After leaving the capital, in a hurry, the group traveled all night except for necessary rest.
The news that the third prince's concubine had fallen out of favor and that the third prince had brought a male goblin to Xicheng spread throughout the capital.
The common people talked about it, and some families with good-looking young men smiled happily.
Ten days later, Xicheng.
Qian Xian, the city lord of Xicheng, had already led his people to wait at the gate of the city lord's mansion.
When he saw the carriage, he immediately greeted it with a smile, "Your Highnesses, Mr. Fu, thank you for your hard work."
Su Ruotang opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage first.
Qian Xian was startled when he saw the indistinguishably beautiful young man coming out of Mo Rongyan's carriage.
Immediately, a strange color flashed across his eyes, and he glanced at the housekeeper behind him calmly.
"Your Majesty has prepared the side rooms. Please take a moment to rest."
Mo Jinming smiled softly: "Master Qian is interested."
Qian Xian turned sideways: "Your Highness, please."
Su Ruotang took Mo Rongyan's wrist without hesitation and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Xicheng is so beautiful. Your Highness will take me for a walk tomorrow."
Mo Ronyan hummed softly and pulled her towards the city lord's mansion.
Fu Beixian followed them to the backyard in a trance, looking at Mo Rongyan and Su Ruotang without words.
It's over.
Mo Lalan was completely fascinated by the male goblin.
My brother and sister are now widows.
Qian Xian specially arranged the best courtyard in the backyard for Mo Ronyan and the six of them to live.
"My lords, you also know that Xicheng suffers from floods every year, and all the money is used to relieve the people. This is already the best courtyard in the house, and I have wronged you all."
Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Su Ruotang's mouth twitched.
The courtyard is very large and kept clean and tidy.
On the eaves of the carved beams and painted buildings, the flowers are crooked, as if they are connected twice.
The paint on the pillars is also of different colors, as if it has been repainted many times.
The lanterns hanging on the corridor were bleached by the sun.
The fragile look makes people worry that the wind will blow it apart.
At first glance, except for the well-maintained flowers and plants, there is a sense of dilapidation everywhere.
She curled her lips, held Mo Ronyan's hand, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, I don't want to live here, it's too shabby."
Mo Ronyan pinched her face, and his tone was always cold, but it was not difficult to hear the doting meaning in it, "Okay, I will take you to the inn later."
Fu Beixian's three views exploded.
When he was marching for war and captured a neighboring city, he proposed to take a rest at an inn in the city, but Mo Ronyan refused directly.
The reason is that we should not be greedy for pleasure and share difficulties with other soldiers.
Why is it that it’s no longer difficult when it comes to male fairies now?
He silently made a note in the little notebook in his heart, and decided to file a complaint with his aunt after returning to the capital.
Hearing this, Qian Xian's eyes flashed and he said quickly: "Your Highness, the best inn in the city is on another street. Can I take you there?"
Mo Ronyan glanced at Mo Jinming and others: "Are you going?"
Mo Jinming flicked the non-existent dust on his sleeves and looked at Tan Zhixi and Gu Shuya, "We are here to inspect the flood, but the two ladies are out for fun. We can't wrong others, so we let them and their brother... ..”
"Ahem, let's go and stay at the inn with this little brother. Bei Xian and I will stay at the City Lord's Mansion."
Mo Rongyan glanced at Qian Xian lightly: "City Master Qian, prepare the account books for the court's disaster relief in the past three years. I will take a look at it tomorrow."
Qian Xian responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, it's ready. You can check it at any time."
Mo Rongyan hummed slightly and pulled Su Ruotang out.
Fu Beixian struggled for a moment and looked at Mo Jinming pitifully, "Second brother, we don't live in an inn, so can we go eat something delicious?"
"I lost weight by eating either wild fruits or dry food along the way."
Mo Jinming gave him a funny look and nodded slightly, "Master Qian, we won't use dinner at home."
Qian Xian: "I understand, I will arrange for someone to take your highness to the inn."
...
Unlike the dilapidated City Lord's Mansion, Fulai Inn was bustling with people coming and going.
"Lord Qian, go and do your work." Mo Jinming looked at the inn in front of him with people coming and going, with a flash of light in his eyes.
Qian Xian bowed and responded: "Then, the official will go back to handle the affairs first. If your Highness has any orders, just send someone to the official's office."
"good."
At Qian Xian's signal, the shopkeeper led a group of people to the backyard.
"Sir, this is the best courtyard in the shop. If you need anything, please feel free to give me orders."
"Serve all the special dishes in your store." Su Ruotang said unceremoniously.
The shopkeeper looked at Mo Ronyan.
Mo Rongyan gave him a cold look: "Deaf?"
A chill ran down the shopkeeper's back and he quickly went down to prepare.
When he turned to leave, the respect in his eyes turned into contempt.
The rumors turned out to be true, the third prince liked men.
This time, instead of talking about inspection, it was better to say that we were out for fun in the name of inspection.
Not enough to be afraid of.
Tan Zhixi stretched out, stepped forward to hold Gu Shuya's arm, and raised her voice, "Sister Gu, I have almost turned into a savage after living in the open these past few days."
"Come on, take a hot spring bath with me and go shopping in the evening."
Gu Shuya smiled lightly and cooperated with her, "Okay, I also want to buy some dresses and jewelry."
After the two women finished speaking, the branches outside the window moved slightly.
After a while, Mo Rongyan waved his sleeves and closed the door. He took a closer look and said calmly: "Zilin Guards searched the Jiangnan Shang Mansion and found no evidence of collusion between Shang Tian and Qian Xian."
Mo Jinming's clear voice was full of murderous intent: "Since he is here this time, let's search the city lord's mansion."
"The Jiangnan Shang Mansion has found no evidence. Maybe the City Lord's Mansion can bring unexpected gains."
Gu Shuya's eyebrows frowned slightly: "The spies from the Shogi camp reported that most of the silver coins distributed by the imperial court to Xicheng for disaster relief every year fell into the hands of Qian Xian."
"It's just that the account book in Qian Xian's hand has never been found."
Mo Jinming nodded: "If it doesn't exist in Xicheng, it can only be in..."
As he spoke, he dipped his fingertips into tea and wrote two words - Yunzhou.
Su Ruotang stared at the two words on the table, a coldness flashing in his eyes.
The queen dared to swallow the food and grass of her uncle and aunt, causing them to almost go to jail.
She had to reckon with this debt.
At this time, Shen Shi gently knocked on the door, "Your Highness, news from the capital."
