female concubine

"The crown prince spent two thousand gold to help Liang Wenfu redeem Miss Liu's body, but after sending her back, her identity was withheld. I told your brother, if he really has the heart, he will snatch her here. In the name of His Majesty, so that No one will object."

Xiao Youqing frowned deeply, pulled away his hands and sat down, turned to face her sideways, "Since you wanted to help her so much, why didn't you take her into Chu Palace at the beginning, so as to relieve your pain of lovesickness!"

The softness in his hands suddenly disappeared, King Chu raised his brows, moved his body closer, "Sister, are you jealous?"

"How dare the concubine be jealous of the prince!"

"Let the second elder brother say it in public. Although the face of the Founding Duke's Mansion is not very good-looking, but with His Majesty's suspicion, how can he not know the way inside?" King Chu raised his head sideways, squinting at the sun that was gradually going west in the sky. , "Presumably the outcome has already been decided at this moment, the prince must be in a lot of pain, I'm afraid he will turn the table when he goes back!"

"But you let the Liu family enter our Xiao Mansion, do you think that the court is not chaotic enough?"

King Chu got up and brushed the dust off his hem, "Of course, before I leave Beijing, the more chaos the better, and when it becomes chaotic, I will take my sister and leave," staring down, "We will come back when the overall situation is settled."

"It's easy for you to think. Shen Tu's case is not over yet. King Zhao has been sending people to investigate secretly. How can there be an impenetrable wall in this world?"

The King of Chu smiled slightly and said, "Even if the wind comes in, my foothold is already deep, and it won't blow me down!"

"Liu's family has entered Xiao's residence, do you want my brother to marry her?"

The King of Chu shook his head, "Even if your Xiao family is willing, Miss Liu will not be willing. Her feelings for Liang Wenfu are like...my sister now!"

After finishing speaking, she let out a breath, touched the prince's jade belt around her waist, felt very cold, and then was covered with heat, "Fortunately, I have the status of a prince, luck or misfortune, all in the vanity of this body gone."

In the Great Ming Palace, Xiao Yunze, the No. [-] martial artist, knelt and stood on the south side of the court.

The emperor folded his hands, bowed his head and said, "Qing, who do you want?"

"Young minister is not easy to learn, Weng Weng and father taught me harshly, so I feel resentful, I often disobey them and hang around in Huajie Liuxiang, so I am often ridiculed by others. I haven't married all these years, because I have a favorite person in my heart. She... I know that I have insulted the family tradition, so I dare not ask my parents, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the father of all people in the world, and I have the whole world in my heart, so I ask Your Majesty to give me a woman!"

Wu Zhuangyuan's words made everyone present discuss a lot.

"Isn't the person the champion of martial arts likes a lady in a brothel?"

"The world is getting worse, he is the eldest grandson of the founding father of Longde!"

"Isn't his sister now Princess Chu?" the woman said and looked to the left, "Hey, where is Princess Chu?"

Following the line of sight of Wu Zhuangyuan just now, he just happened to meet the flustered Wen Zhuangyuan, and the emperor pointed lightly at Xiao Yunze, "I am also a little curious about the person who can make the grandson of the Founding Duke's mansion miss him, Just tell me and take a look."

"That person is at the home of Xinke champion Liang Hanlin. He is a private prostitute raised by the champion. He has a cheeky minister and wants to ask the champion to give up his love. However, if the champion does not give up his ministers, he will not force others." Xiao Yunze bowed down to the emperor at the same time He also glanced at the prince.

Everyone turned their gazes to look at the once glorious Zhuangyuan Lang.

"The literati are so romantic, even the number one scholar is no exception!"

"Civil and military champions are competing for one person, who is that woman?"

At this glance, the prince was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair. The prince turned his head and looked at the seat next to King Zhao, but there was no one there.

"I said before that as long as it is what I can give, I will accept anything, but the person you want is from Liang Hanlin, which makes me a little embarrassed."

The emperor immediately looked sideways at Liang Wenfu, and asked with a smile, "Liang Hanlin, what do you think?"

Liang Wenfu hurriedly stepped forward, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty... Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the soldiers who lead the land are the king's ministers. The ministers receive your majesty's favor and eat the king's salary. They should solve the king's worries and problems. People, wait for the king. After the banquet was over, the minister personally sent it to Wu Zhuangyuan's residence."

"The state owns the country's laws, and the family has its own rules. It's not good for people who want Liang Hanlin for nothing. How about this? I give Hanlin five hundred gold, and it's considered a gift. What do you think?"

Everyone commented, "I don't know how many private prostitutes I can buy with five hundred gold, this deal is not a loss."

