Chapter 88: No Seduce the Princess
East Palace.
After hearing the report from his men, Lin Ye sneered, "She really only cares about my status. The status of the crown prince is so important to her!"
But the concern in her words made him feel much more stable than before.
The fear in my heart was completely relieved.
Yinyin was right. She said she didn’t care that her identity as the prince was fake.
This is obviously what she cares about most.
She was unwilling to give him the Black Hawk Guard simply because she was still angry.
His eyes darkened slightly, "How is Yinyin?"
"Your Highness, Miss Chu... hasn't been feeling well these past two days." The subordinate whispered.
Lin Ye said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to torture her in prison anymore?"
"But Her Royal Highness the Princess has given instructions before, and... His Majesty has already issued an order. Miss Chu is already a death row prisoner. The Ministry of Justice has no scruples..."
In other words, as long as the person is not killed, it's fine.
Hearing this, Lin Ye's face turned pale and he sneered, "Sister, you really have a good way!"
In order to allow him to inherit the throne according to her ideas, she had to kill Chu Yinyin.
Isn't it just because he thinks Yinyin's background and that she will affect his position as crown prince?
Since she insisted on doing things to the extreme, he had to save Chu Yinyin!
Zuihualou.
Xiao Qi glanced at Ming Xi beside Lin Zhaoyue and whispered, "Hey, Xiangrui, you're quite pleasing to me. I even brought you out."
Mingxi followed behind Lin Zhaoyue, but she was wearing a veil, so she didn't attract much attention.
He nodded slightly and did not respond to Xiao Qi, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly under his veil.
【Xiao Qi’s family has a name! 】
【Xiaoqi, be normal! 】
[Oh, Xiangrui seems happy. If you say you want to please your sister, he won't bother with your name. Hahahaha]
Xiaoqi is also dressed like a young master today, looking like a young master who ran away from someone's family.
Lin Zhaoyue happened to be out for a walk today, so she brought Xiaoqi along.
However, Zuihualou was a place of social gatherings after all, so Xiaoqi was asked to dress like a young master.
Lin Zhaoyue also made some minor modifications, so the group did not look too conspicuous.
Mother Xu immediately came over, exchanged glances with Lin Zhaoyue, and said with a very humble smile, "Dear guests, please come this way."
Xiao Qi took Lin Zhaoyue's arm and looked around. "Sister, who on earth owns this Zuihualou? It's such a good business, they've made at least three thousand taels of silver in net profit this month."
Mother Xu paused and looked back at Xiaoqi.
This is the seventh princess, of course she has seen her before.
But no one expected that the Seventh Princess would immediately reveal Zuihualou's revenue for one month.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Qi calmly, "How do you know the profit of Zuihualou?"
Xiao Qi said matter-of-factly, "Of course I calculated it. Just calculate the approximate daily customer flow and you'll know."
Mother Xu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
The accounts take a long time to calculate every month, but the Seventh Princess can see it at a glance?
Mingxi also looked at Xiaoqi in surprise.
"In the past few years, I have been trying to find out who opened Zuihualou, but I still can't find out. Otherwise, I would have wanted to invest a long time ago. Sister, tell me, who opened Zuihualou after so many years of operation?" Xiaoqi pursed her lips, her little face full of curiosity.
Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips and said, "Yeah, I'm curious too."
"Why, if you also participate in the management, can Zuihualou make more money?" Lin Zhaoyue asked as she followed Mother Xu up the stairs.
Xiao Qi puffed out his chest and said, "Of course."
Lin Zhaoyue smiled and decided to consider letting Xiaoqi run Zuihualou.
[Meibao is really obsessed with her sister, so sticky]
If Xiao Qi hadn't been sent to marry, and had continued to do her own thing, she might have become the richest man in the world.
Xiao Qi is very good at making money. She is already a wealthy woman. What do you think?
If Xiao Qi took out the family fortune, even the princess would be shocked.
[She was later sent to marry a foreign prince, and all her property was taken over by the heroine.]
[Damn, I remember now. The heroine said she wanted to start a business, so the hero used some tricks to help her get Xiaoqi's assets. It was a blatant robbery! And then the heroine used these assets to become the number one female businessman!]
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly.
Going upstairs to the elegant seats, Mother Xu immediately arranged for beautiful women to sing and dance.
Xiaoqi was very excited and couldn't take his eyes off these beauties.
Seeing that Xiaoqi liked it, Lin Zhaoyue asked Mother Xu to specially select a few good-looking actors.
The actors in Zuihualou who sell their art but not their bodies are all at the level of courtesans, and each of them, male and female, has their own charm.
Xiaoqi spends most of her time in the palace. When she sneaks out, she either goes to the bookstore or settles accounts.
Time is tight and there is no time to go to these places to play.
The last time I came here was with my sister to catch someone cheating.
This is the first time I have come in openly to see such a beauty.
So Xiaoqi watched intently and even asked Mingxi out of curiosity.
"Xiangrui, can you dance too?"
Mingxi seemed too lazy to argue with Xiaoqi about how she always called him Xiangrui.
But he snorted in disdain at her question.
Lin Zhaoyue rarely came out, so she relaxed and watched the beautiful women singing and dancing.
Mother Xu walked over to her, lowered her head and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xiao Qi was so immersed in the beautiful singing and dancing that she didn't notice at all.
But Mingxi was right next to Lin Zhaoyue, so she knew what Mother Xu was whispering to Lin Zhaoyue.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he had guessed something.
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled up, "Go down."
Mother Xu nodded respectfully and retreated.
Zhaoyue picked up the wine cup, put it to his lips and took a sip.
