Sayuri didn't understand what was going on and just responded.
Hong Xiuzhao is the busiest at night. If Lin Chunhuan had not had a high fever, she would not have been able to rest tonight. She came back just to get something, and after making sure that her sister who was serving her was fine, she hurried back.
Otherwise, if mom finds out, you will be punished!
Sayuri left in a hurry, but left the oil lamp in her hand behind.
With the help of that little light, Lin Chunhuan stood up and sat in front of the dressing mirror. Looking at the blurry face in the bronze mirror, which still had a faint good complexion, her breathing became more and more rapid.
Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and there are still five days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. There’s still time... there’s still time!
Huanhuan closed her eyes, and the memories before her death suddenly occupied all her thoughts.
Lin Chunhuan pursed his lips.
Hongxiulou is a brothel, but it is different from other brothels. All the girls here are honest people who sell their art but not their bodies, including her.
These girls were all homeless and pitiful people. If they had not been picked up one by one by Mother Zhuang, fed, and taught to play the piano, sing and dance, they would probably have died long ago.
Mother Zhuang is the mother of all of them.
The girls in the building have no relatives, but in their hearts, all the sisters are their relatives. However, all this was completely broken with the arrival of Qinghe!
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Chunhuan couldn't see his own eyes in the bronze mirror, but he knew that they were definitely filled with hatred!
Qinghe was picked up by Zhuang Mama two years ago. In addition to her exceptionally pretty face, she, like other girls in the building, chose to learn dancing from Zhuang Mama. She was crowned the most beautiful courtesan as soon as she stepped onto the stage.
There were many people who came to see Qinghe, and as a result, the business of Hongxiulou was better than usual. For this reason, everyone was not jealous of Qinghe at all, but was very happy for her.
Until... the Regent appeared!
In the Kingdom of Yan, the Regent is the king, with immense power, but he is also extremely lustful. I don't know where he heard of Qinghe's reputation, but he actually came to Hongxiu Tower in person.
That was the first time Qinghe openly refuted what Zhuang's mother said.
The reason was simple. Mother Zhuang knew that the Regent was coming, so she asked Qinghe to claim illness and not go out. Even if she really had to go out, she had to wear a veil, but Qinghe refused to do so.
Without any surprise, at first sight, the Regent found Mother Zhuang and wanted to redeem Qinghe.
For Lin Chunhuan, all this seemed like something from his previous life.
But in fact, today is the tenth day of August, and today is the day that the Regent wants to redeem Qinghe!
In her previous life, she didn't understand why Mother Zhuang stopped Qinghe from following the Regent. She just wanted her to be a proper lady outside, even if it was just a concubine.
That's much better than wasting time day by day in this Hongxiu Tower.
Without telling Mother Zhuang, she wanted to secretly go and congratulate Qinghe.
But she heard Qinghe tell the Regent that having a concubine who had stayed in a brothel would ruin the prince's reputation. She heard Qinghe say with her own ears that she wanted the Regent to close down Hongxiu Tower!
Even Hongxiu Tower no longer exists, so Qinghe, who once stayed here, naturally no longer exists!
Upon hearing the news, Lin Chunhuan was so frightened that she developed a high fever that night. She thought about it over and over again but didn't know what to do. The next day, she found the Regent and asked him to revoke his decision.
Give Hongxiulou a chance to survive.
All kinds of memories came flooding back. Lin Chunhuan reached out and grabbed her collar tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably... The Regent did agree.
But she didn't dare to recall those four days at all.
After the Regent, one man after another pressed on her, as if it would never end. Those men had hideous laughs and ugly faces!
My breathing stopped.
Lin Chunhuan stood up, opened the makeup box, took out the prop bag inside, and stared at the various props inside.
At that time, although her body was dirty, she was still full of joy thinking that she had saved Hongxiu Tower and her sisters would not be homeless!
This energy allowed her to walk back despite her battered body.
But the Hongxiu Tower, which was prosperous and bustling when she left, became a ruin in just a few days!
There were traces of burning fire everywhere, towering pillars collapsed, and government officials were carrying out corpses one by one.
The white cloth covering a corpse was blown away by the wind, and a beautiful face appeared before the eyes. Although the whole body was burnt black, the face was still intact.
The girl's name is Lin Yinyin, and her mother's name is Zhuang Lin. She took her own name as their surname. On weekdays, Yinyin is the one who loves beauty the most. Even when washing clothes and cooking, she always keeps her face clean.
She must be in pain.
But even though it hurt so much, I didn't forget to protect my face.
"ah……"
In front of the ruins, Lin Chunhuan's legs went weak and he fell to his knees. He wanted to scream desperately, but when he opened his mouth, his throat was blocked by the huge grief and he couldn't make a sound.
"Sister Huan, don't blame me, you brought this upon yourself!"
Qing He appeared behind her, walked up to her step by step, stretched out her hand, and pinched her stunning face, "Since you want to wear a veil, why don't you wear it for the rest of your life?"
"Why do you want the prince to see your face?"
Seeing Qinghe's eyes gradually distorted, Lin Chunhuan's face was ashen and he didn't react at all.
Qing He didn't care and continued to talk to herself, "How dare you seduce the prince behind my back? Just wait and see, this is what will happen to you!"
Lin Chunhuan turned his head away, unable to bear to look any further.
Each of those corpses carried out was a sister she had lived with day and night... every one of them!
But Qing He had no intention of letting her go. She twisted her chin and forced her to look directly at the blackened corpses. "Do you see clearly? My sister Ah Huan."
"Mother Zhuang picked you up and saved your life. Hong Que was young and served you properly, yet you didn't even let them go. Qing He, are you still human?"
Lin Chunhuan himself did not expect that he could say these words so calmly.
But after hearing this, Qing He laughed even more wildly, "A bunch of prostitutes, do you think they deserve my pity? Sister Huan, have you become stupid staying in this brothel?"
Ignoring Qing He's ridicule, Lin Chun Huan stood up and looked directly into those beautiful yet vicious eyes. "Everyone says you're beautiful, but you know better than anyone."
"Compared to me, you're nothing." Seeing the arrogance frozen on Qinghe's face, Lin Chunhuan smiled a little. "Tell me, if I wanted to enter the palace, would the prince agree?"
"Will there still be a place for you in the palace by then?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger pierced his heart, and a suffocating pain came over him.
It's like a nightmare, making it hard to breathe.
