Chapter 112 Golden Bell
The officials patted their butts and left, and the convicts continued on their journey, vowing to take refuge in Taoyuan Village.
Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng didn't know that someone else was going to join them, and they were shopping in Jinping County at the moment.
The group booked three inns and decided to rest here for two days, earn some money and buy some supplies.
……
……
The capital, the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The fifth prince Xiao Qi stared at the two-finger-wide piece of paper in front of him, with an expression of ecstasy on his face.
As long as he catches this "Yu Chengying", his father will be very happy. Then let's see how the sixth and seventh brothers can compete with him?
He was still an infant when the Eastern Palace treason occurred. Later, he vaguely heard from his mother that his father hated the late crown prince to the core and had been tracking down the late crown prince's descendants until a few years ago when he withdrew his forces.
If Father knew that the late Crown Prince really had descendants alive...
Thinking of himself wearing a dragon robe and walking step by step towards the dragon throne, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Soon his face suddenly turned cold again.
I originally thought that the sixth brother was really a non-confrontational person, but I didn't expect that the barking dog would bite. If it weren't for the incident at the mine last time that exposed him, he wouldn't have known that this usually low-key sixth brother actually had such ambitions.
He picked up the note again and looked at it, then finally held it over the candle flame, lit it, and watched it turn into ashes.
……
……
"The Sixth Prince has gone to Wu County!" Liu Pianran stood up suddenly, knocking over the small carved round stool behind her.
Jin Ling knelt on the ground and bowed her head, ashamedly saying: "To answer the goddess, your highness left a few days ago. I am incompetent and only got the news today."
Liu Pianran raised her eyebrows and was about to lose her temper, but then she remembered her mother's words and dug her nails into her palms, finally suppressing her temper.
She stepped forward and helped Jin Ling up, then turned around and took out a pair of pearl earrings from her jewelry box and stuffed them into her hands. "Well done, I'll give you a credit. When I ascend to heaven, I will definitely take you with me."
Jin Ling's cheeks flushed with excitement. She knelt down again and kowtowed, "Thank you, Goddess!"
Liu Pianran didn't help her anymore, and said calmly, "Go out, let my mother come over when she has time."
Jin Ling retreated respectfully and prepared to leave the house through the back door to go to Liu Mingwu's shop.
As they passed a rockery, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and pulled her into the dark.
Seeing the person pulling her, Jin Ling said sternly, "Mo Zhu, what are you doing?"
Mo Zhu was the Sixth Prince's personal servant. This time when the Sixth Prince went to Wu County, he only brought his younger brother Mo Song with him, leaving him in the mansion as his eyes and ears.
"What? I miss you. I want to kiss you." Mo Zhu grabbed Jin Ling's not-so-delicate hand and couldn't help stroking it a few times.
Jin Ling raised her eyebrows and pulled her hand back, "Believe it or not, I will tell the goddess that you flirted with me."
The disgust in her eyes did not seem fake, but it immediately irritated Mo Zhu.
"You climbed into my bed on your own initiative last night, and now you're turning your back on me. Great! I didn't expect that the pure goddess would be surrounded by such a fickle bitch!" Mo Zhu was furious. It was clearly this woman who seduced him, and now she was pretending to be a chaste heroine and turning the tables on him. Was she kidding him?
Jin Ling ignored his insults and didn't even bother to look at him. She reminded him coldly, "You can either go and tell His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince that our goddess is a guest invited by His Royal Highness, and I am the goddess's personal maid. Who do you think will have a bad ending if things get out of this?" Besides, the goddess said that when she ascends to heaven, she will wash away the filth on her body. She has nothing to fear.
Jinling’s original name was not Jinling, but Caoya. She was the wife of a blacksmith and was pregnant with the blacksmith’s posthumous child when she fled.
Only three days after she gave birth to her daughter, her mother-in-law and brother-in-law secretly took her daughter away and exchanged her for 20 kilograms of beans. When she went to look for her daughter, her daughter had already entered someone else's belly.
She went back to argue, but was beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law and bullied by her brother-in-law.
Just when she was in despair, Liu Pianran descended from the sky with her guards and saved her from the dire straits.
She firmly believed that Liu Pianran was the incarnation of a goddess, otherwise how could she have found her, saved her, and accurately predicted so many things afterwards.
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that Liu Pianran found her not just to save her, but to use her for his own purposes.
In Liu Pianran’s previous life, Jinling was a sharp blade in the hands of the Fifth Prince and did a lot for him.
In this life, she must of course take this sharp blade into her own hands.
Liu Mingwu also agreed with her approach and taught her many ways to win people's hearts. Now the maids around her were all capable subordinates of the Fifth Prince in his previous life. Now they are all loyal to her and willing to give everything for her.
Mo Zhu's face turned pale and blue. Since the goddess was useful to his master, he didn't dare to disrespect her. Moreover, he had revealed the whereabouts of the prince to Jin Ling last night. If the prince knew... thinking of the Sixth Prince's methods, he couldn't help but shudder.
Jin Ling patted the non-existent dust on her shoulder and walked out of the rockery cave without looking around.
She straightened her back and raised her chin slightly.
The lady said that they went out to represent the face of the goddess.
Mo Zhu watched her back as she walked away, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.
Suddenly, a voice came from above my head, "I said, do you really need to take this seriously? She's just a woman who came to my door, do you really take it seriously?"
Mo Zhu looked up and met Yin Wu's interested eyes.
He touched his nose angrily, "What do you know? I just can't stand being played around by her."
Yinwu sneered, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, "Did you know that she has slept with all of us? You are the only one who is stupid."
He shook his head as he spoke, and looked like he really deserved a beating.
After hearing no sound from below for a long time, Yin Wu poked his head out and saw Mo Zhu looking like he was about to cry, so he simply turned over and jumped down.
"Oh, she's just a woman, but she insisted on finding out the whereabouts of our prince. We got the benefit, so we can tell what we can, and it's not our fault if we can't." Yin Wu smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the experience.
Mo Zhu glared at him, "How dare you reveal His Highness's whereabouts?"
Yin Wu rolled his eyes without any hesitation, thinking that no wonder His Highness brought Mo Song with him when he went out, Mo Zhu was just a slow-witted guy. Of course, he had His Highness's approval, otherwise how could he dare to tell Jin Ling, did he have nine heads to chop off?
"This was the instruction from His Highness. You have followed His Highness for so long, don't you know what kind of person His Highness is?" Yin Wu patted Mo Zhu's shoulder and wanted to give him some advice, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea.
He is the Sixth Prince's secret guard and has no responsibility to teach servants for His Highness.
You just need to convey everything that happened in the mansion to His Highness, and then carry out the orders given by His Highness.
