Morbid pet

Jiangnan.

When Changle got off the boat, the people waiting on both sides of the boat opened a hole. Ye Zhizhou walked out of the team in white and fat, wearing green clothes and a hairpin that was so green that it turned purple on his head. It was too much. Changle took one look and didn't want to look at it a second time. He quickly moved his eyes away and fell on the little girl following him.

The little girl has a bright appearance and is the same age group as her own children.

Ye Zhizhou took two steps forward and said attentively: "Auntie, you are coming, and you didn't even inform me in advance. It was because His Majesty's letter yesterday came to say that you should be arriving, so I ran over here non-stop. Oops, it really made me anxious. ”

Changle laughed heartily, "You've already retired, don't worry about me. I'm going to trouble you with something this time."

Ye Zhizhou looked back with understanding, and suddenly a man in black walked out of the crowd. His skin had turned gloomy white under Daming's pampering.An Ying's eyes were full of blue and black, and his whole person's dejected aura was nowhere to be seen.

Changle lost his voice and said, "An Ying, why are you like this? Who bullied you?"

Ye Zhizhou was chattering beside him: "Queen, who dares! Who doesn't know that An Ying is the prince of Northern Xinjiang, and there is a relationship like yours in it. Except for the King of Heaven, who in the Ming Dynasty dares to mess with him?"

Changle frowned and glanced at Ye Zhizhou, dissing him for talking too much.

Chang Le pulled An Ying toward the carriage, "An Ying, please speak. I'm here. I'm Chang Le. Have you forgotten me? Why are you pretending to be a fool?"

An Ying shook his head and said sadly: "Changle, Chu Chu, why are you here?"

Changle looked around and found that many people around her were looking at them. She had long been used to being watched by many people, so she didn't care. But An Ying's current state left her with no choice but to worry about them. He plugged into the carriage and quickly got in. He hoped that today's incident would not spread to Xie Zhao's ears and become the queen's secret meeting with her husband in the south of the Yangtze River.

Changle was still worried. She saw that An Ying didn't look normal at all. She asked, "Answer me first. Were you the direct cause of the oiran's death?"

When An Ying heard the oiran's words, her eyes dimmed again, "No. Yun Niang ate a lot of beauty pills and she died. I didn't know that she died. The formula of the beauty pills was obviously made by me, and the ingredients are all safe." , everyone is eating it, why will she die after eating it? If there is something wrong with the beauty pills now, what should we do? Chu Chu, what should we do? I can only apologize with death. "

Changle immediately scolded him, "Why do you want to die to apologize? Can you be normal at your young age? Let's talk about it one by one. How many beauty pills did you give Yun Niang?"

An Ying didn't think twice and said decisively: "360 pieces."

Changle nodded, "The official recommendation of Beauty Pills is to take up to two pills a day. Have you told her?"

An Ying thought for a moment, "I told you, but maybe she didn't listen."

Changle didn't forget to joke at this time, "It's yours, good boy. One beauty pill is now sold for 20 taels of silver. You gave away tens of millions of silver as soon as you made the move. Are you happy to spend thousands of gold on a beauty?"

An Ying's stiff face finally relaxed a little, and he frowned and said, "Don't laugh at me, Chu Chu. I know the value of the Beauty Pill, and even its cost, but it doesn't cost more than one tael of silver, so I just gave it away. , I didn’t feel anything. But Yun Niang didn’t know it. After a few days of taking it, she saw the effect, and she started eating like crazy every day. The effect of this thing is very good, but if you eat too much, it turns out that people will die, and so did I. Just known."

Changle thought for a while and said, "Since you have figured it out yourself, why can't you get out?"

An Ying smiled bitterly: "Chu Chu, that is a living human life, human life. Our population in northern Xinjiang is sparse. I rarely see dead people. In fact, the people there are not so bad. Too many things have happened recently. , tired together, I feel like my breathing is suffocating, I really want to get drunk and never wake up."

Chang Le sighed inconspicuously: "An Ying, is escape the solution? We have to face it and solve it, right?"

