As night fell quietly, Feng Tingye’s face gradually became more ugly because the people who were sent out to find the people returned in vain. The anger in his heart burned completely after receiving a secret letter sent back by a white dove.

“Your Majesty, has something happened? Is it Qing Jiejie?” Li Yuan keenly felt the murderous aura emanating from Feng Tingye’s body, and asked cautiously.

Feng Tingye didn’t answer, but handed the secret letter in his hand to Li Yuan with a cold face. Li Yuan was startled and hurriedly took it, but after reading the words in the secret letter, she was stunned.

It says: Niang Niang is trapped in Ying Chun Yuan, requesting for help!

“This is Cui Er Jiejie’s writing?”

When the people on the side saw this, they all leaned forward. After reading the words on the secret letter, their expressions changed.

“Ying Chun Yuan?” Yan Ran stared at the location on the secret letter.

“Do you know where it is?” Shao Zitang glanced at him with a faint smile, waiting for a good show.

“I… Of course I don’t know…” Yan Ran laughed twice, giving Li Yuan a guilty look, and took two steps back.

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan’s eyes were cold. She sneered: “If you know, tell us, why are you looking at me like that for? Do you think I’ll eat you up? This matter is related to the safety of Qing Jiejie. If you know but don’t report it and she is harmed, the consequences…..”

Yan Ran’s hairs stood up straight. This time, saying it won’t do, but not saying it also won’t do!

“Um…that Ying Chun Yuan is…cough cough, it’s a brothel, deep in a small alley not far from Xicheng.”

As soon as Yan Ran’s voice fell, everyone clearly felt the pressure in the Imperial Study Room become a lot stronger. The powerful dark aura gradually shrouded over everyone, yet there was still someone not affected by this powerful pressure.

“Oh, the Grand Tutor even knows a brothel deep in the back of the alley? Presumably the Grand Tutor must have visited as a customer to know, right?” Seeing that Yan Ran still hadn’t gotten the person and was a henpecked male, Shao Zitang mercilessly stabbed him in the back.

“!!!” Yan Ran gave Shao Zitang a fierce look, his face flushed with anger. He really didn’t know how to read people clearly. How can he have so many brothers who he has known his entire life, nearly 20 years, so keen on stabbing his back?

“Yuan Er, listen to me explain.”

Yan Ran was anxiously trying to explain, but was interrupted cruelly by Li Yuan’s low halt: “Shut up, put your business aside for the time being, I am not interested in knowing. The top priority right now is Qing Jiejie and Lu Rui Jiejie. We all know Cui Er Jiejie’s ability, can they stop her if it is an ordinary brothel? She alone would be enough to bring the two Jiejie’s back, not to mention that there must be her shadow beside her, Su Gongzi. However, she did not bring back the two Jiejie’s, instead, she sent a secret letter asking for help from His Majesty. This must mean…”

“That brothel is definitely not an ordinary brothel!” Leng Ruofeng’s eyes sank slightly as he made a concise conclusion.

Yan Ran was stunned, he didn’t know how to save the image that had collapsed in Li Yuan’s heart again, “So now we…huh, where is His Majesty?”

“As soon as you said that Ying Chun Yuan was a brothel, he went out to get the troops.” Shao Zitang gave him a roll of eyes.

“…”

“However, nothing should go wrong, right?” Li Yuan’s face was a little hopeful, “Cui Er Jiejie has rushed over, so even if she can’t take the people out, she should be able to temporarily protect Qing Jiejie and the others until the emperor catches up, right?”

“Who knows?” Shao Zitang frowned. For some reason he had a bad premonition emerging in his heart, “Maybe it is a tricky person, let’s go and take a look. ”

“En.”

At the same time, Cui Er, who had already found the whereabouts of Xia Yuqing, had successfully sneaked into Ying Chun Yuan. She was leaning on the roof of Ying Chun Yuan, carefully observing the surrounding movements.

“The one-eyed blind man carrying water on the left has a steady pace. The water-carrying action looks the same as an ordinary person, but he is a little bit more skillful. At first glance, one can tell he must practice martial arts.” Cui Er held the roof with one hand staring at the entrance while discussing with a man.

