Chapter 141 Visiting to Test
An hour later, the carriage stopped at Prince Lan's Palace.
Lan Yan immediately whispered, "There are people watching all around. It seems that the emperor is still worried about Prince Lan."
Zhuo Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Who do you think the emperor can trust? Not to mention his son."
Lan Yan's mouth twitched. He thought about it and realized that the old emperor actually coveted his master Mo Yunzhu. He couldn't help but curl his lips.
The old emperor became a eunuch. Even if he coveted his master, he could not do anything manly.
Thinking about what his master had told him to do next, he always felt that his master really understood everything, and thought three steps ahead before doing one step, which made people feel at ease unconsciously.
After the guard reported it, just as Zhuo Yu had expected, Prince Lan let the two people in.
"It's so cold and the repairs have stopped. It looks like they will not resume until the new year." Zhuo Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for Prince Lan when he saw that the tiles in a yard had not been repaired.
After being a hostage for ten years, the treatment I received when I returned was too bad.
"Well, but Prince Lan has no wives or concubines, and there aren't many people, so he doesn't need so many courtyards." Lan Yan said, "The red plum blossoms are blooming over there, and they are really beautiful."
He saw a circle of red plum blossoms beside the rockery, which was very eye-catching.
Butler Zhao came forward and led the two of them to Xuanji Courtyard.
Hao Jiang came over and politely asked the two to wait in the study. The heater in the study had just been lit, but it was not warm yet.
Jun Huolan was not feeling well and did not need to attend the morning court, so he would not get up until after the hour of Chen. It was too cold outside, so he had to warm up the whole house before he would go out.
"Prince Lan's body is really weak." Lan Yan sighed, "He is especially afraid of the cold."
Zhuo Yu nodded, but thinking of the dark shadow last night, if it was Prince Lan, it would be impossible for him to be too afraid of the cold.
Just like him, he only had a single set of clothes inside and a fur coat outside. Lan Yan was dressed similarly.
Haojiang disappeared after serving tea.
Zhuo Yu and Lan Yan drank tea. As the room warmed up, they both took off their fur coats.
In the main hall, coughing sounds were heard from time to time, and Zhuo Yu knew it was Jun Huolan's as soon as he heard it.
I thought to myself, if the shadow last night was him, how could he have held it in all the way without coughing? Could it really not be him?
Then there must be some very powerful masters in his house, but if so, how could Prince Lan end up like this?
At this moment, Mo Yunzhu had already received the note sent by Yuan Qing, which said that Zhuo Yu had gone to Prince Lan's Mansion.
Mo Yunzhu frowned. She and Zhuo Yu had not had any contact since the transaction that killed Zhang Guangnian.
Of course, she was still waiting for his Thousand Bow Grass to be transferred over. Calculating the date, it should be time, but why didn't he come to find her, but went to find Jun Huolan instead?
But she was not worried, because Prince Lan and Lan Yan knew everything about her and Zhuo Yu.
Suddenly, Chang Teng ran in.
"Miss, I just heard that silver rained down at night in the slums in the south of the city."
Mo Yunzhu and Yuan Qing were both stunned.
"What? Money?" Yuan Qing almost laughed out loud, "How is that possible!"
"No, actually someone just distributed silver. I heard that every household got one or two taels of silver. The whole slum was bowing to thank God."
Chang Teng said: "I guess some kind-hearted rich person is giving away money. It's almost the New Year, so that those people can have a full meal."
Mo Yunzhu narrowed her eyes, she felt something was wrong.
"Any other news?"
Chang Teng shook his head, but soon Mo Er came again. He was Ye Er among the assassins and now he was Mo Yunzhu's bodyguard.
These people were sent out by Mo Yunzhu to follow people and collect various types of information.
"Miss, I just got a piece of news. The largest casino in the east of the city was robbed last night. All the small change from three days' revenue was stolen. This morning, people in the poor areas in the south of the city found silver. It must be the silver that was stolen from the casino."
Chang Teng clapped his hands and said, "That's right, someone is robbing the rich to help the poor! They stole the money from the casino in the east city and distributed New Year's goods to the common people!"
"Who owns the largest casino in the east of the city?" Mo Yunzhu asked immediately.
"The Prince's Mansion." Mo Er said.
Mo Yunzhu's expression suddenly changed, and then she immediately stood up and said, "Yuanqing, prepare the carriage. I'm going to Prince Lan's Mansion. Chang Teng, go and prepare two beautiful lanterns! Mo Er, you continue to gather information, especially from the Prince's Mansion."
Everyone was startled by her, agreed, and went to do the work immediately.
Mo Yunzhu arrived at Prince Lan's Mansion as quickly as possible.
Butler Zhao was beaming with joy when he saw Mo Yunzhu coming, because with Mo Yunzhu as the future princess, the palace could be said to be living a very comfortable life.
The prince said that life was better because the princess had fought for the Lan Palace.
"Uncle Zhao, are there guests?" Mo Yunzhu asked deliberately, while Yuan Qing behind her was holding two red rabbit lanterns.
"It was Young Master Lan Yan who brought a young master named Zhuo here. The prince hasn't gotten up yet, so they are waiting in the study." Zhao Bo said with a smile.
Mo Yunzhu calmed down instantly. If she guessed correctly, the thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor last night must be Jun Huolan.
Zhuo Yu goes out to look for female thieves every night, so it is very likely that Zhuo Yu sees Jun Huo Lan, so today Zhuo Yu either came to test him or point it out directly.
Zhuo Yu should have deduced that this thief and the female thief were in cahoots, and he came to ask Jun Huolan about the female thief.
When Mo Yunzhu arrived at the study room of Xuanji Courtyard, she smiled and said, "Master Zhuo, Master Lan, I didn't expect you to be here earlier than me."
Zhuo Yu was a little dazed when he saw Mo Yunzhu’s bright face, as if he hadn’t seen her for many days. She seemed to be even more beautiful.
"Why is Miss Mo here?" Lan Yan was standing behind Zhuo Yu, so she winked at Mo Yunzhu.
"It's the 27th day of the lunar year. I'm here to give the prince two rabbit lanterns. I have to go buy New Year's goods later. Why are you two here to see Prince Lan? Master Zhuo, are you okay?"
Before Zhuo Yu could come to his senses, Mo Yunzhu leaned her head out to look at him. He immediately came to his senses and his face turned red.
"Nothing. By the way, I was just about to come look for you. The Thousand Bow Grass has arrived." He said as he took it out from his arms.
Mo Yunzhu was very surprised and said, "Great, I'll have someone send the silver to Wanyao Pavilion later."
Zhuo Yu nodded, and Mo Yunzhu said, "Has Prince Lan not come out yet? It's so cold, his body really can't stand it."
"Cough cough cough." A cough was heard, and Prince Lan came in with the support of Feng Yan.
The thick fur coat wrapped him completely, and his neck was covered with thick mink fur, which made him look very warm.
But his face still looked very sick, and his lips were a little pale.
Everyone stood up and saluted Jun Huolan.
"Ahem, you're welcome. Please sit down. The weather is really cold. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." He said to Zhuo Yu and Lan Yan.
"Yunzhu, why are you here?" Prince Lan said the last sentence while looking at Mo Yunzhu.
"I'm going to buy New Year's goods, and I'll bring you a rabbit lantern by the way. I'll ask Haojiang to hang it in the study to add to the festive atmosphere." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
Jun Huolan's eyes were filled with affection. After saying "OK", he looked at Zhuo Yu and Lan Yan.
"Master Zhuo, it's rare for you to come to my house, but do you have something to ask me?"
