Chapter 306 Why Don’t You Want Me?
Just as a few people entered the Treasure Pavilion, Qin Mingyue chased someone from the other side of the street.
"Chen Shu, I know it's you! Why didn't you respond when I called you?"
Qin Mingyue came to the dark market this time to buy poison.
But then I ran into Chen Shuo!
Qianji Pavilion also has a branch in the dark market. After all, buying and selling information, as well as various hidden weapons, are not easily seen in the open.
He didn't expect to run into Qin Mingyue.
But I don't want to pay attention to her.
Qin Mingyue had already rushed over. She grabbed Chen Shu's sleeve and continued to accuse him:
"Now that you see I'm not a princess, are you going to ignore me?"
"Chen Shu, have you forgotten my life-saving grace?"
Looking at Qin Mingyue's red eyes and extremely excited expression, Chen Shuo remained indifferent.
He pried open Qin Mingyue's fingers bit by bit and said calmly:
"You saved me before, and I am loyal to you."
"And when you poisoned me for He Ming, everything between you and me was cleared."
"I don't care about you anymore, but of course, I don't hate you either."
It was the first time that Qin Mingyue saw Chen Shuo looking at her with such a distant look.
She panicked.
"No, it's impossible!"
"Chen Shu, you said that no matter what happens, you will never leave me!"
Chen Shu took big steps and turned to leave.
Qin Mingyue fell to the ground, her eyes red and tears streaming, she said angrily:
"You are no different from He Ming! You both just want to abandon me because I'm down and out!"
"No, you are more hateful than He Ming."
"You are a big liar, I will definitely make you regret it!"
Boss Zhang, who brought Qin Mingyue here, came over when he saw that she had finally stopped cursing hysterically.
"Miss Lu, are you still going to the Treasure Pavilion?"
"I heard that there is poison from the Western Regions over there, which must meet your requirements."
Qin Mingyue bit her lip and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Let’s put the statement aside for now. Now that he’s back, he shouldn’t leave again.
He must still be reluctant to give up his own.
The most important thing now is that she must first take over the Ping'an Marquis Mansion, and then gain the favor of the Queen Mother and be named a princess.
She just didn't believe that Chen Shu wouldn't come back and kneel down to beg her.
"Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion!"
Boss Zhang nodded immediately.
At the same time, Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning had already entered the Treasure Pavilion under the guidance of the middle-aged man.
The things here are really weird.
What kind of night-shining pearl is in the South China Sea, which is bigger than the one on Emperor Minghe’s hat?
What kind of Nanjiang Gu worms? Buy one and get one free...
"Oh, right, here are some medicines sent from the Western Regions, poisons, drugs, and..."
The man looked at Gu Qingning and didn't continue speaking.
But the meaning is clear.
Gu Qingning looked calm. She smiled and pulled Lu Jingyu's sleeve.
"Husband, I am interested in poisons. Please buy me some of each."
Poison and medicine are inseparable.
Gu Qingning didn't lie either.
Most importantly, she remembered that the poison Lu Yun had given Lu Jingyu was from the Western Regions and bought from this dark market.
Also, Doctor Bai said that the most important material in face-changing surgery is only available in the Western Regions...
Lu Jingyu looked at Gu Qingning lovingly.
"Since Madam likes it, then we must buy it."
He immediately asked the middle-aged man to buy two copies of each poison, and of course, the antidote as well.
Not only that, there were also the night-shining pearls in the South China Sea, the poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang, the iceberg snow lotus in the northern desert, etc.
All of them.
The things in the Treasure Pavilion are very expensive.
Lu Jingyu's generosity immediately attracted the two people at the railing on the third floor.
One of the two men was wearing a mask and exuded a cold aura. Even though you couldn't see his face, you could tell that he was a person who should not be disturbed.
The other one was a man wearing a red robe with gold patterns. He was very handsome and it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
He sneered, "Where did this upstart come from? He is so ignorant."
The masked man said in a cold voice: "The child following behind them was from the Demon Abyss before."
The man in red looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you say that the people in the Demon Abyss are either under your command or dead?"
Masked man: "Maybe he should have died, but was saved."
The man in red narrowed his eyes and looked at the couple below.
It's obvious that the man is very rich, but the woman doesn't seem to be very beautiful?
He smiled:
"Let Lao Tan take the person to the Secret Treasure Auction House."
After a while, Lu Jingyu and his friends had bought almost everything.
Old Tan still bowed respectfully and said to them:
"Dear guest, our Treasure Pavilion will hold a secret treasure auction every once in a while. You will definitely be interested in the things inside."
Lu Jingyu remained calm and turned to look at Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning nodded, "Okay, it's a good opportunity to go and broaden my horizons."
When Old Tan saw how happy she was, a hint of sneer flashed in his eyes.
You know, this so-called secret treasure is actually for men.
Sure enough, Lu Jingyu, Gu Qingning and others followed Old Tan through a long corridor and came to a mysterious and strange place.
