Putting aside Qin Rushuang's emotional hatred for Xie Xun, Qin Rushuang had to admit that Xie Xun was indeed a very responsible and good prince who loved the people.
"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, how about we go to the brothel to investigate tonight?" Qin Rushuang suggested.
"No!" Xie Xun refused without thinking.
"You've been out for a long time and you haven't had your dinner yet. Besides, how can you, a woman, enter a place like a brothel?"
Qin Rushuang was stunned. She was so busy that she forgot that she hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Just as he was about to suggest finding a place to eat some, Xie Xun said, "Ying Er, bring over the food box."
Ying Er, who was in the dark, immediately came over carrying two large baskets.
"Princess, let's just use some at the Yamen. These meals were made by the prince when he just came out of the cloth workshop and asked the cook to hurry up. They are still hot."
Since everything was ready, Qin Rushuang did not refuse.
A place was cleared and a few people sat down and had dinner together.
While she was just eating, Qin Rushuang suddenly felt that Xie Xun's eyes were constantly looking towards her.
Just once or twice, Xie Xun has been looking at her from the beginning of the meal to now.
Qin Rushuang finally couldn't help but put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"I want to ask you, do these meals taste good?"
After listening to Xie Xun's words, Qin Rushuang realized belatedly that today's dishes seemed to be the ones she usually likes to eat.
And I don't know if it was Qin Rushuang's misunderstanding, but I always felt that when Xie Xun asked her, there was a hint of caution in his tone, and a bit...expectation.
Qin Rushuang was silent and took a few more mouthfuls of vegetables. In Xie Xun's eyes, which were filled with desire, she said, "It's delicious."
Xie Xun covered up the faint smile on his lips and glanced at Ying Er appreciatively.
Ying Er suddenly beamed, knowing that this month's monthly payment was stable.
After eating and drinking, Qin Rushuang was worried about the case, so she discussed with Xie Xun again, "Your Majesty, let's go to the brothel to investigate while it's dark."
Xie Xun pulled his face down and said the same words as before, "No, the brothel is a smoky place with a mixture of fish and dragons. I will go there myself."
Qin Rushuang was a little anxious: "Why can the prince go but I can't?"
"Because I am a man and you are a woman."
"My lord, what you mean is that men can go in to look for flowers and flowers, but I can't go in to broaden my horizons?!"
"Cough cough cough!" Xie Xun was drinking tea at that time, and was so shocked by Qin Rushuang's words that he choked.
He hurriedly defended: "I am not here to attract bees and butterflies, I am just here to investigate for clues."
"I don't believe it! Unless the prince also takes me there."
Qin Rushuang's temper got worse, and she was a little reluctant. She had to go to the brothel today to see something.
Xie Xun was also anxious. He really didn't want to bring Qin Rushuang in, so he said, "Let's do this. You wait at the door while I go in to find out the news. Come back as soon as you go."
Qin Rushuang was still dissatisfied with the result and whispered: "What's so great about it? It's not like I haven't been there before."
Little did he know that these words had already been heard by Xie Xun, who had an extraordinary ear.
"What did you say? Have you been there?"
Xie Xun was really angry now. How could Qin Rushuang go to that kind of place?
He asked with a stern face: "When did you go? Who did you go with? Did Shen Xiaoyang take you in? I know he is unreliable!"
Qin Rushuang glanced at him and said, "Don't blame Shen Xiaoyang for any bad things. I did it myself."
Seeing that Xie Xun's face still looked bad, Qin Rushuang added, "Me and Wan'er."
"That's even worse! If Shen Xiaoyang is with you, he can at least protect you. What if something happens to the home of you and Wan'er? You are not allowed to go there again!"
Qin Rushuang wanted to say that with her martial arts skills, how could anyone defeat her?
But seeing that Xie Xun was really angry, he didn't say anything more.
She said angrily: "Anyway, I've been there before. I've been there once and twice. What's the difference?"
Xie Xun rarely saw Qin Rushuang being so willful. While he had a headache, he also felt that she was inexplicably cute, so he could only lose the battle.
"Yes. But you have to disguise yourself."
He didn't want Qin Rushuang's appearance to be seen by those promiscuous men in the brothel.
Qin Rushuang frowned slightly. No matter how good the master was, his face would feel uncomfortable after the disguise. She wanted to refuse.
However, Xie Xun had already guessed what she was thinking, and added, "If it's not easy, I'll go by myself."
Thinking that there are people from all walks of life in the brothel, Xie Xun's idea is not incomprehensible, so Qin Rushuang nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Then she said as if she had thought of something, "Then the prince will also have to disguise himself!"
Why can't her face be seen by men, but Xie Xun's face can be seen by women in brothels?
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Xie Xun's face flashed with a smile, "I am also disguised."
Is Qin Rushuang... jealous?
The two of them had their own thoughts, and Ying Er quickly found a disguise master to dress them up carefully.
Since she wanted to disguise herself, Qin Rushuang simply asked her master to disguise herself as a man and put on a man's attire.
Her appearance has a hint of heroism in her beauty, so it is not troublesome to disguise herself.
Moreover, her belly was not obvious. After putting on men's clothes, Qin Rushuang looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied.
As for Xie Xun, since he only needed to disguise his face, he had it done in advance and was waiting for Qin Rushuang outside.
The door slowly opened, and Qin Rushuang came out after disguise.
Xie Xun took one look and immediately frowned.
The old master in disguise thought that the prince was dissatisfied with his appearance, so he quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the old man's disguise? Is it not good enough?"
Xie Xun still frowned, but said: "No, you go down first."
It's not that he thinks the old master's disguise is not good, but that there is something...
Too good.
Even though he knew that Qin Rushuang had an extraordinary appearance, Xie Xun was still stunned for a moment when he saw her disguised as a man.
I don't know if it's because Qin Rushuang has a heroic appearance and a free and easy personality. At this time, her face was adjusted by the disguise master to be more heroic. A pair of sword eyebrows flew into the temples, giving her a bit of aura.
She has a neat figure. After putting on men's clothes, Qin Rushuang is taller than ordinary women and has a jade-like face. She looks like a young master out for fun.
This appearance, coupled with this figure...
Xie Xun sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't know how many women would be haunted by this visit to a brothel...
