"Need not."
Chu Zhiyi knew what Du Hanyin was going to say, but he didn't want to hear nonsense.
"Master Du is here late at night. If you have nothing serious to do, please leave slowly without seeing him off."
Du Hanyin: "..."
The courtiers tried every means to please him. King Cheng and King Yun were eager for his late night visit, so he was even disliked when he rushed over!
OK, let him go!
Before leaving, I ate the rice dumplings that had been cooked in Liansui Sui.
"Master Du, what's going on?"
Suisui has never seen anyone else come to Jiuwang Mansion. Du Hanyin comes once in a while, and Chu Jingan also comes once in a while.
Most of the time, the front door of the Nine Princes' Mansion is deserted.
"It's okay, don't worry about him."
He usually stood up and moved around when no one was around, but this time he sat still and even Suisui handed him the glutinous rice balls.
"I heard that the emperor summoned you to the palace today?"
Lian Suisui felt that she still had to care about him, "Did I embarrass you?"
Chu Zhiyi had no appetite, so he took half a bite of the glutinous rice balls.
"No."
What is that?
"Weren't you impeached because of your grandmother's incident?"
Mr. He is still lying in bed and can't get up. She heard a lot of gossip today when she went out. She knows medical skills. Some people said that she poisoned Mr. He in revenge. Anyway, they didn't say it in front of her, but she heard it.
"No, don't think too much about it."
Chu Zhiyi took out the ring hidden in his sleeve and gave it to her.
"Don't you always want something that can protect yourself?"
Lian Suisui's eyes lit up. The turquoise ring was fresh and rich in color and exquisite in workmanship. She thought it was just an ordinary ring. She took it and took a closer look at the surface of the ring. It could be opened. There was a cave inside. It could not only hide poisonous needles, but also extract them. Here comes the copper wire.
"I asked Shuying to customize two sets of sleeve arrows and will send them to you when they are ready."
After experiencing the fear of being kidnapped last time, Lian Suisui tried to quench the poison on a needle, but that kind of thing was difficult to carry. It would be terrible if he accidentally pricked himself or the people around him.
Recently, she can only bring more guards. Even if she is said to be grand, she has to ensure her own safety first.
"very nice!"
She held the ring and couldn't put it down.
"It's too late. You can just go to bed after eating. I'll go back first!"
Lian Suisui didn't notice the injury on his leg until she left and Shuying came in with medicinal wine.
He squatted down and opened his trouser legs. His knees were red, purple and swollen. The medicinal wine was very cold on his skin and it hurt when rubbed on the wound. However, he endured it without saying a word.
"master……"
Shuying felt distressed.
"It's okay, you continue."
He could even endure the pain caused by the poison, so what did this little pain mean?
"Master, why didn't you tell the princess?"
Shuying asked the doubts in his heart. His master used to show weakness in front of the princess, but why this time...
"Is it glorious?"
Chu Zhiyi's rhetorical question left Shuying speechless, which was indeed disgraceful.
"By the way, I want to go back to Lianfu tomorrow..."
Lian Sui came back and was shocked when he saw the scene in the room.
"How... did you do this?"
Lian Suisui's eyes fell on his red and swollen knees. Chu Zhiyi put down his clothes and said quietly: "It's okay, a little injury?"
"Is this also called a minor injury? Who did it?"
The pitch gradually rises.
"Did you get it in the palace?"
He is the emperor's uncle. Who in the world can make him become like this?
Lian Suisui's heart sank.
"Bullying people like this..."
Chu Zhiyi signaled Shuying to step back.
"It's just three hours of kneeling. If I become the emperor, he may not be alive."
Chu Zhiyi didn't take it to heart at all. When he saw her leaving and returning, he asked, "Do you want me to accompany you back to Qin's house tomorrow?"
Lian Suisui shook his head.
"No, mother has arranged a marriage for my second brother, I will go back."
"Is your leg really okay?"
She was worried because she was afraid of hurting the bones. His leg had just been healed. Who knew what the root of the disease might be after all this trouble!
