Concubine falling from heaven

Chapter 17
Speaking of which, one of the gentlemen, who was rather gentle, took a fan and walked towards Meng Zihan, but Meng Zihan was still standing aside and watching with great interest.

Walking to Meng Zihan's side, he bowed respectfully: "Girl is polite!"

Meng Zihan was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the person, and after looking at the person, he did not answer.

"In Wenjie, the girl likes to watch Miss Yingying dance so much, how about sitting down and watching while drinking?"

"Gentle scum!" Meng Zihan squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

The young man who called himself Wenjie raised his head and looked surprised, but chuckled in an instant: "If there were no gentle scum in the girl's mouth, wouldn't the girl lose her business, and this country-colored 0 fragrance building would also be closed down."

It seemed that Meng Zihan was regarded as a girl here. Meng Zihan looked around at him to see what he looked like.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, another alcoholic stumbled over, hugged Meng Zihan, looked at her obscenely, and said excitedly: "Beauty, come, let me have a drink with you."

"Get out!" Meng Zihan struggled hard but was still unable to break free.

At some point, two burly men suddenly appeared behind him, and "helped" the drunk to the seat, while Mu Fengniang twisted her body to smooth things over.Although the drunk man was a little fussy at first, he was coaxed and coaxed by Mu Fengniang to appease him after a while.No wonder there are so many well-dressed dignitaries here, and the business is so booming.

Mu Fengniang still had a smiling face when she came to Meng Zihan, she really looked like a woman who had seen strong winds and waves.

I thought she would scold me severely, but who knew that she said calmly, "Can the girl dance?"

Meng Zihan shook his head.

"Do you want to learn?" Mu Fengniang asked tentatively.

Meng Zihan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he regained his composure in a blink of an eye, looked back at Mu Fengniang and said, "I don't want to learn!"

Mu Fengniang covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Don't you want to learn? Then why did you forget to run away when you saw Yingying dancing just now?"

"I..." Meng Zihan was momentarily at a loss for words.No wonder someone rescued her so quickly just now. It turned out that this Mu Fengniang had sent people to watch her all the time, and it seemed that it was not easy to get away.

Seeing that everyone in the hall was staring at her like a wolf, Meng Zihan felt uncomfortable, so he could only snort coldly and went upstairs again.

Above the court, all the ministers are discussing the actions of the poor in "Ganlin Town".Regarding the matter of injuring officials, everyone expressed their opinions and couldn't settle down. After hearing this, Mu Xuanyi had no choice but to make a decision.But there are a few people who are absent-minded.

Mu Xuanchen, who stood at the head of the ministers, frowned tightly and said nothing.And An Lingfei was also frowning, thoughtful.Hua Yankang, who was standing opposite, kept looking at the two of them, and had no intention of discussing state affairs at all.

Emperor Xuanyi looked at the three people who would give advice and advice in case of troubles, but today he was uncharacteristically puzzled.

After looking at Mu Xuanchen, he said, "Prince Chen, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Mu Xuanchen didn't respond.

"Prince Chen!" Mu Xuanyi called again.

Mu Xuanchen still didn't respond.It wasn't until the minister behind him reminded him that Mu Xuanchen woke up like a dream.

"What's wrong with Prince Chen today? As well as Commander An and General Hua, you all have your own concerns today, so I don't know what's going on?" Mu Xuanyi asked suspiciously.

Hearing Emperor Xuanyi mentioned him, both An Lingfei and Hua Yankang came to their senses immediately, but they looked hesitant and never told the truth.

Mu Xuanchen said: "Your Majesty, I just feel unwell today, so I was a little flustered just now."

"What about Commander An and General Hua? They're also unwell?" Mu Xuanyi asked again.

After An Lingfei and Hua Yankang looked at each other, they said in unison: "Yes."

Mu Xuanyi felt that something was wrong, but he didn't go into it further in the court, and just asked them to retreat to the imperial study.

Inside the imperial study
Sitting in his seat, Mu Xuanyi carefully looked at the three people standing in front of him. Since he ascended the throne, he has never seen the three of them lose their composure so much, so it is impossible to guess why they are in a trance today. .

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Mu Xuanyi asked straight to the point.

Hua Yankang wanted to speak, but Mu Xuanyi added: "General Hua, don't fool me with your usual rhetoric, tell the truth!"

