As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Che refused without hesitation, "No, the search is no joke, I can't leave it to you!"

Murong Nan just told Chu Xinyue that the backyard of Xunhuanlou has been guarded.

It would be too dangerous for the two girls to rush in rashly.

If discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Chu Xinyue also expressed her stance, "Your Majesty, I will definitely protect Concubine Xue's safety."

Murong Che still refused to agree. "Not only is Concubine Xue's safety at risk, but if anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to my fifth brother!"

"Your Majesty, Ah Yue doesn't mean that we should go alone. You can send a few skilled soldiers to secretly protect us. Ah Yue went into the backyard of Xunhuan Tower yesterday. She is very familiar with the terrain inside. With her leading the way, we will definitely find the missing child in no time."

In fact, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue had agreed to use the excuse that Chu Xinyue had been to Xunhuan Tower last night. In fact, when they entered Xunhuan Tower, the thing that would really be useful would be Xue Youli's Book of Heavenly Secrets.

By using the navigation function of the Book of Secrets, they can not only avoid the guards, but also easily find the missing children.

Chu Xinyue also said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is right. We are all women, and it will be easier for us to act after sneaking into Xunhuanlou."

Murong Che knew that they were right.

Xuan Ming went to Xunhuan Tower last night, and the information he brought back was almost the same as that brought by Murong Nan and Chu Xinyue.

Xuan Ming said that in addition to the eighteen strong and sturdy thugs in the backyard of Xunhuan Tower, there were also eight secret sentries.

These people were all very skilled in martial arts. After hearing the child's cry, he was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he didn't dare to get too close. He just silently noted the approximate direction of the sound and returned to the palace to report.

If he sent officers to surround Xunhuan Tower, there would definitely be a big commotion.

Given Murong Ye's cautious nature, by the time the officials went in to search, the child might have been quietly moved away.

The only way to save these children is to kill Murong Ye by surprise.

Xue Youli's Book of Secrets can find the specific location of the children. If she tells everyone the specific location of the children, their chances of rescuing the children will be greater.

Seeing that the man hadn't responded to them, Xue Youli continued, "Your Majesty, I promise you that not only will A Yue and I return unharmed, but we will also rescue all the missing children. Of course, in advance, Your Majesty would like to lend us some of your trusted aides who are as skilled as A Yue."

Chu Xinyue's fighting power is extremely high, and ordinary officials and guards are no match for her.

The only one who could compete with her in skills was the Dragon Shadow Guard who secretly protected Murong Che's safety.

Murong Che's brows were furrowed, and he remained silent for a long while before finally speaking. "Okay, I will order the Dragon Shadow Guards to assist you in the dark and rescue the child imprisoned in Xunhuan Tower."

Chu Xinyue is quite impressed with the strength of the Dragon Shadow Guard. After all, in her setting, the Dragon Shadow Guard is the most powerful secret guard organization in the entire novel, specifically responsible for the emperor's safety.

The two leaders of the Dragon Shadow Guard, Xuanming and Chiyan, are top-notch masters.

Seeing Murong Che agreed to let them leave the palace, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue looked at each other and happily knelt down to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

"When you are on the move, you must ensure your own safety. In case of any emergency, remember to release the signal flare, and the Dragon Shadow Guard will come to your protection as quickly as possible."

"My concubine/subject obeys your command!"

Since Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue decided to go to Xunhuanlou, they naturally had to make preparations in advance.

In order to ensure that everything goes well, the first thing Xue Youli did when he returned to Lingyun Palace was to make the poison powder to be used tonight.

After Chu Xinyue paid her respects to Empress Dowager Yin at the Cining Palace, she came over to help her.

Chu Xinyue looked at the powder of various colors in front of her, with worry and excitement in her eyes. "Ali, do you think we can successfully rescue all the children tonight?"

"Of course, we are invincible together."

Xue Youli ground the poison into powder and packed it into paper bags.

"Ali, I'll help you put it on."

"Hey! Don't touch it!" Xue Youli saw Chu Xinyue reaching out her hand and quickly blocked her hand. "This poison is very strong. If you touch it even a little, your whole body will be extremely itchy. It will make your life worse than death."

Chu Xinyue immediately retracted her hand. "This poison is quite good. What kind of poison is that white thing over there?"

