"Uh..." Zhou Chang said as he felt around his sleeves, only to find that he had changed his clothes today, and the three thousand taels of silver he had taken from Prince Duan the day before were not on him. "Go back home first, I'm sure you won't need them."

As they were talking, a blue carriage inlaid with gold passed by and stopped.

"The carriage really broke down? Do you want me to give you a ride?" Prince Duan leaned his head out of the window, looking like he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

"Thank you, but that's not necessary." Zhou Chang didn't even glance at him.

At this moment, another carriage followed behind the two men.

Prince Rong poked his head out and said, "Ninth brother, since the carriage is broken, why don't I take you there?"

Prince Rong's clean and gentle face was full of sincerity, and Zhou Chang agreed without hesitation: "Thank you, my brother."

The two of them talked without even looking at Prince Duan from beginning to end.

"Let's go." Prince Duan let go of the car curtain and snorted coldly, "Humph, you don't know what's good for you, you are really lowly..."

Zhou Chang didn't hear the last two words, but he could guess what Prince Duan was scolding.

With one sentence, he was scolding two people.

Prince Rong naturally heard it while in the carriage, but he remained gentle and calm, pretending not to hear it at all.

"Hiss..." Zhou Chang took a breath of cold air as soon as he got into Prince Rong's carriage.

Sitting in the corner near the door was a young man in his twenties, dressed in black and with a face as pale as a death.

"You've met my bodyguard Wu Feng before." Prince Rong was surprised by Zhou Chang's reaction. "He is not used to interacting with people. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

Prince Rong and Prince Yi are usually very low-key, and are usually accompanied by only one guard when they go out.

Prince Duan and Prince Xian were both very high-profile. Whenever they went out, they were always surrounded by a large crowd, with at least four personal guards and four additional followers.

Zhou Chang could not find any impression of him in Prince Yi Feng Ming's vague memory, which showed that Prince Yi did not take this person seriously in the past.

But this person's temperament is too special and difficult to describe.

When Zhou Chang sat down by his side, he could faintly smell a faint scent of medicine on him.

She didn't like the smell, so she turned around and called the skinny monkey: "Monkey, you come up too, you don't have to be in the front."

The skinny monkey originally planned to jump on the front of the carriage and sit side by side with the driver of Prince Rong, but when he heard this, he quickly agreed: "Okay."

So Zhou Chang sat to the lower right of Prince Rong in the carriage, with Skinny Monkey next to him, keeping a distance from the person opposite him.

When Zhou Chang sat down steadily and looked up again, he suddenly felt a coldness in the man's eyes. But when he turned his head to look over, the man had already lowered his eyes, and his whole body seemed to have never moved.

The carriage started moving, and Prince Rong stopped talking, perhaps because Prince Duan's curse had taken him to heart.

It was the first time for Zhou Chang to ride with a prince, and he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Prince Rong slowly shook his head, with a worried look on his face: "Alas, ninth brother, why are you so reckless? The news of the bet will spread throughout the entire Jindu City in less than half a day."

"Rumors always spread the fastest. I don't care about it, and Brother Rong Wang shouldn't care about it either." Zhou Chang was talking to Rong Wang, glancing at the skinny monkey. He found that the skinny monkey didn't seem to be affected by the black-clad guards at all, and was even looking him up and down with a smile.

"Are you so sure that you can win?" Prince Rong looked very worried.

Zhou Chang was vague: "It's a bet."

Prince Rong's gentle eyes showed helplessness, and he changed the subject: "You are not a child anymore, you should stop playing around. You should have gotten married a long time ago, and it's my fault for neglecting to pay attention to you."

Zhou Chang didn't expect Prince Rong to suddenly mention getting married, so he rejected it outright: "I don't want to get married."

"You are not a child anymore..." Prince Rong wanted to say something else, but once this topic was started, it could not be easily stopped.

Zhou Chang also brought up a topic in a hurry: "Brother Rong Wang, you must be careful of Duan Wang, he has always been targeting you and me..."

