Chapter 141 Is it bad to be blackmailed?
Chapter 141 Oh no, you were blackmailed?
Because he saw the light, Zhu Gaoxu tried to move forward. After passing through the courtyard, he quickly entered another corridor. This place looked familiar. He should have been here before.
Seeing that the corridor was a bit long, he put away his umbrella and walked along the corridor. The light in front of him became brighter and brighter.
Just as he was walking towards the light, suddenly a figure rushed out of the left courtyard door of the corridor.
There is a corridor on the left that leads to the other side. This person should have come from the right and ran out in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhu Gaoxu.
Plop, Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that someone suddenly walked out like a ghost, without making a sound.
"Ah" the person from the other side yelled softly, bumping into Zhu Gaoxu's arms.
Zhu Gaoxu smelled the familiar fragrance.
"King Gaoyang." The other side also screamed.
After all, there are not many men of such tall stature in the city of Beiping.
"Miss Jing?" Zhu Gaoxu used the faint moonlight to see that it was Jing Qing's daughter Jing Shu who ran into his arms.
The two of them spoke almost in unison.
"I don't know - I only know that my father thinks so too -" Jing Shu's voice was very confused and crying: "Don't be like this, okay? King Gaoyang."
"Don't be like this, King Gaoyang." Jing Shu was about to cry, her voice seemed to be pleading: "King Yan - King Yan wants me to marry the prince -"
Zhu Gaoxu secretly took a breath and quickly turned back to pick up the umbrella: "There may be someone in front, let's go and ask."
"King Gaoyang--what are you looking at?" Suddenly someone in front asked tremblingly.
Jing Shu's mind went blank and she had no idea what Zhu Gaoxu meant.
"No, I just think King Gaoyang is quite cute." After saying this, Jing Shu felt that the words were wrong. Her face turned slightly red and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhu Gaoxu.
It turned out that today Princess Yan was hosting a banquet for the civil and military families of Peking in the main hall on the other side of the inner courtyard of the palace. Jing Shu was also invited, because King Yan and Princess Yan were considering whether to marry Jing Shu to the prince Zhu Gaochi or the third son Zhu Gaosui.
"Why are you here?"
"Miss Jing is quite cute," Zhu Gaoxu responded casually.
"Go back to King Gaoyang, I, I'm lost——" Jing Shu looked as if she was about to cry.
Zhu Gaoxu asked Jing Shu to hide behind him first, and then went over to call out a eunuch. Only then did he realize that this was a kitchen, mainly used to boil water for the female relatives in the backyard.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu entered the sage mode again. Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed impulsive and bold just now.
In order to cover up Jing Shu, Zhu Gaoxu deliberately spoke loudly to the eunuch. The eunuch was very excited and responded sentence by sentence.
Now less than twenty years old, he is mainly responsible for some affairs in the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion. Before King Yan launched his army, Yi Shiha was also responsible for raising ducks and chickens to cover up the sound of weapons being drilled. He sounded like a close confidant of Prince Yan.
"I'll give it a try." Zhu Gaoxu said.
Zhu Gaoxu directly said that he was lost, how to get out?
"Um, please forgive Miss Jing for drinking some wine. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
I saw Zhu Gaoxu moving like lightning, as if he hadn't drank at all. He reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed her, and stopped her in time.
The two of them were lucky. After walking out of this corridor, they arrived at another courtyard. There were several houses with lights and eunuchs there.
He dismissed Yi Shiha, and after Yi Shiha left, he found Jing Shu coming out from behind with wet hair.
There was a voice in Zhu Gaoxu's head reminding him to leave quickly. Many people were watching this girl, so don't get into trouble.
".." Jing Shu looked confused and didn't know what it meant to try.
That expression is quite cute, as if to say, I study a lot, King Gaoyang, please don’t lie to me?
"I am away from home all year round and like to train soldiers. I rarely come to the palace. The palace is the Yuan Palace and it is huge. I really don't recognize it."
"What are you laughing at, Miss Jing? Isn't it normal to get lost?" Zhu Gaoxu seemed unhappy.
As expected, a man cannot see a beautiful woman, let alone drink wine at this moment.
She is indeed a beauty, no wonder my eldest brother and third brother both miss her so much.
Then Jing Shu realized that she was hit by Zhu Gaoxu, her face turned red, and she quickly backed away.
Jing Shu had no choice but to follow him. She kept looking at Zhu Gaoxu with her peripheral vision, thinking about what he had just said and the warmth, and her face became redder and redder.
Zhu Gaoxu tried it hastily, and the expression on his face seemed to be very satisfied.
After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he also said depressedly: "To be honest, Miss Jing, I am also lost."
Jing Shu's face was slightly touched.
"Look at you." Zhu Gaoxu said flatly.
"I just came out after drinking. I was holding an umbrella, and I didn't know how I ended up here. Then I found a light in front of me, and I wanted to find someone to ask for directions."
Brush, Jing Shu's face turned red, she bit her lips and whispered, "Will King Gaoyang marry me?"