The lips also become fuller and more moist due to the nourishment of the wine.
Ming Xi's eyes darkened, and he leaned closer to her legs. His voice was filled with jealousy, "Your Highness, who looks better, them or me?"
Lin Zhaoyue's gaze was now on the male actor dancing the Hu Xuan dance, and she was slightly stunned when she heard Mingxi's words.
She coughed lightly and said, "Of course you look good."
Hearing this, Mingxi's brows relaxed a little, but her tone was still bitter, "Then why are you looking at them, Your Highness?"
As he spoke, he had already picked up the wine jug, moved closer to her, and poured wine for her.
There was always a faint, cool fragrance on Mingxi's body. When he poured the wine, their clothes stuck together, and his breath became even stronger and hit Zhaoyue's nostrils.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "Of course I appreciate your talent."
Mingxi is well-behaved now and doesn't always want to touch her.
She also controlled the contact with her, so now she dared to bring him with her.
Unexpectedly, biting myself once made me remember my lesson.
Mingxi said sourly, "Isn't it just dancing?"
Is Little Green Tea jealous? Hahahahahaha
[Although, I really like straight-line fishing beauties like Ming Xi, ah ah ah ah]
[Who can control this? If I were a princess, I'd force myself onto the bed and not let you get off for three days.]
Zhaoyue was about to pick up the wine glass, but Mingxi picked it up instead.
He took the initiative to bring the wine glass to her lips, and with his other hand he took off the veil, revealing that stunning face, full of charm and a seductive smile. "Your dancing is not as good as Mingxi's, what do you think, Princess?"
[Ah! I'm dead! Yes, yes, you're the prettiest!]
[Little goblin! Don't seduce the princess!]
[Hey, big villain, why don’t you come over and learn how others use their mouths?]
Lin Zhaoyue was also slightly distracted by Mingxi's beauty.
He turned away his eyes unnaturally, "Well, you look good."
Mingxi was happy and brought the wine to Zhaoyue's lips, feeding her a sip.
When he saw that her lips became more shiny and moist because of the wine he fed her, the smile on the corners of his lips deepened a little.
His Adam's apple seemed to roll slightly, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly looked away.
Only the ears still had a ripe red color.
Xiao Qi glanced over here, then immediately covered his eyes with both hands, but his eyes were clearly wide open through his fingers.
Oh, I'm so embarrassed.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
[Why is the villain here? Looks like he's here to arrest someone?]
[Are they here to capture the princess? ]
【Ahhhhhhh Princess, run! !】
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were slightly cold.
Feng Mian also walked in quickly.
"Your Highness, it was Lord Xiao who brought people from the Privy Council to apprehend the fugitive. He said he suspected the fugitive was hiding in Zuihualou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tingye stepped in.
The dense footsteps outside were heard, and it was obvious that there were well-trained soldiers surrounding them.
The moment Xiao Tingye came in, a chilling chill rushed into the entire room.
The dancing actors all stepped aside in fear.
"Your Highness the Princess seems quite relaxed." This time, there was a hint of uncontrollable anger in Jin Leng's teasing voice.
In the side room, Lin Zhaoyue was still sitting calmly in the same place.
Today she was wearing a round-necked robe with wide sleeves, which made her look cool and noble, and her demeanor casual. Although she lacked the usual princess elegance, she looked more free and unrestrained.
She just sat there calmly, relaxed and at ease, with her eyes slightly raised, looking at the person who came in calmly.
Xiao Qi stood up in fear and hid next to Lin Zhaoyue.
Ming Xi, who was leaning on Lin Zhaoyue's legs, was just surprised when she saw Xiao Tingye breaking in.
After he came in, he moved even closer to Zhao Yue, his voice becoming increasingly subdued, "Your Highness... who is he?"
Xiao Tingye glanced at Ming Xi, showing no emotion.
"Mermaid." He uttered the two words in a calm voice.
[The calm before the storm, my family, I’m scared…]
[What should I do? I'm so nervous, I can't even breathe! ]
[Ahh, I'm so nervous too. I don't dare to watch anymore!]
[This is what a villain does when he's determined to kill someone. He looks calm because in his eyes, the person is already dead!!!]
Lin Zhaoyue actually responded to Mingxi's question, speaking slowly and word by word: "The Commander of the Imperial Guards and Commander of the Privy Council, Xiao Tingye, Lord Xiao."
When she said this, her eyes met Xiao Tingye's.
Xiao Tingye's eyes showed no emotion, he simply said, "Today I have come to Zuihualou to track down a fugitive. Your Highness, could you please give me some favors?"
Lin Zhaoyue naturally didn't believe that Xiao Tingye was here to track down the fugitive.
Ming Xi raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Master Xiao."
The provocation in these words is too obvious.
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Mingxi and said calmly, "Step back."
Mingxi looked at her aggrievedly, but still stood up obediently and stepped aside.
He raised his lowered eyes slightly and stared at Xiao Tingye, and his blue eyes instantly turned into ice.
Lin Zhaoyue frowned.
Ming Xi was really courting death by provoking Xiao Tingye in front of her.
Xiao Tingye cast a cold glance at Ming Xi, and then looked at Lin Zhaoyue.
"What kind of fugitive needs Lord Xiao to come and capture him personally? I'd like to see it for myself." She picked up the wine cup nonchalantly.
Xiao Tingye curled his lips, his eyes fixed on Lin Zhaoyue, and he said in a cold and unhurried voice, "It's someone who wants to hide from me."
Lin Zhaoyue's hand holding the wine glass became unsteady.
