Chapter 73 Rumors
Hearing Han Xu say that it was a serious matter, Lin Feng stopped joking with him and quietly went out to lead the horse.
The lights were on, and the streets of the royal city were indescribably prosperous. There were many people of all kinds on the streets, so the carriage was not moving fast.
In the car, Han Xu was thinking about what might happen later, but just as he was lost in thought, he was interrupted by a conversation outside the car.
"Have you heard that some people say that the new concubine favored by His Majesty is a demon, a demon concubine."
"You are talking about Concubine Ling, right? How could such a beautiful person be like that?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but I heard that someone found the body of General Wang Qian in the river."
"General Wang Qian?"
"That's right. I heard that it was because his son Wang Ran offended Han Xu, so Concubine Ling secretly found someone to take revenge."
"This is too far-fetched. Just because of the conflict between the younger generation, she killed a third-rank official?"
"A few days ago, Concubine Ling brought the Tiance Army to Jiuxiao Academy to make trouble for that useless brother. You didn't see how arrogant she was. ”
“Even if she dares to cause trouble at the Jiuxiao Academy, why can’t she kill Wang Qian?”
“Does she dare to do whatever she wants just because she is favored by the Emperor Wu?”
“Isn’t it? Otherwise, how can you say she is a demon? I heard that your majesty has long been bewitched by her magic. Back then, the prime minister and the queen were punished for secretly contacting the Tiance Army, but now there is a Tiance Army protecting the Concubine Ling at all times. Don’t you think your majesty has been bewitched by her mind?”
“Hearing what you said, it really makes sense.”
“If you don’t believe it, just wait and see. The world is probably going to be messed up by this demon concubine.”
Hearing this, Han Xu couldn’t help but feel angry for a while. How could her sister become a demon concubine?
How long has she been in the palace? Less than a month.
At first, Han Xu didn’t care too much, but along the way, the discussion about her sister being a demon concubine was heard from time to time.
The good mood that was originally because of Bai Yiyi disappeared without a trace.
Han Xu's face became a little gloomy, as if he could sense the atmosphere in the car. Lin Feng said through the car door: "Master, they are all ignorant fools. Don't take it to heart. It's just that some people are jealous of the young lady's favor."
"I'm fine." Although Han Xu said this, he still felt uncomfortable. He was worried that someone was secretly tripping up his sister.
Han Xu knew the horror of rumors. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. If there are too many people talking about it, I'm afraid Emperor Wu will have some ideas in his mind.
Since ancient times, beautiful women have caused many disasters. Whether in the past life or this life, people in history always like to blame the emperor's stupidity and incompetence on women.
The more he thought about it, the more Han Xu felt a breath stuck in his heart, and he wanted to find a place to vent.
Just like that, the carriage arrived at the gate of Fengxuan Pavilion. After Han Xu got off the carriage, Lin Feng prepared to park the carriage in the back yard as usual, but he heard Han Xu say: "Park the carriage here, follow me in."
"Master?"
"If you need it, you can help."
After that, Han Xu took the lead and walked in, and Lin Feng quickly followed after a brief moment of distraction. There seemed to be a relieved smile on his face.
Over the years, he has been guarding Han Xu, so he knows best how good Han Xu is, but Han Xu is too low-key. As a prince, he has always been known as a waste and endured the sarcasm of others.
Although he supports Han Xu's decision, he feels aggrieved for him in his heart, very aggrieved.
So, when he heard Han Xu's words just now, he was actually a little excited.
"Master, are you finally going to show off your talents?"
Fengxuan Pavilion was as crowded as ever. Outside the door, the girls dressed up in fancy clothes immediately greeted Han Xu with smiles.
In the past, Han Xu always responded enthusiastically and gave them generous tips.
But today, Han Xu had a dark face and ignored everyone. He said directly to a familiar girl, "Take me to find Hong Gu."
The girl was frightened by Han Xu's appearance.
The girl was frightened by Han Xu's appearance. She didn't expect that Han Xu, who always cherished women, would have such a frightening face.
She responded without hesitation and took Han Xu in.
Everyone could see that Han Xu was angry. Those who knew some inside information thought that Han Xu was angry about Bai Yiyi's matter, and wondered whether Bai Yiyi had encountered an accident and whether Han Xu came to Fengxuan Pavilion to settle accounts.
