The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 348

"Have you seen it?" Gu Changgeng asked.

Lin Qingqian put away her own thoughts, unwilling to say more, said: "Earlier, Yingxue and I walked the wrong way in the palace, it was Roucai who pointed out the way for us two, and we met once again after that."

Gu Changgeng frowned slightly, Lin Qingqian guessed that he wanted to ask Wen Fengnian.

She said: "Brother Chang Geng, can you pretend that you didn't see what happened today?"

Gu Changgeng: "Yes."

While the two were talking, Lin Qingqian pretended to mention the assassinated man in black inadvertently, and asked if any clues had been found. Gu Changgeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he simply said a few words before he found any clues, so he stopped mentioning it.

Lin Qingqian looked at Gu Changgeng's profile thoughtfully.

He vaguely sensed that Gu Changgeng was a little strange, could it be that he found something?

Not long after, Shen Fei and Su Yingxue brought over the wine, Shen Fei hugged the wine jar and his eyes lit up, if it wasn't for the clear sky and bright day, he still had to be on duty, so he couldn't resist sneaking a few sips.

Su Yingxue said: "I didn't expect that you also love wine, but I couldn't see it before."

Shen Fei smiled and said authentically: "Before I entered the Imperial Forest Army, what I yearned for was reciting poems and painting, singing about wine, and traveling around Zhou Kingdom."

Su Yingxue was puzzled and said: "Then now that you are the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army, you can also be regarded as an official in the court, isn't it also running counter to your chic life?"

"At the beginning, I did not want to listen to my father's arrangement when I went to the Yulin Army for training. Now, I have important things to do, and I need to finish them. Then I can find a way to live that free and easy life..."

"Important thing? What is it?"

"Just to help Chang Geng..." Shen Fei met Gu Changgeng's gaze, stopped speaking abruptly, rubbed his nose and said with a dry smile: "It's just some small things, don't mention it, don't mention it..."

Su Yingxue muttered, "I think you're just out of shape... talking nonsense all day long."

Lin Qingqian's mind moved slightly, and just now she had a full view of Gu Changgeng's and Shen Fei's expressions.

The two of them must have something to hide from them, it seems that they will have to talk to Shen Fei alone in the future.

After delivering the wine, Lin Qingqian and Su Yingxue didn't stay for long. Before leaving, Lin Qingqian reminded, "Brother Chang Geng, be more careful on weekdays. Take some of the wound medicine given by Hanyue with you in case you need it."

Gu Changgeng's eyes were gentle, "Well, let Han Yue accompany you when you leave the residence."

"Don't worry, I know."

Watching the carriage drive away in front of the palace gate, Shen Fei patted his chest, with a relieved expression, and muttered: "It's so dangerous, I almost leaked my words in front of Qingqian and Yingxue just now..."

Gu Changgeng glanced at Shen Fei, and it was rare for him to say a word of contempt.

in the carriage.

Su Yingxue frowned slightly, with a sad expression on her face, not quite the same as her carefree past.

Lin Qingqian asked, "Yingxue, what's on your mind?"

Su Yingxue let out a long sigh, and said faintly: "My father wants to tell me about a marriage. The family is well-matched and he is a nice person. They plan to make a marriage for the two of us."

Lin Qingqian asked: "Do you like him?"

Su Yingxue curled her lips, and said: "I only saw him once, and I can't even remember whether he is round or flat, why would I like to talk about it?"

Lin Qingqian asked again: "Does he already have a concubine in his family?"

"It seems that there is a concubine's room..."

Lin Qingqian's eyelashes drooped slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she said, "Yingxue, you don't like him, and he has a concubine, so just reject it. Marriage is an important matter, and you need to be cautious."

Su Yingxue rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking. After a while, she asked: "Qingqian, do you have someone you like? Or what kind of person is your ideal husband?"

"I don't want to serve a husband with others. He doesn't need to have a prominent family background, he doesn't need to be famous, even if he is from an ordinary poor family, he only needs to behave well, treat me well, and not court Qin Muchu."

Su Yingxue had a surprised expression on her face. Although she had a bold personality and didn't care about trivial matters, these words still stunned her.

Lin Qingqian was expecting her reaction, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you surprised by what I said?"

Su Yingxue nodded, "If he is really from a poor family, and daily food and clothing are a problem, don't you despise him?"

Lin Qingqian said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter if you are poor, the key is that he is self-motivated. I know how to do business, and I can take him to do business together."

Su Yingxue thought about it carefully, and felt that what Lin Qingqian said was quite reasonable.

She asked again: "If he wants to take a concubine after you get married, what should you do?"

Lin Qingqian said without hesitation: "Then we'll divorce him!"

This remark surprised Su Yingxue even more than the words just now, throughout the ages, only men have heard of divorce from their wives, but how have they ever heard of women divorce from their husbands!

"Left and right, I know how to do business. I have no shortage of silver, food and clothing. If I divorce him, I can live a good life myself!"

While Su Yingxue was shocked, she felt that what Lin Qingqian said was very reasonable, so much so that after she returned home, she kept thinking about what Lin Qingqian said today.

……

"Young Pavilion Master, regarding Jiang Yunting, his subordinates have ordered people to check his background. His family was poor, and his parents, brothers and sisters died during the famine. The prince at that time went to the disaster relief and saved his life. For the sake of acting, he was accepted as a servant. Later, he gradually became the prince's confidant, and the prince trusted him a lot. Later, the young master of the pavilion knew about it. He accused the prince of treason, won the favor of the emperor, and became the current Imperial Forest Army. President."

Gu Changgeng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, "Have you found any relationship between him and Ouyang's family?"

