Chapter 222: Full of Mysteries
Huo Mao is like a smiling fox, speaking very skillfully and in an impenetrable manner.
When he saw Lin Pianran, his gaze, like a motor, kept sweeping over her, was full of aggression, scrutiny and examination, which made Lin Pianran very unhappy.
This person completely shattered my previous impression.
What is a modest gentleman? What is gentle and polite?
It's all bullshit.
This person is obviously very shrewd, but he also exudes an ambition and evil that is difficult to detect.
He seemed to know something, but he could not help but hold it in and endure it.
It was as if he actually knew nothing.
In short, Lin Pianran couldn't see through him at all, and he seemed like a very hidden person.
Lin Pianran smiled brightly, holding Huo Yuchen's hand and shaking it, and said delicately, "Your Highness, I'm tired from playing. Let's find a pavilion to rest for a while, okay?"
Huo Yuchen smiled and nodded, his face full of indulgence and doting.
Huo Mao behind him was in disbelief. Is this still the Crown Prince who is well-mannered and aloof from women?
It seems that we need to investigate the relationship between the prince and Lin Pianran.
It was completely inconsistent with the information he knew.
Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran walked together to a pavilion.
Huo Mao quickly called the servants and brought over several plates of exquisite pastries, candied fruits and the like.
Then, he said hello to Huo Yuchen and left in a hurry.
Lin Pianran stared at the direction he left, fearing that the direction he left was where Gu Xiangsi and the others were. She was worried that the matter would be exposed and all their arrangements would be in vain.
But unexpectedly, he did not go west, but went east.
I knew that it was not because the truth was revealed, but because Huo Mao must have other things to do.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
After Huo Mao left, Lin Pianran dismissed the servants of Prince Zhao's mansion.
We were the only ones left in the pavilion.
The two of them then began to talk without any restraint.
Huo Yuchen looked at the direction where Huo Mao left, thoughtfully.
He said calmly, "That direction is exactly where Huo Qing is."
"It seems that he has been sending people to keep an eye on Huo Qing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about the slightest movement so quickly."
Lin Pianran asked with a smile, "But did brothers Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai go there?"
"Well, they used to have a good relationship with Huo Qing. They were all friends who grew up together."
"It's just that in recent years, ever since Huo Qing became disabled, we've been interacting less and less."
"Huo Qing was once a brave and skilled general on the battlefield, winning many battles."
"He was an upright, open-minded, brave and fearless man, but now he's trapped in that little world and has become unrecognizable. What a pity!"
Lin Pianran had heard Huo Qing's name many times and became very curious about him.
"There's something unusual and strange about Prince Zhao's mansion. These sons of Prince Zhao are all extraordinary. Your Highness should pay more attention to them in the future."
"Especially Huo Mao, Huo Duan, and Huo Ye, they all seem like people with hidden talents."
Huo Yuchen nodded, agreeing very much.
"I haven't been to Prince Zhao's mansion for several years. I haven't seen these young masters in several years, and I don't know them very well."
"If Pian Pian hadn't mentioned that this Zhao Palace was very unusual, I might not have come here to investigate."
"I just had someone investigate Princess Lu's courtyard and discovered that there are a large number of secret guards hiding outside the courtyard. It's guarded tightly, which is really strange."
"Why would a princess who is in poor health and seriously ill receive so much attention? There must be something fishy going on."
"Tonight, I and Baili Qingyun are planning to come over for a walk to see if there are any other discoveries."
Lin Pianran moved closer to Huo Yuchen, gently pulled his sleeve, and said worriedly, "Be careful, bring enough people with you, don't get hurt, I'll be sad..."
Huo Yuchen took Lin Pianran's hand and they held hands tightly.
The man's big hands were very warm, with some rough calluses. The warmth spread through Lin Pianran's body through their tightly clasped hands, making her feel a little hot all over.
Huo Yuchen also secretly used his fingers to tickle the back of Lin Pianran's hand.
Lin Pianran didn't give in to him either. She stretched out her other hand and scratched the back of Huo Yuchen's hand, unwilling to be outdone.
The two of them were frolicking and playing, eating, talking, and playing...
Half an hour passed quickly, and Lin Pianran felt that everything that should have happened should have happened.
She smiled softly, took Huo Yuchen's hand, and was about to walk out of the pavilion.
"Let's go check it out! I think the truth has been exposed. Now is a good time to go and watch the fun."
The look of eagerness to see the show was hilarious.
Huo Yuchen touched Lin Pianran's head with a faint smile on his face.
"Let's go! The Crown Princess who loves to join in the fun."
At this time, the locker room was already crowded with people watching the fun.
The leaders were Concubine Li from Prince Zhao's Mansion and the old lady from Duke Ying's Mansion.
The Duke of Yingguo's Mansion has always been loyal to Crown Prince Huo Yuchen. Their two sons, Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai, are both highly valued by His Highness the Crown Prince.
The fact that the old lady of the Duke of Yingguo’s mansion could attend today’s banquet was all arranged by Huo Yuchen.
This old lady Shen was also a member of the royal family. According to seniority, she should be considered Huo Yuchen's great-aunt. She also had the imperial title of a princess. Most people did not dare to act rashly in front of her.
Moreover, she has great say and her words carry great weight.
Just now, Madam Shen accidentally spilled wine on her clothes in front of everyone, so she needed to find a place to change into a clean set of clothes.
Concubine Lin naturally accompanied them cautiously. The other noble ladies naturally would not miss the opportunity to curry favor with the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. They also said they wanted to go out and relax and get some fresh air. They all followed behind like a long dragon.
It can be seen that Madam Shen’s appeal is very strong.
So, all of a sudden, more than a dozen ladies went to the changing room together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I approached here, I heard a burst of soft music that lasted for a long time.
The woman's delicate and charming crying sound, sometimes high, sometimes low, sobbing...
Almost all the people who came were wives from various families, and only a few young girls came with their elders.
When the ladies heard these obscene sounds, they naturally knew what was going on and understood it immediately.
Their faces all looked very bad.
I don’t know who has the guts to do such a shameful thing here.
Especially Concubine Li's expression, which was extremely ugly and pale.
If there really were someone having an affair or fooling around here, then the Zhao Palace would be brought disgrace to its reputation.
Who is it?
