After hearing Emperor Yu's words, Chen Gong's facial expression instantly became stiff, and he subconsciously looked at Jia Xu who was standing aside. The latter nodded slightly, indicating that there was nothing wrong.
"Your Majesty, the palace treasury is managed by Lin Yong, the old butler beside His Majesty. No one can open it without his secret key."
"Lin Yong..."
Emperor Yu was somewhat impressed by this old servant, but Concubine Xian on the side smiled and said, "Where is Lin Yong now?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for some years."
"Back to you, Madam, Butler Lin is currently hungover in Yihong Courtyard. He hasn't woken up yet. I'm afraid he will have to wait until tonight..."
Emperor Yu's head was suddenly filled with black lines, but Concubine Xian beside him said with a smile: "Indeed, this is in line with Uncle Lin's temperament. In that case, Your Majesty, why don't we go to the snack street first?"
"On weekdays, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so leisurely and elegant. I didn't expect that today I can eat delicious food from all over the world in Lingzhou City."
"Um!"
Hearing Concubine Xian's words, Emperor Yu did not refuse. He nodded slightly, but called Jing Li on the side to come forward for a few words.
"Let's go!"
"Your Majesty, I will take you to..."
"No need, I'll go shopping by myself, don't bother me!"
"yes!"
Chen Gong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and silently backed away. After Emperor Yu and his entourage left, a wry smile appeared on Prince Sheng's face: "Please tell me to come back quickly!"
"Now that even I have boarded your pirate ship, if my father discovers it, I'm afraid I will be punished for deceiving the king!"
"Go back to Your Highness, Your Highness King Yong is already on his way here."
"Um!"
Prince Sheng nodded slightly, glanced at Chen Gong, and said with a wry smile: "Thanks to my concubine, but she seems to have noticed something."
Jia Xu also had a look on his face and said softly: "Gongtai, we should have made a decision earlier!"
"Um!"
…
"His Majesty!"
"Um!"
"Has it been found out?"
"His Royal Highness King Yong seems not to be in Huainan!"
After Jing Li finished speaking, Emperor Yu frowned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Didn't Chen Gong say that the second son was inspecting various counties?"
"Ahem!"
"My subordinates found out that His Highness seemed to have led his troops out of the city more than a month ago!"
"Leading troops?"
Emperor Yu also noticed something was wrong and said in a deep voice: "No wonder I didn't see Qin Qiong and others in the palace today. Could it be that this kid went to attack the Southern Barbarians again?"
"More than a month?"
"The second child has been out for more than a month?"
Hearing Emperor Yu's soliloquy, Concubine Xian on the side also showed a look of worry and said softly: "Fan'er has always been restless, and now in Huainan, I am afraid it will be even more lawless!"
"Let's go to the snack street first!"
Emperor Yu walked on the street with his feet up, but there was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. Jing Li on the side continued to speak: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not!"
Concubine Xian suddenly stopped, and Emperor Yu looked over. Jing Li said bravely, "My subordinates also found out that when His Highness first came to Huainan, he married into the Cai family and changed his name to Zhao Zilong, with Miss Cai's family. …”
"What!"
"Bring-in-law!"
A look of astonishment appeared on Emperor Yu's face, and then he was filled with anger: "This bastard has completely disgraced my royal family!"
"Why did I give birth to such a romantic creature?"
"shameless!"
"Asshole!"
Emperor Yu angrily cursed in the street, but with a look from Concubine Xian, he immediately suppressed his anger and stood aside without saying a word.
"What about Miss Cai's family?"
"Hui Niang, your talent and reputation are well known. The Cai family is a family of merchants. Cai Yan, the daughter of the Cai family, is known for her talent and reputation, and her appearance is one that will captivate the entire country!"
"good!"
Concubine Xian showed a look of appreciation on her face and said with a smile: "I have been worrying about this boy's marriage, but I didn't expect that this little bastard would hide it from me!"
"Hmph, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this bastard actually did such a ridiculous thing!"
"Your Majesty, do you mean to cut my son into pieces with a thousand knives and implicate the nine clans?"
"Is it possible to relieve the hatred in your heart?"
"this……"
Emperor Yu was speechless for a moment, and Concubine Xian glanced at him lightly and said softly: "Huaiyuan, go and prepare a generous gift, and go with me to the Cai family for a visit!"
"What about me?"
Emperor Yu looked at Concubine Xian eagerly, but heard her calmly say: "I think Your Majesty is a little tired, so I will send you back to the post house to rest first, Jing Li!"
"..."
Emperor Yu was speechless. Jing Li was like a quail, obediently standing in the corner, carefully observing the expressions of the two masters.
"Let's go!"
Concubine Xian stepped forward without looking back. Zhao Huaiyuan and Su Chi quickly followed, while Liu Yuan stayed behind to protect Emperor Yu with Jing Li.
"Mother, what kind of gifts should we prepare?"
When Zhao Huaiyuan heard that the second master had done such an explosive thing, his expression became extremely expectant and even very curious!
What kind of gorgeous woman is it that can win over a wanderer like Er Ye, put away his gun, disarm him, and surrender?
Concubine Xian smiled and glanced at him, but instead of speaking in a hurry, she walked towards a nearby shop.
"Guest, what would you like to order?"
"Just take a look."
Concubine Xian nodded with a smile, glanced around, and suddenly said nonchalantly: "Shopkeeper, I heard that His Highness King Yong led his troops out of the city a month ago, but did he go to fight the barbarians?"
"Barbarian?"
The shopkeeper saw that the beautiful woman in front of him had a graceful and luxurious look, and there was a touch of nobility in her movements, so she was happy to chat with her.
"This time we are not fighting barbarians. I heard we are going to attack Guanshan!"
"Guanshan!"
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and her expression became nervous: "How many soldiers and horses does His Highness King Yong have under his command? How dare he cross the grassland to attack Guanshan?"
"We don't know, but at least there are 100,000 people, right?"
"That's it!"
Concubine Xian calmly looked at the colorful silk hanging on the wall: "Shopkeeper, do you still have this kind of silk?"
"Cut me to seven feet!"
"have!"
"Um!"
Concubine Xian responded, and then asked: "Shopkeeper, I heard that Miss Cai is a talented woman. Why is she called Cai?"
"You mean Cai Yan, the talented daughter of the Cai family, right?"
"Yes, it's Cai Yan!"
"Hehe, this Cai Yan is not an embroidered pillow. He is not only famous for his talents. I think back then, the Cai family's business was in a slump. After Mr. Cai traveled around, the three Cai family brothers expanded everywhere!"
"Seeing that it was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was Miss Cai's family who stepped forward and turned the tide, and that's why we are as prominent as we are today!"
"That's right!" Concubine Xian nodded and said with a smile: "So, this Miss Cai's character is quite strong, even arrogant?"
"You guessed it wrong again!" The shopkeeper smiled and picked his teeth, taking advantage of the gap to say: "Miss Cai family is gentle by nature. I think that when the Cai family was also an official, Mr. Cai retired from officialdom and went into business!"
"Although the Cai family is involved in the business world, it can also be called a scholarly family!"
