Chapter 690: Playing tricks

 

Meng Nan rushed to the gate of Prince Jin’s mansion, but the gatekeeper stopped him.

“Who are you?”

Meng Nan gasped and said: “I, I’m looking for His Royal Highness, Prince Jin. There is something urgent!”

The guard asked again: “Do you have any invitations or greetings?”

Meng Nan shook his head: “No, it’s an urgent matter. I’m really in a hurry. I beg you to go and pass the message.”

Seeing that he was not like an ordinary person, the guard didn’t dare to be too sloppy, and said slowly: “Gongzi, it’s not that I don’t want to pass the message, but now His Royal Highness is not in the mansion.”

 

“Not in the mansion? Where did he go? Where is Miss Bai? Is Miss Bai inside?” Meng Nan asked urgently.

The guard shook his head: “There is no Miss Bai in here. His Royal Highness has already entered the palace.”

Meng Nan said again: “The meeting has already finished, why he hasn’t returned?”

The guard said: “His Royal Highness doesn’t come back for dinner recently. It’s still early. Why don’t you leave a message and I will hand it over for you when his Highness returns.”

Meng Nan waved his hand: “No, I’ll just wait for him here.”

Jin Shiwei walked close to Meng Nan’s side and whispered: “Gongzi, didn’t Master Ke just said that, when she met Miss Bai on the street that day, she was riding in a carriage from Dongfang Family, why don’t we–”

Before Jin Shiwei finished his words, Meng Nan turned around and ran away. After running, he stopped again. He suddenly remembered that he didn’t know where the Dongfang Family Mansion was… …

 

Dongfang’s surname was not common. There was only one Dongfang surname in the capital.

 

Dongfang Mu’s base camp was in Qiyun Mountain. There have houses in the capital, but they were just all temporary residences. There were not many people who know about this place. Meng Nan just returned to the capital not long ago, so he didn’t know it.

When he turned around, he bumped to Jin Shiwei, who was rushing to catch up to him. The two have the same height, so their foreheads collided, and their head almost break.

Meng Nan rubbed his head and asked: “Do you know where Dongfang Family Mansion is?”

Jin Shiwei shook his head: “You don’t know, how will I know?”

Meng Nan slapped his head and said with joy: “I know now, I will lead the way!”

Half an hour later, Meng Nan and Jin Shiwei stood outside the Dongfang Family Mansion.

 

Coincidentally, Hu Feng also came to the Dongfang Family Mansion at this time.

The smell of gunpowder rose as soon as the two met.

“Meng Gongzi, how have you been!” Hu Feng said with a low voice.

 

“Your Royal Highness, I’ve heard so much about you!”

 

Hu Feng’s expression on the face was faint, but a smile that doesn’t look like a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. After saying those words, he turned to enter the house.

Meng Nan also followed in but was stopped by the gatekeeper.

“He can enter, why can’t I enter?” Meng Nan glared at the guard in anger.

The little guard had experienced this scene many times before, so he didn’t get annoyed. He smiled and said: “Gongzi, his Royal Highness can go in and out at will. It’s because it was our master’s order. If it’s other people, the master said that we must report it inside first, even if this person is the emperor. You should wait for a moment!”

But who could have imagined that this so-called wait for a moment will last for an hour!

 

Meng Nan and Jin Shiwei were still standing outside the gate of Dongfang Family Mansion. They had swallowed the northwest wind for an hour, so they couldn’t help but sneezed constantly and cried without tears.

 

Meng Nan cursed: “It must be Hu Feng who is playing tricks, it must be him.”

What else can Jin Shiwei say? He could only stand in the cold wind with a bitter face. His young master really has a bitter life. He finally fell in love with a girl, but he has such a strong opponent. His future is unpredictable!

Not long after, the door was opened. The little guard walked out. Seeing Meng Nan was still waiting, he was surprised: “Gongzi, you’re still here? The lowly one thought that you have left!”
