Contract Prince

"My lord, that's not what I meant." The boy mourned while enduring the pain in his chest.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, listen up. You must find a beautiful woman with good taste and good taste for me within three days, otherwise you can come and see me!"

After scolding his subordinates, Lu Zhong flicked his sleeves and walked towards the Duke's mansion.As soon as Yu Liang saw Lu Zhong's swollen face and sallow complexion, it goes without saying that he knew that this son had indulged in women's lust again these days.

"Brother Yu, I need your help with something." Lu Zhong walked into the room, and after seeing Yu Liang, the anger on his face quickly subsided, and he changed into a face exuding a wretched, wretched, smile.

Seeing Lu Zhong's wretched, wretched, and wretched expression, Yu Liang probably guessed what was going on.He sighed secretly because he took refuge in such a master who could not support the wall.After grumbling in his heart for a while, Yu Liang smiled slightly and said, "My dear brother, if you have anything to say, just discuss it."

"Brother Yu, you have seen a lot, do you know anyone who can make Zhuang. After taking this medicine, I will definitely be able to revive the masculinity!"

Although the imperial physicians in the palace could also refine Zhuang Yang Dan, Lu Zhong did not dare to ask them for medicine easily.He was not married, so he rushed to find this elixir, which just proved that he was looking for flowers and willows.

Lu Zhong established a good image in front of the emperor, if this matter got to Xiao Guan's ears, wouldn't it damage his own image?Her Royal Highness hasn't caught up yet, so he can't let others know his hypocrisy.

"My dear brother, I don't know anyone who can refine this pill." After a long silence, Yu Liang said, "You may not like to hear some words, but I still want to say them. If you think you can listen to them, then listen to them." , if you can’t listen, just pretend I didn’t say it.”

Lu Zhong is not the kind of person who humbly asks for advice, he has always been the only one who preaches and insults others, and suddenly being taught a lesson by others makes him feel very upset.Even if this person is Yu Liang who he regards as his elder brother.

"Speak, I'll listen." Lu Zhong said impatiently.

"Now is the critical moment. Tao Ce is not dead yet, and the Habayashi Army is investigating the assassin's affairs in full swing. We still have a lot to do. If we keep indulging in women, we will inevitably miss things."

Yu Liang took a deep look at Lu Zhong, and said meaningfully: "Have you forgotten about Lutang?"

Of course Lu Zhong remembered Lutang, not only remembered, but hated him very much.If it wasn't for this woman, why would he be put to death by Concubine Qu.Although Lutang had been tortured to death by Lu Zhong after the incident, when Yu Liang mentioned her again, the thorn in Lu Zhong's heart seemed to be provoked again.

"Hmph! Concubine Qu is a bitch, sooner or later I will crush her to ashes!" Lu Zhong said, "I was negligent that time. Don't worry, brother Yu, I won't make a second mistake."

"As for the assassination case, you don't have to worry too much. The gang of Habayashi Army can't find us. At best, they only found a few corpses, and the dead can't speak. What do we have to be afraid of?"

"You're right, it's better to be careful." Yu Liang rubbed his throbbing right eyelid, "I don't know why, my right eyelid has been throbbing a lot recently. The left eye is jumping for money, and the right eye is jumping for disaster. I feel like something bad is going to happen."

Lu Zhongdao: "You are worrying too much, there is nothing to worry about. We eat when we need to, drink when we need to drink, and play when we need to play."

Lu Zhong spoke lightly and cheerfully. He has always looked down on the IQ of those people in the Habayashi Army, so he didn't take their investigation into his heart at all.It was precisely because of his self-righteousness and carelessness that he did not disclose a seemingly inconspicuous but in fact extremely important news to Yu Liang, which laid a hidden danger for the future collapse of the Ningguo government.

"Okay, I'll hurry up and get busy first. When my father finds me, just say that I've been discussing knowledge with Uncle Dingwen's son these few days."

Since Yu Liang didn't know people in the world who could make alchemy, Lu Zhong didn't plan to waste time chatting with him.In life, female sex is paramount, and he still has to rush to hunt for beauty.Patting the skirt of his clothes, he quickly disappeared in front of Yu Liang.

Yu Liang looked at Lu Zhong, dumbfounded.At this moment, he suddenly felt that it might be a wrong choice to seek refuge with Lu Zhong.

