"Look, this is exactly what this musical note looks like. It's very lifelike. Do you understand?"
"I understand..."
Qin Yu was very satisfied with his explanation. He asked a question and looked up to find that Nangong Lexi, whose hand was being held, had her cheeks flushed and was stammering, clearly extremely nervous.
Of course, based on Qin Yu's extensive experience with women, something was wrong, very wrong.
The tension this guy was displaying was not normal tension; it was more like a woman's shyness.
Upon realizing this, Qin Yu trembled and quickly released his grip on Nangong Lexi's hand.
Oh shit.
Could Nangong Xiongba really be gay?
Although this guy is a nice person, I still can't accept this!
"Brother Huang, actually..."
Nangong Lexi lowered her head, seemingly wanting to explain something, but Qin Yu ruthlessly interrupted her.
"Alright! Stop talking, I understand!"
Just then, loud shouting and cursing came from outside the door.
"You son of a bitch, where's the brat who just hit me? Get out here, I'm going to kill you!"
Qin Yu frowned, and was about to stand up and peek out when Nangong Lexi put on a nervous look.
"Brother Huang, you just hit that guy, so you shouldn't make any rash moves yet."
"Something terrible has happened, young... young master!"
Outside the door, Nangong Lexi's maid opened the door to the private room and fearfully reported.
"It was Zhou Long and his group. After he was beaten, he went to find someone. It seems that someone in the brothel saw our movements!"
"How many people did they bring?" Nangong Lexi glanced at Qin Yu beside her and asked repeatedly.
In any case, she only needed to state her name, and the other party would not act rashly. But not with Brother Huang in front of her. She didn't know his background and had angered Zhou Long. Who knows, the other party might even draw his knife in a fit of rage.
“A lot! Young master, you know who Zhou Long’s godfather is. He actually summoned his godfather directly, and he even brought a whole bunch of imperial guards with him. The shopkeeper tried to stop them and was beaten up!”
"Oh dear~ What should we do?!"
Just as Nangong Lexi was frowning in distress, Qin Yu suddenly slammed his hand on the table upon hearing this.
"Outrageous! This is the capital! Under the Emperor's nose, how dare you cause such a disturbance?"
Just as he was about to step out and see who Zhou Long's godfather was, Nangong Lexi nervously stopped him.
"No! Brother Huang, you'd better not go out."
Regardless of whether Nangong Lexi actually gave it to him or not, at the very least, her concern for him was genuine.
Qin Yu gave a confident smile.
"Brother Xiong Ba, don't worry, I have brought quite a few men with me, there's no need to be afraid of him!"
After saying that, he rushed out impatiently.
Standing on the wooden railing on the second floor, Qin Yu looked down.
Zhou Long was incredibly arrogant, grabbing the shop owner by the collar and shouting loudly.
"Someone just hit me here. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way and let me upstairs!"
The boss was surrounded by a large group of people and looked somewhat frightened.
"Sir, this is a place for business, and we have so many customers here. It's not a place for revenge!"
"You dare stop me, you son of a bitch? Do you know who this is? Wang Zhen, the current head of the Eastern Depot! If you stop me again, I'll shut down this lousy teahouse, you believe me?!"
Behind him, Wang Zhen sat with a sinister smile on his face, holding a teacup in his hand.
The shopkeeper glanced in their direction, but still seemed hesitant. "But young master..."
"But it's your mother!"
Zhou Long lost his patience and, relying on Wang Zhen's support, raised his fist and punched the boss hard in the face.
With the sound of a fist hitting flesh, a scream rang out. Some timid customers, fearing they might be implicated, quickly ran away.
Qin Yu saw everything, but frowned.
"How could the head of the Eastern Depot be involved with Zhou Long? How could a eunuch have children?"
"Of course he has no sons, but Zhou Long is Wang Zhen's godson. His father is three years older than Wang Zhen. In order to curry favor, he recognized Wang Zhen as his father, so Zhou Long is naturally his grandson."
Nangong Lexi quickly explained, but seeing the other person rushing upstairs, she became increasingly anxious.
Being in the palace, she naturally knew that the Eastern Depot wielded considerable power and possessed the privilege of acting first and reporting later.
"Brother Huang, please come inside with me!"
Without saying a word, Nangong Lexi pulled Qin Yu back again. Looking around the private room, she anxiously looked towards the window.
"They came with great force, and those Eastern Depot guards are ruthless. You should escape and lay low for a while. I'll handle things here. Jump from here; it's only the second floor. You should be fine. Hurry up and leave!"
Qin Yu felt somewhat touched, but immediately sat back down in his original seat. "It's alright, let them handle the mess I made!"
Nangong Lexi was anxious and wanted to say something more to persuade him, but Wang Zhen had already kicked open the door to the private room.
Looking at the figures among them, he let out a cruel laugh.
"You bastard, you really were here!"
They rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
But Nangong Lexi opened her arms, completely blocking Qin Yu.
"No, you can't lay a hand on Brother Huang."
"Get out of here, or I'll take care of you too!"
After pushing her away, everyone finally saw Qin Yu, who was holding a teacup and sipping tea.
Many of the Eastern Depot's guards had seen the emperor's true face before, and they were completely dumbfounded on the spot. The eunuch Wang Zhen, in particular, stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.
The next second, I instinctively wanted to scream.
"Your Majesty..."
"Um?"
Qin Yu's face turned cold, and he glared at her with a sinister look.
The latter wasn't stupid; he immediately understood what this meant and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully, smiling obsequiously.
"Young Master Huang, what brings you here today?"
"No comment!"
Zhou Long, who was behind them, was clearly puzzled by this scene.
He had never seen his godfather speak so humbly to someone before.
Moreover, even though it was Wang Zhen who politely inquired, the other party's attitude was poor.
He walked straight up to Qin Yu and angrily pointed at him, cursing him.
"You bastard, my godfather is asking you a question, what kind of attitude is this?"
"Grandpa, this is the guy! He just beat up your own grandson, and now he dares to disrespect you! Kill him!"
As he turned around, Wang Zhen suddenly slapped him across the face.
Snap!
A crisp slap rang out, stunning Wang Zhen and Nangong Lexi, who had witnessed the whole thing.
Seeing his godfather's pale face and cold sweat, Zhou Long was puzzled and felt wronged, so he asked him.
"Grandpa, why did you hit me? You should have hit him!"