An Ying nodded: "Yes, we need to solve it. Yun Niang is an orphan, without a father or a mother. She comes in a hurry and leaves in a hurry. How can I repay her debt?"

Changle actually has a very weak concept of human life. The death of many small people is inevitable. She cannot and cannot stop the process of history, so now she can't even say a word of comfort, and those cramped words have become a blockage. A thorn in her heart.

"An Ying, we now need to level the understanding that Yun Niang's death was indirectly caused by you, but you are definitely not the one who caused her death, understand? She couldn't control her desire and greed, and she wanted to be short-term. She could get better and bigger returns in a short period of time, but in the end it was backlashed. It has nothing to do with you and the product Beauty Pill. If you think about it, she bought it for 20 taels a pill with her own money. Do you think she will still eat the beauty pills so crazily? She won’t, because for an ordinary person, 20 taels of silver may be enough to eat for several years. Even if she is an oiran, she has a lot of money. It’s easy, and it’s unlikely that she would spend so much money on it.”

"Another problem is that Beauty Pills still lack publicity."

"This product has not been developed for ordinary people to buy, so there has been no publicity before, and the noble ladies have spread it themselves. Although the effect is good, people like Jiangnan Courtesan have only heard about it a little bit. When she suddenly gets too much in one day, she will be backlashed by desire. We have not correctly conveyed a value and there are potential safety issues with beauty pills."

An Ying suddenly woke up. The carriage had arrived.

"Chu Chu, I understand. It's better to expose the case of Yun Niang's death and tell everyone that you can't take too many beauty pills."

Changle shook his head: "It will affect the public opinion in the market. You can't control it. You can't do it like this. I came here just to solve this matter. Yun Niang died by herself. She died of alcoholism and not from taking too many beauty pills. She His death has nothing to do with the beauty pills we sell, have you remembered?"

An Ying didn't know the twists and turns among Ming politicians, so he just said straightforwardly: "Why?"

Changle: "Just do it. We reached an agreement at the beginning. You will make your product and I will handle the operation. So don't ask any more questions. I will explain it to you again when I have the chance."

An Ying got off the carriage and said, "Okay."

This is the mansion purchased by Xie Zhao himself. Even An Ying is here for the first time. Before he came to Jiangnan, he always lived in the Tianzi No. [-] room in the inn. However, no matter how top-notch the inn, it still pales in comparison to the real mansion. Quite a few.

Changle didn't know that Xie Zhao had purchased real estate in Jiangnan in order to make herself happy. She stepped forward, followed by An Ying. He said warmly: "Chu Chu, I'm sorry, but I asked you to make a special trip to help me. I can actually handle this matter myself."

Changle didn't say anything. Those words of concern seemed to be barren in the face of real support. "Just do your own thing well. When this matter is over, I will take you back to Chang'an City. Remember, you Chang'an City There is still a group of family and friends waiting for you to go back. Don't just seek death and live a life just because of a woman. You will live a useless life, I will look down on you."

An Ying's throat suddenly choked up, tears filled her eyes, and her Adam's apple rolled up and down with excitement, "What virtue can I have?" I met you.

Those three words at the end.

He didn't say it.

Changle didn't ask.

Everyone's tacit understanding is silent.Chang Le tightened An Ying's hand, "Because you are worth it, and I also hope that one day I encounter a hurdle that I can't overcome and you can help me." She looked at An Ying with sincere eyes.

An Ying knew that she had made the right bet this time when she came to Daming. It was not because of the 5000 million investment money given by Chang Le, but because of Chang Le, who was much more valuable than 5000 million.An Ying couldn't help but said with red eyes: "Chu Chu, I will help you overcome the hurdles you can't overcome."

Changle was amused by her, her bright eyes and white teeth were so beautiful. "good!!"
-
The next day.

Ye Zhizhou took Chang'an to meet the current prefect, Lingmen.

Lingmen was a capital official before and was later transferred here. When he was in Chang'an City, he often heard of Changle's reputation, so he was extremely enthusiastic when they met. Also, the Queen is here, the only master of the harem, and this country has the surname of Ming Dynasty. Where is Li.

Who dares to disrespect?