In the following time, Lu Zhong still let his men spare no effort to find the beautiful woman.Many women were recruited, but Lu Zhong felt dissatisfied.

Of course, Gu Zhong saw all of this.If it wasn't for Gu Yunjing repeatedly telling him not to act rashly, Gu Zhong would have been filled with righteous indignation and beat up Lu Zhong and the lackeys in the Lu Mansion.

But today Gu Zhong really broke the precept. When he was following Lu Zhong, he saw that the other party was about to grab a weak woman by force.This girl was born extremely beautiful, her skin was as bright as jade, her beauty was undeniably vulgar, her appearance was no different from Xiao Muxue's.

Gu Zhong couldn't bear to see this stunning man ruined by Lu Zhong, a beast.Of course, Lu Zhong couldn't be aware of his true identity, so Gu Zhong masked his face and rescued the woman.

Although he did it bravely for a time, his heart was still a little uneasy.After all, Gu Yunjing told her not to act rashly.

"Thank you for the big brother's help, the little girl is very grateful." The stunning woman said gratefully, and was about to kowtow to Gu Zhong on the ground.

"Girl, you don't need to be too polite. When you see injustice, you should draw your sword to help." Gu Zhong slowly helped the other party up. He looked at the girl's attire and asked, "Looking at the girl like this, she is going to seek refuge with relatives, right?"

"Exactly. The little girl's name is Suqiu, and she came here to seek refuge in Prince An's Mansion." Suqiu replied truthfully, "I am the distant cousin of Princess An, and my father was the prefect of a party. Someone helped me. That's why I traveled thousands of miles to join Prince An's Mansion, and I also asked my cousin-in-law to make decisions for my father."

"Since you are defecting, why didn't Prince An's Mansion send someone to meet you?" Gu Zhong asked.

"My cousin-in-law replied to me in the letter, saying that he would meet me at the gate of the capital." Suqiu wiped her tears, "Who knows, before seeing my cousin-in-law, I met a group of robbers."

Gu Zhong moved his heart slightly, "It's not easy for you to be a daughter's family. There is no guarantee that these gangsters will not trouble you. How about this, I will send you to Prince An's Mansion. I am very familiar with His Royal Highness Prince An. "

Because she is a lifesaver, Suqiu has no guard against Gu Zhong.She was also afraid of encountering robbers, so she readily agreed, "Thank you, brother."

"Don't call me big brother." Facing the beautiful woman, Gu Zhong was unprecedentedly shy, "My name is Gu Zhong, and I am the guard of Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion. Our eldest son married His Royal Highness Princess, and the Prince An's Mansion of the Hou Mansion is also a real in-law. .”

"Gu Zhong." Su Qiu said softly, "He is loyal, chivalrous and courageous. He really lives up to his name."

Gu Zhong scratched his head in embarrassment again.

Escorting Suqiu all the way, he couldn't help peeking at Suqiu on the way.After the other party noticed Gu Zhong's strange gaze, he also stared at him. Their eyes happened to meet. Gu Zhong scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

After serving as a flower protector for a long time, Gu Zhong finally sent Suqiu to Prince An's Mansion.Fortunately, the journey was peaceful at last. After Lu Zhong and others were beaten all over the floor looking for their teeth, they hurried back to heal their injuries and did not come out to make trouble again.Otherwise, Gu Zhong's identity might be exposed.

Several hours later, Gu Zhong returned to the Hou Mansion to report Lu Zhong's whereabouts to Gu Yunjing as usual.

"My son, Lu Zhong didn't do anything else, he was still recruiting beautiful women."

"Lv Zhong only has this kind of virtue. I find it strange that he is not obsessed with beauty." Gu Yunjing squinted and smiled, "Okay, his happy days are coming to an end. Gu Zhong, keep watching, don't Anything went wrong."

Gu Zhong's expression froze, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "My son, I am guilty."

Gu Yunjing stared, puzzled and asked: "What's wrong with you? How can you plead guilty?"

"I, I attacked Lu Zhong and the others just now." Gu Zhong knelt down on his knees, "I didn't obey the order of the son, please punish me."

Gu Yunjing understood Gu Zhong's character, she sighed: "Get up first, and explain the matter in detail."

"No, I'm guilty." Gu Zhong insisted, "My lord, let me kneel down, it will make me feel better."

