Chapter 73 New Concubine (1)

"My lord, Mr. Yang is still staying in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't go to the West as rumored." Zhuo Yuan half-kneeled on the ground and reported in a low voice.

"As expected." Ning Yuyao stared at the book on the table without raising his head, "Now that he is old, he will not take such a big risk to go to the West again."

Zhuo Yuan agreed, and continued, "My subordinates also found out that there seemed to be several masters in the frontier fortress who were about to make a move, and they had the intention of uniting to resist Yang Sanye. One of them, who sold gold silk charcoal, seemed to come out of nowhere. Appeared in between, a little suspicious."

"Charcoal sellers?" Ning Yuyao raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Yuan, "There are charcoal sellers all over the street, how can they be compared with other businesses?"

"Their family only sells high-quality gold silk charcoal, which is of excellent quality, and my subordinates have heard that Mr. Yang has not paid much attention to these businesses recently, and seems to want to make a big move on salt, so the charcoal seller Seize this opportunity and snatch all of Mr. Yang's former regular customers."

Ning Yuyao smiled and put down the book in his hand, "Interesting, this king would like to meet the master behind them, so smart, he must not be an ordinary person."

"My subordinates have already inquired about it." Zhuo Yuan immediately showed a smile on his face, "I heard that the shopkeeper is a rather handsome scholar."

"Oh?" He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Scholar would have such a good ability?"

The smile on Zhuo Yuan's face deepened, and he said with deep meaning, "My lord, did you report to the lord a while ago that the one who saved the princess was a scholar?"

"You mean..." He was startled, stood up involuntarily, and stared at Zhuo Yuan in surprise.

"Whether it is true or not, the prince needs to go and identify it himself."

He pushed away the seat behind him, walked slowly in front of Zhuo Yuan, then paced back and forth in front of him, and finally stopped in front of the door after a while.

"No, this king can't go. It's not a good time. She will only bring her death if she comes back now." He hesitated, "Pei Caiwei is still in the mansion, and Xia Yuanxi hasn't started to make any big moves yet, so we can't let her go now." return……"

"But the prince still needs to go to confirm. The subordinates are not sure that the princess is the master behind it." Zhuo Yuan couldn't understand Ning Yuyao's eagerness to see Pei Yuyan, and suggested with a smile, "Just go Look, this subordinate can arrange someone to stay nearby to protect the princess."

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden bang, thump, and a crisp sound outside the door.

Ning Yuyao's eyes froze, and he immediately opened the door, only to see Xia Yuanxi standing outside the door with a look of astonishment on his face, without knowing that a cup of boiled chicken soup was poured on his feet.

"Why are you here?" He breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a cold voice.

"I...the concubine thought that I had never made anything for the prince myself, so I went to the kitchen and boiled a pot of chicken soup and delivered it myself." She stammered, then hurriedly lowered her body to pick up the bowl that fell on the ground, "I'm going to serve another bowl!"

He said he was going to go back in a hurry.

A hand immediately grabbed her icy wrist, "No need, you don't have to be so real in acting, just let her see what you did."

His cold words were like a cold snake, slowly swimming into her heart, making her shiver all over.

"She really didn't die, did she?" She turned her back to him and asked in a low voice.

"Do you want her to die?" Ning Yuyao sneered, "If she dies, Pei Caiwei will be crushed by you, and then you will become a legitimate princess. You are so careful, you really think that this king can't see it. out."

The hand around her wrist became tighter and tighter, and she exclaimed in pain, and was thrown to the ground in the next second.
