He Feng was like an uncrowned king, praised desperately by the Little Clear Party members, but with a higher price, it would be hard for them to buy a spring breeze for a whole night.
"I say, Young Master Qing, you won't be able to earn money if you take over Lotus Wind here." Sister Hua pushed open the door of the He Feng room. She was on the verge of tears when she saw Ling Qing still sitting there.
Someone had offered a thousand taels of gold to Lotus the entire night, but Ling Tian Qing had actually refused to allow anyone to receive him.
"Sister Hua, I'm taking He Feng out tomorrow." Ling Tian replied with a smile, "I won't take anyone's guest."
"There's also Lian Lu. She doesn't accept guests either." Ling Tian Qing added.
Sister Hua wants to die.
Wasn't the purpose of the Courtesan Belle selection to sell for a good price?
How could he continue to earn money without receiving guests?
"You're not thinking of giving the title of Courtesan Belle to a business partner, are you?" Sister Hua asked.
She couldn't just give away her money for free.
Ling Tian Qing was not usually generous, but when he did, he was generous enough to kill people.
"Pay attention to the words. The target of 'tribute' can only be His Majesty." Ling Tian Qing corrected her.
"Well said!" A man came in, laughing and clapping his hands.
It was Flower Speaker.
Flower Speaker replied in a low voice, "This humble subject pays his respects to the Empress."
He did not want to see Ling Tian Qing at all, but with a mission, there was nothing he could do …
"Flower Master!" She Feng and Sister Hua immediately felt blessed. They looked at each other and left with a tacit understanding.
Hua-jie closed the door very carefully.
"Empress." As Flower Speaker heard the footsteps outside disappear, she immediately kneeled down and paid her respects, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
The current Little Demoness had already been reborn, how could he dare to tease her like he did in the past?
"It has been a long time since I last saw Hua Hou, and his actions have been restrained? Is it okay to be trained and nurtured by Ling Zui? " The first time Ling Tian saw Flower Speaker in the gambling den, he felt that he was haggard, as if he had been scolded by Ling Ying.
What she didn't know was that it was all thanks to her.
"How dare I be so impudent in front of the Empress?" Flower Speaker said as she stood up.
"Why are you still not taking care of the wound on your forehead?" Seeing that there was a wound on his forehead, Ling Tian could not help but feel curious.
Flower Speaker had always loved the beautiful, stinky beauty. For her to be able to leave wounds on her face for so long, that was really strange.
"I've been too busy with official business to care about this minor injury to my forehead." Flower Speaker said humbly.
In any case, the bodies of the people of Tian Dynasty were strong, and these little injuries would not leave any scars.
"Hua Hou is also busy with the examinees' matters?" Ling Tian Qing asked casually.
"Leave this matter to the other dukes, this subject will be responsible for the safety of the capital." Flower Speaker thought back to last year at the Crown Prince's Palace, and how he watched her being beaten. Now that he thought about it, he should really paint that scene and hang it in the house to admire it everyday!
"Yes." Ling Tian Qing did not seem to be able to find a topic to talk to him, as he continued to look at him.
"This subject has come to see the Empress today for a matter of request." Flower Speaker quickly got down to business.
"Hua Hou has a time to beg for help?" Ling Tianqing smiled, as if she found this interesting.
"This subject is responsible for the safety of all kinds of cities, and needs to pay close attention to all the shops and the floating population. But this morning, there are still people who disappeared." Flower Speaker said seriously.
"What's the use of you coming to find me for something like this?" Ling Tian Qing thought for a while, "Could it be that he's in my brothel?"
"Man, he disappeared from your territory." That was the correct way to put it.
Flower Speaker swore in front of Ling Caiji that she would keep an eye on Ling Tianqing's subordinates and not let anything happen to them.
However, after the Courtesan Belle selection ended, there were still people who took advantage of the bustling night curtain call and disappeared.
That person was Hong Qi.
"I will cooperate with Hua Hou's search." Ling Tian Qing said calmly, as if he thought that a certain client had disappeared.
"Esteemed Empress, your subject begs that you stop playing. Hong Qi is a member of the Beggar Gang. I've only borrowed your hand to ascend to the heavens. It's impossible for her to disappear without a reason …"
"Are you doubting me?" Ling Tian Qing interrupted the Flower Speaker and asked.
"This official dares not." Of course Flower Speaker doubted her. The Queen's actions were strange, who knew where she would hide Hong Qi.
He might even lock that big white face up as a taboo …
Tsk tsk, thinking of this, Flower Speaker immediately felt more sympathy for the king.
"What is Hua Hou thinking?" Ling Tian Qing then interrupted Hua Ye's fantasy and sneered, "Since something happened in my territory, I will naturally cooperate with Hua Hou's investigation. If Hua Hou can find out what happened, that would be for the best, but if he can't, then I will not suffer any injustice."
When Flower Speaker heard this, she felt her heart go cold.
He knew that coming here would be a waste of effort.
But if he didn't come here, under the pressure of the king, he would suffer even more.
"Who dares to put the Empress to justice? This subject is just … May I ask the Empress if there is any place Hong Qi loves to go to on a daily basis? "
"Hong Qi is a lowly person who comes from a beggar family. Do you think that I would chat about hobbies with him?" Ling Qing snorted, obviously unhappy.
This was something Ling Xuanxuan had once said.
She said that she had shamed the dignity of the royal family by hanging around the lower Nine Paths.
