The person who placed the poison rouge on the Myriad Herbs Pavilion was extremely crafty, so the person who delivered the goods would be different each time. It caused her to suffer such a huge loss, yet she could not find the person to do it.

Now that she suddenly knew that the Hua Kui wife of the Changle Workshop was related to this matter, even if she wasted even more time, it would also be a chance for her to hide from him once more.

"Qingning..."

When Xu Ran called her, there was no one by the door.

An Yi waited for Qingning to leave with great difficulty before she pulled on his sleeve and said, "Where Xu Ran is going, I want to go too!"

"Princess's precious body is not suitable for such a dangerous place!"

Xu Ran was in no mood to chat with her. He walked out of the study and chased after Qingning with a dozen or so yamen runners.

If there was really something wrong with Jin Yaoyao, I'm afraid she …

The constables looked at each other in dismay. They could only sense that their master, the Yongan Command, was still unhurried before Mount Tai collapsed. With flying speed, he rushed towards the Changle Workshop's direction.

Night descended, and they once again entered Xunhuan Alley, the extravagant scene of a drunken light riddle.

This was not the first time she came to Changle Workshop, so she was familiar with the route to enter.

The two youths guarding the door immediately stopped her. "Miss, look clearly, this is Changle Workshop, not Gouge Court!"

"Who's the young lady that can't stand being lonely? She actually ran into the Changle Workshop to find a man. How about this grandpa …"

Qingning's phoenix eyes were frosted over as she swiftly reached out and tapped on the acupuncture points on his back. The man fell towards the gatekeeper and the other one hurriedly reached out to support him.

She laughed disdainfully as she entered the Changle Workshop in a flash.

The chaos of that day had long since disappeared, and the song of Qu Le Sheng was endless. It was still the gold selling vault that Young Master Wang Sun was the most willing to spend on money.

It was still early, but Jin Yaoyao, the number one participant, had not appeared yet.

Qingning walked sideways through the blind area behind the pillar as he was struggling to find the room of the Courtesan Belle.

The old procuress ordered the little maid to bring this over to Miss Yaoyao. This is what she wants to use when she takes a bath!

It really was like stepping on broken iron shoes, finding a place without any effort at all.

She came out from behind the pillar and followed the maid around a bend.

Not long after, Jin Yaoyao, who was on the third floor, was dancing in the wind. The night was getting darker, and the lights were swaying all around her.

The person upstairs did not seem to be affected in the slightest. It was not like the beautiful scene on the string stage when people were drooling over it. Every time he swung his sleeves, it looked a bit desolate.

Qingning walked up the stairs, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

Xu Ran stood behind him and said with a gentle and slightly worried tone, "Since she has a problem, it's best for her to be careful!"

"En!" Qingning nodded and continued going upstairs.

Jin Yaoyao seemed to be the only person who lived in this building. The third floor was ventilated, and Moon Viewing Song Poems and Windy's memories were all good places to go.

Only the eaves covered the rain, the surrounding pink gauze flew, with a slightly seductive beauty fragrance.

When Qingning stepped onto the peak, Jin Yaoyao who was still flying and dancing suddenly stopped, and revealed an unspeakable smile to her.

It seemed that he had expected her to appear here, and there was an indescribable sense of danger.

Her heart chilled. She felt that her feet had lightened, and before she had time to think about anything else, Qingning suddenly pushed Xu Ran, who was behind her, outwards.

As soon as he raised his head, the eaves of the sculptures fell down, but it was already too late for him to do anything.

A curtain of darkness engulfed the sky and earth, the only thing that remained in his ears was Xu Ran's hoarse voice: "Qingning!"

"Rong …" In Prince Rong, an embroidery building in the Changle Workshop had collapsed. Second Miss Lu is also inside! "

The person trembled in fear as he stood in front of the Flowing Flower Pavilion. It wasn't easy for him to explain what he was going to say.

Afterwards, everyone in the pavilion, including the Shadow Guard who had followed Master for many years, felt their bodies fall into an ice-cold state.

Prince Rong, who had always been indifferent before Mt. Tai's collapse, suddenly stopped. The cup in his hand swayed slightly, and scalding tea splattered onto the back of his hand. However, he did not feel the slightest pain.

It was as if a place in his heart had suddenly turned upside down and silently swept over.

He could clearly feel the change in the person beside him, causing Young Marquis's expression to turn cold: "What did you say? Say it again!"

The profound shadow beside him flew past him, and in a short while, it had already headed towards that direction, disappearing into the dark, heavy moonlight.

"prince!"

Qin Muxu and the rest of the Shadow Guard were shocked. When had they ever seen him like this?

Inside the Changle Workshop, the huge embroidery building collapsed with a bang. Many of the surrounding walls and roof beams crumbled down, and quite a number of wealthy young masters were pressing down on them.

