Chapter 62 You'd better die outside!
Fortunately, Xu Yanyi changed Feng Xuanling's prison uniform on the way.
Otherwise, if the brothel owner heard that this was the rebel leader who escaped from prison, she would probably be scared to death.
"Why do you care so much? After all, which of the young prostitutes who come to your place is here for the right reasons? They are all shady people. Just take them in."
Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes in disgust.
The madam coughed twice in embarrassment. Who is this girl's background? How could she know so much about it?
Xu Yanyi knew at a glance that the madam was suspicious of her identity.
She sipped her tea slowly without explaining.
The original owner was Princess Huiyang, and the person behind this Yihong Courtyard was Prince Rong, the younger brother of the late emperor.
Prince Rong was not interested in women but men, so he kept many retainers in his mansion.
People outside who don’t know about it may think that they are just discussing academic matters on a daily basis, but the late emperor knew about it.
Moreover, the handsome man that was later snatched from Yihong Courtyard was meant to be given to Prince Rong first, which caused such a big fuss.
The common people in the capital didn't know, but everyone in the palace knew it. It's just that Prince Rong's behavior was a disgrace to the royal family, so everyone kept silent about it.
The madam said with some lingering fear: "Girl, since you know that my Yihongyuan is a place where women are bought and sold as well as men, you naturally know that the men who come in are not just for women to play with. You are here to sell your body."
"Of course I have to wait until he gets better before I can sell him. Besides, I came here today to discuss cooperation with you, not to sell him directly. If I were to sell him directly, I would just sell him to Prince Rong's mansion, right?"
Xu Yanyi blinked meaningfully.
The madam was stunned. It turned out that the person in front of her was quite important. Even Prince Rong knew him!
Taking a deep breath, the madam knelt down quickly, not daring to raise her head: "Miss, if you have any instructions, just tell me!"
Xu Yanyi curled her lips slightly: "Why are you so nervous? I've already said that I'm here to discuss cooperation with you. I won't sell this person, I'll rent him to you. I'll rent him to you for three months. If he makes money, we'll split it in half. If he doesn't make money, I'll compensate you, and it will be regarded as the medical expenses and treatment fees you pay for him."
The madam was stunned for a moment: "This, this, this, is it really possible?"
"You won't suffer any loss anyway."
Xu Yanyi's eyes flickered slightly.
"Besides, you have nothing to be untrustworthy about. I won't take your money now, and you won't suffer any loss. I can sign a receipt with you, or ask Prince Rong to be your guarantor?"
"No, no, no need."
The madam quickly raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said awkwardly, "I will do whatever you say, young lady. I will listen to you. When he recovers from his injury..."
"You have to keep an eye on him during this time. You know, good-looking people tend to have a temper."
Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, yes, I have experience in this area. Once you enter my Yihong Courtyard, no matter if you are a man or a woman, you can't escape even if you have wings."
The madam quickly made the promise.
"That's good."
Xu Yanyi nodded, glanced at the person on the bed, turned around and walked out.
*The capital city was in chaos. All the shops under Mu Nanzhou's name were looted, and some were smashed to pieces. Although the capital's patrol teams, government guards, etc. were dispatched and most of the fugitives were captured, a small number of people still escaped.
The entire capital is under martial law, and Mu Nanzhou's reputation has fallen to the bottom.
"I heard that Prince Nanling released those serious criminals in prison just to make Li Qiuer smile. Is that true?"
"Wow, King Nanling seems like a tyrant."
"This is not like the style of King Nanling!"
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
All kinds of gossip were spreading like wildfire in the capital.
Mu Nanzhou was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground: "Damn it! Have you found Xu Yanyi?"
"To reply to Your Majesty, I haven't found it yet..."
The guard whispered.
Mu Nanzhou's face was gloomy. He could no longer hear what the woman was thinking. This uncontrollable mind-reading ability made him very annoyed!
The rumors spreading outside were all messy, but they were deliberately spread by Mu Nanzhou in order to cover up the real situation.
After all, Xu Yanyi had a special identity. If people knew that he wanted Xu Yanyi to die in the water dungeon without the permission of the empress dowager or the emperor, the people on the side of the Grand Tutor would probably have another excuse to make trouble.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Nanzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Go find her! Search the entire capital city to find Xu Yanyi for me!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The guards rushed out of Nanling Palace in a hurry.
Li Qiuer's body was covered with wounds. Although Mu Nanzhou had asked the doctor to draw out the poison from her wounds with silver needles, it would take some time to heal from so many wounds.
Mu Nanzhou walked to her bedside and said, "Just rest and don't worry about anything else."
Li Qiuer nodded with a sob: "Cousin, it's all my fault. If I hadn't gone to see the princess today, she wouldn't have been so crazy to release those prisoners and instigate them to smash your store..."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about those things."
Mu Nanzhou reached out to cover her with the quilt and said, "Have a good rest. I'm going out for a while!"
Li Qiuer anxiously grabbed his hand and said, "Cousin, where are you going?"
"Something's going on."
Mu Nanzhou left quickly without explaining.
Li Qiuer's face was gloomy. She must have gone to find that bitch Xu Yanyi!
Xu Yanyi! You'd better die outside! Otherwise I won't let you go!
*Xu Yanyi took Xiaoyu into Baoshizhai.
As soon as she entered the door, Xu Yanyi felt like she was in a garden museum, with flowers and plants everywhere, rockery and flowing water, and a few butterflies flying by from time to time.
Most importantly, there are no mosquitoes!
"Isn't this... too beautiful?"
Xiaoyu's eyes widened in admiration.
The tips of Xu Yanyi's ears moved slightly, and her gaze fell on a tree trunk on the side, where several birds were perched. One of them was exactly the same as the one that saved her in the water dungeon.
"Could it be that the one who saved me was..."
Xu Yanyi was wondering when Master Yue, dressed in white and wearing a mask, slowly walked towards her.
It has to be said that some people's temperament is innate. Even if you can't see their true face, their every move is full of nobility, just like an immortal.
"Master Yue, I thought you were not here. I knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. I had no choice but to come in by myself. It really scared me."
Xu Yanyi looked at him helplessly.
Master Yue stopped in front of her and chuckled: "You almost turned the capital upside down, and you're still worried about whether I have anyone here. I promised you to come here, so of course you can come anytime."
Xu Yanyi pointed at the bird and said: "In the water dungeon, there was a bird like that that saved me, right..."
"Yes, I called him."
Master Yue raised his hand.
The identical bird fluttered its wings and flew over to land on his hand.
Xu Yanyi's eyes flashed with surprise, but then she thought again and felt strange: "It's amazing that you can train a bird so well, but how did you know to let your bird go to the water prison to save me?"
