Chapter 263: Being Tricked
"The lady lives at the entrance of the alley, so Doctor Xu doesn't have to pass many houses to get in. She has been a recluse since she got married, so the people around her don't know her very well, and no one cares about her family's affairs. Most of the time, she comes late at night, or goes in the morning and leaves in the middle of the night, so no one around her thinks it's wrong."
Lu Xiang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's go back home."
"Miss, why don't you go in and catch Doctor Xu red-handed so you can threaten him?" Ah Man asked.
Lu Xiang: "Don't alert the enemy yet. Wait until Doctor Xu leaves before arresting the young woman."
Ah Man responded, got out of the carriage, pulled the reins and drove back.
Sitting on the shaft of the cart, Ah Man couldn't help but ask.
"Miss, do you want to interrogate that woman first? With her relationship with Doctor Xu, how could she know the secret?"
In the car, Lu Xiang paused and said, "I'm not sure. Let's ask first. Anyone who has some connections may know more than others."
Ah Man nodded, not quite understanding.
Anyway, she will listen to whatever the lady says.
After sending Lu Xiang back to the Lu Mansion, Ah Man went out again and hid quietly aside until night fell and the streets were deserted. Then she saw Doctor Xu slowly walk out of the door, leaving in a happy mood.
Ah Man jumped down from the wall and saw the young woman boiling water in the kitchen. She was startled when she heard the noise and turned around and shouted, "Who?"
As soon as a word came out of his mouth, he was knocked unconscious by Ah Man's hand knife.
Ah Man put out the fire in the stove, carried the person and left.
A place to attract wealth!
As night falls, this becomes the most lively and noisy place.
Huo Pengzheng received Lu Xiang's instructions and after he took down Laiyun Casino, he fortunately took it over and renamed it Jinbao Casino.
Bringing in wealth and treasure…
Huo Pengzheng said, it sounds like they are a family.
Lu Xiang was speechless at his ability to name things.
However, because the Zhaocai Casino has just got on track and cannot spare any staff for the time being, the Jinbao Casino is currently only doing casino business.
Ah Man entered from the back door. Huo Yi was hiding in the backyard and lazing around. When he suddenly saw Ah Man coming in, he was so scared that he choked and almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"You...why are you here?"
He just hid here to take a break and was caught red-handed.
Huo Yi seriously suspected that Ah Man was not blocking him on purpose.
Ah Man ignored Huo Yi's horrified look and carried the woman to the warehouse nearby.
Huo Yi hesitated for a moment, then followed him: "Who is this person?"
Ah Man: “I don’t know him.”
Huo Yi was dumbfounded: "I didn't know you knocked someone out and carried him back home. Is this your new way of playing because life is so boring?"
Ah Man ignored him and found a rope to tie the man up.
Seeing that Ah Man ignored him, Huo Yi curled his lips and squatted quietly aside.
After Ah Man had tied up the man's hands and feet, she said to Huo Yi, "You're not going back tonight, are you? Then you keep an eye on him. The young lady will come over to question him tomorrow."
The corner of Huo Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded resignedly.
After giving Huo Yi some instructions, Ah Man left.
The next morning, Lu Xiang entered the backyard and saw Huo Yi squatting at the door of the warehouse. At this moment, he was holding porridge in one hand and a bun in the other.
He slurped a mouthful of porridge and then took a bite of bun, eating quite happily.
"Miss Third." Huo Yi saw Lu Xiang and quickly stood up and called out, "Miss Third, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Lu Xiang replied, "Why are you squatting here to eat?"
Huo Yi glanced at Ah Man with resentment in his eyes and said, "Ah Man asked me to watch this man..."
"You haven't been guarding this door all night, have you?" Lu Xiang asked in astonishment.
Huo Yi didn't say anything, but his aggrieved expression said it all.
Well……
Lu Xiang looked at Huo Yi with a smile on his face: "With so many people watching, it's not easy for a woman like her to escape."
Young man, you are too honest.
"Go sit down and eat." Lu Xiang said.
Huo Yi nodded, knowing that the Third Miss was going to come in and question him, so he didn't ask any more questions and went into the kitchen with the porridge.
Because the gambling house opens at midnight, everyone was still asleep this morning and the entire backyard was very quiet.
Lu Xiang and Ah Man pushed open the door of the warehouse...
The breeze was warm, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and even the air was filled with the crisp scent of licorice.
The sunlight slanted in through the carved window lattices, casting a golden glow on the ground. The carpet with exquisite totems seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze, which was extremely gorgeous.
In the side hall of Jingren Palace, the pearwood round table was filled with exquisite breakfast. Yunlu and Sangye were serving breakfast to Queen Song. Suddenly, Shaohua strode in and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the Third Miss wants to see you."
Queen Song was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Hurry up and ask her to come in. She came to the palace so early, I'm afraid she didn't have breakfast, right?"
Shao Hua: "Madam, the Third Miss has brought a woman in. She said she has something for you to handle. We dare not disturb you while you are eating. She is waiting in the main hall."
When Queen Song heard this, she wondered what difficulties she had encountered.
So he didn't ask any more questions, hurriedly drank the millet porridge in the bowl, rinsed his mouth, and got up to go to the main hall.
Inside the hall, Lu Xiang sat drinking tea while Zi Su waited respectfully beside him.
The girl was dressed in a plain jacket and skirt, with no makeup on her fair and beautiful face. Her profile was soft, like the softest and most delicate jade, emitting a faint fluorescence.
When Lu Xiang heard footsteps, he quickly stood up and turned around.
Queen Song only felt that when she looked back at that moment, it was as if thousands of datura flowers were quietly blooming, dazzling and beautiful.
She couldn't help feeling a pang of regret.
Such a gorgeous and beautiful flower is really a bargain for Chu Jinyan.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."
Queen Song smiled, raised her hand, and strode towards her: "Get up quickly."
"Thank you, Madam."
When the woman who was brought into the palace by Lu Xiang saw the queen again, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She knelt on the ground with a pale face.
Empress...Empress?
Will she be able to leave the palace alive?
If I had known it was such a pit of fire, I would never have gotten involved with Xu.
She had been frightened once before, and she was hungry and scared. Suddenly, she was thrown into the carriage and taken into the palace. The fact that she did not faint from fright was a sign of her good composure.
But the woman felt that she might as well faint.
"What is this?" Queen Song asked Lu Xiang as she looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with her hands tied behind her back.
Lu Xiang bowed and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I hurried into the palace today to ask you to do something for Concubine Zhen, as she was framed."
Queen Song's eyebrows jumped and she asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, this woman is Doctor Xu's mistress. Because she is worried about Concubine Zhen's pregnancy, she wanted to ask Doctor Xu about it. But today, she told me that Concubine Zhen's pregnancy might be fake... Please ask a trustworthy doctor to re-diagnose Concubine Zhen's pulse. Although this is just my guess, please arrest Doctor Xu and torture him severely."
