The liveliness of the Lotus Lantern Festival was famous in the Zhou Dynasty.
That night, the curfew was postponed, and the noble ladies of each family no longer avoided the taboo of guarding men and women, and could sit at the same table and raise glasses to drink together.
Everyone will pick a beautiful lotus lantern in the market, put good wishes in the stamens, and let the small lotus lantern float with the water.
Ling Yutong randomly bought a lotus lantern on the street and walked forward, seemingly admiring it, but actually observing it.
Everyone passing by held a lamp in their hand, and in the bustle, they all walked towards the east end of the capital, which was the busiest place.
She guessed from her expression that the relationship between Yu Nanxun and Zhou Luoyu was kept secret, and not many people knew about it.
On the surface, one of them is a bold and reckless prince, and the other is a little transparent eldest son who doesn't pay attention. If they want to contact...
I will never deliberately avoid crowds!
Because, even if they are aboveboard, no one will give them a second glance.
Thinking of this, Ling Yutong quickened her pace and hurried towards the east. If this was the case, she couldn't wait any longer.
The doubts that had been lingering in her heart turned into intuition. She felt that if she allowed Yu Nanxun and Zhou Luoyu to come into contact, she would encounter dangers that were difficult to deal with if she kidnapped them again!
Although the people in Andu looked down upon Yu Nanxun, as a store, even if it was not about confidentiality, it should still be fair.
Maybe now the people in Andu have re-sold what they told her to Yu Nanxun!
And make a lot of money for free.
Ling Yutong gritted his teeth.
It was obvious that they took the initiative to tell her the information, but now she was asked to passively bear the risks that she knew about. In the end, it was just a store with a biased will, not taking any risks, and the money was flowing into the account.
Dog Merchant!
treacherous!
She suppressed the anger in her eyes, and with a sullen face, she went to the building at the east end to squat as quickly as possible.
As the music started to sing, the wooden door on the second floor creaked open, revealing a pink curtain that was gently swaying inside. Looking through the crack in the door, a charming woman's back was looming.
The whispering sound of the pipa became the best music, adding an alluring color to everything in front of me.
Downstairs, countless young men looked at the second floor infatuatedly, with their chins tilted upward and the tips of their noses rising and falling, as if they could smell the fragrance floating down from upstairs.
Ling Yutong's eyes were fixed on Zhou Luoyu.
At this time, Zhou Luoyu was very different from the image she had sketched in the past.
He was dressed in splendid clothes, and his facial features lay quietly on his face. When he was not acting evil at all, he looked like a beautiful concubine.
It's the kind of face that, apart from being handsome, is not offensive at all.
The sound of the pipa on the second floor was changing, and the faces of the young men downstairs became visibly fanatical.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ling Yutong's eyebrows.
There was a gasping sound coming from the side.
"Miss Zhiyan is coming out!"
The sound of the pipa became more and more intense, trying to make the most enthusiastic greeting. Ling Yutong turned his eyes and saw the well-repressed fanaticism in Zhou Luoyu's eyes. He had one hand behind his back and a tense expression on his face, which made him stand out among a group of fanatical young men.
.
Pack garlic.
Ling Yutong lowered his eyes with mockery in his eyes.
She knew what Zhou Luoyu was going to do today. Even if a biting dog could pretend, it would be pretentious. Zhou Luoyu's rank was far inferior to that of his mother and concubine.
Dongtou is also called Dongdu, and Dongtou is the folk name.
Miss Zhiyan is the most famous Dongdu oiran in the capital. There is a high-rise building in the east end of the city, and the nobles gave her a place to live on the second floor. In addition, there are also various women who can play musical instruments gathered in the east end.
The most important thing is that the women in Dongtou are different from the women in brothels. They are from good backgrounds, make a living by their arts, and are not despicable when accompanying noble people. They are elegant and attached to the literati.
The door opened, and the peach-pink red silk fell down little by little.
Under the stars and the moon, Miss Zhiyan appeared in everyone's sight, casting a charming glance, charming but not vulgar.
When everyone around him was attracted by the people on the stage, Ling Yutong saw Yu Nanxun sharply. His body was swaying left and right, as if he was unable to stand due to the crowd, and he was about to fall towards where Zhou Luoyu was.
.
Her eyes were sharp, her sleeves shook, she grabbed something, and she made a quick decision and ran over.
Isn't it just using the crowd to cover up? She also has Qi Yan to help her!
The commotion in the crowd obviously became more intense with the appearance of Miss Zhiyan. Among them, only three people remained absolutely calm.
The soft female voice was so charming that it could make water drop. It was Miss Zhiyan who spoke.
"Today, I would like to ask the second prince to give me some advice~"
At that moment, Zhou Luoyu's eyes ignited with fierce flames, and there was a proud smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. His disguised gentlemanly demeanor could no longer hold up, and he strode forward to greet Zhiyan who was coming down.
Yu Nanxun's pupils shrank.
Just a little bit closer!
An irritated and cruel look flashed in his eyes, this wasted prince only had beauty in his eyes!
He had known that Miss Zhiyan would choose Zhou Luoyu, and he had also calculated how long it would take to squeeze in from the young masters to the other person. However, just a second before he handed over the information, Zhou Luoyu left his place!
He could only watch Zhou Luoyu walk downstairs, gritting his teeth in anger.
I wanted to use Zhou Luoyu's hand to get rid of Ling Yutong.
Now, the message cannot be delivered.
The moment his shoulders relaxed, Ling Yutong struck sharply!
Everyone was attracted by the girl Zhiyan who came downstairs, and Qi Yan blocked her with her broad back. Ling Yutong's Yu Nanxun was dragged away by her without even struggling.
She glanced back.
Qi Yan nodded to her, indicating that he was behind her.
She stopped staying, exchanged glances with the people in the crowd arranged by Qi Yan, and left mixed in the crowd.
but……
I don't know if it was her imagination, but when she looked back to confirm the situation, Miss Zhiyan seemed to look in her direction with a smile.
The lotus lantern she bought casually had been discarded by her long ago. They walked on a small road and soon arrived at a concierge that did not burn lanterns.
The tall men who were helping stood guard on the left and right without saying a word. After Ling Yutong confirmed that Yu Nanxun would not wake up within half a quarter of an hour, he started his plan.
A sharp question came out of her mouth: "Three years ago, when the Qi family distributed pensions to the affected people, did you have any involvement in it?"
Inside the room, Lu He opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes turned red instantly.
Following Ling Yutong, a voice sounded... a voice that was extremely familiar to her.
Yu Nanxun.
"You can't slander someone without evidence. How do you know that that person is me?"
Lu He's expression full of hatred suddenly cracked.
She had been avoiding thinking in this direction, but she didn't expect that in the end she would become a butcher's knife in the hands of a noble man.
Her hatred, the spiritual pillar on which she relied for survival, had approached her with purpose from the beginning, and all she had done was to follow the route prescribed by the other party, step by step, burning her emotions, until the end...
...gave his life.
She was so angry that Song Yue could hardly hold her back.
Lu He's eyes were so red that she rushed out like crazy. No matter what, she wanted to ask clearly why.
The hatred did not arise out of nothing, and she would never forget her sister's appearance before she died.
Songyue was thrown to the ground by her, her eyes flashed, and she watched her furiously rushing out.
The sound of rapid footsteps was filled with rage that was burning to the extreme. Ling Yutong looked back and stopped the sharp questions in his mouth.
Lu He suddenly froze in place.
Because the person standing opposite Ling Yutong was not Yu Nanxun.
The anger in her heart was forcibly stopped at this moment, and her eyes looked at the person in front of her almost blankly.
