Chapter thirty-six
"Being tied up? Gao Qiu, let me tell you, if things are that simple, it will be easier to deal with!"
Li Guang completely ignored Gao Qiu's jokes, and the anxiousness on his face did not change at all.
"Things are so simple, but they are easy to deal with? Li Guang, what do you mean? What exactly happened?"
Seeing that Li Guang didn't look like he was acting, Gao Qiu had to get serious and ask.
"Hmph! What's the matter? Do you know Shiwenyuan? His Highness Duan invited four adults to a banquet yesterday, but ended up falling in love with a girl inside."
Li Guang smiled bitterly, asked Gao Qiu back, and then spoke up.
"I fell in love with a girl inside? This matter is really troublesome, but it's just troublesome, not a big deal! Don't worry first, let me have a good chat with him after seeing Duan."
After listening to Li Guang's words, Gao Qiu was relieved and just fell in love with a girl's words, but it was actually not impossible to solve them.
Although it is a more important period for fighting for the throne, if you only fall in love with a woman, there will be no big trouble, at least you won’t be able to catch the handle and attack him. As long as you talk to Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu is sure to let him put the girl aside first.
"After meeting King Duan, what do you think I'm in a dilemma? I've never seen King Duan again since I came back yesterday! In other words, King Duan... he... he spent the night in Shiwenyuan yesterday! And until now, he has not come back!"
He said everything from beginning to end with a bitter face, and Li Guang's words were already filled with crying.
"What! You said the night he spent in Shiwenyuan yesterday? It was broken! Things are going on!"
After learning the whole story, Gao Qiu began to understand why Li Guang was so panicked.
The Song Dynasty never forbidden officials from entering and leaving brothels. Some of them were even officially opened by the court. Those who entered were the families of some criminals. However, the court did not allow such things without limit. The most important point is that as long as there are official positions in the court, you can go to brothels to have fun, but the last bottom line cannot be overcome. This is also the last way for the court to protect those poor women.
As Zhao Ji, having fun in brothels, or even saying that it will not be a big problem, but it will take a break. Usually, for the sake of King Duan of Zhao Ji, everyone turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, and the matter would pass, and no one would be able to get along with an idle prince. But now it is an important moment for Zhao Ji to compete for the throne with two other princes, which really makes people know. Even if Zhao Ji asked Zhang Dun to make the case, Zhang Dun would definitely not agree to Zhao Ji's succession, and he would also compete to oppose it with many princes and ministers.
"Oh! Yes! So things are in trouble!"
Li Guang sighed, scratched his head in annoyance, and as soon as his hand fell, he brought a lot of hair off.
"The most important thing about this matter is not to let the princess know about it first. The outside matter is easy to solve, but if the princess knows about it, it may be troublesome."
Frowning tightly, Gao Qiu had already begun to think about the impact of this matter.
The matter outside is easy to solve. Although Gao Qiu has not yet thought of a solution, he knows that it is just a matter of means and it is not a difficult problem. However, the princess is Zhao Ji's housework. If the princess really knows about this matter, it may be really troublesome. You must know that the princess' father is the current governor of Texas. If the matter is not handled well, the impact may be great.
But I don’t know that Gao Qiu’s luck was used up from time to time, or it should be said that “speaking about Cao Cao and Cao Cao”. As soon as Gao Qiu finished speaking, Zhao Ji’s princess walked back from not far away.
"Let's go!! Let's talk!"
Gao Qiu reached out to grab Li Guang's arm and walked aside, intending to avoid the simple-dressed princess.
However, the princess seemed to have come to look for Gao Qiu specifically. Gao Qiu walked aside, and she immediately changed direction. Gao Qiu pulled Li Guang aside again, and the princess turned toward Gao Qiu nine times in a row. The princess turned to Gao Qiu and the others every time. Until the ninth time, the princess had already walked in front of Gao Qiu.
Knowing that the other party was here to look for him, Gao Qiu could only bite the bullet and greet him even if he didn't meet him again.
"See the princess!"
As soon as he bowed, Gao Qiu bowed to the other party, then lowered his head.
The princess naturally came to Gao Qiu. Seeing Gao Qiu like this, she waved her, made a 'flat' gesture, and then said, "Sir, don't be too polite. Even if you don't look at the prince's face, you are still the eldest princess' old friend!"
"It's bad! The princess really knows this!" Gao Qiu's heart trembled, glanced at Li Guang beside him, lowered his voice and said, "Be careful!"
