"With the Regent here, how dare you speak? Get out of here!" Before Gu Linchao could speak, Gu Yi suddenly rushed forward and kicked the steward.
Upon hearing this, the steward finally understood and broke out in a cold sweat.
Their prince fears neither heaven nor earth, but the person he fears most is the current regent.
Little did he know that the Regent, so busy with state affairs, would suddenly come to this Tunzhou.
Oh no, he actually revealed to the Regent that his prince frequented brothels...
He hurriedly tried to back down, but Xiao Yan grabbed his arm and snatched the invitation from his hand.
"You can go now." Xiao Yan patted his shoulder with a smile.
The manager, sweating profusely, withdrew.
Gu Yi stood nervously to the side, trying to explain, "Uncle, please don't misunderstand. I've been studying literature and martial arts at home without ever slacking off. As for that Hundred Flowers Pavilion, I've never set foot there..."
"Is that so?" Gu Linchao glanced at him and interrupted him in a low voice, "Since you have never been involved, why did the manager of Baihualou, who is so familiar with you, personally come to deliver an invitation to you?"
"After all, I am in charge of the affairs of Tunzhou. They... they are trying to bribe and curry favor with me. I have always been taught by you to disdain associating with them, and I have never accepted a single benefit from them," Gu Yi hurriedly explained, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
The Imperial Uncle's voice wasn't loud, but it was so imposing that it made it hard to breathe.
In a short time, he was already drenched in sweat.
It takes immense courage to speak to the Imperial Uncle.
Gu Linchao neither agreed nor disagreed. He was actually quite familiar with his nephew's behavior, but he knew how to conduct himself properly, so he simply turned a blind eye.
While the two were talking, Xiao Yan had already read through the contents of the invitation.
After reading it, he couldn't resist the urge to read it.
In the lower right corner of the invitation, there was a drawing of a beautiful woman with a snow-white belly, her face mysteriously veiled, dancing gracefully as if she were about to step out of the invitation.
This painting skill is superb; the person is painted so lifelike that they seem to come alive.
He was a regular at brothels and had seen all kinds of beauties, but he had never seen a foreign beauty who could sing and dance in a brothel.
Looking at the pictures of beautiful women on the invitation, his curiosity was completely piqued, and he couldn't wait to go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to find out for himself.
Thinking it over, he put the invitation into his pocket and said to Gu Linchao with a serious face: "Hengzhi, I'm sorry to trouble you to come to Tunzhou to find someone. I suppose the person you're looking for is my nephew's wife. The Hundred Flowers Pavilion was so lively tonight. Given my nephew's wife's personality, she might have gone there to have fun. Why don't we go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion together and see if we can find her there?"
This was purely a fabrication by Xiao Yan, just an excuse to go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion openly and legitimately.
Gu Linchao knew him well and naturally understood his thoughts as soon as he heard it.
but……
Last time, Wen Nong Nong also went to that brothel, although she was dragged there by A Tuo and Jiang Hua. But this time, she was accompanied by the reckless Wen Ting Yun. Who knows, the two of them might actually go to that Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Linchao surprisingly nodded in agreement, "Mm."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Gu Yi looked as if they had been struck by lightning.
The two stared wide-eyed and gaped, as if they had witnessed something extraordinary.
Did they hear that right?
The Imperial Uncle (Hengzhi) is actually going to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion?!
