Contract Prince

Lu Lin was born with a square face and a serious face, giving people a kind of majesty invisibly.He became angry, and the others were even more respectful and fearful.

However, Concubine Qu is not afraid of Duke Ning.She smiled like a flower, and brushed the hair on her forehead, "Anyway, I am considered a guest of your mansion today. The way the Duke treats guests seems to be a bit unsavory. Let me ask you, I have offended the Duke. grandpa?"

Lu Lin said unceremoniously: "Whether you have offended me or not, you know in your heart."

Concubine Qu smiled more and more: "Forget it, forget it, if you don't want to see me this much, then the little girl should leave first, so as not to hinder your eyes by staying here."

Thinking of saving his son Lu Zhong, Lu Lin could only swallow his anger.He said expressionlessly: "It's the old man who neglected Boss Qu, please come inside."

"So, the little girl is bothering you."

Lu Lin led the way in front, and after bypassing numerous flower bushes and rockery, and twists and turns, he, Concubine Qu, led him into the secret room.After letting people watch tea, Lu Lin withdrew his servants and started a formal private conversation with Qu Feiqing.

"Boss Qu, this old man is short-tempered, so he won't let it go. This time, the old man's son, Lu Zhong, is imprisoned. I'm afraid you have something to do with it."

Hearing this, Concubine Qu put the tea cover halfway on the teacup, and tapped the eaves lightly with onion-like fingers. While continuing this action, she asked Lu Lin: "Little girl is ignorant and her comprehension ability is limited, why can't she understand?" What does the Duke mean? I heard that your son was convicted for offending Princess Zhao, so what does this have to do with the little girl? Could it be that I told him to offend Princess Zhao in public?"

Lu Lin snorted coldly: "Boss Qu, the medicine Chun. Xin. Dong is yours alone."

Chun.Xin.Dong is a secret medicine specially made by Huangfu Yun. Apart from him, no one else can develop it.Qu Feiqing put down the cup, pondered for a moment and nodded, "Indeed."

"Boss Qu can be regarded as open-minded." Lu Lin frowned, his face tense, "My son Lu Zhong was aroused by someone, and that's why he acted out of bounds at Princess Zhao's birthday banquet. .”

A cold smile inadvertently flashed across Qu Feiqing's brows and eyes, and she asked: "Listening to the meaning of Ning Guogong's words, could it be that I was the one who framed Lu Zhong?"

Lu Lin was silent, and after a long while, he said: "Of course not. Boss Qu is a very good man, he can only use my son, and with the background of my Lu family, Lu Zhong is still very useful. Boss Qu certainly won't put him to death before he's used up!"

Jiang is still very old, and Lu Zhong, a fool, can't compare with his old man at all.From Lu Lin's words, Concubine Qu knew that the matter of the million-dollar bill must not be hidden.When she looked at Lu Lin, her eyes had changed, the smile was no longer the same as before, and her eyes were a little more gloomy and fierce.

"Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait. Mr. Lu himself is willing to take the bait, what can the little girl do?"

"The wisher took the bait?" These words seemed to offend Lu Lin. He slapped the table again and gritted his teeth. How dare you say that you didn't frame Lu Zhong deliberately."

"Master Guo, please be patient and don't be impatient. It's not good to be too angry. I came here today because of Mr. Lu's matter. If you keep making me angry like this, then we really can't talk."

Even though there were all kinds of resentment in Lu Lin's heart, he was not overwhelmed by the anger. He shook his hands heavily, calmed down his anger a little, and said a sentence through the gap between his teeth: "The old man was abrupt in his words just now, and he still looks at the song. Sir Boss has a lot, don’t take offense.”

Concubine Qu forced a smile: "Since the Duke has said so, of course the little girl won't mind."

"Boss Qu, you said you came here for the matter of Lu Zhong?" Lu Lin tried to keep his tone as easy-going as possible, "How are you going to rescue Lu Zhong?"

Lu Lin asked this question very naturally, as if he had foreseen the purpose of Concubine Qu's trip.

"To save is to save, but before saving, we have to clear our minds." Qu Feiqing said, "The medicine of Chun. Xin. Dong is indeed unique to me. I don't know why it leaked out."

Lu Lin quickly asked, "Can you trust the people around Boss Qu?"

"Of course I can trust you." Concubine Qu was full of confidence, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, the people around me are fine. Are you sure Mr. Lu is really attracted to you?"

Lu Lin let out a long sigh, and described Lu Zhong's symptoms to Qu Feiqing truthfully.

"It looks like spring. Heart. Movement, and it has a lot of weight." Concubine Qu said, "Spring. Heart. Movement is a very important clue, we must catch it. Saving Mr. Lu is not an easy task. I have to think long-term, let me go back and think about it. I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Concubine Qu never thought of saving Lu Zhong. She came here to trick Lu Lin, to see if he knew about the 100 million taels of silver.Now it was discovered that Lu Lin not only knew about the bank notes, but also told about Chun.Xin.Dong.

