Chapter 53 Superficial Cooperation
Lou Xiyue's tone was a little stiff, Fu Guan only looked at her calmly, and then let go of his hands.The two stood facing each other, neither of them speaking.

A weird atmosphere spread between the two.

On the contrary, the woman who threw the hydrangea gave an "ouch" in surprise, then looked at Fu Guan, then at Lou Xiyue, and then became amused: "I didn't expect that there were two people who received the hydrangea. The girls are homely, but the other one is unbelievably handsome."

The girl tugged at her sleeves twice, and said with a smile, "I'm flattered to be loved by two benefactors. I just don't know which of the two will come first?"

She pointed behind her, her figure was swaying, and her manner was full of charm: "The wing room has already been prepared, why don't you two come with me?"

When the woman was speaking, the guests who were competing for the hydrangea in the hall stopped their movements one after another.They looked towards Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.

"Who are these two people, just look at them."

——This is a stinking, vulgar person who throws money into the inner courtyard of the tea house by relying on the bad money in his family.

But in this Jasmine Hall, there are many officials of the Daxuan Dynasty.Even though they were not high-ranking officials, there were none of the civil and military officials in the capital that they didn't recognize.

Someone recognized Fu Guan at a glance, and his expression changed immediately: "Shut up, that is the celebrity in front of the Holy Majesty, if you talk too much, you will lose your life!"

After the man finished speaking, Fu Guan swept his eyes and landed on him.

In an instant, the man's scalp felt numb, and he was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.He bravely stepped forward, saluted Fu Guan, and said, "Why did your lord come to this place? The place is full of smog, it really doesn't suit your status as a lord."

Hearing this, the corners of Fu Guan's mouth twitched slightly: "It turns out that Mr. Gao also knows that this is a place full of smog, and you really have a sense of elegance."

"This... Your Excellency is just joking, I..." The sweat on Mr. Gao's head was slipping: "I just wandered around and had fun. Unlike you, Sir, you are busy with many things. Entering here, there is Do you want to do business?"

Fu Guan: "Master Gao can guess. Don't worry, I'm not here to take you today." He looked at everyone in the hall and said, "You are just playing with you. I have something to do with her. If you want to talk, don't bother."

As he spoke, he pressed Lou Xiyue's shoulder and said, "My lord, please take a step to speak."

At this time, Lou Xiyue also recovered and calmed down.She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, then stepped aside and said, "Yes, please."

The woman on the stage failed to stop them, and could only watch the two leave one after the other, regretfully saying: "Hey, why are you leaving, I haven't entertained you well yet."

*
The Fragrant Tea House is a place of fireworks, and it is really difficult to find a secluded place suitable for talking.

It took Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan some time to detour before they found a pavilion and sat down to talk.

"At this time, Madam should have a good rest in the palace. Why did you come to the Fragrance Tea House?" Fu Guan looked at her: "Madam does one thing in front of her face and another behind her back. She is good at acting, but she deceives everyone. It's over."

Originally Xuan Yi should have stared at her, but the woman actually threw Xuan Yi away and came to the Fragrant Tea House by herself, which shows that there was some trick.

Although she is not clear about her purpose of coming here, Fu Guan speculates that the reason for "Ban Xiyu" coming here must be related to the assassin who appeared at the Flower Moon Banquet today.

Lou Xiyue lowered her gaze, avoiding Fu Guan's gaze, sighed, and said:
"I know that what I did today has aroused the suspicion of the prince. But even if the prince misunderstood me, I have to say - the reason why I came to the Fragrant Tea House to avoid the eyes and ears is actually another reason. Please pay attention to the prince. , understanding."

Fu Guan: "You and I are the only ones here, so Madam doesn't have to play charades with me. Why did you come here, and what news did you get? Did you know the identity of the assassin? Please tell me clearly."

"Assassin?" Lou Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't know about this. So, the prince really misunderstood. I don't know the origin and identity of the assassin. I came here for another matter."

She changed her voice and said again: "However, the assassin was mentioned in the prince's words. It must be that the identity of the assassin is related to the tea house? Who is the assassin and who is behind the instigation, the prince can find out?"

Fu Guan: "Now I'm interrogating you, but you're asking me. If Madam wants to know the truth, I'd better get rid of the suspicion on you first."

Lou Xiyue: "I haven't committed any crime, how can I clear my suspicions. But the prince wants to know, so I have no choice but to tell my secrets one by one."

Her expression was quite helpless, and she lowered her head, looking very worried: "My lord asked me earlier, where did I learn the martial arts on my body. I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't fully tell the truth at that time." .”

"Oh?" Fu Guan lifted his robe and sat down, looking at her leisurely: "What's the explanation? Why did Madam lie to me?" He smiled:
"Madam said that husband and wife are one body and support each other. But in fact, she doesn't trust me. She treats me like an outsider."

Lou Xiyue: "No, it's not that I don't trust the prince, it's just that I don't know how to explain it. The one who taught me martial arts back then was a veteran who followed my father to participate in the battle of Guicheng.

"I once heard him mention that there was something strange hidden in the battle of Guicheng back then. It was someone in the Xuan Dynasty who quietly passed the strategy of the battle to Rong Guo, and my father and other soldiers were trapped in Guicheng."

Lou Xiyue explained: "At that time, Master brought this secret back to Huaijiang Mansion, but because of this secret, he was murdered. He taught me martial arts for several months, and then disappeared.

"I investigated secretly and found his residence, but I saw only mess and blood everywhere. I guessed that Master died in vain.

"Now that I'm in the capital, I see the assassin from Huayue Banquet rushing towards me, so I speculate that the assassin today may be related to the old case more than ten years ago."

Fu Guan only felt that her words were full of loopholes: "But even so, why did you find the Fragrant Tea House? Could it be that the assassin told you that he came from this place?"

After making up a complete set of stories, Lou Xiyue naturally has an excuse to answer: "No. Among the officials I have investigated who have dealings with Master, one of them has been in and out of here, so I came to investigate."

Fu Guan asked, "Who is that person?"

Lou Xiyue said the only truth today: "I heard that the lord's surname is Qiu, and his name is Qiu Zhi. I came here today to investigate him."

Hearing this, Fu Guan let out a soft "huh" and said, "You are indeed bold. When a woman disguises herself as a man and comes to this low-class place, you are not afraid of being spotted by the old bustard here, and they will keep you here. When the time comes, call The sky should not respond, the earth will not work, even the gods will not be able to save you."

Lou Xiyue: "But didn't I happen to meet the prince now?"

"That means you're lucky."

There was a smile in Lou Xiyue's eyes, and she gritted her teeth in her heart: "It is indeed a blessing for me to meet the prince." It's really unlucky, it seems that today I can only return without success.

 Check it out later, it's not finished yet

  It's over. It's over.I'll see the situation tomorrow, if I get up early and write more, if I can't get up then... just follow the usual practice.
