Prostitution

The fire was raging, and there was a lot of noise in a corner of the palace.

"My lord, the kitchen is on fire!"

The servants came to report in a hurry.

Yuan Cheng was startled, quickly put on his clothes and opened the door, "What's going on?"

"Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, he was helping in the kitchen, but accidentally..."

"Talk about it on the way." Yuan Cheng hurried to the kitchen yard.

Look at the chief culprit, Mr. Wen, standing in the open space outside the yard with a disgraced face, twisting his wet clothes with both hands.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned his head, smiled nervously and embarrassedly, "My lord."

"I'll settle the bill with you later, and go back to my room."

Yuan Cheng threw him a word, and led Lian Qi to disappear into the bustling crowd.

The kitchen is an independent house, and the fire is getting weaker, so it cannot involve other yards.

But there is a very narrow and secret path leading to the underground chamber.After Qi Mingxiu took it back to the palace, he has been taken care of by two humble dumb women and uncles in the palace. The area around the back kitchen is the most deserted place in the palace. This path is extremely hidden. If you don't deliberately search for the key, it will be difficult for people to find it.

Was the fire accident really accidental?A critical thought flashed through Yuan Cheng's mind. For safety reasons, he has never lived in the inner house to sleep in private. This is the most important place in the palace and the underground secret room, so he couldn't help but think so.

Yuan Cheng avoided the crowd and groped along the grass path to the entrance of the secret room.

The hidden door of the secret room was opened, and the oil lamp was dim. He walked into the secret passage and went down the stone steps. At the corner, he saw the dumb woman fainted on the ground.

"Mingxiu!" Yuan Cheng called urgently.

"Yuan Cheng?" Qi Mingxiu's trembling voice came from the depths of the secret room.

Yuan Cheng was walking in, when he suddenly saw a piece of silk cloth protruding from the crack of the wall, he pulled it out to open it, and was stunned immediately, it turned out to be a complete blood edict!

"Yuancheng!" Qi Mingxiu threw himself into his arms.

Seeing that he was fine, Yuan Cheng felt relieved, and asked, "Did someone break in?"

Qi Mingxiu's eyes were watery, "Well... that man ran out as soon as he saw me, and I couldn't catch up."

"See what that man looks like?"

"I can't see the face clearly, but I'm wearing a guard uniform."

Yuan Cheng's eyes froze, he didn't care about comforting others, and quickly asked Qi Mingxiu to leave the secret room and take refuge in the dormitory on the ground floor.

"Seal the gates of the mansion and no one can come in or out, call all the guards in the mansion."

Yuan Cheng gave orders to Lian Qi beside him.

After a while, guards gathered in the open space.

Yuan Cheng glanced around roughly, the night was chilling, and he ordered sharply, "Immediately find out who is not on the list."

The guards looked at each other, and someone said, "My lord, Liu Hui is not here."

Lian Qi explained in a low voice, "Liu Hui is in charge of guarding the kitchen."

Suddenly the clouds parted, and Yuexia Yuancheng's eyes suddenly became fierce.

The master and servant who came back in a panic, Wu Qu seemed to have not recovered from the fire, and Wen Qu didn't bury the master anymore, the three of them walked silently.

Wu Qu suddenly stopped, the fire in his eyes was about to come out, and he gestured bitterly at Wen Wuyu.

"What do you remember?" Wen Qu asked.

The corner of Wen Wuyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he walked faster, "No need to say more, I already know that we are still in the palace, and we have to do what we need to do."

"What are you talking about?" Wen Qu didn't understand.

Going all the way back to the wing room Wenqu didn't get half a word answer.

As soon as Wen Wuyu took out his clean clothes, he heard the courtyard door opening and closing, a man dressed as a guard rushed into his room in a hurry and locked the door dead.

"You..." Wen Wuyu couldn't help being surprised.

The guard raised his hand to touch his face, tore off a piece of skin, his face was pale and his forehead was sweating, "There is only one young man in that place, there is no old couple you mentioned, and there are so many traps, I almost couldn't get out."

Wen Wuyu murmured in disbelief, "No, why not?"

The visitor drank two cups of tea and panted, "I don't know who you are looking for. I have been lurking in the palace for the past six months. I have done my best. It is definitely worth 10 taels of yours. But now that the palace is on guard, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. .”

Wen Wuyu glanced at him, "Then what do you do?"