"Then kneel down and say it." Gu Yunjing didn't force it, and said lightly.

"My son, just now I saw Lu Zhong wanting to snatch a weak woman. I couldn't hold back and rescued the girl. The girl is extremely beautiful. I couldn't bear to see her fall into the hands of the jackal, so I... .”

Gu Yunjing interrupted Gu Zhong's words, she solemnly said: "Gu Zhong, I have repeatedly emphasized that you should not act rashly, but you still did not listen to my words. If I had known this, I should have let Caiyue do the work. "

Looking at the disappointed expression on his master's face, Gu Zhong felt extremely sad.

"My son, Gu Zhong failed to complete the task you gave me. Please punish me. No matter how much punishment I receive, I will have no regrets."

"The matter has come to this point, and punishing you will not help." Gu Yunjing lowered his eyes, showing worry, "I am afraid that Lu Zhong will restrain his behavior after seeing your identity. Once he stops, our plan will be destroyed." Stranded."

"No." Gu Zhong hurriedly said, "I was masked to save the girl, and Lu Zhong and the others didn't recognize me."

When Gu Yunjing heard this, the worried expression on his face lightened slightly, and he thought about it and said: "That's okay, it won't be completely bad.

The son-in-law paced back and forth, concentrating his eyes, as if he was thinking about countermeasures.Suddenly she stopped in her tracks, her eyes lit up, and she asked Gu Zhong: "Where is that girl now?"

"My lord, it's a coincidence." As soon as the girl Suqiu was mentioned, Gu Zhong, a rough man, also had a faint tenderness in his eyes, "The girl's name is Suqiu, and she is the distant cousin of Princess An. Something happened at home, so I came to the imperial capital to take refuge with King An."

"It's really a coincidence, this sleeping pillow is handed really well." Gu Yunjing smiled and said, "This Suqiu girl came too timely. Gu Zhong, instead of blaming you, I will reward you heavily. After the plan is completed , I will reward you again."

"My son, have you found a way to cure this utterly conscientious bastard?" Gu Zhong said excitedly, God knows how much he wanted to cut Lu Zhong alive.

"The day after tomorrow is Princess Zhao's birthday banquet. At that time, I will give Lu Zhong a big gift." Gu Yunjing fiddled with his fingers, Shu Yuan's eyes were full of cold killing intent.

"Next, I have to go to Prince An's Mansion first. After all, this plan cannot do without Miss Suqiu's help." Gu Yunjing said, "Gu Zhong, go find some smart people and let them escort me there."

Not long after, a gorgeous sedan chair landed in front of the gate of Prince An's Mansion.The scale of Prince An's Mansion is small, and it cannot be compared with the East Palace.As the breeze blew, a few leaves fell in front of the stone steps of the palace, making the deserted palace even more desolate and lonely.

After Gu Yunjing stepped down from the sedan chair, looking at the deserted palace in front of the gate, he felt emotional again: "It's a truth that has never changed since ancient times."

In the past, when Xiao Zhangui was the prince, there was an endless stream of ministers who fawned on him every day.Now that he has been relegated to the title of county king, all those ministers who flocked to him have disappeared without a trace.

After the servants in the palace knew that it was the son-in-law who came to visit, they skipped the link of notification and let Gu Yunjing enter the mansion directly.

"I haven't seen His Highness King An for a long time, and I'm here to chatter. I hope King An won't dislike you." Gu Yunjing bowed his hands and saluted.

"Where is the son-in-law talking? They are all from my own family, so why be so polite. The king's palace is open to you at any time." Xiao Zhan paused slightly, recalling his life as a prince in the past, his handsome face had a hint of loneliness He said, "No one usually comes to this palace. If the son-in-law can come, it's considered a face for the king."

"His Royal Highness Princess An is pregnant with the emperor's seed. This is really a gratifying thing to congratulate. Yun Jing is here to congratulate first."

"In this matter, this king is the first to get there. Son-in-law, you have to pay close attention."

Gu Yunjing's mood was a little delicate.

After Xiao Zhan ordered his subordinates to serve tea to Gu Yunjing, he quickly asked: "I heard that sister Xue'er woke up, how is she doing now? I was going to visit her, but Princess An was very scared. It's not easy to go away."

There was a look of relief on Gu Yunjing's face, and she said slightly: "His Royal Highness An is really caring, and it is a good fortune for the princess to marry you."

