"Old sir, the younger one is here to bring you foot-washing water!"

The waiter stood in front of the door with a steaming basin of water in his hand, nodding and bowing, and said humbly.

Ok?

Inside the room, Zhou Daozi raised his eyebrows. As soon as he arrived at the inn, he went to the eldest prince Chu Chang to discuss matters. Before he had time to ask the inn clerk to prepare hot water.

Zhou Daozi thought for a moment and decided to let the person in first: "Come in."

"Yes!"

The waiter gently opened the door and walked into the house, closed the door behind him, and then respectfully brought the hot water basin to Zhou Daozi.

"Old sir, this is the hot water you asked for."

"Leave it here."

Zhou Daozi sat aside, stroking his beard under his chin, and looked at the waiter in front of him calmly: "Tell me, who sent you here!"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, old gentleman, but please forgive me for not saying too much. My master has ordered me not to reveal my identity."

The waiter didn't hide it anymore and smiled generously.

"Hmph! If you don't say anything, I have plenty of ways to make you talk."

Zhou Daozi snorted coldly and looked coldly at the waiter dressed in front of him.

"I have heard about the old gentleman's reputation for a long time, so I naturally believe it. But, old gentleman, have you ever thought that since I dare to come, I naturally have some reliance on you. Moreover, I am alone in the same room with the old gentleman. Being caught, given His Highness the Prince’s suspicious temper, I’m afraid the old gentleman can’t escape his involvement, right?”

The waiter felt confident and sat down beside him, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Zhou Daozi took a deep look at the waiter in front of him and said nothing. Indeed, just as the waiter said, the person was found in his room. From the moment he opened his mouth to let the waiter in, he was already at a disadvantage. He couldn't escape the relationship. He wanted to understand this. The key is that the waiter in the shop in front of him cannot move or move.

"Tell me, what is your master's purpose in letting you get close to me?"

"My master feels that Mr. Zhou is talented, strategizing, and talented. He is comparable to the most wise prime minister in the history. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to abandon the dark side and join the army of my master."

While the shop waiter was talking, he kept observing Zhou Daozi's reaction, trying to catch some clues, but Zhou Daozi was very cunning and showed no signs of trouble from beginning to end. His face remained expressionless, making it impossible to tell what was going on in his heart.

"Mr. Zhou, good birds choose trees to roost in. His Highness the Crown Prince is violent, capricious and murderous by nature. He is definitely not a wise master. If Mr. Zhou insists on having his own way, even if he helps His Highness the Crown Prince to sit in that position in the future, His Highness the Crown Prince will not I will never miss the good things of Mr. Zhou, I will only end up being a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey!"

When the waiter saw that Zhou Daozi was unmoved, he directly administered a strong dose of medicine. Zhou Daozi, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but feel a little ripple in his heart after hearing these words.

As the prince's teacher, he has been with the prince for several years, and no one is more familiar with the prince's temperament than him. It is precisely because of this that he knows that what the waiter in front of him just said is very likely to come true. After all, before the big thing was accomplished, he could already feel a hint of impatience from Chu Chang.

When I saw Chu Chang willing to lower his head and call him teacher, I thought Chu Chang had changed. However, after what happened just now, Chu Chang just hid deeper than before.

"Mr. Zhou, that's all. Think about it for yourself. I won't disturb you anymore!"

The man dressed as a waiter got up and left. After all, he was still a waiter. If he stayed in the house for a long time, he would attract the attention of others.

Zhou Daozi stroked his beard under his chin and stared at the basin of foot-washing water in front of him in a daze.

The waiter left the inn, changed his clothes in a deserted corner, then blended into the lively crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Prince Qi’s Mansion.

Chen Rong hurriedly came from outside and came all the way to the west wing where his daughter was.

"Father, why are you here?"

In the yard, Chen Xianyu, who was watering the flowers with her personal maid, had a happy face and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Let me ask you, have you slept with King Qi?"

Chen Rong didn't care so much and asked directly as soon as he came up.

"Dad...why are you talking about this again?"

Chen Xianyu's face was shy and her cheeks were red, and she sent several personal maids away.

"Can I not be anxious at this juncture?"

Chen Rong patted the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand a few times: "The situation is getting more and more chaotic now. You have to be extremely careful every step you take. Once you make a mistake, it will be doomed. And you know how many people are thinking about marrying their daughters to Qi? Wangfu, do you want to have a relationship with King Qi?"

Chen Rong lowered his voice. It was precisely because he did the same thing at the beginning that he was even more worried.

"Dad, please don't make it difficult for your daughter. King Qi is busy with official duties all day long, and your daughter is just waiting to be married, with no status and status. How can you find an excuse to sleep with King Qi?"

Chen Xianyu didn't want to disobey her father, but she really couldn't think of any way.

"Don't worry, my father has already thought of a way for you!"

Chen Rong lowered his voice, looked around to make sure there was no one else, and quietly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

"Father, what is this?"

Chen Xianyu looked at the porcelain bottle in front of her, frowned, and looked at her father in front of her.

"This is the Huanhao Powder that I paid a lot of money for for my father. This Huanhao Powder is colorless and tasteless and will not be noticed at all. As long as you take out a little of this Huanhao Powder and add it to the tea and let King Qi drink it, everything will be fine. But things will fall into place.”

Chen Rong smiled slightly. To ensure that it was indeed effective, he had already tried it with his servants. As long as King Qi drank it, he would definitely be eager to consummate the marriage with his daughter.

"Father, this..."

Chen Xianyu bit her red lips tightly, her face full of hesitation. King Qi had never treated her badly. She didn't want to use such despicable means to deal with King Qi, but when she thought of what her father had said before, she fell into a dilemma.

After a battle between heaven and man, Chen Xianyu finally decided to follow her father's arrangement: "My daughter knows, but King Qi has gone to Nanlinguan the day before yesterday. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. I ask my father to wait patiently for a while." In time, when King Qi comes back, my daughter will find an opportunity to consummate...the marriage with King Qi."

"Changes will happen later. This matter is imminent. If King Qi favors a girl in Nanlinguan, all the previous efforts will be wasted. In this way, my father will arrange for people to escort you to Nanlinguan to see Qi. Queen, you take advantage of the opportunity to act."

Chen Rong thought for a moment and decided immediately.

"Yes……"

Chen Xianyu nodded and obeyed her father's arrangements.

at the same time.

On the official road from Lin'an City to Nan Linguan, a ragged and unkempt woman limped toward Peicheng with a wooden crutch in her hand.
