Chapter 908 Butler Cui is under house arrest
"Sir, what do you mean by this? Why do you want me to accompany you out of the city?"
When Cui Yingying heard Chu Mo's words, she frowned slightly, narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, and looked at Chu Mo doubtfully.
"Mrs. Cui, I came here after discussing with His Highness the Crown Prince. Now the situation in the city is unclear and very dangerous. We must send everyone from Duke Wei's mansion out of the city."
"But I've just arrived, and I don't have any property in my name, so I can't protect everyone in the Weiguo Palace."
"But if they are placed in the property under the prince's name, they will definitely not escape the eyes of his other brothers and the ministers of the court. Therefore, after discussing it, we decided to temporarily place them under your Cui family. No. Do you know what Madam Cui wants?"
Cui Yingying naturally didn't have any objections when she heard that people from Duke Wei's mansion were to be placed in her own property.
Her original intention was to protect the people in Duke Wei's palace and make friends with Li Jing and Chu Mo.
Wait until the morning of tomorrow, and directly ask the officials with the five surnames and Qiwang to jointly submit a petition to Li Shimin, asking him to withdraw the imperial order, absolve the Weiguo government of all the blame, and start a new life.
Now that I heard that the other party still wants to place them in their own property, I will not refuse.
However, after thinking about it, Cui Yingying always felt that something was missing.
However, seeing that the other party looked anxious now, it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he nodded and said:
"In that case, I will follow you."
After speaking, he called a steward and ordered:
"Prepare the carriage and horses, I want to leave the city."
The steward took the order and immediately sent people to prepare the carriages and horses.
It was only then that Cui Yingying realized that her housekeeper, who seemed to be her own housekeeper, accompanied the barbarian in front of her to the Prince's Mansion. But why did the two people who left together come back together, but only the other person came back?And his butler seemed to be missing.
"Mr. Marco Polo, I don't know, has my butler come back with you?"
Cui Yingying's beautiful eyes were flowing, and she looked at Chu Mo without blinking and asked.
Chu Mo was on guard for a long time. When Cui Yingying asked, he took out Li Chengqian's waist badge, handed it to Cui Yingying and said:
"Mrs. Cui, it was urgent just now, I forgot to mention it."
"After I met with His Highness the Crown Prince before, I noticed that Butler Cui had a strange demeanor. Before leaving, His Highness the Crown Prince was worried that something might happen, so he stayed in the house as a guest."
Cui Yingying carefully checked the waist tag that Chu Mo handed over. After confirming that it was the prince's personal waist tag, she handed it back to Chu Mo.
However, she sneered at what Chu Mo said about the housekeeper's strange demeanor.
If the butler simply failed to control his expression and made some mistake, he would definitely not be retained.
The other party said nicely that he was staying as a guest, but in fact, he was probably under house arrest, right?
It's just that the other party saved face for himself, so he didn't talk about it.
Thinking of this, Cui Yingying's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then she said calmly:
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince is so polite, I would like to thank you on behalf of the butler."
Chu Mo waved his hands hurriedly and said:
"Mrs. Cui is so polite. When this matter is over, if you want to thank me, His Highness the Crown Prince has said that I hope you will come to visit me personally."
After hearing what Chu Mo said, Cui Yingying understood that there must be something else she didn't know, so Li Chengqian wanted to visit him.
Maybe it was because of Butler Cui's affairs that the prince was unhappy and wanted to go over and give an explanation.
However, the only thing that she couldn't understand was that Butler Cui had been working diligently in the Cui Mansion and had never made any mistakes. How could he make such a big mistake in this small matter?And he was put under house arrest by the prince?
Cui Yingying never dreamed that she, like Li Chengqian, had been tricked by Chu Mo.
Soon, the carriages and horses were ready.
Seeing that time was running out, Cui Yingying did not delay any further. She took Chu Mo and got into her carriage and went directly out of the gate of Cui Mansion.
As soon as she went out, Cui Yingying saw the carriages and horses of Duke Wei's Mansion outside the door, and also saw the guards of the Prince's Mansion guarding them on both sides.
I couldn't help but believe a little more in Chu Mo's words.
The guard captain of the Prince's Mansion immediately recognized Cui Yingying's driver when he saw it.
Through the curtains, the guard captain faintly saw Chu Mo and Cui Yingying sitting inside, and knew that the other party had not deceived him.
Being able to persuade the head of the Cui family to go with him to escort him was enough to show how much he attached importance to the Duke Wei's family.
And with the head of the Cui family accompanying him, his escort this time can be said to be fair and upright.
Even if someone gossips in front of the prince, he can just talk back to him.
With Cui Yingying in charge, the guard captain became more courageous.
Without saying a word, he asked his men to clear the way in front, and the group headed straight towards Mingde Gate.
Soon, we arrived at Mingde Gate.
This time, Chu Mo didn't see Cheng Chumo again.
The temporary gatekeeper is an old man in his fifties.
When I saw a group of people heading here in a mighty manner, I immediately became nervous.
However, when he saw that the other party had no intention of forcing his way in, and that the person taking the lead was still the guard of the Prince's Mansion, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is here? Don't you know that His Majesty has an order that no one is allowed to leave the city without permission?"
Even though he knew that the people opposite him were the guards of the Prince's Mansion, he still couldn't miss a single word of the necessary questions.
Upon hearing Chengmen Lang's inquiry, Chu Mo immediately jumped out of the car, then came to the other party extremely arrogantly, raised his hand and slapped him with a big ear-scratcher.
Just hearing a snap, five clear paw prints appeared on the little old man's face.
"Are you so blind that you didn't see that we are from the Prince's Mansion? Also, is there the head of the Cui family here, and you, a little city gatekeeper, dare to stop our car? "
Chu Mo's voice was high, especially loud under the city gate, and could be heard far away.
The gatekeeper general who originally saw him beating someone and was about to come over to check on the situation immediately shrank his head after hearing the names of the Prince's Mansion and the head of the Cui family, hid behind the wall, and continued to observe the situation.
Cheng Menlang was beaten inexplicably. Although he was not angry in his heart, he still kept a smile on his face and said:
"I don't know who you are, so I have offended you. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's just that the Holy One has an order. Without the emperor's order, even a fly cannot be let out of the city. So, please forgive me, sir."
Hearing Chengmen Lang's words, Chu Mo pretended to be indignant, took out the badge given to him by Li Chengqian, slapped it, and threw it in the other person's face.
"Bitch, take a good look, what is this?"
The city gatekeeper took the badge and saw with just one glance that it was the prince's belongings. He held it in both hands respectfully and returned it.
"Sir, this is something that belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince. I know what I am doing, but without the Emperor's order, I really don't dare to let you leave the city."
