Chapter 16 Friendship between gentlemen is as light as water
"A medical expert?"
Zhao Yan murmured, but his mind was recalling what Yinyin had said to him before leaving.
'You and I have left each other with indelible memories, haven't we?'
Yinyin's voice came to mind again, giving Zhao Yan a bad premonition?
Could it be that the former Zhao Yan was really a scumbag?
I heard Jiang Lingyue mention that time many times, but Zhao Yan's memory had been long gone and he never thought of it.
Now that we analyze it, it seems that Zhao Yan has more than one woman in his past.
And it's either the beauty of the country is fragrant or the power is overwhelming.
Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan, what kind of person are you, with such a colorful past?
"What do you want to do?"
Suzaku noticed that Zhao Yan was stunned. Following his demented gaze, the guy was staring at her untied clothes and peeking at her.
Little did he know that Zhao Yan was deep in thought.
"I'm hungry."
You will naturally get hungry quickly if you work hard.
"roll."
Suzaku spat.
After passing this village, there is no such shop, and Suzaku no longer wants to be fed according to the order.
"Tch, I'll go to the imperial kitchen to find some food."
Zhao Yan curled his lips, clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head as he looked for something to eat. He was really hungry.
The imperial kitchen looked for some food, but the servants knelt down and could not get up. It seemed that they were sending the concubine away respectfully, but in fact they were waiting for rewards.
Zhao's home has been ransacked and her ATM machine has been lost. Jiang Lingyue has been sparse, or she has deliberately not given him monthly money.
This made Zhao Yan one big and two big.
"Blue Dragon."
"My dear uncle, Qinglong's diarrhea hasn't healed yet."
Damn it, I've finished my whole meal, and he didn't finish his poop?
It was obvious that he was avoiding being alone.
"White Tiger?"
"Master Guo, Baihu's leg hurts. He asked for leave today. Did you forget?"
"Xuanwu?"
"Master Guo..."
"I know, needless to say, Xuanwu also has a headache, right?"
Zhao Yan muttered to himself feebly.
They are all white-eyed wolves. If I ask you to borrow some money, I think highly of you. I will repay you in the future. I am a short-sighted person who does not understand the principles of investment.
Zhao Yan also didn’t want to be acquainted with these ancients.
"Suzaku looks at the children."
Zhao Yan had no choice but to set his sights on Suzaku. At this time, only the Emperor Suzaku was following Zhao Yan like a shadow.
"My servant thanks you, Lord Guo, and Lord Suzaku."
The servants were very knowledgeable and quickly kowtowed and thanked Suzaku without waiting for the reward.
This made Suzaku give Zhao Yan a hard look.
He squandered the money and swore that Zhao Yan would pay it back in double the amount.
"No one will be satisfied after eating and drinking, hehehehe."
Zhao Yan glanced at Zhuque and deliberately teased him. Nowadays, only in public could he dare to tease Zhuque, who was as hot as fire. If he didn't anger Zhuque for a minute, he would feel uncomfortable.
"Since I have had enough food and wine, please go back to the palace to rest."
Suzaku gritted his silver teeth, just waiting to go back and take revenge.
"Gu and your senior brothers are all gentlemen, and borrowing their money is like cutting off their flesh. We are not the same."
Zhao Yan was worried that the vengeful Suzaku would seek revenge on him, so he quickly explained.
"Why not?"
Suzaku's eyes were sharp and he held his breath and said.
"We can communicate in depth and in simple terms, but we can't with them."
Zhao Yan explained with a wicked smile.
"Communication in simple and in-depth terms?"
Suzaku was wondering if Zhao Yan's words had any deeper meaning. Suddenly his pretty face turned red and he was about to pull out his sword and run away.
"I kill you."
"Oh, it's a joke, but it's also true."
Zhao Yan hurriedly walked away.
"Master Guo."
Zhao Yan was chased by Suzaku, and Qinglong came to rescue him.
"What's the matter?"