Hua Yankang raised his eyebrows, it seems that if he doesn't tell the truth today, he won't be able to leave the Imperial Study Room.Looking at Mu Xuanchen and An Lingfei beside him, he pursed his lips, his eyes were already crescent-shaped with laughter.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong, it's just that... Miss Meng from Chenwang's Mansion is gone, so..."

Before Hua Yankang finished speaking, Mu Xuanyi said in shock: "What? Zihan disappeared?"

Seeing Mu Xuanyi's reaction, Hua Yankang was even more puzzled: How could the emperor know that Meng girl?And what is their origin, why is the emperor so caring?
Mu Xuanyi asked Mu Xuanchen: "Second brother, didn't you tell Zihan? Or did you tell her before she left?"

After hearing Mu Xuanyi's last words, Mu Xuanchen's heart was shocked: Could it be that he thought she might disagree?But his face remained calm.

"Brother Huang, after I returned to the mansion, I found that Zihan was missing, so I haven't informed you yet."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Chendi..." Mu Xuanchen suddenly thought of the situation that night, but instead said, "I don't know!"

"My lord... What on earth are you going to say to Zihan?" An Lingfei was puzzled.

Mu Xuanchen looked at Mu Xuanyi and didn't answer An Lingfei's question.

Mu Xuanyi immediately asked, "Have you searched everywhere?"

Hua Yankang replied: "I searched for it all day yesterday, but I didn't find it."

"Zihan has no relatives here, so where can he go? And he can't run very far in a day. If he went out for fun, he should have gone back yesterday." Mu Xuanyi said to himself for a while, but suddenly Looking at Hua Yankang, he asked, "How did General Hua know Zihan?"

Hua Yankang immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, it was yesterday that I wanted to go to His Royal Highness Chen Wang to attend the younger sister's birthday banquet. Who knows that I ran into Miss Meng on the way. Although Miss Meng was deliberately avoiding someone at that time, but because of the relationship with Meng at that time The girl didn't know each other, so I didn't ask to bring it back."

Mu Xuanyi nodded and asked Mu Xuanchen: "Do you want me to send more people to help my second brother find someone?"

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your kindness, I appreciate it."

Mu Xuanchen did not accept Mu Xuanyi's help, which puzzled Hua Yankang and An Lingfei who were on the side, they looked at each other and speculated.

at the market

Seeing the mighty officers and soldiers searching for people everywhere, the common people thought they were looking for important criminals, but they had never seen such a lineup before, so they talked a lot.

"It's already the third day. If you can't find it, there are only two possibilities." Ye Feng said.

"What's possible?" Mu Xuanchen was obviously extremely anxious.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Feng said: "Either we should go far away, or... more bad luck than good luck."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xuanchen immediately said: "Quick! Send someone to look for it outside the city, and dig three feet into the ground to find it for me."

Mu Xuanchen, Ye Feng, An Lingfei, and Hua Yankang were divided into four groups, and each took a portrait and searched outwards from the market.

The common people could avoid it when they saw the portrait, and immediately shook their heads and left when they saw the portrait, fearing that if the man was a criminal wanted by the court, if he exposed his whereabouts, what should his followers do if he came to seek revenge.

Hua Yankang saw that he had searched for a long time but found nothing, so he turned back and stood in the center of the market thoughtfully, looking around.After looking at the cloth stall where I first met Meng Zihan, I walked over slowly.

"Miss Boss! Have you ever seen the woman in the painting?" Hua Yankang asked.

The proprietress of the cloth stall glanced at the portrait and replied, "No!"

"No?" Hua Yankang stared at the proprietress with winking eyes, and said pitifully, "But last time I and the woman in this painting appeared here, didn't the proprietress also see it later?"

"This..." The proprietress knew she was wrong, so she hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Hey! Poor my sweetheart, I don't know where she is suffering now. If something happens to her, I won't live anymore!" Hua Yankang lied as if it were true, and Lihua almost burst into tears.

When the proprietress heard that his sweetheart was lost, she immediately pointed out the direction Meng Zihan was walking at that time. After Hua Yankang left, she couldn't help wiping away tears.

Looking at Hua Yankang's back, the proprietress wiped away her tears and said: "What an infatuated man, if anyone can treat me like this, I will die willingly."

Hua Yankang couldn't help laughing while walking, it seems that his deceiving skills can be used on anyone, from 99 to just walking, they will all be defeated by him.But fortunately, my appearance in armor is completely different from the current attire, otherwise I would definitely be recognized, and this scene would not be able to be sung.

