Chapter 95: The fragrance

The rope on Xu Miaojin's body had been untied, and she was pacing back and forth in this dark place, moving her hands and feet.

Before King Gaoyang left, he bought a few more things, candles, charcoal stoves, flints, and several wooden barrels filled with well water.

There is a thick curtain covering the corner of the wall opposite the bed curtain, which should be a place to change clothes.

The vents that are excavated are relatively small and have a high position.

The only thing that passes is the entrance to the wine cellar, and the stairs have now been removed; Xu Miaojin looked up and observed, and there was no ladder that could not be reached by people, and there was an iron fence on it, so it was impossible to climb out.

The entrance above is also where the inside and outside things are exchanged through a twisted rope. Xu Miaojin's future expenses and the discarded items to be sent can only be passed through this place.

With such a situation, it would be difficult for her to escape.Besides, she didn't want to escape without permission, otherwise more things might happen if there were any problems outside of the situation.

Zhu Gaoxu was able to do such a thing, and he was more courageous than Xu Miaojin imagined!

Xu Miaojin said: Even if Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the danger and bullied himself in this cellar, what else can he do?This place is secret, and her identity is held in Zhu Gaoxu and she dare not speak out...

Thinking of this, Xu Miaojin's face was hot and she felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart... She was very ashamed and angry when she was forcibly detained in the cellar; but Zhu Gaoxu had his reasons and did not flirt with her, so she wanted to blame her but couldn't blame her.

Everything here was prepared so carefully, and he probably imagined that he would be so thorough in order to live... Xu Miaojin had a vague illusion that Zhu Gaoxu lived with her.

...Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door of the warehouse full of wine jars, turned around and said: Wang Gui, you usually lock the gatehouse in the back garden, and no one else is allowed to come in, so you can live next to this warehouse.I asked your godson Cao Fu to deliver the meal, and put more food in a bowl and send it to the wine cellar.

Wang Gui said: I obey the order.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and said: Haven’t you studied in the Yàn Palace?Later, I went to the study to move some books and told Cao Fu that you should study hard here.

After he said that, he looked around and looked at the high walls of the county prince's mansion, and felt a little calm in his panic.

If an ordinary person hides someone, it will definitely be easily found; but the high walls of the County Prince's Mansion are erected, and they are also a powerful family. Now, except for King Yàn, who dares to investigate the County Prince's Mansion?

He was holding his head to do important things for King Yàn, and King Yàn could not touch his mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu took out a letter written by Xu Miaojin from his arms and handed it to Wang Gui: Get rid of it, put on a big hat, and go to Chi Yueguan to deliver the letter first.

Wang Gui took the letter and said with his fist: I will say goodbye.

Zhu Gaoxu inspected around and let out a long sigh. Now he doesn't care about more things and has to prepare his itinerary immediately.

He walked out of the back garden, locked the doorman, then found Cao Fu, and asked him to send an order: find Wang Bin and Wei Da and then go to the mansion to discuss matters.

Zhu Gaoxu was busy changing his clothes and went to the Yàn Palace to contact the eunuch Zheng He.

Zhu Gaoxu took several riders and rode out to the house of Prince Yàn.He found someone to find Zheng He, agreed to set off tomorrow, and then went to the inner house of the Prince Yàn's mansion to say goodbye to his mother and wanted to remind her to keep it confidential.

……

It was the chilly spring cold that Princess Xu was in poor health and the room was still filled with a mud stove for heating.The princess Zhang is also here, helping Princess Xu to sew a red cloak.

I heard that my father and second uncle are going to fight again.Zhang said softly, his daughter-in-law met her father at the door of the inner hall. The father said he wanted to go far and asked his daughter-in-law to come over to accompany the princess more often.

Princess Xu said: You have something to do at home, so don’t listen to him!There are so many servants in the palace, and your little aunt is with me.

By the way, didn’t you see your aunt today?Zhang asked casually.

Princess Xu said: I haven't seen anyone for two days. A servant said she had returned to Chi Yueguan, and she was probably coming back soon.

Yes, my aunt is a true person who has attained enlightenment. When she practices, she will see the dragon's tail but not the head.Zhang smiled.

At this moment, a maid said at the door: "Report to the Princess, King Gaoyang is here."

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu was indeed seen walking to the door. When his feet stepped on the threshold, he bent his waist slightly, and he was wary of his head hitting the door.

His burly figure blocked the door and the light in the room became a little dimmed.

My son's servant paid homage to his mother's wife... Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked over again, and his sister-in-law was also in Ah.

Zhang said with a smile: My mother is sewing a cloak for her father, I will come here to help.The second uncle also wants to marry me a sister-in-law back quickly... Mother, do you think so?

Princess Xu immediately nodded and said: When he finishes his work with your father, I will make arrangements for him.

Mother, my son’s minister has something to do... Zhu Gaoxu pondered.

Zhang's eyes turned and the smell came back immediately. He quickly put down the needle and thread and stood up. Oh, his legs were sore, so his daughter-in-law went out for a walk first.My mother also needs to move her legs and feet, so don’t sit for a long time.

Princess Xu nodded and smiled: You are just thoughtful.

Zhang walked towards the door and trotted past Zhu Gaoxu.

Suddenly, she smelled a very faint fragrance and passed by in an instant.

At this time, Zhang had already walked to the door, and it was difficult to go back and smell it carefully, so he had to go out.

Although the faint fragrance was light, Zhang's nose was very awesome and could vaguely smell it when he got close to it... It was the rare spices in the Western Regions she got!

In Peking, I have never smelled anything else except her.

Zhang immediately thought that when he delivered his purse last time, he gave Xu Miaojin a few pieces of spices!

She suddenly felt a thump in her heart and thought to herself: Have Zhu Gaoxu and Xu Miaojin had physical contact?Or did Xu Miaojin give Zhu Gaoxu some spices?

No matter which possibility, the relationship between these two people is extraordinary!

Zhang was shocked at first. Xu Miaojin was the sister recognized by her mother and even gave her a name.

But soon she felt that it was not strange... Xu Miaojin was so beautiful that she was so beautiful. Who can compare with her in this huge palace in terms of appearance?

Zhu Gaoxu is a young man in his teens and has not even married his wife. He often goes to the inner house of the Prince Yàn's mansion and has many opportunities to meet Xu Miaojin.

It wouldn't be strange if the two of them had something shameful.

Zhang was born in a wealthy family, but I have heard of such noble families before, and there are the most dirty things.When she thought about this, she almost thought that there was something wrong with King Gaoyang and Xu Miaojin.

However, she thought again that just by scent that easily dissipated would not allow Zhu Gaoxu to be sure of anything; it would also make Zhang herself hated by Princess Xu and be considered to be sowed away by the disagreement.

So Zhang quickly decided that he should not act rashly for the time being, and this matter must be followed.
