"Ling …" "Ling Tian Qing …" Extruding her name from his throat, Ling Zhi felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife as he spat out a mouthful of blood. In the blink of an eye, a red blood lotus bloomed on the white jade floor.

White Robe had been guarding outside the whole time. When he heard the unusual noise coming from inside, he lifted the curtain and saw Ling Jin half-kneeling on the floor, a large amount of blood stains on the floor tiles.

This time, his blood attacked his heart. After coughing out five to six mouthfuls of blood, Ling Xiang's vision darkened as he fell forward.

"Someone, send a message to the imperial physician!" Bai Yixue hurriedly supported Ling Zui as he regretted that Green Shadow was not by his side right now.

If the eight guards were all in the palace, it wouldn't be so easy for the little queen to escape …

When they met on the harmonious street, a youth with a sallow complexion was looking left and right.

Fortunately, Ling Tian Qing had brought his Hundred Treasures Sack with him, with everything inside. He also had the capital to do business here.

However, she did not dare to leave the city. When she saw the soldiers and imperial guards, she would hide far away, afraid of being caught and taken back.

It had already been a day and everything seemed normal. Ling Xuanxuan had not openly searched everywhere, and she had also used modern makeup techniques to disguise herself as a sickly, unremarkable young man.

No one would care about such a thin, half-grown child.

However, when such a young boy sneaked into the back door of the Yi-Hong courtyard, he attracted the attention of others.

At least the old procuress looked pale as she watched the young boy sneak in. She waved her hand impatiently, "Little brother, you're early. It's time to close the shop …"

Before the old procuress could finish her sentence, her eyes suddenly lit up. She happily took a gold leaf from the yellow muscular young man's hand and immediately said, "Aiya, little brother, please come in quickly. What kind of girl do you like? "If you like people more, eight or ten won't be a problem …"

"I'm not looking for a girl. I'm just here to check on my results." Ling Tian Qing smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as he shouted, "Sister Hua, how have you been?"

"You … Yes... "You?" When Sister Hua heard this familiar voice, she looked at the youth's beautiful and spirited phoenix eyes. Suddenly, her face lit up and she immediately headed upstairs. "Young Master, please come up to speak."

The ancients had said that it was hidden in the city, and Ling Tian Qing felt that it was true.

The more noisy the place, the more people there were, the less likely it was to be found.

In addition, there were also many eyes and ears that could provide her with a lot of information.

So she mingled with the lower class and specialized in two main professions: beggars and whores.

The Beggar Gang was the largest gang in the world. It was a good place to try to get close to them. They had a wide network of contacts and were good at handling matters.

A courtesan/courtyard was a place where all sorts of people roamed. From the top officials and nobles to the commoners, it was easy for them to start a business and get rich.

Thinking about why Liu Yong's words were so famous, it was all because of the brothel girl's love for them. In a matter of seconds, they became like water in a well, thus they had to sing Liu Yong's words.

Under the feet of the Emperor, the city was bustling. Of course, the security was also very good, because there were a lot of Town Security. The people were living and working in peace, and the streets were peaceful without any disharmony.

Ling Qing wanted to start her own business under the watch of the Son of Heaven, and also could not brazenly go to the "Trade and Industry Bureau" to register, so she could only find a substitute to become the boss behind the scenes.

"Sister Hua, pick a day for the Courtesan Belle selection and bring the ladies from the gentle township over." Ling Qing was lying on the rocking chair, basking in the sun. With a sway, he said contentedly, "The salary is a little higher and the treatment is more humane. Don't order a lady who's like a flower like jade around …"

"The owner of this gentle township is Hua Hou, I don't dare to turn him in." Sister Hua was used to the little gongzi's words and astounding actions, so she shook her head with a smile.

"Hua Hou …" Ling Tian Qing bit her lips and laughed. "Royal family opening a brothel is a huge crime, right?"

She seemed to have forgotten that she was the queen of the royal family.

"Young master, we don't have that many heads. Hua Hou is the most favored person by the empress dowager's side and the Son of Heaven is filial today …" You must not act recklessly. " Seeing the strange smile on the little gongzi's face, the flower sister quickly replied in a serious tone.

"I'm afraid... You don't have the time to protect yourself anymore, right? " Ling Tian Qing suddenly stopped smiling and said.

After being a bawd for so many years, Sister Hua had seen everyone before, but Ling Tian was definitely the most peculiar person she had ever met.

No one seemed to understand her thoughts.

Sometimes, she was so innocent and adorable that it made people wonder if there was a child living inside her body. Sometimes, it also made people feel that … She was not human.

Perhaps she was just a fairy that had been left behind because she was a playboy.

"Young Master, aren't you going to take a look around the newly opened hotel?" The old procuress was very observant, and when she saw that Ling Qing did not seem to be in the mood, she immediately asked.

"No need." Ling Tian Qing did not want to wander around in broad daylight.

Although her business was getting better and better, Ling Qing still had to be on guard against people she met finding her.