"It's okay. I am a winner and a loser. I have bad luck. I can't blame others."
When he went to war, he won the battle. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be established as the prince when he returned. The next step would be to ascend the throne... The uncertainty of the world was his fate!
It must be because his grandmother's matter implicated him.
Not only him, but also Lian Fangyu, even Fangyu was also implicated. I hope my second brother will not be implicated.
Lian Suisui fell into self-blame and tossed and turned at night unable to sleep.
Chu Zhiyi didn't fall asleep either.
Yishantang's account books have once again caused waves in the capital. He wants to see who will take the lead after the waters in the capital are muddied!
Late at night, an uninvited guest came to Renhe's pawn shop.
The shopkeeper was drowsy after being woken up.
"Who is it? You are not allowed to sleep at such a late night. Sir, do you want to pawn or redeem something?"
The person who came was dressed in black, wearing a hood and scarf, and held a sword in his hand. He had an aura that was not easy to mess with. He spoke in a low voice, and it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.
"Redeem something."
The shopkeeper was relieved. Such a person was not easy to deal with. If the price was too high, he would not be able to make up his mind!
"Do you have any tickets?"
The man reached out and took out a piece of paper from his waist and handed it to him. When he got closer, he saw that the skin on the back of his hand was smooth and delicate, but judging from his bones, he looked like a man.
The shopkeeper took it and took a look, and his expression changed. The items on the ticket were not ordinary items. They were deposited with him by others. The items were placed in the warehouse, but the identity of the person who came...
His hesitation was seen by the man in black.
"What, the shopkeeper doesn't want to return it?"
Not much of the things that went into the pawn shop were redeemed, and most of them were embezzled by the pawn shop. But he didn't have the guts to embezzle this item.
"I promised you that I could redeem it with the pawn ticket. Does the shopkeeper want to go back on his word?"
The man in black picked up a bag of silver and threw it on the ground. The shopkeeper didn't hesitate anymore and asked the boy to go to the warehouse to dig out the things.
A big lock on the box.
"The person who came to pawned the item didn't say what was inside and didn't give him the key. Now it's returned to Zhao intact and intact."
The man in black didn't check it, he hugged the box and disappeared into the darkness.
"Shopkeeper, what's in that box? Is it so valuable?"
The boy picked up the silver and estimated that it was more than a thousand taels.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. The more you know, the faster you will die. It's okay to get money if you have money!"
There are many secrets in the capital, and the shopkeeper is well-informed, so a thousand taels of silver is nothing.
"Put the money away, record it in the account and put it in the treasury!"
Last time he was negligent, and the people below took away the jade pendant of the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Emperor almost opened his pawn shop.
In fact, their pawnshop is backed by Prime Minister Guo, and usually no one would dare to cause trouble, but the Lian family has a good relative. Song Jing is selfless and will not sell anyone's face. He became the governor of Jingzhao. Recently, he was the governor of the capital. Public security has improved a lot.
His nap was interrupted, and the shopkeeper couldn't fall asleep for a while.
"I'm going out for a trip. You can sleep in front and watch the door."
The spring breeze was blowing on his face, and his heart was restless. He had to go to the thirty-sixth floor for a walk. It was rare for him to feel relaxed at this moment.
"Want to hold the door open for you?"
"Need not!"
In the late night when it should be quiet, the whole street on the 36th floor was brightly lit, and the girls played, played, and sang to welcome and send them off. It was so lively.
There are a row of horse-drawn carriages parked side by side on the street. The boys who drive the carriages gather together and chat. The peddlers and vendors who have paid protection fees guard the exits of each brothel. Those who have errands can fill their stomachs and earn a fortune by running errands. Extra money.
The black shadow walked on the street without many people paying attention. He walked around the wall in the backyard of Qingfeng Building, took a breath, and disappeared with a whoosh.
"Ghost!"
The drunk man yelled and was knocked unconscious by someone with a bottle. He lay on the ground and smashed his mouth. He didn't know what sweet dream he had.
The man in black opened the door, and a beautiful middle-aged woman sat in the room.
"Did you get the stuff?"
