The world's male concubine
Chapter 16
At night, the drizzle is dripping, and the spring is cold, especially in the middle of the night, the coldness is like a thin needle, piercing straight into the bone.
A slender and thin figure was trembling, he took off the straw hat on his head, revealing a face that was pale with cold, even though there was no blood on his face, he could still see the shocking beauty, Swallowing, he grabbed the animal head on the door and knocked on the door a few times, soon a servant came out to contact him, and he was welcomed in after a while.
Cao Huan was wearing a coat and holding a lamp, he yawned loudly, and when he saw Gu Qingning, he gave a reproachful look,
"Young master, where have you been these days? I went to the inn you mentioned, and there was no one there."
There was a bruise under Gu Qingning's eyes, it was obvious that he was not resting well, he was apologetic,
"Uncle Cao Shi, I, I have some hasty things these days, really, really sorry."
Zhao Mu's cronies searched for him all over the capital, Gu Qingning hid in Tibet like a frightened bird, he did not dare to go to the inn, he had to hide in the wild in the outskirts of Beijing, and dared to come in before the city gate closed after dark for several days.
Seeing his tired face, Cao Huan also knew that he had not had a good time these few days, so he didn't say anything, sighed,
"I am incompetent. I ran around and failed to talk to the eldest prince. I am really ashamed of what I have entrusted to the young prince."
Gu Qingning was stunned, "Is there no other way?"
Cao Huan shook his head, hurting himself a bit, "Nowadays, I speak lightly, how many people can listen to what I say."
Gu Qingning shook her body, feeling desperate and powerless.
Cao Huan saw that his face turned paler, and was afraid that he would not be able to think about it for a while, so he murmured for a while, "Don't be so pessimistic, young master. It's not like I don't have any information these days, but I'm afraid it's just vague."
Gu Qingning ignited a glimmer of hope again, "Uncle Shi, but it's okay to talk about it."
"Biluo Pavilion," he paused, and said again: "The eldest prince often hangs around Biluo Pavilion recently."
Bi Luo Pavilion?
Gu Qingning was a little dazed, he had visited many places when he was young and rich, if he pointed out a place for recreation in the capital, no one would not report Biluo Pavilion.
Biluo Fuli has a different scene, and the birth of Xiaoyao depends on jade. Biluo Pavilion is a happy place, and it is the most popular place for the rich and powerful in the capital. As long as you have money, you can enjoy the riches and honor in the world. Yes, the people who come in and out are either rich or expensive, not only because he includes the best musicians in the world, the most beauties with different styles, and the most dazzling delicacies, but also because Biluo Pavilion is a place that can help people keep absolute privacy, no matter where you are How unrestrained during this period, you can still be a good minister, husband and filial son with peace of mind when you are outside, so you are very popular with the rich and powerful.
"However, the eldest prince is guarded by guards when he enters and exits. It may be even more difficult to get close to him." Cao Huan looked sad, and then took out a jade tablet with intricate carvings in his arms and handed it to Gu Qingning, "This is the hand of the lower official's mansion." Cards, I think you can use them, young master, that's all I can do."
Gu Qingning knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Cao Huan.
He has nothing in return, that's all.
But Cao Huan couldn't bear it, so he pulled him up quickly.
"Young master, the future is boundless, you, you have to take care."
Gu Qingning looked at this friend of his father who was high-spirited in the past, but now he was a bit disheartened, his eyes were slightly wet, and he nodded solemnly.
==============================
It is night, the sky is getting dark, but in some places the day has just begun.
Biluo Pavilion, located at the northern end of the capital, is resplendent and magnificent, towering straight into the sky. It is divided into seven floors, and the guests it receives are more noble as it goes up. On the first floor, Gu Qingning pinched the hand card in his arms, his heart was full of gratitude to Cao Huan, without this hand card, he might not even be able to enter the gate now.
Some people are physically dead, but their hearts are still cold.
Today is the day for the imperial court to take a rest. According to the past, the eldest prince Xiao Yuhao will definitely come here to relax. Gu Qingning carefully pressed the man~leather mask on his face, took a breath, and walked calmly into the Biluo Pavilion go.
The concierge inspected the cards in his hand, then smiled, and called a maid in plain clothes to welcome him into the hall.
Cao Huan's official position was low, and Gu Qingning could only stay on the ground floor because of his cards in his hand. The waitress welcomed him into a chic and elegant room, and immediately several well-dressed courtesans came up to him, standing in a row with their faces showing Smiling, waiting for Gu Qingning to choose, Gu Qingning waved his hand,
"Master is waiting for my friends here today, you go down for now, and I will pass it on later."
Those singing girls all saluted and went down respectfully.
Gu Qingning turned to tell the waitress, "Go out and let me know, the young master must be clean here, and no one should come to disturb you... No one is excluded, oh, go and call Xiao Cui to serve the young master, hurry up. "
Xiaocui is a waitress in the restaurant, and she is plain looking, she is not among the waitresses, although the waitress felt strange, but she is well-trained, she agreed softly and went immediately.
