Chapter 181 The Traitor in the Drunken Red Mansion
Knowing when to quit, Ye Zihu told Bai Suian what he had been asked to do.
Ye Lingche's anger faded visibly.
He whispered, "Sui'an, this isn't a bad thing..."
"But you should understand how many people's cakes were affected by her proposal."
"Then I'll pay for it. Whether it's a school or a shelter, I'll hire people to run the boys' and girls' schools. Those homeless people can also come to work with me. I'll help Sui'an get everything done, so there won't be too many people who object.
This is a good thing. Only those with impure intentions would be considered bad people by Sui An. "
Ye Zihu felt slightly relieved and said, "Then your brother's position is secure. Ye Lingzhuo has won over many ministers in the court over the years. They are always urging the throne of the Eastern Palace to change owners like mosquitoes. It's so annoying."
"It's because you didn't find the person that he had the opportunity to take advantage of you." Ye Lingche retorted in a low voice.
Ye Zihu heard the words clearly.
"What's the point of bringing him back? I don't know who in the palace is harming him. With so many children at home, can he still protect them all?"
Thinking about how his son had always been estranged from him, Ye Zihu was also a little unhappy. "Do you really think your father doesn't care about anything? I've lived in the palace for so long and I was poisoned. If they even attacked me, let alone you two!"
Ye Lingche didn't say anything else.
Looking at Bai Sui'an, she followed the address left by Yan Liu and knocked on the door for a long time before it opened.
Luoluo was sleepy and was cursing something.
When he looked up and saw that the person coming was Bai Sui'an, the sleepiness on his face was scared away.
She exclaimed, "Princess!"
"Speak more quietly." Bai Sui'an covered her mouth and closed the door after going in.
"Well, why are you here?" Luoluo scratched her head. The room was a mess and had not been cleaned up.
If Bai Sui'an sees that the place they live in is so messy, will he think that they are not doing their job well?
Bai Sui'an glanced around and asked, "Where's Yanliu?"
"She, she went to work."
Luoluo kicked the messy weapons on the ground to the wall and dragged a chair over for Bai Sui to sit on.
"Have you found work yet?"
Bai Sui'an didn't sit down, but bent down to help clean up the room.
The two of them lived in a small house without a yard. The whole view could be seen as soon as they entered the door, and there was only one bed.
Bai Sui'an didn't ask any further questions, thinking that the two girls had bought too many cakes and had no money to find a good house to live in.
I'll leave some money for them to eat later, Bai Sui'an thought.
"Yeah." Luoluo agreed casually and followed Bai Sui'an to clean the house. "Princess, you haven't told me why you came here."
Bai Sui'an said, "I wanted you to take me to Zuihonglou. Now that you have work to do, just stay here and continue working. Tell me where to find General Linglong, and I'll go find him myself."
Luoluo was stunned: "Princess, are you going to Zuihonglou? Linglong doesn't live there. My sister and I will take you there."
"No need, she should recognize me. I can go by myself. It's not easy to find a job. You guys can stay here."
Luoluo shook her head repeatedly: "No, my sister and I haven't found any work to do. Princess, we can follow you anytime you give the order!"
"Where did Yan Liu go?" Bai Sui'an couldn't help but look serious.
There are all kinds of weapons in this room. It's impossible for two girls to do something stupid after coming to town, right?
Luoluo touched her nose and said, "Isn't there a list of names posted at the entrance of the government office? My sister and I have been earning money there these days."
Afraid that Bai Sui'an wouldn't believe her, Luoluo took out a big bag from under the bed. When she opened it, it was full of silver.
"Nowadays, we're all working together, so the money is easier to share. We've accumulated so much money over time, and we don't dare to go out and exchange it for banknotes for fear of being targeted."
Bai Sui'an knew that their martial arts skills were not very good, and they were able to earn so much money, probably because they accepted the reward.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" Bai Sui'an pulled Luoluo and checked her around.
Luoluo smiled and lifted her sleeves: "Ouch, just some bruises, it was all from a fight, we fought together, no one took many hits."
Bai Sui'an found a dark bruise and pressed it, and Luoluo immediately screamed.
“It hurts!”
"I still feel the pain."
Just like catching kids secretly fighting outside, Bai Sui'an wanted to teach them a lesson while suddenly taking out a bottle of medicinal wine to help Luoluo rub it.
Luoluo wanted to rub it herself, but she couldn't resist Bai Sui'an. She grimaced and gasped in pain, but she couldn't escape.
"When will Yanliu come back?"
"She went out this morning and will probably be back soon." Luoluo said softly, "Princess, please be gentler, it hurts!"
"You are the one who got hurt so badly. I didn't use much force to begin with." Bai Sui'an was still pouring medicinal wine to rub the bruises on Luoluo.
After a pause, he continued, "You earn so much money, but you don't even know how to find a good place to live. The bed is so hard, how can you sleep comfortably? You got this injury a few days ago, right? I don't know how to go to the clinic to get some medicine."
It was a tone of disappointment. Bai Sui'an was a little annoyed that two girls of such age didn't know how to take care of their bodies.
Green Lotus grinned and said, "This silver is for you. The princess doesn't even live in a good house, and the children at home will need money in the future. We will prepare some extra silver for you."
"Silly, I have hands and feet, and I earn much more money than you do. I don't need to spend yours. I'll help you exchange the silver for banknotes later, and you can keep it for yourself to buy clothes, a big house, or to keep yourself."
Bai Sui'an didn't care that he still had medicinal oil on his hands, and tapped Luoluo's forehead first, "I told you before, don't force yourself to suffer."
"No, no, no, Princess, you're really caring about us. This isn't bitter at all, it's very sweet!"
Bai Sui'an said helplessly: "I've already said that I'm not the princess you used to be."
"Yeah, it's our new princess, oops!"
Unable to convince her, Bai Sui'an simply pressed her bruise again.
Luoluo fell silent, and Bai Sui'an continued, "When you left, did the king entrust you with anything? Like a lamp or something?"
"I don't know about that. We are just servants of the princess. If there is anything, we will talk to General Linglong, or Niya."
Luoluo thought for a while and came up with a name that Bai Sui'an was familiar with.
General Linglong is the king's confidant, so it's normal for him to know something.
Ni Ya's words...
Bai Sui'an suddenly thought of someone: "Is the high priest dead? Did he run away with you or with someone else?"
The high priest is Ni Ya's father, and he is the one who takes the lead in every sacrifice.
People with true qi are related to the life lamp, but the original owner has not had true qi since he can remember. It is not surprising that the king knows that Ni Ya has true qi, which means that this matter must have happened a long time ago and is related to the person responsible for binding the life lamp.
Maybe there is a kind of person who can transfer true energy, which is similar to transferring curses to other people.
That is, people from Ni Ya's lineage can do it.
Luoluo blinked. She didn't know why Bai Sui'an asked that.
She replied, "He fell ill and died not long after he left with us."
As if remembering something, Luluo added, "By the way, the traitor in Zuihonglou this time is the disciple of the high priest."
