After doing all this, she slowly turned around, her figure as light as a butterfly in flight.
Her face regained that gentle and charming smile, and her eyes were full of sincerity.
With a soft voice, she slowly said, "Your Highness may not know this, but although Linglong Pavilion is just a brothel, it is frequented by people from all walks of life."
Every day, news came and went, and all sorts of messages seemed to have wings, gathering and dispersing in this small attic, making it a veritable hub for news in the capital.
On that day, the prince's carriage hurriedly returned, its hasty departure attracting the attention of many.
Keen-eyed people saw someone carrying a girl covered in blood off the car; the scene was heartbreaking for anyone who saw it.
This matter quickly spread like wildfire, with everyone speculating about what had happened. I was fortunate enough to hear about it as well.
She also knew that the prince was loyal and righteous, and cared deeply for his subordinates. She admired the prince's character very much.
So upon hearing this news, he secretly took note and inquired about clues everywhere.
She thought to herself, "Even if it means going through fire and water, and enduring countless hardships, I will help the Prince find the culprit, share his burdens, and express my sincere gratitude."
Qin Qianluo gently held the teacup with her slender fingers, her movements gentle yet steady, and slowly brought the teacup to her lips, taking an elegant sip.
He then slowly put down the teacup, making a very soft "ding" sound that was particularly clear in the quiet space.
"In that case, thank you so much, Miss Qimeng, for thinking of me so kindly." Qin Qianluo's voice was gentle and pleasant, as if it had a touch of magnetism, echoing softly in the room.
"I am truly curious, though. What would it take to obtain the information you possess, young lady?"
She slightly raised her eyes, her gaze filled with inquiry and amusement, looking directly at Qimeng, but the smile in her eyes did not reach her eyes.
With graceful, delicate steps, each step seemed to touch the heart, her swaying figure as captivating as a flickering candle in the dark.
Like a poppy blooming in the dark night, she walked gracefully to Qin Qianluo, bowing slightly and lowering her eyes to conceal the fleeting calculation within.
Then, she slowly bent her knees and squatted down, her movements gentle and slow, like a carefully choreographed dance.
She gently placed her soft, boneless hands on Qin Qianluo's knees, her fingers slightly curled, caressing them as if she were touching a rare treasure.
Then, she raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, her gaze captivating and alluring, like a deep, unfathomable pool of spring water that could immerse one completely.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, stirring the heart with every blink.
"How dare this humble servant make any demands of Your Highness?"
Her lips parted slightly, her voice soft and melodious, with a slight upward inflection at the end, carrying a touch of allure, like the most captivating breeze in spring.
"What Your Highness desires, let alone information, even if it were to take my life, I would be willing to do it."
She bit her lower lip slightly, her pearly teeth sinking into her pink lips, and a shy yet resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
"It is truly fortunate that this Linglong Pavilion has won the favor of the Prince. If the Prince can take care of me more often in the future and visit me more often in his spare time, I will be more than satisfied."
After saying that, she tilted her head slightly, a pitiful look appearing on her face, as if she was afraid that Qin Qianluo would not agree.
Qin Qianlu lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze slowly landing on Qimeng, who was squatting in front of her.
The woman before me was graceful, with expressive eyes and charming gestures.
Anyone who saw her would think she was a rare beauty, and indeed, she was the type she usually preferred.
But for some reason, a voice in her heart kept nagging at her, making her feel that things weren't so simple.
The woman's eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light, and her deliberately feigned weakness made her wary and unable to fully trust Qimeng.
At first glance, Qimeng's request didn't seem unreasonable, and agreeing to it seemed like a good idea.
But from the moment she stepped into this exquisite pavilion, it exuded a mysterious aura, always making her feel that there were some unknown secrets hidden in the shadows.
Even Feng Qingyun was completely clueless when faced with everyone in the Linglong Pavilion, as if she were lost in a fog, which made Qin Qianluo's unease even stronger.
However, looking at it from another perspective, this might also be an opportunity.
She could use the pretext of agreeing to openly send people to move around the Linglong Pavilion and secretly investigate its true nature.
She thought to herself that this Linglong Pavilion had never been explored by Feng Qingyun before. If she came again in the future, she would definitely make her use all her skills to see it clearly.
At this moment, Feng Qingyun was in that space, accompanying Physician Xu as he searched through mountains of medical books, each page turned concerning Dark Moon's life or death.
Dark Moon's injuries are urgent; treating him is the top priority right now. Everything else, however anxious we are, must be put aside for the time being.
After some deliberation, Qin Qianluo's expression returned to normal, the wariness on her face disappeared, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a perfectly gentle smile.
He nodded and said, "Of course. If Miss Qimeng's information can help me find or catch the murderer, then you will be a benefactor to me."
"From now on, I will certainly take care of Linglong Pavilion and Miss Qimeng, and I will never break my promise."
As she spoke, her gaze was calm and firm, as if she were making an unquestionable promise to Qimeng, but the deep meaning hidden in her eyes was something no one could easily see through.
