Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 121: Baoyue Tower solves Leng Feibai's marriage

After hearing this, Emperor Qing sat up from the bed and said to Eunuch Hou, "You go out first and wait outside."

Eunuch Hou was also frightened by Fan Jian's appearance. After receiving Emperor Qing's order, he immediately left the house.

"The last son!"

Emperor Qing repeated it, and said angrily, "Why would I touch your son? Tell me, what did I do to Fan Sizhe?"

Seeing this, Fan Jian took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, it seems you don't know that the Third Prince has opened a shop outside called Baoyue Tower, but he uses my son Fan Sizhe's name."

As soon as these words fell, Emperor Qing was even more stunned. He said unhappily, "For such a small matter, although it is against the rules for the two of them to engage in business, you don't need to come to the palace."

"That Baoyue Tower is a brothel!"

Fan Jian said calmly, "It's still a brothel that forces women of good character into prostitution!"

After saying this, Fan Jian took out the evidence from his arms that proved that Baoyue Tower forced women of good families into prostitution and handed it to Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing was also stunned and took the evidence to read it.

But a moment later, Emperor Qing's roar echoed throughout the palace, "Call Li Chengping and Concubine Yi!"

Seeing Emperor Qing's furious expression, Fan Jian was afraid that things might get out of hand, so he quickly said to Emperor Qing, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Third Prince might have been used..."

After saying that, Fan Jian quickly told the two children about the business philosophy of Baoyue Tower.

After hearing this, Emperor Qing thought about it carefully and immediately realized that his silly son was probably deceived by someone. When Fan Jian found out about it, he thought it was his own doing, so he came to the palace to settle the score with him.

Not long after, Concubine Yi and Li Chengping, who looked confused, came directly to Emperor Qing's bedroom.

As soon as the two came in, they saw Emperor Qing looking at them with a sullen face.

Concubine Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately knew why Emperor Qing asked them to come over so late at night. It was 100% certain that her stupid son had done something bad.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yi pulled Li Chengping to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, you called me and Chengping here so late at night, but what crime did Chengping commit?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengping immediately cried out, "Father, I am wronged. I have been staying in the palace obediently all this time. How could I possibly cause trouble?"

"I'm asking you what's going on with Baoyue Tower?"

As soon as Emperor Qing finished speaking, Concubine Yi was stunned, but Li Chengping understood, especially when he saw his uncle Fan Jian was also there.

No matter how stupid Li Chengping was, he knew that Fan Sizhe had sold him out.

"How could this cousin cheat me like this!"

Li Chengping complained in his heart and said with a look of panic, "Father, I did go into business with my cousin Sizhe, but I didn't do anything that violated Qing law."

Seeing Li Chengping's panic, Emperor Qing and Fan Jian had the same thought in their minds, "This fool has definitely been used."

"Li Chengping!"

Emperor Qing took a deep breath and said, "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of the Baoyue Tower that you and Fan Sizhe opened?"

"My uncle has already told you, why are you still asking me?"

Although Li Chengping's voice was low, it did not escape the ears of these people.

"I want to hear you say it yourself!"

As soon as Emperor Qing's voice fell, Li Chengping was startled and quickly told Fan Sizhe the business philosophy he had told him.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi breathed a sigh of relief. If the business philosophy of Baoyue Tower was really the same as what her son said, then the mistake they made would not be too serious.

But the next sentence made Concubine Yi's heart wrench.

Emperor Qing said with a gloomy face, "So, you don't know that Baoyue Tower is a brothel, and that it's a business that forces women of good character into prostitution."

"what"

Li Chengping shuddered, nearly bursting into tears as he said, "Father, how could I possibly have the guts to do that? Mother would beat me to death if I opened a brothel!"

Concubine Yi was also anxious and wanted to beat the brat with a rattan stick, but now was not the time to think about such things.

"Your Majesty, Chengping grew up under your care. He wouldn't have the guts to do such a wicked thing."

Emperor Qing listened to the two people's explanations and continued to ask, "It's not that I don't believe you, Chengping, tell me. Where did the girl in Baoyue Tower come from? Otherwise..."

Li Chengping was extremely troubled after hearing this. Seeing this, Concubine Yi raised her hand and patted him on the back, saying, "You little bastard! Why don't you just tell me now!"

