Su Niang lit a fire in the kitchen, thinking that she was going to drink in front of her, and happened to have a stack of pickles in the kitchen, so she took the stack of pickles and walked forward first, before reaching the main hall, she heard Yingren's voice, clearly listening When Yingren arrived, he called himself "King of Qi".

Although Su Niang didn't know much, she also knew what "the current sage" meant. She was surprised, and then heard Chu Huan's voice.

"My humble general will see His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Chu Huan's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Su Niang to hear. Hearing Chu Huan's visit to Ying Ren, Su Niang was startled, and knew that the young man she saw just now turned out to be the prince.

In the eyes of the people, the Son of Heaven is like a god, omnipotent, controlling the life and death of anyone in the world, and the son of the Son of Heaven is naturally a remarkable figure.

Now that she knew Yingren's identity, Su Niang dared not send up the pickles in her hand again, she tiptoed back, and hurriedly prepared new meals, she was even more afraid, thinking to herself that if she sent this stack of pickles up, it would annoy her. I didn't know if he was going to be beheaded after killing that king of Qi.

Ying Ren had already stood up and helped Chu Huan who was on the ground, staring at Chu Huan and said, "I didn't tell you your identity to make you defensive. In fact, I told you that I just didn't want to hide it anymore. Go on, this king wants to see you as a friend, not as a monarch and minister."

In fact, Chu Huan already knew that Yingren's identity was not simple, but he was still a little surprised to hear that Yingren himself admitted that he was the fourth prince. Hearing that Yingren regarded himself as a friend, he smiled and said neither humble nor overbearing: "A humble general can win His Highness's favor." I'm really flattered." Although he said he was "flattered", he didn't mean to be surprised.

Yingren looked back at Sun Desheng and said, "This is the consul eunuch next to me, Sun Desheng!"

In fact, "eunuch" is not a humble term, but a respectful term. Not everyone in the palace can be called a eunuch. The so-called eunuch must have a certain status and status in the palace.

Chu Huan bowed his hands to Sun Desheng, "Eunuch Sun!"

Sun Desheng nodded. Since Yingren claimed his identity, Sun Desheng didn't want to stop him too much. He just said softly: "Chu Huan, since you know about this private visit by His Highness, you should keep your mouth shut and don't leak the news."

Of course Chu Huan had already guessed that Ying Ren was sneaking out of the gate, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness and Eunuch, Chu Huan will not reveal it to the outside world."

Yingren patted Chu Huan on the shoulder and said, "Don't feel guilty just because you know who this king is. Let's still think about it as before, and get along as you want. If you are too polite, this king will be very angry." Not happy. Come on, sit down and talk first!"

Chu Huan smiled and sat down without restraint.

Sun Desheng lowered his voice and said: "His Royal Highness, Grand Scholar... Let's go back earlier!"

Yingren said impatiently: "Teacher won't be able to wake up after three or two hours after drinking that jar of wine. Didn't you say that the jar of wine can make the teacher sleep for at least seven or eight hours?"

Sun Desheng was embarrassed for a while, Chu Huan listened to his words, and already understood that Yingren came out tonight, or sneaked out. Out of Qi Wang Yingren was still a little jealous of Xu Congyang.

Only then did Yingren look at Chu Huan, and said, "Chu Huan, you said that 2 taels of silver can be used to redeem Ling Shuang's body, but this king's expenses have always been the responsibility of the internal treasury, and this king has no independent financial control. You must have seen this already."

Chu Huan nodded.

Yingren said again: "I don't have any money on me now, so it would be hard for you to ask you to get 2 taels of silver, and you may not have such a big network. After thinking about it, I can only borrow the money myself. The only one who can borrow is the governor of Yunshan, Qiao Mingtang. As a governor, no matter how incorruptible he is, he should still be able to take out the 2 taels of silver, and the king himself will ask him to borrow it, and he will not refuse! "

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said softly: "Your Highness, spend 2 taels of silver to redeem Miss Lingshuang's body. To ordinary people, this is nothing more than a romantic affair, and it is harmless. But... If Your Highness redeems a girl from a brothel, it will definitely happen." If you want to be criticized by others, I am afraid it will be detrimental to His Highness."

Yingren shook his head and said, "This king has thought about this, taking the silver, of course this king will not show up...!" Staring at Chu Huan, he said, "Chu Huan, take the silver to help Miss Lingshuang redeem herself!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, no!"

Yingren was startled, and frowned, "Why? You don't want to help me."

Chu Huan leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness has orders, so Chu Huan will naturally not obey them. But since His Highness favors you, Chu Huan has to consider many things for His Highness."

Seeing Chu Huan's serious expression, Ying Ren approached him and said in a low voice, "How do you say that?"

Chu Huan said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's imagine that Miss Lingshuang's ransom was 2 taels of silver, and His Highness did get 2 taels of silver from Qiao Mingtang, then I would like to ask, if you are Qiao Mingtang, Are you very interested in this, do you want to know how the 2 taels of silver are used?"

