Everyone stared at His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, but Rong Zhen seemed to not see the beautiful woman in front of him, and drank by himself.

Su Yidaer's confident expression froze, and the gorgeous flower fell from her fingers. The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Su Yiyun Ge hurriedly said, "My king admires the culture of the Central Plains and hopes that the two countries will become Qin and Jin. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is heroic and vigorous, and he and Daer are a perfect match."

Rong Zhen put his wine glass on the table with a "knock". He raised his head and said, "It seems that the king does not agree?"

Being rejected so ruthlessly, Daer's face suddenly turned pale, and her delicate body was about to fall.

In this awkward atmosphere, Emperor Yongning spoke up to smooth things over, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, although marriage is a union of two families, it is a beautiful thing for both parties to love each other in the end. We will not be nosy matchmakers and let them solve it themselves."

Su Yiyun's expression, which was originally full of anger, slowly softened and she replied reluctantly, "Your Majesty is right. I was thinking too simply."

"Come on, drink and play music!"

Su Yida'er looked at Rong Zhen steadily, but he only frowned and asked unhappily, "Does the princess have anything else to say?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, this princess will make you willingly ask for my hand in marriage!" After Su Yida'er finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Rong Zhen's expression did not change at all, but his eyes casually swept across the crowd, and then he gently raised the corners of his mouth.

This scene happened to be seen by Jian Yu who was standing behind the curtain. He followed Rong Zhen's gaze and saw Lu Zheng's expression as he was fanned by the spicy wine. He seemed to think of something, his face changed, and his hands gradually clenched into fists. After

that day, Princess Dai'er seemed to have set her sights on Rong Zhen. As long as Rong Zhen appeared anywhere, she would definitely come. The people of the Great Xia Dynasty were open-minded and did not reject this kind of drama where a woman chased a man. There were even gangs that placed bets on whether Princess Dai'er could take down the King of Chu.

No matter how good-tempered Rong Zhen was, he would probably be annoyed by the endless pursuit and blockade, not to mention that he was not a kind person to begin with. So when they were blocked in the Yu Garden again, Rong Zhen's voice was also filled with anger: "Your Highness, I thought I had made it very clear what I said that day."

Dai'er was still wearing the clothes of the Northern Frontier. Her golden hair was tied on top of her head with a crown full of gems, which made her look more delicate. Her pair of green eyes stared at Rong Zhen boldly: "King of Chu, don't you have a saying in the Central Plains called 'a woman chasing a man is only a layer of veil between them'? But I have chased you. After so long, I just feel that the distance between us is as insurmountable as the Geiranger Mountains. "

Rong Zhen was not moved at all: "Since the princess understands, don't waste your time."

Dai'er took a step forward: "If a man doesn't like me, then he is either a saint or he likes men. Your Highness, Prince Chu, which one are you?" She said this arrogantly, but it was not annoying, but rather had a bit of moving charm.

Rong Zhen smiled lightly: "Your Highness, you and I know why you came to Daxia. In this case, you'd better not challenge my bottom line too much."

After that, Rong Zhen walked past her and left, but Dai'er followed him unwillingly: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, you will regret it."

"I'll wait and see." Rong Zhen didn't even look back.

Dai'er stomped her feet in anger. The maid beside her looked gloomy and lowered her voice and said to Dai'er, "Princess, if you don't follow him, then..."

Dai'er glared at her and said, "I know it won't hurt."

"That's good."

Dai'er gritted her teeth and looked at the maid beside her who was lowering her head and looking obedient with resentment. She then glanced at Rong Zhen who was walking away in front of her, and hurriedly picked up her skirt to chase after him.

Rong Zhen got on the carriage and saw a gilded fan unfolded in front of him as soon as he entered. A pinched voice said, "Your Highness the King of Chu, this princess will make you marry me willingly~"

Rong Zhen punched him directly, but Song Zhiyi seemed to know what was going on. He rolled on the ground and unfolded the fan again. He said with a smile, "Cousin, you are not at all sympathetic to the favor of such a beauty. God will surely strike you with lightning."

"Before I am struck by lightning, I will definitely strike you first." Rong Zhen got on the carriage and said lightly, "Go and check what the Jie people are planning?"

"No way, you only see conspiracy in such a good fortune." Song Zhiyi said in disbelief.

"I don't think a proud woman can act as if nothing happened after being rejected so harshly. Something abnormal must be wrong. There is no harm in being cautious."

"Don't you believe that it was your charm that convinced Princess Dai'er?"

Rong Zhen glanced at him: "I'm not gold."

Song Zhiyi was stunned for a moment before he realized that Rong Zhen was joking. He rubbed his arms: "Cousin, don't joke next time. It's too cold."

