Mo Yunhan was preparing to return to the Ministry of War.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.
Her face was veiled in black gauze; she was slender and petite.
The eyes visible beneath the veil were strikingly similar to Jiang Qingwan's.
He couldn't be wrong.
She is the woman who appeared at the Xiaoyao Sword Sect branch in Yishui Town.
How did she end up here?
Mo Yunhan instinctively tried to chase after him, but his arm was grabbed by someone.
Zheng Qing was covered in sweat from running.
"Yun Han, you said you wanted to get some fresh air. I searched several streets to find you. What are you doing here? Go back now, the ministers are still waiting."
Disturbed by him, Mo Yunhan looked back, but the figure was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.
Remembering her ability to teleport using the black mist, he knew he couldn't catch up and had no choice but to give up.
"Let's go back to the Ministry of War."
Hiding in the corner of a dark alley, Qi Huang watched his departing figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a damp cloth appeared from behind and covered her mouth.
It's a sleeping potion.
She stared at the scarred man with a lewd grin.
The man had a face full of fat and a mouthful of yellow teeth when he chuckled.
"You're hiding behind a veil, you look like you can't be seen by anyone. Don't be afraid, brother will take you to a good place, I guarantee no one will be able to find you."
Qi Huang was now completely exhausted of spiritual energy, and her dantian was in excruciating pain. She definitely needed a secluded place to rest properly.
She did not resist, allowing the other party to cover her with a sack and carry her on their shoulder.
After a bumpy ride, she was dumped in a house that smelled particularly good.
The scent of face powder mingled with the fragrance of rose petals.
The sack was ripped open, and just as she adjusted to the light, her chin was grabbed and her veil was torn off.
She frowned slightly.
A woman with snow-white makeup approached.
He was in his forties and his face was covered in the dust of travel.
A pair of greedy eyes looked her up and down, quite satisfied.
"Where did you kidnap her from? My Chunxiang Courtyard doesn't accept women of unknown origin."
Qi Huang was taken aback.
Chunxiangyuan?
brothel?
That's a good choice.
The scarred man chuckled and touched the madam's waist.
"Don't play dumb with me. Look at her attire. Do you think she's someone with an unknown background? She might have escaped from some noble family. Giving her food is saving her life."
The madam pinched him angrily.
"You're so sweet-talking. But this stuff is really good. Fifty taels, that's the most I can offer."
The scarred man took the money and left happily, not forgetting to remind everyone before he went.
"The effects of the sleeping potion will wear off in half an hour. How you train him is entirely up to you."
As soon as he left, the madam sat down in the chair.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a smile.
"Girl, I have two options for you. First, I'll find eight or ten men right now to defile your body. Once you've lost your arrogance, it won't matter if you have more or less men, and you can serve customers with peace of mind. The other option is for you to be more obedient and well-behaved. Your mother will pity you and give you some support. With your looks and figure, making you the top courtesan won't be difficult. When that time comes, you'll have money and men at your fingertips."
"So, which one do you choose?"
Qi Huang took out a veil from her sleeve and put it on again, then slowly got up and sat down opposite the madam.
Although his movements were somewhat unsteady, it was clearly different from being drugged.
The madam was stunned.
"I didn't expect you to be a trained fighter. Even sleeping pills couldn't fool you. But I've already spent the money. You can forget about escaping."
As she raised her hand to call for someone, Qi Huang spoke calmly.
"I choose option two."
The madam was somewhat bewildered.
"What did you say?"
Qi Huang looked at her calmly.
“I said I chose option two, so you don’t need to waste your time training me. Just bring me some hot water so I can take a bath and change. I can help you make money anytime.”
The madam had been in this business for half her life and had never seen a woman so savvy.
Without struggle or despair, they calmly accepted reality.
She had just seen Qi Huang's appearance, and looking at her figure and temperament, she immediately felt like she had picked up a golden money tree.
"Oh my, my good daughter, I'll have someone prepare the finest scented bath for you right now. It just so happens that a distinguished guest has booked a private room today and paid a hefty sum. Moreover, this man is the biological father of the current Imperial Concubine Wan, whose status is extraordinary. As long as you serve him well, you'll enjoy endless wealth and honor in the future."
Qi Huang lied to her, saying she was being obedient, but she just wanted to find a quiet place to bathe and rest.
Upon hearing the madam's words, a flicker appeared in his eyes.
"Consort Wan? Isn't there only one Consort Su in the palace?"
The madam, seeing how obedient she was, liked her more and more and started talking to her more.
"Consort Su's glory days are over. The Su family rebelled, and Consort Su went to a nunnery to become a nun. The current Consort Wan is the mother of the Sixth Prince. This Sixth Prince is the only prince in the capital now, and who knows, he might become the Crown Prince."
She wanted to coax Qi Huang into going to entertain guests.
The more exaggerated the claims were, the more ridiculous they became.
Qi Huang understood.
"Okay, you can arrange it. I only have one request: I want to wear a veil."
The madam was slightly puzzled.
"Why? Your face is..."
"Don't you think that makes it more mysterious and alluring?"
Qi Huang raised an eyebrow and interrupted her.
Her features were exquisite, and she possessed a captivating allure.
Even the madam was captivated and clapped her hands excitedly.
"Oh my, you really are a natural-born professional. Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."
