Luo Yi sat in the small courtyard and watched Su Minglou busy with his own business.
I have to cook and entertain Mr. Cao myself.
Elder Xuan couldn't stop him, so he had to apologize to Luo Yi first, and then help his highness start the stove and light the fire.
Bai Jingmeng sat on the stone bench, swaying his legs, looking left and right, then put his hand to his mouth and asked secretly: "Is this the palace?"
Luo Yi nodded.
He suddenly remembered Jing Haoran's evaluation of Su Minglou, and couldn't help laughing for a moment.
Really grounded enough.
Just looking at the layout of the summer palace, as well as the prince's clothing and mannerisms, if outsiders didn't know his identity, it would be impossible for outsiders to associate Su Minglou with the former prince as the same person.
He looks exactly like a young businessman.
Luo Yi glanced at the few side dishes on the stone table. They were the most common side dishes, and they were considered dishes that every household in the Tyrant Dynasty could afford.
A jar of apricot blossom wine is placed on the stone table. This wine is not an extremely expensive immortal wine. If you put it in the market, you can buy several jars with a few taels of silver.
There were no gold bottles for wine, and there were only a few ceramic bowls on the table.
Luo Yi poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Bai Jingmeng.
This little girl really likes drinking at such a young age, and she has a very good drinking capacity.
Bai Jingmeng took a sip, smacked his lips, and scratched his head.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want."
Bai Jingmeng stretched out a finger and dipped it in the wine bowl, then put it in his mouth. After a long while, he whispered: "Just average."
Luo Yi nodded, "It's really average."
At this time, Su Minglou was wearing an apron, carrying a large plate of drunken shrimps, and walked over with a bright smile: "Come on, come on, come and try my craft."
Luo Yi said directly: "My newbie said your drink is just average."
Su Minglou laughed and shrugged: "Mr. Cao, do you think I look rich in this dress?"
Luo Yi didn't bother to be aggressive and nodded: "It really doesn't look like it."
Su Minglou took off his apron and invited Mr. Xuan to sit down and eat together. Mr. Xuan was not polite. He first bowed to Cao Mo with clasped fists, and then slowly sat down.
Luo Yi reached out and placed the peace card on the table without saying anything. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating by himself, occasionally helping Bai Jingmeng pick up a few side dishes.
Mr. Xuan picked up the wine jar and was about to pour wine for a few people, but Su Minglou snatched the wine jar and poured the wine himself.
Even Bai Jingmeng's wine bowl was filled.
Bai Jingmeng chuckled: "Thank you, Xiaolou."
Su Minglou was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded to Bai Jingmeng.
Mr. Xuan narrowed his eyes, but didn't say anything.
Luo Yi drank wine with a calm expression. It wasn't that Bai Jingmeng was being naughty. The phrase "small building" was actually Luo Yi's secret instruction.
He also wanted to see how tolerant this fourth prince was.
The result surprised Luo Yi. Instead of being unhappy at all, Su Minglou personally offered Bai Jingmeng a bowl of wine, with the edge of the bowl even slightly lower than Bai Jingmeng's.
Most importantly, there is no pretense.
Luo Yi sighed in his heart. In recent years, Luo Dynasty has always been outnumbered by the Tyrant Dynasty. It seems that it is not without reason.
The Luo Dynasty royal family is almost in ruins.
And the royal children of the Tyrant Dynasty are all unfathomable.
Not talking about others, just talking about Su Minglou, it surprised Luo Yi.
Just when Luo Yi was having a drink with Su Minglou in the summer palace, there was an undercurrent surging in the imperial city.
After Luo Yi entered the city, he actually felt several powerful auras locking on him in an instant, as if there were several pairs of eyes secretly spying on him, but they stopped there so as not to make people unhappy.
Luo Yi had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, and he didn't even bother to cover up his breath.
So when Luo Yi first arrived at the entrance of the summer palace, the other palaces were already brightly lit.
——
In the Frost Palace, a servant knelt on one knee.
Ahead, the eldest prince Su Xuanshan frowned slightly and waved his hand gently, indicating that the servant could leave.
After a moment, a beautiful and slim woman walked over slowly. The woman folded her hands on her abdomen and her collar was slightly lowered. She bent down slightly to salute, and then laughed softly: "Your Highness, are you worried?"
Su Xuanshan looked solemn, pondered for a moment, and said, "That Mr. Cao went to the summer palace."
The woman was slightly surprised: "The fourth prince's palace?"
Su Xuanshan nodded.
The woman thought for a while and said, "If Your Highness is willing, you can naturally meet Mr. Cao in person."
Su Xuanshan said nothing, wondering what he was thinking.
The woman added: "Let's not talk about whether Mr. Cao is willing to help the fourth prince to participate in the seizure of the heir. Your highness, your current prestige in the court is already far beyond the reach of the fourth prince."
