Drunk Bamboo

Hongmei has been in the world of brothels for many years. She has seen many men of all kinds and witnessed the fickleness of the world.

The eyes they cast were obscene, greedy, lustful, shameless, and lustful...

Disgusting.

The two men in front of me——

One of them is a prince and the other is a minister.

They have status, position and power.

Their eyes were pure and clear, looking at her as if she were an ordinary person.

"Gingxing is Han Xin's concubine, why is she here with you?"

"because this."

"Note?"

The note handed over by Hongmei made Zhang Xinghe confused.

"Someone left a message in my room this morning saying that my sister was in a mass grave outside the city and was in critical condition. They asked me to go and save her as soon as possible."

"I thought it was strange, but it was related to my sister's safety, so I changed my clothes and left the city. And sure enough, I found my sister."

Hongmei explained everything in detail and Zhang Xinghe watched her every move.

The girls in Taohua Tower mostly wear brightly colored clothes, put rouge and powder on their faces, smell of pollen on their bodies, and have dreamy looks in their eyes.

The red plum in front of me was dressed in plain clothes, had a plain face, and a sad look in her eyes, without any of the fawning attitude of a prostitute.

In the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Xinghe is good at interrogating prisoners. His eyes are sharp and no one can lie under his nose.

But Hongmei not only did not dodge, but faced him directly, as if to prove that what she said was true.

"Why don't you ask the doctor to save the person, but ask the prince?"

Zhang Xinghe was not moved and was very rational.

Hua Qinfeng folded his hands across his chest, sitting quietly aside, not intending to speak.

This is Zhang Xinghe's strong point, and he observed and learned by the way.

Hongmei lowered her eyes, covered her face and was about to cry.

"My sister and I were both lonely and had similar experiences since childhood. Later, we both entered Taohualou and became courtesans. Although my sister worked in a brothel, she was untainted by the world. I found it strange that she agreed to enter the Han Mansion."

"I asked my sister, but she didn't say anything."

"During that time, I noticed that she didn't look well. It turned out that..."

He looked at Hua Qinfeng guiltily, as if he really didn't know about the Ginkgo assassination.

With tears in the corners of her eyes, she flicked her sleeves and returned to the main topic.

"My sister was injured when she entered the Han Mansion. Minister Han is in a high position and has great power. I am worried that the Han Mansion will know that I went to the city to find a doctor. I can only ask the prince to save my sister."

Hongmei's explanation was reasonable and her eye expressions and movements were spot on. To most people, she looked absolutely innocent.

Zhang Xinghe is not an ordinary person.

"So Miss Hongmei doesn't know anything?"

"I didn't know my sister would assassinate the prince!" Hongmei's eyes were full of panic and she denied it flatly.

Zhang Xinghe remained silent, waiting to see what she would say next.

Sure enough, Hongmei began to speak pitifully again:

"But my sister must have her own reasons. She has no grudge against the prince. Someone must have threatened my sister. Maybe it was Lord Han."

Zhang Xinghe's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly:

"The Ministry of Justice will investigate who is behind Ginkgo, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Yes Yes."

"Don't dare to speak nonsense, don't dare to speak nonsense."

Hongmei didn't dare to say much in front of this man, for fear of accidentally exposing her true identity.

I can only play the victim and act pitiful.

"My sister and I agreed that we would live together when we saved enough money. My sister and I bought this yard together, but I didn't expect that she would..."

The next second, the pear blossoms were in the rain again, and Hongmei wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Such a charming and lovely girl would make anyone feel soft-hearted.

But the man in front of her remained indifferent.

The other two also showed no mercy.

Hongmei thought: Are these three men?

I don't know how to cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade at all.

Hua Qinfeng didn't want to listen to her crying anymore and frowned in annoyance.

"I owe you a favor, so why didn't you ask me to take you out of Taohua Tower before? In this way, there wouldn't be any follow-up matters."

Hongmei's face turned pale immediately.

"Your Majesty is a noble person. How dare I really ask you to do anything? If my sister wasn't in danger, I wouldn't beg you."