This case is of great importance, and there seems to be more behind it.Concubine Qu felt that it was necessary to discuss with her master Huangfuyun.

"If Boss Qu can rescue Lu Zhong, I can ignore the matter of the 100 million taels of silver. I can even guarantee that the court will never find out about you." In order to save his son, Lu Lin offered very strict conditions. tempting.

Concubine Qu was most concerned about the bank note, she said decisively: "Okay, the little girl will take her leave first."

Lu Lin instructed again: "Lu Zhong will face a joint trial the day after tomorrow, and I hope Boss Qu can seize the time."

…………

In an extremely dark and damp small palace, there is a smell of decay and dilapidation everywhere, which is also mixed with a heavy smell of herbs.The mixture of several flavors is really disgusting.

Dozens of lights were flickering on and off. Although the light was weak, it could barely illuminate the road.Concubine Qu followed the faint light and walked in slowly.

There are all kinds of alchemy furnaces in the middle of the palace, big and small, tall and short, in different shapes.A man in a gray robe was standing next to the alchemy furnace, concentrating on tinkering.His ears perked up slightly, and he heard footsteps behind him, without turning his head, he just asked, "Feiqing, why are you here today?"

The voice was extremely hoarse and deep, at first hearing it gave people a feeling of creepiness and chills down the spine, as if it came from hell, but fortunately Qu Feiqing got used to it.

Concubine Qu cupped her hands and said, "This apprentice is here because I have something important to report to Master."

This so-called important matter did not make the gray man's face even slightly moved, nor did it arouse his interest at all.Huangfu Yun was still tinkering with the pills, but casually said, "What's important?"

"Master, Lu Zhong entered the Dali Temple and died in prison."

"Oh." Huangfu Yun responded lightly, "This kind of lustful person should have been sent to prison long ago. Why do you need to come and tell me in person about this kind of thing? Concubine, you have more important things to do, don't waste your time on unrelated people."

Concubine Qu said: "Master, Lu Zhong knows about the 100 million taels of silver bill. If he bites out, people from the imperial court will definitely find us. For us, this is very unfavorable."

"Self-use of the imperial treasury bank is a capital crime, enough to destroy the Lu family. Lu Zhong will not easily explain this matter. Why are you panicking about this matter? Those who make big things have to be calm." Huangfu Yun's eyes were still locked on Dan. On the stove, as if the things outside couldn't distract him, his attention was always focused on the pill stove.

"Master, according to what Lu Lin said, Lu Zhong's temperament changed drastically after eating meth, and that's why he offended Princess Zhao at the birthday banquet." Concubine Qu raised her eyebrows and paused, "This meth is Spring. Heart. Move. This medicine is master's unique drug, why did it leak out?"

"Chun. Heart. Move?" Huangfu Yun finally stopped the movements in his hands, his skinny face was filled with a rare fierce look, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did Lu Lin conclude that the medicine was Spring. Heart. Move? "

"When Tuer went to Lu's mansion, he told me about Lu Zhong's symptoms. His symptoms are generally the same as those presented by eating Chun.Xin.Dong."

Precisely because Chunxindong is not an ordinary aphrodisiac, Qu Feiqing will keep all its characteristics in mind.

Suddenly, Huangfu Yun's gaze became extremely dark and precarious, and even a complex expression flickered on his unchanging face.He said to himself, "Shangguanlan, it's Shangguanlan who is here."

In this world, there are only two people who can refine the medicine of spring, heart, and movement, one is Huangfuyun, and the other is Shangguanlan.

Although Concubine Qu had heard of Shangguanlan's name, she could tell from the change in Huangfuyun's expression that Shangguanlan definitely had an unusual past with her master.At this moment, Qu Feiqing was still a little curious about the future and past of these two people.

Concubine Qu asked, "But the medical sage Shangguan Lan?"

Huangfuyun's memory was dragged back to many years ago in a trance, and the days in Wangyou Valley came back to his mind.Thinking of Shangguan Lan, his face was full of unwillingness.

"That's right, it's him! A person who almost killed the teacher!" Huangfu Yun's voice was deeper than before, and it was even more creepy, "The teacher has a deep hatred with him!"

Immediately, he opened his hands and laughed loudly, "Shangguanlan, Shangguanlan, I originally wanted to settle accounts with you after the big event is completed! Unexpectedly, you came to the door yourself! Shangguanlan, I want to accompany you this time. You have fun, the old accounts from more than 20 years ago have to be settled together! Shangguanlan either you die this time, or I die! Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"

If Huangfu Yun's voice sounded like it came from purgatory, then his series of laughter at this moment can be called abnormal.