Su Xuanshan said: "Having said that, Mr. Cao is a heaven-appraisal master. If my imperial brother really gets Mr. Cao's help, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."
The woman smiled sweetly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. No matter what conditions the fourth prince can offer, your Highness only needs to be one step above him. No matter how courteous the corporal, you still have to worry about winning over him. Not that Mr. Cao?"
Su Xuanshan was still a little inexplicably worried. His fourth emperor brother seemed to be gentle and well-spoken.
But he knew that Su Minglou was a madman.
In this world, except for the second and third sons, no one knows Su Minglou better than him.
The four brothers and sisters have all seen through each other to the extreme, and they even understand each other better than themselves!
——
At the same time, in the Corona Palace, a feminine-looking man slowly put on his boots and clothes and left the palace.
An old servant outside the door bent slightly and asked softly: "Your Highness, are you going to the summer palace?"
The second prince smiled slightly and said, "Go to Shuangjiang Palace to meet my eldest brother."
The old servant nodded slowly.
The second prince, Su Congyun, suddenly stopped after leaving the palace gate.
He turned his head slightly, looking across the high palace wall, across the deep palace passage, towards the direction of the summer palace from a distance.
No one knew what he was thinking.
He just stood there, saying nothing, watching quietly.
After a moment, the old servant reminded softly: "Your Highness."
Su Congyun withdrew his gaze and looked at the old servant.
The old servant bent down a little more and smiled humbly.
This old servant had been with him for thirty years, doing his best to serve him.
But he knew that this old servant was actually the person placed by his elder brother Su Xuanshan.
But, so what?
Su Congyun looked at the old servant and smiled.
"Let's go."
——
In the palace to escape the cold, there was a tall, beautiful woman wearing a fox robe, with bare feet, looking in the direction of the palace to escape the summer, in a daze.
After a while, she wrinkled her nose and looked up at the night sky.
Cherry's little mouth opened slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief at her slender jade hands.
It seems like winter is coming soon.
For a long time, Su Youlan muttered to herself.
"It's going to change."
In the summer palace, Luo Yi gently put down his wine bowl and suddenly said: "The wind is blowing."
Su Minglou smiled.
"Sir, you don't know. The wind never stops inside this palace wall."
Luo Yi was slightly lost in thought and said something to himself in his heart.
"Actually, I know."
Ever since Luo Yi entered the palace, his scenes in Luo Dynasty could not help but appear in his mind.
I want to forget, but how can I forget?
Luo Yi poured himself a bowl of wine, but he didn't drink it, he just watched.
Su Minglou was silent for a while, and finally said, "Sir, please help me ascend to the position of prince."
Luo Yi was not surprised at all and just asked: "Why?"
Su Minglou looked at Luo Yi with bright eyes, "What I can give to Mr., others can't."
Mr. Xuan's expression changed slightly.
Bai Jingmeng didn't care how shocking the conversation between the two was, he just peeled shrimps, drank wine, and giggled.
Luo Yi turned to look at Su Minglou.
Su Minglou's expression remained as usual, with confidence shining in his eyes.
"If sir, you don't want to help me, why would you come here to see me?"
Luo Yi said calmly: "Why don't you think I'm waiting for a price?"
"You should know in your heart that now everyone knows that I am in the summer palace and come to see you."
Su Minglou said: "Clear."
Luo Yi added: "Then I only need to walk out of this summer palace and go elsewhere, and your royal brothers will definitely give a higher price than you."
Su Minglou nodded and said, "Indeed."
Luo Yi smiled, "Then why do you do that?"
Su Minglou's eyes were still shining. He was not in a hurry to speak, but stood up slowly, walked around Bai Jingmeng, and walked to Luo Yi.
Su Minglou said with a serious face: "As a master of heaven, there is no need to wait for a price here. If you come to see me, I will already know the answer in your mind."
"That being the case, I, Su Minglou, don't know how to show off. I don't want to, and I don't dare."
"Sir asked me why."
Su Minglou smiled and took a few steps back.
The next moment, Mr. Xuan stood up directly and looked at Su Minglou with a shocked expression!
Su Minglou naturally drooped his arms, shook his sleeves, and then knelt in front of Luo Yi!
Kneel down on your knees and perform the three kowtows.
Su Minglou said something.
"Sir, would you like to be the emperor's master?"
…
The sun rises and the moon sets, white clouds wander in the sky, and the sun first appears.
A few rays of sunlight shone into the high walls of the palace, and Luo Yi took Bai Jingmeng out of the palace.
The peace and quiet sign is still hanging on Luo Yi's waist...
The two of them walked towards Jingtian Pavilion.
Bai Jingmeng asked something in the middle.
"Is he really so poor? He doesn't even give us those precious drinks."
Luo Yi smiled, thought for a while, and said softly: "Actually, it's not poor. This drink is the most expensive drink in this dynasty."
