"Your Majesty, why did you call me here?"
In an antique room, He Pingan was sitting at the table, and Zhang Laoqi stood aside and asked in a low voice.
"From today on, you have to pay more attention no matter what you say or do."
"If you are like before and can't walk when you see a beautiful girl, don't blame me for being ruthless and leaving you alone in this prince's mansion."
He Ping'an took a sip of the Yuqian Longjing that the maid had just soaked, and said lightly.
Zhang Laoqi shuddered in his heart and said quickly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, from today on, I will stay outside your house and won't go anywhere."
"I just inspected the entire Hou Mansion with my spiritual consciousness. Except for the east side room of the Hou Mansion, there is a fourth-level Taoist monk, and there is no third-level monk."
Third-level monks are powerful and domineering, and generally will not surrender to others.
Although Yongchun Hou was a second-grade martial artist, he only had two third-grade monks under his command. They were all with the army in Southern Xinjiang and did not stay in the Hou Mansion.
There are only three fourth-grade monks in the Hou Mansion, and two of them have died at the hands of He Pingan.
He Pingan told Zhang Laoqi the results of his investigation, and then said: "Only monks of the same level can see through my transformation technique, so you don't have to worry too much, just be careful.
"Yes, I understand."
After Zhang Laoqi's temporary "training" by He Ping'an, he already had some airs as a guard.
In the blink of an eye, January has passed.
On weekdays, He Ping'an teased the maids of the Hou Mansion and squandered money wantonly. He had shown himself to be naughty enough, but he was still praised repeatedly by Wu Yang, which made him dumbfounded.
After all, he is not a playboy. There are some things he just can't do.
For example, several of Wu Fan's foot-warming maids have broken Yuan Yin...
Hou Mansion, front hall.
"Madam, the prince has become a little different since he came back recently."
Chun He said with suspicion.
"Oh, how do you say this?"
Wu Yang asked a little strangely.
"For example, although the prince used to spend money randomly, he never bought poison pills."
"This month, the prince spent five thousand taels of silver just buying poison pills."
"Um."
"Also, when I came back in the past, they would stare at me for a long time, wanting to eat me."
"When he came back this time, not only did he not look at me much, he didn't even touch Luliu and the others..."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"It shows that we, Fan'er, have grown up."
Wu Yang said with a pleased smile.
"But, madam, if the prince stays with that guard Su day and night, will it..."
Chun He looked suspicious.
"Chunhe, I think you have been too indulgent in the past few years!"
"I don't know how senior and young are inferior."
"Your Majesty, you can't just talk nonsense here!"
Wu Yang's expression changed and he became furious.
"Madam, Chunhe knows that she was wrong."
Seeing Wu Yang's anger, Chunhe knew that he had said the wrong thing, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"I will punish you today. You will have to kneel outside for a whole day without being allowed to eat."
Wu Yang said with a gloomy expression.
"yes!"
"Get down!"
Wu Yang sent Chun He away and sat alone in the empty room, rubbing her swollen temples with her slender fingers.
Fan'er, you don't really have anything to do with Guard Su, do you?
No, Fan'er is no longer young anymore, so it's time to find a suitable lady for him...
The back house of the Hou Mansion.
"Your Majesty, I have asked almost everyone who has anything to do with Jiang Yuyan in the past few days, but there is no news about her."
"Jiang Yuyan has mysteriously disappeared since Chen Biao's death five years ago."
"I searched high and low in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but I couldn't find her figure."
"It is said that Wu Fan also spent a lot of money to ask Si Tianjian's magicians to divine the secrets, but found nothing."
Zhang Laoqi is reporting the results of his investigation to He Pingan.
Within a few days of arriving at the Yongchun Marquis Mansion, Zhang Laoqi relied on his deception and deception skills to become one with the servants in the manor.
Upon seeing this, He Pingan arranged a task for him to find out Jiang Yuyan's whereabouts.
The results were basically consistent with what he asked Wu Fan.
"Anything else you want to add?"
He Pingan asked.
"It seems that not long after Jiang Yuyan disappeared, Madam issued an order not to allow her to be seen in front of the Crown Prince again."
"why is that?"
"My subordinates don't know either. I asked several maids and they didn't know either."
"Okay, then go down."
"Remember to wipe the lip marks on your neck clean before reporting next time."
He Ping'an said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with it.
Zhang Laoqi looked embarrassed, neither could he explain, nor could he explain, so he could only leave in a hurry.
"It's really strange that I couldn't find it even after using Si Tianjian."
He Ping'an felt a little depressed. Daxuan Si Tianjian was in charge of astronomy and counting, and his subordinate magicians were all knowledgeable about heaven and good at divination.
If they couldn't find her, then finding Jiang Yuyan would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
While he was thinking, a clear and sweet voice sounded outside the house.
"Your Majesty, Madam invites you."
"I know, I'll be right over."
He Ping'an recognized the voice of Chun He, Wu Yang's personal maid. He stood up, tidied his clothes, and followed the maid to the front courtyard.
After passing through the pavilion and attic, before reaching the vestibule, I heard Wu Yang talking with a woman.
"Sister Lu, I leave this matter to you."
"Sister Wu, please keep your heart in your heart, and if you have the courage to do something, I will definitely find you a beautiful and intelligent young lady."
Seeing He Ping'an coming, the woman in her fifties said hello to Wu Yang and left.
"Fan'er, you're here, come and sit."
Wu Yang waved to He Ping'an and motioned for him to sit over.
"Um."
He Pingan agreed that Wu Yang was Wu Fan's stepmother, and Wu Fan had always been very cold to her, so he couldn't be too close to her.
He pretended to be Wu Fan just as a delaying tactic to prevent Wu Fan from disappearing, causing an uproar, triggering the Marquis of Yongchun to search everywhere, and destroying Wu Fan's experience of the "charm" of the Drug Testing Department.
When Wu Fan in the Drug Testing Department dies, he will quietly disappear.
"That person just now was Mrs. Lu from the Marquis of Ji'an Mansion. I came to her this time because I thought that Fan'er in my family is getting older and it's time to find a girl to talk to."
Wu Yangshi opened his mouth to explain.
"Haha, so Jiang Yuyan is not worthy?"
He Ping'an suddenly raised his head and stared at Wu Yang with burning eyes.
He didn't use the soul-stirring technique, he wanted to test it first.
"you!"
Wu Yang's originally gentle and dignified expression suddenly turned gloomy. She pointed her jade finger at He Pingan, and her delicate body trembled with anger.
"Because she is a commoner, she is not worthy to marry into the Yongchun Marquis Mansion, right?"
He Pingan was not afraid at all and looked into her eyes, just like an infatuated young man from an aristocratic family who fell out with his stepmother for his lover.
"She is a lost flower. She had a fiancé before you, and she is a commoner. She still wants to marry into the prince's house. I won't agree!"
Wu Yang, who was originally a dignified and skillful person, now became a little crazy, and his hysterical voice contained contempt, pleasure, hatred, regret...
"So you killed her?"
He Pingan continued to ask.
When asked this question, Wu Yang suddenly reacted and said with a trembling voice: "I didn't kill her."
