Chapter 48
Liu Xia kowtowed fiercely, "I only recognize you as my master."
He had never been respected by anyone before. Song Yushu was the only one, and the only one who trusted him immensely.
"I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously." Song Yushu pulled Liu Xia to her feet. "I don't really like people kneeling around all the time. Since I'm King Jing's man, you naturally have to obey him. It's no different."
Song Yushu really doesn't care about Lu Zhixing using his own power. Her power actually belongs to Lu Zhixing. She can't tell the difference.
"Thank you, Master." Liu Xia gave Song Yushu a deep look. "Now that you've gone to the Prince's Mansion, can you come and go freely?"
Song Yushu moved to a place where a delicate beauty stepped, sat cross-legged, took out a bag of food from his arms, and began to eat. "I just got the news that I can leave the Prince's Mansion, but I don't think I can leave freely."
Liu Xia originally thought that Song Yushu was the son of a wealthy family, but she didn't expect that he was just a eunuch beside King Jing, and he was also a person who climbed up from the bottom.
But he had never seen Song Yushu reveal any trace of self-pity. He treated everyone equally. Even towards himself who had been a pimp and Yanhong in the brothel, he never showed any disgust.
From being a famous figure in Prince Jing's Mansion to serving the Crown Prince in the Crown Prince's Mansion, he was surrounded by dangers and could lose his life at any time, but he remained calm and composed, which made Liu Xia admire him very much.
"Then you have to be careful. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suspicious and ungrateful, and he is not an easy person to get along with." Liu Xia frowned, worried about Song Yushu's days in the Crown Prince's Mansion.
Song Yushu was rather curious. She handed the oil-paper bag to Liu Xia and asked curiously, "How do you know that the Crown Prince is suspicious and ungrateful? He's an excellent actor and has a good reputation in the court."
In sharp contrast to Lu Zhixing's arrogance and recklessness is Lu Yanzhou's gentleness and restraint, which is known to the entire Kyoto.
"People in brothels can know a lot of things that ordinary people don't know." Liu Xia looked at Song Yushu who was approaching him and swallowed unconsciously. He carefully picked up a piece of cake in the oil paper bag.
This was also the reason why she wanted to cooperate with Liu Xia in the first place. Song Yushu chuckled and didn't ask any further questions. She put down the oil paper bag and stretched lazily. "Go and complete the tasks assigned to you by the prince. I may not be able to contact you at any time recently."
"Yes, Master."
"The Ministry of Rites has the biggest flaw right now. We can start with the Ministry of Rites. I believe that's what His Majesty means."
Liu Xia nodded. "Yanhong has a regular customer who is the lover of the girl in the building. He is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and a close confidant of Minister Tao. He has done a lot of things for him."
"What are the weaknesses of this doctor?" Song Yushu recalled the person he and Lu Zhixing had met in the Ministry of Rites. That person looked like a greedy person, as expected.
"This man is greedy for money and profit, especially gambling. He spends all his money in brothels and casinos." Liu Xia frowned slightly because Lu Zhixing's mission weighed on her mind.
"I mentioned before that I would have Yanhong send spies to the residences of various officials. Has it been effective? Are there any in Minister Tao's residence?"
"Yanhong has already planted quite a few spies, and there happens to be one in Minister Tao's mansion, who is his newly taken concubine." Liu Xia looked at Song Yushu, who was propping up his head lazily, and pursed her lips. "The prince also intends to use the doctor's connection, combined with the connections in Minister Tao's mansion, to set a trap to lure him into it."
Song Yushu nodded. Lu Zhixing's mind was indeed very quick. As long as he wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't do. It seemed that the biggest failure of the Lin family in the future was giving up Lu Zhixing.
"Your Highness, this is a very good idea, but Minister Tao is not stupid. If you want to lure him into the game, you must do things cleanly and efficiently without leaving any clues." Song Yushu lowered his eyes and thought for a while. It seems that he also needs to make good use of his advantages in the Prince's Mansion and add some information to Minister Tao.
Song Yushu couldn't stay long this time. After understanding the current situation with Liu Xia, he left Yuzhu Pavilion. As soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he met Xia Xingde who was about to leave the mansion.
"Looks like you had a good time." Xia Xingde looked gloomily at Song Yushu, whose hands were full of things.
"It's been a long time since we've been able to leave the house. We really had a great time this time." Song Yushu nodded sincerely and handed over the things in his hand. "Do you want some, Mr. Xia?"
It’s either food or food. You can tell at a glance that it was bought on the street.
Xia Xingde frowned in disdain and waved away Song Yushu's hand, "Put these cheap food away from you!"
Song Yushu shrugged, looked at Xia Xingde and chuckled, then turned and left.
Xia Xingde was so angry that he stood there and cursed with gritted teeth, "Damn eunuch, sooner or later, he will kill this guy with his own hands!"
Song Yushu went to see Lu Yanzhou first and asked Lu Yanzhou if he wanted to eat it. Of course, it was impossible for Lu Yanzhou to eat these things of unknown origin.
"It seems you had a good time." Lu Yanzhou was worthy of being the one who grew up under Xia Xingde's care, and he said the same thing. He looked at the rosy-faced Song Yushu with interest and waved at her.
"In reply to Your Highness, it has been a long time since I played with my friends. It's true that I had a good time." Song Yushu nodded honestly and stepped forward obediently.
Lu Yanzhou shook his head happily. The only one who could be lively in front of him was this little eunuch. The others all had stern faces and looked extremely bored.
He stared at Song Yushu and narrowed his eyes. "I agree if you want to go out and have fun, but it's better if you don't hang around in those romantic places."
Song Yushu knew that there was definitely someone following her when she went out, but she did not act sneakily. After all, she met Lu Yanzhou at Yuzhu Pavilion before.
She hung her head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Seeing Song Yushu unhappy, Lu Yanzhou also felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "You don't have to look so sad. Don't be so open when you go."
"Your servant thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Song Yushu happily bowed deeply to Lu Yanzhou, looking very funny.
Lu Yanzhou's heart also brightened as he watched. He sighed softly, "It would be great if there was someone as likable as you in my palace."
"I am now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's servant." Song Yushu diligently poured tea and water for Lu Yanzhou. "I am a loyal and honest person and would never do anything two-faced. As long as I stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion, you are my only master."
Even though he knew that Song Yushu was lying, Lu Yanzhou's joy did not diminish in the slightest. From his initial interest in Song Yushu to his quarrel with Lu Zhixing, it was because of Lu Zhixing that he paid attention to this little eunuch.
"If you only recognize me, why do you always target Xingde?"
