Chapter 643: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 3
More than a dozen thugs in cloth clothes gathered from the four directions of east, south, west and north. For a moment, Quan Jiu was trapped.
Footsteps were heard in the corridor on the left, getting closer and closer. Quan Jiu looked around and found that the only room behind him could be used for hiding.
only……
She glanced at the dragon and phoenix lanterns hanging in the corridor outside the room.
According to the tradition of Baihualou, when the dragon and phoenix lanterns are lit, it means that the girls in this room are serving guests. At this time, the servants who serve tea will tacitly avoid them so as not to disturb the guests' private time.
Quan Jiu looked up at the lit dragon and phoenix lanterns, gritted his teeth, and pushed the door open.
There was a soft "creak" sound.
The door opened a little and she squeezed in sideways.
The superior box is gorgeously decorated, and the air is filled with a faint sandalwood scent. There is a rosewood marble table in the front hall at the entrance.
There's no one in the front hall, so it must be in the inner room.
The corners of Quan Jiu's mouth twitched. Not wanting to see a live harem, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements in the inner room.
The room was so quiet behind a carved screen that Quan Jiu couldn't even hear his breathing.
She raised her eyebrows. Have the guests inside gone to bed?
She grew bolder and tiptoed into the inner room.
Over the large solid wood bed, a red gauze curtain hung down, appearing half-visible and covering most of the scene on the bed.
Quan Jiu had good eyesight and with a quick glance, he could tell that there was someone on the bed. There was a slightly raised spot in the quilt, which showed that someone was sleeping.
There was a flicker of doubt in her eyes.
Shouldn't there be two people?
"Is there anyone on your side?" The thugs outside the door finally met.
"No one."
"There's no one here!"
Everyone looked at each other with suspicion:
"That's impossible. We're surrounding her so tightly that she can't even get away."
The leading backyard steward looked around with a gloomy face:
"This little bitch is really good at hiding. When Aunt Liu catches her, she'll definitely have a few men give her a good beating."
Some thugs showed hesitation:
"...This isn't good. After all, she's from the royal family and was once the Emperor's wife. If I really insult her, what if the Emperor blames me?"
The butler slapped him on the back of the head:
"Idiot, Aunt Liu dares to do this, of course there must be someone backing her up!"
The thug covered his head and quickly figured out the whole story. Apart from Prime Minister He Yao, the only person who was not afraid of the emperor was the governor of the East Factory.
The East Factory was independent of the imperial court and rarely interfered in political affairs. After much thought, the only lineage left was the prime minister's.
Remembering the rumor that Princess Changxi poisoned the prince in the queen's womb, the thug shut up.
"She's definitely still in Baihua Tower."
The butler had narrow triangular eyes that revealed a hint of ruthlessness. He raised his head and glanced at the lit dragon and phoenix lanterns. His gaze fell on the gate, and he raised his hand and waved.
"Go in and search!"
He pointed at the lantern hanging outside the room and said, "Butler Liang, this isn't good. The guests haven't gone to bed yet..."
The housekeeper said indifferently: "I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
The people inside are either rich or noble, but no matter how rich and noble they are, can they compare to the current queen?!
Quan Jiu frowned slightly and looked towards the place where he could hide in the inner room.
Apart from the wardrobe, there is only the bottom of the bed.
Needless to say, the wardrobe is probably the first place to be searched.
She was hesitating whether to crawl under the bed when the housekeeper spoke at the right time:
"Search carefully, especially under the bed!"
Quan Jiu: “…”
The door was pushed open and messy footsteps came in.
Quan Jiu glanced at the person who was unconscious on the bed, decisively lifted the curtain, and quietly got into the bed.
Lying down, she tilted her head to see if the person next to her was awake, but was suddenly met with a pair of deep, cold black eyes.
The man had long and narrow eyes with upturned corners, which were somewhere between peach blossom eyes and phoenix eyes. He had an alluring appearance, but because his eyes were cold and without warmth, people could feel a chill.
When Quan Jiu saw the face clearly, his heart sank.
Chen Lang, the governor of the Eastern Depot.
He entered the palace at the age of five, was castrated at the age of ten, and joined the East Factory at the age of fourteen. In just one year, he used his perverted and ruthless methods to kill the number one person in the East Factory at that time and took the position of admiral.
It is said that the governor of the East Factory at that time was Yan Wei, Shen Lang's master. Shen Lang betrayed his master and ancestors, and personally chopped off Yan Wei's head, dug out his brain marrow, made it into a wine cup, and placed it on the wooden table in the front hall of the East Factory day and night for people coming and going to appreciate.
All the officials cursed his bad behavior, but because Shen Lang was in charge of the Jinyiwei in the court and his power was above that of all the officials, everyone could only dare to be angry but not speak out.
Quan Jiu stared at the person in front of him, his mind spinning rapidly.
Shen Lang is the target of this plane, but he is not the protagonist of this plane. This is a plane that travels through a book. There are only a few words describing Shen Lang in the book, but it is such a person with no sense of existence who defeated Chu Tuo, who was the emperor, and became a new emperor.
"The author only gave Chen Lang a dozen scenes, so the system only has this much information."
The system saw the confusion in her heart and explained.
"Chen Lang, born a eunuch, ascended the throne to become emperor, a move that was already widely condemned. Later on, more and more people opposed him. To maintain his political power, Chen Lang became increasingly ruthless, shedding blood both within and without the court."
Quan Jiu's mission is to stop Shen Lang's mass killing.
Looking at the man who was supporting his face with one hand and staring at her coldly, Quan Jiu blinked innocently and spoke softly.
"Sir Admiral."
Shen Lang looked at the woman who was deliberately pretending to be good, his expression unchanged.
"Sir, a vicious fugitive has just entered your house. To ensure your safety, we must enter and search the house. Please forgive us if we have offended you."
The butler stood outside the screen, his eyes fixed on the red gauze curtain through the hollow patterns.
Quan Jiu sneered disdainfully.
atrocious.
The original owner could not bear these four words, but she could.
Shen Lang happened to catch the disdainful sneer on her lips, and his dark eyes deepened slightly.
"Sir, we are coming in."
The butler raised his hand and the thugs entered.
Seeing the hanging veil, everyone lowered their heads tacitly, not looking at the erotic scene on the bed.
Quan Jiu crawled into the quilt, with only half of his head exposed. Directly opposite his face was Shen Lang's strong and broad chest.
After searching for a while, the thugs didn't find anyone and made a "no one" gesture to the housekeeper.
The butler narrowed his triangular eyes. They had set up a tight net along the way. If Meng Changxi really hid in a guest room, the most likely place would be this box.
He stared at the two people on the bed, his eyes thoughtful:
"Sir, for your safety, please lift the curtain and let me take a closer look."
He took a step forward and raised his hand to lift the gauze curtain.
The curtain was lifted, revealing a man and a woman.
