"I said before, if you don't apologize, I will apologize for you."
Hu Shichang was speechless and suppressed his anger.
"Then why didn't you bring your entourage? What did you say to that bitch alone?"
Chen Ruiyuan raised his eyes and looked at Hu Shichang.
"Not to mention that after Shen Changshi is a distinguished minister, she is also a fifth-rank official. It is unbecoming of you to talk like a bitch."
"She ruined my good deeds several times. What's wrong with calling her a bitch?"
"Young Master, Your Highness, please calm down. You are making such noise that the servants will listen to you, and it is just adding to the laughter.
Yiyi stood aside and tried to persuade her again.
"Your Highness, just tell the young master what you did to save the two of you from causing any further trouble."
Chen Ruiyuan snorted before speaking again.
"Yesterday, I did just go to the Marquis Mansion in Northern Hebei to apologize. Marquis Shen was not at the house, and there were only female relatives in the house. I only met Chang Shi Shen in the front hall to apologize to her face to face. It was not polite to let the guards follow me. Besides, I don’t want them to see me apologizing.”
Hu Shichang sneered.
"The job I gave the four of them is to protect you personally. Since they failed to do it, I will replace you with a few people. I will deal with these people when they return to Jiangnan."
The four guards standing at the door were all kneeling on the ground.
"Young master, spare your life, I don't dare to do anything anymore. I will protect the prince personally from now on."
"Shut up!"
Hu Shichang let out a loud roar, walked over and kicked the four people down one by one, and then punched and kicked them.
"How did I tell you? What did you do? You still have the nerve to beg for mercy. If I don't kill you now, I would already be merciful."
After playing for a while, maybe he was tired. Hu Shichang stopped and turned back to Chen Ruiyuan.
"As for what you said, I don't believe it at all."
Chen Ruiyuan stood up awkwardly.
"I said, I just apologized and didn't do anything else. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything. Unless you go to Shen Changshi to confront you."
Before Hu Shichang could speak again, Yiyi, who saw that something was not going well, spoke before Hu Shichang.
"Master, please calm down, I think what the prince said is true."
As he spoke, he held the cat in his arms, walked to the table with the kettle, and put the cat on the table.
The cat left the soft, comfortable, warm and elevated place and barked twice in dissatisfaction. Yiyi took the opportunity to comfort the cat and moved to the side.
But at this moment, his back was turned to Chen Ruiyuan, completely blocking Chen Ruiyuan's sight.
Then he picked up the kettle with his right hand, pinched the small button on the cup lid with the little finger and ring finger of his left hand, picked up the cup lid, and poured water into the cup.
Then he cooked it according to law and poured water into another cup.
But when she reached the second glass of water, Yiyi took out a scarlet bean-sized medicine pill from nowhere in her left hand.
Hu Shichang, who was facing Yiyi and Chen Ruiyuan, could see clearly. The corners of his mouth could not help but turn up, and his eyes actively avoided Yiyi.
Yiyi picked up the teacup and handed it to Chen Ruiyuan and Hu Shichang in turn.
When Chen Ruiyuan met those charming and passionate eyes, he was a little guarded and a little afraid to look at Yiyi.
When Hu Shichang took the cup, he lowered his head and glanced at Yiyi. They both smiled slightly. Chen Ruiyuan and Hu Shichang both opened the lid and took a sip.
"Young Master, Your Highness, both of you, please calm down."
After doing all this, Yiyi took a step back, opened her mouth lightly, and spoke slowly.
"Please both of you sit down and talk."
Hu Shichang snorted and found a stool to sit down on, but said nothing.
Chen Ruiyuan also sat down, put one hand on the table, turned his head and ignored Hu Shichang.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Yiyi looked at the two of them, smiled and said nothing.
After waiting for a while, Yiyi finally asked.
"Your Highness, what did you do when you went to the Jibei Marquis Mansion?"
When Chen Ruiyuan heard the voice, he turned his head. The anger in his eyes was gone. He didn't speak loudly anymore and answered calmly in his voice.
"apologize."
Yiyi nodded and glanced at Hu Shichang.
"I believe what His Highness says. What do you think, Master?"
Hu Shichang snorted, stood up and walked out.
Yiyi saluted Chen Ruiyuanfu.
"Your Highness, I have to take my leave now."
After that, he picked up the cat and left the room.
Hu Shichang and Yiyi walked out of the small courtyard where Chen Ruiyuan lived one after another. Hu Shichang turned back and looked at Yiyi with approval.
"As expected of Miss Yiyi, she's so tall! Isn't that the legendary Lost Soul San?"
Yiyi nodded and shook her head.
"That's just a small Lost Soul Powder. The effect of the real Lost Soul Powder is too overbearing. The young master doesn't want the prince to become a stupid person. The dose of this small Lost Soul Powder is much smaller than the real Lost Soul Powder. After taking it,
When asked, he will tell the truth and will not lie at all. After the effect of the medicine wears off, the person taking the medicine will have no abnormality and will not notice what happened. So what the prince said is true."
Hu Shichang smiled frivolously, reached out to grab Yiyi's smooth chin and slowly lifted it up. Yiyi's head slowly lifted up, and she looked at Hu Shichang with loving eyes.
"I really like you more and more. Not only are you stunningly beautiful, you are also so smart. How about you just follow me."
