Resourceful beauty

Chapter 120

"Is there still no news at all?"

Seeing Kapok come in from outside with no expression on her face, Fang Ruxuan raised her heart and asked.

Mu Mian shook his head and talked about another matter, "I met a follower of Mr. Chu outside. He said that Mr. Chu also sent people to Wanzhou to find the prince and his son. It's good news or bad news. They will be sent to the capital as soon as possible, Mr. Chu told Miss not to be too anxious."

Chu Yuan's help made Fang Ruxuan feel some inexplicable feelings again.

After the trip to the palace, Fang Ruxuan never saw Chu Yuan in private again, and even sent Ding Xiang to check on Chu Yuan's injuries.

Ding Xiang came back and replied, saying that Chu Yuan's words and deeds were the same as in the past, and there was no abnormality in his arms other than inconvenience, and he specifically told Fang Ruxuan not to pay too much attention.

But, how can you not care?

The place where Chu Yuan was hit by the arrow was at the shoulder, if he hadn't pounced, Fang Ruxuan would have been shot/shot at the throat, and if he was killed by an arrow, it would be difficult for the Immortal Da Luo to save him.

There were so many people in the palace, Fang Ruxuan was inconvenient to visit and thank Chu Yuan in person, and when she returned to the capital in a hurry, she was busy with her father and brother's affairs all day long, Fang Ruxuan didn't bother to go out of the mansion to see Chu Yuan, I don't know if he has recovered from his injuries now.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, but Fang Ruxuan didn't know what to say.

On the side, Mu Mian seemed to see what Fang Ruxuan was thinking, "I have asked you, Mr. Chu's injury has long since healed, and there are no sequelae, and it will not affect Mr. Chu's life in the future. Don't worry, Miss."

After hesitating for a while, Fang Ruxuan said softly: "When you are free these few days, you can go to the Proton Mansion to take a look at him for me. If it is convenient for him, make an appointment and let's meet outside. The grace of saving lives should be in person anyway. Thanks."

Kapok nodded in agreement.

After the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, red curtains were drawn everywhere in Prince Qi's mansion, and occasionally passing by the front hall during the day, you could still see servants stepping on ladders and hanging red lanterns under the eaves.

There was joy everywhere, but Fang Ruxuan's heart was getting heavier and heavier.

In the evening, when I went to the Yixin Hall to say hello, I heard Su Yuan ask about the wedding banquet.

Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen prepared every detail, so naturally there would be no omissions, and the betrothal gifts were prepared according to the highest standards for the grand marriage of the eldest son, those given by the palace, those left by Su Xin, and those given by the Bai family. It was a thick stack of gift slips sent in the name of my grandmother. Su Yuan only glanced at it a few times before throwing it aside with displeasure.

"From the capital to Fuyang, it takes four days to go back and forth. At the latest, on August 23, the wedding team should leave for Fuyang. It seems that there are only a few days left."

The closer the wedding day was, the more excited Su Yuan became. Although King Qi and Fang Zhengjun were not necessarily dead, Su Yuan felt that with every day of delay, the possibility of Fang Zhengru becoming the son of the world increased. one cent.

Concubine Wu nodded and said: "Wait another two days, if the son still doesn't come back, I will have to trouble the third young master for a hard time."

Su Yuan nodded in agreement, waved her hands contentedly to signal everyone to back down, and began to calculate.

The night was misty and the moonlight was soft. Fang Ruxuan was sitting under the eaves with her clothes on, looking at the dim stars in the night sky covered by clouds and mist. Her heart seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, which made her uneasy.

Everything around was very quiet, with the breeze blowing and the rustling of leaves, Fang Ruxuan seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.

She got up and took a walk in the yard for a while. Seeing that Ding Xiang had lifted the curtain to look around several times, Fang Ruxuan sighed softly and planned to go back to sleep.

After walking a few steps, the courtyard door creaked, and Kapok rushed in quickly.

"Miss, I remember you said that Shanshuiju study room, except for the prince, only you and the prince can enter, right?"

Kapok walked up to Fang Ruxuan and asked.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan nodding, Mu Mian said suspiciously: "But when I passed by Shanshui Residence just now, I saw a faint candle flame in Wang Ye's study room. As soon as I took a few steps closer, the candle flame went out."

In King Qi's study room, apart from the treasured paintings and calligraphy, there are also antiques and so on. At this time, the only ones who enter the study room are thieves.

However, all parts of Prince Qi's mansion have always been heavily guarded, and idle thieves will not be able to enter. If it is a family thief, it is still possible.

Without thinking about it, Fang Ruxuan went back to the house and got dressed, without alarming anyone, she just took kapok to Shanshuiju.

The gate of Shanshuiju was locked tightly, and there was no trace of anyone coming. Fang Ruxuan looked at Kapok suspiciously, and saw her pouted.

At the corner of the courtyard wall, a ladder can be vaguely seen standing.

If it is a thief, it is impossible to carry a ladder to steal, and Fang Ruxuan is more and more sure that he is an inside thief.

