Chapter 369 The Beautiful Courtesan Attracts the King's Heart 14

The time soon came to three quarters past the hour of Mao. Zhou Xianjin had been lying on the roof for half the night, and then watched a woman walk out from the next room.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering if he was hallucinating. How come there was a woman imprisoned here besides his good friend?

The woman gently pushed open Lu Zhengning's door: "Mr. Lu, it's time to get up." Then she naturally stretched out her hand and placed it on Lu Zhengning's wrist.

"Miss Xia Yu, I'm really fine now. You don't need to be so cautious."

"Well, the pulse is indeed good. Then you should pack up and get ready to get up. I will make breakfast."

"Okay, come on."

Seeing such a lifelike scene, Zhou Xianjin couldn't believe his eyes. Is this still the Lu Zhengning he knew?

But what happened next was even more surprising. In Zhou Xianjin's eyes, the spoiled Mr. Lu was actually squatting in a small kitchen, talking and laughing, helping that woman to make... a fire! ?

But both of them have become accustomed to this, and looking at his skillful movements, one can tell that he has done this a lot in the past two months.

If he hadn't known Lu Zhengning for many years and was not familiar with some of his unique little habits, Zhou Xianjin might have really suspected that the person in front of him had been switched.

However, all signs indicate that this person is indeed the real Lu Zhengning.

He was originally wondering how Chu Yuan managed to keep people here since there was no one guarding the place. Now he finally realized that it was a beauty trap.

In fact, Chu Yuan had not expected the development of the situation. Originally, she left Xia Yu here, one to treat Lu Zhengning's injuries, and the other to take care of his daily life.

Unexpectedly, after two months of spending time together, they developed feelings for each other.

Chu Yuan didn't care about this. From the moment Xia Yu was given an identity, he was not only a puppet who obeyed her orders, but also a human being with his own thoughts.

After helping her fulfill the original owner's wish, Chu Yuan would not interfere with what kind of life Xia Yu wanted to live.

So we have the scene that Zhou Xianjin sees now. Although Mr. Lu’s living conditions are not as good as before, he is happy with it.

After confirming that his friend was indeed alive, Zhou Xianjin believed most of what Chu Yuan said. The fact that she was willing to risk her life to save Lu Zhengning was enough to show that she was indeed unwilling to work for the prince anymore.

At this point, you can start planning the next step.

So in the evening of the next day, Zhou Xianjin once again appeared in Chu Yuan's room in Fengyue Tower.

"It's really not easy to see you now. It cost me five hundred taels of silver to get mother to let me in."

"Five hundred taels is just a small amount for the prince, right? Besides, I left a window for you and solved the surveillance of the secret guards for you. You insisted on going through the main gate openly. Who can you blame for this?"

Following Chu Yuan's line of sight, Zhou Xianjin saw the small gap deliberately left in the window. With his skills, it was indeed not a difficult task.

Just climbing through the window to enter a girl's boudoir is not a gentlemanly act, especially since the girl in the boudoir is Chu Yuan. Zhou Xianjin felt it was even more inappropriate.

Seeing his expression at this moment, Chu Yuan guessed most of what Zhou Xianjin was thinking. What a conservative and stubborn ancient man. Jumping through the window was like asking for his life.

That's five hundred taels of silver. If it were her, she wouldn't even blink, okay?

Comparing reputation and money, of course money is more important.

"There are so many things you can do with this money. It's not a rational thing to rush to give money to your opponent."

The words imply that the entire Fengyue Tower belongs to the prince's property, and Zhou Xianjin's behavior is completely shooting himself in the foot.

Sure enough, after understanding her meaning, Zhou Xianjin immediately tightened his purse and at the same time convinced himself in his heart that there was nothing wrong with climbing through the window as it would reduce costs.

"Let's talk business. Did you meet Lu Zhengning yesterday? Is that confirmed?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xianjin bowed in the direction of Chu Yuan and said, "Brother Lu is my friend for many years. Now that he has been able to save his life, I would like to thank Miss Chu for showing mercy."

Chu Yuan turned his body aside and did not accept his greeting.

Because in the original world, the original owner did kill Lu Zhengning, and Lu Zhengning had suffered an unexpected disaster. Although he did not kill him, he was seriously injured and could not return home.

Therefore, Chu Yuan thought that she did not deserve Zhou Xianjin's thanks.

However, Zhou Xianjin didn't think so. The person who wanted to kill Lu Zhengning was the prince. Even if Chu Yuan didn't take on this task, there would be someone else.

And if it were someone else, what they saw might actually be a corpse.

They both have their own reasons, so they simply don't bother themselves with such trivial matters. As long as the result is good, it's fine.

As long as the person is alive, the cooperation can continue. If the person is dead, there will be a life between the two of them. Given Zhou Xianjin's character, he will spare no effort to avenge his best friend.

"Tell me about your plan. To what extent can you let Brother Lu go? Also, since you obeyed the prince before, there must be some weakness that he has in his hands. Do you need my help to solve it?"

"I want the crown prince to be deposed, or a new emperor to ascend the throne."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xianjin immediately covered her mouth: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Before hearing this, Zhou Xianjin always thought that Chu Yuan's cooperation was just to get revenge or save someone. It was called cooperation, but in fact he just wanted to seek help from him.

I didn't expect that her ambition was so big, and she actually dared to say such outrageous words.

This forced him to re-examine the woman in front of him. Was she really just a simple secret guard?

"You don't have to look at me like that. I just don't want him to have an easy life. As long as he loses his position as crown prince, I will never interfere in what happens next."

She had no interest in the struggle for imperial power, nor did she care who would sit on the throne in the end.

After fulfilling the original owner's wish, Chu Yuan prepared to take his brother away from this troubled place, away from the capital, to find a place with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate to spend the rest of his life.
