Chapter 98: People without destiny, passing by without seeing each other
After Liu left, Yun Bailian became more and more excited the more she thought about it.
She couldn't wait any longer, so she immediately had someone carry her to the prince's courtyard.
But when he arrived at the courtyard, he was told that the prince was not in his room.
Yun Bailian was puzzled. He had just been beaten with twenty boards and his leg injury had not healed yet. Why didn't he rest in his room?
Then I heard the servant say:
"The Crown Prince has gone to see Concubine Su."
Yun Bailian was furious and almost had someone carry her to Su Yuruo's yard.
But in the end, he was persuaded by his personal maid Chunlan.
Come to think of it, the prince had just been beaten with a stick. Even if he stayed in Su Yurou's room overnight, nothing would happen between them.
I'm in such a miserable state now. If I go there, not only will I not be able to win favor, but I will be disliked instead. It's not worth it.
Yun Bailian returned to her room angrily, clutching the bed sheet tightly, and gritted her teeth:
"Damn Su Yurou, didn't you insist on snatching the crown prince from me?"
"Oh, my mother just happened to give me something good, so I'll use you as an example to see if it works!"
…
the next day.
Nanzheng hurriedly reported:
"Your Highness, the secret guards have an urgent report: the princess went to East Street early this morning, but suddenly disappeared without a trace!"
Xiao Changheng frowned slightly:
"Did he disappear in front of Zuixianlou?"
Nan Zheng was stunned:
"Yes... Your Majesty, you know everything?"
"I guessed it." Xiao Changheng said calmly, "If that's the case, just have the secret guards wait where they are. She'll reappear sooner or later... I guess."
Nan Zheng left in confusion.
Xiao Changheng stared at the tea in the cup in a trance for a long time, then curled his lips slightly.
"Setting up a fortune-telling stall... Is this the Tianming Pavilion you were talking about last time?"
…
…
Chen Guojiu's complaint and the impeachment of the Regent Princess by the censors caused an uproar in the city.
Especially when it was finally found out that it was a complete false accusation, more than a dozen officials were beaten with sticks, Chen Guojiu had his property confiscated and was exiled, and even the crown prince and the crown princess were both punished... Every single one of these things shocked the court and the public.
Although the facts have been made public, in this era where news spreads entirely by word of mouth, it is inevitable that it will be distorted if it is spread too much.
Many people in the court believed that Yun Qingqing was able to achieve a great victory because of the regent, a murderous god, who protected his people without any bottom line. He relied on the military power in his hands to force even the emperor to give in.
Even his words about handing over the military command were misinterpreted as a warning and threat to the emperor.
Naturally, the Queen's party had a hand in this.
However, Xiao Changheng didn't care about these rumors. Anyway, his image as a killing god was deeply rooted in people's hearts, so he never cared about it.
Not to mention Yun Qingqing, she doesn't care what others think of her.
She was busy taking care of the business of Tianming Pavilion.
The second day of opening.
"Princess, I know I was wrong! I was short-sighted and shouldn't have said that. Please don't sell me back to the government office!"
"We were also frightened by yesterday's scene. We are just weak women with no one to rely on. We just want to protect ourselves. You can understand, right?"
"Hong Ling, we are sisters. Can you really bear to ignore our relationship and send us away? Can you please help me ask the princess?"
Those who were lying on the ground and begging for mercy were Lan Ying and the other three who had insisted on handing over Yun Qingqing to protect themselves yesterday.
They had planned to leave Tianxiang Pavilion and go out to report that the princess was inside. This would not only help them get out of the situation, but they might also be able to gain some rewards for their merit.
As a result, he was trapped in the formation as soon as he went downstairs.
Several people couldn't leave, but they saw everything that happened yesterday clearly and were completely dumbfounded.
When Mu Hongling took out the three people's indentures and prepared to take them to the government office, Lan Ying and the others realized what they had missed.
The girls who stayed behind all had the princess's promise that they would be converted to good people within a year!
But the three of them had to leave Tianxiang Pavilion, the most tolerant shelter for prostitutes, and return to the government office to face the unknown next buyer!
Several people regretted their decision so much that they knelt down and begged for mercy, crying bitterly, hoping to stay.
Yun Qingqing looked at them coldly:
"I gave you a chance. I made it very clear yesterday. You only get one chance. If you leave, you will bear the consequences at your own risk. If you truly know you're wrong, you should be willing to bear the consequences."
"The truth is, you're begging for mercy not because you admit your mistakes, but because you can't accept the loss of your interests. If I were still as vulnerable as I was yesterday, you would still be as eager to return to the government office and get rid of this place completely."
Several people were speechless.
Mu Hongling sighed, waved her hand, and asked Yu Mama to lead a few guards to take them away.
Lan Ying staggered out, but resentment and unwillingness gradually filled her eyes.
Princess, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
Now I know your secret. After I get out, I must find an opportunity to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
He was beaten with a stick, I believe he must be very interested in the secrets of Tianming Pavilion!
Lan Ying was thinking about it in her mind and felt relieved.
As long as she can properly utilize the information she has, she may have a chance to completely escape slavery. Haha, even if the princess is unwilling to give her, she can still get it herself!
However.
The moment she stepped out of the gate of Tianming Pavilion with full of calculations in her mind, she was suddenly struck by a mysterious feeling.
Lan Ying paused.
"What are you dawdling for? Go!" The guard pushed her impatiently.
She walked a few steps in a daze, then looked back at the restaurant sign behind her with a blank expression on her face.
She knew she had made a mistake and was about to be sold back to the government office.
She still remembered that she knew a big secret about the rich and powerful, but... what was it?
The guards began to push her forward again. She shook her head in confusion and withdrew her thoughts.
Forget it, my life is worthless. Even if I know about the affairs of those noble people, what does it have to do with me?
It’s better to plan well for the future.
upstairs.
Mu Hongling stood at the window and saw clearly the dazed and confused expressions of Lan Ying and the others.
Although she already knew it yesterday, she still found it amazing.
"They really have forgotten... How did you do it, Boss? The huge Tianming Pavilion is clearly right here, yet no one can see it coming and going! And no one even remembers that there used to be a Tianxiang Pavilion here."
The clouds are clear and calm:
"It's just a trick to deceive people and conceal the truth."
It's all routine operation.
Concealing the secrets of heaven and erasing Tianxiang Pavilion - revealing the existence of Tianming Pavilion, although it is a bit troublesome, a mere building is just a dead object, and it is much simpler to operate than a living being.
However, in this world lacking spiritual energy, she had not yet recovered her cultivation, so it was still very difficult.
But it would be much easier if you borrowed the blood of a lucky guy.
I had previously asked Xiao Changheng for his precious blood. I used one drop to make the space ring, and another drop to open the formation of Tianming Pavilion.
Now there is only the last drop left, which she keeps carefully in the ring and has no intention of using it again.
"But now, apart from the sisters in our building, no one can see our Tianming Pavilion. The sign outside the door is also invisible to outsiders. How can you still do business, boss?"
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"It's not that no one can see it, it's just that the Destiny Pavilion cannot be seen by those who are not destined to see it."
"You mean..." Mu Hongling was surprised.
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"Only those who are destined to seek something can see the entrance to the Destiny Pavilion."
As she spoke, she pointed toward the door:
"The guests are coming."
