Chapter 224 Familiar Pattern
Fan Mingzhu looked at Mo Yunzhu, seemed shocked, but then understood what it meant.
But he suddenly thought of something and said, "The future Princess Lan? Prince Lan is, is it the hostage Lord Huo Lan?"
Mo Yunzhu's eyes immediately darkened. The tone in which Fan Mingzhu said these three words was not very respectful.
"Yes, Prince Lan made great sacrifices for the stability of the two countries. After returning, he was highly valued by the emperor. The people of Qingyun also love him very much."
Ouyang Cong was afraid that Fan Mingzhu would say something unpleasant, and Mo Yunzhu would kill her if she was unhappy.
As expected, Fan Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, uttered "oh" and looked a little uncomfortable. After all, there were many silver needles inserted into her body. Although it was different, the soreness made her dare not move.
"Miss Fan, eat something and then rest. If your body is too weak, the pain relief will be short-lived and the toxins will spread quickly, making you feel worse and worse."
After Mo Yunzhu said something very professionally, she went back to the next room to rest.
The face that had been so calm and smiling just now now became gloomy and fierce. Thinking of what Prince Lan had said before, that he was bullied a bit, but the fact that Jun Huolan remembered it so clearly must have hurt him a lot.
Since this pair of siblings are here, they will naturally have to endure more of Jun Huolan's suffering.
In the second half of the night, Fan Mingzhu began to feel pain again, screaming and shouting. The maids inside held her down to prevent her from harming herself.
Mo Yunzhu was slow because she had to get dressed, and by the time she got there, Fan Mingzhu was rolling her eyes in pain.
She took out the silver needle and helped Fan Mingzhu relieve the pain again. This time, as soon as the pain disappeared, she fell into a coma.
At noon the next day, Fan Mingzhu had another attack, and Mo Yunzhu again took action to soothe the pain.
Fan Fengze was also very anxious, and Mo Yunzhu's face did not look good.
"Miss Mo, you've worked so hard." Fan Fengze knew that Mo Yunzhu got up in the middle of the night and must not have slept well.
"I'm just doing the job for money." Mo Yunzhu said and went back to rest.
At noon, Fan Fengze left Ouyang Mansion with his confidants. As soon as he left, Long Yi immediately notified Jun Huolan of Prince Lan's Mansion.
A bloody arc appeared at the corner of Jun Huolan's mouth, and he asked Long Er to notify Xiao Yi and a few others.
Fan Fengze brought four trusted men with good martial arts skills. He wanted to go to the wharf to check it out because the wharf was related to water transport. Although the Ouyang family was the richest family, they needed to discuss this area with the people from the Ministry of Revenue.
It took some time to get to the pier. Fan Fengze first took a horse-drawn carriage, but later the wheel of the carriage broke. Seeing that he was not far away, he thought of taking a shortcut through the alley.
Having walked here a few days ago, Fan Fengze and his cronies were familiar with the route. After all, the popular teahouses at the pier were very obvious from a distance.
"Young Master, that's the Qihong Tower. I heard the girls inside are absolutely stunning." The confidant Wang Zhen said obscenely.
"Once things are done, we can all go and have some fun. The girls from Qingyun look pretty good." Fan Fengze also laughed.
"Thank you, young master." The four men were very happy. One of them asked, "I heard that next to Qihong Building is Lanju Pavilion. The young prostitutes there are also very good. Young master, do you want one, hehe?"
"Xu Shi, you like this, but we don't like it. The young master doesn't like to play with men anymore."
Fan Fengze narrowed his eyes for a moment and said nothing. He was used to the nonsense with the four of them and didn't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he thought that if he went back he would just have to see Fan Mingzhu in a desperate state, so he might as well have some fun.
Suddenly, the scene from that year came to mind, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, "I wonder if there is a man in Lanju Court who is more handsome than Prince Lan."
"Young Master, your expectations are too high. Jun Huolan's face was famous in Chen State back then. Few men could surpass him."
"Young Master, it was indeed a pity back then."
Fan Fengze snorted and said, "It's a pity indeed. If someone hadn't protected him, he would have escaped."
"It's a pity that after that time, there was no chance anymore. Speaking of which, Jun Huolan does have some skills."
"Okay, stop talking about him in Qingyun. He is a hero in Qingyun now, so don't cause trouble."
"Haha, hero? Didn't you sneak into the young master's crotch back then?"
"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter again.
When Fan Fengze thought of that scene, his eyes narrowed and he couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth.
The prince of Qingyun had penetrated his crotch, which was the most amazing thing that had ever happened to Fan Fengze.
However, if it had not been a sudden situation, perhaps Jun Huolan could still have become his man. It was indeed a pity.
"Young Master, are you here to meet Jun Huolan this time?" Wang Zhen came over and asked.
"Don't be ridiculous. He hates me to the core. I'm afraid he would want to kill me if he saw me." Fan Fengze said, "It's better to have less trouble than more."
The four of them immediately gave up their thoughts and walked out of the alley.
Suddenly, two people came into the alley. They were wearing civilian robes and were talking as they walked in.
"Damn it, today is really dark. I lost a lot. When I go back, that woman will be angry again."
"Don't gamble anymore. Sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. Let's go."
Seeing that the two people in front were gamblers, Fan Fengze didn't care that much.
The two men passed by the five men, and suddenly one of them yelled, "Oops!"
Fan Fengze and the other five immediately turned their heads, and then they saw only white powder blowing towards their faces.
"Not good." Wang Zhen exclaimed, and immediately blocked Fan Fengze, but there was no way to avoid the two and four handfuls of powder.
Fan Fengze inhaled some, turned around and wanted to run, but two more men came into the alley. They were tall and strong, with their hands on their chests, blocking them from view even outside the alley.
Fan Fengze's eyes suddenly narrowed, because he seemed to see an imperceptible pattern on the cuffs of the man in front of him.
The pattern seemed familiar, but before he could see it clearly, his head felt dizzy and he fell to the ground.
The four henchmen also fell to the ground like mollusks.
Xiao San and others immediately carried the man on their backs, climbed over the wall and entered the yard next door. After several climbs, they arrived at an underground dark room.
Fan Fengze and his companions were awakened by the cold. When they opened their eyes, they found a burning brazier in the corner of the dim stone chamber.
It felt like a dungeon to them.
"Young Master, Young Master, are you okay?" As soon as Xu Shi woke up, he hurriedly called Fan Fengze beside him.
Fan Fengze felt weak all over and said, "It's okay."
"We were poisoned by cartilage powder. I don't have any strength at all." Wang Zhen tried to exert force, but found that it was impossible.
"Who is it and why are they arresting the young master?" Xu Shi asked angrily.
"We'll know when the person arrives." Fan Fengze didn't know either, but he vaguely remembered the pattern on the man's sleeve, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