"That's a drug that makes you sleepy for five hours. It's made based on the poison formula in your novel."

"I remember that when I was writing about this drug, I was suffering from insomnia and often stayed awake all night. At that time, I thought it would be great if there was a drug that could make people sleep like a dead pig just by smelling it. Later, I wrote it into this novel, and I didn't expect it to come in handy!"

"Tonight we will destroy Murong Ye's second profitable business!"

"it is good!"

……

In the evening, a carriage left the palace and headed towards the capital's most lively fireworks street.

Inside the carriage, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue both changed into men's clothes.

In order to look more masculine, they also deliberately put beards around their mouths and cheeks.

The twilight is closing, and the lanterns are starting to turn on.

Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue got off the carriage at the intersection and walked towards Xunhuan Tower side by side.

There are brothels from beginning to end in Fireworks Street. A row of lanterns are hung at the door of each brothel, and the whole Fireworks Street is lit up as if it were daytime.

At this time, girls dressed up in gorgeous clothes were standing at the door of each brothel, waving their handkerchiefs and smiling to attract customers.

"Sir, come in and play!"

"The girls here are all more beautiful than each other!"

"Sir, would you like to listen to some music? The girls in our Wanhua Tower all have voices like orioles, so beautiful!"

Unfortunately, the guests passing by didn't even look at them, and walked hurriedly towards Xunhuanlou one by one.

As they walked, they kept muttering, "Hurry, hurry! It's too late!"

Chu Xinyue watched as guests rushed into Xunhuanlou, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "Strange, why are there so many more guests in Xunhuanlou tonight than yesterday?"

"If you ask someone, you will know."

Xue Youli said this, and then he randomly grabbed a passerby and asked him about Xun Huan Lou. "Hey, is Xun Huan Lou free tonight? Why are you all rushing to Xun Huan Lou?"

Passerby A glanced at her face and replied, "You're not from here, are you? Today is Xunhuanlou's annual auction, and the drinks only cost twenty taels. The girls at the auction are all more beautiful than the other. Even if I can't take a picture, it would be worth it to see them perform on stage! Anyway, I have to hurry up and get a good seat!"

After Passerby A left, Xue Youli glanced at Chu Xinyue and said, "The girl being auctioned tonight might be related to the missing person case."

"Come on, let's go in and take a look!"

The two of them entered the door, crossed the front yard, and saw a spacious hall full of luxury and gold and jade.

The hall was already crowded with people, chirping and dancing.

Xue Youli glanced around. Although the guests were all wearing casual clothes, after looking at their identity cards, she found that many of them were officials in the court.

In the hall, near the stairs, there was a huge stage, which was decorated with red silk.

"Is this your first time here at Xunhuanlou, gentlemen? Please take a seat! The auction will begin in just one stick of incense!"

The woman who was speaking was wearing a bright red long dress, and her facial features were delicately made up, obviously she had dressed up carefully.

Seeing the two people coming in dressed in gorgeous clothes and with extraordinary temperament, she twisted her slender waist and walked in front of Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue in a charming manner.

Xue Youli found her face familiar and looked up at the top of her head.

[Name: Liu Si Niang, 31 years old, Liu San Niang's younger sister, and the head of Xun Huan Lou.]

Liu Sanniang was the head of the Xianle Painting Boat. After the Xianle Painting Boat was closed down, she was thrown into jail.

Liu Si Niang is Liu San Niang's biological sister, and the two look very similar.

However, Liu Si Niang looks much younger than Liu San Niang. The corners of her eyes are upturned, and when she smiles, her eyes are as charming as silk, which is particularly alluring.

Xue Youli was about to speak when the guests in the hall suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Diey! Diey!"

Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue were confused and looked at Liu Si Niang in confusion.

Liu Si Niang quickly explained, "Die Yi is the most popular courtesan in our Xun Huan Lou. She will be performing on stage soon."

As soon as Liu Si Niang finished speaking, a red silk thread fell from the second floor, and at the same time, flower petals fell from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a green shadow jumped from the second floor along the red silk.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the light green figure flew up lightly, slowly spinning in the air, with her clothes fluttering, and landed on the stage like a fairy descending to earth.
