Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

For a period of time after Wen Jiu and Princess Yu'an formed an alliance, Princess Yu'an would take Wen Jiu with her wherever she went.

It gives people the illusion that they are inseparable. Perhaps the person who once treated her badly is now on her side. This change makes Princess Yu'an happy.

This was the fifth time Qiao Shinian had received Mu Qingchen, who had failed in his search for Wen Jiu.

Looking at the person in front of him with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, Qiao Shinian brought out the potato chips that Wen Jiu would enjoy with him when he came back later.

"Your Highness, if you don't mind, please try the freshly made French fries." Qiao Shinian extended his hand as an invitation.

The disappointment in Mu Qingchen's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he accepted Qiao Shinian's invitation with a smile.

The fries dipped in chili powder were indeed a taste he had never tasted before. It was painful on the tip of his tongue, but it made his taste buds open.

Qiao Shinian tactfully poured him a glass of chilled hawthorn water.

"Don't be so reserved, sit down and eat together." Mu Qingchen looked up and saw Qiao Shinian's eyes sparkling, as if he was expecting something.

After thinking for a while, he added: "It's a very special food. I've never seen it before, but it's not bad."

"Hmm!" Qiao Shinian sat down, a look of joy on his face that Mu Qingchen didn't even need to observe.

"This cold drink is also quite good." Seeing this, Mu Qingchen praised again.

The corners of Qiao Shinian's mouth slightly raised, not as distant as before: "Your Highness came to see me, is there something?"

"Looking for you? I'm here to look for Wen Jiu." Mu Qingchen remained calm and took a deep breath to force back the tears. The pepper was indeed a bit spicy.

Qiao Shinian was indifferent as he ate the chili pepper. "Your Highness, you have come here five times. I don't believe that you don't know what it means if you don't find Wen Jiu more than twice. So I boldly guess that you are here to find me."

"This idea is indeed very bold." Mu Qingchen took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the oil stains on his hands.

Qiao Shinian tilted his head, his eyes full of curiosity: "So, am I right?"

"Yeah." Mu Qingchen nodded, looking at the person who was right next to him and seemed defenseless.

She was also wearing a yellow skirt and a gauze-like outer shirt today. Unlike before, she wore light makeup these days, which seemed to be there and not there. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have noticed that she was wearing any makeup.

Those eyes were pure and lively, just like a little deer.

"Your eyes are very beautiful, like a sika deer I caught last winter." Mu Qingchen couldn't help but speak out. After he finished speaking, he felt that he was very presumptuous. Why did he say his thoughts out loud?

He felt that he was being abrupt and looked at Qiao Shinian nervously, but he saw that she gave him a bright smile.

"Thank you! My nickname is Youyou, the same as the Youyou in the deer's cry. My parents said that I had a very nice voice when I was a child, and that plus these eyes, I could charm everyone." Qiao Shinian happily shared the origin of his nickname with Mu Qingchen.

After that, she quickly changed the subject: "Why did you come to see me?"

"Can you accompany me out of the palace for a walk?" Mu Qingchen expressed his intention.

Qiao Shinian was silent for a while, then looked up at Mu Qingchen and said solemnly, "Okay, but you have to ensure my safety, absolute safety. And, you have to send me back before the sun sets."

It was the first time that Mu Qingchen knew that Qiao Shinian was so afraid for his own safety. He nodded and said, "I promise you."

Qiao Shinian nodded and smiled, "Then let's go!"

This was her first time traveling alone without Wen Jiu. It was an attempt and a gamble.

She bet on her understanding of Mu Qingchen's integrity and character.

In an era where human life is worthless and in the pyramid hierarchy where power is king, she is just an ant.

Death is not a pity, no one cares.

When he stepped onto the carriage, Qiao Shinian was surprised. It seemed that Mu Qingchen was well prepared.

"Where are we going?" Qiao Shinian asked.

"Listen to music in the brothel."

"Brothel?" Qiao Shinian frowned, an uneasy thought came to her mind.

She felt that she might be too optimistic. From what she knew, brothels were not good places.

