Chapter 362 The Beautiful Courtesan Attracts the King's Heart 7
Chu Yuan believed what he said. Anyone who could be reborn must have good fortune. Maybe his adopted brother really had this ability now.
But this is a matter related to the original owner's wish, and Chu Yuan can't delegate this matter to anyone else.
"Nian'er, I know you want to share the burden with me, but you are still young and it is time for you to study hard. You must not get involved in this storm."
Neither of them wanted the other to be involved in this matter, but they didn't know that they were already deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Chu Yuan was originally a secret guard under the prince, so needless to say.
As for Chu Nian, when he took the initiative to appear in the sight of the prince's party, he was already regarded as a chess piece in their hands.
As a chess piece, the most important thing is to be obedient. If you are found to have any ulterior motives, the final outcome will be death.
Chu Nian is not afraid of death, and of course, he will not die.
But if he showed any abnormality, Chu Yuan, as the direct contact, would certainly be suspected.
As long as there are people they care about living in this world, they will be restrained. This is true for the brother and sister Chu Yuan and Chu Nian.
They don't want the other to get hurt, but at the same time they have secrets that cannot be known to others. Many times, misunderstandings arise like this.
Some things cannot be said, Chu Nian could only stand by and worry. God knows that in just these few short seconds, he had already come up with the idea of knocking his sister out and taking her away.
It's just that he was afraid that his sister would be angry afterwards, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Sister, you really won't come with me?"
"Be good, Nian'er. I promise you that I will come find you after I find out the truth of the matter. Then, we will avenge our parents together."
Seeing that her elder sister had made up her mind, Chu Nian didn't say anything else.
The two met for a very short time. After they talked for a while, someone came to take Chu Nian away.
Before leaving, he used his body to cover the way and stuffed a token and a piece of paper with an address into Chu Yuan's hand: "Sister, if you need help, you can find me here."
Afterwards, Chu Nian was taken away from the villa by the prince's men, and Chu Yuan also followed the maid back to his room, ready to pack up and leave.
"Xuan Ji, have you met your brother?"
"Reporting to the leader, I have seen it. I will definitely be grateful to the prince for his great kindness."
"Well, that's great. The prince has a mission for you to do. Pack up and get ready to go."
"Yes, I will take your orders."
It was the same in the previous life. After the original owner met the impostor, he received a new task as soon as he returned to the room.
The plan was to have her disguise herself as a man and sneak into the residence of a court official to obtain intelligence.
At the same time, they waited for an opportunity to strike, using the petals of the mandala as a lure, causing the official surnamed Li's mind to be invaded by toxins, leaving him in a trance-like state all day long, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. In short, he went crazy.
The task Chu Yuan received was no different from that in her previous life, so the next morning, she appeared in the slave market dressed as a man.
The information she got was that the old lady of the Li Mansion was coming to the slave market today to select slaves. This would be a great opportunity for her to enter the Li Mansion. In her previous life, the original owner successfully aroused the sympathy of the old lady Li by fabricating a miserable life experience, and was successfully selected by her and bought into the Li Mansion.
Chu Yuan originally thought that he only needed to imitate others in this life, but he didn't expect that something unexpected would happen.
"This prince wants this man, just send him directly to the Marquis' Mansion."
Ah this... Chu Yuan didn't expect to meet the prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery here, and what he didn't expect was that he would buy him with a wave of his hand.
To be honest, Chu Yuan was a little tempted. If he could take this opportunity to sneak into the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, it would be much better than the Li Mansion.
In the moment she hesitated, the servants beside Zhou Xianjin had already paid the money and received the deed. It was too late to regret now.
If Chu Yuan didn't want his identity to be exposed, he could only obey.
In fact, what she didn't know was that at the first sight of her, Zhou Xianjin had already recognized her as the person who visited the Marquis' Mansion day and night.
Xu Liu, this name is too carelessly chosen, and it sounds like a misleading pseudonym.
Now that she has changed her clothes and appeared in the slave market, she must have other plans. Considering that he had just seen Li Mansion's carriage driving towards this side, Zhou Xianjin understood that they were targeting Li Mansion.
As far as he knew, the Minister of Revenue had secretly surrendered to the Ninth Prince and was now in the same camp as him.
Moreover, since it concerns his eldest sister, Zhou Xianjin cannot just sit back and do nothing.
Holding the idea that dangerous people should be kept by one's side and watched over, Zhou Xianjin paid money to buy the person.
This kid is quite expensive. Just a servant, but he cost him 10 taels of silver.
This guy didn't even know how to disguise his appearance. Based on his looks, the broker probably wanted to sell him to some gay young men.
As far as Zhou Xianjin knew, the second young master of the Li Mansion seemed to have this special hobby.
This action of mine saved him from the dire straits.
"Tingfeng, send him back to Xuanwuyuan and arrange some work for him to serve tea and water." The implication was to give him a chance to approach his study openly.
You can't get the tiger cub without entering the tiger's den. You have to give him an opportunity to take advantage of it so that you can see what his real purpose is.
So by accident, Chu Yuan successfully sneaked into the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Even she herself was a little confused. This matter was going too smoothly.
The mission can be completed at any time, but the opportunity to enter the Marquis' Mansion openly is not always available, especially the Prince's Xuanwu Courtyard, which is heavily guarded. Normally, if even a needle falls in, its source will be immediately investigated, not to mention a living person.
Of course, Chu Yuan would not be so confident as to think that it was because of her great charm that the prince of the marquis's mansion fell in love with her at first sight among a group of servants.
However, the reason behind this is not important. What is important is that, through this opportunity, she can find out whether the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has any connection with the tragedy of the Chu family that year, so as to confirm some of her guesses.
After entering Xuanwuyuan, Chu Yuan was arranged in the study, specifically to serve the prince's writing.
This made her alarm bells ring. She must have revealed some flaw that aroused the prince's suspicion.
Chu Yuan guessed most of Zhou Xianjin's thoughts, but at the same time, she suppressed her own restless thoughts and decided not to act rashly before figuring out the situation.
So within a few days of arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, Chu Yuan completely treated himself as a child from a poor family. He was usually taciturn and only cared about his work, conscientiously maintaining his own persona.
But what she didn't know was that Zhou Xianjin found her appearance very funny.
