Chapter 89 Eavesdropping
A high-end carriage stopped outside the palace.
Led by Chu Lange, Jiang Youning, Jiang Wanrong and Xiao Wukong came down from inside.
As for why there is another Jiang Wanrong, the story starts from before a stick of incense.
The carriage passed by a tavern, and Chu Lange went in and bought a few bags of new-flavored melon seeds, and then...
Jiang Wanrong, who also wanted to visit the palace, was also brought along.
"Jiang Youning, you said you wanted to see a good show, what kind of show do you want to see?"
Along the way, Jiang Youning kept the secret, which made Chu Lange very itchy.
Jiang Youning chuckled, "Actually, I heard that the fifth prince was brought into the palace half dead, and the seventh prince disappeared for two days and came back today to complain to your father, so I wanted to come and see what was going on."
[Ah! The person who did this must be a master of time management. It's amazing that these two things entered the palace on the same day! ]
[I just need to find a way to let the Imperial Concubine know that her beloved was taken away by the Seventh Prince. The Imperial Concubine's family is quite powerful. If they fight against that crazy guy, they should be able to cut off a large part of his shitty halo, right? ]
On the side, Jiang Wanrong raised her eyebrows.
My sister wants to watch the fight from a distance, which is a good idea.
"Chu Yu was beaten half to death? I've been looking at that rubbish for too long. Come on, let's go and see it together!"
Seeing Chu Lange coming, Jiang Wanrong suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of an interesting thing."
"What's interesting?"
Three pairs of eyes stared at Jiang Wanrong.
"Yesterday, Baojin County Lady came to visit the tavern. She seemed to be in a bad mood. After getting drunk, she said something about catching the Fifth Prince going to confront the Seventh Prince at his residence. The Seventh Prince actually revealed that he wanted to use her family's financial resources to rebel, and later even sent someone to assassinate her. Baojin County Lady cried like a pear blossom with tears in her eyes."
"And the Fifth Prince went to the tavern to cause trouble on the opening day, even scolded Ningning and wanted to smash the store. What do you think...if we let Concubine Zheng know about this..."
“Great!”
Chu Lange's eyes rolled around, and a devilish idea instantly came to his mind.
She casually called over a little palace maid who was not far away.
"stop!"
The little maid knelt down tremblingly: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. What instructions does the Princess have?"
"Which palace?"
"Princess, I work in the laundry department."
The laundry department is the most hopeless place in the palace, and the power there is relatively clean.
"What's your name?"
"Qiu Ying."
Chu Lange frowned in disgust: "Earthworm? Who would give such a name? It's really disgusting."
But she didn't argue with him, and continued, "Get up and help me do something, and I'll ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help you find a new job, or give you ten taels of silver, how about that?"
"Princess, can you really help me change my job?"
The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground stood up instantly with joy in her eyes.
At the side, Jiang Wanrong looked at the red mole on the palace maid's heart and suddenly clutched her sleeve.
My sister had said in her heart before that a little palace maid with a red mole between her eyebrows bumped into Chu Haoze and gave him the formula of the evil fragrance. When she heard today that Chu Langge was going to bring my sister into the palace, this was the reason she came here.
I didn't expect that I would find one right after I arrived, even though I thought it would be easy to find.
Chu Lange looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping before speaking in a low voice:
"Find a palace maid to go and chat with her near Zhaoyang Palace. Tell her that when I went to the newly opened wine shop in the capital yesterday to have tea, I heard the drunken Princess Baojin tell me that she caught the Fifth Prince quarreling with the Seventh Prince, and that the Seventh Prince later sent someone to kill her in an attempt to silence her. I was very happy to hear that and happily ordered two more dishes on the spot.
This... must be heard by the people in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, and must also reach the Imperial Concubine's ears, do you understand?"
The little maid nodded gently.
"Princess, I understand."
"Very good, you can get up now. When you are done, take this princess's sachet and go to Qiwu Palace to find my mother. She will take care of you.
Don’t mention this to anyone else, or I will kill your entire family, understand?”
"yes."
The little maid turned around with joy on her face and left quickly.
Chu Lange turned her head proudly and looked at Jiang Youning: "What do you think? My plan is good, right? I helped you get revenge today, shouldn't you treat me to a meal for free?"
When talking about food, Chu Lange couldn't help but feel resentful.
She was a princess, but a meal at Jiang Youning's place cost her several hundred taels, which was really too expensive.
But the food there is so delicious that there is no other place as delicious as it in the whole capital. After eating there, I always feel that the food in other places is tasteless.
"Okay, okay, all meals at the restaurant today are free for the princess."
Jiang Youning smiled and nodded.
[My sister and Chu Lange are like gods. They are worthy of being the women I love. They think the same as I do.]
[Look at how this thing is done, Yu's study room should be very busy today, right? ]
【Watch a play, watch a play!!!】
Four people, with an average height of no more than 1.6 meters, swaggered to the vicinity of Yu's study, and then sneaked through the window into the side hall.
"Follow me!"
Chu Lange led the three people slowly towards a small door that led directly to Yu's study.
At this moment, the sound of Chu Haoze kneeling down and asking Chu Wenzong for help was heard.
"Father, I know you don't like me. I don't want to disturb you, but I am of royal blood after all.
Normally I am an honest and dutiful son, and I never fight or compete with others. However, some thieves still targeted me, and they surrounded and assassinated me overnight, and even burned my mansion to the ground.
I beg you, father, to help me, find out the truth, punish the thieves, and save the reputation of the royal family!!!"
Chu Wenzong was looking at Chu Haoze in front of him with a frown, feeling a headache, when a voice came over.
[My son, my son, my son... Are you poisonous? I'm going to feel dizzy.]
[You know your father doesn't like you, but you still come to disturb him? Do you have any manners? ]
[How could an emperor not know that your mansion was on fire? If you didn't move, you were just pretending to be dead. Haven't you ever heard that you should never try to wake up someone who is pretending to be dead? ]
After hearing these words, Chu Wenzong nodded seriously.
I really didn't expect that this voice would touch his heart. Knowing that he was pretending to be dead, but still insisting on him seeking justice, was really not polite at all.
No!
This voice sounds so familiar, where did it come from?
He didn't summon that girl into the palace today, did he?
Emperor Wenzong of Chu looked around but saw no one.
But based on what happened last time, since he could hear the sound this time, Jiang Liu must be nearby.
Chu Wenzong frowned: "Fukang!"
"The old slave is here!"
Fu Kang ran in quickly.
Chu Wenzong whispered a few words into Fu Kang's ear, and Fu Kang quickly retreated.
