Chapter 474: No Marriage Proposal

The second prince is stupid?

Ling Chu thought of many possible outcomes of the second prince, such as being arrested, injured, imprisoned, or even sentenced to death by the emperor.

But he never thought that he would become a fool.

Princess Dingyuan was also surprised, "What's going on? How could the second prince be stupid?"

When it comes to this, King Dingyuan also has a complicated expression.

Knowing that the second prince is plotting rebellion, he is now hiding in Nancheng.

The emperor sent King Dingyuan and Commander Pang to lead the troops to follow Qingfeng to Nancheng to capture him.

It was thought that it would take a lot of effort to catch the second prince, after all, there is a Taoist priest Wuwei with powerful magic beside him. This person has extraordinary means and will definitely protect the second prince.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Nancheng, Qingfeng only calculated casually and found the place where the second prince was hiding.

Not only did he find the second prince quickly, but there was no fighting and blocking as expected.

When he just kicked the door open and saw the second prince, everyone was stunned.

The second prince, who was once so precious, sat in the yard with his hair disheveled and acting crazy. The brocade robe on his body was not only tattered, but also dirty and smelly.

He was worse than a beggar.

If it weren't for the fact that his face was still the same, King Dingyuan and his men would have almost thought that they had found the wrong person.

Princess Dingyuan had also heard about Ao Bing's impersonation of the second prince.

She couldn't help but ask, "How could the second prince become like that? Could it be that... the one you found was also fake?"

King Dingyuan shook his head, "No, it's definitely the second prince."

It's no wonder that the princess asked this question.

In fact, King Dingyuan and his men also suspected it at the time.

Because the process of finding the second prince was too smooth, and with Ao Bing's previous experience, everyone suspected that the crazy second prince in front of them was also fake.

However, after Qingfeng's inspection, it was confirmed that it was the second prince himself.

But even so, no one dared to believe that this crazy fool was the second prince.

It is suspected that he did not have time to escape from the city, so he had to pretend to be crazy and stupid. He wanted the emperor and the queen mother to have pity on him and let him live so that he could make a comeback.

However, when they brought the second prince back to the palace, Xuanyi Zhenren saw him and confirmed that the second prince was really stupid.

According to Xuanyi Zhenren, the reason why the second prince was stupid was because his soul was incomplete. The original three souls and seven spirits, only one soul and three spirits were left.

No one knew what happened to the second prince after he escaped from the palace. Perhaps in order to prevent people from discovering his tracks, he only brought three guards and a serving eunuch with him.

When King Dingyuan and his men took the second prince away, they searched the small courtyard where he was hiding and found that the four people were dead. There were no injuries on their bodies, and no signs of fighting.

Qingfeng originally wanted to summon the ghosts of the four people and ask the second prince how he turned into that ghost. But he found that the souls of the four people were all destroyed.

Although there is no evidence, the ability to kill the guards and eunuchs without knowing it, and to forcibly take away the second prince's soul, all these signs point to the missing Taoist Wuwei as the person behind the scenes.

Princess Dingyuan sighed and shook her head, "I thought that Taoist Wuwei was the second prince's savior, but I didn't expect him to be his enemy. I don't know how the second prince offended him, so that the Taoist priest took such a cruel action."

Ling Chu did not sympathize with the second prince, but he had to admit that Taoist Wuwei was indeed a cruel person.

Not only was he cruel, but he was also a smart person who guessed the emperor's mind.

The second prince had become a fool. No matter how much the emperor hated him, he would not take his life for the sake of his reputation. He just imprisoned him in the second prince's mansion.

But although he was alive, this end was a thousand times more painful than death.

I didn't expect that the second prince would end up like this after planning. If he was still sane, I don't know if he would regret it.

Ling Chu quickly put the matter behind her.

After sleeping for a day and a night, she recovered a lot of her spirit.

After having a meal, she returned to her courtyard.

The next day, Ling Chu thought that Ning Chuyi and the Duke of Ningguo would bring a matchmaker to the Dingyuan Palace to propose marriage, but they never came. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't take it to heart.

The last time she left Beijing suddenly, all kinds of talisman paper in Ling Chu's shop had been sold out. When Manager Lu learned that she was back in Beijing, he immediately came to ask for a meeting.

In order to prevent the shop from closing, Ling Chu had to spend two days to make a batch of talisman paper and send it to Dayuan Tower.

In the next few days, Ling Chu was very busy.

The shop had been open for so long, and its reputation had been established. When she learned that Ling Chu was back in Beijing, her shop immediately became popular.

Some people came to buy all kinds of talisman paper, and many people came with silver to ask her to tell fortunes. Even the ghosts squeezed into the shop, asking Ling Chu to help fulfill their wishes.

There were too many things to do, so Ling Chu had to send a letter to the Rui Palace.

Xuanyi Zhenren and the eldest brother had been living in the palace, so Ling Chu couldn't ask them for help.

So he had to turn his attention to the third brother.

Qingfeng was the prince of the Rui Palace. He was in his twenties and had never wanted to get married. Seeing that he had finally returned to Beijing, the Rui King and the Rui Princess wanted to take him out to see girls every day.

Qingfeng was having a headache, and Ling Chu's letter gave him an excuse to escape. Under the pretext of helping the little sister, he came to the Dayuan Building without delay.

In the following days, the two brothers and sisters joined forces. They helped the living to tell fortunes, read faces, look at feng shui, perform rituals, make talismans and sell magic tools, and help ghosts fulfill various wishes.

Unknowingly, Ling Chu's shop really made a lot of money.

Although her prices were not high, some dignitaries and businessmen were very generous. After all, Ling Chu and Qing Feng's identities were there, one was the princess of Dingyuan King, and the other was the prince of Rui Wangfu.

When those people came to them for help, they would offer hundreds of taels of silver.

Ling Chu originally planned to charge only the set price, and would not charge any more.

But Qing Feng told Manager Lu to accept all of them.

It was not that he was greedy for money. As the prince of Rui Wangfu, Qing Feng had so much money that he could not spend it all in his ten lifetimes.

It was precisely because he was not short of money that although Qing Feng knew the mysterious arts, he would not help everyone who came to him for help. He was originally a playboy, and he did things completely based on his mood.

When he was interested, he would help others to tell fortunes.

When he was not interested, he would eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy the scenery and beauties.

When he was in a good mood, he would only charge a few hundred coins for the fortune-telling, or not charge a penny. But when he was in a bad mood, he did not refuse to accept the ten thousand gold.

If it was not for helping his junior sister, those powerful and wealthy businessmen would not even bother to give money to Qingfeng even if they came to him with silver.

Ling Chu originally planned to give half of the silver he earned to Qingfeng, but he refused.

"I am not short of money, Xiao Si, keep it for your dowry."

When Qingfeng mentioned the dowry, Ling Chu vaguely remembered that Ning Chuyi sent her back to the mansion that day, saying that he would come to Dingyuan Palace to propose marriage in two days.

But now, it has been more than half a month since she separated from him that day.

Ning Chuyi did not even send her a word, let alone propose marriage.

He did not come to see her, and she was busy with things in the shop every day, and did not go to him.
