Chapter 248 Infiltration]
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunshuo said helplessly, "What's your plan? Tell me about it."
"Just now, I was in front and heard the madam say that she would select a dozen or so attractive girls to go to the General's Mansion for entertainment. I can disguise myself as one of them and sneak in to find out where my mother is. This is better than you barging in without permission. The Second Prince is still in the General's Mansion, and the security there will be stricter than usual!"
Without even a second thought, Xiao Yunshuo shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous! Even though you know some martial arts, if you were to fight the guards of the General's Mansion or the Second Prince's secret guards, you would have virtually no chance of winning."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
This "basically no chance of winning" is really hurtful.
However, she also knew that the current dynasty could not be compared with the world before she traveled through time.
It is really possible that she would not be able to win if she relied solely on her close combat skills.
Of course, this is without taking into account her personal space plug-in.
With the space in hand, plus the poison and firearms such as pistols in her space, most crises should be able to be resolved.
But she couldn't explain this to Xiao Yunshuo.
"Although my martial arts skills may not be enough to withstand it, I can still use poison. Besides, I don't plan to go alone. If you are worried, you can follow me in secret. However, Your Highness must promise me this time that you will not take action unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if Your Highness's identity is exposed, the first ones to die will probably be me, my mother, and the Ninth Prince."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xu whispered, "Your Highness, the Empress is absolutely right. Compared to Your Highness, the Empress is in the open. Even if a scene were to arise and her identity were revealed in the General's Mansion, she was exiled by the Emperor's order. Even the Second Prince and Qu Wenmin wouldn't dare to touch the Empresses. Even if they were truly bold enough to do so, it wouldn't be too late for us to rescue them then."
Xiao Yunshuo frowned and looked at Chen Fenghe and Yuan Xu. After a long moment, he sighed and said, "That's fine. Let's leave it at that for now. We'll see what happens once we get into the General's Mansion."
After the three of them had agreed, Chen Fenghe returned to the front hall, casually put his arms around the waists of the two girls, and even raised his hand to lift the chin of one of the girls, and went upstairs with his arms around them.
Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but twitch his mouth in the dark.
Why did he feel that she, the Crown Princess, seemed to be very comfortable in this place?
Chen Fenghe quickly relied on her good looks and generous generosity to get a lot of information about the girls who were selected to go to the general's mansion.
"It's not easy to work in the general's mansion. Everyone thinks that if we go to the general's mansion, we might be noticed by General Qu, or at least by a lieutenant general. Then we sisters will be redeemed and become concubines, which will be a thousand times better than now. It's a pity that it's all wishful thinking. We prostitutes are not worthy of serving generals and lieutenant generals. We are always sent there to serve those soldiers. Not only are we exhausted, but we don't get much money. No one is willing to go!" said a girl.
The other girl shook her head and said, "You're wrong this time. This time is different from the past! Do you know that this time, even Ruyan, the most beautiful courtesan in Wanhua Tower, will be there? Ruyan has always only sold her art, not her body. Could she be serving those soldiers?"
"What's the logic behind that? I heard that General Qu's wife is very powerful, but General Qu has never been involved with prostitutes. Could it be that he has fallen for Ruyan?"
"Have you forgotten that a big shot has come to Dingzhou City these past few days? Second Prince, the current His Royal Highness Prince Rui, let me tell you, Ruyan must be going to serve His Royal Highness Prince Rui..."
Chen Fenghe interrupted them and asked with a smile, "Besides Ruyan, who are the other sisters going? Are you two sisters going?"
After hearing this, the two men listed the names of several girls, and then came up to him with some boredom: "Hey, young master, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, why are we chatting about these trivial things, or..."
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Fenghe with seductive eyes.
Putting aside other things, they would be willing to serve such a handsome young man even without money, not to mention that the young man gave them ten taels of silver at the first try, showing no mercy at all!
Chen Fenghe smiled awkwardly, and suddenly raised his sleeves and waved them. The drug powder in his sleeves that could make people unconscious spread out, and the two of them immediately fell to the ground.
Chen Fenghe sneaked out of the room and randomly found a girl who was chosen to be sent to the general's mansion. He knocked her unconscious using the same trick, then changed into her clothes and disguised himself as her.
After a while, someone from the General's Mansion came to lead the group over, and Chen Fenghe followed the large group onto the carriage sent by the General's Mansion.
She secretly counted them and found that there were seven carriages in total, with five or six people in each carriage, except for the last carriage which had only one person in it.
A girl in the same car couldn't help but say with envy, "Alas...same person, different fate. We have the same status, but Ruyan is treated with such respect. Not only can she ride alone in the car, but she can also meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui. If I also have the chance to meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui..."
Another girl scoffed, "Meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui? Don't you even consider your own appearance and figure? You're just daydreaming! You can't even serve a lieutenant general! What a joke!"
The mocked girl couldn't help but say angrily, "You're not much better, are you? Aren't you just like me, the best you can do is reward the centurion?"
Chen Fenghe didn't pay much attention to what they said. With her face covered by a veil, she looked over from a distance and saw a graceful woman supported by two little maids, slowly getting into the separate carriage.
Her face was also covered with a veil, making it difficult to see her features clearly, but she must be alone.
After reading it, Chen Fenghe withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes to rest, and went over the plan in his mind.
She deliberately chose a girl who was going to reward the soldiers as a substitute in order to avoid attracting attention and make it easier to escape.
The carriage team soon arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.
When the wheels rolled past the side door of the backyard, Chen Fenghe subconsciously glanced into the void, wondering if Xiao Yunshuo was in the dark at this moment.
The general's mansion is divided into seven courtyards, and its vast area is truly breathtaking.
The carriage entered the mansion gate. Every time it passed a gate, a carriage would stop in turn. The carriage that Chen Fenghe was riding in stopped at the fifth courtyard.
She got off the car with the others, and soon the servants waiting in the yard took them away and sent them to the side rooms one by one.
Chen Fenghe waited for the servant to leave and was about to leave through the space when suddenly a drunk warrior kicked the door open with a bang and staggered in.
