102. Redemption
I know that Lu Yingxuan is a princess of flowers, but I have never admired her romantic temperament so much - if it weren't for her, a frequent visitor to the flowers, how would I have a chance to be saved?
I didn't expect much of the effect of that small packet of the mystical medicine precipitated from the yin stem, but it was just to leave a thought for myself, which was better than despair.
However, at this moment, seeing Lu Yingxuan's expression of being so shocked that I couldn't jump off the second floor, the obvious panic and worry in my eyes made me feel a kind of relaxation - I decided: If there is still a chance to go back, the gambling debts she owes me will be written off from now on, even if it is to teach me to give her all the casinos in my name.
"Alas, ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, don't be impatient...... Bidding starts right away. Ming Yan shook his small flower handkerchief, his face coated with a thick layer of fat powder was full of smiles, he bowed to the guests in all directions, and then pushed my back, teaching me to raise my head and face everyone directly, "And let the slave family introduce you to the newcomer in our pavilion, Miss Jian Xin." ”
With Ming Yan's hand resting on my waist, I had to return an awkward arc, and then stepped aside indifferently, waiting for him to stir up the atmosphere and raise the price.
"Five hundred taels!"
"Eight hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
The smile on Ming Yan's face became more and more enthusiastic as the price soared, and his muscles trembled and even the layer of powder fell down in a daze, which made people worry about it, and he couldn't wait to cover his face for him.
The price has been called all the way to two thousand taels, which is basically the end, after all, it is just one night, and the price of two thousand taels can be regarded as a sky-high price on an ordinary flower girl - at this time, I am extremely glad that I am not an ordinary person, and I am extremely glad that I met Lu Yingxuan here.
When Ming Yan was about to sell me to the rich aunt with gold rings on her hands, I raised my hand to stop him: "Wait." Under his displeased eyes, he said slowly, "This young lady is willing to pay five hundred taels." ”
"Bah, what is five hundred taels? Now the price has been increased to two thousand taels! Someone in the audience interjected disdainfully.
Under Ming Yan's gloomy gaze of "If you dare to make trouble, you will be abolished", I raised my voice and added: "Gold." ”
The interjecting voice froze, and Ming Yan's eyes eased - the value of five hundred taels of gold was far from being comparable to two thousand taels of silver.
And the person I named immediately took everyone's attention, and his shocked expression disappeared in a flash, and when he saw me looking at her, he folded his fan and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Miss Ben is willing to pay five hundred taels of gold to buy this girl, this girl for one night." ”
When it came to "gold", she paused slightly, and when she said the word "girl", Miss Lu Er, who was out of tune, even bit her tongue.
At first, when I spoke, the people below, including Ming Yan, were already shocked, and after Lu Yingxuan, who was named by me, accepted it as a matter of course, everyone was even more surprised, as if the impact of this incident was too huge, and people forgot to speak.
The first one who came back to his senses was naturally Ming Yan, who had more experience and experience, although he still had a coquettish smile, his eyes sank a little, and he looked back and forth between me and Lu Yingxuan without a trace, and asked with a hint of temptation: "I didn't expect Miss Lu to love our Jianxin girl so much, this is really my blessing in Caiyun Pavilion." ”
"Brother Ming'er has won the prize, I will take the person first, as for the five hundred taels of gold...... Naturally, someone will send it in a moment. Without giving the other party too much opportunity to be tempted, Lu Yingxuan strode over with a smile, grabbed my shoulder with one hand, and walked out with me without any scruples.
Before the prostitutes who participated in the bidding could react, this guy had already swaggered out of Caiyun Pavilion with me - as the royal husband's sister-in-law, the young lady of the Lu family, may not be enough to see those powerful big people, but in this Jieqing Building, she can also walk sideways.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, the hand that was still hanging on my shoulder immediately retracted obediently, and Miss Lu, who was still full of arrogance just now, glanced around nervously, and pulled me to quickly jump into a carriage with a blue coat.
"Ouch, my little ancestor, hey! It's good not to stay in the palace, why did you come here? was actually pushed to the stage by his own subordinates to bid? What's the one you're playing with? The Pope knows about it, and I'm afraid that he will jump out of the imperial tomb to clean you up! She asked me jokingly as she urged the car to leave quickly.
I looked at her changing expression, just smiled wryly, but I didn't know how to answer—how to say it? The most noble and powerful prince in the world, the demon king Kuang Xihan, who once taught people to be frightened, actually had a day when he was pushed to the stage to bid?
This not only disgraced the face of women in the world, but also disgraced the entire Dawu royal family.
