Here, Qianru stayed out all night, went to Xiangxiang and couldn't find any peach blossoms, and couldn't find any at Zhao Xianer's house either. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
She went to Shangguan Mansion for help, but she couldn't even knock on the door.
I had no choice but to go to Zhao Xian'er's house again to find half a peach blossom.
Thinking that Qianru might have gone home, she ran home again, but there was still no one.
One night, I rode a carriage and searched most of the capital, wiping my tears anxiously several times.
"Sister, if you don't show up, I'm going to report you to the police!"
"Girl, my horse doesn't have much fodder. I'm afraid it needs a rest."
"What will happen to my sister when you rest?"
Xiangxiang thought, this is not the way to go.
The capital is too big. If you look for this place and miss that place, you still have to rely on powerful people.
Recalling that among the powerful people she had met, the one who was most susceptible to her crying trick was Sun Ji, the eldest son of Prince Gui.
But it was so late, and he had already fallen asleep soundly with his lovely wife and concubine in his arms, so how could he pay attention to this humble dancer like himself?
Moreover, Qianru offended King Gui, maybe because King Gui was missing.
This is how to do ah?
After much deliberation, she realized that she really had to find Prince Gui's Mansion.
But how do you get in at night?
She rolled her eyes and climbed over the wall.
So she used money to ask the coachman to help find a ladder and quietly moved it to the back alley of the palace.
"Don't tell me. If I'm caught, I'll tell you that you gave me the ladder and let me go in and steal the things."
"Young people will never talk too much unless"
He wanted money, so Xiangxiang readily gave him ten taels of silver and sent the coachman away cheerfully.
Then, climb up the ladder and carefully look inside, looking for an unguarded and easy place to jump in.
This requires a trick.
The trick is to use the broken silver you have to smash it.
Very few thieves would have the courage to enter such a powerful family and commit murder.
When the guards are tired from patrolling, the most common thing they do is squat under the wall to rest, which not only helps them be lazy but also prevents theft.
At this time, in order not to be discovered by the owner, their lanterns were extinguished.
Very difficult to identify.
If you use stones to hit you, you will inevitably be chased if you are discovered, but it is different if you use money to hit you. Who would have trouble with money?
Even if they are discovered, they are usually let off with magnanimity.
But this is just a little bit of superficial experience Xiangxiang accumulated while climbing the wall in Jiangnan.
Before she was sure whether this trick would work in the capital, she was very cautious. She stepped out cautiously, threw it away and hid it quickly. She didn't dare to jump in until she was sure it was safe.
Prince Gui’s Mansion is not the kind of dragon pond and tiger den that you imagined!
After she jumped in, she paused for a moment and then began to carefully search for it.
Prince Gui's Mansion is very big, but very quiet.
So much so that the slightest movement is very noticeable.
Although she moved lightly, because she was not familiar with the place, she would inevitably run into this or that, which would attract the attention of the patrolling guards.
Fortunately, a few meows covered it up.
This is due to the fact that her meows are so acoustically vivid and sweet that they do not arouse any suspicion.
She hid quietly and listened to the guards saying that the eldest son, Sun Ji, had been coughing very badly in the past few nights, so she pricked her ears to listen for the cough.
Not long after, I really found it.
Changsun Ji lived alone in a large and spacious courtyard, which was brightly lit, but the servants who served him were huddled in the corner and dozing off.
Xiangxiang looked around quickly, then flashed in and leaned over to the window to take a look.
She was so sick that she could smell the smell of medicine and phlegm from several feet away.
Changsun Ji was lying on the edge of the bed, his face distorted by coughing.
But the servant serving him just patted him on the back carelessly, not thinking of any other ways to help him.
Those coughing sounds seemed to be coughing out the whole lungs, which made the people who heard it panic.
"Meow meow."
She meowed a few times to lure the servants out, and then took advantage of the opportunity to climb in through the window.
Changsunji saw her suddenly appearing and thought he was hallucinating.
After a moment, he realized it was a real person, and his face became even more distorted.
"Why are you here at this hour?"
"I was passing by and heard you coughing, so I climbed over the wall and came in to have a look. Your coughing was so loud that I could hear it from several streets away."
Changsunji looked around her and found her butt and the soles of her shoes were covered with moss. He was happy and said, "Come here, catch this little thief who climbed over the wall."
"No, I'm just here to see you." Seeing the servant chasing the cat come in, Xiangxiang hurriedly went to pat Changsun Ji on the back, "I'm here, you go and have a rest!"
The man saw Chang Sun Ji wave his hand and stepped back wisely.
"I can't find a woman as bold as you in the entire capital. Tell me, do you want to ask me for something?"
"Yes, but seeing as you cough so hard, I'd better give you a pat on the back first!"
This unintentional flattery is truly stunning.
Changsun Ji was happy and his cough got better. "You must have something extremely important to come to me over the wall now. Tell me!"
After all, there was no friendship, so Xiangxiang was afraid that he would not agree, so he went to feed Changsun Ji some pear soup that was simmering on the stove, and shed tears while feeding him.
Changsunji was so distressed that he quickly snatched the soup from her hand and put it aside, "Let's talk, while I'm still alive."
"Your Highness, did you arrest my sister An Qianru?"
"No way?" Changsun Ji suspiciously called a few servants in to ask, and they all said that no outsiders had been in the house today. "I understand my father. He could listen to my advice and keep An Qianru out that day.
, I will never pay attention to her again."
"Really?"
"Of course, you know your father better than your son. You can rest assured that your sister is definitely not in the hands of my father."
Hearing Changsun Ji speak so confidently, Xiangxiang felt much more at ease, but he still couldn't help crying with worry, "I've looked everywhere I can, but I just can't find it. She won't be harmed, right?"
Changsun Ji saw her crying so much that he quickly got up to coax her and enlighten her.
Xiangxiang told him the whole story, "She didn't come back, and Zhao Xian'er wasn't at home either. Could Zhao Xian'er have taken her?"
"Your sister is Zhao Xianer's cash cow. How could she be harmed before she can be coaxed? Just go back and wait. If you don't see anyone by noon tomorrow and come back to me, I will search the capital to help you find her."
Xiangxiang burst into tears of gratitude and brought the pear soup to Changsun Ji.
The more Changsun Ji looked at her, the more comfortable he felt. Unknowingly, he forgot to cough and was coaxed to sleep by Xiangxiang.
The servants waiting outside the door all praised Xiangxiang for his ability and bright future.
Xiangxiang was very sleepy and didn't listen much. He just said a few words and left quickly.
At this time, it was already dark.
There are more and more pedestrians on the road.
Xiangxiang had spent all the money he had with him, so he had no choice but to go back on foot.
As she walked, she rubbed her eyes and yawned, when she suddenly saw Zhao Xianer's carriage passing by.
"Stop, stop, Zhao Xian'er"
She shouted several times and saw that the car did not stop. Annoyed, she took off her shoes and ran to smash them.
Unexpectedly, his skills were too superb, and both shoes hit the driver on the head.
The coachman turned back to glare at her in annoyance, causing the horse to wander off and almost hit the wall.
