Out of the Elephant House.
Qin Huan walked on the street expressionlessly, with a hint of sullenness in his eyes, very unhappy.
Zhen Fei followed behind and glanced helplessly at the carriage.
If the prince wants to walk, he can only follow him.
Judging from this momentum, he must have been angered by King Han again.
As they walked, the two walked out of the bustling area and came to a brothel.
Qin Huan raised his head and glanced at the plaque.
Yanchun Pavilion?
He had heard about this brothel. The girls in it were not as good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy or painting, and were far less famous than the girls in the Shihuayuan.
With sharp eyes, the madam saw Qin Huan dressed in gorgeous clothes and immediately came forward to greet him.
"This handsome young man, come to Yanchun Pavilion to rest for a while? Our girls are not good at playing, playing and singing, but they are all pretty and lovely~"
Qin Huan raised his eyelids, but he didn't expect the madam to be self-aware.
But how many beautiful people could be in such a brothel?
He walked in sullenly.
The madam's smile reached from ear to ear, and she looked like she was a financial owner!
"What kind of person do you like, young master? We have gentle, charming, quiet and restrained ones here -"
The madam shook her fat body slightly.
"There are also those who are plump and round and those who are charming and graceful. What kind of girl does the young master like?"
Qin Huan glanced at the singers in the lobby. They did have different styles, green, fat, red and thin.
"Then one of each type."
The old bustard smiled brightly and immediately shouted: "Lv Ying, Hong Lan, Hui'er, Yi'er, Lanzhi! Come here and show me!"
After a while, a group of graceful women moved lightly and stood in front of Qin Huan holding different musical instruments.
Qin Huan's eyelids rolled, but there was no movement.
As expected, there is no disappointment if there is no hope.
"That girl named Yi'er, who is she?"
The woman holding the pipa took a step forward slightly, leaned back and said, "My slave, Lu Yi'er, Yangliu Yiyi's Yi."
Qin Huan looked at her expressionlessly. His waist was very thin, his figure was too thin, but his skin was like jade bones and ice skin, and he had a faint smile on his round face.
It looks pretty pleasing to the eye.
"Just you."
The old bustard immediately said: "Yi'er, how nice of you to greet this young master!"
Lu Yi'er took Qin Huan to the wing on the third floor.
Different from the semi-open wing on the second floor, the room here is larger and the four treasures of the study are all available in the house.
"What do you call the young master?"
Lu Yi'er picked up the teapot and brewed a cup of tea calmly.
The flow of tea was smooth and smooth, which surprised Qin Huan.
This action is more delicate than that of the girl from the Flower Garden.
"Just call me Sixth Young Master."
"Yes, Sixth Young Master."
Lu Yi'er handed over the tea cup.
Qin Huan took the tea cup, and the aroma of cloudy tea filled the air, but he knew as soon as he smelled it that the tea was not of the highest quality.
"Sixth Young Master, can Yi'er play you a piece of music?"
Lu Yi'er looked at him expectantly.
Qin Huan nodded casually.
"It's not that I'm in love with the world, I seem to have been misled by my destiny~"
Lu Yi'er's voice is average, but she does play the pipa well.
A good saying is not to love the wind!
Qin Huan sipped hot tea, and soon a girl brought some refreshments.
Time passes quietly.
After spending such a peaceful afternoon, Qin Huan actually felt a little satisfied.
He couldn't help but look at Lu Yi'er carefully.
The facial features are not exquisite, but the eyes are soft and warm, revealing kindness and gentleness.
His voice was also very soft when he spoke.
Qin Huan made a stop motion towards her.
"Fang Ling? Where are you from?"
Lu Yi'er's heart tightened. Could it be that this young master has taken a liking to her?
She was inexplicably nervous. She had never seen the young master in front of her before, but he looked like he was dressed like this and had a noble status.
Moreover, he is very handsome, and he is someone that he would never dare to dream about.
"My family is eighteen this year. I am from Pingshan Village near the capital."
After speaking, Lu Yi'er hugged Pipa tightly, bit her lip and whispered: "I haven't done the grooming ceremony yet..."
Qin Huan chuckled, and the idea of redeeming herself for her did come into his mind.
He calculated with his fingers that Lin Xuan'er was almost six months pregnant. He would take her back home in a few days.
"I can redeem you as my concubine, but I will need you to serve as my concubine in the future. Are you willing?"
Prince?
Be a concubine?
Lu Yi'er looked at him in shock. Although she didn't know what she would face, she resolutely believed that the man in front of her was the one she was destined for.
"The slave family is willing!"
Qin Huan stood up and stretched out his hand to her.
Lu Yier held him back dullly.
Happiness came so quickly, she still couldn't believe it was true.
The two girls working side by side widened their eyes in envy.
Qin Huan pulled Lu Yier to the madam on the first floor.
"How much silver will it cost to redeem her life?"
The madam looked at Qin Huan blankly. Lu Yi'er was not the top guy in the building, nor was she worth much money.
