A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Chu Xingluo's eyes never left Xia Taoyuan, whose attention was all on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. When she noticed it, she blushed, brushed her hands, and pretended to be calm and said, "What's so good about it? Have you never seen other people eat?"

Chu Xingluo smiled slightly: "I haven't seen it much."

This stunned Xia Taoyuan. Hasn't he seen such an ordinary thing before?

"No way, you don't see other people eating very often, are you kidding me?"

"Since I left the palace and set up my own residence at the age of twelve, I have been eating alone. Occasionally, my father would summon me to the palace to have a meal with him, and I seldom attended palace banquets." As soon as Chu Xingluo finished speaking, Xia Taoyuan felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and then felt a little distressed.

She had heard from Wei Jinghe that Prince Jing lost his mother when he was young. She thought that his arrogant and cold personality was also because he lost his mother when he was young. His father was the emperor, unlike the fathers of ordinary families who could accompany their children at any time. Thinking of this, Xia Taoyuan felt a sense of sympathy. She lost her parents when she was young, but fortunately her grandparents gave her endless care and love, so she never felt lonely.

"If you want to watch people eat in the future, come to me and I will eat in front of you." Xia Taoyuan said with his head raised.

Maybe it was just a casual remark to Xia Taoyuan, but this sentence was like a cluster of flower seedlings that exploded in Chu Xingluo's heart, warm and gorgeous, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"I will be busy these days and may not come to see you often." Chu Xingluo spoke slowly.

"It's okay, just go about your business." Xia Taoyuan actually felt a little disappointed, but he tried to sound relaxed.

Seeing her like this, Chu Xingluo said softly: "I will try to come once a day. If I am really busy during the day, I will come at night." After saying that, he looked into her eyes.

Seeing the tenderness in his eyes, Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but blush, her heart pounding, and asked, "Are you working too hard?"

Before Chu Xingluo could answer, Qingyun's voice came in, "It's not hard. Your Highness doesn't feel tired at all to come to see Miss Wei."

Then the maids started laughing. Xia Taoyuan curled her lips. What kind of people were they? They were eavesdropping.

At this time, Long Yanqingyun and the maids came into the house one after another. Zhuer smiled and said, "Dai'er said she was sleepy, so she came back."

Chu Xingluo said goodbye to Long Yanqingyun after hearing this, and Xia Taoyuan also went upstairs. After washing up, he lay on the bed, feeling sweet in his heart. Then he thought about going to see that little bitch tomorrow to see how she was taught a lesson by Lu Qing'er's people, and by the way, exchange some change for Chang Chang'an Fugui Fushou.

Every time she went out, she spent lavishly. There wasn't much silver left from Madam Wei, and she didn't want to touch what Wei Zhiying didn't take. She counted it during the day, and there was only one ingot of fifty taels of silver and a few taels of silver left. She had to give at least twenty taels to Changsheng and the others, and there were several people. She had to find a way to make some money.

After breakfast the next day, Xia Taoyuan changed into men's clothes and left the house with Yu'er. The knot in his heart was untied, and Xia Taoyuan felt refreshed. When he got to the street, he remembered that Gu Xixi's residence was in the south of the city, and it would take half a day to walk there, so he hired a carriage and went straight to the south of the city.

Arriving at Gu Xixi's residence, they saw the door was closed. There was something messy thrown on the door, it was dirty, and there was a foul smell when they approached. Xia Taoyuan covered her nose and walked away, holding a woman who came out to pour water and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know the owner of this house?"

The eldest sister-in-law hurriedly said, "Hey, little brother, don't get involved with this kind of person. This little bitch Gu Xixi always went out with a haughty attitude. Who doesn't know she is a little bitch? She was so bold that she kidnapped the daughter of the prime minister. Yesterday morning, a group of people came and smashed her room and poured feces on the door." The eldest sister-in-law became more and more excited, "Everyone living around here heard the little bitch screaming and begging for mercy."

Xia Taoyuan knew that it was Lu Qing'er's people who did it, so she asked again, "What happened next?" She wanted to go in and take a look, but the door was smelly and dirty, and she didn't want to touch it.

"Guess what happened next?" The eldest sister-in-law said mysteriously, "Not long after that group of people left, another group came. Some people guessed that they were people from the palace." The eldest sister-in-law looked around and lowered her voice.

Xia Taoyuan was stunned. Someone from the palace? Then she understood. It must be someone sent by the emperor to calm down the prime minister when he came to the palace yesterday to talk about breaking off the engagement.

"Yes, although he wasn't wearing palace clothes, Mr. Zhang, who sells tea next door, said that he had seen the man in front of him before. He was a eunuch in the palace." The eldest sister-in-law said again: "Why did this little bitch mess with the daughter of the prime minister when she could mess with anyone else?"

"What about Gu Xixi?" Xia Taoyuan asked the question in his mind.

"What can we do? She will definitely die." The eldest sister-in-law gestured as if she was beheaded. "When the people from the palace came out, two of them dragged something wrapped in a quilt. You can tell it was the little bitch. They just dragged her away. The leader even ordered the two to drag her to the mass grave."

Xia Taoyuan took out a tael of silver and handed it to his sister-in-law. The woman smiled and kept thanking him.
