The whole internet begged the girl to usurp the throne

A quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door again. Lin Yan went to open the door, and three women with different looks and beauty came in one after another——

Among them was a woman in a rose-colored skirt, with a charming gait. She immediately locked eyes with the young man in blue brocade clothes at the table in the room.

The other two women followed them into the house and stood still waiting for instructions. The woman in the rose dress swayed her waist and hips, lazily holding an embroidered fan with her little hands, and came directly to Shen Yinxi and sat down -

"Brother looks strange. Is he that young master?"

The sweet voice was boneless, and the sound sounded like wet water, making the ears itch.

While talking, the woman's body moved closer to her intentionally or unintentionally, and with it came the scent of powder.

Shen Yinlu couldn't help but lean back defensively, and gave an awkward fake smile, then looked at Xiao Sanqi——

Xiao Sanqi said: "This is Miss Yuanwei. Apart from Liu Yu'er, she is the one in Tuxiang Tower. Aunt Mei saw the reputation of Juyuan Tower and gave her a friendly price. With Miss Yuanwei, she only needs 20 taels of gold a day!"

Shen Yinlu looked at the other two standing women: "What about these two?"

Xiao Sanqi introduced: "This is also a girl from Tuxianglou, calling"

Xiao Sanqi suddenly got stuck and couldn't remember the girl's name.

Lin Yan answered: "Her name is Ning Xiang, she is 14 years old. She was sold to Tuxiang House by her father a few days ago."

Xiao Sanqi: "Ah, yes, this girl was chosen by Lin Yan!"

Lin Yan immediately blushed and retorted: "What do you mean I choose? Didn't I say that I should choose someone younger?"

Thinking of the scene when he and Xiao Sanqi went shopping at Tuxiang Tower last night, the way he looked at Shen Yinglu felt a little guilty for no reason.

Also mixed with some other restless emotions
Xiao Sanqi: "Just tell me if you picked the person!"

Lin Yan: "...I picked it, so I feel sorry for this girl."

Among the dozen or so girls in the row, she was the one with red and swollen eyes. He couldn't help but ask more questions and heard her say that her father sold her daughter to pay off his debt.
If he hadn't asked her to leave her at that time, she would have been forcibly picked up by Madam Mei.
Lu Sanqi didn't say anything.

Brothels are used to looking at people, and they are also used to using tricks, using what kind of methods for what kind of customers.

Using pity to win a man's sympathy is the lowest level of entry-level tricks.

Lin Yan is about to fall for this trick, so let him!

Shen looked at the woman named Ning Xiang. She looked pretty and upright, with only a light powder on her face. When she looked at the person, her eyes showed a touch of caution and restraint, which made her feel pitiful and fragile.
After looking around, Shen Yinlu looked at the cold woman next to Ning Xiang and asked:
"Where is this girl?"

Xiao Sanqi responded: "This is Du Qiu, not the girl from Tuxiang Tower, but my maid from Juyuan Tower."

Shen Yinluo's eyes widened in surprise.

In terms of appearance ranking alone, the coldness of Du Qiu's eyebrows is more pleasing to the eye than the charm on Yuan Wei's face.

She felt that she was the prettiest among the three.

Such a beautiful beauty is actually just a maid from Juyuan Tower? ? ?
Xu Shi saw the surprise and confusion on Shen Yingu's face, and Xiao Sanqi added:
"Sister Duqiu only serves distinguished guests on the fifth and fourth floors. She is also top-notch when it comes to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It was because there were so few guests in Juyuan Building these past two days that she couldn't resist my pestering and begging, so she relented and helped!"

Shen Yinlu knew clearly.

She first whispered something small in Miss Yuanwei's ear.

Miss Yuanwei's face changed suddenly and she stood up immediately: "I'm sorry, young master, I can't do this concubine, I'd better hire someone else!"

As he left, he didn't forget to glare at Lu Sanqi.

Lu Sanqi and Lin Yan looked at each other, and Xiao Sanqi asked:

"What did you tell her?"

Shen Yinlu said perfunctorily: "It's nothing. Miss Yuanwei is very good, but just because she is famous, she is not suitable."

She made up a random excuse, saying that she was asked to serve an old man at home who had been ill for a long time and could not stay at home. Miss Yuanwei's spirit had been raised by twenty gold coins, so she did not want to get sick, let alone an old man.

Shen Yinxi asked Ning Xiang again: "If I give you a hundred gold now, what will you use it for?"

"I must first redeem myself and escape from this filthy sea of ​​misery. In order to repay the master for saving me, I can become a slave and a maidservant, serving the master at his side!"

Ning Xiang couldn't hide her excitement, as if Shen Yinlu had already placed 100 taels of gold on the table in front of her, and the next thing she wanted to say was to give it to her.