Qu Feiqing listened very carefully, she did not hear too much introduction about Shangguanlan from her master Huangfuyun.However, from Huangfuyun's vicious words, Qu Feiqing knew that there was really a lot of hatred between Shangguanlan and her master.It is not an exaggeration to say that the hatred between you and me is death.

"Master, could it be that Shangguan Lan designed Lu Zhong to be imprisoned this time?"

"Impossible." Huangfu Yun stopped his perverted laughter, shook his head and said, "Shangguan Lan has been living in seclusion in Wangyou Valley, and hardly deals with outsiders. Where did he meet Lu Zhong? Shangguan Lan is indeed hateful, but It's not without merit, he won't use despicable means to deal with people. So, it shouldn't be him."

Concubine Qu stared and said: "But how to explain this spring heartbeat? Could it be that someone bribed Shangguanlan to deal with Lu Zhong?"

"Shangguan Lan is a man of high self-esteem, and has always been indifferent to fame and fortune. How can someone buy a person who is not for money or fame?" Huangfu said: "Feiqing, please order someone to investigate this matter carefully. From the beginning of Lu Zhong's imprisonment, let me find out everything, and report all the news to me."

"Yes, master." Concubine Qu said again, "Just now Lu Lin begged me to save Lu Zhong, and he said he could help us hide the matter of the one million taels of silver."

Before learning about Shangguanlan's news, Huangfuyun devoted all his attention to refining the elixir.But now after learning about it, Huangfuyun's mind and even his soul are engraved with Shangguanlan's name everywhere.Of course, this is not longing, but monstrous hatred.

Huangfu Yun said impatiently: "First, let me find out about Shangguan Lan and Chun. Xin. Dong, other things are irrelevant. Don't worry, the Lu family doesn't have the guts to threaten us with the bank notes. "

Qu Feiqing hesitated and said: "Master, Lu Lin has a good background, we can actually try to cooperate with him. In this way, our plan may be realized sooner."

Huangfu Yun retorted: "Very naive idea. Lu Lin is not a person who is willing to be threatened by others. As a teacher, I dare to bet that as long as Lu Zhong is rescued, he will definitely do everything possible to deal with you. These yellow-sounding words, It’s almost as good as coaxing children.”

"Lu Lin is the emperor's master, so he wouldn't be so contradictory?" Qu Feiqing asked, "Master seems to know Lu Lin very well."

Huangfu Yun's brows sank: "Feiqing, remember what you say as a teacher, and don't ask too much about what you shouldn't. Doing things for a teacher has its own reasons."

"Yes, my disciple respectfully obeys the instruction." Concubine Qu respectfully said.

Huangfu Yun said again: "How are you doing to let the heroes of the green forest submit to us?"

Hearing Huangfu Yun mention this matter, Concubine Qu couldn't help feeling a strong sense of frustration in her heart, her picturesque eyebrows suddenly dimmed, and she said sadly: "I'm incompetent, I haven't settled this matter yet."

Huangfu Yun glanced at her for a while, and said calmly: "I know that this matter is not easy to handle. Therefore, you don't have to blame yourself too much, just try to get it done next time. Now this matter can be delayed, first Get busy with Guanlan's affairs."

.........

On the way back home in the sedan chair, Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue kept discussing about Concubine Qu.

Gu Yunjing returned to her normal appearance, and she asked, "Xue'er, what do you think of Concubine Qu?"

"Unpredictable." Xiao Muxue gently moved her head from Gu Yunjing's shoulder, and answered truthfully.The more she thought about Qu Feiqing, the more she felt that she was like a cloud of confusion.The misty cloud is transparent, while Qu Feiqing is a colorful and extremely coquettish misty cloud.

Gu Yunjing smiled: "Xue'er has always been smart, and you can't figure out the person, how deep should be hidden in her stomach."

"Is the son-in-law's words a compliment to me, or to Concubine Qu?"

"It's both." Gu Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "However, it's natural to praise Xue'er more. I didn't know about Wanchun Tower before, and I didn't know about it. Now that I understand it a little, I'm still It's really interesting."

"Concubine Qu only took three years to manage the Wanchun Building so prosperously. I have to admire her business skills. She rarely appears in Wanchun Building, but she can control everything hands, I have to admire her mastery of control ability."

Gu Yunjing's ability to use two musts in a row shows that she really appreciates Concubine Qu in her heart.Xiao Muxue said: "It's the first time I've heard you use such words to praise someone."

Gu Yunjing said: "It's more regrettable. Such a powerful person has inextricably linked with that Lu Zhong, so he must have stumbled in the end. Lu Zhong is a lecherous villain, Qu Feiqing can have a relationship with him If you have a deep friendship, it will definitely not be much better."

"In recent years, the sale of aphrodisiacs has been banned in the brothel singing and dancing halls, and Chun. Xin. Dong has something to do with Wan Chun Lou. Therefore, I guess that Concubine Qu must have been secretly traded by Lu Zhong."
