"If it's convenient, open the door if the officials come in to search people."

"I'm going to sleep," Chu Qingxuan said loudly.

She looked at Yue Jinyun, who was biting her lip, her face filled with terror.

Just then, someone banged on the door, their voice rough and aggressive, "Open the door, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chu Qingxuan pulled Yue Jinyun over and made her lie on the bed. Looking down at Yue Jinyun, she said indifferently, "Take off your clothes."

Yue Jinyun clutched her clothes tightly, looking at Chu Qingxuan in surprise, and said, "I don't want to..."

Chu Qingxuan crossed her arms and gave a cold smile. "If you want to be taken away, I have no objection."

Under Chu Qingxuan's gaze, Yue Jinyun simply took off her outer garment.

Chu Qingxuan didn't say anything. She took off all her jewelry, walked to the door, and opened it.

Chu Qingxuan looked up. Standing next to Liu Mama was a man in official robes. Upon seeing Chu Qingxuan, his eyes were fixed on her.

Chu Qingxuan looked at the group of people coldly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Mama was afraid that Chu Qingxuan would lose her temper, so she hurriedly said, "Sir, this is Miss Qingxuan."

"We're looking for someone, do you know who that is?"

Chu Qingxuan looked at the portrait. The woman in the portrait had a beautiful smile and was pure and pretty. Chu Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She crossed her arms and said mockingly, "Sir, do you look carefully? This is a woman. The women in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion are not ladies from noble families."

"Besides...the Hundred Flowers Pavilion does not entertain women."

The officers and soldiers were speechless for a long time after hearing Chu Qingxuan's words. At this moment, a man walked over.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his deep phoenix eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth. He wore a red military uniform and had a sword hanging at his waist.

When Chu Qingxuan saw him, her breath caught in her throat. She sensed a familiar aura emanating from him.

He is the villain Dongfang Hao.

"What's going on?" he asked coldly.

"General, we haven't found it yet!" the officer replied.

Dongfang Hao glanced coldly at Chu Qingxuan and said expressionlessly, "Go in and search."

Chu Qingxuan crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, and raised an eyebrow as she softly said, "General, as I just mentioned, this young lady is not here."

Chu Qingxuan pointed to the soldiers' paintings.

Dongfang Hao frowned, his phoenix eyes meeting Chu Qingxuan's. Chu Qingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly in response.

This is... flirting with Dongfang Hao.

In Dongfang Hao's view, this was seduction.

He sneered inwardly, "Shameless woman!"

He placed his hand on Chu Qingxuan's shoulder and pushed her away without hesitation. Chu Qingxuan grinned, her body went weightless, and in that instant, she tightly hugged Dongfang Hao.

Dongfang Hao immediately froze, his brows furrowing deeply. He looked at Chu Qingxuan with a sharp gaze.

Chu Qingxuan wasn't afraid. She looked innocently at Dongfang Hao and said, "General, I'm a delicate woman. It wouldn't be good if I fell."

Dongfang Hao: "..."

The others were stunned; this woman was incredibly bold!

"open."

Chu Qingxuan obediently listened to him. After releasing Dongfang Hao, Dongfang Hao glanced around the room and finally looked at Chu Qingxuan's bed.

Her bed curtains were drawn. Dongfang Hao walked over. Chu Qingxuan felt a chill in her heart. Yue Jinyun couldn't possibly be that stupid, could she?

Dongfang Hao lifted the bed curtain and saw a man lying on the bed with his back to him.

Dongfang Hao turned his head and said coldly to his subordinate, "Not here."
