Chapter 87 Going to the Banquet at Prince An's Mansion

Qi Yanzhou lifted up the heavy two-point-one-arc and checked the soil underneath.

After a careful look, there was nothing unusual.

The round opening was only big enough for a slim woman to pass through, so he thought the "ghost thief" was a man and didn't think much about it.

When he came to the iron wall where he was writing, he saw the dye, which was something he had never seen before and it smelled pungent.

The handwriting was illegible, and every stroke was full of sarcasm.

What exactly does the "ghost thief" want to do?

He even stole the imperial seal. Does he want to overthrow the world?

Qi Yanzhou couldn't figure it out, so he had to come out of the underground private vault and go to the emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, I need the help of Eunuch De in the plan to trap the 'Ghost Thief'."

The emperor was forced to issue a self-criticism edict today. His private treasury was stolen again. He was exhausted and looked several years older.

He lifted his eyelids weakly, "Okay, how long will it take?"

"Three days is enough, but I cannot guarantee whether the 'ghost thief' will join the game."

"After Princess An's birthday banquet, I want to see your plan."

"I obey your order."

***

For the next two days, Ye Chutang lived a very regular life.

He got up early to practice, went to the Poetry Chanting Tower in the morning, and returned home in the afternoon to teach Shan'er and Jinzhi basic skills.

Le'er and Jun'er also came to join in the fun.

After dinner, Jun'er was treated with acupuncture, and then he meditated, breathed, took a bath and rested.

During this time, she went to the carpentry shop and received a batch of finished shelves.

The news that she prescribed prescriptions for preventing and treating plague had spread throughout the capital.

Because the news came from Xinglin Hall, it was highly credible and the people believed it without a doubt.

The three words "Ye Chutang" not only resounded throughout the capital, but were also slowly spreading outward.

Once the prescription is made public and her talent becomes known, she will become famous all over the world.

late at night.

After everyone went to bed, Ye Chutang went to the royal hot spring villa.

The palace maids who came to clean had already left, and no one noticed that the hot spring water had turned into cold spring water.

The mist floating on the surface of the pool is not hot air, but cold air.

Ye Chutang had tied a transparent silk thread to the iron cage so that he could lift it up without going into the water.

The ice leeches in the small iron cage grew at least three times larger, becoming black, smooth and plump.

"If it's just to suppress the fire poison, this size is enough."

She put the ice leech into the space and returned to Ningchuyuan to rest.

As for the cicadas, they have to be kept in the ice cellar for a few days.

The next day was Princess An’s birthday party.

It's just dawn.

Ye Jingchuan sent someone to deliver gorgeous clothes made of flowing brocade and a set of headgear awarded by the emperor.

"My dear Miss, the master has asked you to dress up and go out with him at 9:00 pm."

Ye Chutang, who was practicing martial arts, responded casually: "I see, is Ye Anling going?"

"The second young lady is about to get married, so it's not appropriate for her to show up in public."

Ye Chutang just asked casually and continued practicing martial arts.

When the golden light of the sun fell on the yard and the temperature gradually rose, she stopped to rest.

Dan'er and Le'er were making breakfast in the kitchen, and the hot water was already boiled.

Once her blood, boiling from the intense exercise, cools down, she can take a bath.

Jun'er sat at the stone table doing his morning lessons, reciting the ancient poem that Le'er had taught him last night.

At this time, Shuang'er, who had not appeared for several days, came back.

Not only did she not have the stench of toilet cleaning, but she also smelled of powder.

Ye Chutang could tell at a glance that she had changed from a girl to a woman.

No need to guess, she must have climbed into Ye Anzhi's bed.

Although Ye Anzhi had fallen out of favor, he was still the eldest son, so he could still order the servants to help Shuang'er clean the toilet.

"Slept with that scumbag Ye Anzhi?"

As soon as Ye Chutang opened his mouth, Shuang'er was so scared that she fell to her knees.

She knew it was useless to deny it, as the truth would be revealed once she took her pulse.

So he put all the blame on Ye Anzhi.

