Although his body was poisoned, Chi Chaan recovered well under Master Yan's superb medical treatment. Within a month, the stab wound was almost healed.
Before leaving, Master Yan handed him a bottle of elixir pills and a prescription: "This is a muscle-building and bone-building pill specially developed by me. Take one pill every month. Its effect is the same as a medicinal bath. It can protect your life for three years." Worry. You are outside the palace, and my teacher is inside the palace. This is the only thing I can do for you. "
"Thank you, Master!" Chi Chao bowed three times.
"Don't be discouraged. Although you are not the King of Nanling, you are still my disciple. Whoever dares to bully you will take my name; whoever dares to kill you, I will leave his family alone for the rest of my life." Master Yan said boldly.
Chi Chao was a little moved, "Master, your hands are used to save people, not to kill. To kill, the apprentice should do it himself."
"But how old are you?"
Chi Chao smiled and said: "I will enter Guiyuan. Then there will be fewer people who kill me and they will be weaker. I can probably handle it."
"I hope so." Master Yan sighed. This apprentice is really good. If that old friend sees him, will he snatch it from me? "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and Her Royal Highness the Princess came to visit you, but you were in a coma at that time, so you asked me to say thank you. Also, this is the letter that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess left for you."
Master Yan took out a letter written in exquisite small regular script "Chi Chao personally sends this letter".
Chi Chao took it and put it in his arms.
"Aren't you curious about what His Highness wrote to you?"
"I can guess that since the difference cannot be changed, it's better not to look at it." Chi Chao said maturely.
Master Yan took out the Junzi Sword and Lu Qiyu: "This is a reward from Your Majesty for defeating the young general from the wilderness."
Chi Chaan looked at the Junzi Sword and Lu Qiyu in his hands and breathed a sigh of relief: "With these two things, Guiyuan may admit me directly. But I still have to try the exam. I don't believe how difficult the Six Arts will be."
Chi Chaan touched Lu Qi Jade, thinking that Chi Tang must really want to have it.
Chi Chaan left the palace and walked into the bustling crowd outside the palace. He didn't know that there was a person standing on the palace wall. Gui Dongdong watched him go away quietly.
"Chi Chao, in my heart you will always be the King of Nanling, and you will always be the brother Chao who stood up for me."
The immediate priority is to find a place to stay.
Chi Chaan was walking on the street and suddenly thought of a good place to go.
Chi Chaan went to a place no one expected - Yufangzhai where he drowned.
Just as he was about to enter the door of Yufangzhai, the boy at the door reached out and stopped him.
"What? Are you stopping the guests?" Chi Chaan asked.
"Do you think you are still the King of Nanling? I don't even look at you?" The boy pointed at Chi Chaan and cursed.
Chi Chaan looked at his body and saw that he was wearing civilian clothes. Without the layer of fine clothes, Yang Bu would indeed be able to beat a dog.
"Although I look bad, I have money." Chi Chaan took out ten taels of gold and threw it to the two boys, "Can I go in now?"
"Of course, uncle, please hurry up and invite us. All the girls in our Yufangzhai are stunningly beautiful. As long as you have money, you can choose from them." The boy quickly got out of the way and said with an apologetic smile.
Chi Chaan entered Yufangzhai. The decoration inside was extremely luxurious, with colorful ribbons and bright lights. Every customer has a look of ecstasy on their face. The oiran dancers on the stage all have stunning looks. Even the maids serving drinks below the stage have beautiful faces. Everything here pursues this ultimate perfection.
Chi Chaan went up to the second floor of Yufangzhai and found a seat to sit down.
No brothel girl is willing to serve him just because he is wearing civilian clothes. The boy in the cell came up and asked, "Dear guest, what do you need?"
"Bring me a cup of osmanthus nectar and a few plates of wine and appetizers. I'll reward you with the rest." Chi Chuan put a hundred taels of gold on the table.
The boy's eyes immediately lit up. The food Chi Chaan wanted was at most fifty taels of silver. So he could get more than ninety-nine taels of gold, which was money that he would never earn in his lifetime.
"Dear guest, wait a moment, the wine and food will be served immediately." The boy quickly ran to the kitchen.
Seeing Chi Chaan's generous move, the brothel girls nearby all gathered around him with smiles on their faces.