Bai Jingmeng scratched his head and muttered softly.
"It's obviously very cheap."
Luo Yi gave her a chestnut blow gently and said with a smile: "You will know later."
Su Minglou also said something else at that time.
"I would like to be Mr.'s marionette."
Then this meal of wine should be regarded as the most expensive meal Su Minglou has ever had in his life.
He was originally thinking of finding a reason to agree to Su Minglou's participation in the matter of seizing the heir.
After all, with his apparent status as a heavenly appraiser, he should not be able to despise the prices offered by these princes at all.
But I didn't expect Su Minglou to be so determined that he would marry the entire Ba Tian Dynasty.
The entire Tyrant Dynasty is a gift, even a high-ranking Heaven Appraisal Master will not turn a blind eye, right?
This just gave him a reason to use his identity as Cao Mo to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent.
…
After the two returned to Wutong Courtyard, Luo Yi arranged a room for Bai Jingmeng and asked her to live here in the future. If she wanted to go out, she should tell him. If he was not here, he would contact Jingge The Lord says hello.
I don’t know if the little girl heard it, but she agreed and ran into the room.
Because Jingtian Pavilion sent several sets of fine silk and satin clothes, the little girl looked very interested and must have been in a hurry to change clothes.
In the previous pavilion, in addition to the few sets of clothes that were obviously given to Bai Jingmeng, there were also three hundred high-grade Yuanling coins and the palm-sized wind-chasing boat neatly placed.
On that day, Jing Haoran personally sent Chu Mengli back to the Chu family, and the Fengchui boat was still in Jing Haoran's hands. Luo Yi didn't ask for it. He thought that Jing Haoran would just pretend to be stupid. In the end, the Fengzhou boat was just like that. It was nothing, and it was unbelievable that the Master of Jing Pavilion actually sent Zhui Fengzhou back.
He is a very kind person.
Luo Yi sat here quietly for a moment. Now that he has reached the ninth level of the Star Pulse Realm, his use of the Obsidian Dharma Eye has naturally improved to a higher level. The causal threads on his body still need to be slowly peeled off.
Although this thing will not cause any substantial harm to Luo Yi, it will affect his luck. In short, it is a hundred harms without any benefit. Luo Yi naturally has to slowly get rid of it.
After two or three hours, Luo Yi could only unravel more than ten causal threads. This speed was really surprisingly slow.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Luo Yi frowned, "Come in."
The one who pushed open the door was the shameless Wei Qing!
Luo Yi's heart sank. Before he left last night, he had told Wei Qing to come to Wutong Courtyard to find him if anything happened.
Wei Qing closed the door and Luo Yi asked, "What happened?"
Wei Qing looked a little ugly and said, "The Chen family, the Chen family is here to cause trouble again!"
Luo Yi frowned, it shouldn't be, the Chu family is in a delicate state now, would anyone dare to cause trouble at this time?
Wei Qing explained: "There is a man named Chen Xiao in the Chen family. It is said that he just came back from the Eternal Secret Realm. When he learned that his brother was deposed by His Highness, he broke into the Chu family directly and asked the Chu family to hand over His Highness!"
Luo Yi's mind suddenly changed, things were definitely not that simple.
Ever since Chu Mengli came back from the Ten Thousand Bones Death Spirit Tower, especially after Jing Haoran personally sent her back to the mansion and Su Yuxi apologized in public, almost no one dared to trouble Chu Mengli at this time!
Chen Su'an, the head of the Chen family, even disappeared without a word about Chen Yun's deposedness!
Luo Yi didn't believe that Chen Xiao dared to act like this. If there was no one behind him to instigate him, how dare he come to the Chu family to cause trouble?
And he was looking for me by name...
Luo Yi seemed to have thought of something, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Wei Qing and asked, "What is Chen Xiao's attitude towards everyone in the Chu family after he arrives?"
Wei Qing thought for a while and said truthfully: "The attitude is very good, polite and polite, and even brought a lot of apology. Then Chen Xiao first apologized to Miss Mengli on behalf of the entire Chen family, and then asked the Chu family to pay homage to them by name. Your Highness came out to ask for an explanation."
Luo Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, as expected!
The Chen family didn't dare to do anything to Chu Mengli, or even take action against the Chu family, so they pointed the finger at themselves.
After all, he was just a hostage, a son-in-law, and an insignificant person to the Chu family.
He was even ashamed of himself.
But the Chen family should not be so stupid, because no matter who they target at this time, as long as it is on the three-thirds of the Chu family's land, it is destined to be a puddle of muddy water.
Chen Xiao must not dare to make independent decisions. What he is doing at this moment must have been approved by Chen Su'an.
In this case...
Luo Yi sneered.
"Well, Chu Tiankuo, you are really good at calculating."
Want to get rid of yourself with the help of the Chen family?
