Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds
Chapter 37 Cui Mo Succeeds
The lights in the Xiujin Pavilion in the Prince of Qi's Mansion were brightly on. Hu Xiaohui had been asking people to find out whether Xiao Yan had returned to Qiyun Tower where his bedroom was after he went to investigate the theft in the warehouse.
Or maybe, Xiao Yan would not go to Nuanfeng Pavilion tonight to consummate his marriage with Tian Rumo?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Hu Xiaohui became.
She really didn't understand why Xiao Yan wanted to deprive her of her right to be the head of the family and give it to Tian Rumo!
Xiao Yan had always disliked Tian Rumo. One month after their marriage, he had never seen her even once. Even when Tian Rumo knelt outside the Qiyun Tower for a day and a night and fainted on the ground, Xiao Yan ruthlessly had her sent back to Nuanfeng Pavilion.
He just hated Tian Rumo to this extent!
Xiao Yan and she had just made a vow of eternal love not long ago, how could it have changed so quickly?
She wanted to find Xiao Yan and ask him clearly whether Xiao Yan was in love with Tian Rumo?
She and Xiao Yan were tied together. Her father, the Minister of Rites Hu Yan, was one of the core officials in the court who supported Xiao Yan. His role in the Qi Palace in the court was self-evident.
She even knows the secrets of the God of War!
Speaking of importance, even if Tian Rumo saved His Majesty, she would definitely not be worse than Tian Rumo!
Cui Mo walked in from outside and said to the anxious Hu Xiaohui, "Master, our people just came back to report that the prince did not go to Nuanfeng Pavilion, but went back to Qiyun Tower."
Hu Xiaohui finally breathed a sigh of relief. She did not go to Nuanfeng Pavilion to find Tian Rumo. This meant that Xiao Yan must have some unspeakable secrets, which was why he let Tian Rumo be the head of the family.
It’s not that I’m suddenly interested in Tian Rumo!
She quickly said, "Let's go to Qiyun Tower to see the prince!"
"master!"
Cui Mo stopped her and said, "The prince just told our people to let you have a good rest. He will come to see you tomorrow!"
"He's been busy all day and is tired. He needs to have a good rest because he has to go to the palace tomorrow morning!"
Hu Xiaohui was a little disappointed, but looking at the timing, it was indeed too late.
However, she wanted to confide in Xiao Yan about how aggrieved she felt when her power as housekeeper was taken away!
She wanted to get Xiao Yan's comfort!
Seeing Hu Xiaohui's hesitation, Cui Mo spoke again, "Master, the prince is upset because of the theft in the warehouse. At this time, he said that he would come to see you tomorrow. This is enough to show that you are more important to the prince than anyone else."
"Even if Tian Ruomo gets the power to manage the family, it will only be temporary. As long as the prince's heart is with you, any setback will only be temporary!"
"Since the prince said so, let's not disturb him anymore. It will affect his rest and make him upset!"
Cui Mo's words dispelled Hu Xiaohui's doubts.
Although her personal maid was ambitious, she was also quite clever and could often make accurate analyses of things.
"Master, you should have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, the scar on your face will be much lighter. It will be best if you appear in front of the prince in the most beautiful way!"
Hu Xiaohui believed these words even more. She still had bruises on her body from being kissed. At this time, it would be better for her not to go to Xiao Yan.
She finally decided to take a good shower, have a good sleep, and rest in good spirits to see if the swelling on her face had subsided by tomorrow. She then dressed up charmingly and waited for Xiao Yan to come.
So she asked someone to prepare a bathtub in the room, and she took a bath in the room herself without anyone serving her, so as to avoid the bruises on her body being seen.
Cui Mo was even more delighted about this. She told the other maids to wait outside the door and wait for Hu Xiaohui's instructions. Then she returned to the room and changed into a clean dress.
She even put on some light makeup, walked out of Xiumian Pavilion, went to the kitchen to get a bowl of chicken soup, put it in a food box, carried it with her waist twisted, and came to the door of Qiyun Tower.
The guard of Qiyun Tower naturally knew Cui Mo. Cui Mo found out that Xiao Yan had not gone to bed yet, so she asked to see Xiao Yan under the pretext of being sent by Concubine Hu to bring chicken soup to Xiao Yan.
After the guard went in to report, he let Cui Mo in.
When she reached Xiao Yan's door, Cui Mo thought for a moment, and regardless of the gazes of the guards standing at the door, she unbuttoned the collar of her skirt, half exposing her shoulders and half covering her breasts. She took a deep breath and called out in a tender voice, "Prince!"
"Cui Mo is here on the orders of the master to bring chicken soup to the prince!"
After getting Xiao Yan's response, Cui Mo pushed the door open and went in. She saw Xiao Yan leaning on a recliner with his brows tightly furrowed and his eyes closed.
Although the matter of Tian Ruomo was resolved and it was beneficial to the Prince of Qi's Palace, the theft in the warehouse was indeed too strange.
He and Xiao Jun searched the warehouse and its surroundings inch by inch, but found no clues.
The warehouse contains the taxes collected from Qi over the past few years.
According to accurate information, the number of private soldiers secretly recruited in the fiefdoms of various kings far exceeded the number stipulated by the court.
In terms of private soldiers, Qi has fallen behind other kings!
If we cannot recover these riches, it will be difficult to maintain the original number of private soldiers, let alone expand the army.
The military strength of Qi will be the weakest among all the fiefdoms!
There was no way Xiao Yan could explain this to Concubine Li. It gave him a real headache and he couldn't sleep at all!
In what other ways could the thieves transport the silver from the warehouse quietly?
Damn it, the theft in the storehouse of Prince Qi's Palace cannot be reported to Emperor Ming of Jin to request a city-wide search. The Prince Qi's Palace and the Prince Chu's Palace can only conduct a secret investigation, and not too many people can know about it to avoid the news leaking.
Just as he was feeling annoyed, a fragrant breeze blew over. He opened his eyes and saw a graceful figure walking in. She bowed to Xiao Yan. All he saw was a sea of white, which made him feel refreshed.
"Your Highness, I am here to bring you chicken soup on the orders of my master!"
She opened the food box, picked it up and placed it on the table in front of Xiao Yan, and said in a delicate voice, "This is the chicken soup that I spent two hours stewing over a low fire. Your Highness, please try it!"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, picked up the spoon, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.
Cui Mo was extremely happy, "It tastes good, then Your Majesty, drink more!"
Xiao Yan drank a few sips slowly, and suddenly, he felt two small hands on his shoulders, kneading them gently.
A soft voice blew into his ear like the fragrance of orchid.
"Your Highness, I have learned massage techniques. Seeing that Your Highness looks very tired, I feel very distressed. Let me help Your Highness relax!"
Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Cui Mo, who was so close to him with her shoulders half exposed. That face with a sweet smile was surprisingly similar to the same person!
For a moment, Xiao Yan inexplicably mistook Cui Mo for Tian Rumo!
He calmed his mind, however, an uncontrollable heat surged from his lower abdomen and quickly took control of his body.
He grabbed Cui Mo's little hand, "This king really needs to relax!"
He pulled Cui Mo from behind him, picked her up suddenly, and walked straight to the bed.
Seeing this, the guard at the door naturally closed the door and announced to the outside that the prince had gone to bed!
