"master?"
"master!!"
Hearing the sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the house, several assassins called out several times but received no response. They saw Prince Bao lying motionless on the ground, his life or death unknown.
"My Lord, my Lord has fainted..."
They reached out to help in panic, and their hands were covered with sweat, just like people who had just been pulled out of the water.
One person carefully tested the temperature of Prince Bao's forehead. The expression on his face changed instantly and finally froze in fear.
-
At the end of July, the guards at the city gate came to report that Prince Bao had entered the capital.
No disguise, no tricks. He had obviously spent a lot of effort to escape from the capital, and had been hiding for so long, but he suddenly gave up struggling and offered himself to me.
Nian Tu was very surprised when he heard the news, "...What happened to him?"
Such a sudden surrender is not like Prince Bao's character.
"Because he is sick, very sick." Zong Shouyuan went to the city gate in person to hand over matters to the guards. Recalling the ugly and skinny appearance of Prince Bao that he caught a glimpse of, he couldn't help but frowned.
sick?
Nian Tu nodded. This made sense. "What's his illness?"
"I don't know, and it doesn't matter," Tan Konglin said calmly, "He returned to the capital because he was terminally ill and hoped to save his life. But why should I send an imperial physician to treat a criminal?"
Life or death is no longer of concern to him. Whatever the outcome, it is all Prince Bao's own fault.
He had already fulfilled his brotherly duty by not killing him, and had now thrown the man into the Siheng Mountain Palace to fend for himself.
Nian Tu stroked his partner's hair soothingly and did not object.
She was just asking casually and didn't really care about the enemy's physical condition.
Those who have done many evil things will get their comeuppance and do not need her sympathy.
This matter was just a minor incident, and Nian Tu soon forgot about it. She only stopped by Anyuan Marquis's residence the next time she left the palace to inform Anyuan Marquis's son that the wanted order could be removed from the next issue of the newspaper.
Without Nian Tu's reminder, the Prince of Anyuan also heard the news that Prince Bao had taken the initiative to return to the capital.
He was very proud of himself and attributed this to the power of the newspaper wanted notice. He praised Nian Tu crazily and also secretly praised himself in his heart.
"Mr. Nian, I'd like to invite you to the restaurant for a drink!" He leaned forward and invited in a pretentious tone.
He did his job well and received a reward. Although he had never lacked money since he was a child, the money he earned was still very different. He treasured the silver ingot in his arms and planned to treat Nian Tu to a banquet.
Seeing him looking so proud, Nian Tu secretly found it funny and did not refuse his invitation.
The two of them first met at the Zong Family Restaurant opposite the glass shop, and it was here that they resolved their differences and reached a cooperation intention. When the Anyuan Marquis wanted to treat guests, he would naturally not abandon this restaurant of great significance and choose another place.
It was still a private room on the top floor. The shopkeeper personally delivered dishes that suited our taste and also brought out a cold ice pot.
Nian Tu gently fanned herself, letting the wind blow through the half-open window, her eyes fixed on the glass shop opposite.
"The glass business is still booming after being open for so long." The prince of Anyuan Hou looked out along her line of sight. Seeing the bustling crowd, he tried to estimate the profit and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow... it's too profitable!"
"Master Nian, I have always been curious about a question and want to ask you..." He lowered his body and winked at Nian Tu mysteriously, "Is glass your business?"
He had no evidence, just a hunch.
All the mysterious things in this world seem to be related to Nian Tu...
Nian Tu didn't expect that he was quite perceptive. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, neither nodding nor denying.
This was considered as a tacit agreement by the Anyuan Marquis. He was so excited that his face turned red, and he rubbed his hands shyly, "I will never tell anyone! My Lord, my Lord... Can you sell me a glass ornament as tall as a person? I want to use it to celebrate my father's birthday!"
This one-person-high ornament was the only one in the entire capital, except for the tribute from the palace. If his father got it, how proud he would be! His father would definitely never chase him around with a stick and call him a bastard who betrayed his father!
The Prince of Anyuan had long had the idea of giving his father a big gift.
However, he had been negotiating with the shopkeeper for several years, but the other party kept telling him that there was no stock and the product could not be made.
"Please, just name your price!"
A grown man, with his hands clasped together and his eyes begging, looked pitiful.
If the male in the family acted like this, Nian Tu would find it cute, but if it was the son of Marquis Anyuan who did it, she would get goosebumps all over the floor and find it unpleasant to the eyes.
"...The prince is so filial, it's really touching." She turned her head away and smiled softly, "Ask again in two months, maybe a miracle will happen."
As for the price, she wouldn't offer too high, so she could give him a surprise friendship price.
Anyway, she is not short of money now...
"Sir, where did all the money you earned go?" The Prince of Anyuan became so excited that he couldn't hold back his curiosity or control his mouth, and dared to ask any questions.
Although Nian Tu's food, clothing and daily necessities were all exquisite, they were all prepared by the palace. Nian Tu himself did not seem to have any hobbies and was not as extravagant as other wealthy people.
"You just spent a lot of money on me," Nian Tu drank his iced drink leisurely, not getting angry at his overstepping questioning, "The Ministry of Industry also spent a lot on me..."
Gunpowder, farm tools, printing, cement... research and development, infrastructure construction, which one doesn't cost money?
She is also robbing the rich to help the poor, taking more wool from the rich and giving more to the general public.
"Then, the great philanthropist who donated supplies to the Fuyuan Army before, are you also you?" The Prince of Anyuan Marquis had a flash of inspiration and thought further.
Upon hearing the words "Master Nian", Nian Tu's expression froze and he clenched the round fan in his hand in embarrassment.
When she was surrounded by women at home, she sometimes felt like a master with three wives and four concubines. But when this title was really given to her, she only felt a shuddering shame.
Nian Tu hung his head and said nothing.
The Prince of Anyuan got the answer from her reaction.
His face showed admiration and shame, "I, I don't want rewards anymore."
Not to mention the reward money, he doesn't even need the wages! He is willing to work for Master Nian!
“No need.” Seeing his agitated emotions, Nian Tu waved his hands helplessly. “Everything is on track now. It’s nothing serious. I don’t have much to spend money on.”
She preferred to distinguish between rewards and punishments clearly, so she would not deduct even his wages and bonuses.
Hearing her say this, Anyuan Hou Shizi shrank back into his seat and nodded honestly. Suddenly, he remembered something and frowned, "Big thing..."
"My father said that things in the south seem to be a little bit uneasy lately..."
