After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Chapter 398 There is no outsider here, stop pretending.

After Lu Huaizhen left the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, he went directly to the Treasure Hunting Tower.

Having not seen him for half a year, Shopkeeper Lu smiled brightly, "Prince Xian, you are here."

"Is your boss here?"

"Our boss went to Yichun Court the day before yesterday and hasn't come back in the past few days." The shopkeeper asked, "How about you go to the third floor and wait, and I'll send someone to invite him over?"

Lu Huaizhen nodded and walked towards the third floor.

After half an hour, Jiang Tingxiao finally arrived at the Treasure Hunting Tower, reeking of makeup.

"Where have you been these days? I sent someone to send you a message but you didn't reply. I went to your house but you were nowhere to be seen."

Lu Huaizhen frowned because of the smell on his body. It felt like there was something flying in his throat. He covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Jiang Tingxiao sat beside him loudly, "There's no one else here, so stop pretending."

"Cough cough cough..."

Lu Huaizhen was still coughing, and his fair face turned red.

"Is this a cold?"

Jiang Tingxiao raised his hand to help him calm down, but Lu Huaizhen stopped him, "Just stay away from me."

Jiang Tingxiao took his sleeve and sniffed it. It was indeed stained with a cloying fragrance. He moved his butt and sat on the chair opposite Lu Huaizhen.

Looking at Lu Huaizhen's sickly face, he asked worriedly, "Are you sick again?"

"Ah."

Lu Huaizhen hummed lightly, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat.

He squinted at him and asked, "Have you been to Yichunyuan often recently?"

"I don't go there often, maybe three out of five."

Jiang Tingxiao sneered, "My old man wanted to marry my niece from Gu's family to me just for my wealth. You know, it's annoying to have a clown yelling and screaming in front of you all the time. This Yichunyuan is a good place to go."

He and Gu killed his mother, and now they want to use marriage to control him.

What the hell are these parental orders and matchmaker's words? What can they do as long as he doesn't want to?

"You have been in Yichunyuan recently. Have you found anything unusual about it?"

"Abnormal?" Jiang Tingxiao thought about it carefully and shook his head.

"However," he changed the subject and gave Lu Huaizhen an obscene smile, "The courtesan of Yichunyuan is a beautiful woman who is good at understanding people's clothes. How about I take you to taste the taste of a woman today?"

"Don't go."

Lu Huaizhen refused without even thinking about it. He rolled his eyes at him unhappily and said, "I came here today because I want you to help me with something."

Jiang Tingxiao poured himself a cup of tea, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "You are just like that little girl Bai Youyou now, never coming to see me for no reason."

"Tell me what's going on."

He took a sip of water and raised his chin.

"You have been in Yichunyuan for many days. Have you ever seen anyone take the Immortal Powder?"

Lu Huaizhen deliberately lowered his voice, but Jiang Tingxiao was stunned by his words, "How could Yichunyuan have the Immortal Powder? This thing is banned by the court. Who dares to touch it openly?"

"Lu Liu found out that there might be some Shenxian powder in Yichun Courtyard, but his whereabouts might have been known to the Crown Prince, so nothing has been found in these days."

"You mean..." Jiang Tingxiao restrained his usual casualness and became serious, "You want me to go to Yichunyuan to investigate the matter of Shenxiansan?"

Lu Huaizhen glared at him and said meaningfully: "When you are having fun, take some time to check it out. It won't waste your time for tea."

"I'm not a cup of tea now, so don't talk nonsense."

When people reminded him of his past embarrassments, Jiang Tingxiao stiffened his neck and tried to defend himself.

He really regretted it now. He should not have told this guy about this matter in the first place, otherwise he would not be teased today.

Jiang Tingxiao sighed helplessly, "Alright, you are the idle prince, I can only sacrifice my life to accompany you. But this is not easy, the master behind Yichun Courtyard is the prince, if the truth comes out, you have to let the Duke of Zhenguo protect me."

Lu Huaizhen curled his lips slightly, "Don't worry, the people in the Zhenguo Mansion are not ungrateful."

"This magic powder involves a wide range of people, including kings, generals, merchants and peddlers. If something really happens, you and I will be in danger."

Lu Huaizhen's eyes were stern. "So we have to investigate it. This matter concerns the stability of the capital."

As the two were talking, there was a sudden noise downstairs.

Jiang Tingxiao looked over curiously, and saw a group of soldiers rushing into the Liuli Pavilion diagonally opposite with great momentum.

The leading guard shouted loudly: "Someone reported that Liuli Pavilion was illegally opening a mine. Come in and search!"

Jiang Tingxiao was startled and looked at Lu Huaizhen.

Lu Huaizhen frowned, "It seems that the prince knows that this Liuli Pavilion belongs to the Zhenguogong Mansion."

He stood up and walked quickly towards the Glazed Pavilion, and asked in a cold voice: "Master Xue, what are you doing?!"

Lord Xue turned and looked at the newcomer, his eyes full of contempt.

He is the Minister of Justice, and Lu Huaizhen is just an idle prince in name only.

Lord Xue bowed perfunctorily and said, "Reporting to Prince Xian, someone reported that Liuli Pavilion was illegally mining Liuli Mine. I have been ordered to come and search."

Lu Huaizhen sneered, "Whose orders are you following?"

Xue Daren hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Of course, it's the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Huaizhen laughed in anger, "Your Highness, isn't it too reckless to search other people's shops based on one side's words?"

The officer and soldier leader was a little scared when it came to the prince, but he still said firmly: "Ore is a forbidden item of the court. The prince ordered me to come and investigate after receiving a report. Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

At this time, Jiang Tingxiao also rushed over and whispered to Lu Huaizhen, "It's not appropriate to confront them head-on now. Let's see what they can find first."

Lu Huaizhen suppressed his anger, snorted coldly and stood aside.

The manager of Liuli Pavilion felt uneasy when seeing the posture of the officers and soldiers, and hurriedly sent someone to report to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Everyone, be careful, don't bump into anything!"

Since they came here to cause trouble, the officers and soldiers did not show any courtesy and searched through all the drawers and cabinets in the Liuli Pavilion.

"Snap! Bang! Snap!"

Many pieces of colored glass worth several taels of silver were deliberately damaged by them. The shopkeeper was so anxious that he stamped his feet and said, "Stop smashing it! Stop smashing it!"

"Get out of here and don't hinder us from performing our duties!"

The leading officer pushed the steward away and began to rummage through the drawers and boxes violently.

However, after half a day, nothing was found.

The leading officer looked around and found a relatively hidden location, where he planned to place the glass ore hidden in his sleeves.

Lu Huaizhen's pupils shrank slightly, and he took a step forward and grabbed his wrist, "What do you want to do?!"

Jiang Tingxiao took out the stone from his sleeve and examined it carefully. "This is glass ore!"

Lu Huaizhen said coldly: "You are so bold, you dare to forge evidence and frame others in broad daylight!"