I searched all the way, and used the lies just now to find the booth selling rouge, gouache and jewelry. The peddler looked at Hua Yankang suspiciously after seeing the person in the portrait.

Upon seeing this, Hua Yankang immediately asked: "Boss knows the person in the painting?"

The peddler asked: "Why did you want to find this girl?"

Seeing his expression, Hua Yankang thought that he must know the whereabouts of Meng Zihan, so he began to look at the peddler pitifully and sighed tearfully: "Hey... it's really hard to describe! Does the boss know who the person in the painting is?"

"Could it be the imperial court's invasion?" The peddler asked with his eyes wide open.

"How could it be the imperial court's infringement? She is my wife who has never been married." Hua Yankang's lie was blushing and out of breath, "It's all my fault. It was a misunderstanding but she didn't explain it to her. She thought I was wrong." Without her in my heart, I ran away from home in a fit of anger."

Seeing that the peddler still had doubts, Hua Yankang said "seriously": "Boss, look, my wife who has never been married looks so beautiful, if she is robbed by some thief..."

Hua Yankang looked so anxious that the peddler couldn't bear to see him, so he said, "Young master, why don't you go to Guose Tianxiang Building."

"What?" Hua Yankang looked at the peddler in disbelief and said, "Now that my wife who has never been married is alive or dead, why does the boss want me to go to the place of fireworks?"

The peddler hastily explained: "I didn't mean that, sir, don't get me wrong. It's because the Mu Fengniang I saw a few days ago chatted with your unmarried wife. It seems that Mu Fengniang has taken a fancy to her, so... "

"Thank you!" Hua Yankang immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the peddler shouted from behind: "Are you General Hua?"

"The boss admitted the wrong person!" After speaking, he rushed to Guoxiang Building.

The peddler rubbed his head and said to himself: "Did I admit it wrong? I have always had good eyesight, how could I misidentify someone?"

Mu Xuanchen searched all the way, and the people on the road said that they had never seen Meng Zihan, and his two handsome eyebrows never relaxed at all.

Think back, where can you go in a short time?From the moment they knew she was gone, the city gate had already been ordered: Anyone who sees the person in the painting must report back in time.So she can't go far.

When Mu Xuanchen thought of this, he immediately turned around and looked back.Regardless of the status of the prince, he took the portrait and asked people everywhere.

When asked about the cloth stall, the proprietress looked at the portrait and asked, "Why are you looking for someone else's sweetheart?"

"Another's... sweetheart?" Mu Xuanchen frowned.

The proprietress told Mu Xuanchen what happened just now, Mu Xuanchen was a little confused, and had never heard Meng Zihan say that he had a sweetheart, if so, why would he live in Chenwang's mansion before?
I searched all the way according to the route given by the proprietress, and when I came to the booth selling rouge and gouache, the peddler muttered: "Why are you looking for this girl?"

Mu Xuanchen immediately turned around and asked, "Do you know the person in this painting?"

"Isn't it General Hua's unmarried wife?" the peddler replied.

"What? Who told you that she is General Hua's unmarried wife?" Mu Xuanchen glared at him fiercely, and the peddler was almost incoherent in fright.

"General Hua said it himself, no, he said he is not General Hua, it should be said by the son who looks like General Hua."

Mu Xuanchen didn't want to waste time entangled with him: "Where has he gone now?"

"Him? Did you say that young man who looks like General Hua?" the peddler asked.

"Say it!" Mu Xuanchen roared angrily.

The peddler was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground, and replied tremblingly, "Maybe... Maybe he went to Guose Tianxiang Building!"

"National Beauty and Tianxiang Building?" Mu Xuanchen immediately rushed to the Guose Tianxiang Building with a group of elite soldiers.

Along the way, Mu Xuanchen felt uneasy. He didn't understand why Meng Zihan went to Guose Tianxiang Building, and he didn't understand why Hua Yankang said that Meng Zihan was his sweetheart and his unmarried wife.What is the purpose of being so outspoken?

"Mu Fengniang! Mu Fengniang!" Zhang Qi ran into the Guose Tianxiang Building in a panic and started shouting.

Now is Weishi, there are no guests, Mu Fengniang put her hands on her hips when she saw Zhang Qi and said, "Good Zhang Qi, you finally showed up? My old lady is looking for you!"

"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Zhang Qi questioned.

"What's the matter? Who the hell did you find for me? Even the government has been dispatched, and her portrait is posted everywhere. Do you want to harm me?" Mu Fengniang looked as if she was going to eat Zhang Qi .

