Chapter 257 Captivity
Seeing the expression on her face, Jin Yan said again, "The shop His Highness the Crown Prince bought is certainly not bad. If you can buy it at a low price, what can you do to run it?"
"Besides, if word spreads that the dowry is really being sold, your father will have to bulldoze your princess mansion. Why bother?"
Of course Xiao Yuexi knew what Jin Yan was talking about.
"But, isn't this very undignified of me?"
"How can you be disrespectful? Listen to me, just write an IOU and pay him back when the time comes. Isn't that dignified? You don't take what he has for nothing. If the profit is good, we can also give him some interest. .”
Xiao Yuexi thought about it carefully and found it to be a good idea.
Then he came over and said, "My imperial brother has a shop on the main street, which I think is good. Many of the embroiderers there are master craftsmen who came from the palace. They have become famous in the capital over the years..."
Seeing her excited look, Jin Yan twitched her lips and said, "Be clear, he is talking about a shop with poor harvest, not the golden knot you are talking about."
If Xiao Yuexi opens this shop, Xiao Tong may not even think about giving it to her, but now Xiao Yuexi wants dignity, and they don't want to take other people's things for free, after all, they still want to save face.
"Oh. That's okay."
When Jin Yan returned from the Princess's Mansion, Xiao Yuexi had a lot of tea flowers taken away from her. They were all uprooted and planted in the courtyard where Jin Yan lived in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Jinyan said she was helpless, but she couldn't defeat her.
Xiao Tong really gave her a shop and gave her the land deed for almost no money.
Jin Yan accepted it happily, and then approached Wen Yan and proposed using the money from the Imperial Prefect's Office to buy some shops, which was better than leaving the money in the warehouse.
Wen Yan naturally agreed and said that if he entered the palace to perform deductions in the future, the emperor would pay him.
Jin Yan didn't take it seriously at first, until later she heard Jin An mention it, saying that the news that the Imperial Master suddenly wanted to settle money with the Emperor had already spread, and the Emperor was very angry when he heard about it.
"How do you calculate the money?"
Jin Yan couldn't help but ask.
"One hour makes a lot of gold."
Jinyan was stunned. If her master had taught her the art of deduction, why would she have to work so hard to earn money? Suddenly she felt that the tea in her hand no longer smelled good at all.
But from then on, the time the emperor spent looking for Wen Yan to enter the palace began to gradually decrease.
Sure enough, you should cherish the things you pay for.
When it was free, the emperor wished that Wen Yan would help him figure out everything he was going to eat today. Now, unless it is a big deal, he would never be asked to do so easily.
Too expensive.
Jin Yan was happy. If this was the case, Wen Yan would have a lot of time to help her with her homework at home. From time to time, she would ask her master to help her with Feng Shui for free.
The days passed by so fast, and before I knew it, all the tea flowers in the yard were in bloom, and the scorching summer sun made people feel dizzy.
Jinyan was immersed in the joy of studying and doing business every day, and the days passed very quickly.
When I go out to Suijieju, it is normal to come home late.
That day, the wind was gentle outside and the moonlight was just right. She abandoned the carriage and walked on the main street of the capital in the moonlight. Looking at the clear glow on the stone road, she suddenly felt great emotion.
Her people contacted Chu Hong a while ago and asked her if she would like to return to the capital. Chu Hong refused, saying that she was fine.
Jin Yan felt relieved and didn't ask too much.
Yijue's past is as he said, clean. Children from ordinary families were sold to Qingxuan Tower because they couldn't afford to eat.
There were indeed small vendors selling those tea cans in the capital, so perhaps he was wrongly blamed.
One thing came to mind.
Everything in the past gathers and disperses like clouds and smoke.
There was a strange noise suddenly, and she paused. When she looked back, she saw that at some point there were more than a dozen people in black standing on the street.
The opponent held a scimitar in his hand, with an awe-inspiring air.
"The princess!"
Haitang has always been in the dark, and the nearest secret guards have been sent out by Jin Yan to do things, so Haitang naturally follows her every step of the way.
"Who are you?"
Jin Yan's face showed coldness.
She rarely showed up at banquets recently, so as not to antagonize others.
At the emperor's feet, this group of people would not kill anyone, so they wanted to kidnap her?
Her words did not receive any response, but within a moment, the biting cold air arrived before her eyes.
Jin Yan turned sideways to avoid the attack. Qing Shiyue was already holding it in her hand. With a stabbing sound, the other party snorted, with surprise in her eyes.
None of them expected that Princess Jiayu was actually a martial artist. The group looked at each other and quickly divided into two groups, one to deal with Haitang and the other with Jinyan.
The long silent night was broken by the sound of fighting.
Jinyan's martial arts was not weak, but it was very difficult to deal with these people.
"What are you doing?"
The patrolling soldier roared angrily. Jin Yan kicked the person in front of her away and looked back, "I am Princess Jiayu, why don't you come and help me quickly!"
Her voice was clear and clear, and those people were stunned and ran over without hesitation.
"call out!"
Jin Yan suddenly had a premonition of something, and when she turned around, the arrow from her sleeve came through the air, catching her off guard.
My shoulder shivered with pain, and my whole body couldn't help but take a few steps back.
She looked over in disbelief, but could only see the black clothes disappearing on the side of the house.
"The princess!"
Haitang was distracted by worry and was kicked away hard.
Seeing the scimitar reaching her neck, Jin Yan rushed over and opened it up without thinking, "Go back and find someone to save me!"
The pain in her body made her almost grit her teeth when she spoke, pushing Haitang back, "They are not trying to kill me, don't worry."
Haitang turned around and disappeared into the night. Jinyan followed them with almost no resistance. There was a drug in her sleeve arrows. She was already unconscious at the moment and there was no need to put up much resistance.
The patrolling soldiers were no match for the well-trained killers. They watched Jin Yan being kidnapped and hurriedly asked people to report it to their superiors.
When Jin Yan woke up, she was in a cave. Before she could see the situation clearly, she was attracted by a burst of pain.
The sleeve arrow on the shoulder has not yet been withdrawn, and black blood scabs are stained on the pink clothes. The slightest movement makes the whole arm numb with pain.
She didn't notice that in the other corner of the cave, someone was staring at her, looking at her. .