"Where is the good luck?" Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said, "She has suffered with me. She used to be a high-ranking princess and enjoyed countless honors. Now she is reduced to a princess of the county. Regardless of the honors and so on, she even eats and wears. The speed is much lower than before.”

In Xiao Zhan's words, there was a hint of self-blame.After hearing this, Gu Yunjing said softly: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. Concubine An is very virtuous and knowledgeable. What she wants is not glory and wealth. In fact, as long as she can be by His Highness's side, she will be very happy. "

"If you have a wife like this, what do you want from your husband? Your Highness should be happy." Gu Yunjing was telling the truth. In the court of intrigue and deceit, pure and kind women like Concubine An Liu's are indeed rare.

Xiao Zhan took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and said, "Your son-in-law doesn't have to envy me, sister Xue'er is much better than the concubine. It's a blessing you have cultivated for many generations to marry her."

When Xiao Muxue was mentioned, Xiao Zhan was full of praise.In his eyes, his sister is the kind of five in the sky.

"Indeed," Gu Yunjing nodded lightly, with a hard smile on her lips, a little pride in her joy, "Yunjing is really lucky to be able to marry the princess."

After three cups and two cups of tea, it was time to get down to business.

"His Royal Highness An, I came to see you today. Apart from visiting, I also have a very important request." Gu Yunjing said respectfully.

"It's okay for the son-in-law to speak directly, as long as it's useful to the king, just order it." Xiao Zhan said boldly, he owed Gu Yunjing a lot of favors, and was always thinking about how to repay the son-in-law's kindness.

Gu Yunjing hesitated a little, and said solemnly: "I want to borrow someone from His Highness."

Xiao Zhan asked, "Who is it?"

"If I remember correctly, Princess An's distant cousin Suqiu should live here."

"Suqiu just came to the mansion today." Xiao Zhan was a little puzzled, "How did the son-in-law know her whereabouts? She rarely comes to the imperial capital, so the son-in-law doesn't seem to know her well. How did he know her name?" ?”

Gu Yunjing smiled, and then told Xiao Zhan all about Gu Zhong's rescue of Suqiu.

"And this kind of thing? Lu Zhong, a lawless guy, dares to beat the whole thing on Suqiu's head? It's unreasonable to grab the women of the common people in broad daylight!" Xiao Zhan suddenly patted the table, and a sense of righteousness was stirring in his heart .

As soon as Suqiu came to Prince An's mansion, she was called by Concubine An to chat about the family affairs.The sisters had a lot to talk with when they stayed together, so Xiao Zhan naturally didn't want to bother her.So Suqiu hasn't told Xiao Zhan about Gu Zhong's rescue of her.

"An Guogong has no way to teach his son, and he connived Lu Zhong to do such a heartless thing! This king will definitely play him a book in front of the father." Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and said.

Gu Yunjing waved her hand lightly, signaling Xiao Zhan to calm down her anger, and she said, "His Royal Highness An, don't be arrogant. Although Lu Zhong is hateful, if you really join Lu Lin, what good will it do you?"

"Think carefully, Your Highness." Her calm gaze slowly fell on Xiao Zhan, "You are a county king now, without real power, how can you beat Lu Lin? You haven't moved Lu Lin, I'm afraid you will be the first It was calculated by him."

Xiao Zhan said coldly: "Could it be that Lu Zhong is allowed to act recklessly?"

"Of course not." Gu Yunjing said loudly, "I've already figured out a way to get rid of him. Not only can I get rid of him successfully, but I can also rescue Tao Ce."

Xiao Zhan said happily: "My son-in-law, what idea have you thought of?"

Gu Yunjing said lightly: "I've said it before, Suqiu. This time, if I want to bring down Lu Zhong, I really have to rely on Miss Suqiu's help."

"My son-in-law, I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you speak more clearly?" Xiao Zhan frowned.

"I heard from Gu Zhong that Miss Suqiu is stunning, and Lu Zhong covets her very much. I want her to be friendly with Lu Zhonghuan on purpose, so that I can implement my plan..."

"No!" Before Gu Yunjing finished speaking, Xiao Zhan strongly objected, Wang An's face was livid, and he said angrily, "Suqiu is Princess An's cousin, and this king can be regarded as a family. How could I push her into the pit of fire? If I really did this, how would it be different from what Lu Zhong and others did?"
