"Think about it, Lord Shangshu!"
"Changle was there at the time. Don't you know how capable Changle is now?"
"What if she really has the ability to revive the Shangshu's son?"
Judging from the fight between Luo Zhaozhao and Gu Qingsheng, even Gu Miao couldn't see through Gu Qingsheng's abilities.
Although I don’t know when she became like this, Lin Song’s matter is definitely related to her.
"Resurrection...maybe it's a bit far-fetched..."
These words frightened the Shangshu, but he still said them with trembling voice.
The queen also frowned
"Miao'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How dare you talk about your sister behind her back?"
"She's not my sister!"
Being called "sister" made Gu Miao gnashed his teeth and stood up suddenly.
"Well, since you don't believe me anyway, I'll find it for you myself!"
"Old Minister! If I find your son for you, remember that you owe me a favor."
At night, the streets were bustling with people and some fires were lit.
The crowd surrounded Huaixiang Pavilion so tightly that no one could get in or out.
Lady Xi stood at the door, with a group of women standing behind her. She looked at Gu Miao and yawned.
"Princess, we really don't have the Lin Song you mentioned here."
"In a place like ours, even if there is one, it's a guest. How could they possibly support a man privately?"
Gu Miao sneered and raised his chin
"Don't explain, Madam Boss. I've already investigated everything. Lin Song is having an affair with a woman here. The one who tried to stop me last time seemed to be An Yi, right?"
"After Lin Song died, his body disappeared. People from the Shangshu Mansion came looking for that woman, but they didn't find anything."
"But..."
There was a smile on her lips, and she looked at Xi Niang with a sense of determination.
"Since Gu Miao is here today, this matter will not end so easily."
"You'd better hand Lin Song over honestly if you don't want to suffer."
"You women who sell your bodies are all so delicate and tender, I'm sure you can't even handle a slap."
The officers and soldiers behind took a few steps forward, each of them looking ferocious as if they were about to rush up in the next second.
After exhaling the cigarette in her mouth, Madam Xi looked a little distant.
"Princess, why are you doing this? I, Huaixiang Pavilion, and you are completely unfamiliar with each other. How dare you be so aggressive and threaten us?"
"Let's not talk about whether there is a Lin Song here. Even if there is, why does the princess care so much? Could it be that she likes this Mr. Lin?"
A few words made Gu Miao's face turn red
"you!"
"The women of Huaixiang Pavilion are all upright and honest people who do business honestly. In this imperial city, is there any law?"
"Princess, are you planning to kill people at random?"
Madam Xi went on to say that even with so many officers and soldiers coming, she was not afraid at all, and she spoke directly to Gu Miao. It was this look that forced Gu Miao to take a step back.
At this time, a woman ran over and whispered something in Madam Xi's ear, and Madam Xi nodded.
Seeing her like this, Gu Miao immediately understood what was going on.
"Why, is that nosy Changle coming?"
"What does it have to do with you!"
A woman behind her shouted at her, and Xi Niang raised her hand to stop her.
"Even if Princess Changle doesn't come, you have no right to punish us. We haven't broken any laws, and we haven't robbed anyone. If you are so rude, even if it means death, we will definitely fight to the death and file a lawsuit in the Imperial City."
"What's more, we have the order of the late emperor in our hands, and the current emperor will have to think twice before killing us."
From behind the group of officers and soldiers, a maid hurriedly ran to Gu Miao and whispered a few words.
As if the goal had been achieved, Gu Miao turned around
"Hey, Madam Boss, don't be so nervous. I just came here to ask you something today."
Her face, which was smiling like a snake, turned cold in an instant after she turned around.
"Walk!"
With her order, the officers and soldiers followed her away in a mighty procession.
Leaving Madam Xi and her group behind, Madam Xi frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was.
"Just leaving like that?"
People behind me whisper
"I thought so many officers and soldiers came to detain us..."
As soon as Gu Miao left, a carriage came galloping down the street.
The car stopped in front of Lady Xi. Gu Qingsheng was helped out by Bai Lu. He looked a little anxious. After looking around and seeing that nothing was wrong, he felt relieved.
"So, didn't she do anything to you? Where's Lin Song? Why can't I see Su Huai?"
Lady Xi shook her head
"No, Lin Song was staying in the dungeon with Anyi. Su Huai had been feeling unwell for the past two days and had been resting. She came and asked a few questions before leaving. It didn't seem like she had such an aggressive personality."
Just like what Madam Xi thought, it was definitely not Gu Miao's style to let it go so easily.
In order to prevent Gu Miao from doing anything else, Gu Qingsheng thought for a while.
"I'm staying here tonight."
In the woodshed of the imperial palace.
Lan Xuan offered Gu Miao a cup of tea. Gu Miao sat on a chair and looked elegantly at the girl who was tied to the chair opposite him.
Su Huai was still running a fever, her face was red, and she could only barely look up at the person in front of her.
Just now, she heard some news outside and woke up from her dream. She dragged her tired body down and wanted to go out to take a look. However, she didn't know when someone sneaked into Huaixiang Pavilion and kidnapped her when she was not prepared.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the princess of the current dynasty...
Coughing twice, Su Huai looked at the rope on his body.
"I wonder what the princess' intention is in inviting me here so late at night? Su Huai is still sick, so I hope she doesn't get sick."
"You are a patient person."
Gu Miao smiled and put down the tea
"It's a pity that it's someone from Huaixiang Pavilion."
"Don't be nervous. I brought you here mainly to find out from you the whereabouts of Lin Song and how he came back to life. Is it related to Gu Qingsheng?"
"You'd better tell me everything, otherwise you'll be in big trouble."
Su Huai stabilized his body, exhaled a few times, and looked into Gu Miao's eyes.
"I don't know what the princess is talking about."
"I don't even know who Lin Song is."
"I guessed you wouldn't either."
She was not surprised at all. Huaixiang Pavilion had the order from the previous emperor, so it was naturally confident. However...
"Lan Xuan, bring the things over here."
Then, two palace servants came in with a pot of charcoal fire, and in the charcoal fire, a red-hot iron was smoking.
"Even if Huaixiang Pavilion has the order from the late emperor, can you still break up with me just because of a little girl like you?"
"I tell you, although I am wary of the late emperor's order, you, the Huaixiang Pavilion, are also wary of the current government."
"Even if I kill you, this matter can only be suppressed."
Su Huai looked at Tie Lao and sneered.