"Esteemed Empress, your subject has not been eating well recently. I have been feeling sad all day and night. Can you …" "Are you going to spare this official?" Flower Speaker knew that he wouldn't be able to find a good opportunity here, but since he dared to come, he definitely wouldn't return empty-handed.
"Why does Hua Hou say that? I didn't do anything to you, did I? " Ling Tian Qing then laughed out loud as he said with great interest, "Could it be that the reason you're so adamant on not eating and drinking is because of me?"
"Empress, this subject is willing to exchange one person's information for Hong Qi's information." Flower Speaker clenched her teeth and revealed her trump card.
"I really didn't expect that a person of the lower Nine Paths would make Marquis Hua so concerned." Ling Qing smiled, his expression unperturbed.
In his heart, he knew who that person was.
"Because... Hong Lingtong is one of the Empress's men so this subject does not dare to be careless. " Flower Speaker spoke the truth.
Now that Ling Tian was so exquisite, there was no need for him to hide it so that she wouldn't see through him and make fun of him.
"I am not interested in other people's information. As for Hong Qi, his contract has already ended. He is not mine."
When Flower Speaker heard this, she couldn't help but carefully look at Ling Qing's expression.
She was indifferent to the cold.
Although Wen Han had indeed hurt her heart and sent her back to Ling Xuanxin's side, he was forced to do so …
Stop! He should be happy, why did he still want to fight for Wen Han?
Flower Speaker couldn't help but feel sad. Could it be that he already loved her so much that he lost himself?
"You really …" Not caring about him at all? " Flower Speaker could not help but ask.
"Who is Hua Hou talking about?" Ling Tian Qing remained calm.
But in his heart, he had already determined that … He's not dead.
The news of the execution was indeed false.
"Unfortunately, he still remembers the Empress." Flower Speaker clearly knew that if the King heard this, it would be a capital offense, but … He still wanted to say.
Warm and cold … Should she know his heart?
"Hua Hou is indeed... Do you really like men? " Ling Tian asked suddenly.
How observant she was.
Flower Speaker had always been a playground and had never been sincere to anyone. However, at this moment, she was taking the risk to speak up for Wen Han …
Thinking back to his attitude towards Ling Xue of the Fourth Marquis, it wasn't like this either.
As Ling Tianqing recalled the relationship between him and Wen Han, she was taken aback.
Hua Hou was a veteran in love, he could get anything he wanted, but he had no idea that he had other feelings for Wen Han.
"Empress, you really don't want to know about him?" Flower Speaker clenched her teeth and threw caution to the wind.
If Wen Han was happier, he would die.
In any case, if Hong Qi was not found today, he would die.
"Not willing." Ling Tian Qing said softly, word for word, as he stopped smiling.
She was determined to cut off all relations with her past. No matter what happened, she would not allow herself to be embarrassed like she had been before.
"Empress …" "Truly ruthless." Flower Speaker didn't expect that his trump card would be useless here.
Ling Qing was invulnerable, and was unable to obtain any useful information from her.
"Hua Hou, this is a favor." Ling Tian Qing looked at Flower Speaker and said softly, "You have to remember that I am the one who helped you this time."
Although her complexion was dark and dumb, her attitude still made people feel that she was … There was a wordless pressure.
Flower Speaker unconsciously lowered her eyes and bit her lips. She was unwilling but could do nothing but say, "This subject will remember this in my heart. I thank the Empress for this kindness."
Indeed, this was a favor.
As long as Ling Tian was unrelated to Wen Han, Flower Speaker would feel grateful.
It was the same for Wen Han and everyone else.
Flower Speaker was actually scared.
He was afraid that Ling Tian Qing was still thinking about the warm weather.
If she really couldn't forget, then Ling Xiang would definitely be even more obsessed with it. He was in an extremely harsh and warm situation, and he had no happiness to speak of.
But... Hearing her resolute answer, Flower Speaker felt unresigned for Wen Han.
"If Hua Hou wishes to search, my men will cooperate throughout. Please." Ling Qing replied with a smile.
After Flower Speaker left, the smile on Ling Tian Qing's face slowly disappeared.
If ten thousand people chase after you, then one person will hurt. If ten thousand people treat you, then one person will understand …
And when would she be able to find such a person?
For the past few days, Ling Xuanxin had not shown up at all. It was as if he wanted to show her sincerity by not interfering with her daily work and never disturbing her life.
However, Ling Tianqing knew that the only reason she had met him was because she wanted to leave the city.
The next morning, Ling Tianqing brought her men and drove two carriages out of the city.
She was still dressed like a man as she calmly accepted the inspection at the city gate.
"Little Qing Er, why did you bring so many useless people with you?" The fat old man said that all the funds should be used for drinking, they shouldn't raise useless people like these.
"There's some fun on the way!" Ling Tian then pointed at the two young men from the Beggar Gang and said, "They are smart and sensible, and also have the support of the number one gang. If our deal breaks down, we can also ask the Beggar Gang to help us out …"
Little Four and Little Five were embarrassed. How could they go out to do business with such a mindset?
"If we were robbed on the way and run out of money, these two ladies are both perverted and talented, and they can easily earn a thousand taels of silver a day to buy wine …" Ling Tian Qing continued.
She had been away for too long and had seen all sorts of people every day. Her speech had become more and more unreliable, as if she was a man instead of being as cautious and cautious as she was in the palace.
