Chapter 861 The Prince Has Decided to Keep You
Calling him Young Master again made Jiang Youzhen think more.
However, the surname Kang is not uncommon, so we can't jump to conclusions. But the other party is definitely not a local, because just now Prince Yuanming asked the other party to play in the local area, which sounds like an outsider.
Combined with the other person's appearance, it is more likely that he is from the Western Regions.
Now that the imperial court has closed the trade, how could people from outside the pass come in? If they were really from Kangguo, then the young master of the other party had entered the pass, and Prince Yuanming not only did not report it, but also entertained him warmly, which was suspected of treason.
"Since things are not fully prepared yet..."
"Cough cough!" A light cough interrupted Prince Yuan Ming's words.
Jiang Youzhen looked over following the cough and found that it was still the person at the end of the table.
"My Lord, there are outsiders here."
Prince Yuan Ming then remembered the dancer behind him. He turned to Jiang Youzhen and said, "You go down first!"
"Yes!" After Jiang Youzhen saluted, he returned the wine jug to the myna and walked out.
She had a graceful figure, and her movements of saluting and retreating were as smooth as flowing water, showing that she had been well trained.
Prince Yuanming watched Jiang Youzhen leave the flower hall, and then winked at the starling behind him. The starling immediately put down the wine pot and followed him out.
"The prince almost leaked the secret just now. The woman said she was from Jiangnan, which is very suspicious. Is she the dancer in the mansion?" the middle-aged man asked.
Prince Yuan Ming then remembered that this woman was just bought by his wife and her identity was a little suspicious. It seemed that he had to investigate her thoroughly afterwards.
"No!" The prince shook his head.
"But she heard our conversation, and you just called our young master's surname." The middle-aged man was very dissatisfied.
"She is just a dancer. If you find anything wrong with her, just kill her. I have already sent someone to follow her."
Prince Yuan Ming was a little impatient, "The surname Kang is also very common in the Central Plains, and it does not reveal the identity of the young master."
"But we should be able to infer something from my young master's appearance, right? Please be more cautious, my lord. If we want our cooperation to last, we must not be negligent." Kang Jiu said.
"Yes! The prince took too much risk just now. How about this! You give the dancer to me and let me deal with her as I please?" Young Master Kang suddenly said.
"This girl belongs to my mansion, and I have the final say on how to deal with her. If she knows the secrets of the mansion, it would not be appropriate to hand her over to Young Master Kang. Young Master Kang, don't worry! I will deal with her properly."
"Haha!" A light laugh came from the side, and everyone looked and saw that it was made by Liu Shen.
A flash of sneer passed across his face. It was just because he was attracted by the beauty of the woman, but the two of them started fighting over it. It was really shameful.
He had a preliminary assessment of the character of Prince Yuanming. If he really couldn't bear to part with the beauty, he shouldn't let her out. Now that Young Master Kang really took a fancy to her, he couldn't bear to part with her again.
"Please enjoy your meal, I'll be leaving now!"
During the meal, the second person on the right stood up and apologized, which meant he was going to the toilet.
Jiang Youzhen left the flower hall and was soon pulled over by Yan's mother and taken to a side room.
"Wait here! I underestimated you. I didn't expect that they all wanted you. It's still unknown who you will be with in the end. But no matter what, you won't suffer any loss no matter who you follow."
There was a gloomy flash in Mother Yan's eyes. This was originally prepared for the distinguished guests, but who would have thought that the prince would also have thoughts about it?
The prince could have just sent the girl to the distinguished guest, but he didn't. He even offended Master Liu for this.
Alas! After all the planning, I didn't expect that I would end up causing trouble for my wife. Now it depends on whether the prince is willing to let go.
Jiang Youzhen was completely speechless. These words made her feel that women's lives in this world were really worthless.
"Keep her under guard for me. If anything happens to her, I'll hold you responsible." Mother Yan asked two guards to stand at the door and watch.
"Yes!"
Jiang Youzhen waited for her footsteps to fade away, then took a closer look inside the house. She went forward and pushed the window, but found that it was sealed shut and could not be opened at all.
That is to say, she couldn't get out except through the door.
This time she came in to gather information, but her identity was not suitable for her to stay any longer. It would be better to follow the original plan, disguise herself as a servant, and search the other party's study room late at night.
This Prince Yuanming is very suspicious, and the identity of that Young Master Kang must be not simple.
Thinking of this, Jiang Youzhen decided to stay in the room and wait until late at night before leaving.
Unexpectedly, a maid came and told her that the lady wanted to see her. Thinking back to what Madam Yan said, could it be that she was destined to be married to someone so soon?
Follow the maid forward and pass through a corridor, which is the way to the inner courtyard.
No, she couldn't stay here any longer. She'd better come to the study room at night later!
Plans are not as good as changes. Jiang Youzhen took advantage of the other party's inattention and jumped onto the treetop in a flash.
The maid was still walking quickly in front. "You must bow to the Madam when you see her. You must respond to whatever she says. Don't say anything extra. The prince has decided to keep you. In addition to the Madam, there is only one concubine in the mansion..."
The maid talked for a long time but didn't hear any movement behind her. When she turned around, she saw someone behind her. She screamed immediately.
Watching the maid below running out to look for someone, Jiang Youzhen used the force to jump over two trees and then jumped into a yard.
The Prince’s Mansion will be under martial law soon, so let’s quickly go to the study!
Jiang Youzhen entered the courtyard and was about to find a room to change into his night clothes when he ran into a man who had just come out of a room. This man was Ke Zhenqiu, an acquaintance that Jiang Youzhen had just met at the banquet.
Jiang Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and the other party obviously did not expect to meet her here and was also stunned.
Then the two heard a noisy voice coming from outside the courtyard, "You go look over here, the others go over there, we must find the person."
Jiang Youzhen saluted hastily and was about to turn around and leave when he said, "Everyone is looking for you outside now. If you leave this yard, you will be caught."
Jiang Youzhen paused and said in a pinched voice: "Master, I didn't want to be sold. I was captured and brought into the mansion. Please save me."
"How many of the dancers who were sold were willing? Do you think I would care about such trivial matters?"
Jiang Youzhen: ... I don't care why you talk so much nonsense? Wasting my time.
If Ke Zhenqiu hadn't been here, she would have gone into the house and changed into night clothes. It would have been easy for her to avoid the crowd and investigate the study.
"Master Ke, there's an assassin in your mansion, and we don't know which courtyard he has fled to. Please be kind enough to let us go into your courtyard and take a look." Suddenly, the voice of a guard came from outside the door.