"You are a sentimental person." Hua Qinfeng did not expose her.

Stand up and look down at the red plum blossoms.

"I hope that after she wakes up, she will come to her senses and reveal the mastermind behind this."

"Don't waste your sister's good intentions."

His eyes were fierce and chilling.

"I will persuade my sister to turn back."

Cold sweat broke out on Hongmei's palms.

"That's best."

Hua Qinfeng withdrew his gaze.

At this time, the door opened and Xie Yuzhu walked out.

"She's awake."

"Sister is awake! I'm going to go see her!"

Hongmei hurried into the house.

Before the others arrived, he said loudly:

"Sister, you finally woke up! I found your poisoned sister in the mass grave and begged the Wind King for help. It was the princess who saved your life."

"Sister, please don't do stupid things again."

Just a few words to explain the whole story.

Hongmei and Ginkgo looked at each other.

Ginkgo understood immediately.

I was confused at first, but now I know how I survived.

"...Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess, for saving my life." The voice was weak.

"This king never owes favors to anyone."

Hua Qinfeng was merciless, "But your assassination of the king is another matter."

Ginkgo was stunned.

Xie Yuzhu had just looked at the injuries on her body. There were countless external injuries, as well as internal injuries, and there was also a deadly poison spreading throughout her body.

She was the murderer who assassinated Hua Qinfeng, and I hated her so much before.

Now seeing her lying there with only one breath left, he didn't hate her so much. It was as if God was punishing her for her mistake.

"Perhaps it is not your fate, or perhaps God wants you to make amends for your mistakes."

Live your life and tell the truth.

There are no witnesses or evidence in the Loushan case anymore. This is the evidence sent to them by God.

She smiled faintly, "It just so happens that I got a new medicine recently. I just made a detoxification pill. It is effective for the poison in your body."

"But you have been poisoned for a long time, and your internal organs have failed. I cannot repair them."

"Princess, do you mean that my sister won't live long?"

Hongmei looked ashen.

Ginkgo is very peaceful.

"Detoxify first, and then we can talk about the future."

If you take good care of yourself after detoxification, you may be able to live another two or three years.

Even if Xie Yuzhu didn't say it, the other two should have thought about it.

Before looking for Hua Qinfeng, Hongmei gave Ginkgo the detoxification pills from the Nanjiang tribe, but the poison made by the imperial concubine was really difficult to detoxify.

Hongmei had no choice but to find Hua Qinfeng.

"Don't worry, Princess. I was the one who assassinated the prince. I deserve to die."

There was no desire to survive on Ginkgo's face.

"Sister, what are you talking about!"

"Sister, go back to Taohua Tower quickly and don't let anyone know that you and I are together. I am a murderer and I will implicate you..."

If the Imperial Concubine wants her to die, she won't be able to survive.

Ginkgo fainted halfway through his words.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you!" Hongmei looked at Xie Yuzhu anxiously.

"There's still some poison in her body. She needs more rest."

Xie Yuzhu glanced at Hua Qinfeng and said, "I have to make medicine when I go back."

"I'll go back with you."

Her meaning was obvious.

If we interrogate Ginkgo now, not only will we not get anything out of him, we might even force him to death.

"The people stay here, I will send people to guard it, and it will be convenient for Yuzhu to detoxify."

"I understand. No one else in the Ministry of Justice will know about this."

Zhang Xinghe also meant this.

"I'm on duty. I can't be out for too long, lest anyone get suspicious."

Several people were about to leave, and their eyes fell on Hongmei at the same time.

"I'll stay and take care of my sister."

He added, "I will persuade my sister to tell the truth."

This is exactly what Hua Qinfeng wanted to hear.

"Does Taohualou need someone to help you find a legitimate reason to go out for a few days?"

Hongmei shook her head. She had already made arrangements for this.

"Mr. Wu from the west of the city invited me to dance at his mansion. I need to stay for a few days. Mother Taohua agreed. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Before leaving, Hua Qinfeng glanced at Chaoyang, who understood and stayed to look after Hongmei.