Rong Zhen ignored him and continued: "I have been investigating my mother's old friends in the palace. Now I think about it, it is not necessary to limit the scope to this. Princess Shanyang was extremely loved by the late empress dowager. She often went to the palace even when she was pregnant. She must have heard about those old things."

"Princess Shanyang?"

Rong Zhen told Song Zhiyi about Ge Hui's request for help from Lu Zheng to solve the case: "There must be something behind this case, you go check it out."

Song Zhiyi frowned and said: "She is just a concubine, so what if Princess Shanyang killed her, how can it be used as a handle?"

"If it was really Shanyang who killed her, how could she not admit it with her personality? She is so secretive, I'm afraid the things she hides are not small." "

Okay, I'll check it out." Song Zhiyi paused, then said, "There is one more thing."

"Tell me."

"The young master is indeed acquainted with the commander of the Red Armor Guard." Song Zhiyi said, "and I found out that Jian Yu's biological mother is the sixth daughter of the Gao family."

"Gao family?" Rong Zhen frowned, "The fiancée of King Wei?"

"Yes." Song Zhiyi said, "But she has passed away, otherwise she might know what happened back then." He hesitated, "Do we still need to pay attention to Jian Yu?"

Rong Zhen shook his head: "Don't make any more trouble, let's just leave it at that."

"Yes."

Rong Zhen was silent for a moment, then said casually: "But the guards protecting Lu Zheng should not be withdrawn for the time being, let's talk about it after a while."

"Oh~"

"If you continue to be so weird, don't blame me for kicking you off the carriage."

Lu Zheng didn't know that he had an extra protector behind him, and Jian Yu didn't intend to tell him that the two were now at Shilipo outside the north city.

You Xiaowu tidied up the room, and even pasted a couplet on the door. Tiedan poured water into two chipped bowls and placed them in front of Lu Zheng and Jian Yu.

You Xiaowu said lazily, "Don't bother, they don't want to drink." Then he looked at Lu Zheng with a smile, "I have already delivered the news for this month. You two came in person, but I don't know how I can help?"

Lu Zheng said, "I wonder if you can find out the news about the princess's mansion?"

"Princess's mansion?" You Xiaowu got up quickly, a gleam in his eyes, "Which princess is it?"

"It's the Princess of Shanyang."

"This one..." You Xiaowu dragged out the sound.

Lu Zheng put a 100-liang silver note in front of him: "How about it?"

You Xiaowu's eyes lit up, but soon shook his head: "The Princess of Shanyang is not easy to mess with. The princess's family is too high, and I can't afford to marry her." He was not stupid. Now he had a fixed deposit of 5 liang every month. Although it was a bit annoying that Tiedan was in charge of the money and didn't allow him to spend it carelessly, at least he could live in peace. If he was greedy, he would even lose his life.

Lu Zheng took out another 100-liang silver note: "This is just a deposit. If you can find out anything, I will give you this amount." He made a five.

You Xiaowu's eyes were straight. If this ticket was successful, he could go back to his hometown to retire.

Lu Zheng saw his hesitation and added fuel to the fire: "I'm not asking you to investigate Princess Shanyang, but the concubine of her only son Ge Hui who died half a year ago."

You Xiaowu's eyes were almost glued to the banknote. Hearing him say this, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Really...really just want to investigate that concubine?"

"Yes."

You Xiaowu glanced at Tiedan, who was wiping the table, and said bluntly: "No."

You Xiaowu suddenly became anxious, jumped up and said: "Why not?!"

Tiedan stopped, looked at Lu Zheng and said: "There are many capable people in Yanjing City. We two small gangsters can check the news in the market, but we can't do anything to such wealthy families."

You Xiaowu also calmed down from the impact of the money and wiped his forehead: "Tiedan is right, I really have no choice."

Lu Zheng's heart sank. Even You Xiaowu didn't answer. Is the truth of this case really going to be buried underground?

At this moment, Jian Yu suddenly said, "We don't care whether it's true or not, and we don't care what you can find out. As long as you are willing to accept it, I will pay you."

This temptation was quite big. You Xiaowu looked at Tiedan again. Regardless of Tiedan's rejection, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of money and confirmed again, "No matter whether it's true or not, and no matter what we find out?" Jian Yu

nodded.

"Okay! I'll take it!" You Xiaowu took the two banknotes in one go. Tiedan was so angry that he threw the rag and walked out.

You Xiaowu glanced at his back before saying to Lu Zheng, "I'm not sure when I can find out the news, so don't worry."

"Of course." Lu Zheng nodded. He understood how unattainable the royal family was for these rising commoners, especially a royal family member like the Princess of Shanyang who had certain power, not to mention how secretive Shanyang was about this matter. You Xiaowu agreed, but he was also taking risks. He warned, "The news is secondary, your safety is the most important."

You Xiaowu's slick expression stiffened for a moment, then he wiped his face, "With your words, this trip is worth it."
