looking at her form is a little turbulent, but I didn't expect that her words are also profligate, yin and yang are weird, and in the face of the crown prince, she doesn't know how to restrain and be in awe.
"Fifth lady, you haven't told me for a long time, what do you want to come to Xiaohong Mansion tonight?"
"Do you want to put on a big green hat for Old Man Cao? Hehe, you don't need to go through so much trouble, and you are too much of a prince, right? β
As he spoke, Yuan Zhi's face narrowed, and he was about to get up and leave.
"Wait, prince!"
The fifth lady snorted, stretched out her soft hand and grabbed Yuan Zhi's big hand.
A gentle tingling sensation spreads through the whole body like an electric current.
Yuan Zhi turned to look at the beautiful woman, his eyes ambiguous.
The fifth lady's face turned crimson, and she immediately withdrew her jade hand and said, "Prince, please sit down, the little woman still has important things to tell Her Highness." β
"Yo... The fifth lady finally wanted to speak, and the prince listened to it. β
Yuan Zhi sat down again, picked up an empty teacup on the coffee table, poured the tea and pushed it in front of her, "Please take a sip of the tea from your hometown and speak slowly." β
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The fifth lady took a sip of the teacup, put it down and said:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are currently in a very dangerous situation."
Yuan Zhi was very displeased when he heard this, and said disapprovingly:
"Fifth lady, you are the lady in charge of the Cao Mansion and a close friend of the queen's mother, Lone has always respected you, but it doesn't mean that you can open your mouth in front of Lone, all unfavorable words against the prince of the prison country can be regarded as disobedience, and national law and etiquette are not tolerated."
The fifth lady was not afraid when she heard this, she smiled indifferently and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too confident, do you think that with the protection of the secret guards and the Qianniu guard by your side, you can sit back and relax? How many people are snooping on the throne on the Jinluan Palace? How many people are watching your every move, although you have cleaned it up a few times, there are still fish that have slipped through the net, hidden deep shadows, and there are still minions who have been bought with a lot of money or controlled by other means, which is not only in the East Palace, Daming Palace, and Funing Palace. β
This remark hit the key point of Yuan Zhi, because this is precisely the shortcoming he is most worried about.
Buying with a lot of money or controlling by means is a common trick used in spy warfare, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
"Please tell the fifth lady to listen to it specifically, this prince will definitely remember your friendship and merits, and he will be rewarded heavily."
When the fifth lady heard this, she grinned and said in a deep voice: "The little woman doesn't want any reward from Her Highness, I'm here to seek cooperation." β
"Cooperation, just up to you?"
Yuan Zhi listened, exclaimed in surprise and almost spit out the tea that was still in his throat.
The tone is not small, it is simply beyond my strength.
"Of course I personally don't have this qualification, but behind me is an organization and an alliance, does the prince recognize this?"
The fifth lady was not angry, she took off a jade pendant from her waist as she spoke, and handed it to the prince.
Yuan Zhi took it and took a closer look, it was a jade pendant carved with the pattern of 'Langya Mountain'.
"This prince is lonely and unheard, I really don't know this, I want to hear about it."
Yuan Zhi returned the jade pendant.
"Have you heard of Jiang Zuomeng?" The fifth lady put away the jade pendant, leaned closer to her face and whispered.
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it, I only know that it is a secret organization established by the remnants of the Southern Dynasty, aiming to restore the old system, and it is a hostile force in the rivers and lakes that the final Jin Dynasty has explicitly ordered to exterminate."
Yuan Zhi paused, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Fifth Madam, aren't you afraid that someone will arrest you and throw you into prison?" β
"You won't, because you are a wise monarch who is good at judging the situation, Jiang Zuomeng and I are currently of use to you, and we just want to seek peace and overthrow the rule of the Yuan royal family, which seems to be a fool's dream at present, so we are constantly adjusting our strategy and correcting the main purpose of the alliance."
The fifth lady spoke calmly and confidently.
Yuan Zhi picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, only took a sip of it, and when he slowly put it down, he made up his mind.
"Okay, Fifth Madam, please have the general information about your rank in Jiangzuo League, how to cooperate, etc., for Gu to consider."
"Refreshing."
The fifth lady felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and she also picked up the teacup and sent it to her lips to hide her micro-expression.
"The little woman is the chief helmsman of the Jiangzuo League, the helmsman of the Jingshi branch of the Jiangzuo League, we are responsible for escorting His Royal Highness the Prince, helping you to eliminate the spies in secret, and successfully crossing the hurdle around the end of the year, as a meeting gift for our first cooperation."
Hehe, does this prince still need to be escorted?
only said the meeting gift, did not talk about the specific conditions, the drunkard did not mean to drink.
"Well, Lone really wants to hear it, what does this hurdle refer to around the end of the year?"
Yuan Zhi strongly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked casually.
"The hurdle that the little woman said is the things that His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother secretly had a tryst in Funing Palace..."
The fifth lady's eyes fluttered, and she said bluntly.
Yuan Zhi was shocked when he heard this, his expression became very grim, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
"Fifth lady, Gu Pingsheng hates being threatened in person, even coerced, the clichΓ©s you overheard from Cao Fu have no impact on this prince, but your life is in danger."
In the face of the prince's aggressive momentum, the fifth lady seemed to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, she stretched out her beautiful jade hand, held the orchid seed, took a sip of tea very elegantly, and said very charmingly:
"It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, Your Highness, please listen carefully, you and the queen's mother's affair, the little woman doesn't have to go to Cao's Mansion to eavesdrop, and no matter how much Cao's Mansion tosses, it is impossible to have results, unless they have the ability to catch the two of you in bed."
This is too blunt, very harsh and ugly.
Yuan Zhi was choked so much that his face couldn't hold back, and his hands were shaking for a while and red for a while.
He hated to overturn the coffee table on the spot, let Ding Jiu and the others rush in, and cut down this hateful.