When we got to the door, Old Tan suddenly said:
"Madam, this is not a place for you to go in. Why don't you take a rest in the tea room next door?"
In such a dangerous place, how could Lu Jingyu let Gu Qingning leave his sight?
So, before Gu Qingning could speak, Lu Jingyu said:
"I just brought my wife out to relax today. What do you mean by not letting her in?"
Old Tan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then when we go in later, please don't be angry, Madam."
What he said made people even more suspicious.
Afterwards, Old Tan asked someone to lift up the red gauze in front, and the noise inside suddenly came out.
What comes into view is a large round platform.
At this time, there were some beauties from the Western Regions dressed coolly, wearing pearl veils, dancing gracefully.
The men around looked excited.
"I want the woman in blue. I'll pay you three thousand taels!"
"I want the one in red. I'll pay five thousand taels!"
Gu Qingning: "..."
Lu Jingyu: “…”
No wonder Gu Qingning was not allowed in.
However, these women are all from the Western Regions?
In other words, the boss behind the Treasure Pavilion is from the Western Regions?
Lu Jingyu said disdainfully:
"They are just some enchanting women, definitely not as pretty as my wife. How can they be called secret treasures?"
"It seems that your Treasure Pavilion is just so-so!"
Gu Qingning felt a little embarrassed, thinking that what he said was a bit too much.
Because they all disguised themselves when they came out this time.
Her current appearance is at best pretty.
Before Old Tan could say anything, a man in red suddenly came over, clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"My dear guest, you don't know that these slaves are very capable."
"They can make men instantly drunk and dreamless, and prolong their lives."
Lu Jingyu looked at him, "Your Excellency is..."
Nangong Chi: "I am the owner of this Treasure Pavilion, Nangong Chi. How about you take a slave back to try it out?"
When he said this, his eyes swept around Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning pursed her lips, and immediately hugged Lu Jingyu's arm in frustration.
"My dear husband, if you want to take a concubine, I can go back and marry you one of those good girls."
"It's better not to take this back!"
Lu Jingyu's eyes flashed with hesitation, but he finally raised his head and refused Nangong Chi:
"Thank you for your kindness, Boss Nangong. I won't buy this slave."
"We have almost finished touring the Treasure Pavilion, so we will leave first."
After saying this, he left with his wife and others.
Nangong Chi looked at his back, thoughtfully.
Old Tan came over after a while and said speechlessly:
"I didn't expect that this man, who is so rich, is actually henpecked?"
"That slave girl, I was so touched just by looking at her, but he was so indifferent?"
Nangong Chi: "It's impossible for a man to remain indifferent, or he has ulterior motives."
As for henpecked?
A man who is truly henpecked in this world must not be very capable.
Unless this person's family fortune was inherited from his wife's family, in simple terms, he is a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family.
But even so, as a man, how can he not cheat?
Sure enough, not long after, Zhufeng came back.
He found Lao Tan and whispered, "Is there a buyer for the green-dressed slave on the stage just now?"
Old Tan immediately smiled knowingly, "Not yet, but if we want to auction it, how much money can your master offer?"
Zhu Feng held up a finger, "Ten thousand taels."
Old Tan smiled brightly, "Okay, okay, I'll give you the money and the person!"
At the same time, Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu were already sitting in the carriage.
She whispered, "Where are you going to take that slave girl?"
Lu Jingyu: "Have Su Ziyuan arrange them in a courtyard and interrogate them strictly to find out what is going on with these erotic slaves."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Qingning's expression and suddenly realized, "Do you think I will bring it back home?"
Gu Qingning shook her head and said, "I just entered that place and smelled a strong fragrance."
"That is to say, these slaves probably usually use aphrodisiac perfume to take a bath."
How can a man not be crazy?
She was a little curious.
"The way you looked at those slaves just now, were you acting, or were you really not interested at all?"
Lu Jingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Of course it was an act."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that those aphrodisiacs have no effect on me."
"I fought in a war for the first time, and I kept having nightmares afterwards. It felt like my whole body was on fire."
"Then I started to like soaking in an ice bucket, and over time, any medication that made my blood boil stopped working for me."
Gu Qingning suddenly thought of what happened between them on the bed.
"But, we..."
Lu Jingyu: "How can they be the same?"
Gu Qingning pursed her lips, feeling naturally very relieved.
But I also know that today we have to deal with serious business and we shouldn't continue talking about these things.
She asked: "Should we go first, or wait for Su Ziyuan and Ouyang Rui?"
Lu Jingyu: "They are investigating another place, let's go first."
After that, he said to the people outside: "Ayu, let's go back home."
When they came back just now, because Zhufeng was sent to "buy" a beautiful slave, Mo Yu volunteered to drive the carriage.
However, just as Lu Jingyu finished speaking, there was no movement outside the curtain after he had been talking for a long time.
He suddenly raised the curtain.
It's empty!
"Where's Ayu?"
