Chapter 183 Why is it you? Where is Xiangying?
The Sixth Prince's side is also in chaos.
Upon learning that things had been stolen again, along with the weapons that had been lost previously, he simply had the staff member responsible executed.
He was still furious in the main account: "How come the food and grass that were just delivered from the granary yesterday are gone overnight?"
The military advisors and others who were questioned by him trembled and knelt down one after another: "Your Highness, please calm down, we don't know either!"
"Since the granary was stolen last time, I have ordered people to strengthen patrols and defenses. The shifts are every half an hour. There are people patrolling and standing guard outside the granary at all times. How could that person take away so much food and grass at once without anyone noticing?"
As the military advisor spoke, fear flashed in his eyes.
He stood up quickly and said, "Your Highness, could it be that you have offended the Divine Might?"
Considering what happened last night, how the lake turned into a shallow beach overnight, he couldn't think of any other possibility except that gods and ghosts had such power.
The Sixth Prince's face was gloomy: "I don't want to know whether it was done by a human or a ghost. I only know that if something like this happens again, you will lose your heads!"
With just one sentence, everyone present changed their expressions.
The Sixth Prince pointed at the military advisor and said, "Tell Lu Hong that I want to see Xiangying. Even if there is no lake, we still have to eat this meal."
The military advisor hesitated to speak.
The Sixth Prince waved his folding fan impatiently: "If you have to fart, just fart!"
The military advisor bowed and said, "Your Highness, we are out of food, and the food in Lu Taishou's mansion is also empty..."
They still want to eat like this? They have trouble eating now.
The Sixth Prince slammed the table in anger: "Then go borrow, buy, and take from the people! Do you still need me to teach you such a small matter?"
The military advisor was afraid of being implicated, so he nodded repeatedly and ran out.
He had only taken a few steps when he heard the Sixth Prince's cold rebuke from inside the tent.
"This Yan Jing is getting more and more stupid. It's unnecessary to keep him around. After this incident is over, it's time to deal with him."
The military advisor's heart skipped a beat.
Yan Jing is him. He was originally resourceful and served as a counselor under Prince Gong. He was also praised by the old prince as the wisest man in the world.
Ever since the death of Prince Gong, he has been here with the Sixth Prince.
Just because of what the old prince said before his death, he asked him to take good care of Concubine Zhuang's son.
Although the Sixth Prince was not Concubine Zhuang's biological son, he was raised by her for ten years. It was not until the Sixth Prince exposed Concubine Zhuang's secret dealings with the Western Zhou Dynasty and accused her of treason that Concubine Zhuang and her biological Tenth Prince were completely rejected by the Emperor.
Prince Gong entrusted him to take care of Concubine Zhuang's son. It couldn't be the Tenth Prince, because the Tenth Prince had been secretly sent away from Nanyue by the Emperor at that time.
No one knew where he went.
In this way, Yan Jing stayed by the Sixth Prince's side, always keeping in mind the instructions of his old master, and always working hard for the Sixth Prince.
Over the years, he helped him gain the emperor's trust and became the most prestigious prince among many princes.
But what he got in return now was that the Sixth Prince wanted to kill him to silence him!
Yan Jing was completely disappointed.
He left the tent, but saw the sour scholar standing not far away.
Yan Jing was stunned and recognized that the other person was Jie Chen's man.
The sour scholar took two steps forward and said, "The master will be waiting for you at Fenglin Slope in the city at midnight tonight. He has something to discuss. As for whether to come or not, it's up to you to decide."
After saying that, he left.
Yan Jing's eyebrows jumped.
Xie Chen is looking for him? Why?
evening.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Xiangying was led by a maid and finally left the yard.
The little maidservant in front kept on telling him, "This time the Sixth Prince wants to see you. The governor has a few words for me to tell you. When you see the Sixth Prince, don't throw yourself into his arms, lest you make him unhappy."
"Also, if His Highness wants to spend the night with you, you cannot resist..."
She was halfway through her words when there was no movement behind her. She turned around and saw that Xiangying, who had been following her, was gone! ?
The little maid was stunned and looked around: "Where is she! Someone come quickly, she ran away!"
However, Xiangying did not run away, but just heard faint crying sounds when he passed by the garden just now.