Liang Wenfu knelt and raised his head, then glanced at the crown prince on the left side of the throne, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous gift."

The emperor lowered his head and smiled, and when he turned back to his seat, he suddenly thought of something, and then he turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, when you give it away, don't forget to give your status as well."

Both the sitting prince and the kneeling Liang Wenfu were startled, "Yes!"

After the Cuju in the Daming Palace ended, the officials went home, and the prince was furious after returning to the East Palace.

"Your Highness, you can't smash it, this is worth ten gold!" The servant tried to dissuade him.

Wei Shu hugged a pen on the shelf, and put it back tremblingly when he heard Ah Si's quotation, his anger turned into depression.

"Your Highness, Liang Hanlin asks to see you."

By the words, "Let him get the hell out of here!"

After Liang Wenfu came in, Wei Shu shouted again: "Others get out!"

Liang Wenfu stepped forward and presented the five hundred gold bestowed by the emperor, "Your Highness, that status..."

"Sir, this is what you told me. Do you know the king of Chu?" Long before Liang Wenfu came, he took his identity, and seeing the pitiful gold in Liang Wenfu's hands, he became even more angrily. A stack of identities stamped with official seals was thrown on Liang Wenfu's face.

"Take it, take it, take it all, I'll take the crown prince's place too!"

"The Xiao family don't want to be decent, openly begging for help in front of the palace." Liang Wenfu bent down and picked them up one by one.

"He doesn't want to be decent, oh, you and this palace are already decent? Xiao Yunze said that you keep private prostitutes, and you are just cheating those court officials and stupid women whose heads are squeezed by the door. Your Majesty has the Imperial City Secretary, as long as you move your hands Fingers can detect anything!"

"Let the monarch worry, and ask your highness to accept the responsibility of dereliction of duty!"

"That's all!" Wei Shu spread his hands, one hand on his hips and one hand on his forehead, and said, "You don't know, now that there is no Liu family, how are you going to blackmail the King of Chu?"

"The king of Chu asked Xiao Yunze to ask for someone in front of His Majesty regardless of his face, which is enough to show that the king of Chu cares about the Liu family. People and status can enter the Duke's mansion, but will a family like the Duke's mansion tolerate it?"

"Even with the support of the King of Chu, I will definitely let her return to my side!"

"How can you be sure?"

Liang Wenfu lowered his head and said coldly: "She is my person, even if it is Your Majesty, I can't do it!"

Wei Shu cupped his hands, re-examined Liang Wenfu, with a half-smile, "I don't even know, Mr. is still a loving person?"

Liang Wenfu bowed his hands, "I can't give up my official career for the sake of a woman, but I also won't be willing to hand over someone for the sake of an official career!"

"Hmph, I took Shen Yi'an's Ma Jun, but I didn't expect the King of Chu to take it. It's really..."

Liang Wenfu raised his head in surprise, "Ma Jun in Shen Tu's hands?"

"Why, do I need to report to my husband in addition to people?"

Liang Wenfu shook his head, and then asked again: "Is the evidence confiscated planted by His Highness?"

Wei Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, "So what if it is, so what if it's not?"

"Did His Highness do it? Why did Shen Tuantan plot rebellion? He is a hero. Why didn't His Majesty let the third envoy thoroughly investigate and settle the case hastily? Doesn't His Highness feel that something is wrong?"

"The evidence has nothing to do with my palace. The Prime Minister of Dali Temple is just a member of my palace. As for Your Majesty, His Majesty has long wanted to get rid of Shen Tu."

"As for the things in Shentu's house, who knows if he really has rebellious feelings!"

"However, before the lecher died, he also took away the two eyeliners that I placed in the home of the Hanlin medical officer." The prince said with distressed eyes.

Liang Wenfu panicked after hearing this, "Where is that man now?"

"How does Ben Gong know? If it is gone, it will be gone. If it is gone, I will arrange it."

"Your Highness," Liang Wenfu stared, his hands had nowhere to rest, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak, "You?"

In the middle hall of the Founding Duke's Mansion, Xiao Xianrong held a long whip with the thickness of his fingers, and beat his parents and children mercilessly, "I shouldn't have let you be an official, you bastard who ruined the family tradition!"

After several lashes, the back of the round collar robe was torn several times, and the whipped man puffed his cheeks and said in disbelief: "I earned it myself!"

"How dare you speak hard, you..."

"Ah Lang, Liang Hanlin is here, and he brought a woman with him."

Xiao Xianrong threw the whip to the ground, "I'll come back later to deal with you!"

Then he told Si'er: "Go, go to the west courtyard and tidy up a small courtyard!"

"Yes."

After the Cold Food Festival, the city of Tokyo was calm for a whole month.

