Chapter 268 Beautiful Scenery

Zhu Gaoxu thought of the pair of jadeite bracelets that were smooth and finely processed, and felt that the Shen family could find some skilled craftsmen; if it was asked to be done by the Shen family, it would probably be easier.

He wrote a letter to send it to the Shen Mansion, proposing that the Han Prince's Mansion would send soldiers to guard the mines, and the Shen Xu family would be responsible for the mining operation; and asked her what she had requested.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu came to the study and took out the reply from the envelope from the reply from the envelope. He opened his eyes and saw several neat lines of regular script.

The writing content is roughly that there is an actor named Li Louxian under the Shen Xu family, who has contributed a lot to the Shen family. Li Louxian hoped to have the opportunity to accompany King Han to drink, and asked King Han if he could agree to this matter.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused after reading it.He knew that Li Louxian was the top actress in Liyuan, and that the daughter of the Marquis of Xiping was very popular with this person.

He recalled that last year, Mrs. Chen seemed to have asked him if he wanted to ask Li Lou to accompany him first.

Zhu Gaoxu thought it was just Chen Xu who wanted to flatter him, but he refused casually... He didn't expect that it was because Li Lou wanted to see him first.

Li Louxian has no intention, right? Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and found that he had little understanding of the actor, but he still believed in Chen Xu's name. If there was any problem with the actor, Chen Xu's name should not dare to recommend it.

The business of jade has been surprisingly smooth so far. Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment and lifted his pen and wrote: Please arrange the time for Mrs. Chen.

...The agreed time for meeting is three days later.

Just after the You hour, Zhu Gaoxu changed into an ordinary robe and robe and took the carriage to the Shenyuan behind the theater.

In the house by the pond, the guards entered the left and right wing rooms as before.

Zhu Gaoxu waited Duan Xuehen out of the door and walked in.

Duan Xuehen did not follow in and stayed in the corridor outside.

After a while, several maids entered and placed the wine and food on the round table in the hall.

After taking the seat, Zhu Gaoxu soon saw a woman wearing a pair of pairs walking in. He looked up and recognized that the woman was Li Louxian.

Zhu Gaoxu saw her several times before, and she looked like she was acting and makeup, and she had never met her on ordinary occasions.

What surprised Zhu Gaoxu was that Li Lou took off his acting makeup first, but there was not much dusty smell.

It was probably because the powder on her face was very light and her clothes and jewelry were relatively simple.

She only has small flower embroidery on her clothes, and no other fabrics have patterns.

I will pay homage to Your Highness.Li Louxian's voice was very thin, as if he was pinching his throat.She lowered her head, and she felt a little shy.

Zhu Gaoxu was more casual. He smiled and bowed: Last time I asked Miss Li to copy the playbook myself, but I haven't thanked you yet.Ask Miss Li to come and sit down.

Li Louxian said softly: It is a great honor for me to copy the playbook for Your Highness.

She walked closer and sat gently on the stool on one side.Because Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were always looking at her, she didn't dare to look up at Zhu Gaoxu.

Li Lou first stretched out his right hand and picked up the thin-necked wine pot on the table, gently held the sleeve with his left hand, and said: These dishes are made by me, I hope they can match the taste of His Highness...

Zhu Gaoxu was about to praise her, but unexpectedly, at this moment, she suddenly saw her face flushed, as if something was wrong... After a moment, her hands also trembled.

Bang!The wine pot fell on the table.Li Louxian's body softened and his body fell down.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly stood up and shouted: Come on, Ah!Then he went up and lifted Li Louxian's body over to check.

The door opened and a figure flashed into the room.Zhu Gaoxu looked up and saw that it was Duan Xueheng, so he immediately said: Li Louxian seemed to be poisoned and immediately called the doctor.

Duan Xueheng asked: Is there nothing wrong with the prince?

Zhu Gaoxu said: I haven’t drunk any drops of water.

Duan Xuehen turned around and went out, and then several nearby guards of the royal palace also walked into the room. The person who came first was Xu Cailiu, and then the doctor came, and Chen Xu also walked into the door.

Xu Cailiu said nervously: Because something happened to the Liyuan last time, His Highness the King of Han came to the Liyuan, the younger ones were very cautious every time.Before these wines and dishes were delivered to the house, I had already asked me to try them...

Go and get the egg white first, and then ask someone to get the water.The doctor said without raising his head, "She was poisoned by arsenic, but fortunately she was not seriously poisoned."

Chen Xu bent down and said: I am guilty of disturbing Your Highness.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Wait for the doctor to save the person first.

After a while of work inside and outside the house, Li Lou was soon carried to the next room.Zhu Gaoxu paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, turned to look at the wine and food that he had never eaten before on the table, and was puzzled.

Chen Xu's fingers pinched the corner of her clothes and stood silently at the door nervously.

