Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Chapter 381 It’s not an accident

Zhou Chang felt disappointed and bored, so he had to return to his own tent.

Just as he had recovered from the heat in the tent, Fang She, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, came down with four young eunuchs to convey his imperial decree.

"Manager Fang, why are you here in such hot weather?" Zhou Chang was too lazy to sit up, so he just gestured for Fang She to sit down.

Yuan Qi ordered someone to bring up some iced sour plum soup.

Fang She dragged his fat body, his two goldfish eyes bulging out due to the heat, and without sitting down, he drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup.

It was said to be an imperial decree, but in reality it was just a message.

"Your Highness Prince Yi knows that this year's reward from His Majesty is a gold-thread jade disk. The number of prey must be reported every day. Your Highness must not forget." Fang She reminded Zhou Chang again.

Zhou Chang was puzzled. During the morning ceremony, the Emperor had already made his will very clear. Why did Fang She come and repeat it again?

Besides, everyone saw her fall off the horse. She had never been to the hunting ground and there was no possibility of prey. So why did Fang She come over?

Unaware of the other party's intention, Zhou Chang responded casually: "Alas, General Manager Fang may not know yet, I fell off my horse today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to ride a horse or shoot arrows in the next few days. It's definitely going to be a waste of your trip."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Yi fell off his horse. Everyone saw it this morning. It's really unfortunate." Fang She glanced suggestively with his goldfish eyes as he spoke.

"Unfortunately..." Zhou Chang pondered in his heart and said perfunctorily, "It's also because my riding skills are not good."

"Your Highness's riding skills should have been good in previous years, but this year they have regressed. Isn't that a 'coincidence'?" Fang She obviously had something else in his words.

Zhou Chang also understood and looked at Yuan Qi.

"It's really hot today, and there's no breeze in the tent. I'll go see if there are any fresh fruits that can help relieve the heat." Yuan Qi said as she took off the giant clam bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Zhou Chang, glancing at Fang She.

Zhou Chang understood and stood up from the couch.

Yuan Qi left leisurely with two maids.

"Reminder: This giant clam bracelet is worth five thousand taels in commission." The voice of the viewpoint system interrupted again.

As usual, Zhou Chang ignored it.

Ever since she was fined one thousand copper coins in commission at the beginning of last month, she has kept her word and stopped live streaming to sell goods.

What's more, this bracelet was a token of Yuan Qi's love. Thinking of this, Zhou Chang felt a warm current in her heart. She held the bracelet in her hand, moved that Yuan Qi cared so much about her.

In two lifetimes, no one, whether it was Zhou Chang or the current Prince Yi, had ever thought of this for her or him.

Fang She also turned around and told the four young eunuchs behind him to leave as well. The skinny guy was the last one to lower the door curtain of the tent from outside.

Everyone left, leaving only two people in the tent.

Zhou Chang directly asked Fang She, "It's not 'unfortunate' but 'unfortunate'. Chief Steward Fang, do you have anything to say?"

"Is His Royal Highness Prince Yi's riding skills really that bad?" Fang She narrowed his goldfish eyes.

Zhou Chang was shocked for a second: "Could it be that the fall from the horse was not an accident?"

Fang She did not beat around the bush. He took a step forward and lowered his voice: "It was quite a coincidence for us to see some people and things. I thought Your Highness should know about it."

"What is it?" Zhou Chang tensed up.

Fang She did not keep the secret: "What a coincidence, I happened to meet Deputy Chief Manager Liu and Minister Peng's son last night. They were talking together."

Liu Dexia and Peng Liang?

Zhou Chang was confused for a moment: "How did these two people get together?"

"It's not surprising that the two of them are together, but one is the deputy chief steward of the inner court, and the other is in charge of the warehouse in the Ministry of War. What could be going on between them whispering in the middle of the night?"

"They..." Zhou Chang couldn't be sure, but it would definitely not be a good thing if these two people got together.

Fang She glanced at Zhou Chang and reminded him again: "Historically, the horses for hunting were all selected by the Ministry of War. Before they were supplied to the nobles, they were also supervised by the Ministry of War. As for the horses supplied to the princes, they are even more strictly controlled. The inner court also has to re-inspect them, and no carelessness is allowed. It's not the first time that His Royal Highness Prince Yi has ridden a horse. How could it be such a coincidence that the horse got out of control today?"

"General Manager Fang, you are..." Zhou Chang wanted to ask Fang She whether this was a guess or something he actually heard, but when he saw Fang She's eyes turn, he did not ask any further.

The other party had already said this much, and it was actually very clear. Since he didn't want to say more, why should she ask more questions?

Then he bowed to Fang She and thanked him: "Thank you, General Manager Fang. I was planning to practice riding skills again, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

"Your Highness is very polite." Fang She bowed in return, "I should not delay any longer. I will take my leave now."

Zhou Chang still held the giant clam bracelet in his hand, and in compliance with Yuan Qi's instructions, he handed it to Fang She: "It's just a little token of my appreciation. Steward Fang, take it and play with it."

Fang She's two goldfish eyes suddenly turned into two light bulbs, and he was extremely surprised: "Oh, Your Highness Prince Yi, this, this, this is too precious..., what should I do, what should I do..."

While muttering "What should I do...", he had already put the bracelet on his wrist.

As a slave following his master, Fang She has been by the side of Emperor Lin for many years, and his vision is unmatched by ordinary people.

Zhou Chang was actually shocked. How valuable is this giant clam bracelet?

The "commission" offered by the viewpoint system has always been unreliable, and she would always be "skinned and stripped of her bones". She could only drink the soup, but since Fang She reacted like this, the bracelet must be extremely valuable.

I can't help feeling a little heartbroken.

Fang She put on the bracelet and smiled: "Your Highness is so polite. I just said something casually, wanting to remind Your Highness to be careful. Look, this is really... If Your Highness needs anything in the future, just let me know."

The things have already been sent out, so it's useless to feel bad about it. Judging from Fang She's reaction, the effect is quite good.

Zhou Chang also put on a generous smile: "Mr. Fang, you are too polite. I will be able to rely on you in the future."

Fang She thanked him again and again, then left with a smile.

When Zhou Chang waited for the skinny monkey to come in, he couldn't wait to tell him what had just happened.

Then he asked, "Do you think Fang She heard what those two people said?"

The skinny monkey had already sat down at the table, picking up the remaining half of the chicken, and muttered: "It's not necessarily that he heard it with his own ears. He has so many people under him, and it's impossible that not many of them are keeping an eye on Liu Dexia."

"Oh... yes..." Zhou Chang also suddenly realized.

The reason why he told this matter to Shouhou was that he knew the situation in the inner palace better than himself.

"Then tell me, why did Fang She come to tell me this? He has always been neutral and focused on money. In his eyes, has he ever had anyone else except Your Majesty?" Zhou Chang asked again.

The skinny monkey swallowed half a chicken in two or three gulps. "Your Highness, this is not hard to guess. General Manager Fang only has His Majesty in his eyes. He is second only to His Majesty. But just because of this, how can a pumpkin be compared to a loofah? Naturally, he will not tolerate others stepping on his head. Liu Dexia is always jumping up and down, and he has great ambitions. General Manager Fang has been displeased with him for a long time."