"My aunt, at your request, I sent people to keep an eye on the Crown Prince of Zhengxi. His door is closed and he never goes out again, and he has no meritorious deeds in making friends with the dignitaries of the imperial city."
Qinglong truthfully reported the life trajectory of Prince Zhengxi.
Since leaving Zangchun Pavilion, the prince has lived in seclusion and has never had any friendship with the high-ranking officials in the capital.
It can be said that he was cautious and gave the empress the illusion of having no ambition.
"anything else?"
After listening to Qinglong's report, Zhao Yan asked with some dissatisfaction.
"No more, that's all."
Qinglong was confused. With just this little information about Prince Zhengxi, could it be that he could still fabricate it?
"Where's the top card of Zangchun Pavilion?"
As soon as Zhao Yan said these words, Suzaku was immediately alert.
It seems that at this time, Suzaku was not only acting on the emperor's orders, but also had a feeling of being strict with her husband.
"That yellow-haired girl?"
Qinglong asked doubtfully.
"That's called exotic customs. If you, a warrior, can't explain it, why don't you tell me where Yin Yin is?"
Zhao Yan planned to find Yinyin when he got rich. He couldn't always recruit prostitutes according to orders. Even if he had a gold medal to protect him, the old madam would still be anxious if she couldn't make money.
"The top priority of Zangchun Pavilion is still to show off one's skills but not one's body. Every day I only meet talented people who are the most talented in the Three Liangs. It's a pity that no one has this honor so far."
It can be said that the banner of Yinyin played a key role in the ability of Zangchun Pavilion to remain standing in the Spring Tower in the capital.
All those suave nobles and nobles came here because of its reputation. Although they couldn't get acquainted with each other, they still came back satisfied after drinking flower wine, looking across the flower building, and then making comments.
The fact that Prince Zhengxi thanked guests behind closed doors could only mean that he was waiting for an opportunity, and would then take the initiative to look for Zhao Yan.
After all, in their opinion, what is in Zhao Yan's hand is the most important, which is also an important reason why Prince Zhengxi ventured into the capital.
As for Yinyin, it was too troublesome for Zhao Yan.
Before he died, the assassin told him to find Yinyin. It couldn't be as simple as reminiscing about old times.
Fortunately, the preliminary work has already begun, and she is just waiting for Yinyin to hear the beautiful story of how Zhao Yan gave up on food and drink because of her, and finally fell ill.
It is not difficult to see from the relationships between several people that they are intricately linked. What is the relationship between Yinyin and Prince Zhengxi?
"Suzaku, aren't you suspicious of Yin Yin? I will give you a task to investigate why Yin Yin ended up in a brothel."
Without waiting for Suzaku's consent, Zhao Yan immediately assigned Qinglong a new mission.
"Qinglong, come with me to pay a visit to Zuo Qianqiu. It's time for the Minister of War to show up."
This minister of the Ministry of War was an alternative in the eyes of the ministers, and a loyal minister in the eyes of Zhao's father, but why did the loyal minister get involved with the crown prince of Zhengxi?
The confusion of identity forced Zhao Yan to sort out the intricate relationship between them.
"Zuo Qianqiu?"
Qinglong said in surprise.
"Do you know each other? Do you have any friendship?"
Zhao Yan felt that it was reasonable for Qinglong, as a palace guard, to interact with the Minister of War.
"It's not the country's aunt. Just now when my subordinates went out to inquire about the crown prince's information, they saw a mess in Zuo Qianqiu's house. It was only after asking around that he found out that he was in trouble."
What Qinglong said made Zhao Yan feel that Zuo Qianqiu was not consistent with his identity.
The official title of a fifth-rank minister of the Ministry of War. In ancient times, a fifth-rank official was a senior official, at least wearing a red robe.
"Who dares to bully the Minister of War?"
"The wealthy gentleman in the north of the city is Mr. Lu."
Well?
Is there any mistake? People dare to bully officials?