“The little servant on the right who served tea and water looked normal, but after a closer look, he was able to smoothly shuttle between the lively benefactor and the prost.i.tute, without any collision. That is not a simple thing to do.” Yun Zhongyue leaned on the other side, staring at all kinds of people that were entering the corridor and replied in a low voice.

“And the female brothel keeper.”

When Su Wuduan opened his mouth, he attracted Yun Zhongyue’s suspicious gaze: “What about the old female brothel keeper? I don’t see anything strange about her, she just looks… ugly.”

“Yes, she’s too ugly. As a female brothel keeper, she is like the entrance to the brothel, yet that old brothel keeper is the ugliest old b*stard I have ever seen in my life. Such an ugly old b*stard, I don’t know what kind of man would be interested in the girls of her building.”

“…” The more Yun Zhong Yue listened to Su Wuduan’s comments, the more the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, “Senior Brother, listening to what you said, it seems like… if the old brothel keeper wasn’t so ugly, you would want to order a girl from her building to accompany you.”

“Of course…” Su Wuduan then discovered something and laughed twice. He turned his head and looked at the expressionless Cui Er who was giving him a death glare.

“Why don’t you keep talking?”

“…Ahem, of course not. I have a wife now, so why would I miss those little wild flowers outside?” Seeing this, Su Wuduan hurriedly raised his head and gave a flattering smile towards Cui Er.

“Tsk tsk tsk, Senior Brother, what you said is wrong. Isn’t there a saying? How can a family flower smell like wild flowers (the wife at home is not as good as the mistress outside)? Since you compared these brothel prost.i.t*tes to wild flowers, then are you saying that my sister-in-law does not have the fragrance of these wild flowers?”

“Yun Zhongyue, if you don’t speak, no one will consider you to be a mute.” Listening to the words of Yun Zhongyue, a few green veins appeared on Su Wuduan’s head. “Also kid, if you’re fine, why aren’t you staying in the palace? What are you doing with us?”

Finally, with great difficulty, he was going to have his two-person world, yet because of this third-wheeler, it was ruined. Furthemore, this third wheeler doesn’t know how to keep himself in check and dares to openly provoke the relations.h.i.+p between himself and his wife. Unforgivable!!!

Before the words were over, someone who was irritated kicked Su Wuduan off the ridge of the house: “Shut up! Don’t shout so loudly! Are you scared the others will not find us? Also, stay away from me, who is your wife!?”

“……wife.” Being kicked by Cui Er, Su Wuduan rolled on the roof for a few tumbles. Just before falling down, he was able to grasp a small section of the house beam on the side, and recovered. He looked at Cui Er pitifully.

The more Yun Zhong Yue saw the cut figure of Su Wuduan, the more extraordinary his innocent smile was: “Senior Brother, your future sister-in-law is also trapped in this brothel. As her future husband, how can I stand by and watch?”

This is the perfect timing for the hero to save the beauty. As a very smart person who wants to steal a certain barbecued pork bun, how could he miss such a good opportunity? ?

“Moreover, Junior Brother had only spoken the truth, isn’t that right Senior Brother?”

“…” This brat! Su Wuduan’s face change and he kissed up to Cui Er: “Wife, listen to me…”

But Cui Er didn’t bother to pay him any more attention. She turned to look at the female brothel keeper who had walked into a small, secluded room and said coldly: “That old female brothel keeper is not simple. She doesn’t look particularly skilled in marital arts, but her hand has slender fingers that have thin calluses. There is also a faint blackness in her fingernails, which are unique to people who use poison and hidden weapons.”

“Poison and hidden weapons?” Yun Zhongyue’s complexion changed slightly. His gaze at the old female brothel keeper suddenly became more on guard, “In that case, this brothel is really full of hidden tigers.”

“En, and look at the guests who came.”

“What about those guests?”

“Looking at their outfits, they’re either high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants. Such people gathering here, what do you think the greatest benefit these hidden tigers can get?”