Yiyi smiled softly.
"Okay! It's just that after the young master takes over the slave family, I'm afraid he won't be able to touch other women. Otherwise, the young master will be missing something."
Hearing this, Hu Shichang released his hand holding Yiyi's chin and hung in the air at a loss. He took two steps back and subconsciously blocked his lower body with his other hand.
"Sir, it's indecent for you to act like this in front of a woman!"
Yiyi's eyes rolled down and then up again, looking at Hu Shichang with a half-smile.
Hu Shichang smiled awkwardly.
"Uh... then I'll take my leave first. I'll take my leave now."
Without waiting for Yiyi to speak, she hurried away.
Yiyi sneered and looked at Hu Shichang who was walking away. She raised her left hand and flipped her green and jade fingers. A vermilion pill the size of a bean appeared on her finger. She moved her thumb and middle finger a few times and flicked her fingers.
The grains flew away without a trace.
Hong Hotel is not just a single courtyard, but occupies an entire city. Its courtyards are dotted all over the place. It is also divided into several different courtyard groups according to the scale and importance of the missions it receives.
Among them, the largest and most important courtyard access routes are all gathered in the first courtyard of Hong Hotel. Therefore, the entire Hong Hotel is actually connected.
At this time, Shen Xiyao, who was wearing a crimson official robe, was standing at the gate of Hong Hotel against the sun, looking at the huge courtyard.
The soldiers of the Five Capitals of the Wei Dynasty who were on duty in front of the Hong Hotel looked at Shen Xiyao strangely.
She had been standing at the door for a while, neither leaving nor entering.
Finally, Shen Xiyao took a few steps forward and walked to the door of Hong Hotel. She said to the soldiers guarding the door: "Please inform the Hou Qin envoy that Shen Xiyao wants to see you."
The soldiers on duty did not dare to delay and hurried into the Hong Hotel. After repeated reports, Shen Xiyao was taken into the Hong Hotel.
As soon as she walked into the first courtyard, Shen Xiyao felt some unkind eyes coming from behind her.
Shen Xiyao looked back and saw that they were all members of the envoys from Chu and Shu. There was also one person in the Chu envoy who wore a white mourning hat, and this person's eyes were the most fierce.
Shen Xiyao looked at this man inexplicably, turned back and followed the leader, and continued walking towards the courtyard where Hou Qin was.
Qin's deputy envoy Li Zikang, who had received the news, led his people to greet them early.
Despite the fact that Hou Qin did not make a fool of himself at the banquet because he did not participate in the civil war between Wei, Chu and Shu. However, Li Zikang was still a little embarrassed when he saw Shen Xiyao.
"I didn't know that Mr. Shen was here to visit me, but I hope I'll forgive you for being a little disappointed."
Shen Xiyao said a few polite words, then changed the subject and explained her purpose.
"I wonder if His Highness Li Kuang is here? I'm here specifically to pay him a visit."
"Chang Shi Shen, please wait a moment. I have sent someone to invite His Highness to come over."
A servant served tea, and Shen Xiyao and Li Zikang had a casual chat. However, Li Zikang mostly asked, and Shen Xiyao gave some perfunctory answers.
In fact, with Shen Xiyao's temperament, she would rather just sit quietly. As for not speaking, it would make the guests and hosts look a little embarrassed. Anyway, if she doesn't feel embarrassed, then it will be others who are embarrassed.
Not long after, the tall Li Kuanglong walked in at a leisurely pace.
Shen Xiyao squinted and looked at Li Kuang carefully.
He has hair tied with a golden crown on his head, a reddish face, big ears, thick eyebrows and a wide mouth. He is nearly eight feet taller than the average person. He wears a black dark gold robe covering his body, and a palm-wide lion belt is tied around his waist. , a slim waist and a slim back.
Li Kuang was also carefully observing the woman in front of him who had brought shame to both Chu and Shu.
A rare pair of women have sharp eyebrows and crossed temples, and the beautiful Danfeng eyes flash with a light that can see everything. The bridge of the nose is straight, and the face is calm as usual, even a little cold. The wide crimson court dress wears on the body, and the figure cannot be seen. But she is not short among women.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then took their seats again after greeting each other.
Li Kuang was the first to speak.
"Changshi Shen has caused Chu and Shu to lose face. It's really remarkable."
"Your Highness, you are polite. The two countries have gone too far in bullying me. I have no choice but to take action."
Li Kuang chuckled.
"Fortunately, my Li family was founded on martial arts and is not good at literature and art. Otherwise, we would have been the ones who made a fool of ourselves that day."
"Your Highness is joking."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Li Kuang first asked about the purpose of his visit.
"I wonder why Mr. Shen came to visit this time?"
Shen Xiyao was silent for a moment before speaking.
"I... uh... I have read some books. The book said that there is a special kind of flower in the northwest called Baidie. Your Highness has lived in the northwest for a long time. Have you ever heard of it?"
Li Kuang looked at Shen Xiyao with a puzzled look, then turned his head and glanced at Li Zikang. Li Zikang quickly replied.
"Your Highness, this flower does exist. When it blooms, the flowers are really beautiful. They are planted in the back garden of the mansion, but there are not many of them. They are only for ornamental purposes."
