On the other side, Mu Qingchao had been awake for a long time.
Unfortunately, her hands and feet were tied, unable to move, and her eyes were covered with cloth, so she couldn't see clearly where she was.
But she knew that this was a brothel...
Obviously, she was framed.
The person behind the scenes was so cruel that he not only wanted her life, but also wanted her to suffer even more than death.
No matter how open the folk customs of Nanming were, it was impossible to accommodate a queen mother who received clients in a brothel. Just rumors would be enough to drown her.
Not only would he die, but he would also be disgraced and would be infamy for thousands of years, which would make the entire Mu family suffer infamy.
The Qingliu family, whose poems and books conveyed rites, would only make people think of it when it was mentioned in the future, it had a daughter who was a prostitute in a brothel...
She can be regarded as an eternal sinner.
Mu Qingchao could feel that he was locked in a room facing the street, with the sounds of busy traffic and noisy traffic in his ears, and a hard bed beneath him.
She simply had nothing to do, so she lay on the bed and pretended to be dead.
Pretending to be dead is the best way to delay. In this situation, delaying every minute is the best. It would be best to wait until someone finds you.
However, not long after, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Someone comes in...
"Stop pretending, I know you're awake."
"You've been pretending all day. Even if you can sleep, aren't you hungry?"
A middle-aged woman's voice came from above her head. She was charming but had a sharp edge, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"How could you think of leaving after entering our place?" Before Mu Qingchao could speak, he heard the other party sarcastically say.
"Do you know where we are? If you are sensible, just be obedient and avoid suffering more in vain."
The woman said this because she knew that Mu Qingchao had an evil background.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be someone who drugged him to resist coming in, right?
She doesn't care if the girls who come here come from a clean background, she only cares if they are pretty and can attract men.
Obviously, Mu Qingchao has the face of a cash cow.
The girls who were carried here were either acting up and crying, or looking for life and death, so the woman felt it was necessary to deal with it in advance.
"In short, no matter how angry you were before, once you come to my place, I have all the tricks to make you obedient."
"Ah……"
But the woman didn't expect that her words would only elicit a sneer from Mu Qingchao.
This is surprising.
Some of the girls who entered here knelt down and begged her to let them out, some threatened with death, but the only one I had never seen before could still laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" the woman asked.
"What are you laughing at?"
But I heard Mu Qingchao say: "I'm laughing at you for being deceived by others. You are still here smugly thinking that you are smart and have many tricks, but in fact you are just a fool."
In fact, Mu Qingchao had already woken up in the second half of last night. She knew that it was useless to struggle in the hands of two men, so she simply pretended to be asleep and heard clearly the conversation between Zhang Bingquan and this woman.
If my guess is correct, this woman is the madam of a brothel.
Last night, she clearly heard that Zhang Bingquan sold her for a high price of one thousand taels of silver, but he did not mention her true identity at all.
"Do you know who I am?" Mu Qingchao asked the madam.
"It doesn't matter who you are." When the madam heard this, she just sneered in her heart.
"When you enter our place, your identity outside has nothing to do with you."
Of course she had the confidence to say such things.
Who runs a brothel without some backers?
The madam dares to accept anyone who is interested in her without asking her whereabouts. The biggest reason for her confidence is of course the great backer behind her.
"Would it be okay if I were the Queen Mother?"
Mu Qingchao spoke softly and slowly. She was good at saying the heaviest words in the most relaxed tone.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, his ears fell silent.
After a while, I heard the madam's voice.
"You... stop talking nonsense there, hehe, if you were the Queen Mother, then I would be the Queen Mother in heaven..."
His words were tough, but his tone was obviously a little more unconfident.
"Is it?"
"Have you ever heard of what the Queen Mother is like?" Mu Qingchao asked.
What does the rumored Queen Mother look like?
Monster, charming, with an appearance that is enough to bring disaster to the country and the people...
The old bustard looked at Mu Qingchao in front of him and swallowed unconsciously.
The women in the rumors are all comparable to the one in front of me.
Mu Qingchao's eyes were covered. Although she couldn't see, she could imagine the expressions of everyone in front of her.
She said: "Didn't you notice that the two people who sent Ai's family this morning were any different from ordinary people?
Haha, thank you for opening the door to do men's business, but you can't even tell whether the other person is a man."
Mu Qingchao's words made the madam suddenly startled.
For a moment, I felt like I was enlightened.
What she meant was that there seemed to be something wrong with the two people she was looking at this morning, and their voices were particularly high-pitched, but it turned out that they were... eunuchs?
"Actually, it's easy to know who the Aijia are."
While the old bustard was still lost in thought, he heard Mu Qingchao continue: "You are in this brothel and haven't opened for business yet, so you can't hear the news from outside.
But for such a big thing as the loss of the Queen Mother in the palace, you only need to go out and inquire about it for a while and you will know."
Mu Qingchao had always been a talker, but a few words had already panicked the old bustard and made him lose his mind.
In less than a stick of incense, the arrogant madam could no longer calm down. The situation between her and Mu Qingchao seemed to have completely changed.
"Quick, go to the palace and ask..."
The madam quickly ordered his men.
The working efficiency of this brothel is quite high, one visit only takes half an hour.
"Sanniang, it's... it's true. The Queen Mother is really missing from the palace. Now Your Majesty is looking for someone in the whole city..."
While Mu Qingchao was thinking, he heard the voice of the man running errands.
"Even the city gates are under martial law, and patrol camps and military camps have been deployed. Now King Wu'an is leading his people to search one by one. We are about to be found, but what should we do?"
One sentence made the madam's heart skip a few beats.
Her vision went dark and she almost fell down.
She was just an open business person, how...how could she get into trouble with the Queen Mother?
For the people who are deeply influenced by the idea of imperial power, the royal family is heaven and the emperor is the emperor.
And she actually tied up the emperor's mother and concubine...
I can only hate those two eunuchs. They have no roots and are really evil in their actions. It doesn't matter if they themselves are killed, so why do they harm others?
But now is not the time to be afraid.
King Wu'an is coming soon?
If once caught...
When the madam thought of this, she felt a chill in her hair.
What should we do now?
The old bustard turned around in panic and looked at Mu Qingchao.
Her hands and feet were tied and her eyes were blindfolded, but in this situation, she still had a smile on her lips.
"Can you still laugh at this time?" the madam asked.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"
