Meng Youning raised her eyebrows slightly and said slowly, "The prince is not in the prince's mansion, how could he be in danger?"
Canghei's eyes were dodging, he was stammering, and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Mu Xiang spoke at the right time, "If you don't tell me, don't even think about the Crown Prince's Consort going with you."
Cang Hei closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and had to explain, "The prince is drunk today, and now he doesn't have a single ounce of silver on him..."
After saying this, Cang Hei looked at Meng Youning eagerly, "Now that the prince and princess have gone somewhere, only you can save the prince."
Meng Youning lowered her eyes and quickened her pace.
She finally understood.
Qi Ran had long been planning to ask for money to keep the appointment, but she didn't agree at Chen Shi, so Qi Ran didn't have a penny on him and actually went to Jin Zhao Zui like this.
Meng Youning's eyelashes trembled slightly. She remembered this Gu Changfeng. In the original book, he approached Qi Ran under his father's instructions.
Whenever there were some important moments, Qi Ran would consult Gu Changfeng, but Gu Changfeng always came up with bad ideas.
Over time, Qi Ran's already bad reputation became even worse in Shengjing.
But Qi Ran felt that Gu Changfeng was his close friend, and he often contradicted Prince Yi and his wife. At an important banquet, he angered the emperor with his careless words, and the emperor issued an imperial decree to confine Qi Ran.
The original owner was also targeted, and during that confinement, the original owner's depression suddenly worsened.
She immediately raised her eyes, thinking that she might as well take this opportunity to let Qi Ran see Gu Changfeng's true character, so that she wouldn't run away before she saved enough money and get implicated because of Qi Ran.
Thinking of this, she instantly quickened her pace.
Cang Hei was left behind in the blink of an eye. Looking at the anxious figure in front of him, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Although the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince would quarrel from time to time, they still cared about the Crown Prince in their hearts.
The Crown Princess is such a good person.
Meng Youning frowned, paused, and glanced sideways at Cang Hei, "Are you not in a hurry to save your prince?"
Cang Hei came to his senses and immediately trotted forward.
"How much silver do you want?"
Meng Youning asked as she walked forward.
"Ten thousand taels."
Meng Youning's eyelids were twitching wildly. Qi Ran was really good at causing trouble.
Before Meng Youning could speak, Cang Hei added weakly, "Only then can you buy the qualification for the prince to return home..."
Meng Youning said to Mu Xiang beside him with a cold expression, "This money will come from the mansion. When parents come back, report the truth."
Immediately, several people hurried back to the prince's mansion to get silver and money.
Half an hour ago.
Drunk today.
The lobby was bustling with people toasting each other.
Some people kept their composure and drank one cup after another, while others had rosy complexions and were chatting with each other.
The air was filled with smoke, which disappeared without a trace in just a few breaths.
Qi Ran lifted his clothes slightly and walked straight to the second floor. When he reached the attic, he was greeted by a brand new scene.
Without even looking, he stepped into the private room at the corner quite skillfully.
As soon as Qi Ran stepped into the private room, someone pulled him by the arm and asked him to sit down.
"Hey, you're late today. Drink three cups as punishment."
Gu Changfeng casually clung to Qi Ran's neck, looking like a good brother.
He handed the three glasses of wine in front of him to Qi Ran, leaned slightly to the side, and whispered a few words in Qi Ran's ear, "Don't worry, drink it, it's all water."
Qi Ran reached out and patted Gu Changfeng's shoulder, as if to say, "You still understand me."
Immediately, he drank the wine in the glass in front of him.
Gu Changfeng's eyes flickered as he pointed at the two people beside him, "Qi Ran, this is someone I just met. I wanted to bring him to meet you."
He leaned closer to Qi Ran and said, "Don't you want to do business so that your parents will look up to you? The two of them are enough for you to learn for a while."
The two nodded slightly, with a slightly awkward smile on their faces, "Your Highness, I have heard a lot about you."
Qi Ran sighed and waved his hand, "There is no prince here, only Master Qi."
Qi Ran poured himself another glass, raised it high, and said sincerely to the others: "Whether I know you or not, since you are all Changfeng's friends, you are naturally my friends too."
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "I'm happy today. Since I'm here at Jin Zhao Zui, I have to drink Jin Zhao Zui. Wait, everyone here will take two bottles of Jin Zhao Zui back home."
Qi Ran patted his chest and said, "It's all my fault."
Everyone looked faintly excited.
Gu Changfeng was silent for a moment, and then he reminded Qi Ran in his ear, "This day's drunkenness is not cheap, everyone present..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Ran paused and glanced at Gu Changfeng with dissatisfaction. "No matter how expensive it is, can it be as valuable as the friendship between us? Listen to me. Anyone who doesn't take it is not giving me face!"
Gu Changfeng sighed lightly, and in a corner where Qi Ran couldn't see, a triumphant smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Changfeng silently took a step back and gave a calm look to the person next to him.
The man immediately understood and stood up. "Thank you so much, Your Highness, for your generosity. You've even covered all of our expenses for today's Jin Zhao Zui."
Qi Ran was in high spirits and didn't hear anything wrong.
He just waved his hand and said, "Eat and drink as much as you want."
After three rounds of drinking.
The drunk servants walked into the private room side by side. The first one to walk in was a woman in lavender clothes. The woman still had her charm, and her eyes were moving, which attracted people's attention.
She walked straight towards Qi Ran and whispered, "My Lord, the total amount of silver you spent today is 25,000 taels."
She was holding an abacus in her hand at the moment, and happened to be looking at Qi Ran with a sweet smile.
Qi Ran was stunned and suddenly realized something.
Suddenly he raised his eyes and looked at the woman, "Can I buy on credit first?"
The smile on the woman's face grew brighter, and Qi Ran, seeing this, smiled along with her.
The next moment, the woman's smile suddenly disappeared, and she opened her red lips slightly, "No."
Qi Ran turned his head silently and was about to get up.
The woman happened to stand in front of him and said, "However, considering that the prince spent a lot of money on Jin Zhaozui, I can make an exception for him this time."
Qi Ran just let out a breath, a look of great satisfaction on his face.
Even without Meng Youning, he could still be successful outside. Did she think that he would fail if she didn't give him money?
Oh, women, you are still too naive.
In a flash, the woman said word by word, "Then let's do it according to Jinzhaozui's rules."
The woman extended her hand and lowered her eyes slightly, "My Lord, please."
Qi Ran cried out, looking confused.
"Within a limited time, guess the number to determine the winner. If you win, you can get credit for this order. But if you lose..."
The woman's tone rose slightly and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
