hot little concubine

Chapter 162 Missing Someone
"My lord, there's news from the palace." Director Li stood at the door and said softly.

Murong Jinxi withdrew his gaze, and still put his hand on the old book, as if he was touching a treasure: "What could be the matter? Now the emperor seems to be a different person, regardless of the frontier or the people's livelihood, General Situ has been demoted by him again and again, A treacherous person holds financial power in his hands, he is obsessed with power, if it weren't for me, my younger brother, who has no intention of going to court, maybe he would be charged with some other crimes."

Mr. Li looked at the person in the door. Since four years ago, only Nanny Tong and the prince could enter this room. After leaving the concubine, there were three orders from the palace to inquire about the crime, and he hummed and let it go.

It's not that Mr. Li doesn't know about the Gu family's affairs. He retired from the head of the secret guard. He was always in charge of this area before. Now that the prince looks like this, he wants to just look at the Murong family's situation or change of owner or It was Yi's surname, and even the daughter of the Gu family ignored it, because it was just a thought in his heart.

Sighing from the bottom of his heart, Director Li said softly at the door: "There is news from the palace that Yaowanggu has sent a peerless expert to enter the palace to steal the holy lotus. Your Majesty wants the prince to come into the palace. Anyway, this sacred lotus flower is also somewhat related to the Shepherd's Spoon Feast."

After finishing speaking, Manager Li stood respectfully at the door, waiting for the movement inside.Inside the door, Murong Jinxi was leaning on the couch, his black hair dragging along the soft couch to the floor, as if he didn't know anything, he picked up the plum blossom wine and smelt it, after all, he was unwilling to drink it: "This is the last thing she left behind. It's a pot, Madam Tong, take it and seal it, if she doesn't come back, this king will never drink plum blossom wine in this life, this plum blossom wine will be regarded as her, and it will be placed in my coffin after my king dies."

Mr. Li sighed, and finally couldn't help but said: "My lord, why bother, our people haven't been able to get in, maybe the empress is waiting for the lord to save her."

"Haha...haha..." A line of tears rolled down the corners of Murong Jinxi's eyes: "The result of knowing it is nothing but self-deception. Go on, this king is sleepy, and this king's Yanyan is the most picky, She definitely doesn't want others to disturb her quietness. As for the affairs in the palace, since they belong to the palace, what does it have to do with me?"

Manager Li retreated in a low voice, and his footsteps on the bluestone slab in Lengyuan made a faint tap sound. This is the only bluestone slab in the entire Longxi Palace. Even in the rainy season, there is no trace of moss on the bluestone slab here. The people who live here seem to have to clean the house at any time and wait for others to return.

In the outer courtyard, Chu San in a red robe was standing on the threshold. He saw Manager Li approaching from a long distance away. Looking at his appearance, he knew what the result would be, but he still had [-]% hope and said expectantly: " What does the prince say?"

"Master Chu already knows what the prince is thinking, so why bother to ask?"

Chu San sat down on the chair with his ass, picked up the cup on the table, and wanted to smash it against the opposite wall, but he lifted it up halfway, but put it down with a dejected expression: "My lord, he really wants to spend his whole life in the cold courtyard. Can't come out?"

"Master Chu, you also know that if there is no news of Concubine Ping, the prince will not leave the cold courtyard for a day. If there is no news that Concubine Ping is alive, the prince will not ask about world affairs."

Chu San understands all these reasons, but just because he understands it, it doesn’t mean he can accept it. He slumped on the chair and said, “There is movement in the Yihua Pavilion. It is said that the owner of the pavilion has just changed, and Yaowanggu is going to Beijing again. Stealing the holy lotus, there are so many things, I am just a errand runner, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't solve so many things?" Chu San was very helpless.

Prince Longxi ignores world affairs, and his identity as Prince Longxi's follower has been exposed again. Even the Chu family has sent people to look for him time and time again. Isn't it because of his relationship with Prince Longxi? He and Mr. Li are taking care of everything in the palace, and Yihua Pavilion was born again. The matter really cannot be solved by his illegitimate son.

"Director Li, do you think the Yihua Pavilion is really here to steal the holy lotus or is it just for fun?" Chu San asked puzzledly. These matters should not be resolved by him and Director Li in the end.

Manager Li pondered for a moment: "Yihua Pavilion is not a reckless person. Now that such news spreads before people enter Beijing, it is likely to be fraudulent. I am afraid that they will never find out where the holy lotus is."

Chu San also nodded: "To be honest, I don't know where the holy lotus is hidden. After the shepherd's spoon feast, His Majesty sent the hidden guards around him to take away the holy lotus. Even the prince doesn't know where it is hidden. place, but we think so, Your Majesty doesn't think so, I'm afraid His Majesty really wants to move the holy lotus as Yihua Pavilion wished, I always have a bad feeling that this holy lotus will definitely It was stolen by Yihua Pavilion."

As soon as the words fell, Manager Li said worriedly: "What should we do, we have a bad waist and find a way to remind the Holy Mountain?"

Chu San shook his head: "No, I have reliable information. This Yihua Pavilion has an extraordinary relationship with Yaowanggu. If we rashly offend Yihua Pavilion and Qiu Zihua gets mad at that time, it is not something we can handle. The prince is the same as before, we naturally won't be afraid of it moving the flower pavilion, but the prince doesn't care about anything, it's too bad for us."

Manager Li tilted his head and looked at Chu San: "What does Mr. Yi Chu mean?"

