Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 288
Chapter 288 It’s Home
Still have to struggle a bit?
No, this comforter is so soft and cozy, it’s better to have a comfortable bed at home, sleeping is just solid.
Home, home.
Why does that word sound so warm and fuzzy?
Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed while thinking about it, and the upper and lower eyelids of her originally wide-open eyes began to fight.
Chu Yunshen didn’t leave either, he was right by the bedside watching the lion cat that had curled up into a ball again out of habit meowing and murmuring.
The pair of danfeng eyes have long since lost the usual frost, there is just pure favor and infinite tenderness.
Only when the lion cat let out an even purr did Chu Yunshen gently leave the inner room, his robes even kept a watchful eye on them at all times for fear of making some kind of noise.
In fact, Cheng Xiaoxiao which is so easy to wake up, she is just a cat’s instinctive habitual sleep when the ears move around, but the people who care about it will take it for real.
By the time Chu Yunshen sat back down at the tea case again, the meal that Cheng Xiaoxiao said looked exquisite and delicious had long since gotten cold.
Chu Yunshen also did not call out to the kitchen to prepare again, and ate a few mouthfuls of hard rice on that vegetarian dish and then called for things to be removed, not forgetting to instruct the kitchen to simmer the fish soup and wait for his command.
The day is still early, in order to find Cheng Xiaoxiao Chu Yunshen is also busy all night, originally he did not feel tired, compared to the previous busy up day and night, a few days and nights have not closed their eyes situation, Chu Yunshen really feel that now these are just small things.
But for some reason, as long as he thought that the lion cat in the inner room was sleeping soundly, and that soft little body was still emitting the sound of ”purring and purring”, he couldn’t read the scroll in his hand right now, and his eyelids couldn’t help but want to close together.
Why don’t you sleep with her?
Thinking in this way Chu Yunshen also really walked to the bedside, but he also did not burrow into the quilt, just lay down beside the lion cat with his clothes on, and in no time he also let out an even breathing sound.
By the time Xiao Wu stepped up his time and came to knock on the door with information in a hurry, Chu Yunshen in the inner room and the lion cat on the side of his face were immersed in their respective dreams yet to turn awake.
Xiao Wu came to the house outside the night has been as thick as ink, he knocked at the door of the room over and over again, the house is really slow to come from the sound of footsteps.
The Lord is out this late?
Xiao Wu was puzzled and wanted to leave, but then he felt that something was wrong, he could still feel the internal energy from his own master fluctuating within the room yet.
But this shouldn’t be, according to the Lord’s sense of hearing, how could he fail to hear the knock?
Even if he didn’t hear it, he should be able to feel the internal breath on him.
After hesitating at the door for half a day, Xiao Wu still gritted his teeth and proceeded to knock on the door, and was not afraid to make the knocking sound louder on purpose.
He’d like to just walk away, but isn’t that what the situation calls for?
How urgent this information ah, in case of delay can not be he alone to get board so simple, so it is better to be hard on it!
Fortunately, Xiao Wu didn’t have to wait too long, although Chu Yunshen slept soundly, his alertness was still there, it just wasn’t as high as before.
Xiao Wu that knocking sound at the beginning of the door would have been very light, Chu Yunshen several days in front of him because of Cheng Xiaoxiao, plus those strange and bizarre dreams caused him to have some lack of sleep.
It just so happened that last night was another night of no sleep, so this would be the Chu Yunshen who could not easily sleep well enough to react for a moment.
This would be Xiao Wu’s knocking sound increased, originally tightly closed his eyes Chu Yun Shen suddenly woke up, he little by little moved the lion cat that was again pressing his face with his butt to the side, and he himself agilely turned around in one turn to get out of bed to go to the outer room.
He didn’t forget to straighten his robes as he walked around, and naturally, these were done after he had gone to the outer room.
The lion cat in the inner room was still sleeping heavily, smacking its lips and grinding its teeth from time to time, while Xiao Wu in the outer room had already handed Chu Yunshen the book he had rearranged.
Just now Xiao Wu left Chu Yun Shen’s room and then went to the dungeon of the Royal Palace, there is Mu Bai’s medicine in the dungeon of He LuLu has long been awake, but it looks like the whole person is still in a trance-like state.
Seeing Xiaowu without a human skin mask walked in, Herulu did not react at first, or Xiaowu opened his mouth to speak before Herulu realized Xiaowu’s identity.
“I’m going to take you back to Flower Street to find that fancy of yours.”
Xiao Wu walked up to He LuLu and finished this sentence very dryly, and then went up to open the shackles on He LuLu’s body quickly.
When this was done Xiaowu hurriedly retreated a few steps, not forgetting to throw the garment that was originally hanging on his arm to Heruru.
Herulu moved his arms and legs without any ambiguity, casually took the garment and changed himself into a good line in three tries.
“What do you guys want with Hope?” Waiting until Xiaowu and Herulu were almost at the Hu Ji Hall Herulu finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Wanted to ask her something, don’t worry, it has nothing to do with her.”
Xiaowu had changed into a new mask before leaving the house, and would be talking with the same smell of mutton skewers as Herulu.
He LuLu see Xiaowu is not willing to talk more also know the importance of this matter, naturally also vague did not ask further.
Hope really does know about the Hoochie being taken away, and although she’s been in the Hoochie Pavilion for a shorter period of time than Manny, she’s been getting a lot of attention from the pimps because of Heruru’s reputation amongst the Hoochies.
