Inside the "Mandarin Duck Pavilion",
Chu Yunmo was playing the piano when Mu Chun walked in from outside, carrying two letters.
"Young master, your letter."
Chu Yunmo didn't speak, so Mu Chun continued.
"One letter was from the Imperial Advisor, and the other was from that old woman in the palace."
The music stopped abruptly, and Chu Yunmo looked up.
What did Father say?
Mu Chun unfolded the letter from Qingyu Kingdom, glanced at it,
"The Imperial Advisor wants the young master to send the jade pendant back to the country first."
After Mu Chun finished speaking, he handed the letter to Chu Yunmo with both hands. Chu Yunmo didn't even glance at it before placing it on the candlestick. The letter instantly burned to ashes. Her thin lips parted slightly.
"Ruxuan, come out!"
At a command, a middle-aged man emerged from behind the tent flap; he was the pawnshop owner that "Blood Purple Rose" was looking for.
"Young master, is there anything you wish to instruct Ruxuan on?"
He appeared to be a man, but spoke in a woman's voice.
"Tear off the mask and take this jade pendant back to the Imperial Advisor."
Chu Yunmo's tone left no room for refusal.
"Sizzle!"
Without a word, the pawnshop owner grabbed the thin membrane from her cheek, and soon a face mask appeared in her hand. The pawnshop owner, who had just been a middle-aged man, instantly transformed into a beautiful young woman.
"Young Master wants Ruxuan to return to the country? But Ruxuan is worried about Young Master."
The woman's eyes were filled with infatuation, her face showing reluctance and a hint of panic.
"I don't want to repeat myself. Let's set off immediately."
Chu Yunmo's eyes were icy cold, and her tone was like ice.
"Why aren't you going yet? Don't worry about the young master, I'll protect him."
Seeing that the woman was lingering, Mu Chun feared that she had offended her master and shouted in a deep voice.
The woman reluctantly turned to leave, but just as she was about to exit the room, Chu Yunmo called out again.
"Remember to change back into men's clothing before returning home, and don't let that person know you're a woman."
"Understood."
A sweet feeling washed over the woman.
"He still cares about himself."
After the woman left, Mu Chun opened another letter, his expression extremely displeased.
"That old geezer invited the young master into his mansion again. At his age, he still wants to eat young grass like an old cow. It's really disgusting."
My lord, why don't you let your men kill her? Today is the day the emperor of the "Purple Cloud Kingdom" is setting up an altar to pray for rain, so the palace must be relaxed.
That old woman is probably quite dissolute in the palace, so perhaps…
Mu Chun made a chop to the neck, and Chu Yunmo shook her head.
"I have something on her that might come in handy in the future. Let's keep her for now!"
"Does the young master really intend to go to the palace to accompany that old woman today?"
Mu Chun's eyes flashed with disgust and indignation, while Chu Yunmo began to play the zither again.
"By the way, you mentioned the rain-making altar, will she go?"
Chu Yunmo suddenly asked, and Mu Chun frowned.
"What you're asking, young master..."
"Miss Han."
Thinking of the scene a couple of days ago when "Blood Purple Rose" was drunk and hugged her, begging for a kiss, Chu Yunmo suddenly had an urge to see her.
"Probably not! Since Li Mufeng has divorced her, she is no longer a member of the royal family. Why would she go and humiliate herself in this situation?"
Based on common sense, Mu Chun deduced that Chu Yunmo curled the corners of her lips.
"Not necessarily. This young lady from the Han family seems much more interesting than before, and her style is always unpredictable. Go and find out more about her."
At this moment, the "Temple of the Gods" was packed with people, all eagerly awaiting Master Xuanzhen's power to bring rain.
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want with this piece of junk you sent me here for?"
Zhao Hu asked two people for help to move the "rocket launcher" onto the carriage. He asked "Blood Purple Rose" countless times along the way, but "Blood Purple Rose" only said that it had a great use and then said nothing more.