"My lady, please understand. The young master is the master and I am the slave."

"So, it was Ye Anzhi who forced you?"

Shuang'er is worried that Ye Chutang will seek revenge on Ye Anzhi, which will lead to her being disliked.

She pursed her lips and said, "It is an honor for me to be favored by the young master."

She's fed up with having to wash the toilet every day!

Rather than living a life worse than death, it is better to take a gamble and get pregnant with Ye Anzhi's child.

But she didn't expect to be discovered by Ye Chutang so quickly.

Shuang'er thought of Ye Chutang's threatening words and her body trembled slightly with fear.

She banged her head on the ground and said, "Miss, I have not betrayed you. I will obey whatever you ask me to do."

Ye Chutang looked at the frightened Shuang'er and curled his lips in mockery.

"What has Kong Ru been doing recently?"

Shuang'er shook her head, "Madam hasn't looked for me recently."

She has to clean endless toilets every day, which is tiring and smelly, so she has no time to keep an eye on people.

Ye Chutang lifted Shuang'er's chin with his toes, "In that case, you are of no use to me anymore."

Shuang'er's face turned pale with fear and she dared not hide the secret from Ye Chutang anymore.

"Last night, the eldest master said that the eldest lady was almost finished. Not only would he take revenge, but he would also get the indenture back for me."

She wasn't sure if this was true or just a way for men to get women into bed.

"It's going to be over soon? How?"

"I don't know. The young master didn't tell me."

Ye Anzhi was very tight-lipped, and even when his feelings were at their peak, she was unable to get anything out of him.

Ye Chutang retracted his foot and rubbed the tip of his shoe on the ground in disgust.

"Go down."

She knew that Kong Ru couldn't wait to take action against her.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be tomorrow.

Then she would create an opportunity for Kong Ru and the Kong family and lure them into a trap!

Ye Chutang had to attend a banquet, so he took a bath after breakfast.

After bathing, Shan'er helped her dress up.

The girl's bun is tied in a cloud-like bun, paired with jewel-studded hairpins and hair accessories, which makes her look luxurious and cute.

The light pink flowing brocade is covered with a layer of white gauze, which is smart and gentle.

There was a soybean-sized golden bell hanging on the mutton-fat jade pendant around her waist, which jingled when she walked.

Shan Er praised sincerely: "The young lady is really pretty."

"Today's play will also be very good."

Shan'er thought that Prince An's Mansion had invited a troupe of actors.

She smiled and said, "If you like to watch a play, you can go to the largest theater in the capital."

"Okay, I'll take you with me then."

As soon as Ye Chutang finished speaking, Butler Chen came to urge him.

"Miss, it's time to go to the banquet."

"Coming right up."

Ye Chutang came out of the main room, her lotus steps gracefully, the sound of golden bells jingling, her beauty was breathtaking.

Butler Chen knew the plan of Ye Jingchuan and the emperor.

He felt that no matter how pure and simple Prince Chen was, he could not refuse such a beauty.

Ye Jingchuan in the carriage thought the same when he saw Ye Chutang dressed up in gorgeous clothes.

The houses of high-ranking officials are basically in the west of the city.

The Shangshu Mansion and Prince An’s Mansion are only two streets apart.

In less than an incense stick of time, the carriage stopped at the gate of Prince An's Mansion.

Chen Zhong lifted the car curtain and said, "Master, Miss, we are here."

Ye Jingchuan got off the carriage first and stretched out his hand, ready to help Ye Chutang.

As a result, she jumped down directly and almost dropped the hairpin on her head.

Seeing her like this, Ye Jingchuan started to have a headache again.

He lowered his voice and warned: "Chu'er, you are a lady from a wealthy family, you must pay attention to your manners!"

Ye Chutang looked at Ye Jingchuan with a smile.

"Dad, I still say the same thing, I won't offend others unless they offend me."

Ye Jingchuan felt a little guilty when seeing Ye Chutang's eyes, so he tried to avoid her sight by taking the gift.

"Remember, Prince An's Mansion is not a place where you can act wild."
