Su Niang set a fire in the kitchen and thought that she wanted to drink in front of her. There was a stack of pickles in the kitchen, so she took the stack of pickles and came forward. Before she could reach the main hall, she heard Yingren's voice coming, and she clearly heard Yingren calling himself "King of Qi".

Although Su Niang didn't know much, she also knew what "the current emperor" meant. She was surprised and immediately heard Chu Huan's voice coming.

"I am the general to meet His Highness, King Qi!"

Chu Huan's voice was not loud, but Su Niang happened to hear it. When Chu Huan paid a visit to Yingren, Su Niang was shocked and knew that the young man she had just met was actually the prince.

In the eyes of the people, the emperor is a god-like existence. He is omnipotent and controls the life and death of anyone in the world. The emperor's son is naturally an extraordinary person.

Since she knew Yingren's identity, Su Niang didn't dare to deliver the pickles in her hand anymore. She tiptoed back and hurriedly prepared new meals. She was even more scared and thought to myself that if she delivered the pickles to her, she would annoy that King of Qi, and she didn't know if she would be beheaded.

Yingren had already stood up and helped Chu Huan who was visiting the ground, stared at Chu Huan's eyes and said, "I told you that I am not to let you have the best and lower levels of defense. In fact, I told you that I just don't want to hide it anymore. I want to treat you as a friend, not a monarch and minister."

Chu Huan actually knew that Yingren's identity was not simple, but he was still a little surprised when he claimed to be the fourth prince. He heard Yingren treat him as a friend and smiled, saying neither humble nor arrogantly: "It is really flattering to be favored by your highness." Although he said "flattered", he really did not mean to be frightened.

Yingren looked back at Sun Desheng and said, "This is the consular eunuch around me, Sun Desheng!"

In fact, "eunuch" is not a humble title, but a respectful title. Not everyone can be called a eunuch in the palace. The so-called eunuch must have a certain status and identity in the palace.

Chu Huan bowed to Sun Desheng, "Eunuch Sun!"

Sun Desheng nodded. Since Yingren had claimed his identity, Sun Desheng didn't stop him much, but just said softly: "Chu Huan, Your Highness's private visit. Since you know about this, you should keep your mouth shut and never disclose the news."

Of course, Chu Huan had guessed that Yingren was sneaking out of the headquarters and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness and Father-in-law, Chu Huan will not leak it to the outside."

Yingren patted Chu Huan on the shoulder and said, "Don't have a grudge just because you know who I am. We are still like before, and we can get along with each other as we should. If you have too many politeness, I will be very unhappy. Come on, sit down and talk first!"

Chu Huan smiled, without restraint, and sat down.

Sun Desheng lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Grand Secretary... let's go back early!"

Yingren said impatiently: "The teacher can wake up in three or two hours after drinking the jar of wine. Didn't you say that the jar of wine can allow the teacher to sleep for at least seven or eight hours?"

Sun Desheng was embarrassed, Chu Huan was obedient and understood that Yingren sneaked out tonight, but the Grand Secretary couldn't wake up after drinking the wine. I thought there were some problems in the jar of wine, but from this it can be seen that King Yingren of Qi was still a little afraid of Xu Congyang.

Yingren then looked at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Huan, you said 20,000 taels of silver can only redeem Ling Shuang's life, but my king's expenses have always been responsible for the inner treasury. I do not have independent financial power control. You must have seen this."

Chu Huan nodded.

Yingren said again: "I don't have silver on you now. If you ask you to get 20,000 taels of silver, it will be difficult for you, and you may not have such a big connection. After thinking about it, I can only borrow the silver himself. The only thing I can borrow is Qiao Mingtang, the governor of Yunshan. As a governor, even if he is honest, the 20,000 taels of silver should still be able to be taken out. Moreover, if I ask him to borrow it personally, he will not refuse!"

Chu Huan thought for a while and finally said softly: "Your Highness, spending 20,000 taels of silver to redeem Miss Lingshuang, this is nothing more than a matter of romance and no harm to ordinary people. However... if your Highness redeems a brothel woman, it will definitely be criticized, which may be detrimental to your Highness."

Yingren shook his head and said, "I have thought about this. If I have taken the silver, I will naturally not come forward..." He stared at Chu Huan: "Chu Huan, use the silver to help Miss Ling Shuang redeem herself!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, no!"

Yingren was stunned and frowned and said, "Why? You are unwilling to help me."

Chu Huan leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "Your Highness has an order, Chu Huan will naturally not obey it. But since he is favored by Your Highness, Chu Huan has to consider many things for you."

Seeing Chu Huan's serious expression, Yingren also approached and whispered, "How do you say this?"

Chu Huan whispered: "Your Highness, let's first imagine that Miss Ling Shuang's redeemable silver is 20,000 taels, and Your Highness did get 20,000 taels of silver from Qiao Mingtang. So I'll ask, if you are Qiao Mingtang, would you be very interested in this? Do you want to know what kind of channels the 20,000 taels of silver are used?"