“Sister-in-law is suspecting…… “

Cui Er lifted her brow as if issuing a challenge: “It’s a suspicion, we’ll only know when His Majesty arrives. It is imperative to find Niang Niang and Lu Rui. Also…… I’m not your sister-in-law, do not call me the wrong name again. “

“…Yes.” The more Yun Zhong Yue looked at the woman in front of him, the more he sympathized with his own Senior Brother. Oh no, it was more like… gloating at his misfortune, ha ha ha…

“Also, the wife you were speaking of, do you mean Lu Rui?”

“…Yes.” He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Facts have proven that Yun Zhongyue’s intuition has always been very accurate. Following his words, the tip of the long sword in Cui Er’s hand greeted him.

“Sister…sister-in-law, if you have something to say, don’t use your hands, swords are eyeless, it is easy to hurt people.”

“Xiefang palace Rule 94, those who make a move towards a girl in our palace without permission from Niang Niang, no matter who, must be killed.”

“!!!” What kind of palace rule is this, why didn’t I know at all?!

“…” The man who had just crawled back from the edge of the roof heard Cui Er’s words and his face suddenly turned colorful, becoming excited. This is a rule of Xiefang palace, which means that Xia Yuqing had agreed to him pursuing his wife! Or…surely, his Junior Sister is partial to himself! That means the moment he will embrace this beauty is not far away?

Cui Er seemed to see what Su Wuduan was thinking in his heart, and glanced at him with disdain: “This is the rule set by Niang Niang when she learnt about Xiao Yuan and the Grand Tutor. Things that happened before don’t count.”

“……” In other words, I didn’t get the approval of Junior Sister? It was just luck that the rule was established after, so I was excluded?

“…” How unlucky am I, at this moment, for such a rule to appear. It really… it really hurts! This is Yun Zhongyue who was previously gloating on Su Wuduan’s misfortune, but now couldn’t protect himself and laugh anymore.

“Wait, the old brothel keeper came out.” Su Wuduan exclaimed, saving Yun Zhongyue’s life at a critical point.

Cui Er’s attention was instantly attracted to the old female brothel keeper who walked out of the small secluded room: “It’s so late, yet that the old female brothel keeper isn’t shouting for guests in front of the shop? Why would she run to such a small secluded room? Let’s go in and see.”

“Wife, wait for me.” Su Wuduan watched Cui Er get up and rush towards the small house, so he hurriedly jumped and followed.

Yun Zhongyue wiped the cold sweat that appeared because of his fright, and hurriedly followed.

A few people surrept.i.tiously slipped through the corridor. When they approached, they discovered that there was a lock on the door of the small house.

The three of them glanced at each other, becoming more and more certain that something was definitely hidden in this room.

A few people raised their heads and glanced at the roof. All of them then flew to the roof with a swish and began to dig a hole on the roof…

The person in the room was stunned when they heard the movement. They looked up at the moonlight projected from the top of their head and saw the figures of the people reflected.

“Cui Er Jiejie?!”

Taking advantage of his skills, Yun Zhongyue was the first to jump off the roof and rushed to Lu Rui. Grabbing Lu Rui’s hand, he expressed with affection: “Lady Lu Rui, are you okay? It’s okay, I’m here to save you.”

“…” Seeing how Yun Zhong Yue couldn’t wait to die, Su Wuduan quietly lit a candle in his heart. Daring to blatantly eat other people’s tofu (take advantage of them) in front of his wife, it seems that the sword of his wife just now has not taught him enough.

“Zing…” With a sound, the long sword flashed and pointed directly at the back of a certain little perv*rt who took advantage of the opportunity.

Yun Zhongyue felt something cold behind his back, and hurriedly hid to the side. In the next second, he was forcefully pushed to the side wall.

“…” Cui Er Jiejie, did you have an internal strife as soon as you appeared? Lu Rui blinked her eyes. She looked at Yun Zhongyue , who was swatted to the wall and could only hang on like a gecko, with a stunned look. She didn’t know what to say.

“Lu Rui, do you have any injuries? How about Niang Niang, why didn’t she stay with you?” Cui Er retracted her sword and asked in a low voice.