She followed the sound and came to a brightly lit yard.
Looking inside the door, I saw someone kneeling in the yard, praying to the moon.
"God of the Moon, please bless my daughter's face to get better quickly and not have more ulcers."
The person who spoke was Lu Panchu, the daughter of Lu Taishou.
The pimples and blackheads on her face were a little more serious than when Xiangying saw her with the drone a few days ago.
The little girl didn't know where she heard the folk remedy from, saying that by praying to the gods and basking in the moonlight, she could regain her beauty.
Look, there was an incense burner in the yard, and she knelt down and prayed sincerely, sobbing.
Xiangying took out the medical-grade beauty ointment from the space, squeezed it into a porcelain bottle, and put it in his hand.
"Ms. Lu, don't cry. I can heal your face."
As soon as she walked into the yard, Lu Panchu was startled.
The tearful eyes looked at her in astonishment and vigilance: "Who are you?"
The two maids behind him quickly protected Lu Panchu behind them. They observed Xiangying's appearance and exclaimed, "This is the imprisoned Princess of Western Zhou!"
"How dare you escape here? Someone, come quickly!"
But at this moment, Lu Panchu suddenly raised his hand to stop them from shouting.
She stared at Xiangying in confusion: "You just said that you can cure the disease on my face, is this true?"
Xiangying nodded: "In our Western Zhou Dynasty palace, there is a special ointment. When young girls apply it, it can beautify their skin. When grandmas apply it, they can stay young forever. We call it the art of keeping youth."
She made up a name casually, but it made Lu Panchu's eyes light up.
No matter how bad the Western Zhou Dynasty was, it was once a prosperous country.
And this princess who came from the Western Zhou Dynasty must know many secret palace medicines.
"As long as you can heal me, I will let my father give you whatever you want!"
After Lu Panchu finished speaking, he added: "Except for not letting you leave, you can put forward any other conditions you want."
These words hit the mark exactly what Xiangying wanted.
"It's a deal."
Lu Panchu brought Xiangying into the house, and Xiangying asked her to lie down.
Mix warm water and salt water and apply it to Lu Panchu first. Then Xiangying uses a sterilized silver needle to prick her pimples and blackheads, and then applies the ointment in the space.
In fact, even if you don’t pick the pimple and just apply the ointment, it will get better.
The procedure Xiangying performed was a bit complicated, in order to make Lu Panchu believe that it looked like the real thing.
As soon as the ointment was applied, Lu Panchu covered his mouth and exclaimed.
"It's refreshing and cool, and it has the scent of roses!"
"This is a secret recipe of our palace, the result of countless doctors' research. Miss Lu, smell it carefully, is there any medicinal fragrance?"
Lu Panchu sniffed and nodded repeatedly: "It is true."
Xiangying sighed, "But I can't stay here for long, I have to go."
Lu Panchu quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "You want to leave? I just applied the medicine!"
Xiangying expressed helplessness: "But the Sixth Prince has appointed me to serve, and I have no choice but to go..."
Lu Panchu's eyes revealed understanding.
She didn't want anyone to serve the Sixth Prince ahead of time.
Then he rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'll solve it for you. Lan Ting, tell my father for me that I'm keeping Xiangying, and ask the Sixth Prince to go back!"
They were already chatting here, while the Sixth Prince was pacing back and forth in the purple forest in the Prefect's Mansion.
His face was gloomy, and he held a folding fan in his hand, tapping his palm gently.
This Xiangying is so bold, how dare he make him wait for so long?
Once he succeeds, he will definitely punish her!
Finally, the little maid led a graceful figure over.
The Sixth Prince did not see the other person's face clearly, and said coldly: "You are finally here, and you have kept me waiting for a long time."
However, the other party approached, bowed shyly and said: "My daughter Xiang Qianqian, I pay my respects to Your Highness."
The Sixth Prince was stunned.
The fifth princess is Xiang Qianqian? What about Xiang Ying?
The little maidservant lowered her head in fear and said, "After Xiangying and I came out, we were taken away by the eldest lady. The governor was afraid that Your Highness would have no one to accompany him for dinner, so he asked me to invite the fifth princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty to come."