Zhang Qi hurriedly explained: "So you know, I was just about to tell you about this matter, and I didn't know she was so big, not to mention, it was you who first took a fancy to her, so I will find a way to help you. Come on, why are you blaming me instead?"

"Then you should find out about her wealth before you bring her here." Mu Fengniang calmed down.

"I still have to find out. She is about to leave the city. If she doesn't act, it will be too late." Zhang Qi looked aggrieved.

"Then what should we do now? The delicious Xiangwowo has now become a hot potato."

"Then you can't rely on me."

The two shirked responsibility from each other, but there was no result.

At this moment, Meng Zihan heard their quarrel from the room, squinted his eyes and leaned on the railing of the aisle and said, "Don't quarrel, I'm very hungry now, go get me something to eat."

Meng Zihan has only come here for the third day and he regards this place as his own home, and he has been calling on Mu Fengniang to do things for her, because she is determined that Mu Fengniang will not do anything to her now that Mu Fengniang has taken a fancy to her. It can be regarded as venting anger for himself.The boring three days really felt like years.

Although this is a brothel and Mu Fengniang is a bustard, she can tell that although Mu Fengniang is neither a gentleman nor a villain, even if she is captured by some means, she has never abused her. On the contrary He kept giving her good food and drink.

And the oiran here is only dedicated to the high officials of the dynasty. Once dedicated to a certain high official, there is no need to sacrifice for three months. If the official does not come to marry after three months, then the oiran will set another goal. That's why Mu Fengniang's Guose Tianxiang Building is so prosperous in business, because it is under the care of the officials of the current dynasty.

"Got it!" Mu Fengniang looked at Meng Zihan and her face darkened.

Meng Zihan added: "Hurry up!" After speaking, he went back to his room to freshen up.

"This time it's really a steal." Mu Fengniang was about to order someone to prepare lunch for Meng Zihan, when Zhang Qi rolled his eyes and said quietly: "Wait a minute, it's easy to not waste your time, Dedicating her to the high officials in the court is enough."

"It's easy to say, will the high officials of the court come to our Guose Tianxiang Building every day? Do you think they are all like you, so free? Even if they come, the girl will definitely refuse, maybe she won't be able to wait for someone to solve the trouble, But someone came to arrest the old lady and go to jail, and then you don't even think about getting out, even if the old lady dies, she will be arrested." Zhang Qi's suggestion was not only rejected by Mu Fengniang, but also scolded.

Zhang Qi was full of ghost ideas, and said calmly: "Listen to me, come on!" Whispering a few words in Mu Fengniang's ear.

After hearing this, Mu Fengniang asked doubtfully, "Is this possible?"

Zhang Qi replied: "If you don't try, how will you know? If this trick doesn't work, I have another trick."

Mu Fengniang nodded dubiously.

Meng Zihan had just finished washing up when Mu Fengniang came in with the girl, smiling triumphantly.Meng Zihan was already used to it, so he ignored it, sat on a chair and waited to enjoy the food.

The little girl gently brought the dishes to Meng Zihan one by one, the aroma was so strong that it made people salivate, and couldn't help swallowing.

Mu Fengniang helped Meng Zihan pour a full glass of wine with a smile on the side and said, "I don't know what the girl's background is, how could she alarm the government?"

Although Meng Zihan was a little surprised at first that his disappearance would alert the government to search for him, but after a while, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.Smiling and pretending to be ignorant: "Really? Did you alert the government? I am a little girl who is not well-known, so don't make fun of me." Looking at the wine Mu Fengniang poured for her, she continued: "I'm sorry, I don't drink."

"It's okay to drink a little. Now that the girl is about to leave the Setianxiang Building in our country, how about treating it as parting wine?" Mu Fengniang continued to persuade.

"No, no, no, I'm a little dizzy after drinking two cups, and something serious will happen after three cups." Meng Zihan was so happy that he even revealed his weakness.

"Is the girl so disrespectful? You have been here for three days, and I, Mu Fengniang, entertained you deliciously and well. I have never made you feel wronged. Why don't you even drink the parting wine?" Not happy, but after looking at the dishes, he said with a smile, "How about having two cups instead of the third cup?"

It sounded like a negotiating tone, but Meng Zihan knew in his heart that if he didn't drink these two glasses of wine, this Mu Fengniang would not let her go, and she might have killed the officers and soldiers before they came.