Niang Niang! Lu Rui was agitated, and finally recovered. She stepped up and grabbed Cui Er’s arm nervously: “Niang Niang is not with me. Cui Er Jiejie, you go and save Niang Niang first. It’s all my fault. At that time, if I just pulled Niang Niang back, it’s all my fault.”

Cui Er twisted her eyebrows, then pulled Lu Rui’s hand softly: “Don’t worry, tell us the whole story.”

Lu Rui took a deep breath, then slowly told them the brief run down of how they were kidnapped: “At that time, Niang Niang and I were put in a sack and fainted. When I woke up, I was already here, and Niang Niang was gone.”

“According to what you said, Niang Niang should also be in a room in this courtyard.” Cui Er thought for a moment and whispered.

Lu Rui nodded. Then as if thinking of something, she exclaimed: “By the way, that ugly old woman seemed to say that we were sold here. Moreover, she just gave me a piece of clothing to put on, saying that she wants me to put it on and go out to pick up guests.”

“!!!” As soon as Lu Rui said this, all three people in the house were stunned.

Yun Zhongyue who was originally stuck on the wall and couldn’t come down, with a click, fell from the wall. Like a Xiao Qiang (nickname for c.o.c.kroach) who can’t be killed, he rushed towards Lu Rui and held her hands: “To make Miss Rui, such a pure and lovely girl, to pick up guests, Senior Brother is right, everything is wrong about that old woman, she deserves to die, d*mn it… Ouch…”

Before Yun Zhongyue could finish his words, he was slapped back to the wall by Cui Er again. “Since that old brothel keeper is asking you to pick up guests at this time, she would have definitely asked Niang Niang to also pick up guests…” Cui Er paused suspiciously when she said this.

Ying Chun Yuan = brothel = a place for men to have fun = Niang Niang pick up guests = let the empress go service other men = her having an illicit lover = the emperor will explode!

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Ahem, Lu Rui, you just said that the old brothel keeper gave you a piece of clothing and asked you to put on that piece of clothing and go out to pick up guests. Where is that piece of clothing?” Cui Er coughed twice and asked.

Lu Rui was taken aback. She turned her head and pointed to a purple dress not far away: “It’s that one.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Not far away, spread on the ground was a purple tulle like dress. The neckline and hem of the dress had a large opening. It is not difficult to imagine what it would be like if Lu Rui were to put it on.

“Pu…” Yun Zhongyue who had just fallen from the wall stared at the clothes for a long time, then with a pu, two nosebleeds like a fountain spurted out all at once. (bahahha i love this couple already)

“Uh, Cui Er Jiejie why did he have a nosebleed? Did you hit him too hard just now?” Lu Rui exclaimed, covering her mouth and gasping.

The corners of Cui Er’s mouth twitched and she didn’t comment, but Su Wuduan stepped forward and patted Yun Zhongyue’s shoulder. He said with deep understanding: “Junior Brother, I understand.”

Yun Zhongyue flushed and swatted away his hand. Clutching his clothes, he indiscriminately wiped the nosebleed on his face. He really has been abstinent for too long. Being a virgin in his twenties, it’s really unfair. Just thinking about it caused him to have a nosebleed. No this won’t do, he has to speed up his pace and bring her home early!

Cui Er coldly glanced at Senior brother, then looked at the dress and sighed: “The clothes in the brothel are all probably the same, so Niang Niang should have…”

Wait, if Niang Niang wears this dress and goes out to pick up guests…

“…”

“…”

“…”

Someone will die, someone will really die. This is definitely not a problem of bloodshed, but the demise of the country. They absolutely can’t let Niang Niang (Junior sister) wear this dress to pick up guests, let alone let the emperor see Niang Niang(Junior sister) wearing this kind of dress to pick up guests!

“Although this courtyard is large, there are not many remote rooms. We will spit up and search, we should be able to find it soon.”

“Wait.” Lu Rui seemed to think of something and exclaimed, “Let’s find where the firewood room is first. I overheard the old brothel keeper saying they were going to the firewood room next. Niang Niang may likely be in the firewood room.”

“En, let’s go find where the firewood room is first.”
