She turned her head and carefully examined the other person.
The woman's brow was beautifully shaped.
He is a magnanimous and loyal person.
However, a faint black aura lingered between his brows.
That's resentment.
It is the resentment after the children's palace was damaged.
It's different from ordinary resentment.
Subtle yet lingering.
It's hard to dissipate.
Not only that, her body temperature was also abnormal.
That's the chilling aura that only comes from being constantly surrounded by death energy.
It's like a living person sleeping in a coffin.
Otherwise, the resentment in her eyes, stemming from the damage to her children's palace, would not have surfaced.
Has anyone died here recently?
The woman in the green shirt gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of her mouth.
“This is a brothel. Countless women have been tortured to death by their patrons, or beaten to death for disobeying. It’s no surprise that people have died here. I warned you that this is a pit of fire, but if you insist on jumping in, I won’t stop you.”
After saying that, she tried to leave.
Qi Huang called out to her.
"Give me your hand."
The woman in green was puzzled.
"What? You want me to give you money as a thank you?"
Qi Huang held her fingertips and drew a talisman with spiritual energy.
As the last stroke was made, the talisman disappeared and melted into the green-clad woman's palm.
"Whatever your motives, risking your life to save me is a favor. I have no money to give you, but this amulet will keep you safe."
The woman in the green dress felt a chill seep into her.
But she didn't see any talismans.
They didn't believe it at all.
He gave a bitter, forced smile.
"Keep me safe? Maybe help me escape this sea of suffering?"
Qi Huang was taken aback.
But then the madam's angry shouts rang out from outside the door.
"Who? What blind fool dares to come in... Greenery? What are you doing here? Did you knock out the maid outside?"
The madam was aggressive.
The greenery is not in a hurry.
She gave a soft, alluring hum.
"I just heard that an unparalleled beauty has arrived, so I came to take a look."
The madam didn't believe her and stepped forward to pinch her arm.
"You little slut, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Once a woman falls into my hands, no one can escape. If it weren't for the fact that you can still make money, I would have skinned you alive today."
Greenery glared at Qi Huang with a look of disappointment and frustration.
He turned and walked out.
The madam continued, "Do you really think that by hooking up with the Third Prince, who has been demoted to a commoner, you can one day escape this brothel? You're really dreaming. Keep making money; the Third Prince drinks every day, and he'll bankrupt you sooner or later."
"What do you know? His Highness was just born at the wrong time. With his talent, he will regain his glory sooner or later."
Greenery angrily turned and left.
Qi Huang never expected that the Third Prince would be drunk and lying in Chunxiang Courtyard.
He was also being kept by a prostitute.
The madam shook her head helplessly.
He looked at Qi Huang with a wary gaze.
"If you dare to have any other thoughts..."
"Find someone to do my makeup."
Qi Huang's words shattered all her suspicions.
The madam's face changed rapidly.
With a beaming smile, she dressed Qi Huang up as a bewitching beauty, veiled her face, and gracefully entered the private room.
"Master Li, the beauty has arrived!"
Before the madam could finish speaking, a wine jug was thrown out of it.
Qi Huang quickly dodged to the side, and the wine pot hit the madam's head squarely, splashing wine all over her face.
The makeup on my face was washed off in streaks.
"You bastards, a bunch of ungrateful bastards."
An angry roar came from inside the room.
"I am the father of the Imperial Concubine. I invited them to a banquet, and they put on airs? They are just second or third-rank officials who used to live off the Su family. Now that I'm showing them the right path, they shouldn't be invited? They're simply asking for trouble!"
The servant who brought the news knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not say a word.
Unable to vent his anger, Li Zhi began smashing things everywhere.
To please him, the madam gave him the best room.
If this continues, the losses will be enormous.
The madam hurriedly pulled Qi Huang over.
"You're in charge of appeasing him, or I'll hold you responsible for all the money we lost today."
After saying that, he shoved the person inside.
"Master Li, the beauty has arrived."
Li Zhi was holding a jade porcelain ornament, ready to smash it, when he heard this and turned to look over.
Upon seeing Qi Huang's graceful figure and her face, half-hidden behind a pipa, he narrowed his eyes instantly.
He gestured for the servants to leave, then reached out to grab her.
Qi Huang took a step back.
After the door closed, he spoke softly.
"I can help you."
Li Zhi is now burning with rage.
She reached out to pull at the belt around her waist.
"Take off your veil for me, or I'll burn down your yard."
Qi Huang turned and sat down on the relatively clean chair.
Her gaze beyond the veil was clear and sharp.
"Su Weichuan is dead. His courtiers are now trembling with fear of making a mistake and being caught by the emperor. With you inviting people to a brothel for drinks in such a grand manner, it's no wonder they won't come."
Li Zhi was stunned by her imposing manner and asked blankly.
"What...what do you mean?"
Qi Huang took a small box out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Throughout history, emperors have been most fond of the art of immortality, and elixirs were the most common substances they consumed. I am a priestess, skilled in alchemy. My people, because of my unusual appearance, considered me a cursed and unlucky person, and banished me from their clan, forcing me to wander aimlessly. Now, I have been wronged and forced into the Chunxiang Courtyard, with no one to rely on."
