After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Cui Rongrong knew very well that if she could follow this clue and investigate further, she would have the opportunity to uncover more secrets that would be beneficial to her.

"Since Miss Cui has no objection, we will take action tomorrow. However, in order to facilitate the action, you have to change into men's clothes." Lin Yuanming proposed specific arrangements.

The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Cui Rong changed into a dark blue robe embroidered with gold and covered with a fiery red fox fur coat. She stood in front of a small and elegant teahouse near Luoxian Tower, waiting for Lin Yuanming's arrival.

In the sunlight, her figure appeared particularly tall and heroic, completely different from her usual gentle image.

When Lin Yuanming first saw her, he was dazed for a moment and almost failed to immediately recognize that the person in front of him was the usually gentle and lovely Cui Rong.

At this moment, her already pretty face had a more heroic air. This unique temperament attracted the attention of passers-by around her. They whispered and guessed which family this handsome young man belonged to.

"The Cui family's daughter was so dressed that even Lin could hardly recognize her."

Lin Yuanming smiled and said, "When we enter Luoxian Tower later, those snobbish waiters will see you like this and they won't dare to look down on us!"

"Lord Lin ordered me to dress appropriately, so I naturally dare not neglect it."

Cui Rongrong looked past the crowd and towards the bustling Luoxian Tower not far away. Even in the daytime, the place was packed with guests and extremely lively.

"Since Lord Lin is accompanying us personally, we should cherish our time and make a quick decision."

Lin Yuanming nodded in agreement, and the two walked side by side into Luoxian Tower.

When the guy greeting them at the door saw them, his eyes moved swiftly, looking these two extraordinary guests up and down.

When he saw Cui Rong's luxurious clothes, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Alas, I am short-sighted. Judging from your demeanor, it seems that this is your first time visiting our Luoxian Tower. This is one of the most romantic places in the capital. If you want any kind of beauty to accompany you, just tell me. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Seeing this, Lin Yuanming stood in front of Cui Rongrong, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly: "Wang Er, it's only been a few days since we last met, don't you recognize me, Lin?"

Wang Er glanced at him, the smile on his face faded a little, and he quickly apologized, "Ah, Lord Lin, you are our honored guest. How dare I forget your name? I was just attracted by the elegance of this young man for a moment, and I didn't notice Lord Lin's arrival. It's really a sin."

"This is my best friend. It's a rare opportunity for him to come to the capital."

Lin Yuanming deliberately put on a look of disdain and said half-jokingly, "Can you entertain me better than me? I want to see Miss Lanxiang today, go and invite her over."

"Bring some fine wine and the most exquisite food. I will do my best to entertain this distinguished guest tonight!"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Wang Er's face, but it was quickly replaced by a professional smile. The change was subtle but could not escape the eyes of careful people.

When he heard Cui Rongrong mention the friendship between Lin Yuanming and Miss Lanxiang, his expression, which was full of flattery just now, instantly became restrained and formal, "Miss Lanxiang is indeed very busy, I'm afraid you two will need to wait for a while..."

Before he finished speaking, a heavy silver coin had quietly slipped into his sight, sparkling with an alluring luster.

Cui Rongrong's voice was deep and powerful. "Could you please be lenient with me?"

Wang Er was quick to take the silver and his attitude changed 180 degrees. "No, no, it's a piece of cake! I will arrange the best seat for you right away! However, I'm afraid it's difficult to take care of Miss Lanxiang alone. Do you need another beautiful girl to accompany you and add some fun?"

He then added, "It just so happens that there are several new beauties here today, all of whom are both talented and beautiful. If you have taken a fancy to any of them, just let me know and I, Wang Er, will immediately arrange for them to be in your place!"

Cui Rong nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Er became more attentive and led the two of them through the lobby with carved beams and painted buildings, and along the winding stairs to a private room on the second floor with a wide view.

The private room is located in a prime position in the pavilion. Through the half-open carved wooden window, one can have a panoramic view of the lively scene on the first floor, with all kinds of people walking around, making it very lively.

Wang Er respectfully wrote down the delicacies Lin Yuanming had selected, then bowed and left the room.

There were only two people left in the room. Cui Rong turned around and asked Lin Yuanming with a questioning look in her eyes: "Lord Lin often comes here, why doesn't the gatekeeper seem to be very enthusiastic about you?"

Lin Yuanming smiled awkwardly and said self-deprecatingly: "I came here not to drink too much nor to indulge in beautiful women. I just wanted to find out about famous doctors and good medicines that can cure my wife's stubborn illness. They can't get much from me, so naturally they treat me coldly."

"Thanks to Miss Cui, I was able to truly experience the hospitality of a VIP this time." Lin Yuanming's words were full of gratitude.

Just as Cui Rong was about to respond, a melodious sound of stringed instruments suddenly came from downstairs, interrupting her thoughts.

The two of them couldn't help but look outside, and saw in the center of the stage, a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes and with a plump figure, swaying her waist from side to side and walking towards the front of the stage in an exaggerated posture.

The woman's voice was shrill and her laughter was sharp, like an old hen's. "My dear gentlemen, today we have three new beauties waiting to be married. The old rules apply. The one with the highest bid will win. You must seize the opportunity!"

"These three girls are all beautiful. No matter which one you get, it will be a great fortune and a huge win!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the guests in the audience out of the corner of her eye, as if assessing their reactions.

The guests started to make noises, and someone shouted impatiently, "Mom, don't keep us in suspense, let the girls come out and show us!"

"Yes, we are not here to see you!" another person echoed.

The woman chuckled upon hearing this, with a hint of pride in her voice, "Okay, okay, let them come out and meet you gentlemen!"

As she clapped her hands vigorously, the curtain on the stage slowly opened, and three women draped in gauze, half visible and half invisible, walked slowly into the center of the stage like fairies descending to earth.

Although their faces were young, they could not hide their natural beauty, which made the guests at the banquet even more excited.

Cui Rongrong frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with the sudden noise. Just as she was about to get up and close the window to get a moment of peace and quiet, bursts of panicked screams suddenly broke out downstairs.

Her movements came to an abrupt halt, and her sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a woman struggling to make her way through the crowd, trying to escape from this dangerous place.
