Spring Drunk Chang'an

After Liu Chang'an and Xiao Chuo's subordinates left, they went their separate ways quietly.

The subordinates climbed over the wall and left the Ningguo Mansion, mounted their horses, and left quickly.

Liu Changan secretly looked for the spy she left in the Liu family, the maid Guiyuan, who had served with her at Madam Song's side and had run many errands for her.

That child was smart and clever, and she got along very well with Liu Chang'an. Although her ancestors were all children of the Ningguo Mansion, she couldn't "betray" the Liu family if Liu Chang'an asked her to do so, but she would help spread some gossip...

"Don't worry, I can do this!"

Little Guiyuan smiled and patted his chest to make a promise.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Liu Changan's eyebrows curved slightly, and he took out a handful of silver melon seeds from his pocket and handed them to her, "Here, use them to buy flowers for Dai'er!"

Neither she nor the prince could get involved in these troubles, lest they get involved and couldn't get rid of them, so naturally they needed help.

"Sister Changan is so polite. I promise I'll do everything for you!"

With the reward of silver money, Guiyuan was more motivated, her face flushed with smiles. She took the silver melon seeds, put them in her pocket, and smiled, "Sister Changan, wait, I'll do it right away!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Liu Changan fell far behind her, watching her call a few girls, run to the kitchen to get some snacks, and then go to the Ximen Zhao room in the mansion...

It is just next to Jishan Hall.

The people living there were also servants from Jishan Hall, including Liu Caodeng and other concubines in the room.

Of course, she originally didn't live here, but in Baoxiali, Jishan Hall, specifically to serve Liu Wenbai. However, wasn't the wedding taking place today? Qu Qiutong was afraid that the concubines would be an eyesore to the new prince's wife, so she sent them all away.

After Liu Caodeng secretly opened the door for Liu Changan, she returned to the back room. She was completely unaware of the chaos that had occurred in Jishan Hall, but...

I can't resist Guiyuan and her "little friends" coming.

They walked to the window under Liu Caodeng and chatted loudly.

"...Is Madam Li in the room? If you don't send it over soon, the snacks will get cold!"

"Hey, forget about that. The prince is making a big fuss today. You don't even know what the fight is like..."

"What's wrong? Why are you fighting? Isn't the prince getting married?"

"What kind of marriage is this? Your head is almost smashed into a dog's head..."

A clear voice, question and answer, told everything that happened in Jishan Hall, "Over there, the Duke of Zhenguo brought his family and wanted to cancel the engagement!"

"Ah, that's not too much of a point, is it? The Crown Prince's Consort has already married into the family, how can we ruin the marriage?"

"Why not? My daughter is missing from our house!"

In the room, Liu Caodeng's eyes suddenly widened, and she instinctively opened her mouth to shout, but the next moment, she suddenly closed it. She threw down the needlework she was doing, clenched her fists, sneaked to the window, and listened carefully with her ears perked up.

Outside, Guiyuan saw the shadow on the window paper, pursed her lips and smiled for a moment. Then, with a deliberately embarrassed tone, she said, "Well, actually, when the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were drinking the wedding wine just now, I happened to be passing by the back corridor and heard something..."

"What did you hear?"

"Well, it's hard to say, and I don't dare to say it!"

"Hey, tell me, there are only a few of us here, who would spread the news?"

"Yes, yes, it's okay!"

"Then, then I'll tell you. I, I saw it. The Crown Prince wasn't beaten by any bad guys at all. It was the Crown Prince's wife who colluded with an adulterer and eloped. The Crown Prince saw them, and they were afraid that the Crown Prince would scream and run away, so they beat him up!"

"Adulterer? The Crown Prince's wife? That can't be right. That, that's the noble lady of the Duke's Mansion..."

"Come on, what's the point of being a noble lady? I find it dirty just to mention it. A little girl like me doesn't have any sense of shame. Do you know who her adulterer is?"

"Who is it? The groom? The nanny? These are the only people the ladies can interact with, right?"

"Come on, if he's really my milk brother? I won't say anything. Our Crown Prince's Consort calls that adulterer 'Second Brother'?"

"Second brother? A pet name?"

"What a pet name! It's her real brother, the second son of 'Xu Yuan' in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

"The Crown Prince's Concubine committed adultery and eloped with her own brother? That's impossible!!"

"I heard it with my own ears. The Crown Prince's Consort said it all. She and the Second Young Master Xu have been in love for a long time. Even the Duke Zhenguo and his wife know about it. They deliberately married the Crown Prince's Consort into our family and made our Crown Prince a cuckold. He has no way to express his suffering!"

"Oh my god, Ju, is it really like this? Why didn't you go and tell him? The Jishan Hall is in chaos now. The Duke Zhenguo and his wife act like we have harmed their daughter, and they have forced our master into a life-or-death dilemma."

"Yes, the prince was beaten! If you tell him about this, the prince will definitely reward you!"

"That's a shameful thing. I told you, I don't know how much the reward will be, but the Duke of Zhenguo will definitely hate me. He's a dignified Duke, and I'm just a maid, how can I resist him? It's better to keep my mouth shut and do less!"

"That's right. We are not from the prince's courtyard. Whether the prince is good or bad has nothing to do with us..."

Several little maids sighed.

In the room, Liu Caodeng's eyes were wide open, and excitement was in his pupils.

This is an opportunity!

The maids were of low status and didn't want to cause trouble, but she was the prince's concubine. If she made achievements, gained the trust of the Duke and the favor of the prince, it would be good for her to become a concubine.

Liu Caodeng's eyes lit up, and he turned around to go out and find out what was going on.

In the corridor, Guiyuan saw the figure on the window paper suddenly move, she quickly waved her hand and winked at her little sister.

——Leave quickly.

Several maids understood what she meant, picked up their skirts, followed Guiyuan, and ran away.

When Liu Caodeng came out, he didn't even see their shadows.

"Oh, really, I should have called out to them!"

She stamped her feet in anger, her expression changing unpredictably. After a moment, she gritted her teeth in hatred and said, "Forget it, it's better if no one steals the credit from me!"

"Who knows, for the rest of my life, whether I'll wear silk and drink oil, or marry a servant, it all depends on this time!"

After that, he turned around and left.

Outside the courtyard, Guiyuan saw Liu Caodeng's distant back and knew that she had accomplished her task. She smiled with pursed lips and said to the sisters proudly, "You cooperated well with me. I didn't use you in vain. Come on, come on, let's go eat fried fruits!"

"Can I have some sweet water?"

The little maid bit her fingers, her face full of longing.

"Let's have some rock sugar sweet soup, I'll treat you!" Guiyuan patted his chest.

"That's a good feeling!"

The maids cheered and several of them left in a flash.

Behind a distant tree, Liu Changan smiled faintly, waved his sleeves and turned around.