During the first month, not only did she have to dress up as a man and make up her face, but she would also often mingle with beggars to avoid being searched by the soldiers. It was kind of like a guerrilla battle where one shot was exchanged for another.

Fortunately, the capital was big enough, and with the news of the brothels and the help of the beggars' gang being well-connected, he had been hiding for two to three months, yet he was unable to be found by Ling Xiang.

Or maybe … It was Ling Zui who didn't want to find her anymore.

After all, they had clearly said their parting words, so no matter how hard they tried to force it, it would be meaningless.

Currently, Ling Tian Qing was openly staying in a small house in the backyard of the brothel, with a waxy foundation at most.

"Then... Just tell me what the Courtesan Belle selection is about? " Seeing that Ling Tian had stopped rocking his chair and was staring at the sky absentmindedly, Sister Hua seemed to become more and more upset, and thus she changed the topic.

"Make your own restaurant a sponsor and provide free food and drinks. Your clothing will be sponsored by your own embroidery building and jewelry store …" Ling Tian suddenly stood up after he finished speaking, "Where's Little Four and Little Wu?"

"These two loaches, who knows where they went to play."

"Recently... It's been a long time since I saw Hua Hou, right? " Ling Tian Qing was a little worried, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"En, although Hua Hou used to be gentle, he will definitely come here to see if there are any new girls he likes within half a month …" After calculating it, Hua Hou hasn't come for about a month.

To Ling Qing, this was the news that he had not heard of for almost a hundred days.

"I heard that during the summer, the king is going to propose marriage to Hua Hou. Perhaps he really did propose marriage and got entangled by his fiancee?" Sister Hua smiled as she added.

"Get Little Four and Little Five back."

Ling Tian Qing knew very well that other people did not know about the marriage, and … At that time, Ling Zui perhaps did not really want to point out the marriage to Flower Speaker.

At that time … Ling Jin had met and dealt with Wen Han wholeheartedly, so perhaps the betrothal was just a pretense.

The Flower Speaker suddenly lost her message... This meant that something might have happened.

"Boss, look at this announcement."

Before Ling Qing could finish her sentence, Little Four and Little Five, like monkeys, rushed in through the door and handed a notice to her.

Ling Tian only glanced at him once before returning to his seat, the corners of his lips pursed tightly.

As expected …

Ling Zui had already put away the net.

And she, too, had no choice.

"Young master..." Are you okay? " Sister Hua asked worriedly when she saw Ling Tian Qing sitting on a chair with a somber expression on his face.

"This... It's you... Someone you know? " Seeing that something was wrong, Sister Hua immediately chased the four kids out and asked.

Back then, this little gongzi seemed to be very familiar with Flower Speaker. Then, he might be acquainted with Wen Han as well …

It was written on the notice that the traitor Wen Han and his thirty-two accomplices would be executed one month later at the noontime gate.

"No …" "I don't know him." Ling Tian had to put in a lot of effort before being able to say these five words.

"That's good …" Treason... this kind of thing involves nine families. " Of course Sister Hua did not believe him, but she was glad that Ling Tian Qing had said so.

Although she did not know what had happened inside the imperial court, the most serious crime was treason and seizing the throne. If he was implicated, no matter how many heads he had, it would not be enough.

"This is the plan book. Take it and take a look. Prepare for the Courtesan Belle selection." Although Ling Tianqing was in a safe place, she still wore makeup. There was a layer of waxy yellow powder on her face, and her true expression could not be seen.

Sister Hua knew that Ling Tian Qing wanted to be alone, so she took the proposal and left immediately.

Only Ling Tian was left in a daze as he stared at the notice.

I didn't expect it to be so fast …

Ling Tian Qing closed his eyes and exhaled softly.

The past had nothing to do with her, right?

He still remembered that on the eve of his departure, Ling Xinqiao had taken action to send out the eight guards and a few virtuous people back to the capital. She, on the other hand, knew that Ling Jing was going to deal with Wen Han, but she did not stop him.

At that time, she already knew that she was just a woman, and that she couldn't change the general situation of the world.

However, her connections were very wide and she didn't know anything about the inside information.

Could it be that Ling Xiang had used some sort of method to remove Wen Han without spending a single person?

"Yo, why are you so dispirited today?" A fat old man suddenly barged in with a red face and a wine jug in his arms.

Ling Tian Qing stretched out his hand and threw the notice to the side. With a calm demeanor, he sat down on the wooden chair and smiled, "Grandpa, you drank too much again."

Although he no longer felt cold, he still felt pained when he heard that he was going to be executed.

Like family... Wen Han once said that.

Who wants their family to die?

He didn't know if this news was true or false …

Even if it was true, she didn't know how to save the ice cream now.

At that time, he had told Ling Chao not to fight for power, and just not to listen to him. Now, he was reaping the consequences!

"Grandfather didn't drink too much," The strange old man looked at Ling Tian Qing, smiling as he walked over. His entire body was reeking of alcohol, "It can't be that your beloved has married someone else, right? "Look at your pitiful appearance, tell me just what happened."