Yingren rubbed his nose, thoughtfully, finally nodded and said: "That's true, of course I want to know. It's just that Qiao Mingtang has the guts to ask what the king is going to do!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "He doesn't dare, but it doesn't mean he won't know. Your Highness, Qiao Mingtang is the governor of Xishan Road. Don't underestimate Governor Qiao's ability. If he wants to know about the big and small things of Xishan Road, Very little is unknown."

Yingren frowned, but didn't speak.

"If Your Highness asks the humble general to take the silver to redeem Miss Lingshuang, the humble general will naturally obey. But this matter is definitely not small, and it may soon reach Governor Qiao's ears...!" Chu Huan said calmly: "Imagine, Your Highness, you borrowed 2 taels of silver from Governor Qiao, and the humble general took another 2 taels of silver to redeem Miss Lingshuang... With the shrewdness of Governor Qiao, he must be able to detect the relationship soon. Moreover, with his ability, he will be able to investigate the inside story very quickly. His Highness spent a lot of money to redeem Miss Lingshuang, and Governor Qiao will definitely know about it!"

Yingren clenched his fists involuntarily, and said with a sneer, "He, Qiao Mingtang, dares to investigate this king's affairs."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Of course he doesn't dare to investigate in public, but he will definitely get to the bottom of this matter in private."

Yingren hurriedly said: "Chu Huan, what do you want to say, just say it, I trust you the most, so don't worry about what you say!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun is also a member of His Highness. Even if Chu Huan said something wrong, please bear with me." He asked softly: "I would like to ask, does Your Highness want to let Governor Qiao know about this?"

Ying Ren immediately said, "Of course I don't want to."

Sun Desheng couldn't help coming closer, and said in a low voice: "Chu Huan, no matter how big or small, Qiao Mingtang should not know about His Highness' affairs. Especially this matter, if Qiao Mingtang knows about it, maybe...!" But no go on.

Chu Huan said: "Are there any worries, Your Highness and Eunuch Sun?"

Ying Ren thought for a while, finally sighed, and said in a low voice: "Chu Huan, I will not hide it from you, but do you know how Qiao Mingtang became the governor of Yunshan Mansion?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

Yingren said: "My lord will not hide it from you. This Qiao Mingtang's father-in-law, Mo Qingrao, used to serve as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy, and he has some contacts in the court. He was very close to the prince's brother back then, so he can be regarded as the prince's brother. Qiao Mingtang because of Because of Mo Qingrao, he also became the disciple of the elder brother of the crown prince. He was able to become the governor of Yunshan Mansion because of his real talents, and secondly, it was because the elder brother of the crown prince strongly recommended him to the emperor... To put it bluntly, Qiao Mingtang It's the prince's brother!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan frowned.

"Brother Prince and this king have a good relationship." Ying Ren said in a low voice, "Brother Prince and this king are both born of the queen mother, but brother Prince is very rigid and is very strict with this king. If brother Prince knows that this king is a brothel The woman redeems herself, then...!" Having said this, her face was full of worry.

Chu Huan said: "If Governor Qiao is a member of His Highness the Crown Prince, then he knows that His Highness redeemed Miss Lingshuang, and he will wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to know about it...!"

Ying Ren smiled wryly, "From this point of view, the money cannot be borrowed from Qiao Mingtang."

Chu Huan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Your Highness is in such a difficult situation, the humble general has an idea, but... it's a bit risky!"

Yingren's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help reaching out to grab Chu Huan's hand, and said, "Chu Huan, what do you think? As long as you can save Miss Lingshuang, I will definitely reward you!"

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally leaned close to Yingren's ear, whispered something, Yingren frowned slightly, and asked, "Is this...is it okay?"

Chu Huan looked solemn, and said: "Time waits for no one, and we won't be able to raise so much silver in a short while. In fact, although the humble general estimates that 2 taels of silver can redeem Miss Lingshuang, this is just an estimate. How much, I don’t know. Miss Ling Shuang is now the head of the big business and the cash cow of Cuiyulou. Cuiyulou will not let go easily. As complicated and troublesome as it is, it’s not as easy as this... But the aftermath , but His Highness needs to arrange it well, and there must be no mistakes!"

Yingren nodded slightly, picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Chu Huan, since this is the case, this is the only way to do it. I will leave this matter to you, but every step is important. Be careful, don't make any mistakes." Looking back at Sun Desheng, he said in a low voice: "This king will let Sun Desheng secretly arrange...!"

Chu Huan said: "Has Your Highness made up your mind?"

Yingren nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!"

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness has an order, and Chu Huan will do his best to complete this matter for His Highness!"

Yingren said with some gratitude: "Chu Huan, you are very good. When I am in the most difficult time, you can do things for me like this. I will definitely remember your contribution!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Your Highness is respectful and virtuous, Corporal, you value Chu Huan so much, and you can still regard Chu Huan as a friend. Since you are a friend, it is Chu Huan's honor to be able to help!"

Yingren laughed, the haze on his face just now dissipated a lot, he picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, let's drink!"——
