Sheng Chong Jinghua: There is room for the legitimate daughter of the miracle doctor

Chapter 68

Her figure was soon submerged in the crowd, and no matter how Qiu Chan and Dong Mei called, she did not look back.

The Qujiang Banquet is right next to the Shangsi Festival, so there is no curfew in the capital these days. It stays up all night long, and the streets are very lively with people coming and going.

Huo Jiuge followed him to a restaurant. She watched him stop at the door. The bright lights of the restaurant reflected on him, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not see his face clearly.

She followed the mysterious man into the restaurant. The man, led by a maid, walked up to the second floor with ease. Just when Huo Jiuge was about to follow, a drunk man suddenly blocked his way.

"When did this Juxing Tower get such a good-looking wine girl?" He said and was about to touch Huo Jiuge's face. After she dodged it, the other party's expression immediately changed. He took advantage of the wine to act crazy and said: "Hey - you dare to hide? Do you know who I am? Do you believe what I say? I can make it impossible for you to survive in the capital. By then, let alone you, even your whole family will starve to death. !”

His voice directly turned everyone's attention to the two of them, including the man Huo Jiuge was following.

He saw the other person standing on the stairs of the second floor, looking inquiringly towards this side. Their eyes met across the crowd, and Huo Jiuge finally saw his appearance clearly.

It was a very ordinary face, just like a grain of rice falling into a rice vat. If the panic in her heart hadn't reminded her, it would have been difficult for Huo Jiuge to notice someone with this kind of appearance.

Except for a pair of cold star-like eyes, there was no bright spot on his body. Huo Jiuge looked down at the section of his arm that was exposed outside the sleeves. He was holding a horizontal knife, part of which could not be seen.

Just when Huo Jiuge tried to see clearly, the other party suddenly turned around and continued walking on the path under his feet.

Huo Jiuge was still pestering this rogue. Not only did the other party not show any fear in her begging for mercy, but he was also absent-minded and did not take his words to heart. He suddenly became furious and raised his hand to hit the person.

But at that moment, he was stopped by the shopkeeper who came over. He smiled apologetically and explained to the man: "Sir, you misunderstood. This girl is not from us. If you want to find someone to drink with, I'll call you right away." Arrangements for you.”

"Aren't you from here?" The man squinted his eyes and looked up and down Huo Jiuge, and then said with his oily mouth: "How could a serious girl come to a place like this?"

He was talking nonsense. If there wasn't something important right now, Huo Jiuge would have beaten him to pieces with his temper!
At this time, the shopkeeper was calming the man's emotions and telling Huo Jiuge not to argue with him.

In the end, Huo Jiuge just rolled her eyes at him, and then hurriedly caught up with the man while he was still in his sight. The man behind her was dissatisfied with her attitude and seemed to want to cause trouble, so Huo Jiuge ignored him.

There were separate private rooms on the second floor. As soon as she went upstairs, she saw the corner of his clothes disappearing around the corner. The maid also withdrew after sending him there.

After Huo Jiuge locked his position, he walked into an empty private room next to him.

Even if the wooden restaurant is made with precision, there are still gaps. Seeing a ray of light coming from the dark room, Huo Jiuge moved the vase on the table and put it against the wall. Be prepared to see what the people there are talking about.

"Last winter, those eunuchs asked the emperor to allocate funds under the pretext of renovating Weiyang Palace. Now it's March, damn it! Not even the roof has been repaired, and they are clamoring for money again."

"I really don't know what a bunch of useless people would do with so much money. Are they going to take all the money into the coffin when they are going to die?"

From their tone, it seemed that they were all officials from the DPRK and China, and they were still discussing the rebuilding of Weiyang Palace.Weiyang Palace was the residence of the queens of the past dynasties, but since the former queen's fire burned it clean many years ago, the place has become a ruin. Now the queen can only live in Kunning Palace.

Although Kunning Palace is also extremely luxurious, it is still inferior to Weiyang Palace. Before, it was at most the residence of a noble concubine.

"Prince Yu has made great achievements in handling the wrong case in Huzhou this time. As soon as he came back, the emperor increased the budget for Weiyang Palace. Could it be that the emperor still has any expectations for him?"

"What can you expect from a mixed-blood emperor? Do you hope that the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty will be controlled by people with half Yi blood?"

"Then the emperor has always been frugal, so he is willing to spend so much money on rebuilding Weiyang Palace this time?"

Huo Jiuge originally thought that what they were complaining about was just the eunuchs enriching themselves, but he did not expect that there was also something about Prince Yu.

Moreover, they said that he had just come back after doing official business outside. When they said this, Huo Jiuge immediately thought of the group of people he met on the way to Qujiang Banquet this morning.

The leader is probably the Prince Yu they call him.

The sound of their discussion became quieter after that. Huo Jiuge couldn't hear clearly through the wooden wall, but he had a vague feeling that they seemed to be complaining to someone, and that the person's identity was far above them.

Huo Jiuge, who couldn't hear the sound, was anxious in the next room. She kept looking for the best position to try to figure out what they were saying. In the darkness, her arm accidentally touched the vase that she had just removed.

By the time she reacted, the vase was already shaky, and she quickly reached out to help it. At this moment, her hand touched another pair of hands reaching out from the darkness.

When Huo Jiuge stepped back, he bumped into the table and made a loud sound, especially in the dark, which was particularly harsh.

The sound also reached the next door. After hearing the sound, they immediately stopped discussing the sound.

"what happened?"

"Is there anyone else next door?"

In the darkness, Huo Jiuge couldn't see the other person's face, let alone whether it was an enemy or a friend. In order to save her life, she planned to strike first.

She pinned the other person against the wall with her backhand, pulled out the hairpin from her head with one hand, put it against his neck, and then asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

Although the weather was getting warmer in mid-spring, it was still a bit cold at night, especially since Huo Jiuge had been out in public for so long. Her little hands were cold, but her eyes were as dazzling as the scorching sun, filled with murderous intent.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Huo Jiuge increased the strength of her hand. The flesh on the other party's neck was about to be cut by her. This is the lifeblood of a person. If she stabbed deeper, the other party would soon be cut. Will die by her hands.
