Hearing the coldness in his voice, Qing Wu clicked her tongue, and the charming and gentle expression on her face turned into laziness and wantonness. She pinched Xiao Chenyan's chin, not hiding the aggression in her eyes.
"In my hand, I do hold something. This is my dowry. If Your Majesty wants it, you have to pay something, right?"
"Besides, when my daughter returns home, my mother's family will have to bring some gifts. Your Majesty, you have to give me some face."
Xiao Chenyan looked at her meaningfully.
dowry?
This dowry seemed to be given to her by him, but he really wanted to see what she was going to exchange from him with this 'dowry'?
Whether it is a human or a ghost, they all have their own agenda.
Yun Qingwu, what are you trying to achieve?
"you say."
"Then~" Qing Wu's eyes rolled, "Give me a few mountains of gold and silver, ten mansions, twenty maids and servants, and ~ twenty horses."
Luqiao and Hongrui came over with hot water. When they heard this from outside the curtain, their eyes widened. Then they heard Qingwu become stern:
"My request is just a small one, isn't it? If you can't even satisfy this small request, Your Highness is too stingy."
Luqiao was impatient and wanted to rush in when she heard that, but was stopped by Hongrui.
Lu Qiao stamped her feet and cursed in a low voice: "She is too much. Is that a small request? Even if we strip our palace of everything, we can't raise that much money."
These princes often live in the northern border, and the court is very stingy in providing military pay for the northern border troops. The princes themselves are also very frugal, and any money they have is invested in the army.
Qing Wu and Xiao Chenyan were both very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, so they naturally heard the maidservant muttering outside.
A smile flashed in Qing Wu's eyes.
Although Xiao Chenyan was not annoyed, he felt that she was teasing him again.
Ghosts seem to particularly enjoy playing tricks on people.
"Your Majesty thought that the princess and your father had a bad relationship, but I never thought that she was quite good at supporting her family."
"Alas, who made me a filial person~"
Qing Wu sighed and changed the subject: "My father is so pitiful that he has to send his son away when he is young."
"As his daughter, of course I have to help him organize his sister's funeral in a hurry. There is no such thing as too much gold, silver, BMWs and luxury cars. At least she will have some spare money after she passes away."
Xiao Chenyan was slightly startled, and his eyes suddenly changed when he saw her.
Outside the curtain, the two little maids also widened their eyes. Did they understand correctly?
The "mountains of gold and silver" she mentioned refers to...
"Princess, do you want the prince to give you a bunch of paper figurines as a gift?"
"Yeah~" Qing Wu winked at him with evil intentions.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her cunning appearance, and for a moment, he saw the shadow of the little girl when she was a child on her face.
His heart suddenly tightened, Xiao Chenyan loosened his hand, took a step back, and the anger that was deeply buried in his heart leaked out a little but was then suppressed again.
That little kid is dead, so any similarity is just a coincidence.
I couldn't tell if the person in front of me was a human or a ghost, and it was even less likely to be her.
The other party's "intentions" were completely different from what he had guessed.
He really wanted to scare Yun Houxing to death or anger him to death.
"Just these, aren't they a bit shabby and embarrassing for the princess?" Xiao Chenyan said calmly.
Qing Wu curled her lips and pressed on: "It sounds like I'm at a disadvantage, so how about... the rest... Prince... pay with your body?"
The evil spirit in him was like a tonic to her.
Xiao Chenyan frowned, turned around and left: "Princess, please do as you please."
Qing Wu sighed, thinking, men, they want something but are unwilling to give it.
"Xiao Chenyan."
Qing Wu took out the hidden box and chased after her. She saw the man stop and look at her. His profile was perfect, his figure was like a dragon and a phoenix, and he looked like a dark cloud pressing down on snow, reserved and compelling.
"then."
She threw the box over, and the man caught it steadily with one hand. Xiao Chenyan's eyes showed a strange look.
Qing Wu stood with her hands behind her back, looking less charming and seductive, like an iris blooming quietly in the night, mysterious and lively.
"I'll give you the 'dowry' first. My dear, you have to show off your wealth to me."
"That's right."
Her voice softened a bit, less frivolous than usual.
"When you feel cold, come to me."
Xiao Chenyan looked at her deeply, without saying yes or no, he just said thank you, turned around and walked away.
A little girl whispered beside him: "Princess, Princess..."
Lu Qiao was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood the princess."
Hongrui also bowed and saluted.
Qing Wu looked at the two of them, thought of something, and went straight into the house.
The two women looked at each other, somewhat confused and slightly nervous.
