"Hehe~ Even if the Third Prince came, he would have to kneel down and kowtow to me, do you believe that?" Ji Jiuying laughed instead of getting angry, "Yingyue, go."
As Yingyue and Xiaoting were about to go upstairs, some guards, alerted by the madam's expression, quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Hmph, arrogant!" the madam sneered.
The moment she finished speaking, a cold hand touched her neck, startling her so much that she froze. "Quickly, tell me, where is Qingling?"
"Hiss~ Don't you guys think those people look familiar? Especially that woman in black."
Now that you mention it, it does look somewhat familiar to me.
“I remember now, the one in the black dress looks a bit like Princess Anping, the one in the blue dress seems to be the second young lady of the Wen family, one of the three great families, and the one next to her seems to be Prince Zhen. As for that tall man, I don’t know, he might be the princess’s shadow guard.”
"Yes, yes, it's the princess. She's had too much wine and her eyes are blurry."
"Does this mean the princess is looking for someone?"
"It seems so. Didn't you see the portrait in the second young lady of the Wen family's hand?"
"This Hundred Flowers Pavilion dares to accept the princess's people; I think they've kicked a hornet's nest."
"That's right. Didn't you hear the princess say that even if the Third Prince came, he would have to kowtow to her when the madam brought up the Third Prince?"
"·····"
There was a lot of discussion in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. The madam never expected that even after she brought up the Third Prince, this woman would still dare to threaten her.
What she didn't expect was that the woman behind her was Princess Anping. The madam had no choice but to confess honestly, "I...I said, it's in the first room on the third floor."
With a knife pressed against her neck, she dared not risk her life for those two hundred spirit stones.
Upon hearing this, Yingyue leaped up and kicked the door open.
A loud bang startled the lecherous old man inside who was undressing. "Who goes there? How dare you ruin my good time! Believe me or not, I'll..."
Before the lewd man could finish speaking, he looked down in disbelief at the long sword piercing his abdomen.
"My tongue is dry." Yingyue sheathed her longsword.
When Qingling on the bed saw the person who came, she was so excited that she burst into tears. She knew it, she knew it, that her mistress would come to save her. But she couldn't speak or move her body.
Yingyue noticed that Qingling was acting strangely. She was about to pick her up, but then realized that it was not appropriate, so she found a blanket nearby.
Thinking about how thin her clothes were, Qingling blushed bright red.
"Miss Qingling, my apologies!" After saying that, he wrapped Qingling in the blankets and then picked her up.
Yingyue carried Qingling to Ji Jiuying's side and said a few words.
Ji Jiuying was instantly enraged, and pressed the dagger against the madam's neck even closer, scaring the madam so much that she trembled uncontrollably, and a bright red stain appeared on her neck.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
A group of people looked at the madam with concern.
How dare you!
"You dare to make her solicit customers? You're asking for it!"
"No, no, no... Princess... Princess, I'm innocent, I'm innocent! It was the person who sold her who told me to do this. I... I didn't know she was the princess's person. Otherwise, even if you gave me ten lives, I... I wouldn't dare!" The madam was truly panicked now, so frightened that she could barely speak.
"What's the story behind Qingling's injuries and medicine? Tell me the truth."
"Princess...Princess, this...this has nothing to do with me. She was already like this when she was brought here!" The madam was filled with regret. If only she hadn't been greedy for those two hundred spirit stones!
"Who sold her? What did they tell you?" Ji Jiuying asked coldly.
"They were two maids, and they seemed to be from a wealthy family. They said... they even said they would arrange for her to entertain guests immediately. At first, I saw that she was covered in injuries, so I thought I would wait until she recovered. But then the two maids said they would even give me two hundred spirit stones, and that she was a virgin..."
After hearing this, Ji Jiuying still had something she didn't understand.
Ji Jiuying suppressed her anger and used one hand to check on her. She found that she was covered in injuries and had been given musculoskeletal powder as well as two other unknown drugs. Ji Jiuying's face darkened again.
"Arrange a clean room for me immediately," Ji Jiuying said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Um... Princess, could you please remove the knife from your neck first?" the madam said cautiously, her tone completely devoid of its previous arrogance.
Ji Jiuying snorted coldly and sheathed her dagger.
Led by the madam, they arrived at a clean room in the backyard of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
"Qingling, I'm sorry, I'm late and made you suffer like this." Ji Jiuying looked at Qingling, who was covered in injuries, with heartache in her eyes. She quickly fed her a few pills and a large cup of spiritual spring water.
Qingling's wounds healed quickly, but she still couldn't speak.
Qingling's eyes welled with tears, and she shook her head.
"Qingling, don't worry, those who hurt you will definitely die a terrible death," Wen Longting comforted her.
Ji Jiuying felt Qingling's pulse and frowned slightly. No wonder Qingling couldn't use the communication butterfly; the other party had obviously expected it.
So her spiritual power was sealed while she was unconscious.
As for why Qingling can't speak, it's because she's been cursed with a voice-breaking curse. If it's not removed within three days, the person cursed will become mute forever.
That's so insidious!
"Xiaoting, could you please help Qingling change her clothes?" Ji Jiuying said, then took out her alchemy furnace and began refining medicine.
Wen Longting carefully helped Qingling take off her clothes and change into new dresses.
Half a quarter of an hour.
Ji Jiuying also successfully refined the antidote.
After feeding Qingling, he quickly protected her. Not long after, Qingling suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood.
"Qingling, how are you feeling?" Ji Jiuying asked worriedly. She was just a little girl who had been sold here and almost... She was really afraid that Qingling would do something rash.
"Miss~ Waaaaaah~ You scared me to death! I almost! I almost~" Qingling cried as she hugged Ji Jiuying.
Thinking back to what had just happened, she didn't even have the strength to commit suicide. Luckily, Yingyue arrived quickly, otherwise she would have no face to live.
"It's alright, it's alright!" Ji Jiuying patted her back.
"Qingling, do you remember who abducted you?" Wen Longting asked.
Qingling thought back for a moment. She had been blindfolded and taken away, but the voice of the leader sounded familiar. After thinking carefully, Qingling suddenly realized, "I remember now, the voice of the leader sounds like Mo Yunran, whom I saw at the palace banquet."
Mo Yunran? Hehehe!
They had tried to assassinate her time and time again, and now they were even targeting the people around her. She truly regretted it, regretted letting her go time and time again. A cold glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes.
As soon as I came out of the room, Fatty Zhen surrounded me, asking, "How is Qingling?"
"Fortunately, we arrived in time and there's nothing serious." After Ji Jiuying finished speaking, Wen Longting also pulled Qingling out.
When Qingling came out and saw Yingyue standing to the side, her face immediately turned as red as a liver color.
