Chapter 119 Visitors from Eagle House
Since the Eighth Princess Chu Caiwei was freed from her restraints, she and her two maids settled in the brand new princess mansion bestowed by Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen not only gave her an elite force to protect her, but also sent a team of mysterious secret guards to guard her secretly. In addition, the queen also selected several of the most capable maids in the palace to take care of the eighth princess' daily life.
However, after experiencing all kinds of changes, Chu Caiwei has already realized the helplessness and sorrow of being born into a royal family. The so-called family affection is nothing but an illusion.
Born in an imperial family, profit is the eternal truth. She knows that she is just a chess piece on Emperor Wen's chessboard, and she will soon become a tool used by her father and brother to win over the ministers in the court. Faced with such a cruel reality, the once innocent girl has now become indifferent and resolute...
What chilled Chu Caiwei the most was that after a thorough investigation at the Dali Temple, they concluded that what happened in the Xianwang Mansion that day was actually done by Zhang Ji and the servants of the Xianwang Mansion! How could this be possible? She simply couldn't believe this fact.
Since the officials were helpless and could not find out the reason, she had to find another way and go to the martial arts world to seek help. After all, the martial arts world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many strange people among them. And it is well known that the Dark Moon Pavilion has a Black Hawk team that is responsible for collecting intelligence. If she can pay enough gold as a reward, then she is very likely to get the truth she longs to know!
It was a sunny morning with a gentle breeze. Chu Caiwei was dressed in plain clothes and a delicate veil on her head, which cleverly concealed her face. She was followed by two personal maids, Meixiang and Huixiang. After the three of them dressed up, they quietly stepped out of the gate of the princess's mansion.
They walked straight to West Street, as if they had a clear destination. After entering West Street, the streets were bustling with people and various shops. Meixiang searched for her target with sharp eyes and finally locked on a tea shop. She walked into the shop, whispered with the owner for a while, paid a considerable amount of silver, and successfully exchanged for the address of the Ghost Market Eagle House.
After getting the key information, Chu Caiwei and her group continued to move forward and found the location of the Eagle House according to the clues they got. When they stepped into the gate of the Eagle House, a man named Mu San came to greet them. Although Chu Caiwei was wearing a veil to cover her face, from her unique walking posture and elegant temperament, Mu San could tell at a glance that this woman was from an official family.
Mu San secretly guessed Chu Caiwei's intention, with a polite and cautious smile on his face. He bowed respectfully to Chu Caiwei and asked what she wanted. Chu Caiwei raised her head slightly, looked at Mu San through the gauze of her veil, and said in a clear and gentle voice: "I heard that the eagle training here is superb, so I came here to see it." Mu San heard this, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon returned to normal, and enthusiastically led them into the eagle house for a tour.
When Mei Xiang took out a large ingot of heavy yellow gold from her bosom, Mu San took a look and said directly: "We in Dark Moon Pavilion have always only done business in the underworld. We will not accept anything involving the government!"
Chu Caiwei was extremely anxious upon hearing this, and hurriedly explained: "Your Dark Moon Pavilion Master has been very kind to me! Today I came here just to understand the truth of some things, and I have no other intentions, and I will not bring you any trouble or involve you in official affairs. I hope you will give me some convenience!"
Mu San narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked up and down at the people standing in front of him. His brows were furrowed, as if he was secretly thinking and weighing the pros and cons. After a long while, he finally said slowly: "Well, in this case, please follow me in." After that, he turned and walked into the house.
Mu San led them to a dark room with dim light and mysterious atmosphere. Ying Twelve then walked into the room with steady steps and carefully brought a pot of steaming hot tea and several exquisite teacups.
Mu San stared at the woman in the veil and said sincerely, "Miss, you may rest here for a while. I will immediately ask the Pavilion Master to come and let her make the decision personally." After saying that, he gave the woman an apologetic smile.
The woman nodded gently, showing her understanding and agreement. She gracefully bowed slightly and responded softly: "Thank you very much, sir. Please convey this matter to the Pavilion Master as soon as possible. I am waiting for good news here." Her voice was as sweet as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, which made people feel good about her.
Mu San nodded and left, leaving the woman sitting quietly in the dark room. The whole room was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere...
Mu San hurried out of the dark room, his face somewhat solemn. He gently called out the little snake beside him, put a ball of paper into its mouth, and whispered, "Go and pass this message to the Pavilion Master." The little snake seemed to understand what he said, nodded, and then swam away quickly.
Meanwhile, Luo Lingyue was in a daze in her room. Ever since she attended the wedding of the Crown Prince and Li Jingshu, she had felt inexplicably depressed. Although her third brother Luo Lingzhang had allowed her to enter and leave the General's Mansion freely, he still arranged for a team of guards to follow her around at all times.
This made Luo Lingyue, who originally loved freedom, very distressed. Even when she went out shopping, she would attract strange looks from others. She couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! It's so annoying! How can I have fun if this goes on?"
At this moment, Luo Lingyue was eager to get rid of these constraints and regain the free life she once had. However, facing her brother's care and protection, she couldn't just refuse. How could she not hurt her family's feelings and gain her own freedom? Luo Lingyue fell into deep thought...
At this moment, a small and exquisite snake slid in quietly from the open window like a ghost. Its flexible body twisted and turned, as if it was dancing a mysterious dance. Suddenly, the little snake opened its mouth, spit out a ball of crumpled paper, and then quickly left along the way it came, disappearing without a trace.
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, she gently reached out her hand, picked up the paper ball on the ground, and carefully unfolded it. When she saw the handwriting on the paper, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. It was clearly written on it: "The Eighth Princess is waiting for the Pavilion Master in the Eagle House!" These simple words revealed a sense of urgency and importance.
Luo Lingyue stood up without hesitation, walked quickly to the door, and suddenly opened it. She looked at Liuli outside the door with a firm gaze, and ordered in a loud voice: "I need to rest for a while! Don't disturb me unless it's important! At the same time, warn the guards to keep quiet!" After that, she closed the door with force, making a loud "bang".
Liuli nodded quickly and said, "Miss, please rest assured! I will guard the door and tell the guards not to make any noise!" She straightened up with a serious expression, indicating that she would definitely fulfill her mission.
Luo Lingyue disguised herself as Dark Moon Fairy, dodged the guards and jumped over the wall...
