The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down
Chapter 17: Taking Money but Not Doing Anything
When Liu Moyan heard her say this, he hesitated for a moment, then opened his treasure box and took out another two hundred taels of silver from it.
It can be seen that this was the last bit of her fortune and she was very reluctant to give it away, but she still gritted her teeth and gave the money to Xu Yao.
"No matter what, you must help me find out. Who is hunting the Third Prince? And where are those men in black coming from? This is very important to me, Ayao. I can only trust you."
Xu Yao looked at the two hundred taels of silver, calculating how much he could make from it.
You should have said it earlier. It’s easier to get things done with money.
Don’t even mention why the third prince was being hunted?
She can find out for you how many girls the Third Prince sleeps with, what color underwear he wears, and how many times he urinates a night.
But Xu Yao showed an embarrassed but loyal look on her face, "Madam, rest assured, I will definitely help you find out, but..."
"Just what?"
Xu Yao looked at the two maids at the door and whispered, "But I have to go out on errands, so I can't serve you here. Madam, please bear with me."
After all, Zhang didn't like her in the first place, and it was Liu Moyan who forced her to stay.
Liu Moyan thought it was something else: "Just go ahead, I asked you to do this job, as long as you help me find out the information, I don't need you to wait on me."
This is exactly what Xu Yao was waiting for her to say. He could take the money and go out for a stroll without having to punch in on time. Is there anything more carefree than this?
Of course not.
Xu Yao took the silver and went out to work without saying a word.
The reason why Liu Moyan was so anxious to ask Xu Yao to find out the news was because she had a dream about an old event at night.
It was also at this time in her previous life that Pei Shuo took her to Dongshun Street to taste the newly-cooked stir-fried dishes.
It is said that the store got some exotic seasonings from foreign countries that are never found anywhere else, but everyone who has eaten it praises it as a rare delicacy in the world.
At that time, Liu Moyan really loved to eat and play, and Pei Shuo spoiled her in everything. Knowing that she liked new things, he was naturally happy to arrange them.
Pei Shuo took Liu Moyan to try something new and delicious. She remembered what the thing was called chili powder.
It tastes salty and spicy after entering the mouth, which makes people's lips hurt, but they can't help but want to eat it again and again.
None of this is the most important thing. The most important thing is that she heard someone say that day that the third prince had been assassinated.
At this time in the previous life, there was suddenly no news about the Third Prince, and there seemed to be a lot more people patrolling in the city.
Later, Pei Shuo secretly told her that the third prince seemed to have been assassinated and was seriously injured. He left the capital to recuperate and his return date was uncertain.
When she was dying, she heard that the third prince had started a rebellion and angrily accused the second prince of murdering his brothers in order to seize the throne. But not long after, the previous emperor passed away and the second prince ascended the throne.
When she was reborn, Liu Moyan thought that if she could marry the second prince and become the queen in the future, her life would definitely be better.
But if the third prince succeeds in his rebellion later, wouldn’t the second prince be in danger?
Now that she has changed her mind and does not want to enter the palace, and wants to help the Pei family escape the disaster of extermination, then she should find out who was responsible for the assassination of the third prince?
Because no matter what, this time they ran into the man in black, and they accidentally saved the life of the third prince and saved him from disaster.
Even if the Pei family did not take sides, people would say that they were getting close to the third prince, and even the Liu family would be roped in.
If the one behind the evil was the Second Prince, then her idea of marrying him would be extremely absurd and ridiculous.
What's even worse is that if the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has already offended the Queen because of this matter without realizing it, wouldn't that lay the hidden danger of having their property confiscated and their family exterminated?
Liu Moyan had a fever for two or three days. After waking up, she realized that she knew very little about her past life. It was all because she was ignorant and foolish back then and didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside.
She had been thinking about it for so long, but still couldn't figure out who had she offended in order to have her family and property confiscated and her clan exterminated?
I was really wrong before, thinking that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would be exterminated because of a crown.
But Pei Yi's reaction and the Pei family's actions made her realize that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was not so easy to deal with. They must have the resources to deal with changes in the court.
But why did it end up like that?
Liu Moyan thought about it and believed that the person behind this must have started planning long ago, and the incident with the imperial concubine was just the last straw.
She must find a way to figure out what the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had done wrong to be framed like this?
The matter between the second and third princes was the source of what she had to get to the bottom of.
Xu Yao took the task and walked out with a swagger, and no one dared to stop her.
The first thing she did when she went out was to buy roast chicken.
The roast chicken on this street is so delicious that she can eat two at a time.
Holding the freshly-baked roast chicken, Xu Yao ate as he walked, and asked people where Mingqianlou was.
After asking seven or eight people, I found out that Mingqianlou is also on Dongshun Street.
Xu Yao threw away the chicken bone and continued towards Dongshun Street.
Mingqianlou on Dongshun Street is really lively. The first floor is full of ordinary tea drinkers, who listen to books and drink tea.
The second floor is the private room for distinguished guests. To go to the second floor, the reservation fee for the private room alone is ten taels of silver.
Xu Yao was reluctant to spend the money, so she followed the waiter to find a seat near the storytelling stage, ordered a pot of Longjing tea, and asked for two or three snacks. While waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes, she asked the waiter, "Where is Mr. Ma San?"
When the guy heard that she was looking for Master Ma San, his eyes flashed and he asked her with a smile what she wanted to do with Master Ma San.
Xu Yao looked innocent and said, "Why would I look for him? I just heard that Mr. Ma San is a capable man. He knows everything about the capital city. So I wonder if he is like the gods in the temple, with clairvoyance and superb hearing. How can he know everything?"
When the waiter heard her say these words in a sweet and naive voice, he also laughed, thinking that she was just a young lady from another place who loved to listen to stories, so he became a little less wary.
"You are joking, young lady. Mr. Ma San is just well-informed, but he doesn't have the ability to see and hear from afar."
"Does he usually appear here?" She looked around curiously.
The waiter smiled and said, "It's impossible for a waiter like us to know who Mr. Ma San is. If he comes, then he comes. If he doesn't come, I don't know his whereabouts."
What a clever piece of nonsense literature! Listening to your words is better than talking to you.
Xu Yao didn't care. He paid for the tea and drank it quietly, listening to the storyteller on the stage, who was drooling as he told the story of the third prince.
It was said that the biological mother of the third prince was a rare beauty, who fell in love with the emperor at first sight in Jiangnan. She was brought back to the palace by the emperor and became a noble concubine. Unfortunately, the noble concubine was unlucky and died a few years after giving birth to the third prince.
Then he talked about how intelligent the third prince was, how he was loved by the emperor, and how he was respectful to wise and talented people.
The more Xu Yao listened, the more he felt something was not right. It seemed as if the person was being praised to a higher level.
A prince who doesn't even have a title starts to recruit talented people. People who don't know him would probably think he is planning a rebellion.