After a while, Qing Wu came out and handed the two of them three red talismans folded into a triangle, "Gift for meeting, keep it close to you to ward off ghosts and evil spirits."
The two women looked at each other and felt that the red talisman was a little hot.
They were not ordinary maids, but members of the secret guards themselves, so they naturally knew that Qing Wu's identity was "strange". Xiao Chenyan sent them to serve her, with the intention of monitoring her and also to find out the truth.
Speaking of exorcism...
The person in front of me...isn't he really a ghost?
Hong Rui was very careful: "Princess, who is this extra red talisman for?"
"I'll just keep telling you that I'm a ghost, so you can be careful and not let me suck all your energy away, you little brat."
Luqiaohongrui: Hiss——How did the princess know about this?
In the distance, Baisui sneezed loudly. He pinched his nose and muttered to himself: Who is scolding me?
The next day.
Qing Wu tidied up the house and got up so early that she was yawning all the way.
The carriage was waiting outside the palace, with a dozen personal soldiers in black armor following behind on horseback, creating a rather solemn and murderous atmosphere.
But behind them there were several large paper carts containing mountains of gold and silver, BMW cars, and young boys and girls.
Qing Wu sighed: "It's still not good enough, we should call someone to play the suona."
Lu Qiao snickered: "The princess is so filial."
"That's right~" Qing Wu raised her eyebrows: "After all, we are father and daughter, so we should be filial to each other until death."
Other people around: Yun Houxing will really be ridiculed to death.
Qing Wu noticed that the attitude of the people in the palace towards her today was obviously different from before.
She guessed that it was because of the bills she gave last night.
Luqiao helped her get on the carriage. Baisui pulled Hongrui aside and said with a pout, "What are you doing? Are you also bewitched by the devil?"
Hong Rui rolled her eyes at him and stuffed a red talisman into his hand.
"What?"
"The princess gave it to me, saying it was to drive away ghosts and evil spirits."
Baisui's face turned pale and he wanted to throw it away on the spot.
The curtain of the car was opened, Qing Wu poked her head out, and said with a ghostly smile: "Hold it tightly, or be careful of ghosts knocking on your door at night to suck your yang energy."
Baisui's whole body was stiff, not daring to move.
After scaring the child, Qing Wu was in a good mood and laughed happily.
A man's deep voice sounded beside me: "Is teasing people considered human nature?"
Qing Wu turned her head and met that pair of calm and auspicious eyes.
It wasn't surprising that Xiao Chenyan accompanied her to the temple today. After all, it was a legitimate opportunity to go and watch the fun, so who would miss it?
But his complexion looked much worse than yesterday, and he had put on the fire fox cloak again. It seemed that he had not had a good night last night.
Qing Wu curled her lips. He was really asking for trouble. She had handed him a ladder yesterday, but he didn't know how to climb up.
"When I see others unhappy, I feel happy." Qing Wu naturally sat closer to him, "Is Your Majesty feeling cold? Why didn't you come to see me last night?"
The carriage was already moving.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her for a long time, as if he was estimating something.
"Have you seen the account?" He did not ask Qing Wu how she got it. Both the man and the ghost were smart people.
Some things are clear in your heart and there is no need to point them out.
Qing Wu hummed, "Is this dowry heavy enough?"
"It's really rich." Xiao Chenyan pondered for a moment: "Besides the account book, is there anything else in the box?"
“No more.”
Xiao Chenyan frowned, but it couldn't be said that he was disappointed.
Yunhou Xingdang deliberately delayed military affairs and delayed food supplies, and later stood up to frame Zhenguo Hou for treason.
Even if we were to look for evidence of his guilt, after so many years, the evidence would have probably been destroyed long ago.
Even so, the accounts in hand were enough to make Yun Houxing surrender.
However, out of caution, he had to explore the secret room himself.
While he was thinking, Qing Wu suddenly hugged his arm, and Xiao Chenyan was pulled down by her, and the cool fragrance of the woman's body hit his nostrils.
The dog's excited look of plotting loudly and secretly made Xiao Chenyan's nerves twitch again, and he felt a sense of familiarity.
Memories from his childhood flashed back to his mind. Every time that little girl got into trouble, she would pull him like this:
——Brother Yantai, come here, I will tell you...
"Xiao Chenyan, come closer, I'll tell you..."
Xiao Chenyan came to his senses, suppressed the waves in his heart, and said inexplicably hoarse: "You say."
"I need a place that is safe and hidden, preferably a big place to hide things."
"What are you hiding?" Xiao Chenyan had a hunch that she was up to something again.
Qing Wu said happily: "Of course it's my dowry~"
She wanted to take away all the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Yun Houxing's secret room! All of them!