I had nothing to say, so I scratched my nose and changed the subject, asking, "How do you know I'm here?" ”
Isn't it that the news of me in Caiyun Pavilion has already spread? In this way, does Jiang Zhuo also know my situation? She didn't come here, didn't she care if I lived or died?
Oh, yes, I decided to leave her first, even if she didn't come to me...... What the hell am I upset about? What are you hoping for?
"Oh, of course I didn't know you were here? It's just a blind cat crashing into a dead mouse. She looked at me in surprise and said bluntly.
"Who are the dead rats?" glared at her angrily: This guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to speak, why can't he speak so much!
"Oh, am I not using an analogy?" Probably remembering the method of "Kuang Xihan", she scratched her hair embarrassedly, intending to get by, "You know that my homework is at the bottom every year......"
Sighing helplessly, I had no intention of fighting with her again, gave up the temptation, and asked bluntly: "What is the attitude of the palace in the days that I am away?" ”
"What attitude can there be? I'm crazy! She pursed her lips, her mouth was disapproving, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes, "The guards of the forbidden army have all been replaced, and there is a big bloodbath!" It is said that the next day, a Rouran palace slave was arrested from outside the palace and forced to ask him where have you been. ”
"Did he sue you and me here?" That Rouran Palace slave must be Zizheng, but when I heard that he was tortured, I didn't feel much in my heart - sympathy? It's not like that, but I'm still a little embarrassed, and I have nothing to do with his life or death.
"That's not true, he confessed that he sold you to the lowest Goolan Courtyard, and he was so angry that he drew his sword on the spot and destroyed one of his hands." Lu Yingxuan shrugged his shoulders, "But as he said, I went to find it, and turned all the hooks of Guanlan upside down, but I didn't find anything." For this reason, all the Fengyue places have been subjected to seedlings, and they have been checked tightly, and everyone in Guanlan City is in danger, and this Caiyun Pavilion is calm - who doesn't know that this Caiyun Pavilion is your industry, so you can't be trapped here! ”
As she spoke, she suddenly slapped her thigh, looked at me and shook her head and smiled, "Hey, who would have thought that you would really end up here?" The steward was bold! Aren't you afraid of the nine clans who punished him? ”
I was embarrassed to tell her that I had withdrawn my original stewardship, so I had to explain perfunctorily: "This is a newcomer, I don't know me, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't have a certificate to prove my identity, so it's natural that he doesn't believe me." ”
Speaking of now, she should also understand that I escaped with Jiang Zhuo behind my back - although she has a good relationship with Kuang Xihan, in the end she is just a fox friend and dog friend, she can't count, and she can't guess how sincere she is. It was true that she ransomed me just now, but now I am not sure where to take me.
"Where are you taking me?" The carriage had been tapped for a long time, and the noise outside had gradually subsided, but it was far away from the bustling city and heading out into the middle of nowhere—and I was a little more vigilant in hindsight.
After a series of betrayals, I don't know who else to trust.
"Somebody wants to see you, and I guess you want to see her too." Seeing me looking at her vigilantly, she didn't care, but came to my eyes, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously.
- Who wants to see me, and I want to see her?
An answer popped up in my heart, and I immediately vetoed it again: If she really wanted to see me, she would have sent someone a long time ago, so why wait for Lu Yingxuan to come?
So, who will it be?
looked at her suspiciously, for a long time, I still suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, and nodded quietly - how can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves?
I wondered where she would take me.
After another half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.
When I got out of the carriage, I saw a long street lined with paved surfaces; There are few pedestrians, only the close-knit shops of all colors, which are the most ordinary alleys of the common people, except for the residents, few people pass by, no more than the prosperity of the city center, and there is a trace of leisure and comfort in the depression.
Follow her into an inconspicuous courtyard, the courtyard gate is mixed with several shops, if you don't look closely, it is not easy to find, there is a feeling of being hidden in the city.
Walking through the front yard and pushing open the door of the wing, Lu Yingxuan bowed down and motioned for me to enter.
I glanced at her and stepped in, only to see a slender figure standing in front of my desk with his back to me, slowly practicing his handwriting.
Hearing the movement, the man gently put down his pen and looked back leisurely - Tsing Yi and black hair, his temperament was dusty, and his clear and beautiful face was wearing half a white jade mask, which added a bit of mystery to his gentleness.
"Han'er." She smiled faintly at me, just as she had seen her when she first saw me.
Staring at that familiar face, I only felt a suffocation in my chest, and muttered, "...... Emperor, sister? ”
