Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 228: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 45

The attack on Xin He seemed to be the symbol of the war between Li Junze and Li Yunyi. The original petty quarrels in private gradually evolved into a fight in the court.

The old emperor was happy to see this. He had been in poor health in the past two years and had been obsessed with maintaining his health at Linxiantai, but this did not mean that he was willing to give up power.

He sat on the mountain and watched the fight between two tigers. He would give a hand to whichever side was weaker and attack whichever side was stronger, thus maintaining a delicate balance among the three forces in the court.

The Sixth Prince Li Yunyi was so angry that he saw that he could never gain the upper hand in the court. He discussed it with his mother and decided to use some shady tricks.

Soon, a rumor began to spread among the people that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had committed too many sins of killing people, and when he brought misfortune upon others, even the Crown Princess-to-be, who was destined to be unlucky, could not bear it.

The only solution is to practice in seclusion, recite scriptures in front of the Buddha, and repent until the sins are washed away, otherwise it will bring disaster to the Dali Kingdom.

Now, more than a month has passed since Li Junze returned. The people are ignorant and have long forgotten who led the soldiers to fight desperately to defend their country at the border so that they can live a stable and worry-free life.

Even if some people expressed their opposition out of gratitude, they were drowned out by the majority of public opinion.

Seeing that public opinion was becoming increasingly intense, the old emperor also intervened and took the opportunity to propose taking back the military power.

Li Junze made excuses to refuse several times, and then reluctantly handed over the military power. After the old emperor got the military token, he finally let down his guard and used the name of Linxiantai to suppress public opinion.

Little did they know that all this was within Li Junze's expectations. He had been leading troops to fight in the past two years, and almost all the soldiers in the army were his men. Even without the military token, he could still command the three armies.

There were constant struggles in the court, and the children of aristocratic families were restricted by their families. In order not to let them attract trouble, the number of various banquets dropped sharply. However, some people still couldn't stand the loneliness and secretly invited a few good friends to have a small gathering.

Su Ziyu asked Chen Anyu to accompany him these few times, not just for fun, but also for the purpose of collecting intelligence.

"Hey, Prince Su, have you heard that Linxiantai will be performing a public ritual in a few days? However, the ticket prices in the inner field have been driven up to sky-high prices. It is said that it costs one hundred taels of gold per person." A man in white suddenly said.

"Your information is too outdated. The price has now risen to five hundred taels of gold. The thirty seats in the inner field have already been snapped up." Another man in blue added.

Those present were all second generation rich kids. They were not the ones who inherited the family business. Although they had some information channels, they had no money and no qualifications, so they could only talk about it.

"Oh?" Su Zi wanted to close the folding fan, puzzled and asked: "Why is it so expensive?"

Ever since the last time, he secretly regarded Linxiantai as a deceptive cult. Although he was not interested in it in his heart, he still pretended to be curious in public.

Before the man could speak, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Because the Taoists of Linxiantai will randomly select three people from the inner court to do divination for him."

Nangong Xi walked over, slightly raised her head, with a hint of pride in her tone.

Su Zi turned his head and saw that it was Nangong Xi, the haunted guy. He gave a forced smile, "As expected of Brother Nangong, you are well-informed."

Chen Anyu, who was not far away, saw Nangong Xi and quickly ended the conversation with others. He walked to Su Ziyu to protect him and stared at Nangong Xi with a wary look.

Nangong Xi glanced at Chen Anyu and was secretly annoyed as to why Su Ziyu was so lucky to have such a loyal and good-looking lackey.

He glanced behind him casually, and saw some ugly dudes showing him fawning smiles, which made him feel sick. He pouted and said, "Prince Su, please don't give me any compliments!"

The followers behind him echoed, "That's right, if Prince Su really wants to go to Linxiantai, he can come and ask our Brother Nangong. Brother Nangong is in charge of the security of Linxiantai, and he might agree!"

Su Ziyu pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "No need, my family has nothing but a lot of money, just buy a ticket, so I won't bother Brother Nangong."

After saying that, he called Chen Anyu and left.

Su Ziyu didn't take this matter to heart. He went to the other courtyard to visit Xin He.

Xin He stayed in Shanci Temple for a few days. After witnessing the completion of Sui Er's ritual, he returned to the yard carrying his urn, waiting to catch the murderer so that he could rest in peace.

Su Ziyu was worried that she was too sad and would damage her health, so he had to go to her in person every day, watch her eat and take medicine, and say words of encouragement to her.

However, Chen Anyu thought that Su Ziyu really wanted to go to Linxiantai, but he didn't have enough money to buy the ticket at a high price. So in the next few days, he kept an eye on Nangong Xi's movements, intending to start with him.

Three days later, he finally got the chance he had been waiting for.

Chen Anyu followed Nangong Xi and watched him suddenly sneak out of the house without his lackeys, and enter the Youlan Building through the back door alone.

Watching his figure disappear through the back door, Chen Anyu frowned slightly. He had been in the capital for some time and naturally had heard of places like Youlan Tower for entertainment.

When he learned that his brother was homosexual, he became curious about gay matters. Every time he passed by the Youlan Tower, he would pretend to look around with curiosity, but he never dared to go in.

Later, I went to the library and secretly bought a few books. Only then did I finally understand that men can behave in this way, and I gained some useless knowledge.

Nangong Xi was a little puzzled. He had heard those followers bragging a lot at previous banquets, saying that Nangong Xi took them to Youlan Tower to drink and make noise, but why were they acting so sneaky today? Were they doing something shameful?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and stepped into the Youlan Building.

The waiter inside saw a stranger who was not only well-dressed but also very handsome. He came over immediately and spoke in a very gentle voice.

"Hey, where did you come from, young man? Come in quickly. You look unfamiliar to me. Is this your first time here?"

As he said that, the young man was about to pretend to be weak and boneless, and fell into his arms, but Chen Anyu quickly dodged. He glanced at the white powder falling down his face with a little disgust, "Stay away from me."

While he was avoiding the young waiter who was approaching him, he looked around for Nangong Xi's figure. Unfortunately, there were too many people here and he didn't see her.

Seeing that he seemed to be looking for someone, the young waiter narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey, young master, you look down on me. I have other brothers. Let me introduce them to you!"

Although Chen Anyu was smart, he had never been to such a brothel before and had never seen such shameless people. He quickly took out a dozen banknotes and said, "Open a private room and find a quiet person to accompany you."

The waiter looked at the banknote in his hand and immediately smiled flatteringly. He stopped pestering him and said, "Okay, please go upstairs, young master."
