It's easy to be a villain, but hard to be a princess

Chu Ruihong didn't come forward to stop the two of them, but felt that it was very exciting. Han Zixiao drank and ate food in silence.

After the palace banquet was over, Chu Muqing and Han Zixiao returned home together.

In the carriage, the two sat on one side, Chu Muqing closed his eyes, Han Zixiao opened the curtain to look out, it was already dark outside, and there were few people walking on the street.

Han Zixiao put down the curtain, looked at Chu Muqing, and said tentatively: "The prince and the mausoleum seem to be at odds."

Chu Muqing said lightly: "Is there?"

"The King of Mausoleum confronts the prince tit for tat everywhere, even if it is not discord, it is definitely not brotherly love."

Chu Muqing pondered for a while, "Since ancient times, the royal family has been a place of bloody storms. Treating people with sincerity and repaying grievances with virtue will only lead to death without burial. Taking every step of the way and deliberating is the way to survive. It is just common for brothers to turn against each other and become enemies."

Han Zixiao knew it in his heart. When he was an accompanist with Chu Ruihong, he had experienced the ruthless harem competition for favor and the open and secret struggles of princes for heir.It is indeed shocking every step of the way.

Han Zixiao sighed softly, "I think the prince and the mausoleum are from the same mother, so there will be differences."

"That's why you think too much."

Han Zixiao still couldn't figure it out, after so many years, the people on the dragon chair had changed for a generation, why did King Ling assassinate Chu Muqing?Could it be that there are other grievances?

Han Zixiao looked at Chu Muqing, and said tentatively: "Even though there were many grievances and grievances at the beginning, after so many years, he still targets the prince everywhere. It really shouldn't be."

Chu Muqing didn't answer his words, but instead said: "Speaking of which, you seem to like the dancer at the palace banquet today?"

Being asked so abruptly, Han Zixiao's expression froze, "How dare you."

"So, you like it, but you just don't dare?" Chu Muqing looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Han Zixiao chuckled, "I don't like it, and I don't dare."

"Then you were so fascinated at the banquet just now, what are you looking at?"

Han Zixiao simply replied: "I just appreciate the dance."

Chu Muqing's beautiful phoenix eyes carried a faint smile, and Han Zixiao saw that he was silent, so he continued to turn around and look at the street outside.At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the night was cold and windy, and a gust of cool air came in from the window. Han Zixiao shivered and hurriedly lowered the curtain.

Chu Muqing looked at him, and said lightly, "Sit down."

"Oh." Han Zixiao moved towards him.

Chu Muqing put her hand on his arm, hugged him lightly, and pulled Han Zixiao into her arms.Although leaning against him is very warm, this is definitely Han Zixiao's most annoying position, bar none!

Every time Chu Muqing hugged him like this, his majestic image of a seven-foot man would be ruined!Han Zixiao feels aggrieved, he is a man, and he must not let Chu Muqing hug him like this all the time, he must make it clear to him.

"My lord." Han Zixiao said.

"Ok?"

Han Zixiao originally wanted to ask if you don't want to hug Xiaguan in the future, Xiaguan is very awkward, but as soon as he said it, he said, "Xiaguan is hungry."

Chu Muqing: "..."

After a while, Chu Muqing said, "I'll be at the house soon."

Han Zixiao hummed, despising himself thousands of times in his heart, he clearly didn't mean to say this!

When he arrived, Han Zixiao jumped out of the carriage with a whoosh, and ordered Uncle Song to bring snacks and hot tea to the study. While drinking hot tea and eating snacks, while thinking about the appearance of Chu Muqing panting under him on the night of their marriage, his heart instantly Balance a lot.

A few days ago, the bribery case that Han Zixiao and Liu Qinghe investigated together finally had a clue.Wei Haotian, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, has just been promoted from the head of the department, but he is bribed by others because of his position, and uses public affairs for personal gain.

Wei Haotian doesn't reveal his wealth to the outside world, and even the clothes he wears on weekdays are patched.Through open and unannounced visits, usually his house is empty, and no wealthy people come to bribe him.Liu Qing and Cha Lai Cha did not catch him, but recently I heard that Wei Haotian likes to go to the brothel every once in a while.

Liu Qinghe guessed that Wei Haotian went to the brothel to meet the briber, so he wanted to follow him to the brothel to find out.

Han Zixiao wants to go with Liu Qinghe.

But was immediately stopped by Liu Qinghe, "Lord Han, although you are the Yushi Zhongcheng of Yushitai, you are also the regent princess, if you go to the brothel and be seen by others, not only your reputation will be ruined, but the prince will also be implicated. So, in my opinion, you'd better not go."

Han Zixiao leaned closer to Liu Qinghe's ear and said, "If you and I go to the brothel together blatantly, we will surely scare the snake away. You have to disguise yourself. Once you disguise yourself, no one will recognize you, so Master Liu, don't worry."

Liu Qinghe smiled, "If Master Han is not worried, I am naturally not worried either."

This is not the first time for Han Zixiao to change clothes. Back in Yunzhou, he pretended to be a horseman and negotiated with Zhang Mian, but he didn't seem to be recognized afterwards.

Han Zixiao stuck a beard under the bridge of his nose, changed into a royal blue robe, and held a jade flute, as if he was a different person.But Liu Qinghe was older, no matter how much he disguised himself, he couldn't pretend to be anything, so he had to wear a veil cap.

