In the Prince Chu's Mansion, everyone was still waiting for Ling Jinlan to have dinner together.

It was almost dark, but Ling Jinlan still hadn't arrived.

"Why is Jinlan taking so long to get the snacks? I left earlier, why are you waiting so long?" Ling Chaowen started to get worried.

At this moment, a guard came to report: "The guards from Duke Ling's Mansion want to see you."

"It is said that Miss Ling Er disappeared after going to buy snacks."

Upon hearing this, several people's expressions changed.

Ling Chaowen's heart sank. "Oh no! Something must have happened! If I had known, I would have waited for her!"

"How could he disappear with guards following him?"

The person Jiang Ningwan could think of at this moment was Qin Beihuang.

That jade hairpin killed his unborn child, and there was no way he wouldn't take revenge.

Recently, we assigned more guards to protect Ling Jinlan, but unexpectedly, something happened.

She immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to find Qin Beihuang!"

"It must have been him!"

Ling Chaowen also stood up, "I'll go with you."

Soon, the two arrived at Prince Yi's Mansion.

After knocking on the door.

The doorman saw her face full of shock and said, "General Jiang... General Jiang."

"I want to see Qin Beihuang. Is he in the mansion?"

"Let me go and inform them!"

But after waiting for a while, the person who came was not Qin Beihuang, but Princess Yi.

Princess Yi came hurriedly, smiling.

"Ning Wan is here, come in quickly, being here feels like home, no need to be polite!"

Princess Yi pulled her arm affectionately, and only then did she see Ling Chaowen beside Jiang Ningwan.

The rumors outside that the brother and sister have not severed their relationship turned out to be true.

"Oh, Duke Ling, you are here! Please come in!"

Jiang Ningwan broke free from her hand and said, "I'm here to find Qin Beihuang!"

Princess Yi was afraid that she would run away, so she quickly said, "Beihuang will be here soon! Come in and sit down for a while."

"No need, I'll wait for him at the door."

Princess Yi was not surprised at her indifference. Instead, she asked in a gentle voice, "What do you want from him?"

Ling Chaowen took over and angrily said, "My sister is missing. Is he responsible? If anything happens to my sister, I won't forgive him!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Yi's expression changed, "Missing?"

"Beihuang didn't go out today, but that Lu Qingheng..."

At this point, Princess Yi's face turned extremely ugly. "This little bitch, she looked so well behaved a few days ago, so I let her rest for two days. I didn't expect her to go out and cause trouble again!"

"Sooner or later, our whole family will be killed!"

Finally, Qin Beihuang arrived.

He was wearing a newly changed dark-colored robe with gold patterns, and he looked energetic and awe-inspiring.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but frown, looking at Qin Beihuang in front of her with some surprise, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

"What do you want from me?"

Jiang Ningwan came back to her senses, "Jinlan is missing, was it you who did it?"

"If you have conditions, you can raise them."

She knew that if Qin Beihuang kidnapped Ling Jinlan, he must have some ulterior motive.

If Qin Beihuang just wanted to avenge the murder of Ling Jinlan, he would not have kidnapped people openly in Kyoto City.

Qin Beihuang's expression froze slightly. "Ling Jinlan is missing? You suspect me?"

It turns out that I have become this kind of person in Jiang Ningwan's heart.

"Apart from you and Lu Qingheng, who else could it be?"

"Don't say you know nothing about what Lu Qingheng did."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me your conditions! What will it take for you to release him?"

Jiang Ningwan's tone was unhappy and impatient, and Qin Beihuang couldn't get a word in.

"not me!"

"I'll help you find it."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan no longer hesitated and turned to leave.

Planning to find Lu Qingheng.

The two of them asked around to find out where Lu Qingheng had gone, searching all over Kyoto.

Ling Chaowen said with some confusion: "This Qin Beihuang is really strange. A grown man still draws his eyebrows."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked, "What? He drew his eyebrows?"

"Yes."

Jiang Ningwan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she felt something was strange when she first saw Qin Beihuang, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

"You have a good eye!"

Ling Chaowen added, "And the clothes he's wearing are also newly tailored, made of the latest fashionable material. Man Tingfang came to make a suit for me a few days ago, saying that the material is very valuable."

"Look at how poor Prince Yi's Mansion is. Where does he get the money?"

"And the jade hairpin Jinlan gave him caused the death of his child, and he even said he would help us find Jinlan. How weird."

The more Ling Chaowen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

At this moment in Prince Yi's Mansion.

Princess Yi was furious. "Why did you bring that troublemaker back? She's Duke Ling's sister!"

"Noble Concubine Rong has given birth to another little princess and is enjoying the emperor's favor. The Ling family and Jiang Ningwan are now at the peak of their power. To offend them is to seek death!"

Qin Beihuang's expression was solemn, and he felt inexplicably depressed. "I'll go find her."

……

Spring Rain Tower.

In the backyard, several men in black carried sacks and quickly entered the woodshed, opened the door to the secret passage and walked in.

The man in the sack was thrown heavily onto the cold ground.

Ling Jinlan woke up in pain and struggled out of the sack with her hair disheveled.

The dark environment was filled with a damp smell.

There was only a candle lit on the small table in front, and the faint light could barely make out the person sitting on the chair next to him - Lu Qingheng.

"It's you!" Ling Jinlan was shocked.

Lu Qingheng bent down, his eyes cold, and pinched her face.

"At such a young age, you have a vicious mind!"

"Did Jiang Ningwan ask you to use the jade hairpin to harm my unborn child?"

Lu Qingheng pinched Ling Jinlan's cheeks hard, causing them to turn red and hurt.

"What hosta? I don't know."

Hearing this, Lu Qingheng snorted coldly, "I already know it all. You gave me that jade hairpin. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it."

"Do you know where this place is?"

"Borthello."

"This is where you belong."

Lu Qingheng's eyes were cold. He let go of Ling Jinlan and took off the hairpin on her head.

He stood up slowly and said, "Serve her well!"

After saying that, Lu Qingheng walked away.

Ling Jinlan struggled desperately, tears in her eyes, "Let me go! My sister won't let you go!"

Lu Qingheng smiled coldly, and continued walking. "I'll ask your sister to accompany you."

Soon, Lu Qingheng's figure disappeared in the underground dark room, and the sound of a door closing was heard from above.

Several men in black were ready to fight and headed towards Ling Jinlan.

Ling Jinlan dodged in fear, and the look in his eyes beneath his messy hair became cold and murderous.

……

Before they knew it, night had fallen and Jiang Ningwan and Ling Chaowen had returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

Prepare to send more manpower to search the entire Kyoto.

But at this moment, a letter was received.

There was a hairpin and a sentence in the letter.

"Come alone at Chunyu Tower at midnight, or your sister's reputation will be in jeopardy."

"This is Lu Qingheng's handwriting."

When Jiang Ningwan saw the three words "Chunyu Tower", her eyebrows jumped. This is a brothel!

She couldn't wait until the hour of Hai and wanted to set off immediately.

"I'll go check it out first. Ling Chaowen, bring some people to Chunyu Tower to pick me up!"

Chunyu Tower is very big. If we take people directly to Chunyu Tower, we are afraid that Lu Qingheng will be forced into a corner and it will be detrimental to Ling Jinlan.
