The door opened and King Jing suddenly appeared in front of him. Gu Zhu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to him.

The man, who was in his forties and in a high position of power, was dressed in a brocade and black robe. The first thing he did was to ask him whether he had bullied a woman named Lin Qianqian. Gu Zhu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He suddenly raised his head, cupped his hands and said to King Jing, "Your Highness. I did capture her, but... I didn't do anything to her."

"She's fine, but I was the one who was beaten by her before."

Gu Zhu's calves couldn't help but tremble and cramp. Under King Jing's harsh gaze, his head drooped lower and lower.

"Oh? You didn't do anything to her? Why don't you dare to look up at me?"

King Jing's question made Gu Zhu start to wonder in her heart, when did she get to know such a powerful person as King Jing?

God, thank goodness, thank goodness...

Gu Zhu forced a smile, his eyes fixed on the ground, and said calmly, "I really didn't do anything to her. On the contrary, she stayed in Zuihuayin, and I served her well. She was cold, so I asked someone to add more clothes and charcoal for her... If you don't believe me, you can ask others. Please ask King Jing to come with me to see if she is resting."

Gu Zhu stretched his hand forward, bowed and made a polite gesture, "Please."

King Jing was confused.

He followed Gu Zhu downstairs and headed to the backyard where the brothel girls lived together.

……

Gu Huai stood in front of the door.

He stared at the two closed doors for a long time, then finally reached out and slowly pushed the doors open.

He looked up and saw a woman lying on the bed.

He ran over quickly, Li Zan glanced at Guigui and hurriedly followed him.

It turned out to be Lin Qianqian.

The woman's thin back was facing them, lying on her side on the bed, revealing a peaceful and beautiful profile. Her long black hair, like silk, was scattered on the bed, and she seemed to be asleep.

Gu Huai couldn't help but lighten his pace, and each step was silent.

He looked at Lin Qianqian's profile greedily, his breathing went from slow to rapid, and his eyes widened with excitement.

"flourishing……"

"Your Highness, please look, is Miss Qianqian safe and sound?" Guzhu invited King Jing to walk into the room, and found that there were two strange men and Guigui.

He bowed like a modest gentleman and said to Gu Huai and Li Zan, "You two must be friends of Miss Qianqian."

"I am Guzhu, the boss of Zuihuayin. This is King Jing, and he is here for Miss Qianqian as well."

King Jing looked at Gu Huai, and the moment their eyes met, the two recognized each other almost at the same time.

"Who are you?" King Jing spoke first.

Gu Huai said, "I am Gu Huai, the military equipment supervisor. I would like to greet King Jing."

King Jing's eyes moved slightly, "Who are you to Miss Lin?"

"She is my concubine. She came here for some reasons. This time I came here to take her back."

Li Zan saluted King Jing, glanced at Lin Qianqian on the bed and said, "I am Li Zan. This time I followed the Queen Mother's order to confirm Miss Lin's safety. I followed the prince all the way here."

When Gu Zhu heard this, he was horrified and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Oh my god, he almost got himself killed.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he was awakened by Lin Qianqian's scolding and did not make a big mistake.

King Jing looked at Lin Qianqian lying on the bed and asked, "Miss Lin, are you okay? Why are you lying on the bed?"

Gu Zhu said quickly, "She went out last night and caught a cold. I just asked someone to see a doctor for her. She took some medicine and went to sleep."

"Is that so? I'm relieved."

After Gu Zhu and King Jing left, Gu Huai was still sitting by the bed. He reached out and grabbed Lin Qianqian's hand and slowly held it in his hand.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard: "Wake up! Tell me why you left so suddenly! Why did you elope with a man!"