"good!"
Li Guang, who was bent down at the same time, responded softly after hearing Gao Qiu's words.
Although the two of them were talking very little, they were so close to the princess that as long as they wanted the other party to hear their words, the princess would definitely hear them. However, looking at the princess' calm face, it seemed that she had not heard anything, which made people feel very strange.
Waiting for Gao Qiu to stand up, the princess said, "Mr. Gao, I don't hide it from you. His Highness Duan did not return to the house last night. Do you know what's going on?"
"This...I..."
Gao Qiu really couldn't answer this kind of question, saying 'yes'. He went home early yesterday to deal with the matter, but said 'no'. He did hear Li Guang say it just now.
However, the princess didn't seem to ask Gao Qiu to answer. After asking, she paused for a moment and then said, "His Royal Highness Duan did not return to the house last night. I don't know the detailed reason for this matter, but I know that you asked him to go to Shiwenyuan to entertain a few adults, right?"
"This is!"
Gao Qiu's scalp was numb, but he still admitted it.
Although the subsequent development was beyond Gao Qiu's expectations, this matter was the beginning of Gao Qiu after all, so even if the princess wanted to punish him, Gao Qiu had no choice.
"Well! Sir, don't be nervous. I'm not going to ask for a crime. But now that the matter has come, we have to find a way to solve it. Do you think so?"
The princess spoke slowly, but her eyes were always staring at Gao Qiu, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"You're talking about it! I'll start to arrange it now!"
Originally, Gao Qiu was preparing for this matter, but the princess came and stopped.
"Hey~! Sir, wait!" Seeing Gao Qiu turn around and leave, the princess directly stopped Gao Qiu, "Do you have an idea? I'll do it in a hurry, don't have any problems!"
"Well... I'm still thinking!"
Gao Qiu is a person with impatience, but this impatience will only work when he encounters something. Now he is helping Zhao Ji to find a solution, but it is not that good.
"Well! I have a solution here, but I don't know if it works."
The princess slowly said her thoughts.
"Princess, please speak!"
When Gao Qiu heard that the princess had a solution, he suddenly lit up. No matter what the other party’s idea was, it would be good to provide himself with a way of thinking.
"Well! That's right. I heard from the eldest princess that you were tied up by a forced man a few days ago. In the end, they took the opportunity to escape because they mistakenly thought you were Duan Qiansui. I wonder if it is, or not?"
Instead of speaking out her ideas directly, the princess asked Gao Qiu an irrelevant question.
"This... I understand what the princess means! I'll make arrangements now!"
With Gao Qiu's wisdom, it's not difficult to be like an idea. I was just a little panicked just now, but now I immediately understood when I heard the princess remind him.
"Yeah! OK! Then I'll give it to sir!"
Seeing that Gao Qiu understood what he meant, the princess breathed a sigh of relief. After being polite, she turned around and left.
In fact, this is also a very normal thing. No matter what dynasty it is, it is inconvenient to contact other people's relatives when the owner no longer has any more relationship. Even if the subordinates serve guests instead of their men, the time should not be too long.
After waiting for the princess to walk away, Li Guang, who had never been valued, came to Gao Qiu, lowered his voice and said, "I said, you don't want to go out for a walk when you dress up as Duan, right?"
"You know?"
He glanced at Li Guang, but Gao Qiu didn't care much.
With Li Guang's knowledge and experience, if he doesn't know what it means, he will not be left in the palace by Zhao Ji. After all, there are so many capable people who make money, so there is no need to find such a fool.
"I know? Do you know that people regard you as Your Highness Duan because they have never seen Duan? Who can't see you when you walk out like this?"
Whether it is for his own face or for King Duan, Li Guang felt that he had to open this mouth.
"Your words make sense, but what you don't know is that I'm related to darkness when someone admits the mistake." Gao Qiu added the loophole in Li Guang's words. Seeing Li Guang anxious, he quickly spoke and explained: "Hey hey hey! Don't worry, I have a way!"
"How? What's the solution?"
He looked at Gao Qiu suspiciously, and Li Guang obviously did not believe what Gao Qiu said.
"Okay, okay! I'll handle this matter, just cooperate with me!"
Gao Qiu smiled mysteriously and did not explain much.
He found someone in charge of the affairs of Prince Duan's mansion and gave him a careful instruction. Gao Qiu walked into the backyard under the guidance of his maid.
