Chapter 57: The Secret Hidden in Him
In love, he was willing to condescend to the nobles and come here to visit him just now, right?
Fang Yan didn't notice the sourness that she was rolling in her heart at this moment. In short, she would not apologize, he would do whatever he wanted.
However, he left too suddenly just now, and his final expression was obviously a little wrong, was it because she said something?
Fang Yan recalled the last conversation between the two, "Not all women are like you." Thinking of this sentence, Fang Yan felt a little uncomfortable.
At that moment, he thought of which different woman?
Rong Chengjin seemed to have secrets hidden in her body. Since she couldn't get rid of it now, she had to investigate. Perhaps, if she unlocked those secrets, the truth would be revealed.
The next day, Fang Yan originally wanted to take advantage of Rong Chengjin's court to find out if there were any clues hidden in the mansion. However, he was told that because of the wedding, Rong Chengjin could be exempted from court for the past three days.
With him in charge of the royal palace, Fang Yan naturally couldn't find it blatantly.
In order to avoid suspicion, Fang Yan only said that she wanted to get familiar with the environment of the royal palace. She took her two girls and started wandering around the mansion, and while walking, she was messing with the two of them.
"Xiangming, Shuyu, you all come and tell me what our prince likes, hates, and has any taboos, so that I can't annoy him like yesterday."
The two of them did not doubt that he was. Xiang Ming was quick-talking and said, "Compared with the masters in other mansions, our prince is really not a difficult person to serve. In terms of diet, as long as it is a light thing, he is never picky. He never gets angry at us servants for no reason. But if anyone is not clean or does not follow the rules in the mansion, the prince will be merciless when punishing people... So, the prince has actually been generous to you yesterday. Not to blame him, he will come to see you in person."
As for what happened in Tangyunju last night, everyone thought it was an accident that happened when the two of them were having fun, which was related to the prince's face and reputation. All witnesses consciously blocked this memory, including Xiang Ming.
Fang Yan nodded, looked at Shuyu, and signaled her to say something.
"If you want to talk about the prince's preferences, there is a none [31 Novel Network Update Fast] I know if it counts." Shuyu thought for a while and said, "In the back mountain of our palace, the prince raised many animals in captivity, ranging from lions and tigers to small pheasants and hares. The prince would go around the mountains every once in a while, but never hunt in the back mountain, and would not let anyone get close to it. It was said that the beast was fierce, which might hurt the innocent. However, everyone in our palace also knew what was in the mountains, and no one dared to break up without his life."
It is not strange to keep pets, especially royal nobles like him who lack anything. Raising a few beasts is quite consistent with his identity. Even in this world, some princes in some countries are better off.
However, this is not what Fang Yan wants to know.
"Then, apart from that, are there any people or things that cannot be mentioned in front of the prince?" Fang Yan reminded the two of them.
Shuyu and Xiangming looked at each other, thought for a while, and were about to shake their heads, Shuyu seemed to suddenly think of something again, her face changed slightly, and she said, "Master, can't you hear someone say something?"
Judging from her reaction, she seemed to know something. However, seeing her so cautiously tempted, she would definitely not reveal it easily. Fang Yan changed her mind and said, "I once heard the prince accidentally mention a girl named Mu. The prince doesn't seem to like people talking about her."
Her words indeed made Shuyu's eyes look a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Since that's the case, it's better not to mention it, Master."
Fang Yan pretended not to care and said, "I think the prince means that he really likes this girl. Since that's the case, what can't people know?"
Shuyu was a little nervous and said, "Master doesn't know anything. The emperor has issued a clear order about the prince's past and no one can mention it again."
Fang Yan didn't expect that even the emperor would intervene in this matter. "Why is this? Could it be that Miss Mu has a special identity?" It's not a taboo love, right?
"Yes, I've never heard of this before?" Xiang Ming was the most curious about these gossips and couldn't help but interject.
Shuyu shook her head and said, "I am fashionable and young. I have only heard from the servants in charge of the mansion that he ordered the servants. As for what happened, I don't know."
After hearing what she said, Fang Yan remembered an important key, "When did this happen?"
"About... it was ten years ago? I was only five or six years old at that time and had just been sold to the royal palace." Shuyu still remembers this memory very clearly.
Ten years ago, Rong Chengjin was only twelve or thirteen years old, right? Fang Yan was surprised and couldn't help but curse himself, no wonder he looked like a veteran in love, and he learned to fall in love at such a young age.
After thinking about it, Fang Yan did not reveal any of it and said, "So, you have never seen this Miss Mu before?"
Shuyu shook his head and said, "I only heard those people discuss the Mu family and royal family when they first entered the mansion, but I was fashionable and young and had no impression of it. If it weren't for the big incident the next day, I would have forgotten about it."
"Big thing?" Fang Yan became interested and said, "What big thing?"