Upon reaching their destination, Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask again.
"Miss Han."
Just as she was about to answer, Chu Yunmo walked over.
"Chu Yunmo?"
Upon seeing Chu Yunmo here, "Blood Purple Rose" was briefly surprised.
"Isn't this guy a gigolo? Why isn't he staying in the 'Mandarin Duck Pavilion' entertaining customers? What is he doing here, joining in the fun?"
"Did Your Highness make things difficult for you last night? I was truly worried about Miss Han's safety, so I asked Muchun to inquire. Upon hearing that Miss Han had arrived at the 'Temple of the Heavenly God,' I asked Granny Yang for leave and rushed over."
Chu Yunmo appeared extremely concerned, but "Blood Purple Rose" rolled her eyes.
"Were brothels in ancient times all so casual? They even allowed people to ask for leave?"
The brothel madams depicted on TV are not so easy to talk to; most are greedy for money and relentlessly exploit their girls or male prostitutes. Taking leave? Absolutely not; they always have several clients scheduled for the night, which is true.
Anyone who dared to leave the brothel would be beaten until their skin was torn and bleeding.
This fellow is quite carefree. Every time he goes to a brothel, he plays the zither for his own amusement, accompanied by a martial arts-skilled attendant.
Now that she can even take leave, "Blood Purple Rose" is even thinking of working in a brothel, where handsome men can touch her every day, and it's all so relaxing and enjoyable.
Despite these thoughts, "Blood Purple Rose" still nodded politely.
"Yunmo, thank you for your kindness. I'm fine."
"How my prince treats his princess is a family matter, and it's none of your business, you chicken."
When Zhao Hu saw Chu Yunmo, his eyes widened immediately. With his master away, he had to protect the princess and not let others covet her.
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chun immediately drew his sword, intending to teach Zhao Hu a lesson, but was stopped by Chu Yunmo.
"Don't be rude, Mu Chun, step down."
"Zhao Hu, I have divorced your prince. From now on, call me Miss Han. It is none of your business who I associate with. Just do your job."
Since they were being so polite, "Blood Purple Rose" drank a few cups of wine as well.
"yes."
Zhao Hu was not very satisfied, but he didn't say anything.
Just as the group was talking, a sharp voice rang out.
"His Majesty has arrived. His Majesty the Empress has arrived. Prince Lin has arrived."
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down. "Blood Purple Rose" hesitated for a moment, then knelt down as well.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The crowd cheered.
The sound was loud and deafening.
"My beloved subjects, rise!"
Emperor Li Hongwen spoke in a deep voice, and everyone thanked him and stood up.
Li Hongwen looked around but couldn't find his third son. He then asked Eunuch Zhou, who was standing nearby, "..."
Have you ever seen the Dragon Prince?
Eunuch Zhou glanced into the crowd a few times, then lowered his voice.
"I didn't see her, but I did see the former Princess Longxuan."
"Princess Longxuan?"
Emperor Li Hongwen also glanced at him and saw a man standing beside him who looked like an immortal. He frowned and asked,
"Who is that person? Why is he standing with Princess Longxuan?"
"this……"
Eunuch Zhou paused, then sighed.
"His Majesty should have met her. She performed a song for the Empress Dowager at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet before the New Year. She was the top courtesan of the 'Mandarin Duck Pavilion'."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Li Hongwen's face immediately darkened.
"She's truly a good-for-nothing. I've felt guilty all this time and made her divorce Feng'er. But now it seems that the divorce was the right thing to do. How could a fickle woman be worthy of my son?"
"cough!"
Eunuch Zhou sighed, at a loss for words. Why was Princess Longxuan always so unpredictable? What a wonderful marriage! She ruined it all herself.
"Master Xuanzhen has arrived."
Just as the Emperor and Eunuch Zhou were each lost in their own thoughts, a loud voice came from outside the room.
