Chu Ziyang put down his feet and curled his lips guiltily.
"You mean, I am the culprit!"
Is not it?
The red ghost couldn't speak directly, so he had to say in a roundabout way: "Although you didn't know the true identity of the princess at that time, you did act as the promoter of the deposed emperor in Bei'an City. The little princess must remember it!"
"Impossible! Are you stupid?"
Chu Ziyang waved his hand, and he couldn't stand the sour smell of the hand that touched his feet.
"Liang Yue was only this big back then!"
Chu Ziyang gestured, "She's just a baby, she can't possibly remember things! As long as we put all the responsibility on the deposed emperor, Liang Yue won't be suspicious."
"Master, I am not trying to throw cold water on you, but you should be prepared for the worst. I think the princess should remember everything."
The red ghost is not an alarmist. From what Liang Yue said in the hall today, he has already heard the clues.
The princess might not only remember it, she might even hold a grudge!
Back then, the madman and the child were imprisoned in the quarry dungeon. The Marquis would torture the madman every now and then. Every night, they would take the madman out of the dungeon. In addition to heavy labor, whipping and burning were commonplace. In the cold winter, In the twelfth lunar month, they would force the lunatic to pull a cart filled with heavy stones outside. The lunatic's legs were worn out by kneeling for a long time, and the kneecaps were clearly visible.
The red ghost was lucky that they didn't take out their anger on the child. At most, they would have starved her. Otherwise, the red ghost felt that they might have gone to hell by now.
Chu Ziyang felt that the red ghost was a bit unfounded and exaggerated.
"No! You think too much!"
"Master Hou!" The red ghost still wanted to persuade Chu Ziyang, but Chu Ziyang changed the subject.
"Did you send the invitation? Did the people from Prince Rui's Mansion accept it?"
The red ghost was helpless, his master was too stupid, he had to make more preparations.
"Sent it off, the door of Prince Rui's Mansion is closed, no one answered."
"Tsk! Gu Huaijiu, this madman! He's always stumbling upon me." Chu Zi was so angry that he said, "Sooner or later, I'll have to cut off his head and use it as a ball!"
"Master, please stop being so crazy, right?"
After listening to the words of the red ghost, Chu Ziyang pointed at the red ghost and said angrily: "I said Liang Hualou, are you a little jealous! You are going against me no matter what I say! Are you deliberately angry with me! I My feet are hurt! I am a sick person now! Even if you don’t greet your master with greetings, you even say some depressing words! Are you planning to make me angry to death? What happened to my brother who took refuge with you? "
"I don't dare. I have no brothers."
The red ghost knelt down in front of Chu Ziyang and said seriously: "It is the princess's business to inquire about the welfare of the princess. The subordinates are responsible for protecting the safety of the master. This is not Bei'an City. There are people who care about wine everywhere. Even if the master suspects the subordinate, the subordinate Also tell the truth!”
Chu Ziyang retracted his fingers angrily. He didn't really want to get angry.
"Get up."
The red ghost didn't get up, so he continued: "I only have one mother, and my mother only has one son. In my eyes, I have no brothers, only my master."
Chu Ziyang stood up to help the red ghost and raised his injured foot. He was a little unsteady, but he still had to hold on. It was because of his words and deeds just now that he was wrong.
"Okay, okay, I said it unintentionally. Do you have to ask me to apologize to you before you can change the story?"
Chu Ziyang reached out to grab the red ghost's mask, but the red ghost covered his face with his arms, stood up and retreated three feet away from Chu Ziyang.
"What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders! I can just take a look, okay?"
The red ghost cupped his hands at Chu Ziyang and said, "My subordinates, please retire."
"Eh?"
Chu Ziyang had a foot injury and it was difficult to catch up.
He sat back on the couch and looked out the window. The bustling sounds of people came to his ears. After nine years, Yuntian City was still the same as before.
When Chu Ziyang first came to Yuntian City, he was still a child and had no memory. He and his sister were nestled in the arms of their mother. They only knew that this was a prosperous place that was much larger than their Bei'an City.
When he came back, he had already inherited the position of city lord and brought his sister to Yuntian City to congratulate the late emperor on his birthday.
At that time, my sister was only twenty-eight years old. She didn't like making cars, so she followed him on horseback on the street.
"Brother, look at those buskers. You said their chests were broken with big stones. Is that true?"
My younger sister, Chu Ge, is a talkative person. She won’t talk idle words since she got up in the morning. If there is anything she wants to say, she will never let it be stopped from her mouth.
Chu Ziyang was thinking about entering the palace, so he just smiled and said, "Yeah, maybe."
Chu Ge pouted and tugged on the horse's reins unhappily: "I'll leave first. You can go into the palace alone! There are so many rules in the palace, and I won't join in the fun! If I cause trouble for you, you and Brother Hualou will scold you again. Me!"
Chu Ziyang grabbed the reins and rode away without telling Chu Ge.
"Come back! The capital city is not our Bei'an City. Where can I find you if you get lost!"
"Then you don't talk to me one by one! When I say something to you, you just say "uh-huh" and "uh-huh" to deal with me! I am the biological sister of your Bei'an City Lord Chu Ziyang! You are not good to me, wait for me Go home and tell your mother! Let her teach you!"
Being so harassed by Chu Ge, Chu Ziyang completely forgot all the drafts he had made in his heart to talk to the emperor.
"Auntie, we were wrong, right?"
Chu Ziyang reined in his horse and pointed to a restaurant on the street, "It's still early, let's go have something to eat and drink, okay?"
The red ghost also helped Chu Ziyang speak: "Miss, do you want to try the delicious food in the capital? Our lady is the pickiest eater. If the lady thinks it tastes good, then it is really good!"
"Of course, girl, my mouth can taste all kinds of flavors in the world!"
Chu Ge got off his horse, threw away his riding whip, and headed towards the restaurant, "Let me have a taste, girl, to see if the food in Beijing is better than the food in Bei'an City!"
Chu Ziyang followed immediately. His sister could only be quiet for a while when she was eating and sleeping.
The name of the restaurant is: "Peony House". The peony is the king of flowers. Could it be that the owner of the restaurant deliberately metaphorically means that their restaurant is "the best restaurant in the world"?
"Master, the lady has already gone upstairs."
The red ghost reminded Chu Ziyang, who withdrew his gaze and entered the building.
Just then, someone was about to enter from the other side. This person was wearing apricot clothes and holding a silver-sheathed sword. He was about the same height as himself, but a little slimmer.
"Ouch! You're here!"
A middle-aged man came out of the door. Judging from his appearance and eagerness, he must be the shopkeeper of Peony House.
This man was as handsome as Shun Hua and as tall as a orchid orchid tree. Chu Ziyang couldn't help but take a second look. He looked a little younger than himself, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, just like a little red in the snow.
"Aren't you coming? I want to eat your baked goods. I wonder if the shopkeeper is prepared today?"
The man's casual and friendly manner seemed a bit inconsistent with his luxurious clothes.
The shopkeeper led the man upstairs: "As long as it's you, I can come anytime! The White Peony Room has been reserved for you!"