Zhu Gaoxu said: This is very strange. Since the wine and food are not poisoned, I am not poisoned either. Why did Li Lou get poisoned first?

Chen Xu frowned, shook his head and sighed: Li Lou must have taken arsenic privately.

Why?Zhu Gaoxu was even more confused.

Chen Xu said softly: A woman taking a small amount of arsenic can make her skin look whiter... Li Louxian may have eaten a little more.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Chen Xu in shock.

She continued: Everyone likes women with white skin.Your Highness doesn't know that many women secretly take arsenic to please men, most of whom are concubines from wealthy families.Li Lou finally managed to serve Your Highness alone, and she must have eaten arsenic.

I made such a conclusion because the doctor said that she was not poisoned deeply and should have no worries about her life.If Li Lou hadn't taken arsenic by himself first, the poisoner would have the intention to harm others and would not have given so little Ah!

Zhu Gaoxu did not know that there was such a thing, but as soon as Chen Xu said it, he quickly felt that it seemed to be somewhat credible... Otherwise, how could he explain such a ridiculous thing?

Chen Xu looked regretful: I did not expect such a thing to happen. If I had known this, I would not have agreed to Li Louxian for waiting.

Forget it.Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the door.He came to the next room, and Duan Xuehen and others followed.

Sure enough, Li Louxian had woken up quickly. She covered her face with her sleeves, laying on a collapsed side, her shoulders shaking slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu soon heard her suppressed sobs.When he walked to the front of the collapse, Li Lou hurriedly turned his face to the side and choked up and said: It's all my fault for being stupid, maybe I should be so lucky...

Have you taken arsenic by yourself?Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Li Lou responded in a trembling voice.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, turned to look at Chen Xu and said: I believe this is true. Mrs. Chen and Miss Li don’t have to worry about it, so this matter ends here.

Li Louxian cried weakly: Your Highness is to punish me for being punished, and I have nothing to do with Mrs. Chen.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Arsenic is poisonous, everyone knows, why does Miss Li do this?

Li Louxian said in his voice: I heard that Your Highness loves to listen to my plays, and I... Now that I have made a mistake, I am asking Your Highness to see the ugly appearance, whimper...

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt compassion and couldn't help but comfort him: Miss Li, take care of her, and we'll meet again next time.

Li Lou struggled and turned around first, but still covered his face with his sleeves. What Your Highness said seriously?

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said gently: Of course. I won’t stay much tonight, Miss Li is very nurturing. Mrs. Chen doesn’t have to make things difficult for her.

Yes, I will follow Your Highness’s orders. Chen Xu said hurriedly.

When he walked out of the house, the sky was dim and the sky was covered with stars.He looked up and thought to himself that it was a beautiful scenery, but unexpectedly it made a mess.

Chen Xu followed him to the corridor and said softly: The prince encountered two thrilling events in the Pear Garden. I was really negligent.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at Duan Xuehen beside him, and saw Chen Xu looking at her... Duan Xuehen's eyes flashed very suddenly.

The last accident assassin was Duan Xueheng; she was calm at first, but her eyes were a bit like Mu Zhen, and it was easy to reveal her emotions.

I understand everything, Mrs. Chen doesn't have to take it to her heart. Zhu Gaoxu said, our business in Myanmar is as usual.

Your Highness… Chen Xu’s voice sounded a little hesitant.

She always speaks clearly and rarely speaks so hard. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but turn to look at her and saw Chen Xu's face slightly flushed.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said, Miss Duan, wait.

Duan Xuehen stopped without saying a word, and several guards also stayed there.

Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Xu turned around the corridor. Chen Xu said in a very low voice: There are too many idle people in the Liyuan, so it is not convenient to be prepared. Next time the prince comes to Shen Mansion, I will apologize to you in person.

This sentence seems to be fine, but her appearance makes people think more.Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said: That's good.

The two of them were in a cold mood, and the lights in the corridor remained motionless, making the night quieter.Even Zhu Gaoxu felt that nothing had happened just now.

He couldn't help but think about Li Louxian again.Li Louxian, a popular actor, seemed to have never spoken to Zhu Gaoxu, and he had met once or twice but was in a hurry.

But she tried every means to get close to Zhu Gaoxu, but because Zhu Gaoxu had a powerful position.

It's just an ordinary thing.Zhu Gaoxu sighed with no brainstorm.

It turned out that he was just a villain with nothing, and now his situation was very different; so what Li Louxian did made him sigh... So he sighed casually that this was an ordinary thing (for the prince).

Chen Xu seemed to have misunderstood his meaning and immediately flattered him very gently: Your Highness is broad-minded and generous to others, which makes people admire him very much.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said: That's because I trust Mrs. Chen, not that I can forgive others at will.

Chen Xu thought for a while, then gently bent his knees and said: Thank you for your trust.