In the brothel, the affectionate Huaniang held a pipa and sang the song "Shoujinhuan". The drunken rich man took Huaniang's little hand and swore that he would marry her with a big sedan chair. The old bustard with lips twisted his waist and came over, waving a round fan in the cold weather, "Hey, the two gentlemen are very familiar, this is the first time to come to Baihualou."

Han Zixiao held the jade flute and smiled, "I'm here to do something in the capital, I happened to be passing by so I came in and have a look."

The madam covered her face halfway with her fan, and the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles after she squinted her eyes, "The two gentlemen have come to the right place today, the girls in the mother's house are all fresh and good at serving people, you may still want to come here in the future .”

Han Zixiao was calm and calm, and said with a smile on his face, "It's new here, so please take care of me."

"Definitely, Mom will pick a few good ones to serve the two young masters tonight!" As she spoke, the old bustard shouted upstairs, "Liuhua, Shuiyue, come down quickly to pick up the guests!"

Liu Qinghe leaned close to Han Zixiao's ear and said in a low voice, "Master Han seems to have rich experience."

The corner of Han Zixiao's mouth twitched, "To be honest, this is the second time I've stepped into the fireworks field, and the last time was several years ago." And that time was grabbed by Han Yunyin's ears.

Han Zixiao looked at Liu Qinghe up and down, "Could it be that Master Liu hasn't set foot here yet?"

Liu Qinghe smiled, "If you have a wife and daughter at home, how dare you be presumptuous."

Not long after, two women with heavy makeup came, waving soft handkerchiefs, supporting Han Zixiao's arm, "Oh, you are so handsome."

Han Zixiao was elated by the word "handsome", last time he was scolded by King Ling for being unattractive, this time he finally found comfort in his soul.

Two Huaniangs supported Han Zixiao and Liu Qinghe to go upstairs, after going upstairs, Liu Qinghe leaned close to Han Zixiao's ear and whispered: "He's here."

Han Zixiao immediately understood, and whispered back: "See where he is going."

Liuhua was very dissatisfied with the two guests dawdling on the stairs, and said coquettishly, "My lord, what are you doing standing here, go into the room, the room is warm."

Han Zixiao pushed away the hand on his arm, and said with a smile: "You guys go to the room and wait first, I will come later, young master."

"The slave family will wait for the young master to come over."

At this time, a middle-aged man came up from the stairs. When he saw Han Zixiao, he pointed at him in surprise, "Han, Han..."

Han Zixiao yelled in his heart that it was not good, it seemed that he was recognized, worried that he would yell out, so he immediately stepped forward to cover his mouth, turned him to the side of the aisle to hide.Han Zixiao was afraid that he would make another noise, so he said, "I'll let go later, don't make any noise."

The man whose mouth was covered nodded vigorously, Han Zixiao let go of him, and he breathed heavily.After a while, he bowed his hands to Han Zixiao, "Xu Heqing, the ambassador of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, has met Mr. Han."

The ambassador of the Ministry of Industry is only a ninth-rank sesame official. Han Zixiao has no impression of him, but this person can recognize him at a glance. It is really not easy.Han Zixiao pulled his shoulders and said: "If you see me here today, just pretend it never happened."

"Yes, yes, the officer didn't see anything."

Han Zixiao let go of him, not to disturb his interest, "Since you haven't seen anything, just do what you have to do."

"Farewell sir."

Liu Qinghe lifted the gauze hat to look at Han Zixiao, and asked doubtfully, "Your disguise is passable, why did he recognize it at a glance?"

Han Zixiao smiled wryly, "I don't know either."

Liu Qinghe said: "It seems better to be careful."

"Yeah." Han Zixiao looked towards the stairs, Wei Haotian just came up.Han Zixiao gave Liu Qinghe a look, and the two immediately entered the room, closed the door, poked holes in the door and window and looked out, and saw Wei Haotian entering a room diagonally opposite.

"He has entered the room, and he can't see clearly or hear him here, what should we do?"

Han Zixiao said: "Let me think about it."

"The two young masters are finally here. I have been waiting anxiously." Hua Niang behind her said softly.

Han Zixiao turned around, and the two flower girls who were waiting in the room pulled them over to sit down at the table.Liuhua poured a glass of wine and leaned over, "My lord, come, I will offer you a toast."

Han Zixiao picked up a glass of wine on the table, drank it with Liuhua.Compared to Han Zixiao, Liu Qinghe was very rigid. If Han Zixiao hadn't come, he might not be able to hold on.

Han Zixiao took out a few ingots of silver from his sleeve and put them on the table. Liuhua and Shuiyue looked at the silver on the table, thinking it was a reward, they immediately reached out to touch it.

The jade flute in Han Zixiao's hand lay between their hands, and said: "Do one thing for me, and the money will belong to you, how about it?"

Liuhua and Shuiyue looked at the white money on the table, smiling all over their faces, "Young master, why are you being polite, just say what you want, and Lu Nu's family will definitely do their best if they can do it."

Han Zixiao hooked his fingers to signal them to come closer, the two flower girls listened with pricked ears, and Han Zixiao briefly explained the matter to them.The two Huaniangs understood, and were about to collect the money, Han Zixiao took out two ingots, and said: "The remaining two ingots, you can get them when you two come back after finishing your business."

Liuhua Shuiyue put away the money in her hand, stood up, half covered her face with a soft handkerchief, "The young master will wait here, Mr. Bao is satisfied with the Lu family's affairs."
