Chapter 207: Lord Crown Prince
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Just as he was about to go to bed, Prince Zhao heard the voices of his attendants outside. He dismissed the servant who was washing his feet, put on his shoes, and got out of bed, asking, "How is it?"
"Your Excellency, we found her!" The attendant clapped his thigh and said with a smile, "That woman was very easy to find. We found her in just one afternoon."
"Where is it?" Prince Zhao sat on the chaise longue, glanced at the maid standing beside the bed, and signaled her to go down.
The maid hurriedly lowered her head and left.
There were only two people in the room.
"How?" Prince Zhao asked impatiently.
"I found them," the attendant said, walking around the table and standing before Prince Zhao. "It wasn't hard to find them, actually. They're strangers, a man and a woman. The woman is impressive and truly beautiful, and she also has a precious pony. I made some casual inquiries and found out they're currently living in Huiquan Building."
"Huiquan Building?" That place is not cheap. Two outsiders actually dared to go into Huiquan Building, Prince Zhao muttered in a low voice.
"Yes, I also heard from everyone in the building that the woman was very generous and didn't seem like an ordinary person. Some people speculated that she was a daughter of a high-ranking official, but where did she come from?" the attendant sighed.
Prince Zhao recalled the woman's behavior and appearance and shook his head, saying, "No." However, he didn't care about the woman's appearance. What mattered was the horse. He asked, "Then, where is the precious colt? Where is it?"
"The precious colt is kept in the stable behind Huiquan Building." After saying this, the attendant sighed, "I just gave some silver to the waiter and went to take a look. My God, compared to that horse, how come the ones in the stable back home don't even compare to it? Not to mention a single hoof, even the horses put together can't compare to a single hoof of that one. Oh my God, it's a really good horse, a really good horse!"
Listening to his followers sighing, Prince Zhao could no longer sit still. He stood up and paced around the room anxiously.
"Of course I know it's a good horse. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have asked you to go to so much trouble to find it."
"Then, what does Prince Zhao plan to do?" The followers were also curious.
Everyone in the imperial capital knew that Prince Zhao loved horses. But so what? That horse wasn't his.
"I don't know either." Prince Zhao sat back in his chair in frustration, muttering, "What if I buy it? Can I buy that horse?"
"I'm afraid not." The attendant shook his head and said, "I heard from the waiter that the woman was very generous and didn't seem to be short of money. Besides, you can see that horse can't be bought with money." He had considered it before, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "They say power and money, power and money. If money doesn't work, then can power be used?"
"no!"
Speaking of this, Prince Zhao felt a dull pain in his back and shook his head, "If my father knew about this, wouldn't I get another beating? No, no!"
Now both of them fell into deep thought. How could they get this horse into their own hands?
Finally, Prince Zhao felt an itch in his heart, like a few cats scratching and scratching. He couldn't help but stand up and said through gritted teeth, "I'll change my clothes while you prepare the horse. I want to go and see which horse it is."
If he didn't see that horse again, he would be itching to death.
"But, but it's curfew now!"
"Never mind, never mind!"
Prince Zhao didn't care about anything else and stood up and asked the maid to come in and change his clothes.
This little ancestor really started making a fuss, and the attendants couldn't stop him. They had no choice but to follow his advice and help keep a close eye on him to prevent him from causing any trouble.
Prince Zhao changed his clothes and put on a cloak. Under the moonlight, he rode his favorite horse all the way to Huiquanlou. After getting off the horse, he didn't care about anything.
"Prince Zhao!"
I arrived just in time, as the whole building was about to close.
Huiquanlou was a premier restaurant in the imperial capital, with countless dignitaries dining there. Prince Zhao was a lively and playful man who frequented the place, so they naturally recognized him.
"Prince Zhao!" The waiter didn't dare close the door and hurried out to greet him, bowing and saying, "Why are you here? Prince Zhao, what's going on?"
Prince Zhao casually threw out a piece of silver and asked, "I want to see that horse!"
The waiter reached out to take the change and nodded, saying, "It's in the stable at the back, please come in." He got another piece of change, today was a good day.
I received one month's salary from him today, which is really great.
Arriving at the stables, Prince Zhao immediately saw the black horse he had been longing for. In the moonlight, the horse looked like a divine steed from heaven.
"Oh my god." Prince Zhao didn't care about anything else and ran over to the outside of the stable. He was stunned. He was staring at a horse.
This horse is truly the most majestic one Prince Zhao has ever seen in his life.
The attendant sighed on the side. Not to mention the horse-loving Prince Zhao, even he would be moved by the sight of this horse.
Xuanyun had known someone was coming, but since it was just a mortal, he didn't take it seriously. He continued to sleep standing up, ignoring the person who came.
Prince Zhao stretched out his hand to touch the horse's head, but the horse suddenly snorted in fear and shrank back, not daring to get close for a while.
"Prince Zhao's horse has a very fierce temper and won't let anyone get close to it. Don't take any risks, it's better to stay away from it." The waiter reminded.
It would be strange if such a precious horse didn't have a fierce temper. Prince Zhao withdrew his hand and could only stare at it eagerly. He was really tempted, but he didn't know how to approach it.
"I shouldn't have looked at it earlier. The more I look at it, the more I want it." Prince Zhao sighed.
He was envious, but the thing was not his. In the end, there was no other choice. Prince Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "No, I must get this horse! No matter what the cost!"
He has decided on this horse.
"Chi——" Xuanyun expressed his disdain. Just because you are a mortal, you want me?
I am Master Lin’s demon beast, who do you think you are! The black python also developed a little bit of consciousness in Master Lin’s sea of consciousness, and was no longer the reckless demon beast it used to be.
Lin Xuxi, holding the Hidden God Technique in her hand, had already sneaked into the palace.
The palace had expanded considerably since she left. She followed her memory of her father's bedroom and discovered that it had become a study, not the bedroom it once was.
"Where could it be?" Lin Xuxi would first explore the entire palace tonight, and then see where to find that thing. She couldn't just run around like a headless fly.
When I came back, it was already dawn.
"Master Lin, someone has been watching me all night! Come and save me!"
Lin Xuxi just came back and heard Xuanyun's cry for help. She opened the door and went out, just as the door outside had just opened.
"Wow, sir, you're up really early!" The waiter came over and said with a smile, "If you want anything for breakfast, just tell me to bring it to you. The dim sum here is really famous in the whole building."