Apart from being good at playing the pipa, he knew nothing about poetry or painting.
At most one thousand taels.
When the words came to her mouth, the madam swallowed them again.
The jade pendant on the waist of the man in front of me is probably worth tens of thousands taels.
Then double it.
"Yier is the best pipa player in our building. If the young master wants to redeem himself, it will cost him two thousand taels anyway."
"Five thousand taels is it. Formation Fei, silver notes."
The madam was shocked on the spot, staring at Qin Huan without blinking.
Who is this young man?
Such a generous offer.
"Thank you, sir."
Zhen Fei took out a five thousand tael silver note from his wallet and handed it over.
He was a little puzzled that the woman named Lu Yi'er did not have alluring looks. To be honest, she could only be described as having an average appearance.
Has the prince lowered his aesthetic taste?
The madam quickly glanced at the handyman girl on the side.
"Hurry up and change Yi'er's clothes!"
Lu Yi'er looked shy, but she didn't expect that the prince would be willing to pay five thousand taels to redeem her life.
She is willing to be a cow or a horse!
"No need. There is nothing missing in the house."
Qin Huan lowered his head and looked at Lu Yi'er.
"Is there anything you want to take away?"
Lu Yi'er still had a peach-like face, her lips parted slightly, as if she was immersed in a sweet dream.
The madam quickly pushed her.
"Yier, the young master is asking you something."
"The slave family, the slave family..."
Lu Yi'er lowered her head. To put it bluntly, she didn't have a small treasury. All the jewelry that could be sold was used to replace the Pipa in her hand.
"There is only this pipa... Your Majesty, can I take this pipa with me? I bought it with all my savings..."
"Just take it with you. There are a few five-stringed pipas at home, you can try them too."
Lu Yi'er nodded vigorously. The only thing she could play well was the pipa. She must also practice the five-string pipa well!
Qin Huan pulled Lu Yi'er out.
"Thank you very much, young master. Please come here often, young master!"
The madam shook the handkerchief out of habit and suddenly remembered that Lu Yi'er had called him prince just now.
A prince actually came to his brothel!
She rushed out and took another look at Qin Huan's back, but they had already gotten into the carriage.
Which prince is it?
Qin Huan brought Lu Yi'er back to his house. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Butler Zheng already standing at the gate with his head nodded.
"Your Majesty, my uncle is here."
Qin Huan's eyes lit up, could there be something good going on?
"Where's my uncle?"
"In the banquet hall, the old slave served some fine wine and snacks."
Lu Yi'er stared at the plaque blankly, and it turned out that the man in front of her was Prince Huan!
She was good at observing people's words and emotions. Qin Huan didn't say anything along the way, so she didn't ask any questions and just held the pipa tightly with both hands.
The ones who can call themselves princes today are King Han, King Huan and King Yi.
Looking at his age, she guessed he was King Han or King Huan.
But King Han has a cold temperament, could he be King Huan?
But the man in front of me is extremely handsome, and it seems that only King Han can have such an appearance...
"Steward Zheng, take Miss Lu to the west wing and clean up a room with a yard."
Butler Zheng took a look at Lu Yi'er. The scent of powder on her body smelled like a woman with fireworks.
Since the prince is talking about the west wing, it seems that he will most likely be taken as a concubine.
However, this appearance is too ordinary, and may not be comparable to the maids in the house.
"Miss Lu, please come with me."
Qin Huan had no time to care and had already walked quickly towards the banquet hall.
"uncle!"
Cao Changqing's eyes were slightly drunk, and he looked at Qin Huan happily.
"Huan'er, come here quickly, uncle has a gift for you today."
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms.
Qin Huan took the booklet suspiciously. This green binding should be something from the palace.
Opening the booklet, the time and name are written inside.
"Chen Liangdi, she was pregnant for three months in the ninth year of Zhaoming. Shangguan beauty, she was pregnant for two months in the ninth year of Zhaoming. Noble man, she was pregnant for seven months in the tenth year of Zhaoming——"
Qin Huan put down the booklet, vaguely aware of its significance.
"uncle?"
"Huan'er, thanks to your mother-in-law, I accidentally discovered this great treasure in the palace!"
Qin Huan sat upright and couldn't wait to listen to what his uncle would say next.
Cao Changqing looked at him proudly and said with a breath of wine: "Come, have a drink!"
Qin Huan did not pick up the wine glass, but pulled his sleeve with shining eyes.
"Uncle, tell me quickly!"
"Do you know Gao Feng, the chief eunuch in the palace?"
"I know. The life supervisor who has been in charge of my father's queen's concubines."
"In that position, the women in the harem will naturally want to curry favor with him."
Qin Huan nodded, Gao Feng was in charge according to regulations.
"What about these?"
"The queen has killed the dragon heirs over the years."
"..."
Qin Huan took another look at the brochure. Is it true?