When she saw Han Xu, Hong Gu's eyes became sharper for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and she soon returned to her usual flattering expression.
She waved her fan, twisted her waist, which was not thin anymore, and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Han, please come in, please come in."
Hong Gu saw that Han Xu was not here with good intentions, and wanted to lead him to the private room upstairs to talk, but Han Xu was not prepared to give her face at all. His feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, and he didn't move a step.
Han Xu didn't hesitate, and said directly: "I came here today for one purpose, to get Bai Yiyi's indenture, I want to redeem her."
"Redeem her?" Not only Hong Gu, but all the guests and girls in the lobby were stunned.
Those who didn't know what happened the night before thought that Han Xu really planned to get all the four courtesans into his hands, not letting any of them go. Such a romantic thing, I'm afraid only this dandy young master could do it.
He redeemed the four courtesans and kept them around all day long. Aren't you afraid of humiliating the reputation of the King of Han?
But those who knew that Bai Yiyi blocked the poisonous snake's palm for Han Xu felt that it was natural, and that the grace of saving her life should be treated like this.
And those who knew the identity of the poisonous snake were truly shocked beyond words.
Han Xu came to ask for Bai Yiyi's indenture, which meant that Bai Yiyi was still alive.
It was incredible that she could survive the poisonous palm of the poisonous snake. If Han Xu was a master, it would be fine, but Han Xu was a person who could not practice.
Could it be that there was a strong man behind Han Xu who helped Bai Yiyi detoxify.
If this was true, then what a close relationship they had. After all, once the poison of the poisonous snake was touched, even the extraordinary strong might not be able to bear it.
Hong Gu was indeed a person who had seen the world. Not long after Han Xu finished speaking, she had already thought of many possibilities in her mind.
However, she still had a flattering smile on her face, and asked in a pretended surprise: "Mr. Han, do you mean that Yiyi is still alive?"
"Of course she is alive, otherwise why am I here?" Han Xu was a little impatient and said again, "Hurry up and get Yiyi's indenture contract. How much silver do you need? You name a price."
"Mr. Han, this is not a question of price or not." Hong Gu said, "You should also know that I am just the madam here. Yiyi is the most beautiful woman. It is not my turn to decide whether she stays or goes."
"I don't care. I must redeem Yiyi today, otherwise, I will demolish your Fengxuan Pavilion."
No one knows why Han Xu suddenly became so strong and unreasonable.
Usually, he is always very kind.
The smile on Hong Gu's face gradually became stiff, and her waist straightened up.
At this moment, she did not look like a madam of a brothel at all, but more like a heroic warrior.
Hong Gu looked at Han Xu deeply and said, "Mr. Han, Fengxuan Pavilion is a place for everyone to have fun, not a place where anyone can come to cause trouble."
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xu found that many black-clothed warriors appeared around him.
Some people quietly retreated when they saw that the situation was not right. Those who had some background and wanted to watch the fun were also invited out one by one by those black-clothed warriors.
The more powerful the people are, the more they know that Fengxuan Pavilion has an extraordinary background. There is no need to offend them just to watch the fun. After they went out, they did not leave because they were curious about how Han Xu planned to end today.
Soon, except for the people from Fengxuan Pavilion, only Han Xu and Lin Feng were left.
Dear readers, this book will be on the shelves tomorrow. Although I know that not many people read it and the collection is very bleak, I will continue to write it with a correct attitude and strive to write the following plot better. Every book is like the author's child. Even if the performance is not good, the author will not give up easily. So I will not complain about the poor performance of this book, and I will not give up. I also wrote a book on Chuangshi last year. The performance was not good, but it was completed normally with more than one million copies. The book cannot be found on Qidian now, but it can be found on QQ Bookstore. I say this just to prove that I am not a person who gives up easily. Please rest assured that friends who are willing to subscribe will not give up. Writing is my dream. I hope I am a person who lives for my dream.
In summary, after the book is put on the shelves tomorrow, please support me. I will also try to update a few more chapters. It's just that I am busy with work and I can't guarantee a specific number of chapters, but I will try my best.
Finally, thank you all for your company and support along the way, and I hope to walk with you on the road in the future.