This was a place that should have been filled with music and dances a long time ago, but now it was filled with the desolate feeling of having survived a disaster.

The old procuress collapsed in front of the ruins as she wailed. Not only was the collapse of the building no longer able to suppress Jin Yaoyao, but many of her illustrious young masters had all lost their lives here.

The lord of the Yongan who had always been praised by the common folk for his gentle actions since he took office was currently kneeling in front of the ruins with red eyes, continuously digging, and repeating the word Qingning over and over again.

Even though his hands were covered in blood, he didn't feel anything. He just kept digging.

"Lord …" "We've already begun digging, you …" After digging for a while, the yamen runner couldn't help but want to dissuade them.

Everything happened too suddenly, many of the young masters below who were watching Jin Yaoyao practice were in trouble for no reason, they followed behind Xu Ran, and were only two steps too slow.

Suddenly, they saw their master's Yongan being pushed out. At that time, before everyone could react, they heard a loud noise.

In the blink of an eye, the pavilion was reduced to a pile of ruins and the beautiful woman became the bones beneath the house.

Ye Zichen sighed as he stood far away from the girl. A friend who was drinking with a lady just now had truly become a ghost who would die under a peony flower just because of a joke.

When Qin Huo arrived at the scene, he saw a large amount of grief and pain.

"Prince Rong... Greetings, Prince Rong! "

Upon seeing Prince Rong suddenly appear, everyone's faces turned ice-cold. Their bodies trembled as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Qin Huo looked at the scene in front of him coldly and spoke without emotion, "No matter what method we use, we will pry open their mouths in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

The Shadow Guard followed closely behind, and more than half of them submerged into the ruins. The remaining ten or so people had cold glints in their hands, and moved closer to the Changle Workshop ladies who were crying on the ground like bawls.

His decision was very sudden. The faces of those who were slightly injured but didn't have time to leave paled and they quickly backed away.

The young girls, who had been weeping in front of the ruins, suddenly moved. They immediately used the long-sleeved soft Ling Luo as a weapon to fight against the Shadow Guard.

There were people fleeing everywhere, and the old procuress was scared out of her wits.

In just a short moment, the swords pressed down on their necks, the young ladies' defeat was already decided. They all looked at each other and revealed an abnormally resolute will to die.

Even though the Shadow Guard were extremely quick to react, most of the black blood still flowed down from the corner of their mouths as they used their hands to pry open their mouths.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the dozen of girls had fallen, leaving only three people who were held captive by the Shadow Guard and unable to move.

Qin Muxu retracted his elegant fan and lifted up one of their jaws.

He said coolly, "Wanting to die is simple. The only thing to fear is that those who cannot live on will have to live on!"

This action seemed frivolous, but it did not have the slightest warmth to it.

Qin Huo stood with his hands behind his back, and said with a slightly frosty face: "You're not saying? "Alright then!"

The young girl's face paled. Everyone knew that being in the hands of the Prince Rong, being able to die so easily was a fortunate thing.

"I heard that the strange Fu Liu has numerous beauties under his hands. Do you think he would pity you people who sent themselves to their deaths?"

The faces of the remaining three girls changed, the answer was already very clear.

Qin Huo waved his hand and the Shadow Guard sword moved. A few girls' blood stained their clothes, and the moment they fell to the ground, their eyes were filled with shock.

"Fu Liu! "Seal off the city gates, and if anyone dares to barge in, kill them!"

Under his sleeves, veins could be seen on his palms. It had been so many years since there had been such a bloodthirsty killing intent.

Looking at the corpses that were being carried out by the Shadow Guard, all of them were badly mutilated, and their faces could no longer be distinguished.

There were a total of seventeen or eighteen of them. The man's bones were tall and easy to recognize, and the other four were women. They were all of similar stature and build.

Xu Ran stood up shakily, he walked forward and recognized them, one by one, he wiped off the blood on their faces, and even though the girls' faces were covered in blood, the yamen runners by the side felt nauseous.

He wiped them one by one. His hands kept shaking, but his movements were very gentle and meticulous. He was afraid that he would hurt that man in the slightest.

Qin Huo suddenly confirmed, "She's not dead!"

Without waiting for the startled Xu Ran to react, he heard the Shadow Guard who was searching through the ruins whisper in his ear: "Master, we discovered a secret passage!"

When Qin Huo heard this, his dark eyes brightened as he strode forward and jumped into the ruins of a secret passage.

A group of Shadow Guard came and quickly disappeared without a trace, and very quickly disappeared within the Changle Workshop.

Qin Muxu looked at the Yongan Token that was kneeling on the ground, still unwillingly wiping the woman's face. He could not help but shake his head and sigh.
