Chapter 33

Under Yan Ruobing's repeated persuasion, Yinxue took off her coat and went down into the pool with only a bellyband wrapped around her chest.

"I'll lure the prince over in a while. You have to turn your back to her and pretend not to know. The best thing is to hum a song while taking a bath, so that it looks more natural."

Yan Ruobing briefly explained her plan, and Yinxue nodded half-understanding, but she still seemed a little unconfident.

"Sister, is this really okay? What if the prince ignores me?"

"No matter what the result is, wouldn't it be good for me to bring him here for you to meet? So don't be nervous and let nature take its course."

Hearing what Yan Ruobing said, Yinxue felt a little relieved, and took a deep breath to keep herself calm.

"Okay, I'll lure him over. What to do next is up to you."

After Yan Ruobing finished speaking, she ran to find Huangfuao, she could only help Yinxue so far.If she guessed correctly, Huangfu Ao might not have remembered Yinxue, so it might be useful to arrange an unexpected encounter between them.

Yan Ruobing ran outside Huangfu Ao's bedroom and saw that the lights were still on, which meant that Huangfu Ao hadn't fallen asleep yet, so it would not be difficult to lure him out.

When she put on a black cloth face towel and went outside Huangfu Ao's room, she heard voices talking inside.

Out of curiosity, Yan Ruobing didn't immediately alarm Huangfu Ao, but hid outside the window and quietly eavesdropped.

"My lord, my subordinates have found out that the people who send good girls to Qianjiao Baimei Pavilion every time are a group of people. They are very organized, and most of the girls sent to Qianjiao Baimei Pavilion are from other places, so this can be completely judged as trafficking in women." It's just that the origin of that group of people is still unclear."

"After so many days of investigation, you just tell me these useless nonsense?"

Obviously, the news of the hidden guard did not satisfy Huangfu Ao, and the room was suddenly enveloped in a strong anger.

"My lord, please calm down. From the last investigation, my subordinates also found a den of this group of thieves, but they have more than one den, so when our people rushed, they had all moved."

"Hmph! Continue to investigate! This time the emperor asked me to investigate the disappearance of women from all over the country, and I guessed that this group of thieves must be related. And the amount of money they earned in Qianjiaobaimei Pavilion may be astonishing."

Huangfu gave the order in a cold tone. He felt that if a gang was doing something so organized, there must be someone behind it who was manipulating the overall situation.That person hoarding silver taels in such a hurry must be useful.

"As ordered!"

After the hidden guard retreated, Huangfu Ao sat back on the chair and began to think, looking very troubled.

Yan Ruobing didn't expect that Huangfu Ao was really investigating the case, and it was to rescue those women who were suffering from Qianjiao Baimei Pavilion.

A sense of guilt arose spontaneously. If she hadn't caused trouble last time, the case would have come to light and the culprits had all been caught, and no innocent woman would be killed in the future.

No, since the incident happened because of her, she must help Huangfu Ao solve the case as soon as possible!

Yan Ruobing made up her mind in her heart, but she didn't know that she thought things too simply.

It's just that now, if she wants to help Yinxue finish what she should do, for the rest, she will go back and plan carefully.

Seeing Huangfu Ao thinking about things in the room, Yan Ruobing hid by the window and threw a small dart into Huangfu Ao's room.

The dart just landed on the table in front of Huangfu Ao, and there was a small piece of paper on it, with the words 'come and chase me' written in black and white.

Yan Ruobing knew that Huangfu Ao was very suspicious, so if she wrote like that, Huangfu Ao would definitely chase her out.

Sure enough, Yan Ruobing didn't run a few steps, Huangfu Ao quickly chased after her.

She deliberately led Huangfu Ao towards the pool near the palace garden, and when she ran near the rockery, she immediately hid in the hiding place she had found in advance.

And when Huangfu Ao caught up, the person he was chasing had already disappeared.

The surroundings of the garden were extraordinarily quiet, Huangfu Ao took advantage of the bright moonlight and looked sharply around for places where people could hide.

And just when he was engrossed, a soft singing voice suddenly came from not far away.

Huangfu Ao followed the singing all the way to the pool, but saw a naked woman taking a bath in the pool.

Because the moonlight was very bright, he could see clearly, the white and smooth skin, and the graceful back, all looked so beautiful in this silent night.

"Who is there!"

Huangfu Ao shouted, and his sudden voice startled the beauty in the pool.

Yinxue turned around with a look of astonishment, and when she saw Huangfu Ao, she immediately squatted down even more like a frightened little fish, hiding everything from the neck down in the water.

"Come out! Don't blame me for being rude!"

Huangfuao didn't remember Yinxue anymore, so when he saw the face of a strange woman, he immediately became vigilant.

Yinxue was a little excited at the moment, but she was more at a loss.After being yelled by Huangfu Ao, he was so frightened that he became unsteady and fell into the pool.

Originally, she was standing on the edge of the pool, so the water level only reached her waist.Yinxue, who fell into the pool more than two meters deep, could only shout "Help" and struggle in the water because she couldn't swim.

Yan Ruobing hid behind the rockery and saw everything clearly, not knowing that Yinxue had really slipped.Still secretly praising Yinxue's wonderful use of this trick in his heart.

Seeing that Yinxue didn't seem to be pretending, Huangfu stepped forward to save her, and quickly fished Yinxue out of the water.

Yinxue, who had returned to the ground, kept coughing up water, and the night wind even made her body tremble uncontrollably.

Huangfuao threw Yinxue's clothes off by the pool to her, and then asked indifferently, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Yinxue sees the lord! Yinxue is a concubine that the lord brought back from 'Yinchuan' half a year ago. Because of the sweltering weather recently, she quietly took a bath in the pool at night. She never wanted to startle the lord. Please forgive me .”

After listening to Yinxue's words, Huangfu Ao thought about it for a long time before he vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

There was a disaster in Yinchuan half a year ago, the emperor ordered him to inspect it, and later he took a woman away from a merchant's house.

If he remembered correctly, this woman named Yinxue should be Yin Yuanbin's daughter.

Yin Yuanbin is the richest man in Yinchuan. When he went on an inspection tour, Yin Yuanbin donated a lot of money to help the disaster relief, so he had some impressions in his mind.

"Chi Shuiliang, you are not safe as a woman, so don't come here alone in the future."