He tiptoedly opened the back door and slipped into the Shanshui residence, and saw the flickering candlelight in the back window of the study room, and on the window paper, a vague figure buried his head in search of something.

Fang Ruxuan recognized at a glance that the figure was Su Yuan.

Following behind Mu Mian and hiding under the window, she heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and boxes in the study, and Su Yuan cursed in a low voice.

Almost every good thing she finds, Su Yuan can tell the history, some of them were spoiled by her, but King Qi didn't let her go.

If you don't give it to her, then it's obviously for Fang Zhengjun, or Fang Ruxuan, how can Su Yuan not be angry?

Cursing was cursing, but Su Yuan didn't dare to think about it. She held it in her hand and looked at it before putting it back, while searching for the jade pendant in the painting that can summon soldiers and horses.

"Tell me, will the prince wear it on his body?"

Su Yuan asked while searching.

It was Mother Zhao who answered, "I have never seen that jade pendant before. As for the one on the prince's body, it has always been the dragon pattern pendant given by the former emperor, so maybe it is not on the prince's body."

"For such an important thing, the lord wouldn't keep it in the mansion. He probably took it to Wanzhou with him. It's not a good idea for us to search for it like a chicken without a head here."

Straightening up and sighing helplessly, Su Yuan waved her hand at Mammy Zhao, "Let's put it all back together. When Manager Qi comes back, just say that there is no one in the mansion, and let their people figure out a way in Wanzhou."

Zhao Nanny responded, and then there was a slight noise in the study, perhaps she returned all the things Su Yuan dug out to their original places.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the study room opened, the master and servant blew out the candles, and under the cover of the moonlight, they climbed over the wall and left Shanshuiju, returning to Yixin Hall.

The majestic princess would climb over the wall to steal from her husband's study in the middle of the night. No one would believe such a thing, right?

However, Su Yuan could do it.

"Miss, shall we go in and have a look?"

Kapok turned around and asked Fang Ruxuan.

"Don't go, it's fine if she returns without success."

Fang Ruxuan shook her head.

Returning from the back door and returning to Shu Yuxuan, Fang Ruxuan said to herself: "Although I don't know what she is looking for, at least, now we know that the person's surname is Qi, and he is still in charge. As for who is next to her?" , we will find out one day. Tell me, is there anything around father that outsiders want to keep in mind?"

Today's King Qi, without military power, what else can people miss?If there are private collections in the mansion, but these are not as valuable as the collections of some wealthy families in the capital, Fang Ruxuan is puzzled.

"From this point of view, the identity of Manager Qi is worth pondering. Maybe, knowing who his master is, we will be able to know their intentions."

Kapok analyzed from the side.

Fang Ruxuan agreed, "In the past few days, have you been keeping an eye on Manager Qi? Besides the Qiu Mansion, who else has he been in contact with?"

Mu Mian shook his head, "He lives in an inn in the city, and he usually stays behind closed doors, and I haven't seen him in contact with anyone. What I know now is that he has seen the princess and been to the Qiu Mansion."

There are so few clues, Fang Ruxuan can only put it aside for now.

In the afternoon of the second day, Fang Ruxuan went out with kapok.

I got off the carriage in the alley next to Huixian Tower, and followed Mu Mian through the maze-like alleys for a long time. Finally, I saw Mu Mian stop and knocked on a small black door beside him a few times.

The courtyard door opened, and a man who looked like a buddy seemed to recognize Kapok, and let Fang Ruxuan and Kapok in.

It looks simple from the outside, but it's quite different when you enter the door.

Although it is a small yard, although the sparrows are small and complete, there are osmanthus trees along the way, and the pavilions and pavilions are also interesting. Entering the second yard, under the plane tree, Chu Yuan leisurely played the piano, On the desk next to her, the fragrance of tea curled up.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan enter the door, Chu Yuan stopped, got up and sat behind the tea table, "I just got the Liu'an melon slices yesterday, the Princess has a taste..."

Before coming here, Fang Ruxuan was actually a little nervous. She owed Chu Yuan so many favors. Now, with the help of saving her life, even if she gave a gift worth a thousand dollars, she could not express her gratitude. The cooperative relationship that the two had originally established suddenly became separated.

However, Fang Ruxuan felt that if she only said thank you, it was too hasty. Along the way, Fang Ruxuan's mood was a little complicated.

But at this moment, all the complications were repelled by Chu Yuan's casual greeting.

Without mentioning the palace, Fang Ruxuan looked back at the arrangement in the courtyard, and asked with a smile, "Is this your other courtyard?"

Chu Yuan nodded, "One."

Fang Ruxuan smiled, "They all say that the cunning rabbit has three holes, but now, this sentence should be applied to you."

Chu Yuan laughed loudly, without denying it, his subordinates moved smoothly, and in an instant, he handed a bowl of tea to Fang Ruxuan.

Aside, Kapok turned around and backed out.

The weather was bright, the sun was warm, and the cool breeze was blowing under the sycamore tree. Looking at Fang Ruxuan who was sipping tea, Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. nervous?

And now, that's fine.
