"Little Young Master, this lowly one has yet to introduce myself. This lowly one surnamed Mo, given name is Nian Yuan. The Mo Nian (distant thought) from gathering views of the landscape reminds one of distant thought. That is because when my mother gave birth to me, she was ignored by my father. When she stared at the landscape, she would be laden with grief. However, I'm not surnamed Mo actually but since my father didn't want us mother and son anymore, my mother let me surnamed Mo. The Mo (no) in no want."

Mei Qian Deng was wholeheartedly trying to make a dash in the night so she ignored that person completely.

This brother who introduced himself as Mo Nian Yuan was laying in the carriage. Only his head was outside the curtain of the carriage. Originally, Mei Qian Deng had tied his hands behind his back with the rope looped around his neck before throwing him into the horse carriage beside Chu Xun's legs. However, this fellow had a tenacious willpower like a caterpillar as he s.h.i.+fted little by little from beside Chu Xun's legs to the carriage's door and put his head through.

"Little Young Master~~"

Mei Qian Deng was pestered beyond her endurance as her slender, agile, long finger hit once, sealing this person's mute acupoint.

Mo Nian Yuan changed into using scorching hot staring. He laid there while staring at Mei Qian Deng nonstop. He attempted to use the strength of thought and eye expression to move the aloof Seventh Young Master Mei.

It was Mei Qian Deng's first time meeting such a shameless person. In the end, she had no other way but to stuff the remaining half of the afternoon steamed bun into his mouth. Then she stretched out the oil paper to cover his head. Only then it was considered quiet.

Mo Nian Yuan: Boo hoo, the steamed bun is too big, I can't chew it. My saliva is dripping……

Chu Xun: This imposter is so disgusting! He's like a dog with his saliva flowing all over the horse carriage!!!

After going through an interrogation with torture, it could be said that Mo Nian Yuan confessed willingly.

He had indeed disguised as the Crown Prince to swindle food and drink. His original words were like this: "The female cook in Ru Nunnery is extremely foolish. I only didn't go there to eat vegetarian food but who would have thought Lady Su will run to the capital to find the Crown Prince?! Little Young Master, I'm not even a monk, how can I endure just eating vegetarian food? Don't you think so?"

He spoke as if he was quite wronged.

"At that time I didn't know Lady Su had went to find me. After a few days, when I go there again, I found out the female cook had been changed. To be honest, her skills are completely inferior to Lady Su but her figure is better than Lady Su. I swear, at that time I really don't have any devious idea. It is she who insisted me to stay. When she asked who I'm, I thought of what if Lady Su returns after unable to find me in the capital. If she finds out that this female cook has an affair with the Crown Prince too, I think the two of them will fight each other to death with spatulas. Don't you think so too? That's why, I said that I'm Prince Chen……"

Hehe, you're really resourceful!

Mei Qian Deng quietly measured him. Mo Nian Yuan felt embarra.s.sed being stared by her so he lowered his head and drew back slowly. "Little Young Master, although I quite like you, like you more than delicacies and pretty ladies, I'm not that type of person. I only like girls. Please don't look at me like that. I'm a man with unmoved stand."

Chu Xun attentively thought. This Mo Nian Yuan was a jianghu hooligan. He had disguised as the Crown Prince but he didn't have any other intention. For the government as well as the situation wouldn't evolve into any problem.

However, he was too talkative. If they pa.s.sed him over to the local authorities, with littlest work, he could embellish the experience of the Crown Prince and his study partner went to the nunnery to catch him. If it was at any other time, it was fine but now with the snow disaster in Anxi and the salt smuggling, the Crown Prince had declared to the outsiders that he had went to the Xiangguo Temple to pray for good fortune so that they wouldn't inadvertently alert the enemy. If Mo Nian Yuan this rat s.h.i.+t was pa.s.sed over to the local authorities, nine out of nine he would spoil a bowl of good congee.

Thereupon, Chu Xun despite being very unwilling, he decided to take in this little demon.

Chu Xun had straightened his clothes and sat up properly while Mo Nian Yuan laid beside his legs. The former said, "Do you know, disguising as the Crown Prince leads to decapitation punishment?"

Mo Nian Yuan paused before crying. "Your Highness, please spare my life!"

"However, since you wors.h.i.+p Mei Qian Deng so much, I can give you a choice which you don't have to die. You just need to follow Mei Qian Deng."

Little imposter Mo was surprised. He instantly straightened his upper body. His tears and snot were still around but he had a happy face. Using his knees he slowly came forward and hugged Chu Xun's thigh. Was there such a good thing? "I……" The "willing" part had yet to be spoken out when Chu Xun first signalled him to stay put while simultaneously pulled back his thigh.

"I have yet to finish speaking. Mei Qian Deng need to enter the palace. You too need to enter the palace. Mei Qian Deng has a special ident.i.ty so he can enter the palace as he wish. You however can't. If you want to enter the palace, first you need to go to the Office of Eunuch Affairs. Choose by yourself, whether you want the immediate death type or the life is better than death type?"