Because of this, Hope is treated better than the other hoochies and naturally knows a bit more.
Xiaowu wrote down all the news that Hope said in her book, and when He LuLu instructed Hope, she signaled He LuLu to hurry up and leave. Although she could see some clues, she didn’t dare to say anything, but just said goodbye to Heruru with tears in her eyes.
On her way out Hope kindly added a few words to Xiao Wu:
“This matter involves a great deal, as if the big boss behind the big head, no matter for what reason you want to investigate this matter, you have to remember to be careful with everything ah.”
Xiaowu naturally knew who the ‘big boss behind this’ was, but he just couldn’t explain more, and could only nod slightly at Hope to thank her for her kindness.
Returning to King Jing’s mansion again, Xiao Wu sends He LuLu back to his cell while he himself hurriedly goes to meet up with Listening Bamboo SongTao and the others.
Early in Xiao Wu went to find He Lu Lu at the same time, listen to bamboo Song Tao side also use the dark guard network in the capital city closely search up, this will be just with Xiao Wu report the information they get.
Waiting until all of this information had been consolidated Xiao Wu quickly went to find Chu Yunshen to report to him, which led to the scene of knocking on the door just now.
Good thing there wasn’t much delay, Chu Yunshen who had regained his mental clarity when he opened the door had now read the book handed up by Xiaowu in detail.
“My Lord, what Lion Cat said is indeed true. My subordinate took Heruru to the Hu Ji Pavilion and investigated again, and found that there were indeed Hu Ji with excellent character and appearance being secretly sent away at regular intervals.”
Xiao Wu bowed respectfully to Chu Yunshen and reported the things he had investigated from the beginning.
Hearing that Xiao Wu purposely went to confirm it Chu Yunshen just frowned, but did not say anything more.
Although Xiaowu saluted, his eyes had been stealing glances at Chu Yunshen’s face. When he glimpsed Chu Yunshen’s face as usual, only then did he let out a false sigh of relief and continued to report down:
“Hope said she had a close sister who was also picked, and although they haven’t been in touch since then, Hope met that hoochie on the street once.”
As if to emphasize that his visit to the Hoochie Pavilion to look for Hope to investigate was indeed effective, Xiao Wu purposely picks the news he got from Hope’s side first:
“That Hu Ji was even more beautiful than when she was in the Hu Ji Hall before, and she was surrounded by people in front and behind her. Yuan Yuan deliberately asked the onlookers in the capital and heard that that Hu Ji had become the favored concubine of the family of the Minister of the Ministry of War.”
“Oh? The Minister of War?”
Chu Yunshen answered with an uncertain meaning, but did not say anything more.
“It was Lord Zuo, the Minister of War. Also Hope said that that sister of hers was sent away five years ago, and it seems that there were other huji sent away earlier.”
As soon as Xiao Wu’s words fell, Chu Yunshen’s thin lips tightened together.
To have such a thing five years ago would mean that Chu Jingxiao had been deploying it since at least five years ago.
It was precisely because he knew the seriousness of the situation that Xiao Wu rushed over in such a hurry. Apart from the news from Yuan Yuan’s side, the news that Listening Bamboo and the others had poked around was even more frightening to contemplate.
“Listening to the bamboo side to find out that the eighth prince is from four years ago began to give the ministers of the dynasty to send Hu Ji, just this thing is very common, did not cause other people’s attention.” Xiao Wu thought about it or asked in puzzlement:
“The Eighth Prince gave all the Hu Ji to officials in the court, from the Minister of War down to the treasurer’s grain officer, but he obviously took the Hu Ji away five years ago or even earlier, so why did he only start acting four years ago?”
Chu Yunshen took the book Xiao Wu handed up in his hand again and flipped through it, returning Xiao Wu’s words as he did so:
“How can an ordinary huqi get on the stage, and besides, how do you know that he didn’t have these little maneuvers in the past? Don’t forget there are a few in the palace who are also his people.”
Only after Chu Yunshen reminded Xiao Wu of this did she understand the general idea, Chu Jingxiao had started cultivating these Hu Ji a long time ago, just waiting for the day when they could come in handy.
As for the people in the harem, it seems that there are really a few unassuming beauties that the Eighth Prince has ‘honored’ to His Majesty in recent years.
Xiaowu they will also update a roster and network of relationships on hand when new people enter the palace every year, those little tricks naturally cannot escape the eyes of a group of secret guards.
However, these other princes as well as the Emperor Chu Hongzhen will also be investigated clearly is that, it is not something rare.
“You just said that the people who were sent were extremely widely dispersed, but they were all court officials?”
Chu Yunshen read the book in his hand once more, and he gently closed it and placed it on the desk.
“Yes, and these officials are in fact with the eighth prince of close personal relations, these years is more directly become a faction of the eighth prince.”
Xiao Wu hung his head and reported with all his heart.
“Meh.”
Chu Yunshen actually laughed lightly, mocking with some scorn:
“Once Hu Ji is sent out, people will have an additional concubine as beautiful as a flower in their homes. Even if they don’t intend to have the intention to make friends, they won’t say a word against Old Eight.”
The arc of sarcasm at the corner of Chu Yunshen’s mouth had not yet subsided, and he actually added another sentence:
“Pulling people’s hearts together is indeed what Old Eight is best at.”
Xiao Wu nodded approvingly, and was also a bit surprised at the skills of the Eighth Prince Chu Jingxiao.
