Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, reached out and took the small crossbow. She thought it was exquisitely crafted and easy to hide in her sleeve when worn on her wrist.
Although there were only five crossbow bolts inside, that was enough.
It could indeed save her life at a critical moment.
It seems that this male-oriented brothel wasn't what she thought it was, just a place to gather information.
Jiang Yimian simply thanked her.
Chen Yu waved his hand repeatedly, feeling only a sense of pride.
If the people in Moge knew that he not only saw the princess in person, but also provided her with a way to save her life, they would be green with envy.
Let those people always laugh at him for managing the male-male brothel. When he goes back next time, he'll definitely brag about it. A bunch of people who've never seen the princess's true face.
This is the kind of person who can make the young master become gentle just by mentioning her.
Jiang Yimian put away the crossbow bolts, then remembered Jiu Niang, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Where is Jiu Niang..."
Shen Yu hurriedly said, "Princess, don't worry. Jiu Niang is a regular at the male-male brothel. Well, it's probably not over yet. Why don't you take a stroll around the male-male brothel, Princess?"
His words carried a hint of probing, and he hesitated somewhat in his heart.
The young master of the brothels he managed never paid attention to him, nor did he ever set foot there. Even during their semi-annual meetings, the young master rarely saw him, and usually had Wang San and others receive him instead.
Now that the princess has finally come, he should at least give her a proper introduction.
This is all the result of his hard work over the years.
However, if the princess really takes a fancy to someone at the brothel, should he report this to the young master?
While he was struggling with his inner conflict, Jiang Yimian didn't let him fret.
Jiang Yimian quickly waved her hand, "Since Ninth Sister hasn't finished yet, I'll head back now. Please let Ninth Sister know when the time comes, shopkeeper."
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt inexplicably disappointed.
His male-female brothel has many exquisite pieces, but unfortunately the princess didn't get to see them.
He should have sent all the top courtesans in the brothel to the princess from the beginning.
Jiang Yimian didn't linger at the male-male brothel and left immediately.
The servants at the door were somewhat surprised to see Jiang Yimian come out so quickly, but ultimately said nothing and left.
It wasn't until she returned to the inn that Jiang Yimian realized the person who had been following her had disappeared.
Aguzan had just returned. Seeing Jiang Yimian come back from outside, he raised an eyebrow and teased in a low voice, "Tsk, I misunderstood the princess. I thought the princess and Lord Lu had a deep relationship, but now it seems that's not all that great!"
However, I'm curious, Princess, which of the men in the brothel do you prefer? Perhaps you could look at me, Princess.
Compared to those men in the male homosexual brothel, he, a prince of Tuyuhun, was far better than them.
He thought that Jiang Yimian would at least seek help from the clinic or try to run away after learning that she could go out for a stroll. He never expected that the first thing she did upon arriving in Chuncheng was to go to a male enhancement clinic.
He was stunned for a long time when he heard the news and couldn't believe it.
I wonder what Lu Cijian's expression will be when he finds out that Jiang Yimian went to a male-male brothel.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said coldly, "What, are you also from a male-only brothel? If I go next time, I can request you."
Aguzan's eyes widened immediately, staring at Jiang Yimian in disbelief, and he said irritably, "You, you actually compared me to that group of people."
It's said that women of the Great Jin Dynasty value their reputation above all else and would never easily go to such places, so why does this man seem like a seasoned pro?
They showed no embarrassment or guilt whatsoever; on the contrary, they were quite self-righteous.
Jiang Yimian was too lazy to pay attention to the other party anymore, and said, "Where I go is none of your business. You should think about what to do next."
After saying that, he walked towards his room.
Upon hearing this, Aguzan stopped teasing and said seriously, "Don't worry, little sister, your brother will definitely protect you."
Jiang Yimian glanced at him sideways. Seeing his confidence, she assumed he had already made arrangements for the follow-up. She didn't say anything more, intending to wait until Chen Yu was ready before informing these people.
Thinking about it, she went straight back to her room.
Not long after Aguzan returned to his room, Yitu walked in from outside.
"Well, has the message been delivered?"
Yi Tu simply nodded and respectfully said, "Your Highness, the message has been sent out, but I noticed someone following me when I went out just now."
Those people must be closely connected to the Tuyuhun officials and soldiers.
Aguzan simply replied, "Understood."
When Jiang Yimian went out just now, the servants said that someone was following her.
He had initially thought that taking the waterway was a wise choice, but now it seemed to be causing some trouble.
His initial arrangements in Weizhou were somewhat inadequate compared to the current situation in Chuncheng.
Aliji has really gone to great lengths this time; there's absolutely no way he'll be allowed to return to the capital of Tuyuhun so easily.
The Tuyuhun soldiers are now suspicious of him, and there must be people watching them all around.
Leaving without making a sound is virtually impossible.
Leaving overnight might alert the enemy.
Since those people only have doubts about them, then it must be uncertain.
It would be better to stay in Chuncheng and wait for his subordinates to come and support him.
He can only hope that his subordinates in Tuyuhun will receive his message and come to him as soon as possible.
Thinking it over, he said, "Let's stay here for now. There are quite a few Tuyuhun soldiers here, and they're keeping an eye on us. If we're not absolutely sure we can leave quietly, it will only put us in danger sooner rather than later."
Yi Tu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said somewhat hesitantly, "I've found out who the member of the Tuyuhun royal family who was assassinated was."
Aguzan looked at the figure and saw that the other person seemed hesitant to speak. He immediately had a bad feeling and his voice unconsciously rose, "Speak, which empress was assassinated?"
Yi Tu was startled by the sudden increase in the volume of the voice, and it took him a while to say, "It is Consort Duan."
Aguzan clenched his fists tightly, his breathing becoming heavier involuntarily, but he didn't utter a single word.
He loosened his hands at his sides, then clenched them again until his knuckles turned white, then loosened them again. After repeating this several times, he closed his eyes and calmly said, "I understand. You can go now."
Yi Tu cautiously raised his head, glanced at the other person, hesitated for a long time before saying, "Prince, please accept my condolences. Consort Duan must have committed suicide. She just didn't want to be your weakness."
When Aguzan heard this, he just scoffed, "If she really didn't want to be my weakness, she should have died right after giving birth to me, instead of constantly reminding me and my father that the blood of the filthy people of the Great Jin flows in my veins."
This matter ends here; there's no need to mention it again.
He had no feelings for that person, only hatred.
Yi Tu simply nodded, bowed, and withdrew.