After a while, Xiao Cui came in amidst the rattling of the door curtains. She was overjoyed when she heard that there were guests calling her to serve her. Serving guests only needs to serve tea and water, welcome and send them away, and they don't have to accompany them like a courtesan. It is much easier. She made a bow to Gu Qingning, picked up the porcelain white jade pot on the table, a pair of slightly thin Cocoon's wrists and hands were a little nervous, and he poured it stiffly, a glass of amber wine with a luxurious aroma.
Gu Qingning rewarded her with a piece of silver from his sleeve, "Thank you, but I don't like this sake, go down and bring me another pot of Xifeng."
Xiao Cui took the money, feeling ecstatic and puzzled at the same time. Although the people who come and go to Bi Luo Pavilion are either rich or noble, it is rare to see such a generous guest on the ground floor, not to mention that she has self-knowledge, if she looks good, There is no need to be arranged by the mother to go to the canteen, but who cares, looking at the silver ingot in her hand, Xiao Cui dismissed all thoughts, smiled slightly, made a bow, thanked her in a low voice, and went to the elegant room went out.
Before taking a few steps, there was a heavy blow to the back of the neck, Xiaocui's eyes turned upside down, and she fell unconscious on the ground in an instant.
Apology flashed across Gu Qingning's eyes, but he quickly gritted his teeth, closed the door of the elegant room, peeled off Xiaocui's coat, tried his best to hug her to the soft bed behind the screen, covered her with the quilt, and immediately put her Changed clothes with Xiao Cui's, took off the hair scarf, combed her hair according to her hair style, finally tore off the hair on her face, took out another human~leather mask in her arms, and fitted it carefully, Seeing the ordinary and simple face in the bronze mirror that was exactly the same as Xiao Cui's, he clenched his fists, took a breath, and slipped out of the private room without a sound.
Gu Qingning said that he has been to Biluo Pavilion a few times, so he knows a lot about the key points in it. Every floor of Biluo Pavilion is guarded by handymen. Every time a guest goes upstairs, there must be a maid to guide him. , And show the warrant, if you rush forward, it will definitely not work.
Gu Qingning looked at the handyman wandering around, then walked slowly to the restaurant.
He was lucky, and only kept half a stick of incense, when he heard the anxious voice of the servant inside,
"Come on, don't neglect the guests on the top floor, bring these plates up quickly."
Then he heard Qi Qi saying yes, Gu Qingning went in calmly, there were several waitresses standing by in the restaurant, Gu Qingning tiptoed around, no one noticed anything unusual, and someone even greeted him.
Gu Qingning held out his hands in the midst of it, and soon a plate of food was placed in his hand, with a firm heart, he followed the person who brought the plate out of the restaurant.
The team of six went upstairs, all dressed in uniform, the handymen didn't inspect much, and let them go again and again. It wasn't until the gate on the seventh floor opened that Gu Qingning really relaxed.
Put the food plate on the pineapple flower wood square table by the corridor and wait for orders, and another beautiful maid is ready to pass it on.
Gu Qingning stood with hands down, while observing the surroundings from the corner of her eye.
With this glance, a figure came into view, and Gu Qingning's heart suddenly picked up, beating violently.
Why is he here? !
Gu Qingning's legs were weak, and she could hardly take a step.
As if it was a natural fear of him, Gu Qingning just wanted to run away, if she hadn't tried her best to hold on, Gu Qingning would have run away almost immediately.
Xiao Xuanyan was wearing a black robe, and was walking towards this side, walking like a dragon and a tiger, hunting like the wind. Li Yan was following him, and he was about to approach him. Gu Qingning was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing. Suddenly remembered that he was still wearing a human~skin mask, and the craftsmanship of the disguise is unmatched by anyone, and no one should recognize him.
After calming down a little, Gu Qingning desperately restrained his trembling body, and like other maids, took a step back and stood aside with his hands down, making way for King Liang to pass by.
His heartbeat became more and more violent. He watched Xiao Xuanyan's black boots embroidered with unicorns quickly pass by him with lowered eyes. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his body shook violently and his hand was pulled away. Gu Qingning fell to the ground. In a warm embrace, a vigorous and powerful arm wrapped around his waist, Gu Qingning almost cried out, pushing his chest in front of him, and met those eyes with lightning-like eyes in horror, he followed Xiao Xuanyan In the past three years, his aura has already been deeply embedded in his mind, and it is a poison that makes him fear.
Li Yan looked strangely at a maid who was suddenly pulled by King Liang. The maid was ordinary-looking, perhaps she was frightened by the prince, and her face was full of panic, so she asked cautiously,
"My lord?"
It seemed that after a long time, Gu Qingning almost fainted, Xiao Xuanyan only smiled lightly, let go of him immediately, and walked towards the other side as if nothing had happened.
Gu Qingning breathed heavily, his back was wet with sweat.
A slender and thin figure was trembling, he took off the straw hat on his head, revealing a face that was pale with cold, even though there was no blood on his face, he could still see the shocking beauty, Swallowing, he grabbed the animal head on the door and knocked on the door a few times, soon a servant came out to contact him, and he was welcomed in after a while.
