"Why didn't you call me for dinner? I was starving and thought there was no food, but then I saw Mo Qing standing outside."
The two separated in a hurry, and Gu Yunni's face was red as blood.
The Imperial Master didn't even look at the two of them, and just sat at the table, feasting on his food.
"Why aren't you talking? There's still so much food left. Haven't you two eaten yet? Let's eat together. Don't wait for me. You're welcome."
The atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange, but the Imperial Master was a thick-skinned man. He stuffed food into his mouth and didn't forget to greet them.
"No need! You can eat it by yourself. We have already eaten." Gu Yunni quickly agreed, fearing that the imperial teacher would notice something.
The Imperial Master just frowned, stopped talking, and continued eating with his head down.
Sheng Mingyu secretly hooked Gu Yunni's fingers from below, and the warmth between the two continued.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, it was dark outside and the downstairs became lively.
Mo Qing hurried into the room and came over to urge him.
"Your Highness, it's almost time. Shall we go to the next room? Boss Liu is on his way. I'm sure he'll send someone to invite the Crown Prince's wife as soon as he gets to the brothel."
They had already arranged people to follow Boss Liu, and none of his actions could escape Sheng Mingyu's eyes.
"We'll be waiting in the next room. There's a secret door here. If it gets really urgent, just turn the vase to open it, or call for help, and someone will be assigned outside your door."
Sheng Mingyu was extremely worried. He held Gu Yunni's hand and kept giving her instructions.
The Imperial Master was very annoyed. "Alright, alright! This isn't a life-and-death separation. You two will see each other again in an hour at most. Hurry and leave. It will be awkward if the servants come and block you inside the house."
The Imperial Master grabbed Sheng Mingyu's arm with a look of disgust on his face.
"Then this prince will leave first."
"Okay." Gu Yunni agreed gently and nodded no matter what Sheng Mingyu said.
Only after everyone left did Gu Yunni straighten her clothes and sit nervously in the room.
Not long after, my mother came running out of the door. She was smiling at first, but when she saw Gu Yunni, her expression calmed down, she closed the door, and gave her careful instructions.
"Princess, Boss Liu is here. He's downstairs and asked to see you. I just received five hundred taels of silver from him. Please wait in the room while I call him up."
Mom gave all the banknotes to Gu Yunni. This was the money she got from selling the Crown Prince's Consort. She wouldn't dare spend it even if she had a hundred lives.
"The room next door has been arranged. As long as you call out, His Royal Highness will be able to hear you. Also, I told Boss Liu that you can play the piano. Just pretend to play it and get Boss Liu drunk, and your plan will succeed."
At the last moment, my mother gave me a lot of instructions.
She has worked in a brothel all her life and has the most experience in dealing with this kind of people.
Besides, Boss Liu often comes here, so she knows what his personality is like.
"Thank you, mother, for arranging this matter today. I am sorry for your trouble. When it is done, I will ask the prince to reward you."
Gu Yunni nodded in agreement and made a promise.
This mother is indeed decisive and efficient in her work, no wonder Sheng Mingyu takes a fancy to her.
"Princess, please don't be polite. I have been under the Crown Prince for many years. This is what I should do. I will leave first."
"good."
After everyone left, Gu Yunni had just sat down when Boss Liu pushed the door open and looked at Gu Yunni's face in a daze for a long time.
In fact, she does not have the outstanding talent of a fairy, but she is pure and innocent, especially her temperament, which cannot be imitated by others. She can attract people's attention at first sight.
"Mom really didn't lie to me. She is indeed a fairy. Please play a song for me first and pour me a glass of wine."
Boss Liu acted like a gentleman and did not rush towards Gu Yunni impatiently.
If she ignored the greed that flashed across his eyes, Gu Yunni would really believe that he was a gentleman.
After filling the wine glass, she sat in front of the guqin, stroking it first before officially starting to play.
Fortunately, she had some knowledge of it before, otherwise she would not be able to deal with it today.
Although I only know the basics, it's enough.
She placed her hands on the piano and began to play it smoothly. Sheng Mingyu, who was in the next room, heard the music and was captivated by it.
He had heard many masters play the piano, but Gu Yunni's playing...had a unique flavor.
"Not bad, not bad! Stop playing and come over and have a drink."
Boss Liu also got involved and waved to her.
Gu Yunni smiled gently from beginning to end and didn't say much.
She drank when asked to drink and played the piano when asked to play the piano, and Boss Liu did not take any action against her.
"This year's Oiran is quite quiet, unlike the ones in the past who would pounce on me whenever they saw me. Why is your personality so different from theirs? Were you once a good girl?"
Mr. Liu felt that everything was boring and could only chat with Gu Yunni.
Seeing that there was a topic to talk about, Gu Yunni also spoke freely, "My father is seriously ill and needs a large sum of money for treatment. I have no choice but to fall into prostitution. I hope the master will have some sympathy for me."
Gu Yunni's eyes were red and tears were about to fall, and she put on a delicate look.
Master Liu looked greedy and quietly put his hand on her back.
"It turns out that a family member is sick. It's not a big deal. I know many miracle doctors and I have enough money. As long as you are willing to come with me, everything can be discussed."
Boss Liu wiped her tears and held her in his arms.
Gu Yunni suppressed her nausea and didn't push the person away, but she was still crying.
"My dear, please stop crying. It hurts my heart. As long as you stay with me tonight, I will definitely treat your family's illness and give you the full amount of money. I won't give you a penny less and I will give you some extra rewards."
After saying this, Mr. Liu was about to carry Gu Yunni to the bed.
Gu Yunni put on a shy look and let him do what he wanted.
The two were about to lie down with their clothes on when Gu Yunni took advantage of their proximity and threw out a smoke screen, causing Master Liu to fall down immediately.
She quickly ran to the next room and called Sheng Mingyu and others.
Looking at Gu Yunni's drunken appearance, Sheng Mingyu's face turned ugly.
"Why do you look so grim? Didn't you say you weren't angry? I didn't let him touch me, I just had a few extra drinks."
Gu Yunni smiled secretly. She really liked Sheng Mingyu's possessiveness towards her.
"Hmph." Sheng Mingyu returned to his previous behavior, snorted, turned his head and stopped talking.
"Alright, alright! Go over and see what to do with this person. We need to be quick and efficient. If it's a sudden death, we need to make it look like a sudden death, so that no one can find any clues when examining the body."
Mo Qing had already taken action, and when Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni came over, Master Liu was already dead.
His eyes bulged outwards, his mouth was wide open, and he looked like he had died suddenly.
Mo Qing was not polite at all and pinched Master Liu's body until it turned blue.
This man has touched the Crown Prince's wife. I guess His Highness the Crown Prince wants to tear him into pieces. Beating him badly can also make his master feel better.