Li Chengping didn't dare to hide it anymore and quickly said, "It was my second brother. Whether it was Baoyue Tower, Yuan Meng who was in charge of the management, or the girls there, they were all found by my second brother for me. He said I didn't have to worry about it, as long as my cousin and I were listed as the owners and the money would be ours. He didn't want anything else!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's face darkened. He now understood what was going on.

After a moment, Emperor Qing raised his head and said, "I understand. This matter is over. Don't spread it outside. It's getting late. You should all go back and rest."

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yi boldly asked, "Your Majesty, what about Baoyue Tower..."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, I will handle it!"

Emperor Qing waved his hand, with a hint of annoyance in his tone, and told them to leave quickly.

Just as they were about to leave, Emperor Qing suddenly looked up and asked, "Fan Jian, where did you get this evidence?"

After hearing this, Fan Jian turned around and bowed, saying, "I ran into Sizhe after he returned home. After I learned about Baoyue Tower, I sent one of my guards, who is skilled in infiltration and investigation, to investigate. He discovered the truth. Your Majesty, would you like to see him?"

"no need!"

Emperor Qing waved his hand, signaling Fan Jian and the others to leave.

But the matter was not over yet. It is said that on that night, screams rang out in Concubine Yi's palace for a whole hour. After the screams stopped, the palace maids threw out four broken rattan sticks.

The next morning, the news that Baoyue Tower was deserted spread throughout Kyoto.

But for some reason, when Kyoto Prefecture reported the incident, there was no response, as if the incident had never happened.

Five days later, in Shangjing City, Leng Feibai was strolling on the street with Haitang Duoduo.

Listening to the people around her discussing the smuggling incident between the inner treasury and Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but sigh and said, "This news is still being discussed. It seems that no matter how hard Shen Zhong tries to suppress it, he can't suppress it at all."

Leng Feibai, carrying a vegetable basket, said with a smile, "After all, this is a matter of interests, so it's to be expected that some people will not put in enough effort. Furthermore, Fan Xian pushed Shangshan Hu to your old lady, affecting Shen Zhong's position as the most trusted confidant. I'm afraid that even within the Jinyiwei, they will feel that Shen Zhong has fallen out of favor."

"That is!"

Fan Xian appeared from nowhere and said, "Don't you even look at who came up with this plan?"

Looking at Fan Xian who suddenly came out, Leng Feibai said helplessly, "Why are you here? How come everything is done?"

"Most of it is done, just a few small things left!"

Fan Xian quickly said, "I'm not here to be a candle. My sister-in-law asked me to come here and said she wanted to treat me to dinner."

Leng Feibai looked at Haitang Duoduo and couldn't help asking, "Why did you ask him to come? Didn't you ask me to come here for something important tonight?"

"Some things require a witness!"

As Haitang Duoduo spoke, she came to the vegetable stall nearby and picked up some vegetables, saying, "My senior brother is coming too, so I have to cook more dishes tonight!" Leng Feibai looked completely confused after hearing what Haitang Duoduo said, but after all, they were on the street now and there was no way for him to start divination.

After buying a lot of vegetables, the three of them hurried all the way to Haitang Duoduo's bamboo house outside the city.

As soon as the three of them entered, they saw Lang Tao with his arms folded, looking at them with a conflicted expression.

"Long time no see, old wolf!"

Leng Feibai greeted him and asked, "Is your master okay?"

"It's okay!"

Lang Tao said indifferently, "Before you return to Nanqing, remember to go see the teacher. He has something to tell you!"

Leng Feibai was stunned after hearing this and asked curiously, "If you have anything to say, why don't you just tell me a sentence? Why do you still need..."

"If you want to marry my junior sister, you must discuss this with the teacher in person. His Majesty will also report this matter to your Majesty in the form of a letter from the emperor!"

Lang Tao said unhappily, "Go to the right wing and change into the clothes in the room."

Leng Feibai was stunned again. Before he could speak, Lang Tao continued, "Why, if you want to wear this white dress to get married, I have no objection!"

"marriage!"

Leng Feibai and Fan Xian screamed, and Leng Feibai looked at Haitang Duoduo in surprise.

Haitang Duoduo blushed and said, "Why, don't you want to marry me?"

"Of course I want to marry you!"

Leng Feibai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No matter what, isn't this a bit hasty?"

"What's so sloppy!"

Haitang Duoduo raised her head and looked at him and said, "Now that you're gone, I don't know when we'll see each other again. So let's get married first, and then we can have another one when we get to Qing Country!"

"what!"