Fortunately, he can control it. What if he were here? He would be dead if someone discovered him.
"Not bad." Zhu Gaoxu whispered in her ear, and then slowly took a few steps back.
Jing Shu had no choice but to explain why she got lost, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say these two words even to death.
"Then are you willing?" Zhu Gao blocked her in the corner of the corridor and asked.
Jing Shu's body trembled again and she subconsciously stepped back.
Wouldn't it be even more wonderful if it could go deep into the cotton silk?
Under the influence of a little alcohol, Zhu Gaoxu got a little heady.
"I'll give you this umbrella. When you get back, take a hot bath quickly, otherwise you'll catch a cold." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but put the umbrella in her hand.
But I don't know why, but I just can't move.
He couldn't help but look at Jing Shu reflexively.
Is this how things work between men and women? Will I get pregnant? Jing Shu continued to be confused.
"Puch" Jing Shu covered her mouth and laughed, this must be true belief.
The eunuch's name was Yishiha, and he was actually a Haixi Jurchen.
When Jing Shu talked about going to the toilet, her face turned red and she stammered. She couldn't say two words clearly. Zhu Gaoxu could also understand the general meaning.
Then the two of them seemed to be silent, and suddenly they didn't know what to say.
Then he quietly walked out of the hall and went to the toilet under the guidance of a maid.
In this era, it is very difficult for a girl to say the word "potty" to a man.
During the Hongwu period, he followed his father and joined the Ming Dynasty, but for some reason he became a eunuch.
When she finally came out, the maid was missing. She walked around on her own and didn't go back for a while. She couldn't help but panic, but she didn't dare to scream.
She was originally a famous beauty in Beiping City, and her beauty was no worse than that of Xu Miaojin. She suddenly smiled like a hundred flowers blooming, and Zhu Gaoxu was slightly moved by the sight.
Zhu Gaoxu followed him calmly. Jing Shu originally wanted to go back to the main hall where the banquet was held, but she definitely couldn't do it now, so she could only follow quietly behind the two of them.
The eunuch immediately said: "Your Highness, please follow me." Lead the way.
"Really?" Jing Shu's voice was very low.
But behind her was the courtyard gate, with a threshold. When she stumbled, her body fell backwards.
"Definitely, definitely." Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, it's over, has he been blackmailed?
The moon outside seemed to be very flattering. A ray of moonlight shone very suddenly on the intersection of the corridor. Under the shallow moonlight, Jing Shu's graceful figure was reflected on the wall. Just looking at the reflection, it was so graceful.
"King Gaoyang can keep his word." Jing Shu said quickly.
It turned out that she didn't bring an umbrella and got caught in a lot of snow.
Jing Shu clearly noticed that Prince Gaoyang was looking at her, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Zhu Gaoxu also retreated awkwardly, but he felt that there was still a lingering fragrance in his hand, which was the fragrance of Tian Jingshu's handkerchief dropped.
"Also, don't tell your father what we encountered today?" Zhu Gaoxu said and turned around.
——
The next day, Zhu Gaoxu went to visit some of the injured soldiers who accompanied him in the battle, and brought some medicine. He mainly visited officers and generals above Xiaoqi.
Zhu Gaoxu found that he rarely came to Prince Yan's Mansion. He didn't even know the names of several of the eunuchs who were trusted by Prince Yan. If he hadn't gotten lost today, he might not have known them yet.
Prince Gaoyang kept his word, and he really just gave it a try, because this was Prince Yan's Mansion, and even if Zhu Gaoxu was too impatient and had too much wine, he would not dare to do anything.
Thinking of how I had bumped into her waist just now, even though she was wearing a thick cotton silk coat, I could still clearly feel her gracefulness.
"I will mention it to my father, queen, mother and concubine." Zhu Gaoxu said immediately.
She didn't say that marrying the prince would be a good thing, but Zhu Gaoxu became even more unhappy when she said this.
Today, Princess Yan and several princesses of King Yan paid tribute to Jingshu. She drank a few drinks and wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the day.
"Ah." Jing Shu looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief.
Huang Yan was relatively greedy for money, and he was familiar with him. Yi Shiha had been in the inner courtyard all year round, and Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to give money randomly.
He touched the treasure note in his sleeve, and after thinking about it, he still didn't give it to him.
"Why are you here?"
After walking for several yards, we finally came to the place where Zhu Gaoxu met.
There was no way, there were too many injured people, and it was impossible to look at them all. Except for the officers and generals, we just randomly picked some with minor injuries to look at.
The sergeants who are slightly injured will recover and can fight for him again, but it is hard to say for the seriously injured ones. With the medical conditions of the Ming Dynasty, they may die after a while, and if they are seriously injured and are in a bad mood, you go and see them.
It's not interesting either.
But he would send people to send some money or food and salt as a subsidy.
After returning, he summoned all his confidants to discuss matters. During the recent siege of Peiping, salt and food prices increased sharply, and Mao Xiong made a huge profit.