"You don't have to come forward, I'm not looking for a drink companion." Chi Chaan said to the approaching girls.
All the girls apologized and laughed, regretting that they were short-sighted and did not win the favor of the financial owner in the first time.
"How can you come to Yufangzhai and not be called a girl, but only want to eat?" A charming woman wearing a hot red satin robe sat next to Chi Chaan.
"My beautiful sister, can't you see that I'm still a young boy now? I can't do that if I call a girl. Besides, I still have to take the Guiyuan exam, so I have to pay attention to my words and deeds during this period."
The charming woman pinched Chi Chuan's cheek and said, "Little brother, don't your adults care about you?"
"Brother, I am the only one left in the family, and no one will take care of me. My sister looks kind, can she take my brother in?"
"Poor child, my sister thought to herself but still couldn't do it. If you want to stay in Yufangzhai, you can only get the consent of the head of the line. This is not a problem that money can solve."
"Yes, I know. Thank you sister for your words. These five hundred taels of gold are my brother's gratitude."
The charming woman did not accept it, but pushed it back: "Listen to my sister's advice and use the money to take the right path step by step. Otherwise, the money will be wasted. Your road has not been opened yet. You must be favored by the head of the industry, so that you can To rise rapidly in Gui's officialdom, you, a commoner, are not qualified enough."
What? Do you think of me as a person who sells off his family's property to get a job in the officialdom? I just want to live in Yufangzhai for a while. Chi Chaan was ashamed that she thought of him as such a person.
"Sister Xie reminded me that I will leave in a moment." Chi Chaan said.
"It's not too late for the prodigal to turn back." The charming woman stood up and left.
Chi Chuan picked up the wine and side dishes, put them into his mouth and chewed a few mouthfuls, then took another sip of osmanthus honey, and slowly thought about how to attract Yufangzhai's attention.
Not long after the charming woman left Chi Chaan, she came to the fourth floor of Yufangzhai. There was only one suite here - only one person lived in it.
"At the head of the line, we have persuaded that young man to leave as per your instructions." The charming woman informed the person behind the screen.
"Very good." The person inside said this and stopped talking.
"My subordinates resign."
It wasn't until the charming woman closed the door that the conversation came from inside.
"Mother, why do you have to let that person go?" A young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old said to a thirty-year-old woman who looked very much like herself, "Aren't all those who have enmity with King Nanling our friends?"
"Indeed, but have you considered who else he has a grudge against?" the charming young woman asked. "Huang Guo, Changlin Duke's Mansion, and Prime Minister An, he has too many enemies. We can't take him in. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"He has great value."
The seventeen or eighteen year old girl heard this and did not refute. Because how valuable is a dying man? Taking him in would only add to the trouble.
"Lan Zhi, wait and arrange the auction. Chang Linfeng and Hao Fufu have already arrived. Make sure Rouruo is photographed by one of Chang Linfeng and Hao Fufu. This is an excellent opportunity for us to plant a hidden line." Lin Xingshou arranged. .
"One is the largest government office in Gui State, and the other is the largest chamber of commerce in Gui State. Mother's trick is a good one."
"Oh, I just feel sorry for this child Rouruo. I wanted her to have a good family, but for Xiguo, I have to sacrifice her happiness. Help me do her ideological work."
"Yes, mother." Lin Lanzhi left.
Chi Chaan, who was eating the food, suddenly heard a loud noise, and the vocal music on the first floor stopped. Many people on the second floor ran to the buttress and looked down.
Chi Chao was also curious, so he also walked to the support platform.
On the stage in the center of the first floor, stood a cardamom girl wearing a snow-white silk dress, with freely flowing black hair, thin cherry-red lips, and pale eyebrows like distant mountains. She is so beautiful at this young age. What kind of beauty will she be when she grows up? Chi Chao praised.
"Everyone, the person on the stage is the thirteenth adopted daughter of Lin Xingshou, whose name is Rouruo. I am auctioning myself here today. Anyone who wants to bring a beautiful woman back can throw money generously. But everyone has the rules of Yufangzhai. You know, silent bidding, the highest bidder wins. In addition, Miss Rouruo wants every sponsor to write a poem for her." The madam on the stage announced.