Leng Feibai smiled and said, "Now I understand why you asked Fan Xian to come here. After all, one from the husband's family and one from the wife's family are enough to serve as witnesses."

After saying that, Leng Feibai walked forward and looked at Haitang Duoduo lovingly, saying, "Duoduo, when we get to Nanqing in the future, I will give you a luxurious wedding. But before you change your clothes, shouldn't you prepare the meal first?"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he hugged Haitang Duoduo, pecked her on the head, then turned and went into the kitchen to get busy.

In the darkness of the bamboo building, two pairs of eyes were staring at them secretly.

"There are two more people in Xizhu Tower, and one of them should be Si Lili!"

Leng Feibai thought to himself, "It seems that there are other things tonight, but I am not without preparation in the dark."

After a flurry of activity, more than a dozen dishes, both meat and vegetables, were served on the table.

Leng Feibai and Haitang Duoduo also changed into red wedding clothes and came to the table where the dragon and phoenix wedding candles were lit.

Looking at the two of them, Fan Xian volunteered to stand up and expressed his willingness to be their witness.

The others did not object. After all, the most talented writer here was Fan Xian, the guy known as the Immortal Poet.

Fan Xian coughed twice and said in modern language, "Dear guests, we are gathered here to witness the marriage of these two. May their love be as deep as the sea and everlasting."

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

Although what Fan Xian said was not appropriate, they could also hear that Fan Xian was sincerely blessing them.

"Cough cough!"

Fan Xian coughed twice more and said, "Mr. Leng Feibai, are you willing to marry Miss Haitang Duoduo?"

"I am willing!"

Leng Feibai cooperated very well and shouted out loudly.

Fan Xian turned to look at Haitang Duoduo, "Miss Haitang Duoduo, are you willing to marry Young Master Leng Feibai?"

"I do too!"

Haitang Duoduo was also very happy. Fan Xian continued, "Then, no one here objects to their marriage, right?"

"no!"

Lang Tao also shouted in cooperation. After all, at this time, anyone who dared to shout out opposition must be prepared to be beaten to death by Haitang Duoduo.

"Then I declare that you are officially married under the eternal holy light!"

Fan Xian raised his arms and said, "Now you can drink from the wedding cup!"

Haitang Duoduo and Leng Feibai smiled, picked up the wine cups in front of them and drank the wine.

The four of them then sat down. Now they had no political stance, but just chatted happily about the moon at its zenith as ordinary friends and a true couple.

Fan Xian was the first of the four to get drunk. While the others were still chatting, he had already fallen asleep on the table.

"I've almost finished drinking!"

Lang Tao blushed and said, "Junior Sister, Brother-in-law, it's time for you to enter the bridal chamber!"

"Duoduo, you go in first!"

Leng Feibai's face was also a little drunken, "I have settled my brother..."

"Leave him to me!"

Lang Tao stood up and pulled Fan Xian up, his tone full of drunkenness, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Your brother is also my brother. I won't let anything happen to him!"

After saying that, Lang Tao supported Fan Xian and walked into the room where the scents of two women were hidden.

Leng Feibai was too lazy to care. After sending a message to his clone to protect Fan Xian's safety, he picked up Princess Haitang Duoduo and went into their original room.

The small house was filled with festive atmosphere. Leng Feibai looked at the wedding candles and other necessary items inside and said to Haitang Duoduo, "It seems your nephew has sent quite a few people to help with your wedding. But at least hang some red cloth or something in the yard to make it more festive."

After saying that, Leng Feibai raised his hand and sat down next to Haitang Duoduo. Looking at the big red quilt on the bed, he casually grabbed a handful of peanuts and red dates from the bedside table and started eating with Haitang Duoduo.

Haitang Duoduo took a bite of the red date, looked at Leng Feibai and said, "Are you worried about something?"

Leng Feibai was silent for a moment before saying, "Duoduo, there's something I don't want to hide from you. The spy I left in Kyoto yesterday brought me some news."

Before Leng Feibai could tell her what the news was, Haitang Duoduo rushed over and pushed him onto the bed, saying, "Looking at you, it doesn't look like good news. I don't want your bad news to ruin my mood."

Looking at the blossoming crabapples, Leng Feibai sighed and raised his hand to strike out two Five Luo Qingyan Palms.

The lights in the room and the clothes on the two people were all extinguished and shattered. Everything was self-evident.

　Sorry, I was delayed by something. I will post an extra 2,000 words to compensate everyone.