Changle had had enough of those people's eagerness, so he had been very calm, which meant that he would only get a little excited when things happened about Yun Niang.

Ye Zhizhou: "Empress, the case of Yun Niang has been settled, but everyone in Hongxiu Tower knows what happened to Yun Niang's death. Now there is quite a commotion on the market, and your beauty pills are also in circulation. In the hands of the family members of Jiangnan’s top elites, we have never taken any action before, but now that you are here, how will you deal with it?"

Chang Le's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long while, he said softly: "You hear what I mean clearly and just do it. Yun Niang accidentally fell or fell from the building because of drinking that night. Okay, but he didn’t die from accidentally taking the beauty pill, understand?”

Lingmen cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I understand. Thank you for your guidance."

Chang Le raised his beautiful pupils and looked at Ling Men, and said warmly: "Well, then go ahead and do it, don't hurt anyone."

Lingmen gained the last confidence, and looked at Chang Le with more sincerity. "receive."

Although Ye Zhizhou no longer serves in the government, he is still very concerned about political affairs. It's not that he is a good person, it's just that he is too leisurely after retirement and has nothing serious to do in a day.So if you have nothing to do, run to Lingmen.

Changle didn't want to say more to them and was about to leave immediately.

Ye Zhizhou wanted to accompany her to play in the afternoon, and everything had been arranged, but Chang Le refused directly: "I want to talk to An Ying, you don't need to worry about me, just go ahead."

"Do things well." Changle instructed.

Ye Zhizhou nodded and did not ask further questions, "Okay, Madam, please take care of yourself."

Chang Le nodded and was escorted away by the Jinyi guards. In a pure black low-key carriage, Chang Le leaned on the soft cushions with An Ying beside him. Both of them were unusually silent along the way.

No one broke the silence.
-
Qingyun Temple.

Under the majestic golden Buddha statue, incense lingers and floats out continuously, and the entire hall is filled with the scent of sandalwood.

Changle had never thought that she would be so lucky to come to a place like this to burn incense and pray. She looked up, with a slight arc at the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be nostalgic.

An Ying reached out and held her cold fingers, and whispered awkwardly: "We will be fine."

Changle lowered his eyelids, "Let's go."

The two knelt down devoutly, kowtowed three times, and then turned and left.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard a loud noise, "Help, it's killing someone."

Changle frowned, "Is there a murderer in a place like this?"

An Ying tightened her hand and said, "Let's hide for a while. This is a Buddhist holy land after all. It's always wrong for us to rush in."

Changle nodded, "You're right, then go to the side hall."

There is an Eight Immortals table and four chairs in the side hall. There are fruits and pastries on the table. The two of them sit down and eat slowly. Changle eats slowly and has an elegant manner. You can tell at a glance that he is a wealthy family. A lady brought up by others.

An Ying devoured his food and looked eager. The two looked at each other, and An Ying couldn't help but ask, "Are you hungry?"

Changle shook her head: "No." She thought these pastries were quite unpalatable.

After An Ying had eaten and drank enough, he wiped his mouth, looked at Chang Le's face for a moment, and asked softly: "You have lost weight."

Changle touched her pointed chin, "Really?" She didn't feel it herself, but An Ying's feeling should be right, right?
"Well, I've lost weight. If you don't like the food here, I'll have someone take you back."

Changle shook his head, "No need, I've been busy with Yun Niang's affairs during this period. Whenever I have time to go out and play, I can just stay here for a few days."

An Ying nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. I came to you today to tell you that I bought the Hongxiu Building. From now on, I will send someone to check the accounts every month. If I find If the problem is solved, I will make improvements in time and strive to improve the business of Hongxiu Tower as soon as possible."

Chang Le nodded, "Okay."

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man came in, wearing a navy blue robe and a jade belt around his waist. He looked smart and capable.

"Chen Lingmen has met the Queen and Prince An Ying."

"No courtesy." Changle looked at the people in Lingmen, "Prefect Lingmen, what's the matter?"

Lingmen almost waited for Chang Le to leave before quickly chasing him out on horseback. What happened was indescribable.