"You said it! Don't go back on your word!" Seeing Mu Fengniang smiling and nodding, Meng Zihan frowned and drank the two cups in one gulp.

The wine was so strong that Meng Zihan stuck out his tongue, picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, Meng Zihan asked in surprise, "Why is there such a strong smell of wine?"

But Mu Fengniang replied: "This is the most famous dish of our Guose Tianxiang Restaurant, the top-notch drunk duck! Most people can't afford it. Today I brought it to the girl to express my apology. How about it? Doesn't it taste good? Girl! Girl!"

At this time, Meng Zihan was so drunk that he couldn't hear what Mu Fengniang was saying, and she ate up the dishes on the table.Mu Fengniang didn't expect to make her unconscious without using the second trick, and if it wasn't for the situation, she would not want to use this trick.

Mu Fengniang helped Meng Zihan to lie on the bed, but she suddenly got up and hugged Mu Fengniang and wanted to kiss her. This sudden reaction startled Mu Fengniang. If it is so uncharacteristically, things will be easier to handle later.

With difficulty, he pushed Meng Zihan onto the bed, and then quickly escaped by himself.Unexpectedly, she, Mu Fengniang, had people and things that frightened her.

As soon as she arrived downstairs, Mu Fengniang saw Hua Yankang.Mu Fengniang, like a falcon, recognized the famous General Hua at a glance.

"Hey! Isn't this General Hua? What kind of wind brought you here?" After looking at the two people behind him, Mu Fengniang lowered her voice slightly, "Unexpectedly, General Hua brought someone to hold you here My field? It can make our national beauty and fragrance building flourish!" He said, but he didn't forget to put his hand on Mu Fengniang's shoulder.

Hua Yankang turned around cleverly, avoiding Mu Fengniang's jade arm.Sexy eyebrows raised, and a charming smile: "Who doesn't know that there are so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in your country, and it would be my honor if I, a little general, can make you flourish. "

The clever Mu Fengniang has already heard the meaning of Hua Yankang's words, but there is still a smile on her face: "You are the famous General Hua, you are much older than ordinary officials, how can you be a little general? You are too modest."

Hua Yankang just smiled slightly, he had heard too many sycophantic scenes, he just took out the portrait and said: "Mu Fengniang should hurry up and hand her over."

Mu Fengniang looked at the portrait and replied: "I didn't catch her again, why is it called 'handover', General Hua just took her away, but you have been busy all day, you should go upstairs to rest first After a while, the girl you are looking for is inside."

Hua Yankang looked at Mu Fengniang, wondering what the hell she was doing, if she handed over someone like this, wouldn't she be afraid of arresting her?Seeing her attentive appearance, Hua Yankang was even more suspicious of fraud, so he walked upstairs hesitantly step by step.

Mu Xuanchen also rushed to Guose Tianxiang Building with a group of people.Mu Fengniang looked back and found that he was completely different from Hua Yankang's unruly. Mu Xuanchen's face was serious and majestic, and his whole body exuded a majestic aura that shocked the world, making people dare not approach easily, dare not Panting heavily, the air seemed to be condensed in an instant.

Mu Fengniang had inquired about the officials of the court one by one, and knew that the king was not easy to get close to, and when she looked at Hua Yankang who had just gone upstairs, she was in a dilemma, but she had to entertain the distinguished guests.So Mu Fengniang adjusted her expression, and greeted her with a smile.

"My lord! Why are you here!" The same powdery hand put on Mu Xuanchen's shoulder.Unexpectedly, Mu Xuanchen didn't move his body, and with a shift of his right hand, he separated Mu Fengniang's hand by a foot, with a look of disgust on his face.Mu Fengniang could only laugh a few times in embarrassment.

Ye Feng walked up to Mu Fengniang knowingly, unfolded the portrait and said, "Hand over the man."

"This..." Mu Fengniang's heart was already hanging in the air, and she cried out secretly: Who did I provoke?If the prince had come earlier, he wouldn't have let Hua Yankang go upstairs.

Before Mu Fengniang could answer, Mu Xuanchen had already looked around, saw Hua Yankang at the door, guessed that Meng Zihan must be in the room, immediately ordered Ye Feng and others to stay where they were, and walked upstairs quickly.

Just when Hua Yankang was about to push the door and enter, a sound of "General Hua!" stopped Hua Yankang's original movements.

"Prince Chen?" Hua Yankang didn't expect Mu Xuanchen to follow up, "I didn't expect His Highness Prince Chen to find Guose Tianxiang Tower."