"We just pretend we don't know anything, and we can ask people in the palace to help Yihua Pavilion when necessary. I always feel that Yihua Pavilion's trick is very familiar, like someone we are familiar with, but I just can't remember it for the time being. , you don’t need to worry, anyway, Yihua Pavilion and us have always been in the water without interfering with the river, and no one can hinder the other. Since it is something that Yihua Pavilion is eager to ask for, there is no need for us to stop it, right? "

Director Li nodded: "That's the only way to go. Eunuch Lu is still waiting in front. I'll go and talk to him. It's not easy to offend people in the palace. If the prince understands one day and comes out of the cold courtyard, It’s not necessary yet.”

Chu San nodded, but his brain was really hurting, he was devastated because of the Longxi Prince's mansion, but the Lord was in the house mourning the autumn and the spring, but who made him the one who ran the errands?With a flash, a red figure came out of Prince Longxi's mansion.

In Shengjingli, in an unremarkable restaurant, Ning Yanxue was dressed in men's clothes, sitting by the window like a man: "Little Er, serve a pot of good tea."

"Okay, wait a moment, guest officer, I'll come here."

Ming Hanyue, who was sitting next to Ning Yanxue, stared at the busy street below, narrowing her eyes slightly: "Master, there has been news from the palace. Lord Longxi refused, which is good news for us."

Ning Yanxue nodded: "Murong Jinxi is a famous general on the battlefield, not to mention his superb kung fu, even his talent and strategy are beyond the reach of ordinary people, plus I was so crazy that I left him a cabinet Lost military books and strategies, I am afraid that he is not the same as he was back then. If he does not show up, it is our best chance. The man in the palace will definitely move his position. We only need to find out where he is, and we will be able to stay out of sight. Feel like stealing things out."

There is a cabinet of military books, which are still lost. Ming Hanyue only felt a few drops of sweat dripping down his forehead, and stretched out his hand to wipe off the sweat that didn't exist. Ming Hanyue said with a troubled face: "Master, you know There are so many military books, I will teach my subordinates anytime."

Ning Yanxue looked at Ming Hanyue curiously: "Are you interested in marching and fighting?"

Ming Hanyue shook her head: "But my subordinates are interested in strategies. Master, you think, if your subordinates use military strategies to deal with others, then they will be invincible!" Ming Hanyue said excitedly, with that appearance It was as if he had really become the number one strategist in the world.

Now it's Ning Yanxue's turn to sweat: "Eh... I think you're pretty good now, really, besides, you don't need to be sophisticated to find a woman."

Ming Hanyue still looked confused, but was soon interrupted by Xiao Er's delivery of tea. Seeing the so-called good tea served by Xiao Er, Ming Hanyue frowned: "Is this your good tea?"

Xiao Er struggled and said: "The best tea in Donghuang comes from the Yunwu Tea in the fiefdom of Lord Longxi. Now that Lord Longxi has been indifferent for many years, the Yunwu tea is even monopolized by the royal family. Let alone a small shop like ours. Even Prime Minister Chu and Taiwei’s family can’t drink this cloud and mist tea.”

Ning Yanxue frowned: "What do you say? As far as I know, although this Yunwu tea is delicious, it is not rare. Even the production in the previous year was enough for everyone in Shengjing."

Xiaoer sighed: "Guest officer, you don't know. In the past, when Yunwu tea was more delicious, it was Prince Longxi who directly took over his fiefdom. In addition, Prince Longxi was not the kind of person who is obsessed with interests. Shengjing People who have some relationship and status can naturally get a share, but they can't get the top Yunwu tea, but they can still get some. But now, because Lord Longxi doesn't care matter, his fiefdom is managed by the above."

Speaking of this, Xiaoer looked around and saw no one around, so he said in a low voice: "Now this cloud and mist tea can only be drunk by the one above, except for that one, even the empress does not have a sip .”

Ning Yanxue was surprised. According to reason, it shouldn't be like this. She was lucky enough to meet Murong Yu twice back then. Seeing that Murong Yu is not such a talent, she took out a coin from her sleeve: "If you answer again I have a question, this one is yours."

Xiaoer smiled and stuffed the money into his waist: "What kind of money is not money? It's not good to talk about it. If there is anything the guest officer wants to know, just ask the younger one."

Ning Yanxue smiled: "It's not a big deal, I just want to know the situation in Shengjing, so that I can hang out in Shengjing in the future."

Xiaoer looked at Ning Yanxue and the two happily: "Guest officer, just ask."

Ning Yanxue winked at Ming Hanyue, and Ming Hanyue said indifferently, "Who is more powerful in this Shengjing now? Who is more effective?"

As soon as Xiao Er heard it, he immediately became excited: "Speaking of this guest officer, you can be regarded as asking someone. Now in Shengjing, the most effective person to speak is the newly appointed Minister of the Household Department. This Minister of the Household Department, He was a Jinshi from Qiuwei a few years ago, but for some reason, he fell into the eyes of the emperor. He first mentioned the Minister of the Household Department, and married Princess An to him. Now he is the son-in-law who lives in the Princess Mansion. "

Ming Hanyue raised his eyebrows: "How did the Minister of the Household Department catch His Majesty's eyes like this?"

Asked about this, Xiao Er was even more interested, and moved a stool to sit on it: "As soon as you heard this question from the guest officers, you knew that you were not from Shengjing. He has been awarded Jinshi for several years, but Lord Longxi felt that this person's attitude towards money was not suitable for an official, so it was useless. Who knew that Lord Longxi didn't care about Shengjing's affairs, so His Majesty promoted this person. First he worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then in less than three months, Zhou Shoucai caught the handle of the former Minister of the Household Department, and that person was dismissed from his official position by His Majesty, and he was thrown back to his hometown. .”
