Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 225 Visiting the Prefect’s Mansion (1)

The eunuch stabilized his emotions, arranged his clothes, and walked towards the gate of the mansion with his counselor and a few servants.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, the moment he saw Yun Chen standing alone outside the gate, the gleam in his eyes became deeper and deeper, he arched his hands, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said: "Master Prime Minister suddenly came to this mansion, the next official!" I am terrified, it is the lower officials who have lost their way, and I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."

Yun Chen smiled calmly and said: "Prefect Zhao, I came to Luocheng by the emperor's order. Your Majesty heard that Luocheng has not been peaceful recently, and people have disappeared from time to time. You also know that Luocheng is an important city near the frontier. His Majesty naturally attaches more importance to the city."

While talking, Yun Chen raised his sleeves, signaling to Governor Zhao not to be too polite.

Eunuch Zhao hurriedly walked towards the mansion to meet him, and said: "Your Excellency, this way please, let's sit down and discuss in detail."

Yun Chen nodded in agreement, followed Zhao Taishou to lead him to the front hall, and sat in the upper seat.

A servant served tea, Zhao Taishou hurriedly served the tea himself, handed it to Yun Chen, and said: "Please, Prime Minister."

Yun Chen took the teacup, took a sip, and began to speak: "The former Japanese official sent someone to arrive in Los Angeles first, but they encountered a local bully bullying women from good families, did Governor Zhao hear about it?"

Eunuch Zhao frowned, pretending to be confused, and said: "There is such a thing, why didn't the officers and soldiers on patrol come to report to the officer?"

Yun Chen curled his lips into a cold smile, put down the teacup, and his face was condensed: "That being the case, let me not pursue this matter for the time being, but talk about the missing persons. I don't understand why six or seven girls disappeared , you haven't started to investigate this case?"

Eunuch Zhao rolled his eyes a few times, frowned in embarrassment, and said, "Your Excellency, no one has come to report this case of missing persons, so how can the lower officials investigate?"

Yun Chen smiled coldly, and squinted at him: "What about the Zheng family's affairs? Could it be that the prefect also said he didn't know?"

Yun Chen's tone was serious, and the prefect Zhao was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees and said in panic, "Master Prime Minister, I really don't understand what you mean by that?"

Yun Chen looked at him coldly, and said: "You think you can hide this kind of thing? Mr. Zheng is your cousin, isn't he?"

"Prime Minister, it is really unfair to be dismissed from office!" Zhao Taishou had a bitter face, and couldn't find a suitable excuse to defend himself for a long time.

Yun Chen's face suddenly became relaxed, and he smiled lightly, and said: "Get up! You don't have to be so panicky. I'm just asking casually. In fact, I have to obey His Majesty's orders. Prefect, what do you say? no?"

Eunuch Zhao secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, heaved a sigh of relief, stood up slowly, with a smile on his face again, and cautiously said: "Your Excellency said so."

Yun Chen laughed heartily, stood up with his hands behind his back, walked out like a leisurely stroll, and said as he walked: "I heard that your prefect's mansion is quite magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars, flying eaves and walls, and flowers blooming all the year round. Since the official is here, you should appreciate it carefully, and stay in your house for a few days, and then go back to see His Majesty on business."

Zhao Taishou carefully savored the deep meaning in Yun Chen's words, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly followed, and said with a smile as he walked: "Master Prime Minister is a person of elegance, and I feel kind when I see it. Since Prime Minister Your Excellency wants to stay here, you can turn around first, and the next official will arrange for someone to prepare a guest room for you, so that you will be satisfied with the Prime Minister."

Yun Chen nodded slightly, and raised his sleeves: "Go and make arrangements! I just want to go for a walk alone."

"I will leave." Zhao Taishou bowed, took a few steps back slowly, turned around and quickly made arrangements.

Feeling that Zhao Taishou had gone far away, Yun Chen stopped in his tracks, looked at his back and sneered, thinking: "If you pretend to be smart, you will eventually suffer the consequences."

"Really?" Just as Yun Chen finished speaking, a soft and pleasant female voice suddenly fell from the top of her head.

With a "thud" in his heart, Yun Chen's expression changed, and he was about to leave.

On the gazebo opposite, Yan Ji covered her mouth and giggled, then her figure quickly turned into a streamer, and in the blink of an eye, she turned around and blocked Yun Chen's path.

Yun Chen stepped back vigilantly, frowned and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

Yan Ji twisted her waist and approached him, giggling and said, "Yunchen, are you really confused or just pretending? I've actually been following you all along, but I just didn't show up."

Yun Chen's eyes sank, and he said: "I advise you to leave here, if you continue to entangle, once you meet those celestial masters who are jealous of evil, you will die without a doubt."

"I've never been afraid of a celestial master with a high level of cultivation like Xia Ningxi. Do you think I'm afraid of those celestial masters with a shallow cultivation level?"

Yan Ji sneered and tilted her head: "Also, you don't have to be so afraid of me. I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do. I know that you always avoid me. If I continue to stalk you, it's meaningless. In the future Well, I won't always pester you anymore, I'm waiting for the moment when you fall in love with me."

Yun Chen snorted disdainfully, and said, "I will never be tempted by a monster."

Twitching the corners of her mouth, Yan Ji lifted her skirt and sat down on the side, leaning against the porch pillar, fiddling with her fingers embarrassingly, and said, "I've actually seen it a long time ago, as for you, it's okay to be attracted to someone who shouldn't be tempted." Moved."

After a pause, she said earnestly, "Yunchen, don't be stupid, that woman only has His Royal Highness in her heart. To her, you are just an ordinary friend."

With a cold face, Yun Chen turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor, while walking, he said: "You don't need to say, I know it myself."

Yan Ji shook her head helplessly, sighed, leaned in the corridor and closed her eyes to rest.

As night fell, the prefect's mansion held a grand banquet. Prefect Zhao invited several local officials and local gentry to accompany the banquet. Yunchen sat at the main seat, drinking leisurely with a wine glass.

Those officials all put on a smiling face like a flower, presented the treasures in their hands, and brought them to Yun Chen, saying in a hurry: "Master Prime Minister, this is a rare South China Sea pearl in the world, please The Prime Minister accepts it with a smile."

Yun Chen looked at it with drooping eyelids, and remained silent.

Eunuch Zhao rolled his eyes and took it with a smile, saying: "I accept it for the Prime Minister."

Another official held a box and opened it, handed it over and said, "Master Prime Minister, this is a ruby ​​handball that I bought with a lot of money. It is a rare item. Give it to Mr. Prime Minister as a gift."

Yun Chen still didn't say a word, and it was still Zhao Taishou who helped him accept it.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people rushed to send the treasure to Yunchen, talking about the origin of the treasure in a noisy manner.

Yun Chen sat as steady as Mount Tai, drank quietly, and unknowingly, he became a little drunk.
