Chapter 56 Inquiry
After leaving the steel plant, Chu Tianshu felt a little uneasy.

Qi Yingzhi didn't know what she was planning, but it definitely wouldn't be a friendly thing for her.

But in exchange for Xiao He's stability, it's not bad.

After that, Chen Wangqi did it.

This old man... After listening to Qi Yingzhi's description, Chu Tianshu felt that this old man seemed easy to deal with.

But it still takes some planning.

Thinking about it, Chu Tianshu bought some good wine, a roast chicken and two pig knuckles.

After buying these things, Chu Tianshu took advantage of the nightfall to return to the palace and went to look for Lao He.

Now, Chu Tianshu has a valid reason.

"Why are you still drinking?" When Chu Tianshu saw Lao He, this forty-year-old brother was still drinking. He seemed to be drinking all the time.

"Why don't you drink?" Lao He rubbed his eyes, and when he saw that it was Chu Tianshu, he laughed: "You must have something to ask me for, right?"

"You know again?" Chu Tianshu shook his head: "Can't I be bored and find someone to chat with?"

"How is that possible?" Lao He also has some self-knowledge: "A smart person like you has a bright future if you win the favor of young masters and young ladies. Your time should be spent thinking about how to please young ladies and gentlemen. It shouldn't be just chatting with a coachman like me."

"You came to me, not because you have something to ask me, but because you must have something to ask me." Lao He took a sip of his wine: "You said I guessed right?"

Chu Tianshu nodded: "You are right, very right!"

"Old He, you are also a very smart person." Chu Tianshu sighed.

"No, no, no." Lao He shook his head: "I'm a fool, and I can guess a smart person like you only because I have met several smart people like you."

"Really?" Chu Tianshu opened the paper bag he was carrying, and the smell of roast chicken burst out instantly.

Old He swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I bought this roast chicken too?"

"It's for the two of us to eat." Chu Tianshu smiled, and opened the good wine again.

Old He sniffed the aroma of the wine and took a deep breath: "Such a good wine, you got rich?"

"Small hair doesn't count as fat." Chu Tianshu poured wine, "Come and taste this good wine?"

"Yes!" Lao He impatiently picked up the wine glass, without clinking with Chu Tianshu, he poured the wine directly into his mouth.

"Hiss~ha." Old He let out a breath of foul air: "It really is good wine."

"Is it okay?"

"It's not bad, it's really good." Lao He said, "Such a good wine is really worthy of such a good roast chicken and pig's trotters."

As he spoke, he picked up a pig's hand and gnawed on it.

The juicy juicy pork knuckle with skin is overflowing, salty and delicious.

"Good!" Lao He clapped the table again: "It's delicious!"

He ate meat in big mouthfuls and drank wine glass by glass.

After drinking for a while, he seemed to feel that it was not enjoyable enough, so he didn't care about Chu Tianshu, just picked up the jug and poured it into his mouth.

"Refreshing, refreshing!" Old He ate happily.

Chu Tianshu just watched him eat and drink.

After a long time, Lao He was full of food and drink, took out a small wooden stick to pick his teeth, and asked over and over again while picking his teeth, "What do you need from me?"

"I am full?"

"I'm full." Lao He patted his belly: "Eat and drink enough."

"Okay." Chu Tianshu nodded: "That's good."

"I want to ask, what is the prince busy with recently?" Chu Tianshu said slowly.

Old He was stunned for a moment: "Are you asking the prince?"

"Correct."

"His Royal Highness Chen Wang?"

"Yes, it's King Chen." Chu Tianshu nodded.

Old He slowed down for a while.

He was still a little surprised.

Chu Tianshu obviously followed the path of Young Master Seventeen and Miss Six.

He should be regarded as the confidant of these two.

Why did you suddenly ask about the prince?
Old He hesitated for a while and asked: "Brother Chu, don't blame brother for talking too much, I want to ask, what do you want to do when you inquire about the prince?"

Chu Tianshu smiled: "Yes, Brother He, you don't know yet."

Chu Tianshu stood up and said excitedly, "Brother He, the prince has let me go."

"Out of citizenship?" Old He asked with a blank face, "What?"

"I'm out of slavery." Chu Tianshu repeated: "I'm no longer a slave in the palace."

Lao He was taken aback, and the alcohol disappeared immediately: "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true." Chu Tianshu nodded: "Your Highness is very gracious, and you don't ask for anything in return for your kindness, but the one with the surname Chu has to remember it, and also has to repay it."

Old He smacked his lips, feeling uninterested: "I'm out of nationality..."

Lao He never thought about leaving his nationality.

He has lived in the palace all his life, and he is actually very strange to the outside world psychologically.

Hearing that Chu Tian was relieved all of a sudden, for some reason, I always felt uncomfortable in my heart.

"How is it, brother He, do you know about the prince?" Chu Tianshu asked.

Lao He shook his head: "If you want to ask Miss Six and Young Master Seventeen, I know something, but about the prince... I have to find someone to ask."

"That works." Chu Tianshu nodded: "Then you can ask for me."

"Then you..." Lao He thought for a while: "You can come to the palace the day after tomorrow."

"Or the day after tomorrow afternoon, after the Seventeenth Young Master is out of school, you wait for me at the gate of the palace."

"It's not necessary." Chu Tianshu shook his head: "I still live in the palace, and the prince gave me a small separate courtyard for temporary residence."

"Heh!" Old He's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"That must be true." Chu Tianshu nodded: "Do you want to visit my place?"

"Let's go, let's go." Lao He got up immediately: "Does the prince like you so much?"

"That's for sure!" Chu Tianshu patted his chest: "That's why I was thinking about repaying the kindness of the prince!"

"You boy." Lao He patted Chu Tianshu on the shoulder: "I knew you had a future...but you are not in the Palace anymore..."

"That's right." Lao He patted himself on the head again: "Look at me, I'm confused after drinking."

"I forgot, you are valued by the prince, so what does it matter if you are in the palace or not? That is the prince."

"Let's go, go and have a look at my place." Chu Tianshu took Lao He to the courtyard where he lived in the palace.

The small courtyard is clean and quiet, and the environment is very good. Lao He looked around in the courtyard, envious, and kept patting Chu Tianshu on the shoulder: "You are really well-developed, kid."

"My lord treats you very well."

"No wonder you are so eager to repay the prince."

Lao He watched for a moment or so and left.

Afterwards, Chu Tianshu washed his face with water, found a pen and paper in the room, and slowly began to write.

King Chen got engaged to all the young masters and ladies in the mansion.

But Qi Yingzhi's situation is a bit special, she was taken by Qin Fuzheng's son.

In the imperial court, the discussions of the kings are related to military operations.

All the palaces except the Chen Palace have benefited from the war and the discussions among the kings.

——The old man has already started to admit defeat, and he is no longer so rebellious.

What he wants to pursue is to catch the last train of war dividends!
After Chu Tianshu wrote this, he stopped writing and read it again.

After making sure that he didn't have too many omissions, he lit a fire and burned the writing.
