Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1692 Entering the East Palace

"His Royal Highness, this Zhao Bao died of illness a few days ago. This Lu Xiang'er is a relative of Zhao Bao in Luoyang City, but Zhao Bao died, and Lu Xiang'er took refuge in Zhao Bao, so naturally he will not get any protection."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's heart ached slightly, as if a beauty like Lu Xiang'er couldn't bear the slightest harm.

"Zhao Bao's widow drove Lu Xiang'er out?"

The spy shook his head: "I didn't drive him out, but they thought Lu Xiang'er was beautiful and wanted to sell him to the dignitaries in Chang'an City, so they pretended to be ingratiating and kept Lu Xiang'er in the house, waiting for the buyer to come."

Zhao Bao's official position in Chang'an City is not high, and his salary is not too much, but before that, his family relied on Zhao Bao's salary and could barely make a living in Chang'an City, but now that Zhao Bao died, they also With the source of income cut off, it makes sense for Zhao Bao's wife to want to sell Lu Xiang'er for a good price.

However, Li Chengqian was a little angry. Even if he was short of money, he couldn't make such dirty money, right?
Seeing Li Chengqian like this, the spy quickly said: "His Royal Highness, do you want your subordinates to teach Zhao Bao's widow a lesson?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said: "There is no rush, we will make plans after the buyer comes to the door."

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian thought about it, and asked the spies to go to Luoyang City to investigate and see some of Lu Xiang'er's situation. The spies didn't think too much, and agreed directly.

In a place like Chang'an City, there are many beauties. It can be said that half of the beauties in Datang may be in Chang'an City.

There is no shortage of beauties in Chang'an City, so it is not easy to sell a woman for a good price, or find someone who can afford it.

But in this world, there are always some people who are exceptions, such as Lu Xiang'er, after Zhao Bao's widow let some dignitaries take a look at Lu Xianger, these dignitaries all fell in love with Lu Xianger.

One by one, they must get Lu Xiang'er, if they can't get it, they will suddenly feel that life is meaningless.

And these people wanted to get Lu Xiang'er, so they naturally gave Zhao Bao's widow a chance to drive up the price.

In the end, Zhao Bao's widow sold Lu Xiang'er to a powerful man named Gu Jiang for [-] yuan.

Gu Jiang was in his forties, and he was in his prime. There were eight or nine wives and concubines in his family, but he never gave birth to a son. If he didn't have a son, he wanted to marry more wives and concubines.

After seeing Lu Xiang'er, he paid [-] yuan without hesitation, and defeated the others.

Zhao Bao's widow took the money and was naturally willing to sell Lu Xiang'er.

After setting the time with Gu Jiang, he came to Lu Xianger and told Lu Xianger about the situation.

"Miss Lu, you also know that it is not easy to protect you after the man in our family died, but I found you a good family. After you go, you will be a rich wife. How do you want to enjoy it? Just enjoy it, Miss Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Xiang'er just came to seek refuge with Zhao Bao. She thought that if Zhao Bao died, she would have nowhere to go. She never thought that Zhao Bao's widow would take him in. She thought Zhao Bao's widow was a good person, but she just wanted to exchange her for money.

Lu Xiang'er was a little angry, and said: "I don't agree, I'm not someone from your Zhao family, why do you decide my marriage, I want to leave."

Lu Xiang'er wanted to leave angrily, but was slapped by Zhao Bao's widow and fell to the ground.

"Leave? I don't need to spend money to support you these days. I have already sold you. If you still want to leave, stay here obediently. In the afternoon, Gu Jiang will personally bring someone to marry you ,"

Saying that, Zhao Bao's widow closed the door and walked away, leaving Lu Xiang'er alone in the room, shouting and crying.
-
Evening came.

Gu Jiang came to Zhao Bao's house in a carriage.

"Where is Miss Lu?"

"Just wait in the house, but you'd better have more people, this Miss Lu has a bad temper."

Seeing that Zhao Bao's widow failed to convince Lu Xiang'er, Gu Jiang frowned slightly. For [-] yuan, he still hoped to buy a more obedient woman.

If you are disobedient and bring it to your own house, wouldn't it be a crime for yourself?

He was a little angry, and said, "Is this how you do things?"

Zhao Bao's widow curled her lips and said, "If you don't want it, I'll just refund the money to you. There are many people who want to marry Lu Meiren from our family, and you are the only one."

Gu Jiang's expression moved slightly, and then he laughed quickly: "Just kidding, kidding, of course I want it, of course I want it."

It's one thing for a beauty to be disobedient, but it's another thing for a beauty to get into other men's bed.

In Gu Jiang's view, the most important thing is to get the beauty to the house first.

After the two casually said a few words like this, Gu Jiang took people to Lu Xiang'er's room, and then directly ordered people to take Lu Xiang'er away in a chain.

Lu Xiang'er yelled twice at first, but was quickly gagged, and then carried out of Zhao Bao's house.

However, when they left Zhao Bao's residence, there were a few people standing in front of Zhao Bao's residence, the leader was young, but he was imposing.

This Gu Jiang is a dignitary in Chang'an City, and his knowledge is still good. After seeing this young man, he immediately knelt down on the ground in fright.

"Too...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Xiang'er was tied up, and when she saw Li Chengqian, there was a hint of surprise on her face, but when she heard Gu Jiang call out his identity, she was taken aback suddenly, and she was a little dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe it was true of.

And Li Chengqian stood in front of everyone with a cold expression: "What's going on?"

Gu Jiang rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, this is a concubine's room I bought."

"But it seems that people don't like it. Open his mouth."

There was no other way, Gu Jiang could only order someone to tear off what was on Lu Xiang'er's mouth.

"Help me, His Royal Highness, save me."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Tell me what's going on?"

"I came to seek refuge with Zhao Bao, but I was sold by his widow without even thinking about it. I am not someone from their family. He sold me like this. This is a violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Please help me, His Royal Highness..."

When encountering a life-saving straw, Lu Xiang'er naturally would not give up, and quickly told the prince Li Chengqian about the situation, and when he said this, Li Chengqian's face became colder and colder.

But Gu Jiang and Zhao Bao's widows were terrified. Selling people like this is indeed against the law. If one is not serious, they may be imprisoned. Both of them are so scared that they dare not raise their heads now.