"Uncle, this is a serious crime that has implicated the nine clans!"
Cao Changqing drank another glass of wine and suddenly became a little sad.
He had already thought about this booklet, and recalled that he had heard some rumors when he was still the censor.
Concubine Zhen is the person most capable of ascending to the position of queen.
Not for anything else, just because she is not an ordinary woman.
She is indeed not an ordinary woman who can even poison her own sister's child.
Cao Changqing admires Zhen Qiang's sister Zhen Jingzhi very much.
Her temperament is as beautiful as an orchid, and her talent is beyond immortal.
Unfortunately, not long after she was pregnant with Ryuko, she suddenly had a miscarriage and lost her child. She died on the spot from excessive blood loss.
"uncle?"
Cao Changqing poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"This booklet is handed over to you. I am a foreign minister, and it is not convenient for your mother and concubine to handle it."
Qin Huan nodded, this seemed to be an excellent opportunity for him to make a contribution.
Prince Han's Mansion.
Qin Shuihan sat in front of the window in a daze, then picked up the casings in front of him and looked at them again and again.
The poison wrapped in it is called oleander, and it is a poison specially prepared by Yiyi for Biyue.
Shen Chen used three sets of emetics and finally rescued Biyue.
Qin Shuihan closed his eyes, and the happy time with Lin Yi reappeared in his mind.
How happy I was in the past, how miserable I am now.
He stood up suddenly, and the chair beneath him fell to the ground.
Qin Shuihan, who never used objects to vent his anger, couldn't help but kick the chair away.
Hearing the sound of wood breaking, Xuanfeng who was guarding the door immediately broke in.
"master!"
A broken chair lay on the floor.
The master actually used a chair to vent his anger!
Xuanfeng's heart tightened. Wouldn't it be better to inform King Yi while his master was going crazy?
"This armchair needs to be replaced. Let's hurry up and bring a Zen chair tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Xuanfeng frowned. Doesn't the master want to become a monk?
"It's getting late, you should go and rest."
Qin Shuihan was just about to return to the bedroom when Zhong Wu rushed over with a lantern.
"Your Majesty, King Huan wants to see you."
Qin Shuihan had a gloomy face, why did Qin Huan come so late?
Facing the emperor's younger brother who also liked Yiyi, he didn't know what to say.
Could it be because we went to Junze Pavilion together?
Seeing Qin Shuihan's displeasure, Xuanfeng answered for him: "Master is tired."
Zhong Wu nodded quickly and said, "Then go and tell Prince Huan that Prince Huan is asleep."
"No, take him to the front hall."
Qin Shuihan strode towards the front hall.
Although he didn't like Qin Huan, he had saved Yiyi after all. Thinking of this, Qin Shuihan regretted it even more.
The distance from the study to the front hall is relatively long.
Qin Shuihan walked into the front hall, and Qin Huan was already sitting in the guest seat.
"Fifth brother, I will give you a big gift."
Qin Huan got straight to the point, slightly raising the corners of his mouth with absolute confidence.
Qin Shuihan concentrated his attention and sat down directly in his seat.
He stared at Qin Huan coldly, showing no interest in his gift.
Qin Huan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, sweeping away his previous pride.
Not cooperative at all, Fifth Brother is so indifferent!
Qin Shuihan forced him to continue speaking with his eyes.
Qin Huan waited for him to ask with his eyes.
The servant who came to serve tea put down his tea cup and immediately backed away in fear.
After a while, Qin Huan sighed.
"I have a way for my father to depose Queen Zhen. I will leave the third brother to you. I hope the fifth brother will not disappoint me."
A light flashed across Qin Shuihan's fish-like eyes.
Without him having to say anything, he would have killed Qin Zhe.
But what do these words mean, threatening yourself?
Qin Huan ignored his expression and continued: "I know that Yi'er's death has something to do with him, but I am not as powerful as the fifth brother, and there are not so many masters around me. Although the third brother has been demoted to a commoner, the guards are still as skilled as Forest."
"You want us to kill each other so you can ascend to the throne of Crown Prince?"
"Everyone knows that my father likes you the most! In the days when the fifth brother is not in court, my father never forgets to inquire about you from the seventh brother every time the court is over. How can I win over the fifth brother for the position of prince? "
Qin Huan put away the smile on his lips. To be fair, he had no selfish motives in this matter, he just wanted to avenge Lin Yi.
He is willing to join forces with Qin Shuihan.
Qin Shuihan was noncommittal. There were many ways to kill Qin Zhe, so he was not in a hurry.
But at this moment, he became the calm and wise King Han again.
Stealing the sky to change the day, replacing flowers and trees, secretly crossing the old warehouse.
Qin Zhe must die!
Qin Shuihan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"What gift does Sixth Brother have?"
Qin Huan was dissatisfied with his answer and came sincerely, not wanting to hear such ambiguous answers.
"Fifth brother will know tomorrow."
"Then we'll wait for tomorrow. See the guests off."