"Return to Young Pavilion Master, no."

Gu Changgeng's back was pleasing to the eye, Han Ye couldn't figure out his thoughts, and after a while, he said again: "It's about where Concubine Shu and the nanny went before returning to the Yang family, did you find out?"

"Not yet."

Gu Changgeng pursed his thin lips, with a trace of tiredness on his handsome face, he said in a low voice, "I see, you should step back first."

Han Ye: "Yes, this subordinate will retire."

Under the dim candlelight, Gu Changgeng had a complicated expression and didn't know what he was thinking.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Qingqian changed into men's clothes and came out with Hanyue. After Yanyulou launched a new drink last time, she hadn't asked about the response, so she came here to take a look today.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the entrance of Yanyu Building, he saw many people gathered together, pointing and talking, and there was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves from the crowd.

"It hurts...my stomach hurts so much, it hurts to death..."

Someone is causing trouble in the Misty Rain Building?

Lin Qingqian squeezed in with Hanyue, and saw a man in his early fifties rolling on the ground with his hands on his stomach, with a painful expression on his face, and beside him stood helpless Yanyulou buddies and Huai'an.

Lin Qingqian grabbed a waiter and said, "What's going on?"

The waiter hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin."

Lin Qingqian nodded, and the paper fan pointed at the man rolling on the ground, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

The waiter had a bitter face, and said: "Mr. Lin, this man's name is Li Laosi, he is a veritable gambler. Not only did he lose his family, but he even sold his wife and daughter to pay off his gambling debts. He came here a few days ago. Yanyulou ordered drinks, and after eating, he fell to the ground and complained that his stomach hurts, saying that our food was not clean, he spoiled his stomach after eating, made a fuss, refused to get up from the ground, Huai'an son wanted to send him to see Doctor, he doesn't want to either, he has to be given ten taels of silver before he is willing to get up, Young Master Huai'an feared that he would delay Yanyu Tower and disturb other guests' dinner, so he gave it to him."

The waiter continued: "Who would have thought that he came again the next day, lying on the ground and rolling around after eating and drinking, saying that he was poisoned by eating our food, and he was willing to leave after extorting 50 taels. Today, the lion asked for 1000 taels." Two, Mr. Huaian is helpless, go up and report to Mr. Rongjing."

Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows.

Isn't this a clear way to extort money? !

The waiter scolded in a low voice: "This man is really shameless, this makes the business of Yanyu Building impossible."

"Didn't someone report to the police?"

"A person like Li Lao Si has been in the government's prison several times. Now people in the government don't want to see him. At most, the reporter will drive him away instead of arresting him and locking him up. , he will come again the next day..."

This is a typical thick-skinned, rogue, no wonder, it was too easy to get ahead, and he will open his mouth when he has tasted the sweetness.

Lin Qingqian's eyes flickered slightly, she hooked her fingers to the waiter and told him to come over, she whispered: "Go and prepare a bucket of soapy water."

"Soapy water?"

"Well, go, I'm useful."

The waiter didn't dare to ask more questions, so he hurried to prepare.

Lin Qingqian said: "Everyone, give me... Let me..."

Lin Qingqian squeezed to the front and stood in front of Li Laosi, frowning slightly and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"who are you!"

"I'm the boss of Misty Rain Building."

Li Laosi's eyes flashed, and he cried while rolling and shouting: "Come on, judge me, I ate their food in this restaurant, and now my stomach hurts to death, it must be their food is poisonous, come quickly Look at it...it's unreasonable!"

"Brother, you can't talk nonsense. You really think your stomach hurts because you ate something from our Yanyu building?"

"Naturally! My stomach hurts as soon as I finished eating. I ate it in your Yanyu Building. Do you still want to deny it? Everyone, come and see, the food in this restaurant is poisonous, and my stomach hurts after eating it..."

Lin Qingqian smiled sweetly, "Brother really ate something in our Yanyu Building and caused stomach pains, how could we deny it..."

Li Laosi couldn't wait to say: "In this case, you lose money! 1000 taels, not a penny less!"

"Of course we will pay for the money, but elder brother's health is important. Since he has eaten his body and his face is pale from the pain, we can't delay this. It is important to save people. Come here, and prepare some soapy water for this one." Brother, pour it down and induce vomiting."

Just now, the waiter immediately ran over with a wooden bucket, "Mr. Lin, here it comes...the soapy water is here!"

Lin Qingqian pretended to be anxious and said: "Then why are you still standing there? Your life is at stake. Quickly pour it down for this big brother and let him spit out what he ate."

Li Laosi's face changed, "No need! Give me the money quickly, and I will see the doctor myself!"

"Brother, it will be too late when you go to see the doctor after you get the money. Don't worry, last time the lady next door to me ate something wrong. She also used this method. If you spit it out, you will be fine." Qingqian turned her head to the waiter and said, "Quickly pour it down for elder brother."

Seeing that the water ladle was about to be stuffed into his mouth, Li Laosi said in panic, "No, I don't need to induce vomiting, I...I..."

Lin Qingqian smiled, "Brother, you couldn't be pretending to extort money from our Yanyu Building, right?"

Li Laosi said with a guilty conscience: "No...it's not! I was poisoned by eating your food, and now my stomach hurts like hell, ouch! It hurts to death..."

Lin Qingqian raised her brows slightly, and her eyes flashed slyly, "Did you hear that? Brother said that his stomach hurts to the point of death, and it's important to save people, so don't pour the soapy water down!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Several waiters went up to hold down Li Lao Si, and poured soapy water into his mouth. He struggled to say something, but he could only make a grunting sound.