At the beginning of May, due to the diligence of the king of Chu in handling cases in Dali Temple, he passed the examination in advance and was moved to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

The palace was full of joy, everyone was celebrating the promotion of the palace lord.

"As expected, I still like scarlet clothes!" The person who put on the new clothes showed off in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, "My sister doesn't praise me, but I spent more than two months of non-stop work on this official uniform." Come!"

"You spent so much effort to get your brother to rescue her from Liang Wenfu, but in the end she returned to Liang's residence. Apart from obtaining her identity... Could it be that Miss Liu is also part of your plan?"

The King of Chu shook his head and approached, and gently brushed her hair behind her ears, "She is not true, Miss Liu is an infatuated person, and she is also a smart person. Liang Wenfu's actions have already chilled her, but she I have a favor to repay."

She continued: "So, you can't be a good person, otherwise, you will put yourself in a dangerous situation from which you can't get out, and you will do it knowing that you can't do it!"

Xiao Youqing stared at her blankly.

"Before I married my sister, I asked her if she would like to go if I sent her away, but she just shook her head slightly at me. She knows what kind of person Liang is, and she also knows what kind of person I am. , but I still can't see through her!"

Xiao Youqing was still staring, and suddenly smiled, "If you see her through, what do you want to do?"

"Uh..." King Chu took a step closer and pulled Xiao Youqing into his arms, and said in a low voice, "It's not like my sister doesn't know Liulang's thoughts."

"You said that you are also kind to the two of them, but Liang Wenfu finally took refuge in the crown prince!"

"It may not be his original intention to seek refuge with the prince. Don't forget, there are two people in Zhigongju, besides Tongping Zhangshi and my master!"

"As soon as the results of the tribute examination came out, I went to ask the master. Shengyuan's answer sheet was flawless. I really don't know if it was done unintentionally or on purpose!"

"You mean?"

"It's just a speculation. I still don't know whether Liang is really loyal to the prince. At first, I thought he was from the king of Zhao. Looking at it now, he is really unpredictable!"

"I can't understand Liang Wenfu, and I can't understand Miss Liu, but from Liang Wenfu to Beijing, what Miss Liu did, I seem to understand something. I never like to fight unprepared battles, so I want to know the answer. "

"Liu family?"

King Chu nodded.

--------

The desk in the study was covered with a table of papers of different sizes, filled with densely packed words.

"This is all the mansion reports about Shen Tu, and the officer also found out one thing."

"The Sicheng of Dali Temple is the Prince's man. Before Shentu was beheaded, the Sicheng reported to the East Palace that the two women were indeed sent by the East Palace to the Hanlin medical officer. Shentu was greedy for their beauty and forcibly Occupying it, Prince Zhao's Mansion was facing the East Palace again, which happened to give Yang Shu a chance to remove the eyeliner, so he gave it to Shentu. Not long ago, the Crown Princess sent someone to take 1000 taels of gold from the East Palace and distribute it to Shen Those homeless women who have no support in the family!"

"Prince Princess has always been kind-hearted, she will definitely not stand idly by when she sees this kind of thing!" King Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Could it be that the Crown Princess felt guilty when she found out what the Crown Prince had done, and she wanted to make up for her crimes by doing good deeds, and the case of Jiang Luochuan, the prison student, is also related to the Crown Prince!"

"Follow the vine..." King Zhao looked at the clues on the yellow paper. The time, place, and people he contacted were all recorded in great detail. These two women are…”

"My lord, could it be that these two people were instigated by the crown prince to plant their spoils on Shentu? Moreover, the Yantie deputy envoy of the third department is a disciple of Tongping Zhangshi. Yantie has seven cases in charge of the country's mining, tea , salt, commercial taxes, canals, and armaments.”

"No matter what, just because of the chancellor of Dali Temple, the crown prince is inseparable from this matter. He cut off the king's right hand, and the king will naturally give him back his left foot!"

King Zhao turned his head and asked, "Have you found those two women?"

Shen Yi'an shook his head, "I don't know why, after Shen Tu was caught by the Imperial City Secretary, the two women seemed to have evaporated from the world, and the officials searched for them for many days, but there was no result. Could it be that they were killed by the crown prince?"

"The person came out of the home of the imperial medical officer. I was just wondering. After the death of Shen Tu, Yang Shu came to check my pulse less frequently. Not only did he send his disciples over, but he also perfunctorily said that the spring will return in recent days. Cold, Ouchi can't get away."

——Boom! ——

"Reporting to the Three Kings, Doctor Yang has come to ask for his pulse."

King Zhao glanced at Shen Yi'an, then lowered his head and smiled tremblingly, "It's really time to come!"
