Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Chapter 23 The Master Seems to Be Short of Money

After dinner, it was already late, Xuanyuan Che simply washed up and went to bed.

Mei Susu has always been self-satisfied. As soon as Xuanyuan Che got on the couch, she jumped on it and then lay on his legs without giving him any chance to object.

Afraid that Xuanyuan Che would forcibly carry her down, Mei Susu began to use her skills in acting like a spoiled child.

Curled up on Xuanyuan Che's legs, she stretched out her claws and hooked her claws on his clothes lightly as if unintentionally. Then she yawned softly and sleepily, revealing her sharp canine teeth. As if she was really sleepy, she tilted her little head and slowly closed her eyes.

Her eyes were closed, but she was not really asleep. Her little ears were perked up, listening to Xuanyuan Che's movements.

The strange thing is that Mei Susu closed her eyes for a while, but Xuanyuan Che didn't move.

Mei Susu was puzzled. Could it be that this person had fallen asleep?

She wanted to secretly open her eyes to confirm, but she was afraid that Xuanyuan Che was not asleep and would be caught if she opened her eyes.

But if he didn't sleep, Mei Susu didn't dare to close her eyes, for fear of being put back into the nest.

Koi said that he wanted to get closer to Xuanyuan Che, so he had to be close to him. The life energy he absorbed would definitely be different if he was close or far away.

She must seize such a good opportunity to sleep and cuddle.

After struggling for a long time, Mei Susu couldn't help but quietly opened her eyes a little.

When she saw the scene clearly, her half-closed eyes slowly opened.

Xuanyuan Che had fallen asleep with his back leaning on the cushion beside the couch. His breathing was even, his eyelashes trembling occasionally, his profile was handsome, and a few strands of black hair clinging playfully to his face.

The dark red brocade robe was a little loose, and at this moment the collar was half open, revealing Xuanyuan Che's slender neck and delicate collarbone, and below was his half-covered sturdy chest.

Mei Susu stared blankly, then swallowed unconsciously.

It’s not that she is lustful, but how many people in the world can resist such beauty?

Unfortunately, she could only feast her eyes on such a beauty, and she couldn't wake anyone up right now.

Mei Susu tiptoed down from Xuanyuan Che's body, then walked to his side step by step with a cat-like step, found a comfortable position, and lay down.

Before closing her eyes again, Mei Susu looked up at Xuanyuan Che above her head. Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, she closed her eyes with relief.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Xuanyuan Che opened his eyes and looked at Mei Susu who was curled up beside him with a darker look in his eyes.

After looking for an unknown amount of time, Xuanyuan Che withdrew his gaze, gently opened the curtain, and got off the bed.

Outside the tent, Zhuifeng had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Xuanyuan Che came out, he immediately stepped forward and handed him a cloak.

"host....."

As soon as he uttered a word, Xuanyuan Che glanced at him coldly.

Zhuifeng subconsciously glanced at the curtain, then lowered his head and remained silent.

After leaving the hall and closing the door, Xuanyuan Che said, "Speak."

Zhuifeng then dared to speak: "My Lord, I have observed the Third Prince over the past few days and found that he is normal. It is just that I found this in his study."

Zhuifeng handed the thing over.

It was a jade plaque, a jade plaque without any words on it.

"I saw that this jade token was not an ordinary thing, so I brought it back for Your Highness to review."

Xuanyuan Che rubbed it a few times with his hands, then went to the study. When he arrived at the study, he ordered Zhuifeng to pour a basin of salt water.

Then he threw the jade token directly in.

Under Zhuifeng's puzzled gaze, words gradually appeared on the jade plate in the water.

Zhuifeng's eyes narrowed and he picked up the jade token from the water. However, strangely, the words on the token disappeared when it came out of water, but appeared when it went back into water.

"What a strange jade pendant." he exclaimed.

Xuanyuan Che looked at the jade token in the water with cold eyes: "This jade token is stained with a special potion, and the writing is hidden with a special technique."

"Ordinary water cannot make it visible, only salt water can. However, this secret method is a secret that cannot be passed on. My good brother really impressed me."

Zhuifeng leaned over to look at the words on the jade token, and then asked, "Master, what secret technique is this? Why have I never heard of it? Look at the words on the jade token, it seems that the Third Prince has made some kind of deal with the other party."

Xuanyuan Che fished the jade token out of the water, wiped it clean and placed it on the table, and sneered, "Gujiang Secret Technique."

"Gujiang secret technique?" Zhuifeng's expression changed: "Didn't Gujiang first..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhuifeng suddenly realized something and immediately looked at Xuanyuan Che: "Master, please ask me to go and check it out."

Xuanyuan Che shook his head and said, "No need. A few insignificant little brats can't cause any trouble. Someone will take care of them. You have other things to do."

Zhui Feng clasped his fists and said, "I am at your service at any time."

Xuanyuan Che looked at the jade tablet on the table, and remembered the look in the little guy's eyes when he looked at the jade tablet at night. He said, "Go to Gujiang and bring back the warm jade that I have."

"I obey my orders."

"Oh, right." Xuanyuan Che suddenly remembered something and called him, "Bring back the box of gold and silver jewelry as well."

Zhuifeng was full of questions, but he still bowed and accepted the order, and left the study without asking any questions.

As soon as he left the study, Zhuifeng took a few steps and Zhuiying appeared from nowhere and walked side by side with him.

"Want to go to Gujiang?"

Zhuifeng was silent, then hummed.

After walking a few more steps, he looked at Zhuiying and asked, "What happened in the palace?"

Zhuiying was confused: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Zhuifeng hesitated for a moment before saying, "My master seems to be short of money."

Zhuiying almost staggered and looked at Zhuifeng as if he were a ghost: "What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? You said our master is short of money?"

"In this world, if you say anyone is short of money, I have no objection, but there is only one person who cannot be short of money, and that is the master."

Zhuifeng nodded in agreement when he heard this: "I also think it's unlikely, but since the master is not short of money, why would he ask me to travel thousands of miles to transport the jewels? Could it be that there is some big move that you and I are not aware of?"

"Jewelry?" Zhuiying stopped and asked uncertainly, "I asked you to go to Gujiang to transport jewels?"

Zhuifeng nodded.

"That's strange." Zhuiying stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Could it be that there is something you and I don't know?"

"The master's mind is always unpredictable. You and I just need to do our duty. I will go ahead and see you later."

Although Zhuifeng had doubts in his mind, he did not dwell on it too much. As subordinates, they would not have any complaints even if their master told them to die.

Before Zhuiying could reply, Zhuifeng had already disappeared from the spot. Zhuiying saw that he was leaving in a hurry, and his figure also disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Inside the study, Xuanyuan Che was playing with the jade token in his hand, his eyes were dark without a single ray of light.

Gujiang...Secret Technique...

Xuanyuan Jing was smarter than he thought, but he didn't know what conditions he offered to make the other party take the risk to pass on the message to him.

Xuanyuan Che stood up and walked towards the nearest calligraphy and painting, then twisted the vase next to the calligraphy and painting. A mechanism sounded, and the calligraphy and painting slowly embedded into the wall, then retracted upwards, revealing a secret compartment at the back.

Xuanyuan Che took out a fist-sized bottle from the secret compartment, turned his hand over, and a small golden insect appeared in his palm.

Xuanyuan Che placed it on the jade plate. The little golden insect, which had been motionless, vibrated its wings the moment it touched the jade plate, making a buzzing sound and flew into the air.

"Go."

The little golden bug seemed to understand Xuanyuan Che's words. After he said "go ahead", it flapped its wings and flew away from the window.