Shen Yinxi thought for a moment, then looked at Du Qiu, who always looked cold beside Ning Xiang, and shouted politely:
"Sister Duqiu is very cold and cold. Has she always been like this?"

Du Qiu bowed slightly and then answered the question: "The guests on the fifth floor are all elegant people. They are used to being fawning and making fun of people around them, so they don't need me to pretend to cater to them."

After speaking, he raised his eyes to meet Shen Yinglu's gaze, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"If the young master likes to laugh, I can do that too."

This smile did not reach the end of his eyes, and there was obviously a hint of far-fetched meaning.

But for such a cold beauty, just the smile on her lips is enough to make people unable to take their eyes away.

"Sister Duqiu has a hundred gold, what will it be used for?"

Duqiu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she thought for a moment, and finally couldn't think of what she was short of, so she replied:
"Keep it and take it out when you need it someday."

This does not sound like a money-hungry owner.

Also, even Xiao Sanqi, who only works as a waiter on the first and second floors, can save 500 taels of gold as pocket money, not to mention the amount of gold and silver surplus that Duqiu on the higher floor can have every month.

Shen Yinlu smiled warmly: "Xiao Sanqi probably didn't tell you two what she was going to do. It's like this. I have a girl who was betrayed by a heartless man a few days ago. She will be dying at home now. I As a brother, you have to help your sister to say this, so that you can teach that heartless man a lesson!
The heartless man is now married to a beautiful girl, and my wish is very simple. Sister Lao can use some means to dig a hole for the heartless man to step in."

After Du Qiu heard this, his expression remained calm, as if he had known it for a long time, or perhaps it was not such a big deal.

Ning Xiang, on the other hand, understood, but her face looked a little troubled.

Shen Yinlu saw it, and Lin Yan was not blind.

He reassured: "Don't worry, I will never let you betray anything, I'm just trying to seduce you."

Ning Xiang's face softened a little, and just when she was about to nod, Shen Yinlu suddenly added:

"By the way, that heartless man is not an ordinary citizen. He has an official position. He seems to be in the fourth or fifth grade?"

After hearing this, Ning Xiang immediately shook her head and looked at Lin Yan with pitiful eyebrows: "Brother Lin, I'm afraid."

Lin Yan: "Don't be afraid. Although he is an official, he has no real power."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yinlu interrupted:
"Ayan, if Miss Ningxiang is afraid, don't force yourself to do anything. Send Miss Ningxiang back later!"

While talking, Shen Yinlu took out two finger-sized pieces of gold from his purse and placed them on the table, treating them as the reward for Miss Ning Xiang's hard work.

"Fuck--" Lin Yan wanted to say something else, but Shen looked at him with raised eyes, so he swallowed his words again and only said to Ning Xiang:

"Miss Ningxiang, please come this way."

Ning Xiang obediently followed Lin Yan out of the room.

He originally thought that if she could take over the job, the remaining reward might be enough to redeem her life after it was completed.
When he was sent downstairs, Lin Yan turned around and asked, "Is this gold enough for you to redeem yourself?" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ning Xiang's mouth: "I don't know what is written in the sale deed, and I don't know if it is enough, but the guest's The rewards must be given to Aunt Mei, and they cannot be exchanged for ransom money."

Lin Yan frowned: "Then you can't keep it yourself? I won't tell Aunt Mei and the others."

Ning Xiang said: "I was imprisoned for a few days, taught the rules, and had to live in the building in the future, so I didn't dare to hide the reward money secretly. I was found out, the money was not missing, and I was beaten again."

Lin Yan stopped talking.

He wants to save her.

But he had just arrived at Juyuan Building, and he hadn't done enough in one month, and he couldn't do it every month. He didn't have the money to redeem himself.

He was too embarrassed to ask for it.

Outside the gate, Tuxianglou's carriage was still waiting, thinking that the Yuanwei girl hadn't left yet.

Lin Yan finally said: "If someone asks you about it when you go back, don't tell the truth."

"Don't worry, Brother Lin. I only said that the young master doesn't even like Sister Yuanwei, let alone me. I won't say anything else."

"Okay, okay. If I'm free another day, I'll come see you."

"it is good."

After the two said goodbye, Lin Yan helped Ning Xiang get into the carriage.
-
As soon as the carriage moved, Yuan Wei, who was in charge, couldn't help but say: "Your tricks are really useful."

At this time, the timidity and restraint on Ning Xiang's eyebrows were gone, and they were covered by the confidence of being in control. She was completely different from when she was in front of Lin Yan just now.

She raised her lips and smiled at Yuan: "Although the trick is not new, it just works. I am not as good-looking as my sister. If you hook your fingers, there will be a lot of men vying to spend money on you, so I can only do more." It took some effort”

She can only arouse the pity of men who are new to the world and make them spend money for her or even redeem her life.

