Chapter 123 Liu Yu strikes back
Seeing Liu Zhang being bullied by Prince Qi and Mr. Chen Sanye, Liu Yu and the others, who were hiding in the corner, felt relieved.
Liu Yu temporarily withdrew his gaze, came to Xiaojia's side, and whispered:
"Xiao Jia, go to Fuhe Hall and invite Qiu over. Tell her that the matter has been done and Prince Qi is going to reward her." She wanted to give Qiu a surprise before the matter got out of hand.
She then instructed Xiao Liu:
"I have a maid named Guyu, and I don't know where she is imprisoned. Xiao Liu, please go and look for her for me."
The two men stood up and left carefully, one in front and one behind.
Liu Yu returned to his lying position and continued to watch the excitement in the room.
……
"I really don't know what's going on. I also want to know where Sister Yu went." Liu Zhang said bitterly.
He also wanted someone to tell him what was going on.
The other two were not satisfied with this answer.
It is important to pry open Liu Zhang's mouth, but Mr. Chen San will not put all his hopes here.
The fact that Prince Qi is in the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion already illustrates one thing: it is impossible for the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion to find someone who Prince Qi is not satisfied with to serve him.
He had a vague guess, could it be that Liu Yu escaped on his own and Liu Zhang was really unaware of it?
Mr. Chen San gave Feng Xiao a look without making any expression, and the latter quietly retreated.
Prince Qi didn't care about all these. He only knew that not only did he not get the person he had been thinking about, but he was also disgusted by the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
It happened twice. Last time, I just caused some minor trouble to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
If I don't give them unforgettable pain this time, they will really think they can play around with me as they please.
He walked towards Liu Zhang step by step, raised his hand and patted Liu Zhang's face, smiling instead of getting angry:
"Okay, very good. You really gave me a big surprise. How can I thank you, Pingnan Marquis Mansion?"
These words happened to be heard by Qiu, who was tricked by Xiaojia to Fengya Pavilion. Qiu, who was already outside the door, couldn't stop smiling.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and stepped over the threshold. But when she saw Mr. Chen Sanye there, she was stunned for a moment, then became confused.
However, when she saw Prince Qi personally tidying up her son's clothes and praising their Pingnan Marquis Mansion, her great joy instantly overwhelmed her rationality, and she did not realize that, except for Master Chen San, there was something strange everywhere in the house.
And Liu Zhang winked at her, but she didn't notice it.
She walked excitedly to King Qi, knelt down, and said excitedly:
"It is our Pingnan Marquis Mansion's honor to help the prince solve his problems."
Hearing Qiu's voice, Prince Qi let go of Liu Zhang and looked at Qiu expressionlessly.
Qiu thought that Prince Qi was just going to walk away and not take any responsibility.
She would not admit it. She, Qiu, was not one to suffer in silence. She had done so much just to make Prince Qi take back his last words, allow the Liu family to participate in the imperial examination next year, and let Liu Zhang enter the six ministries. She had her eyes on the official position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Selections.
So, in his imagination, Qiu said anxiously:
"Now that Yu'er has become the prince's woman, when can you fulfill your promise to me?"
Mr. Chen Sanye Qiu didn't take him seriously at all, and didn't care whether he was present or not.
Liu Yu, who was hiding in the dark, was very unhappy when she heard her own name, but she was really happy. She had never been so happy in her two lifetimes combined.
Being overjoyed will reduce one's intelligence, and excessive happiness will lead to sorrow. This is what Qiu is talking about at this moment! Can't she see that Prince Qi's face is darker than an ink plate?
This is probably because he dislikes the life of Pingnan Marquis Mansion being too long.
Prince Qi was so nearly broken down by the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion that he laughed. Even giving away one's life would not be done in this way.
He walked up to Qiu, looked down at Qiu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked:
"Madam Liu, you are so impatient to come and get the reward, right?" He turned to look at Liu Zhang:
"Do you think so too, Marquis Pingnan?"
Liu Zhang shook his head in horror: "No, I don't want it..."
Hearing her son's answer, Qiu was puzzled. They had clearly agreed that after the matter was accomplished, Prince Qi would immediately fulfill his terms.
Even if Prince Qi is unhappy, with that damn girl Liu Yu to coax him, no big problem will arise.
Qiu suddenly realized that something was wrong. Even in such a situation, why didn't that damn girl Liu Yu say anything to comfort Prince Qi?
She looked up and found the woman in the dressing table. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at her, but when she did, she felt half scared out of her wits.
"This, this, Lu'er, why is it you?" This maid was specially chosen by her to monitor Liu Yu. She was wearing the clothes originally prepared for Liu Yu. So where was Liu Yu?
Without giving her time to think, he called the secret guard in:
"Since you want me to thank you so much, fine, I'll give it to you." As he said that, he shouted outside. Xiao Xizi and three guards immediately rushed in from outside and took care of the remaining guards from Pingnan Marquis' Mansion in the room.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zhang and Qiu ran out of the room in fear, but before they reached the yard, they were blocked by Xiao Xizi and his men.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, spare my life!"
Prince Qi was determined to teach them a lesson, so how could he just let them off like that?
But before he could make any move, a man walked in from the door of Fengya Pavilion, causing Prince Qi's expression to change.
Not only did Mr. Chen San know this person, but Liu Yu was also very familiar with him in his previous life. He was Lu Hu, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Dewu.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, you are really in the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion." Lu Hu first saluted Prince Qi, then nodded and greeted Master Chen San.
Prince Qi's expression changed again and again, and finally he could only smile and walk forward:
"Eunuch Lu, why are you here?"
"I, your servant, am summoning His Royal Highness Prince Qi to the palace to see you."
How did the emperor know that he was in Pingnan Marquis's mansion? Who revealed his whereabouts? His eyes swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at Master Chen San.
Master Chen San was not afraid at all to look Prince Qi in the eye. Yes, he was the one who revealed it, but he did not expect Lu Hu to come.
As soon as he learned that Prince Qi had secretly come to the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion, he sent someone to find the prince's confidant and revealed the news to the prince, but he concealed the fact that the person Prince Qi robbed was Liu Yu.
The prince loves his younger brother so how could he let him do something that would bring shame to the royal family?
However, he was surprised that the prince told the royal family about this matter.
Looking at Master Chen San's expression, there was nothing that King Qi didn't know. Originally, his hatred for Master Chen San was because he possessed Liu Yu and was a member of the Zhou faction.
This time, they really became enemies.
The same was true for Mr. Chen San. He did not want to have too much contact with the prince at this critical juncture.
But what about Prince Qi? He stole from his house while he was away. His behavior was truly hateful.
Lu Hu could see that the two men were confronting each other, but one was the prince born by the queen, and the other was a powerful official who had just made great contributions and was about to be reused by the royal family. He could not afford to offend either of them.
