Chapter 128 Conspiracy is Everywhere (For Jing Xuan
I saw a lot of people coming and going in and out of the door of Yilanxiang. There were nobles dressed in silk and satin, and there were also civilians mainly dressed in satin and linen. Some came in sedans and some came in carts. The majority were young.
woman.
However, it was unusual for her to see people from all walks of life, rich and poor, high and low outside a rouge and gouache shop.
Luo Jiuli clicked his tongue twice.
"Just by looking at the magnificence of this ylang-ylang incense and the guests coming in and out, you can guess what a powerful person the master behind it is."
To be able to build a rouge and gouache shop like this, this person must be a business wizard.
"Miss, shall we go in?"
"Come in, come in, why don't you come in?"
The master and servant entered the ylang-ylang incense one after another.
However, Luo Jiuli didn't notice that only fifty meters away from Ylangxiang was a tea shop with the same two floors.
In the room in the middle of the east on the second floor, the window is wide open. A man in light green clothes is leaning against a beam, holding a money bag in his hand, with the corners of his mouth raised in disdain, and full of scorn:
"Hey! Your Majesty, is that Luo Jiuli?"
Opposite the man, there is a man wearing light blue clothes. His former skinny figure has been completely transformed after these days of recuperation. At least his figure is as straight as a pine tree.
This person was none other than Zhao Wang Xiao Zhumo. At this time, he was blowing open the fine Maojian tea slices carefully, squinting and looking at the disappearing figure at the door of Yilanxiang.
"Um."
The man opposite him tapped his fingers on the table, tapping high and low in a rhythmic manner, tilted his head and chuckled.
"It seems that the prince is planning to let her go?"
Xiao Zhumo's eyes turned dark.
"Zhou He, I have just been released from confinement by my father. At this time, I should keep a low profile and be restrained."
Zhou He was the son of Zhou Shirui, governor of Kyoto, and Zhou Shirui was the proud disciple of Grand Sima Hu Jue.
Zhou He smiled.
"People say that Luo Jiuli has changed his temper. In my opinion, the prince has changed a lot! Is the prince going to lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to act?"
"However, the prince still listens to my advice. Luo Jiuli's current status is not what it used to be. As a disciple of Ling Xuzi and the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yiguo, there are many men who want her help."
"Hmph! Really?"
Xiao Zhumo sneered and said disdainfully.
"The shoes I have worn, no one dares to marry her without my consent."
Zhou He raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, and lowered his voice:
"Your Majesty, I heard that on the second day after the assassination of the Nine Kings, Master Sima went to the Nine Princes' Mansion to diagnose the pulse of the Nine Kings with the imperial doctor and the Queen Mother's instructions. Unexpectedly, Luo Jiuli used the Emperor's imperial edict and a
The gambling was stopped outside the house."
"If this is really the case, then Luo Jiuli is not simple."
"In the past, a person who was so weak and could be bullied actually had the courage to go against the Queen Mother and Lord Sima for the sake of the Ninth Prince."
"It seems that she was either pretending before, or she deliberately kept herself low in front of the prince. As for the reason behind this-"
Zhou He said, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
"There are rumors in the capital that she is very close to the Nine Kings, and that Luo Daohan and his son can return to the capital, which is also a coup for the Nine Kings."
"Your Majesty, if the Emperor does not appoint a crown prince, your Majesty will not be able to let down his guard for a day."
When Xiao Zhumo heard this, his pupils shrank sharply.
Thinking of the night when Luo Jiuli burned down Prince Zhao's Mansion, Uncle Nine Emperors unexpectedly returned to the capital and appeared outside Prince Zhao's Mansion by coincidence. If Uncle Nine Emperors hadn't saved Luo Jiuli, would the final result have been different?
Same.
Especially after he and Luo Jiuli reconciled, almost every appearance of Luo Jiuli was more or less related to the Nine Emperors Uncle.
For example, the time when the Ministry of Punishment rescued people, the time when the palace fell into the water, and the time when Yan Tinglian was arrested, and the time when he went to the Duke of Yiguo's house to apologize.
Once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, is every appearance of the Nine Emperors Uncle a coincidence?
Zhou He saw that Xiao Zhumo's face was getting paler and paler, and he knew that his words had an effect.
"Your Majesty, I will introduce you to someone, and I promise he will know Luo Jiuli better than your Majesty."
Snap!
Zhou He clapped his hands toward the door, and the door of the wing was pushed open with a creak.
——
Inside the ylang-ylang incense, Luo Jiuli squinted his eyes and looked around the area within his sight.
As expected of Ylang Ylang, the interior space is very large and is divided into several areas. Each area sells different types of goods and prices, and the identities of the people who buy rouge and gouache in the area are also different.
But the same thing is that the shelves are made of solid wood. There are many grids on the shelves, and a dazzling array of various rouges and gouache are placed on each grid.
In front of the shelves are long counters, and in front of each long counter are two young waiters. Although they are waiters, their clothes, appearance, and height must have been specially selected to make them pleasing to the eye.
As for the upstairs.
Luo Jiuli raised his head and looked upstairs, and saw two mothers and daughters wearing soft cigarette fabrics leading up to the second floor by a waiter.
The soft cigarette is made of pure silk, and ordinary people must not be able to afford it. From this, it can be seen that the second floor is dedicated to serving high-end guests. Even the rouge and gouache sold on the second floor are definitely more expensive than those on the first floor.
It's more expensive.
Just when Luo Jiuli was thinking about it, he heard a man's voice arrogantly speaking in front of a counter.
"What? You said this balm is yours, is it yours? I took a fancy to this first. Be wise and get out of here. Don't make me angry. You can't bear the consequences."
Luo Jiuli looked over and saw a man leaning on the counter diagonally opposite, with a sinister and domineering look on his face, his chin raised, and his eyes filled with ferociousness.
Opposite that man, stood a woman who was twenty years old and dressed in a green skirt. Although the woman's appearance was not extremely charming, her temperament was elegant and her bookish aura made her appear to be an unusual person at first glance.
A woman stained with dust.
Next to the woman, there was a little maid in brown clothes.
"Sir, was I the one who chose this balm first?"
Facing the scolding of the man in front of her, the woman was neither arrogant nor impetuous, with a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes were neither anxious nor angry.
"Did you choose it first?"
The man leaned his head forward, smiled coldly, and even pointed his finger at the woman's nose, wishing he could touch her face.
"Is your name engraved on this balm?"
The woman took a step back.
"Master, please respect yourself."
"My name is not engraved on this fragrant ointment, but neither is the young master's name."
The little maid standing behind her also took a step forward and stood in front of her young lady. She frowned and spoke angrily.
"Sir, how can you be so rude? My lady indeed paid for this balm before you did. You are committing fraud and robbery."
The author has something to say: I will add more updates to Jingxuan and thank all the little fairies for their support.