The visitor laughed viciously, and took out a dagger out of nowhere, "Originally you pay me to do things, and we don't owe each other, but I didn't expect to be discovered so soon, I can only borrow your life to use it, if you die I'll take the money, but if I die, I'll take half of it."

After all, the blade is better than Wen Wuyu's neck.

At this time, there were footsteps outside the courtyard, Wen Wuyu felt frustrated, and he didn't want to look aside. This was the only way to be held hostage by De He Pingzhang. If this person was caught, he would lose all his previous efforts.

"Mr. Wen, I will search for the assassin under the order of the prince." The guards knocked on the door repeatedly.

Suddenly a mahogany chair broke through the door, and the door panel was torn apart in an instant. The guards scattered on both sides and confronted each other with swords.

"Get out of the way, otherwise you will hurt Mr. Wen, and it will be difficult to explain to your prince."

As he spoke, the blade approached Wen Wuyu's neck, drawing a bloodstain.

The guards neither dared to step forward nor give way. Seeing that the assassin really attacked, they could only back away.

Wen Qugan stomped impatiently beside him and yelled, "Master, master, who are you? My master has no grudge against you, why arrest him! I want to arrest you and arrest me!"

The assassin was vigilant at every step, and when he heard the words, he glanced sideways at Wen Qu, and pushed the blade upwards, Wen Wuyu was forced to raise his head back, Wen Qu had no choice but to shut up and dare not shout.

After leaving the wing, the assassin grabbed Wen Wuyu's wrist and ran towards the side door of the palace.

On the way, he met guards again, who surrounded the two of them heavily.

Yuan Cheng appeared, looked at the assassin coldly, and went over to Qi Fuer, "It's He Pingzhang."

Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows and laughed silently for a moment, never expecting that He Pingzhang, who had been wanted for half a year, was actually hiding in his mansion.

Good job!

Wen Wuyu blinked his eyelids violently, unable to look like he was in a state of panic, but swallowed his saliva cautiously.The skin was rubbed with the blade, and thin bloodstains were drawn.

With hostages in hand, He Pingzhang was fearless, "Whoever dares to act rashly, I don't mind pulling back."

The prince didn't open his mouth, no one dared to relax, and the handle of the knife was tightly gripped.

As time goes by, the moon is half-circle, disappearing and appearing.

Yuan Cheng stared at the two with a blank expression on his face. He was weighing whether this Mr. Wen was enough to make him take the risk and let go of the top-secret spy.

He Pingzhang also seemed to understand, he grabbed Wen Wuyu's shoulder with one hand, turned and lifted it, and broke his arm.

Wen Wuyu groaned a few times in pain, then gritted his teeth to hold back, sweating desperately on his forehead and temples.

The guards remained unmoved, waiting for the prince's order.

Wen Qu couldn't bear it, and looked at the prince and begged him to show mercy and save the master, but the prince didn't seem to receive his prayer, and his eyes were calm.

Asking for others is better than asking for oneself, Wen Qu was extremely disappointed, gritted his teeth cruelly, "I will fight with you!"

Wu Qu only grabbed a corner of his clothes, and saw Wen Qu rushing towards He Pingzhang like an arrow off the string.

"Idiot, don't come here!" Wen Wuyu yelled.

He Pingzhang takes money to do things, and there is no human relationship to talk about with each other, so it is not a problem to kill him if he is pushed into a hurry.

Unexpectedly, He Pingzhang was the one who showed great kindness, but he just raised his foot and kicked Wenqu flying, and fell about ten feet away.

And the next moment, he gathered energy in his palm and struck out suddenly, immediately blood sprayed from Wen Wuyu's mouth, this palm broke three ribs on his back.

At this moment, there was a trace of emotion on Yuan Cheng's face, his eyes dimmed, "Let him go."

The guard lowered his knife, and stepped back in small steps.The posture is alert, ready to rush forward at any time.

Wen Wuyu was on the verge of fainting, his sanity gradually lost, his footsteps were already in a state of half-slip, and he was unable to cooperate with He Pingzhang to retreat.

If it goes on like this, it will become a burden.

When approaching the side door, He Pingzhang whispered in his ear, "I offended you."

Wen Wuyu was in a trance and couldn't hear clearly, only felt that his body seemed to be floating in the air.

The first quarter moon was so bright that it slowly turned into the prince's face.
