Chapter 44: Acting in a play with the king

"What did you say?"

Luo Yao was shocked and got up and looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan sat there without changing his face, raised his eyes coldly and said, "As long as you help this king this time, this king will give you 10,000 taels and let you move out of the abandoned courtyard, how about it?" ”

He asked Luo Yao to take him back to the palace, and announced that the king was seriously ill, and wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and take the opportunity to find out the real culprit behind the assassination of him.

asked Luo Yao to cooperate with him in this play, which was actually a test of Luo Yao and wanted to know who she was.

"But I still have very important things to do in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Luo Yao said.

She also wants to get back Lan Qin's inheritance and find out the real cause of Lan Qin's death.

"Give you half a day, deal with the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we'll leave tonight."

"Half a day?" Luo Yao's eyes widened, "When did I promise you?" ”

"Didn't you just say, 'I'll do you anything,' doesn't that mean a promise?" Xiao Yan asked rhetorically.

Luo Yao was speechless for a while, and after pondering and understanding, she suddenly looked at Xiao Yan with a sudden understanding.

"You want me to help you find the murderer who injured you, do you?"

"Hmm." Xiao Yan didn't hide it.

She sat down with her arms folded, leaned closer to him, and asked, "I helped you so much, and you gave me so much benefit?" ”

He frowned in displeasure, "What more do you want?" ”

"I want to reconcile."

Finally, he had a request for himself, and it was best to take the opportunity to shoot and scatter.

Xiao Yan glanced at her, "Didn't you just say that you didn't mention and leave, only mentioned money?" ”

"I won't let you regret it, but won't I regret it?"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly, got up and walked back, and lay back on the bed without saying a word.

She hurried to the bedside and asked condescendingly, "What do you mean?" ”

"This king doesn't need your help."

There are many opportunities to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and test her, and he will never agree to leave, so let her go.

"Really?"

Xiao Yan turned sideways, his back to her, unwilling to pay attention to her anymore.

She looked at Xiao Yan's back in confusion, and asked the confusion in her heart, "You were reluctant to marry me at the beginning, and it was rare to have a chance to reconcile, why did you refuse several times?" ”

Xiao Yan lay on his side without moving, without replying.

She couldn't help but get closer, and asked, "You don't say you hate me, but you actually like me in your heart, right?" ”

"Huh!" Xiao Yan snorted coldly, "Look in the mirror more, you won't say such things." ”

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yan didn't reply again.

"I can't be regarded as a country and a city, and I am also a rare beauty in the world, at least better than your Liu Yinyin."

Xiao Yan ignored him.

After being angry for a long time, Luo Yao finally remembered that she still had something to do, and said to Xiao Yan again: "You lie down and recuperate by yourself, I have to go out today." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly turned around and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"What? Reluctant to let me go? ”

Xiao Yan glanced at her angrily, he was not reluctant to let her go, but he wanted to know her whereabouts well, so as not to let her secretly meet anyone again.

"You are not allowed to go." Xiao Yan ordered.

"I don't need your approval for where I'm going."

"The king will not let you go."

Luo Yao "cut", took his words as a deaf ear, turned around and walked to the table, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

She was afraid that if she left, Xiaoxue would come again, so she had to send the dishes and chopsticks to Xiaoxue.

Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "You're leaving, what if someone comes?" ”

"I'm not going to let people come."

"You ......"

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to finish speaking, Luo Yao took the dishes and chopsticks and left the room, in order to prevent someone from coming, she specially took a lock and locked the door.

Perfect!

Not long after Luo Yao left, Wuxian entered the house through the window.

Traceless respectfully landed on one knee, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”

"There was an ambush on the road."

"Who did it?"

Xiao Yan handed the arrow at the head of the bed to Traceless, and Traceless saw the origin of this arrow at a glance, "This is a three-edged arrow that only exists in the forbidden army of the palace." ”

"That's right."

"The eldest prince has just taken over the forbidden army, could it be him?" Leave no trace asked.

"The king has already thought of a way to lure the snake out of the hole."

After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at Wuji, "Luo Yao is out, you go to find her, follow her, this king wants to know where she went and what she did." ”

"Yes."

……

Luo Yao went to several stores under the names of Shu Qing's two younger brothers.

Shu Qing's second brother is called Shu Tianyu, and there are several ready-to-wear shops with good business under his name, and the third brother Shu Tianlai has several cloth shops under his name.

She concealed her identity and chatted with the guys in the store for a few words, and learned that Shu Tianyu and Shu Tianlai rarely come to the store, and every time they came to the store, they seemed to be coping, explained to the shopkeeper, and left in a hurry.

If the proprietor doesn't come, it's too late for the shopkeeper and the guys to be happy, so naturally they won't ask more.

The store under the name of the two has been operating in this way for so many years.

Luo Yao heard that the two brothers of the Shu family liked to go to Yale Fang to listen to music and drink the most on weekdays, so she decided to go to Yale Fang to meet the two.

After all, the place is a place for men to have fun, and women are too eye-catching to enter.

Luo Yao found a place to change into black men's clothes, tied up her hair, and walked into the Aleca with a folding fan.

As soon as she entered, a wine glass fell from the sky and fell at her feet.

Glancing at the broken wine glass at her feet, she looked up at the second floor, where a drunken man poked his head out with a girl in his arms.

"Wine glass, where's my wine glass?"

Luo Yao frowned slightly, too lazy to take care of this drunkard, and just as she was about to go inside, the owner Wu Sanniang greeted her with an apologetic face.

"I'm sorry! I almost hit my son. ”

"Nothing."

The largest music workshop in Pingdu, the floor of the hall is covered with carpets painted with various musical instruments, and the columns are carved with the graceful figures of various women.

The hall is square, with two small floors on all sides, and the upper floors are private rooms for people's enjoyment, and even if you stand in the hall, you can faintly hear the movement of the upper floors.

It's a great place to indulge in sensuality.

After Luo Yao looked around, her eyes fell on Wu Sanniang, "You are the owner here?" ”

Wu Sanniang bowed to her slightly, and said, "My name is Wu Sanniang, and I am the owner of Yale Fang. ”

"Let's open a separate room!"

If you say bluntly that you are looking for someone, I am afraid that you will be hindered by Wu Sanniang, so let's open a private room first, and then slowly find someone!

"Okay, Childe, please come with me."

Wu Sanniang smiled and led her to a staircase and led her to a private room on the second floor.

"What do you want to hear today? I'll arrange it for Childe. ”

She didn't really come to listen to the music, so she casually said, "Let's pipa!" ”

"Childe, I'll arrange it later."

After Wu Sanniang left, she also left the private room, one private room after another, looking for the whereabouts of the two Shu brothers.

She looked around, and finally came to the private room in the corner of the second floor, and listened to the girl in the room, one by one, Shu Dagongzi, Shu Ergongzi shouted, sure that the two brothers of the Shu family were here.

She wanted to open the crack in the door to look closely, but accidentally pushed the door open, and immediately a questioning voice came from inside.

"Who's there?"

Just when Luo Yao was panicking, someone dragged her out of the door in time.