Seeing that Qiao Shinian's gaze on him was getting more and more strange, Mu Qingchen asked with a smile: "What do you think a brothel is like?"

"Half-dressed, with patrons coming and going? This is a place where primitive human mating desire prevails, with conditions even worse than a brothel. It's a low-class brothel, and a place where forced prostitution prevails." Qiao Shinian's already nervous heart became even more nervous after he said this, and sweat oozed from his palms that were clutching his clothes.

"Ahem, Miss Qiao, you may have misunderstood this." Mu Qingchen coughed twice. He never expected that Qiao Shinian could say such vicious words without blushing or beating his heart.

Qiao Shinian looked at Mu Qingchen's blushing cheeks and asked in confusion: "Hmm...what kind of place is that? Maybe my information is quite inaccurate."

All she knew was brothels, and words like "brothel" are not good words in novels.

"A brothel is a place where people listen to music and watch singing and dancing." Mu Qingchen explained.

Qiao Shinian's eyes widened slightly, but Mu Qingchen's words could not relieve her nervousness. She just smiled and nodded in response: "In this case, I was thinking dirty."

After she got off the car, she followed Mu Qingchen, carefully observing her surroundings and quickening her pace for fear of getting separated from Mu Qingchen by accident.

There are a lot of people here. The women's clothes are not as revealing as she imagined, and the men walking on the street are not as vulgar as she imagined.

It seems to be a normal high-rise building.

The one following Mu Qingchen today is still Qingyu. He has a cold face and a long sword on his waist.

Qiao Shinian didn't dare to grab Mu Qingchen's sleeve, but she seemed to be more at ease with this person whose sleeve she had grabbed once. Looking at the distance between Qingyu and Mu Qingchen, she paused slightly and stared at Qingyu with pleading eyes.

Qingyu turned around in confusion.

"Please, if there are too many people around later, I will grab your clothes and walk with you, okay?" Qiao Shinian whispered, "Otherwise we will get separated."

She didn't know much about the conditions in the brothels. As it was her first time to enter a brothel alone without Wen Jiu's company, she felt panic, fearing that she might encounter any bad things.

Qingyu frowned and wanted to refuse.

What a disgrace to pulling and tugging!

"Please." Qiao Shinian lowered his voice a bit, fearing that Mu Qingchen, who was walking in front, would hear it.

"Yeah." Qingyu nodded.

Qiao Shinian felt a lot more relaxed.

It is the busiest time of the day in the afternoon, and the further you go in, the more people there are.

Women walked by in groups of three or four.

The men here were all dressed in smart clothes, looking like elegant gentlemen, and seemed to be in pairs of two or three.

What surprised Qiao Shinian the most was that this place was very similar to the business district on the main street. Peddlers and street vendors were selling all kinds of things.

It seemed like she really had misunderstood.

Mu Qingchen looked back frequently and saw Qiao Shinian leaning against Qingyu Ji. He had expected the surprise and dazed look on her face, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he felt that it was more interesting than he had imagined.

Just when Qiao Shinian was still in shock, he had already followed Mu Qingchen into a building that looked very grand. The place was spacious, and as soon as he entered, he could see a large stage. The downstairs was almost full of people, and it seemed that this store was doing very good business.

Mu Qingchen seemed to be a distinguished guest here. When he entered the door, he was warmly greeted and led upstairs by a man who looked like a manager.

There are also scattered seats upstairs, but not many, and there is a considerable distance between each seat. There are also screens between the scattered seats as a shield.

It is abnormally much cooler upstairs than downstairs. Upon closer inspection, I found that there is an ice bucket almost every two meters upstairs, and the ice in the buckets emits a slight coolness.

"It's really luxurious. It seems like this is a very high-end music venue!" Qiao Shinian thought.

It seems to be an empty period now, and many people are chatting casually, discussing the more popular programs in the past two days, or chatting about other things.

Qiao Shinian followed Mu Qingchen closely, but did not need to pull him along as he had said to Qingyu before.

After Mu Qingchen sat down, Qiao Shinian still didn't come back to her senses. She observed everything curiously like someone who had never seen the world.
