The prince is hard to serve

Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling still couldn't go out.

After Duo Yuan left, not long after, Xie Jingyu, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back, and with him, An Si and Luo Yu who came all the way from the capital at a fast speed.

Although after leaving the capital, Luo Yu took off the original cumbersome finery and put on a plain and simple strong outfit, her long black hair was tied up high behind her head, and she turned her face to the sky, never Dotted with a little rouge and gouache, it still couldn't cover up her charming face.

Mu Ziling saw Luo Yu for the first time, but when he saw Luo Yu's appearance clearly, he couldn't help showing a little surprise. , he signaled Ah Lin to wait outside, and don't let other idlers in.

After several times of "beating" by Mu Ziling, and with Duan Duan and Fu Quan constantly instilling in him the rules of being a slave, Ah Lin is really sensible after all, his personality has also restrained a lot, and he no longer bluffs , reckless, at this moment, seeing Mu Ziling's eyes, he nodded obediently, then stepped back quickly, and stood at the door to watch the door dutifully.

inside the house.

He took Mu Ziling's hand and led him back to the upper seat. After sitting down, Yan Wenhao's eyes fell on Ansi and Luoyu calmly, and said, "You all have worked hard."

From Suzhou to the capital city, and from the capital city to Suzhou, the journey was thousands of miles away, but they only spent eight or nine days in total, so they must have traveled overnight without sleep.

After hearing the words, An Si and Luo Yu shook their heads, and then saluted respectfully: "This subordinate has met His Highness, Imperial Concubine."

"Excuse me." Saying that, Yan Wenhao pointed to the chair beside him, looked at them and said, "Let's all sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness." After thanking, An Si and Luo Yu sat down as promised.

After seeing them sit down, Yan Wenhao turned his attention to Luo Yu and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to come here this time?"

Raising his eyes, Luo Yu looked at Yan Wenhao and replied, "This subordinate knows."

Picking up the teacup next to his hand and taking a sip of tea, Yan Wenhao was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Now that I know, I won't explain it to you again, remember, your only task is to go back to Qin Dynasty. Yi's side."

Nodding his head expressionlessly, Luo Yu said seriously: "This subordinate takes orders."

Yan Wenhao said: "Qin Yi is a wealthy businessman in Suzhou and the person behind the First Intelligence Pavilion. Everyone knows that Shi Buyuan will definitely make friends with him in his capacity. Now there is not much time left. We We must get conclusive evidence of Shi Buyuan’s collusion with the Xiongnu as soon as possible, bring him to justice, rectify the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and disintegrate the conspiracy of the Huns.”

After a pause, Yan Wenhao glanced at Luo Yu, with a complicated look in his eyes, and after a while, he continued in a low voice: "Qin Yi is a withdrawn and indifferent person, indifferent to everything, and he is just a casual acquaintance with everyone." , no matter it is to anyone, he has never loved each other, except for his younger brother who is sick in bed at home, only you... For more than ten years, he has always missed you, and now he does not hesitate to pay 10 taels to find you, so he wants to... The only person who is close to Qin Yi and can convince him to help us willingly is you."

The last sentence finally caused Luo Yu to maintain her composure from just now. Cracks appeared in her calm and composed appearance. Her expression changed slightly. The hand beside her was also clenched tightly, but she never said a word.

Mu Ziling couldn't help turning his head to look at her. Seeing this, there was a flash of pity in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sighed softly, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Previously, he had heard about Luo Yu from Duan Duan, and he also knew about Luo Yu's past. He admired her and would give up everything for revenge, even the reputation and innocence that his daughter's family valued the most. But at the same time, he But also feel pity and pity for her.

Obviously, she could get close to Yan Wenzhi without such an extreme method, but she seemed to want to torture herself, and chose the most extreme method——

Even if he took revenge, he also hurt himself.

Mu Ziling guessed that this might be Luo Yu's way to remind herself not to forget her hatred, but she chose the wrong way after all. In this way, how can her parents and sister rest in peace under the Nine Springs?

If they have knowledge under the spring, they must all want to live well in the rain.

However, after all, Mu Ziling didn't say anything more. Everyone has their own way to go, and they have to pay the price for the way they choose.

With her head lowered, Luo Yu was silent for a while. After a while, she withdrew her revealing expression and raised her head again. At this time, although her face was slightly pale, she still responded seriously: "Your subordinate will will get it done."

"Ah."

In response, Yan Wenhao nodded and said: "Today you take a day off, and tomorrow morning, follow us to the Qin Mansion." After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, has anything happened in the capital recently?"

Although he also kept people in the capital to pay attention to every move of the capital and report to him at any time, but after all Suzhou is far away from the capital, and if there is news to be delivered, it cannot be too timely.What's more, the people he left in the capital this time may be able to find out very little about the news in the palace. If the palace deliberately conceals it, there is no way to inquire about it.

Hearing this, Luo Yu thought about her words, and then slowly told everything that happened in the capital, she said: "After you left the capital, Your Highness, the capital was quiet for a few days, but later, General Yun was still alive The news of the news was spread out suddenly. After hearing the rumors, His Majesty went to the General's Mansion in person and saw General Yun with his own eyes in the General's Mansion. This caused a stir, and now the people in the capital are still talking about it..."

Signaling her to stop first, Yan Wenhao frowned, with a cold face, and asked in a cold voice: "Have you found out why the news of my uncle will be spread? Is there someone behind the scenes? Who is it?"

