Chapter 137 (1/2)
137 The forces involved in the Sang Bo case (1)
The second Princess lived in “shaoyin Palace,” which was a spacious and elegant villa.
The guard leader led Xu Qi ‘an over the high threshold and around the screen wall. In front of them was a courtyard full of the innocence of young girls.
There was a swing hanging on the grapevine rack, a pile of broken mud puppets in the corner, and a pile of strange things could be vaguely seen in the pavilion on the east side.
At the edge of the flower garden on the west side, the second Princess of Lin an brought a few servant girls to play embroidered balls. In the female’s noisy chattering, sometimes it was mixed with the silver bell-like laughter of the princess of Lin an.
“Your Highness, I’ve brought Xu Qi ‘an.” The guard Captain cupped his fists from a distance and said loudly.
The second Princess stepped on the silk ball and turned around. She stared at Xu Qi ‘an for a few seconds, raised the corner of her mouth, and kicked the silk ball away.
Bang! Bang!
The embroidered ball flew out and the skirt of the princess of Lin an suddenly exploded into a circle, like a blooming flower.
Xu Qian, who had been intimidated by the horse’s might, felt a chill in his heart. He was about to Dodge, but he suddenly held back. The silk ball missed and bounced into the distance.
“…. I’ll spare you this time.” The second Princess tried to save her dignity by walking to the front hall. Xu Qi ‘an, come in with me. The rest of you wait outside.
In the Grand and luxurious front hall, the second Princess sat on a big chair, and Xu Qi ‘an stood in the middle. The two of them silently examined each other.
The second Princess tried to force Xu Qi ‘an to give in by using her identity as the princess and her gaze.
She knew that when huaiqing was young, there was a period of time when he had to tame an Eagle. An Eagle’s eyes were the sharpest, like a knife. Ordinary people could not look at it for a long time, so in the process of taming an Eagle, one had to use a sharper and calmer gaze to suppress it.
Once the Eagle trainer looked away, he would lose the qualification to be the Eagle’s master.
The purpose of huaiqing’s Eagle training was to train his sharp eyes. The second Princess still did not dare to look huaiqing in the eye for a long time.
It was a pity that her pair of watery peach blossom eyes really didn’t have any killing power. When she stared straight at people, there was a kind of desire to say something but not to say it.
Xu Qi ‘an sized up the second Princess. Her face was round and similar to Chu Caiwei’s, but the latter was sweet and had big, two-dimensional eyes.
The second Princess, on the other hand, was a young, mature-looking beauty. Her peach-shaped eyes were filled with love for everyone.
“Xu Qi ‘an, I heard that you are huaiqing’s loyal dog.” The second Princess sneered when she saw that her fierce gaze was unable to intimidate Xu Qi ‘an, and she used words to attack him.
“Yes, I’m called eighth Duke.” Xu Qi ‘an said sincerely.
“What’s the eighth Duke?”
“It’s a loyal dog,”
“Are you toying with bengong?” The princess of Lin an raised her eyebrows.
“I don’t dare to.” Xu Qi ‘an said in a neutral tone.
Princess Lin an gave a tender Humph and said,”bengong will give you a chance, immediately throw yourself to me and get rid of that woman huaiqing.” Or else …”
Seek refuge with you? I’m already hugging the eldest princess’s legs, Wei Yuan’s legs. If I go to you … Wouldn’t I be a slave to the three families?
Xu Qi ‘an shook his head. I’m sorry. I’ve already sworn to be your slave. I’ll do anything for you.
“Then I want you to be my slave,” the second Princess said immediately.
Then are you going to give me grass? Xu Qi ‘an understood the situation. The second Princess saw that he was appreciated by the eldest Princess and was the eldest princess’s Lackey. He was handsome, could write poems, and had a good voice. She was jealous and wanted to take him away from the eldest Princess.
“Second Princess, please don’t force me.” Xu Qi ‘an refused sternly. People had to follow the spirit of the contract. Since he had agreed to work for the eldest Princess, he could not rely on anyone else.
if you don’t want to, ” the second Princess widened her eyes and sneered, “”I’m going to scream and tell the guards that you’re trying to molest me.”
“I’m willing to do anything for you, second Princess.” Xu Qi ‘an said sincerely.
The second Princess was elated. . wise man submits to fate. You are a talent … En, in the future, after noon, you will come here to see bengong and be at bengong’s beck and call.”
“Your Highness, I’m on a mission to investigate the Mulberry case.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.
“…. Princess Lin an thought for a while.”Then let’s forget about tomorrow. When bengong wants to order you around, you can come again.”
Xu Qi ‘an understood that this woman was just messing around. She didn’t really want him to do anything. She just wanted to find trouble with the eldest Princess.
The threat just now was not lethal. The reputation of a Princess in exchange for his dog life was a huge loss!
It was precisely because he had understood that he had changed his attitude and agreed to the second princess’s request. He would just treat it as playing with a child and casually deal with it.
“You may leave.” The second Princess was in a good mood because things were going well.
“Yes.”
wait, ” the second Princess called out to him and took off the jade pendant on her waist.”This is a token of mine. You can use it to enter the palace and the guards will not stop you. However, you can only go to my place. You can’t go anywhere else,”
….. So generous? You’re probably a hammer. Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes lit up. She took the jade pendant and put it in her pocket.”From now on, I will be loyal to Your Highness with all my heart.”
The slave of the three families, Xu Qi ‘an, left the Imperial City before dusk and rode back to the watchman’s Yamen.
The duty at the Yamen had already been dismissed, leaving only the night watchmen and officials on duty. It was much colder and quieter than during the day.
As soon as Xu Qi ‘an entered the Yamen, a golden gong with a high nose and a wide forehead came up to him. It was Zhu chengzhu’s father, Zhu Yang.