Little imposter Mo drooped his head. He knew there was no such good thing. The Crown Prince was sinister and crafty to actually dig a hole for him to jump into. To die or to be eunuch. How was he supposed to choose? Mo Nian Yuan thought for a very long time. He had frown until both his eyebrows had connected. He was in such agony that he tweaked his ears and scratched his cheeks. In the end, he took a deep breath. Then he threw out his chest and raised his head. He bravely said, "Little Young Master, I'm willing to be eunuch for your sake!"

Mei Qian Deng, "……"

"Asking Little Young Master to help accomplish it!"

Mei Qian Deng was silent for a moment then she said, "You don't have to be castrated. I don't need you."

Mo Nian Yuan was instantly br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. With watery eyes, he faced Mei Qian Deng. It was far pitiful that a puppy. Chu Xun deeply thought. This fellow in acting could be considered as a capable style idol too.

"Are you willing to go to the brothel?" Mei Qian Deng quickly followed up.

Eh?

Mo Nian Yuan obviously was unable to catch up with Mei Qian Deng's jumping thinking. Not only Mo Nian Yuan, even Chu Xun couldn't make a reaction. The latter suspected: For what reason is this boor trying to send this imposter to the brothel?! Chu Xun blinked three times before he suddenly responded. It can't be this boor is planning to send this imposter to Qing Feng Ming Yue Brothel to be a planted agent?! He was greatly alarmed. "Mei Qian Deng! This can't do!"

Since when female warrior Mei had ever considered the Crown Prince's opinion? She seriously looked at little imposter Mo and repeated, "Are you willing? To go to the brothel?"

Mo Nian Yuan's tears were falling down in patters. He hugged his own shoulders. With a deadly pale face he said, "Little Young Master, I'm a man……" Although he knew that there were male prost.i.tutes known as money boy…… Mo Nian Yuan at first felt sorry for his own little brother. People said better a bad life than a good death. If the little brother was gone, it would be gone forever! He had never thought his wors.h.i.+ped Seventh Young Master Mei was far ruthless. Now he silently felt sorry for his chrysanthemum too.

"I want you to go to a certain brothel and investigate something."

Chu Xun was still protesting, "Mei Qian Deng! No! I don't agree."

When Mo Nian Yuan who originally had hollow mental state heard the meaning behind Mei Qian Deng's words, he instantly regained hope. He tested the water as he asked, "Little Young Master's meaning is for me to be a planted agent, not to sell body?"

"If you think selling body is far easier to gather information, there's no harm in doing it."

"No, no, no, it's enough to be planted agent. Little Young Master, let me tell you. Although I'm a hooligan but I'm sharp and intelligent. No matter where I'm, I can get along well. Especially when towards girls. No matter what sort of information you want to know, I guaranteed in three days I can give answer that will satisfied you!" Little imposter Mo was too happy. Little Young Master Mei is a very nice person. Not only he let me retain my little brother, even my chrysanthemum is preserved. Both front and back are preserved!

Chu Xun all along thought Mo Nian Yuan was unreliable. He couldn't understand Mei Qian Deng's course of action. Hence, he could only go complain to Senior Official Song.

During this journey, Chu Xun noticed Mei Qian Deng was very respectful towards Senior Official Song.

Chu Xun reproached about Mei Qian Deng's own initiative act but he never thought that Senior Official Song would grin happily while nodding. The latter even persuaded him instead. "Little Long, you need to believe Little Deng. Little Deng will never do uncertain things."

Such words of Senior Official Song choked Chu Xun on. He actually had no way to refute.

"Then tell me, Senior Official. What's the reasoning behind this action of his?!"

Senior Official Song rolled his eyes. "I'm not Mei Qian Deng, how should I know? Just ask her properly."

Chu Xun died. It was exactly because he didn't want to ask that boor properly. He just felt awkward with this boor. Even Chu Xun actually agreed with Senior Official Song deep in his heart that Mei Qian Deng would never do uncertain things. Letting that Mo Nian Yuan to be a planted agent in Qing Feng Ming Yue Brothel, he must have his reasoning. As the dignified Crown Prince, it can't be I'm inferior to the all brawn no brains Mei Qian Deng?!

By luck, Mei Qian Deng came and knocked the door. Chu Xun turned vigilant all over as if he was a fighting c.o.c.k.

Mei Qian Deng didn't take notice of Chu Xun's stare. She tied up Mo Nian Yuan again and carried him into Senior Official Song's room. "I will have to trouble Senior Official to look after him for these few nights." Leaving this person in her room was honestly too annoying, making noises until her head hurt.

Senior Official Song was as if they were only placing object as he pointed at a corner with a finger. "Just throw it there."

"Little Young Master, don't~"
