Chapter 391
Soon after Xue Chengwen left, the real boss of Qiqing Pavilion came over and saw the man sitting in the room. The real boss's face full of smile immediately turned into a bitter one: "My lord, how come you are here?"
For G.o.d's sake, he doesn't want to get into trouble. But, he has no power to push away his lord.
The man raised his eyebrow and said with dissatisfaction: “You're not here, so this little lord helped you do your business, what? Can't I?"
Can he say yes?
The boss was simply crying.
“My lord, this little one cannot help you." When the boss saw the silver tickets on the table, he couldn't help but cry even more: "My lord, you accepted a business?"
For G.o.d's sake, please don't accept task he wasn't aware and offend people. He doesn't want to cause trouble.
“Yes, for one million, just regard it as this lord's reward for you." The man took the silver tickets on the table and readily throw it to the boss's hand. The silver tickets firmly landed to the boss's hand.
“One, one million? What kind of business is this?” The boss felt like his heart will burst.
One million, obviously it was not a simple task.
The a.s.sa.s.sins in their Shadow Moon Tower has been sent out recently. They were doing a task.
“It's just a simple task, this little lord will personally handle it." The man got up and patted his sleeves, then folded the lower part. Without waiting for the boss to ask him another question, he jumped outside from the window.
“Well, don't look this lord like a dead man, there are skilled masters, but there is nothing to worry about.” The man's voice came from the window, his proud tone can involuntarily convince people. But… …
The boss can't smile.
He was not afraid of his lord getting hurt, he is afraid of him to cause trouble!
“What the h.e.l.l with the Xue family? Why didn't they come sooner? Why come when this old man is busy. If my lord causes trouble, I will destroy the entire Xue Family." The boss was so angry, but when he saw the one million silver tickets on his hand, his facial expression slightly became better.
For the sake of these silvers, he will endure it!
Lingyun Courtyard, the place where the emperor made an arrangement for Princess Nannuo Yao to stay. It was only two quarters away from the main palace. It can be seen that the emperor valued the southern princess and her party.
Since Nannuo Yao arrived in the east, she lived in the Lingyun Courtyard. Even when she insulted Lin Chujiu and was sent back to the palace by Xiao Tianyao, she stayed in the Linyuan Courtyard because the emperor sent her.
It's not that the emperor doesn't want to punish Nannuo Yao, but punis.h.i.+ng Nannuo Yao is meaningless. She insulted an imperial princess of the east, it is necessary for her to apologize. After all, Nannuo Yao also represents the royal family of the south.
But of course, even if the emperor sent Nannuo Yao back to Lingyun Courtyard, it doesn't mean she was completely out of guilt. The emperor restricted her freedom. She was not allowed to leave the Lingyun Courtyard. She can only leave under special circ.u.mstances and when the emperor agreed.
When Nannuo Yao has been locked up in her courtyard, she was very angry. But she made a mistake first and this was the east territory. So, she didn't dare to mess around further. She can only let her people do simple tricks in private.
Nannuo Yao can't leave Lingyun Courtyard, but it doesn't mean that she was unaware about the events outside. When she came to the east, she brought a lot of talented people. These people didn't come inside the palace. So, the news outside can still reach her.
When Lin Chujiu was imprisoned in the palace prison, and when Princess Fushou Zhang was defiled, Nannuo Yao knew them all.
Although Lin Chujiu was released after being imprisoned for a day, Nannuo Yao was very dissatisfied. She can see the att.i.tude of the imperial family to Lin Chujiu. She knew that once Xiao Tianyao's left, Lin Chujiu's life in the capital will not be good.
Nannuo Yao was listening to the report how Lin Chujiu came back from the palace when suddenly, her maidservant came rus.h.i.+ng: "Princess."
The maidservant was so anxious, but she didn't dare to open her mouth. She just looked at the other people inside. Nannuo Yao immediately sent the other people away and asked with a cold face: "What?"
This maidservant was Nannuo Yao's personal maid before, but she was originally Nannuo Li's people. Before, her fifth brother words were very convincing, so she treated his people with courtesy, but… …
Ever since she heard Imperial Concubine Zhou's words, and she has given it a thought. Her heartfelt doubt and she became unhappy with the people he arranged and sent for her.
“Princess, you have a letter.” The maidservant was not affected by Nannuo Yao's att.i.tude. She still handed the letter.
“A letter? Fifth brother can still send a letter to me?" Nannuo Yao knows a bit about the southern hidden village. Nannuo Li revealed a bit of information about it to show that in the end, they were brother and sister.
The maidservant didn't speak, she only kept silent to the side. Seeing the maidservant like this, Nannuo Yao was disgusted. She felt like she was being humiliated. This small slave dared to act big, the other party really doesn't put her in his eyes.
When a person like you, he will try to please you to everything he does. However, not only this other party made an unreasonable move but also doesn't give an explanation. Similarly, when you hate a person, no matter what he does, you will feel like everything he does has an ulterior motive.
Nannuo Yao feels that way to her fifth brother now. She was sure that he is only using her.
Nannuo Yao opened the letter and looked at it nonchalantly. When she saw the content above, her face drastically changed. Her hands holding the letter also tighten a bit. She pressed the anger in her heart and said: "Who sent the letter?"
“This slave doesn't know.” The maidservant bowed her head and maintained respectful.
“Hmph… you don't know, but you dared to give me this letter?" Nannuo Yao didn't believe it at all. The maidservant was not scared. She said in a low voice: "Princess, the letter was sealed with Fifth Prince's special emblem. When this slave has seen it, she dared to give it to you." In short, she wanted to say that she doesn't know the content of the letter.
Nannuo Yao indeed found a unique emblem, but her face became even more and more ugly.
Although this letter was not written by her fifth brother, it can also be considered as his own words.
Thinking about the threat in the letter, Nannuo Yao knew that she had no other choice. Although her status was much higher than women in the east, she doesn't have the chance to become an empress. She and her mother has been seeking asylum to her fifth brother. If she doesn't listen to his instruction, their relations.h.i.+p might fall apart. She was also afraid that Nannuo Li might fail to go back to the south.
If she died in the east, everything will be meaningless even if her imperial father favored her.
Nannuo Yao knew that she only need to listen to the orders. She tightly clenched the letter and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and said: "Go and give me a bowl of Cui jing medicine. Double the dosage."
The cui jing medicine is usually used by women who haven't got their menstruation for a long period of time. In the Southern Harem, there were many concubines given with this in order to conceive a child.
Nannuo Yao's menstruation didn't come even when she turned 15 years old. At that time, the doctor gave her this medicine. So far, even until now, she still remembers the pain she experienced when she drunk this medicine.
If she can, Nannuo Yao doesn't want to drink that thing ever again, but now… …
She has no choice!