Of course, she doesn't care at all now whether to redeem herself or not. When she finds someone with strong financial resources and a certain liking for her, it won't be too late to redeem herself.

In short, there was no way she would leave with a servant who was doing odd jobs.

Yuan Wei's lips curved up with a hint of contempt and disdain: "You're not picky, you look down on everyone!"

Even a slave is willing to put in the effort to look like this.

Ning Xiang's face was unconcerned. She played with the two pieces of gold with her little hands and said with a smile: "Who cares, anyone who can afford the money is my guest."
-
Duqiu's appearance, behavior, and behavior were in no way inferior to that of the official lady.

Again, people from Juyuan Tower are always more reliable than the girls in the brothel.

After Shen Yinlu made his purpose clear, Duqiu had no questions or objections, and acted completely obediently.
Shen Yinlu told Du Qiu and Xiao Sanqi all his ideas and plans.

When leaving, Shen Yinlu took out three ingots of 50 taels of gold from his purse: "You can use these 150 taels first. If there is not enough, Miss Sanqi Duqiu, help me cushion it, and I will count it later." become"

After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry.

Lu Sanqi took the gold from the table and frowned.

He turned around and asked Du Qiu who was standing next to him: "Did you just see that she took out the gold from her purse?"

A money bag that's bigger than your palm can hold 150 taels?

Du Qiu was not sure: "She took it out from under the table, but I didn't see it very clearly."

Lu Sanqi was still puzzled.

Although she took it out from under the table, after taking out the three ingots of gold one by one, she clearly pulled the string of the purse and put the purse in her arms -
Shen Yinlu hurriedly entered the palace, and when he was heading towards the Qing Palace, he saw from a distance on the other side, two imperial doctors in official uniforms leading two medical men, who were hurrying towards the harem -

"Doctor Yang?" Shen Yinlu shouted tentatively at the top of his lungs.

Those people all turned around, and one of the doctors turned out to be Dr. Yang.

Shen Yinlu trotted over, "What are you doing?"

Logically speaking, imperial doctors would take pulses from various palaces in the morning, and it was rare for them to take pulses in the afternoon.

Unless something happens!

Imperial Physician Yang first told Imperial Physician Zhen and the eunuch who was delivering the message: "I would like to ask Imperial Physician Zhen to go first. I will catch up soon."

Imperial Physician Zhen glanced at Shen Yinlu, didn't say anything, just turned around and strode away——

Seeing the elderly Imperial Physician Zhen rushing in such a hurry, Shen Yinguo quickly asked Imperial Physician Yang:

"What happened? Someone was hurt?"

Doctor Yang looked a little sad: "It's not that he was injured, he was killed."

Shen Yinlu's eyes widened, "Who died?"

At such an important banquet, someone died. Was it an accident or man-made?

Doctor Yang: "It was a woman from Leng Palace. I heard that she fell into the river. Her body floated along the river to the garden. It frightened all the ladies."

"Leng Palace?" Shen Yinlu frowned when he heard this: "There is a lock on the door of Leng Palace. The woman inside shouldn't be able to get out. How could she fall into the river?"

"I don't know. Maybe I climbed the wall."

"That's right." Imperial Physician Yang remembered it and whispered to Shen Yingu: "I heard that the woman is the biological mother of the sixth prince, but she is still pregnant with a bitch. This matter is too big and the queen cannot hide it. It has already been spread. It’s in the ears of the emperor.”

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Yixian had interacted with the sixth and seventh princes on weekdays, he wouldn't have said this.

He originally wanted Shen Yixian to avoid suspicion, but Shen Yinxian looked ugly. After being silent for a while, he pulled him forward quickly——

Shen Yinxu originally wanted to see the woman's body, but when he arrived with Imperial Physician Yang, he discovered that Imperial Physician Yang and Imperial Physician Zhen were asking for the pulse of the frightened empress and ladies, and the body had been carried away long ago and was no longer here.

The prince is also there.

Seeing her coming back, the prince gave her a look and asked her to follow him out——

"Where have you been?"

Shen Yinluo: "I couldn't sleep. I thought that Juyuan Tower was close to the palace, so I went to Xiao Sanqi and Ayan to have some tea."

"What's the matter?" she asked.

The words were a little serious, and the look in the prince's eyes was even a bit suspicious and questioning.

After she heard the words "Sixth Highness, His Highness," she subconsciously thought that Mei Shen, who was banished to the cold palace, was the incident that the prince wanted to make a fuss about.

Qi Hechen was dissatisfied with Shen Yinlu's attitude and tone. He knew what she was suspecting and explained:
"The death of Shen Meiren from pregnancy and drowning in Leng Palace was caused by Jing Guo's proton who lived near Leng Palace."

Not what he did.