Although many years later, Shuyu was still a little scared when he recalled this incident and said, "The next day, the prince didn't know how he knew the gossip of those people, summoned them, fed them mute medicine, and sent them to the imperial tomb. Since then, I have never seen them again."
Fang Yan has seen even the cruelest things in the past few years of his career. However, he still couldn't help but shivered at this moment, "You mean it was the order given by the prince himself."
Shuyu nodded affirmatively.
Fang Yan couldn't help but hold his palms tightly. At that time, Rong Chengjin was only thirteen years old. Now, he is just a child who is still in junior high school. But can he make them hoarse because of a few gossips behind others?
Is he really such a cold and terrible person?
"Master, I risk my life to tell you these things today, and I also want to remind you. Be more cautious in the future. After all, these are old events. Don't hurt the relationship between you and the prince because of this."
"I know your hard work, and I will pay attention to it in the future." Fang Yan responded, but instead became even more curious.
I still remember the last time I was in the valley, she vaguely heard his conversation with the woman named Huaying. Although I didn’t hear it very clearly, I still remember clearly that he loved the woman named Mu.
But if this is the case, what is the reason that even when he heard others mention her, he would have to do such a ruthless move ten years ago?
Thinking of this, she immediately thought of another issue that she had been overlooking.
Why did Rong Chengjin say that she had clues to finding that woman? Could it be that woman had something to do with the company? Could it be that she was a customer at that time?
As soon as this thought arose, it was immediately dispelled by her.
Impossible! If it is a client, then after she leaves this time and space, Rong Chengjin should no longer have any memories of her.
Although she seemed to have more clues now, Fang Yan felt that she was becoming more and more confused and could not understand the answer to the mystery hidden behind it.
However, it is precisely because of this that she also wants to know the truth.
"Hmph, I'm so angry!" A hateful Jiaozha not far away pulled her back from deep thoughts. Fang Yan looked up and saw a familiar figure walking in the small garden ahead in anger. The maid behind him was trotting after her.
Fang Yan couldn't help but say in surprise: "Isn't that Cai? She has been kneeling for ten hours? Why are her legs and feet still so straight?"
A trace of discomfort flashed across Xiangming and Shuyu's faces, but Shuyu spoke, "I'm afraid that my master will feel uncomfortable when he knows it, so I didn't dare to report you in time. Last night, when the prince returned to the bedroom, he waived her on the spot, saying that it was your intention, just telling her not to offend you again in the future, so he asked her to go back."
Humph, he can be a good person.
The incident of Cai Pin indirectly harming herself made Fang Yan feel like she was choking to this woman. She had always been revenge. Now she is already lenient to this woman. She punished her to kneel for ten hours, which was already a sign of the Internet. Unexpectedly, Rong Chengjin meddled so much.
But that's right, she doesn't have the time or energy to teach that woman a lesson. As long as she doesn't come out to get in the way of her, the matter will be over.
After looking at the direction Cai had just walked, it should be leading to the main gate of the royal palace, right?
Fang Yan thought, walked over and asked a guard who was guarding the entrance: "Has Cin Cai been here just now? What happened?"
When the guard saw her, he saluted respectfully and replied: "When the princess said that, concubine Cai wanted to leave the mansion, but was stopped by Beiyi, so she turned back again."
Is it true that I want to complain to her family?
Fang Yan felt clear in his heart, but he didn't make it clear. He took the opportunity to ask, "What if I want to leave the mansion? Wouldn't you let me go?"
The guard still replied politely: "Weizhi is acting on the order of the prince. The prince said that according to the rules in the mansion, if a female family member wants to leave the mansion, she must first get the approval of the prince or the princess. If the princess wants to leave the mansion, she can go to the princess first to ask for an instruction. Weizhi will prepare a carriage for you and personally take you out."
Could it be that Rong Chengjin had expected Cai Pin's actions, so he ordered someone to keep a look at the door in advance? Moreover, as she expected, her movements were also restricted.
However, if she really wants to go out, it will not be so easy to trap her.
Maybe she should find an opportunity to go out and walk around, maybe this big capital can bring her some surprises.
Of course, with Rong Chengjin in the mansion, we should not be anxious about leaving the mansion for the time being. Fang Yan turned around without saying a word and said, "Shuyu, Xiangming, let's go somewhere else."
The two girls responded diligently and led her to the other half of the royal palace.
But when Cai Peng returned to her "Luomeixuan", she was still angry and had nowhere to vent her anger. She swept the tea set on the coffee table and heard a crackling sound.
"It's really too much. In the past, I would go back whenever I wanted to go back to my parents' home. How many times did I need to report to someone?" Cai Bin gritted his teeth in hatred and said, "It must be the one who caused the problem. I was afraid that my father would cause trouble for her, so I slandered the prince and wanted to put me under house arrest in this mansion."
"Master, please calm down, don't hurt yourself." Xiaomian, the maid who had been following her, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her hand, checked her, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not injured.