Yingren touched his nose, thoughtful, and finally nodded, "That's right, of course I want to know. But does Qiao Mingtang have the courage to ask what I want to do?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "He dared not, but it does not mean that he would not know. Your Highness, Qiao Mingtang is the Governor of Xishan Road. Don't underestimate Governor Qiao's ability. If he wants to know about big and small things in Xishan Road, there are few things he doesn't know about."

Yingren squeezed his eyebrows together but didn't say anything.

"If Your Highness asks General Bei to take the silver to redeem Miss Lingshuang, General Bei will naturally obey. But this matter is definitely not small and will soon reach Governor Qiao's ears...!" Chu Huan said calmly: "Your Highness, you borrowed 20,000 taels of silver from Governor Qiao, and General Bei took 20,000 taels of silver to redeem Miss Lingshuang... With Governor Qiao's shrewdness, you will be able to quickly detect the relationship, and with his ability, you can quickly find out the inside story. Your Highness spends a lot of money to redeem Miss Lingshuang, and Governor Qiao will definitely know clearly!"

Yingren couldn't help but clench his fist and sneered: "Does he Qiao Mingtang dare to investigate my affairs?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Of course he dare not investigate openly, but he will definitely make the whole story of the matter clear in private." He paused and stared at Yingren, as if he had not spoken.

Yingren hurriedly said, "Chu Huan, what do you want to say? Even if I say that, I trust you the most, and don't worry about anything you have!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Eunuch Sun is also your highness. Even if Chu Huan says the wrong thing, please take more responsibility." He asked softly, "I want to ask if Your Highness wants to let Governor Qiao know about this?"

Yingren immediately said: "Of course I don't want it."

Sun Desheng couldn't help but approach and whispered: "Chu Huan, no matter how big or small your noble matter is, Qiao Mingtang must not be known about Qiao Mingtang. Especially if Qiao Mingtang knows about this matter, maybe...!" But he didn't continue.

Chu Huan said: "Does Your Highness and Eunuch Sun have any worries?"

Yingren thought for a while, finally sighed and whispered: "Chu Huan, I won't hide it from you. Do you know how Qiao Mingtang became the governor of Yunshan Prefecture?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

Yingren said: "I will not hide it from you. Qiao Mingtang's father-in-law Mo Qingrao was once the priest of the Imperial College. He had some connections in the court. He was very close to the prince's brother and was also considered the prince's brother's person. Because of Mo Qingrao, Qiao Mingtang also became the prince's disciple. He was able to become the governor of Yunshan Prefecture. First, this person is indeed talented, and secondly, it is because the prince's brother strongly recommended to his father... To put it bluntly, Qiao Mingtang is the prince's brother's person!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan frowned.

"The prince's relationship with me is good." Yingren whispered: "The prince's brother and I are both born to my mother and queen, but the prince's brother is very old-fashioned and is very strict with me. If the prince's brother knows that I redeem the woman in the brothel, then..." When he said this, his face was full of worries.

Chu Huan said: "If Governor Qiao is the Crown Prince's member, then he knows that His Highness redeems Miss Ling Shuang, and he will wait for His Highness to know about this..."

Yingren smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this money cannot be borrowed from Qiao Mingtang."

Chu Huan pondered for a moment and finally said, "Your Highness is so embarrassed, but the humble general has an idea, but... there are some risks!"

Yingren's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab Chu Huan's hand and said, "Chu Huan, what's your idea? As long as you can rescue Miss Ling Shuang, I will definitely reward you with great reward!"

Chu Huan thought about it, and finally approached Yingren's ear and whispered. Yingren frowned slightly and asked, "Is this OK...this?"

Chu Huan looked solemn and said, "Time doesn't wait for anyone, and we can't raise so much money for a while. In fact, although the humble general estimated that 20,000 taels of silver could redeem Miss Lingshuang, this is just an estimate. How much is it, I don't know. Miss Lingshuang is now the head of a big business and the money tree of Cuiyulou. Cuiyulou will not let go easily. It is as complicated and troublesome as it is, it is better to do this... But the funeral of the Supreme Lord must arrange it, and no mistake can happen!"

Yingren nodded slightly, picked up the wine bowl, drank a small sip, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to say, "Chu Huan, since that's the case, I can only do this. I will leave this matter to you, but you must be careful at every step and must not make any mistakes." He looked back at Sun Desheng and whispered: "I will let Sun Desheng arrange it secretly..."

Chu Huan said: "Have your highness made up his mind?"

Yingren nodded and said, "Yes, just do it!"

Chu Huan bowed and said, "Your Highness has an order, Chu Huan must do his best to accomplish this for Your Highness!"

Yingren said with a little gratitude: "Chu Huan, you are very good. When I am in the most difficult time, if you can do this for me, I will definitely remember your contributions in my heart!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Your Highness respects the wise and the nobles, he values ​​Chu Huan so much, and he can also regard Chu Huan as a friend. Since he is a friend, it is Chu Huan's honor to be able to help!"

Yingren laughed, the haze on his face just now suddenly dissipated a lot, he picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, let's drink!"
