"Catching an adulterer" in a brothel
After saying that, she expressed aggrievedly to Xiao Shengyun, "Although I am said to be the queen of a country, I still respect the Queen Mother in my heart, so when the Queen Mother said that she wanted to ask this magic stick to do it, Even though I, my concubine, dare not say anything more."
"Since I entered the palace, I have always served the Emperor and the Queen Mother with all my heart, and I have never dared to be sloppy. But now, the Queen Mother still suspects that she is possessed by an evildoer and is causing filth in the harem."
Having said this, Su Yuejin paused for a moment before continuing to speak.
"If the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with what I have done, you can just say it directly. If it is such a false accusation, I really cannot afford it. How will I face the sisters in the harem in the future?"
At this time, the Queen Mother was also on pins and needles, mostly because she was helpless towards Su Yuejin who was still complaining to the Emperor.
She knew that she had been reckless in this matter, and it would take some fate to come here to have a grandchild.
But who knew that such a bad guy at that time not only deceived himself, but even dared to instigate and frame the queen.
Now that Su Yuejin was complaining in front of herself and the emperor, it would be her own fault if she didn't comfort her properly.
Thinking of this, Taihui gave the waiter beside him a look.
, and then stood up in person and came to Su Yuejin's side.
"Queen, the Ai family has made you feel wronged today."
As she spoke, the waiter came over with an exquisite box.
Opening the box with her own hands, the Queen Mother took out the expensive hairpin lying inside and put it on Su Yuejin's head.
It was the dowry of the Queen Mother, and it was also a token of love between the late Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"Good boy, the Ai family rewards you with this hairpin, which proves that you are still the unique queen in the harem, so don't think about it too much. I will reward you with other jewelry and send them to your palace later."
After being comforted by the Queen Mother, Su Yuejin naturally said nothing more.
So the matter was settled.
Returning to her bedroom, Su Yuejin played with the hairpin in her hand thoughtfully.
Now I am short of silver and need to use it. If I can secretly transport the Queen Mother's other rewards out of the secret passage and sell them, I won't have so many worries about money.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yuejin decided to leave the palace to check out the situation. She put on men's clothes, grabbed some jewelry, and followed the secret passage out of the palace, thinking to inquire about the market first.
She came to the pawn shop and while waiting in line, she was attracted by two clerks chatting. The language they used was similar to Mongolian. Others could not understand it and thought it was local spoken language.
"His Royal Highness hasn't sent anyone here lately?" the waiter murmured.
The Crown Prince exchanged so much silver when he came here last time. It must be enough to last for a while. Why does he come here every day? Another guy retorted.
Xiao Zhaolin also comes here to sell things? From what the guy said, he should have sold a lot of treasures.
With a frown, Su Yuejin thought of an idea.
When she arrived in the queue, she directly placed the jewelry and jade pendant in her arms in front of the waiter, raised her head and said imitating the tone of the two men.
"The prince's people should follow the old rules."
The waiter paused for a moment, looked at Su Yuejin carefully, and then spoke tentatively.
"People from Prince Xian's Mansion? Why do they look a little unfamiliar? You weren't here before, right?"
"His Royal Highness, Prince Xian, has something to do. He took the people who came last time to go out to do something. Is there any problem with sending me here? Or do you also want to take care of the affairs of Prince Xian's house?"
Su Yuejin retorted coldly, with a rather scary look on her face.
The clerk shrank his neck and then said timidly: "No, no, I am just asking cautiously. The land purchased by His Highness in the south of the city has not been arranged yet? Why do you need to sell so many treasures?"
Xiao Zhaolin is in the south of the city?
Her expression remained unchanged, Su Yuejin took all the news into her heart, but her appearance still showed no flaws.
"I said, talk less and ask less about the affairs of Prince Xian's Mansion."
The waiter didn't dare to inquire any further, so he quickly agreed and took the banknote and handed it to Su Yuejin.
Holding a thick stack of banknotes in her hand, Su Yuejin said coldly: "If I hear someone talking about it, I will be the first to come to you."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't tell you."
The guy agreed flatteringly.
Su Yuejin finally retracted her gaze, turned and left.
She walked thoughtfully on the street, but her mind was constantly analyzing what the waiter had just said.
Xiao Zhaolin planned to catch something in the south of the city, so he secretly sold off so many treasures.
There are many mountains in the south of the city, so if you want to hide people, this is the best place.
And Xiao Zhaolin, if he remembers correctly from his previous life, should also be starting to prepare his own secret army.
I have to say that compared with Xiao Zhaolin, I still have many disadvantages.
If you want to take revenge, you must first cultivate your own elite.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yuejin remembered the jade button Guo Tang gave her when he was in prison.
As for Hongen Pavilion, you need to find out for yourself.
She reached out and took out the jade buckle she carried with her. The crystal clear jade buckle lay quietly in the palm of Su Yuejin's hand, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward, reversed direction, and walked towards Hong'en Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she took two steps, Su Yuejin was attracted by a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
She stopped dead in her tracks, then turned her head in surprise.
Xiao Shengyun's figure was all too familiar to her. The man who was walking straight towards the brothel with his back to her, Su Yuejin could guarantee that it was definitely him!
So, what does this mean?
When the emperor secretly left the palace and visited a brothel?
Could it be that Xiao Shengyun is not as simple as imagined?
I don’t know what she was thinking, but Su Yuejin finally decided to give up going today.
Hong Enge's idea was to follow Xiao Shengyun.
She wanted to go and see for herself what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Shengyun's gourd.
After making up her mind, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the men's clothes she was wearing, then raised her head and walked towards the brothel that was still attracting customers without any guilt.
Several women with heavy makeup dragged Su Yuejin into the brothel. Seeing that Su Yuejin had no interest in them and actually wanted to press Su Yuejin's hands on her for the sake of livelihood, Su Yuejin quickly pushed them away.
Su Yuejin found an opportunity to get away from them and prepared to sneak directly to the backyard.
During this period, women appeared one after another to show their affection to Su Yuejin, but Su Yuejin avoided them one after another and came to the backyard panting.
She stabilized her mind and then looked around carefully, only to find that there was something special about this place. Despite the noise in front of it, it was extremely quiet here, as if there was no one there.
