Chapter 039: Revealed
Since Qingchen became suspicious of Jin Yan, she has never shown any attitude in front of Jin Yan, she already understands why Jin Yan wants her to compete for Xiao Yi's favor every time, perhaps, this is what Mu Qingjue meant.
deliberately arranged for Jin Yan and Aunt Qiu to be on an errand together, one was Xiao Ling's meticulous work, and the other was Mu Qingjue's eyes and ears, monitoring each other and guarding each other, which saved her a lot of trouble.
"Landlord, what you said is true? How can my subordinates look at it, I didn't see Jinyan like a scheming girl. Zhan Yu stood beside Qingchen, looked at Jin Yan who walked side by side with Huai Jin, and said.
"As long as it's well hidden, no one will see anything, let's find a chance to give it a try, and she'll know. Qingchen said, seeing that Jin Yan had approached, he shook his head slightly.
"The princess said that she was hungry and wanted to eat pastries, so Huai Jin took the slave and maid to work in the kitchen for most of the day, and made a lot of pastries, princess, you can taste them—" Jin Yan put the plate in his hand on the stone table next to him and said.
"Huai Jin is a clever person, unlike you, who can't even do a little needlework. Qingchen smiled at Jin Yan and took a piece of pastry to eat.
"The best thing for a slave or maid is to serve the princess. Jin Yanqiao replied with a smile.
"Jin Yan, hasn't the prince been back for a few days?" Qingchen asked pretending to be careless.
"Yes, why did the princess suddenly ask about the princess? The princess seems to have been more diligent in picking up the star tower these days, and I don't know ...... princess" Jin Yan mentioned this matter, and he was a little unfinished.
"Why don't we go tonight, this palace wants to know what kind of girl the prince has a crush on. Last time, I asked Aunt Qiu to inquire, but I didn't find out anything, but this time I went to the palace in person. Qingchen said, as if he had made up his mind.
"But princess, that kind of place ......" Jin Yan obviously didn't expect Qingchen to say this, a little surprised.
"It's okay, Jiyu, go prepare a few sets of men's clothes, let's go tonight." Qingchen glanced at Grip Yu, who nodded and walked towards the house.
Seeing that Qingchen had decided, Jin Yan didn't say anything, so he had to accept it silently.
Soon it was ten o'clock in the evening, leaving Huai Jin to restrain Aunt Qiu in Luluoju, and Qingchen, who was dressed in men's clothes, took Zhan Yu and Jin Yan towards the Star Picking Tower.
Tomorrow has been ordered by Qingchen to go to the light smoke and green willows, at this moment in the hall to greet the guests is an extremely strange mother, holding Yu without a trace to raise her hand, so that the old bustard can see the things in her hand clearly, but see the old bustard nodded slightly, towards them to greet them:
"This is the first time the guest has come, do you want to find a few girls to drink, or listen to music?"
"Mom, we need a private room, and we can find a few Peugeot girls to come and play the piano and sing songs. Ji Yu said, looking very sophisticated.
"Come on, please go upstairs, the girls will be there soon!" the old bustard shouted, and led the three of them upstairs.
As soon as the three of them sat down, after a while, five or six girls rushed in, sitting around Qingchen and a few people, extremely provocative and gentle.
"I heard that the wine in this Xinglou is all high-quality wine, and my son will try it today to see if the rumors are true. Qingchen smiled, touched the face of the woman next to him, and said, "Pour a few drinks for you-"
When the girls heard this, they smiled and poured wine for Mu Qingchen, Jin Yan and Zhiyu, and snuggled into their arms.
Qingchen was calm, and Zhan Yu didn't feel strange, but Jinyan was a little cramped and uneasy, and kept twisting his body, as if he didn't expect that coming to Qinglou would be such a situation.
"Brother Jin, why don't you drink it?" Come, I'll toast you!" Hold Yu looked like a gentleman, holding the cup in his hand, and said to Jin Yan.
"Childe, where is there anyone who doesn't drink when you come to us? Childe is not the young lady who doesn't go out of the door—" The woman next to her touched Jinyan's face twice and said in a coquettish voice.
Jin Yan was embarrassed, so he had to pick up the wine glass, clink glasses with Ji Yu, and drank all the wine in the cup, but after a while, his face was flushed with a touch of red, and he was delicate.
Qingchen and Zhanyu glanced at each other, the two tacitly turned their heads away, and continued to tease the woman beside them, but after a while, they saw Jinyan looking embarrassed, and said to Qingchen: "Childe, slave...... Small internal urgency, I want to go to make it easier......"
"Ben Gongzi sees that you are too nervous, go, go and come back quickly-" Qingchen shook his head with a smile and waved his hand towards Jinyan.
Jin Yan got approval, got up busily, and rushed towards the door, and the moment Jin Yan went out, Qingchen let go of the woman in his hand and said lightly:
"Go down, for this is your reward. ”
Qingchen's voice fell, and Zhan Yu took out some silver tickets from his sleeve, one for each person, and distributed them to the women, telling them to retreat.
"Don't look at whose place this is? Dare to shout at Lao Tzu, you're impatient—"
At the moment when those women went out and were about to leave, such a fierce voice suddenly came from the door, and then a figure flew into the room from outside the door, slammed in front of Mu Qingchen, and smashed the wine on the table.