"Huh?" Prince Rong was confused and didn't know why Prince Yi suddenly mentioned this.

Zhou Chang was just trying to avoid the topic of marriage, but he actually dug a hole for himself: "Brother Rong, didn't you hear what he said just now? You are such a kind person, but Prince Duan is always arrogant and looks down on others. I have always avoided him as much as possible. Shouldn't Brother Rong be more careful?"

Prince Rong's expression darkened for a moment, but he immediately recovered and said seriously, "We are all brothers, and he is your elder brother. How can you talk about him behind his back?"

"Yes, Brother Prince Rong is right." Zhou Chang just wanted to change the subject, and now that he had succeeded, he quickly shut up.

Without saying anything, the atmosphere in the carriage returned to being weird.

It was mainly thanks to the guard of Prince Rong.

Zhou Chang endured it again and again, and finally got off the carriage early.

Only after watching Prince Rong's carriage leave did she let out a long sigh of relief, mainly because no matter how she looked at it, she still felt that there was something wrong with that guard.

"Dead body..." Standing under the sun, Zhou Chang suddenly realized.

The guard Wu Feng could see the person's existence when his eyes were open, but if he closed his eyes, he would feel that there was no breath in him, just like a dead body crawling out of a grave.

Zhou Chang told Skinny Monkey about this feeling.

The thin monkey didn't feel anything at all: "How is it possible? Your Highness is suspicious. I am sitting opposite him and can see clearly that he is a real living person, breathing, but he looks like a piece of sugar cane."

"Sugar cane?" Zhou Chang was used to the skinny monkey thinking of everything as food, but he couldn't associate the guard of Prince Rong with sugar cane.

"It's a sugarcane, a long and thin piece, with a black and hard skin on the outside and white inside." The skinny monkey actually saw a piece of sugarcane in front of him.

Zhou Chang also felt that this made sense, but he was still unwilling to accept it: "Then do you smell a special smell on him? It's like the bitterness of Chinese medicine, mixed with some indescribable fragrance."

"Now that you put it that way, it does seem to be true. That's just like red sugarcane, tsk tsk..." The skinny monkey made a bitter face to express his disgust.

"What is red-heart sugarcane?" Zhou Chang had really never heard of it.

The skinny monkey said, "Red sugar cane is sugar cane that has gone bad and moldy. You must not eat it. It will poison you to death."

"Haha..., it seems that your tongue is more poisonous than mine." The two of them talked for a while, sweeping away the gloom that Wu Feng had just brought.

Zhou Chang was already starving when he entered the mansion.

The Prince Yi's mansion has vegetables planted in the front yard, fruit trees planted in the middle yard, and farmland in the back yard. The entire thing is a large self-sufficient farm, if for no other reason than to save money.

It has been four days since Zhou Chang took over the body of Prince Yi Fengming, but he still cannot appreciate these things. He just anxiously wants the kitchen to prepare a few dishes to replace them.

As soon as he walked into the corridor, he ran into his personal bodyguard Gao Yuan.

Yes, she almost forgot that Prince Yi Fengming also "took advantage" of a guard.

Gao Yuan was wearing a blue-gray long gown, a wide black leather belt around his waist and a single sword slung over his shoulder. The sleeve of his left hand was empty and he held a brocade box in his right hand. He only had one arm.

Upon seeing Zhou Chang, Gao Yuan stopped and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chang was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, but he still glanced at the brocade box: "What did you take? What are you going to do with it?"

"Yesterday, Mr. Zhong found this set of celadon tea set from the government treasury and asked his subordinates to take it to the pawnshop in Jixiangfang to pawn it in exchange for some silver." Gao Yuan spoke in a low voice.

pawnshop?

Zhou Chang's heart tightened again just as he relaxed. Has Prince Yi's Mansion really come to this? "Can a salted fish really turn over?

You can, but you’ll still be a worthless person after you turn things around.”
