Chapter 3049 Foreigners

A short and thin middle-aged man came forward. There was a cunning businessman in his eyes, but he looked at Bai Ruozhu with special respect.

He is Nero, the subordinate that Bai Ruozhu took in when he went to the Western Regions. In essence, Nero is not a simple person, and he is too honest to survive in the business circles of the Western Regions.

But he had blocked a knife in dangerous moments and respected Bai Ruozhu as his master.

"No need to be polite. Something happened in the palace today. Do you know anything?" Bai Ruozhu raised her hand to stop him from saluting.

Nero has been in charge of Bai Ruozhu's business in the Western Regions during this period, and his life has undergone earth-shaking changes. He is shrewd and slippery, so in addition to business, he also inquired about a lot of information. When Bai Ruozhu just set off, , and received some information from him.

Even though he hangs out in the market, there are often some news that can only be found in the market.

"Is it a funeral trumpet?" Nero sighed, "I just heard that it is His Majesty the King, why did he go so easily?"

"Princess Yingtong has disappeared. Is there anything unusual in Gaochang recently?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Nero thought for a while and said: "There are some foreign businessmen in the Western Market who go to dinner. They wear clothes from the Central Plains, but they don't look like Central Plains people."

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun looked at each other. Could it be that foreign forces had infiltrated into the Western Region and the king's death was related to foreigners?

"Some of them look like Turks, they smell bad." Nero shook his head, "But I can't be sure yet. They haven't caused any trouble. Even if they stay and eat normally, it's not uncommon for Turks to come over and do business."

"Is there any news about Princess Yingtong?" Bai Ruozhu asked again.

"I heard a while ago that the prince-in-law took a concubine, and the princess made a big fuss," Nero said.

Bai Ruozhu was surprised, Chu Han took a concubine?

She couldn't believe that such a cold person as Chu Han would take a concubine, not to mention that he and Princess Yingtong had gone through ups and downs, and their relationship was naturally different. Why did he suddenly take a concubine?

"Really accepted? Who gave it to me? Do I have to accept it?" Bai Ruozhu asked unwillingly.

"Who dares to give a concubine to the consort?" Nero said, shaking his head. "I heard that the concubine was a companion. When he came to Gaochang with the caravan, he happened to meet him, and the consort left the concubine with him."

There is a problem, a childhood sweetheart suddenly appears, how could it be such a coincidence?

"You know a lot of people. Find out the whereabouts of Princess Yingtong and the Prince Consort as soon as possible, or find a way to send them a message saying that I want to see them." Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and gave Nero a small bottle of pills.

It was an antidote pill she gave to a friend. When Nero brought it out, Chu Han and Yingtong would recognize it.

It's just that she sent a message to the Western Regions early that she was going to visit. Wu Ying and the others were anxious to find her. How could Yingtong and Chu Han not know about her arrival?

They couldn't avoid her, they had to do it out of their own hands.

She asked Nero some more questions, and then asked him to inquire about the situation. She hoped that Nero would be more open-minded and gain unexpected gains.

Then the two of them walked around the city again, but found nothing, so they had to return to the palace.

Not long after the two left, the two people eating at a stall not far away looked at each other, got up and walked deeper into the alley.

"Keep an eye on the shops they went to. If necessary..." The speaker lowered his voice and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