Qingchen raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhan Yu, as if asking what was going on, Zhan Yu hurriedly escorted Qingchen to get up, bypassed the person who fell to the ground, and walked to the other side of the room, before he spoke:
"The subordinates just let Hua Niang drugged Jinyan's wine, and did not arrange this one. ”
"Whether it was arranged by Hua Niang or not, we will leave with the situation, so as not to be suspicious. Qingchen said, raised his feet and walked outside.
Grip Yu followed, and the two walked to the side of the stairs, but saw Hua Niang waiting there, saw Mu Qingchen, and slowly spoke: "Let the landlord be frightened, and his subordinates will solve this matter immediately." ”
"Don't look at who the master is? The master's aunt is the person next to the emperor, you kid dare to rob the master?" Qingchen was about to speak, but suddenly heard such a voice, which made her involuntarily look back.
It was a young man in his twenties, with a gentlemanly look and a very arrogant face, but the clothes on his body were not very expensive materials, and even the lines on the satin were fashionable last year.
"Hua Niang, who is he?" Qingchen looked at the man and asked the person behind him.
"He, is the only son of Du Yuan's foreign family, called Du Feiyang, is a master of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, I heard that there is an aunt who works in the palace on an errand and is a confidant of the emperor, so he thought that he was involved with the emperor's relatives and relatives, arrogant and domineering, and could not be lived. Hua Niang said, looking at Du Feiyang's eyes with a hint of disgust.
"Is there an aunt who is a confidant of the emperor?" Qingchen seemed to have a flash in his mind, but he didn't have time to catch it, and spoke again, "Hua Niang, don't worry about today's affairs, let him make trouble, and send someone to investigate this Du Feiyang by the way." ”
"The subordinates obeyed. Hua Niang took a step back, glanced at the guards around her, and motioned for them all to stand back.
Those guards made it look like they were afraid of Na Du Feiyang and didn't dare to step forward, and slowly retreated, leaving Na Du Feiyang alone.
"Brother Du, who in this capital doesn't know your identity? That kid doesn't know whether he lives or dies, don't be like him. Let's go, let's go to Qingfeng Gambling House, bet on two, and a few brothers will be happy-" Another man came out next to him and pulled Du Feiyang to prevent him from hurting people again.
"Hua Niang, I'll leave it to you here. Qingchen glanced at Na Du Feiyang and said to Grip Yu, "Grip Yu, let's go get down to business." ”
"Yes, landlord. Zhan Yu replied, following behind Qingchen, and the two quietly retreated, bypassing the corridor of the Star Picking Tower, turning a corner, and entering another unoccupied room.
"This is the room arranged by Ning Chen?" Qingchen asked.
"Landlord, please look here. As he spoke, he led Mu Qingchen to a painting and removed the painting hanging on the wall, revealing a small hole in the back of the painting.
Then he handed Mu Qingchen a bamboo tube tied to the thread, and motioned Qingchen to put the bamboo tube to his ear and listen carefully. Qingchen took the bamboo tube and did so, but heard a clear conversation coming from the room next to him.
"Isn't Xingxinglou always taking on some business that others dare not do to make a living? What? This business, isn't it that Xingxinglou doesn't dare to take it?" said the man who spoke, with a silver mask on his face and a hint of laziness and contempt in his voice.
Just such a simple sentence made Qingchen recognize this person's voice, Xiao Yi.
"Since Your Excellency has found the Star Picking Building, you must have inquired clearly before coming, the Star Picking Building mainly buys and sells information, and occasionally receives life orders, but you have never checked the case, did Your Excellency find the wrong person?" Ning Chen also wore the same silver mask and said so.
"I'm not wrong, and what I want to do is only something that can be done by Picking Stars. Xiao Yi spoke again, "If you can't do it, then no one in the world can do it." ”
"This matter is very important, the contemptible person cannot completely make the decision, when the contemptible person has asked the lord for instructions, how about giving your Excellency an answer?" Ning Chen pondered for a moment and asked.
"Okay, then I'll come back in three days. ”
Xiao Yi said, led by the subordinates of Tianxinglou, turned around and walked to the secret passage of the room, and left silently, but Ning Chen took off the mask in his hand after Xiao Yi left, and he didn't know what he touched in the room, but he saw a door open on the wall that was originally separated, and Ning Chen walked over.
"Landlord, how is this organ set up?" Ning Chen saw Mu Qingchen and asked.
"Yes, was it your idea?" Qingchen asked.
"It's my idea, but those secret passages are made by Tianjizi, and the secret passages are intricate, and the entrance is not necessarily the exit, which hides people's ears and eyes. Ning Chen replied.
"That person just now, what kind of business did he ask you for? can't even you, the master of the Star Picking Tower, be the master?" Qingchen asked with a smile.
Ning Chen hadn't seen Xiao Yi, so Mu Qingchen didn't say Xiao Yi's name, after all, Xiao Yi was now in obscurity, and it was not yet time to make it public, although Ji Yu had heard Xiao Yi's voice, he didn't hear what was being said in the room next to him, and it wouldn't let Xiao Yi's identity be exposed.
