Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Liu Xi hurriedly bowed gratefully and replied:

"Thank you, Prince Yu, this old slave will swear to guard this door until the emperor recovers."

After Leng Yu nodded, he took Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi and others, turned and left.

Since there are so many people here, he has no choice but to let go of his desire to see Luo Lan, and just write a letter later and have someone convey it on his behalf. I believe that no matter what decision he makes, the lady will support him unconditionally.

Seeing that he was gone, Concubine Li Gui gave Concubine Li a look, stretched out her hand, and the girl beside her hurriedly helped her up, she picked up the handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, said in a cold and disdainful voice:

"Sister Li, didn't you say that the emperor has woken up? Why did Prince Yu say that the emperor will wake up in seven days? Sister, I am not in good health, so I can't kneel here for seven days. Kneel by yourself."

Concubine Li was also supported by Nanny Lu, stood up from the ground, rolled her eyes, and said to herself in a cold voice:

"Hmph! A group of people who don't know good and bad, sooner or later you will regret it."

After leaving these confusing words, she shook her graceful figure, shook the handkerchief in her hand, and headed towards Li Yuan.

In the early morning of the next day, Leng Yu took Xiao Lingzi and others to the treasury. He was going to personally escort the cash, and immediately took the victims to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

But when they rushed to the gate of the treasury, they were stopped by someone.

"My lord, the treasury is an important place, except Mr. Zhang, the household department, no one else can enter."

"presumptuous."

Xiao Lingzi took two steps forward, pointing at the scabbard officials guarding the gate of the treasury, and shouted loudly:

"The emperor issued a decree to entrust Prince Yu to handle all the affairs of Daning Kingdom. You dare to use a second-rank Hubu Shangshu to suppress Prince Yu. You are really audacious. I think you don't want to live anymore."

Xiao Lingzi's words, coupled with Leng Yu's majesty, made the officials guarding the door lower their heads timidly.

Seeing this, Leng Yu said calmly:

"My king has already ordered someone to notify Mr. Zhang. He will arrive later. You open the treasury door first. The amount of money my king needs is large, and it will take a while."

The leading officer hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Yes, I'm going to open the door now..."

After saying that, he raised his right hand high, waved it, and a man came running over with a huge key. He took the key, came to the red-lacquered copper door, and opened the watch on the door. It looks like an extremely hard copper lock.

The moment the door opened, it was pitch black inside. Just as Leng Yu was about to step forward, the official replied in a low voice:

"My lord, the door of the national treasury was designed by Mr. Zhang. There are three doors in total. I have the key to the first door, but I don't have the keys to the second and third doors..."

What the gatekeeper said made Leng Yu's brows knit together in an instant. What's the use of opening only one door? Could it be that he was only shown a dark corridor?

He turned his head and told Xiao Lingzi:

"Why hasn't Master Zhang come yet?"

"The person who went to pass it on came back early, and it stands to reason that he should have arrived."

"Let's pass on..."

Leng Yu's eyes darkened for a moment, and Xiao Lingzi hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pass on Master Zhang.

Time passed by little by little, and until the sun was high, Master Zhang still did not appear. Leng Yu's face suddenly darkened, and he questioned Xiao Lingzi again:

"Has the person who went to the communication come back?"

Xiao Lingzi frowned, nodded and replied:

"I'm back, he said, Mr. Zhang responded, there are many procedures to come to the treasury to get money, he is going through the formalities at the household department, and he will be there later."

"It's already noon, what procedures have to be done all morning? Let's go to the household department to have a look..."

After saying that, Leng Yu got on his horse angrily, led a group of people, and went straight to the household department.

But when they rushed to the household department, they found that Mr. Zhang was not in the household department, and no one knew where he had gone.

Leng Yu suddenly had a bad feeling, and Xiao Lingzi also whispered in his ear:

"My lord, there must be something wrong with Mr. Zhang, let's go to the Shangshu Mansion to have a look."

Leng Yu didn't respond, but directly turned his horse's head and went straight to Shang's study.

When they came to Shangshu Mansion, there seemed to be nothing unusual here. When the housekeeper saw Leng Yu, he hurriedly came forward to salute.

"Prince Yu, why do you have time to come to Shangshu Mansion? Mr. Zhang is not here."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know, my servant, Mr. Zhang left early in the morning."

Hearing these words, Leng Yu's face became more and more ugly. He glanced at the Shangshu Mansion, and suddenly he felt a bright light in his eyes.

The two pots of giant longevity pine in the courtyard of the Shangshu Mansion, although they look very ordinary, can't grow into that shape in a few hundred years, and the pots of Western Region orchids in the corner are in full bloom. It looked like it was worth a lot of money, such a green plant, even if he was a prince, he rarely saw it.

From this point of view, this Shangshu Mansion is already a few blocks away from his Yu Wang Mansion. It seems that Master Zhang's life is very prosperous.

Thinking of this, he frowned, raised his voice and said:

"The king is waiting for him in the mansion."

After saying that, he was about to lift his foot to enter the door, but the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to stop him,

"My lord, Mr. Zhang is not here, the mansion is full of female relatives, it's inconvenient for you men to go in, isn't it?"

Seeing that the butler deliberately didn't want them to enter, Xiao Lingzi stepped forward and asked:

"Aren't you a man? Isn't your servant over there a man? Prince Yu is going to the main hall of the Shangshu Mansion to wait for Mr. Zhang. He has something important to look for him, and he didn't go to the backyard of your Shangshu Mansion. How dare you stop him? It's delayed the business, you Can you afford it?"

The housekeeper was frightened by Xiao Lingzi's words, he bent down and replied in a low voice:

"This... this is the order of the adults, no... no strangers are allowed to enter the mansion..."

The more the butler said this, the more Leng Yu felt that there was something wrong in the Shangshu Mansion. After he waved to Xiao Lingzi and the others, they directly blocked the butler and a few servants,

"My lord, please..."

Leng Yu strode forward solemnly, and shouted at the butler beside him:

"Lead the way ahead."

Seeing that it was useless to stop him, the butler didn't dare to neglect, trotted forward two steps, and took Leng Yu to the main hall of the Shang study.

The decoration of the main hall of the Shangshu Mansion is very ordinary, and even makes people feel a bit shabby. Leng Yu took a closer look here, and suddenly there was a smell of fragrance. He turned to look, and his eyes were instantly caught by a gold-plated filigree on the table in the corner. Feng incense bottle attracted.

He clearly remembered this bottle, which he had seen before when he was visiting an antique shop in the city. It was something from a foreign country, and the asking price was as high as 10 taels. Because of the high value, he was quite impressed with this incense bottle, but Such an expensive incense bottle was placed casually in Shangshu's mansion, and it was really used to light incense. This... This really opened Leng Yu's horizons.

He turned back to the butler and said:

"Take me to Mr. Zhang's study."

"This……"

The housekeeper stood with his hands down in embarrassment,

"Master Zhang's study room is usually not allowed to enter by servants, and the work of cleaning the study room is done by the second lady herself..."

"Then go ask the second lady..."

As soon as Leng Yu's voice fell, a soft voice sounded at the door,

"Who wants to invite me?"