At that time, even though Yunjing appeared to save Yan Wenyuan in full view, there were a lot of people at that time, and they were in the street market, and there were people around, so there were even guards who really heard King Huai call out the name 'Yunjing'. In addition, Yun Jing's appearance is too young, no different from youth, few people will believe that he is really regarded as Yun Jing, and except for Feng Yan and Yan Wenyuan who are in the middle of the encirclement, in order to prevent , the other guards, Yan Wenhao, later ordered people to solve them one by one.

As for Yan Wenyuan, he knew how Yunjing would affect him if he was still alive. To him, it would be harmful but not beneficial, so he would not take the initiative to bring it up...

Suddenly, after remembering who else was there, Yan Wenhao's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Did the news come from Lu Xi?"

"It wasn't him."

Shaking his head, Luo Yu respectfully told him: "I have checked the place where the news came out, and I have already found out that the news was sent by the third prince, and it was deliberately passed on to His Majesty. What the third prince intends to do, but the subordinates can't figure it out, don't know."

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao frowned and frowned even tighter. At the same time, doubts flashed across his face——

What is Yan Wenyuan's purpose?

After being silent for a while, Yan Wenhao suppressed his confusion, waved his hand, and signaled Luoyu to continue reporting the affairs of the capital. He asked, "What happened in the palace this time?"

Luo Yu said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, this subordinate learned from the Third Prince that His Majesty is ill."

Xie Jingyu, who had been sitting quietly at the side all this time, couldn't help interrupting after listening to the words. He was very surprised and said, "Your Majesty is sick?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

After answering Xie Jingyu, Luo Yu turned his head and continued to report to Yan Wenhao: "The news of His Majesty's illness has not been spread, and the palace has blocked the news. Except for Degui Concubine, Third Prince, and Fourth Prince Apart from Mr. Mu, no one else knew about it. The palace has been declaring to the outside world that His Majesty suddenly had a dream about the late Empress Empress. All affairs are temporarily entrusted to the third prince, while the fourth prince and Mr. Mu are responsible for assisting the third prince from the sidelines."

Tapping the table with his fingertips, Yan Wenhao pursed his lips, without any expression on his face, his eyes were extremely deep, like a bottomless cold pool, exuding a shocking chill.

Gently shaking his hand, Mu Ziling called softly, "Your Highness."

Hearing the sound, Yan Wenhao came back to his senses. He grasped Mu Ziling's hand tightly, turned his head and smiled at Mu Ziling, and said, "I'm fine."

After looking at Mu Ziling for a long time, Yan Wenhao turned his head to look at Luo Yu again, and asked again: "Apart from these, are there other things?"

He tightened his eyebrows, Luo Yu thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Before, Concubine Degui once went out of the palace to visit the Third Prince's Mansion. After meeting His Majesty and General Yun, Concubine Degui seemed a little agitated at that time, but her subordinates couldn't get close, they were too far away, and couldn't hear what they were talking about..."

Yan Wenhao said softly: "Don't blame yourself, your first task is to protect yourself." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at her and An Si, and said again: "Today is the first Here, you and Ansi have come all the way to work hard, so you should retreat first and rest."

"Yes."

After hearing the words, An Si and Luo Yu stood up together, saluted Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling respectfully, and then retreated.

At the same time, in the east of the city, the Qin Mansion.

With his hands behind his back, Qin Yi stared intently at the painting in front of him, with deep affection in his eyes.

Although the painting only briefly outlines a woman, but through the painting, one can already know her appearance, she must be very outstanding.

After watching quietly for a long time, Qin Yi asked after hearing the voice behind him, "Has she arrived in Suzhou?"

While speaking, he had already turned around, and his eyes lightly fell on a young man in front of him.The young man was his subordinate, he followed him since he was a child, and was given the surname Qin, named Qin Shan.

If Luo Yu was here, he would definitely find out that this Qin Shan was the manager of her dance workshop, responsible for all affairs of the dance workshop, and had followed her for many years.

Lowering his head, Qin Shan replied: "Yes, Miss Luoyu entered Suzhou City today, and my subordinates have been following her to see her entering a house in the south of the city."

Taking down the painting hanging on the wall, Qin Yi walked slowly to the chair behind the desk and sat down, then spread the painting on the table, stretched out his hand, and caressed the face of the woman on the painting, his eyes were gentle and tender, and after a while, Without raising his head, he asked, "The house in the south of the city? Do you know who lives there?"

Qin Shan replied: "The person who lives inside is the Second Prince."

Hearing this, Qin Yi's movements paused, and he finally raised his head. He pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Qin Shan nodded expressionlessly, and said with certainty: "Yes, my subordinates are sure."

As if thinking of something, a flash of understanding flashed in Qin Yi's eyes, he lowered his head again, and continued to stare at the woman in the painting, his eyes were full of infatuation, and the expression on his face was also full of deep thoughts.

After quietly looking at the woman in the painting for a long time, and recalling the smiles and frowns of the woman when she was a child in his memory, Qin Yi finally made a decision with a frown in his eyes.

Carefully and gently wiped off the dust on the painting, and put it back on the wall properly. Qin Yi raised his head and stared at it for a while. After about a cup of tea, he turned around and looked at Qin Shan. He ordered: "Go and order someone to prepare the carriage, and prepare a generous gift. I want to visit the door in person and visit the Second Prince—"
