Song Bushi looked at the man at the next table again. Sure enough, he could only cry silently and serve his wife carefully.

The fat woman was very disgusted with her husband.

He sighed and said, "I don't know where I can find a young man I like, to take home and give birth to a precious daughter."

The old woman opposite said, "If you want to have a beautiful daughter, you must find a good-looking husband! Otherwise, you can go to Yangliu Lane to have a look. I heard that the prostitutes in Yumian Restaurant and Qingfeng Tower are all good. They are all outstanding in appearance, tall and strong, and simply charming!"

The fat woman licked her face and asked, "Really? That must be a lot of money, right?"

The old woman took out a bag of silver and threw it to her, "Go and have fun, this should be enough."

"Thank you, mother. I will definitely work hard and make sure I give birth to a big fat girl next year to make you happy."

The fat woman put the silver in her pocket and didn't want to look at her husband any more. "You and mother go back first. I won't be going home tonight."

The man pulled her dress and said carefully, "Madam, do you really want to go to that kind of place? It's so dirty... I... I will try my best... to serve you well..."

"Forget about you. You haven't given birth to a daughter in three years, and you still have the nerve to say that you're working hard. Come on, come on, don't spoil my fun."

The fat woman walked away, and the man started to cry.

Song Bushi asked Murong Xian, "Are the Jade Noodle House and the Green Wind Tower the Red Light Alley?"

Murong Xian nodded, "That's right. It's just that men receive guests and women spend money."

Song Bushi suddenly realized.

If she wasn't in a hurry to find Qin Moyu, she would like to go and see it for herself.

At this time, the women at the table behind him also started gossiping, "Hey, have you heard? A young man has come to the Jade-faced Prostitute. He is very handsome, and the price he offered is extremely high, it is simply outrageous."

Another asked, "How much is it?"

"Ten thousand silver coins! Only enough to sleep for one night."

Another woman said, "That's too much, isn't it? Is that thing inlaid with gold?"

The woman laughed obscenely. "I don't know whether it's inlaid with gold or not, but I heard that everyone who has seen it is like crazy, attracted and shocked by its appearance! If it weren't too expensive, I'm afraid many people would spend all their money to buy it."

"Isn't that too exaggerated? You sound like you've seen it before. No matter how beautiful it is, it just has two eyes, a nose and a mouth, and it can also grow flowers."

Song Bushi was also ashamed when he heard what the two said.

As a modern person, she feels a little embarrassed. She is indeed heroic.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the woman say, "I have never seen him, but people who have heard of him say that he looks like an immortal who has descended to earth! He is stunning in his white clothes, and what's even more amazing is that his hair is blue, a very beautiful blue..."

Song Bushi rushed over, grabbed the woman's collar and asked, "Where is that man?"

The woman was shocked, but she quickly reacted and asked, "Who are you? Are you sick? Why are you grabbing me? Let me go."

"Let me ask you, where is that blue-haired handsome man you mentioned just now?"

Murong Xian also came over. She had a powerful majesty about her and her eyes were filled with the domineering aura of a superior.

When the woman saw that Song Bushi had help, she didn't dare to argue with her.

He answered honestly, "In... I think he is in the Jade Face Pavilion, or maybe in the Green Wind Tower. I don't know the details, but I heard someone say so... It may not be true. Why are you two so excited?"

Song Bushi left her and turned away.

Murong Xian chased after him, "No, I'll take you to find it."

**

Nanyang Palace.

Yuwen Tai, as well as a group of princes and princesses, and all civil and military officials were keeping vigil in Jing'an Hall.

There were monks chanting sutras in the mourning hall, mixed with some people's crying, and the atmosphere was extremely sad.

As the Princess of Heng, Liang Yuxuan naturally had to attend.

At this time, she knelt beside Aoxue and Aoshuang, silently observing everyone present.

As the new emperor, Yuwen Tai was responsible for arranging all funeral affairs.

He was kneeling in the front, silently shedding tears and burning paper, looking like a truly filial son.

There was not a single official who did not praise him.

His father-in-law suddenly came in from outside, bent forward and whispered to him in a low voice.

Liang Yuxuan pricked up her ears, but still couldn't hear clearly.

But she judged from her father-in-law's mouth shape that he mentioned King Heng.

Yuwen Tai's face changed drastically. He handed the things in his hand to Yuwen Yue, then left in a hurry.

Liang Yuxuan paused for a while, told Aoxue that she had a stomachache, and got up and left.

She followed Yuwen Tai's footsteps, came to the outside of the imperial study, found a secret corner, and eavesdropped on the conversation inside the room.

"Smallpox? What a good excuse."

Yuwen Tai's voice was filled with anger, "They are all useless. They can't even handle a small matter!"

The eunuch advised, "Your Majesty, all the people you sent have been killed. Prince Heng is indeed very powerful! The twelve masters under his command are all top masters. Over the years, these people have branches all over the country, and they respond to a call! The most terrifying thing is that these people only listen to Prince Heng! The late emperor once tried to win them over, but he failed!"

Yuwen Tai gradually calmed down, "So, I have no way to deal with those two brats now?"

Liang Yuxuan felt relieved. It seemed that Wei Zhong protected Ranran and Youyou very well!

"Your Majesty, don't we still have the Princess of Heng? The Prince of Heng dotes on her so much. As long as you hold her tightly in your hands, why would you be afraid of the Prince of Heng? Besides, there has been no news for so long, it is probably that she is in danger. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."

Yuwen Tai took a sip of tea and took a deep breath.

He sighed, "I always feel uneasy if I don't see his body for a day! Also, the throne came too easily, and my father's death was also strange... I always feel uneasy!"

The eunuch smiled and said, "Perhaps too many things have happened recently and the emperor is too tired. Once the funeral is over and everything is settled, he will no longer be so worried!"

"Maybe."

Yuwen Tai put down his tea, stood up and said, "Since they have already entered Hengjiang City, let's forget it. We have lost too many people. Now is the time to use more people. I must conserve my energy. I don't believe that even if I gather all the capable people in the world, I can't defeat a group of rabble! One day, my horse's hooves will trample through the gates of Hengjiang City, and they will kneel to welcome me!"

He fantasized about that day coming and smiled happily.

The eunuch handed over a list, "Your Majesty, this is the list of concubines to be buried with you. There are a total of 48 people! There are also more than a hundred palace maids. Do you think this is enough?"

Yuwen Tai glanced at it, saw Zhang Ruxin's name, and asked in a low voice, "She didn't make a fuss, did she?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine Ru is truly devoted to the Emperor and is very willing to be buried with him. The other concubines are crying and wailing, but she is the calmest and seems to be looking forward to that day."

Yuwen Tai sneered, "Very good."

"By the way, you just said there was news about King Heng? Is that true?"
