Started from listening to music in the brothel and earned billions of bad people

"Hey—" Qing Meng hurriedly reached out, trying to call out to the maid who was leaving in a hurry. However, in the blink of an eye, the maid's figure disappeared at the end of the path like a ghost. Looking at the empty road, Qing Meng opened her mouth, but the words that were about to come out were abruptly blocked back, and she couldn't utter them.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on! You didn't even let me finish my sentence. If you don't know what's going on, just leave it at that. But you actually wasted my precious time! How rude!" Qing Meng stared at the direction where the maid disappeared with an unhappy look on her face. She muttered to herself, stomped her feet angrily, and then turned away angrily.

Unable to find out Bai Jie's exact location from the maid, Qing Meng had no choice but to continue looking for other people to ask. As she walked, she looked around, hoping to find someone who could help her as soon as possible.

Not long after, Qing Meng finally spotted a patrolling guard ahead. As if grasping a lifeline, she quickly ran forward, her face filled with anticipation as she called out to the guard, "Hey! Big brother, wait a moment, I want to ask you something! Where does Miss Bai Jie live?"

However, what Qing Meng never expected was that the guard didn't even stop for a second, but just gave a cold answer with an expressionless face: "I don't know! I don't know him!" Then he left without hesitation, leaving Qing Meng standing there in a daze.

"Damn! Who are these people? They're all so cold and heartless!" Qing Meng looked at the guards' retreating backs and couldn't help but complain. She then asked more than a dozen people, but the answers she got were all the same: either they shook their heads to indicate they didn't know, or they simply said they didn't know them.

Seeing that he had put in so much effort but still got nothing, Qing Meng felt extremely frustrated and lost, and his eyes gradually turned red.

At this moment, Qing Meng felt for the first time in her life how difficult life was...

But she couldn't disobey Li Xingyun's orders, so she had to bite the bullet and question each small courtyard one by one!

Meanwhile, in Li Xingyun's quiet and elegant courtyard, Bai Jie sat quietly in an antique pavilion, legs crossed, eyes closed, absorbed in digesting the precious memories within the inheritance bead. Her originally pale pink spiritual energy gradually changed, becoming increasingly vibrant and dazzling over time, like a blooming peach blossom, alluring and alluring.

At this moment, Arei, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth: "Your Highness, you are so mean! Qingmeng will probably have to run her legs off this time!" As she spoke, her big watery eyes blinked mischievously, her face full of teasing.

Hearing Are's words, Li Xingyun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, and responded: "Haha, let her be restless and so energetic? This king must cure this problem of hers! Moreover, it is not enough to just let her run her legs off, there is also punishment waiting for her!" After speaking, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, as if he had already thought of a plan on how to punish Qing Meng.

In the secret room of the Third Prince's study, flickering candlelight illuminated the entire room. Li Xingfan, dressed in splendid attire, sat tall and straight at his desk, gently cradling a yellowed book. His gaze wasn't fixed on the pages, but on Zhilu, the blood-stained monk standing before him.

He frowned slightly and asked with a hint of urgency: "What's the matter? Those companies haven't taken any action yet?" As he spoke, Li Xingfan gently closed the book in his hand and put it aside.

Zhilu clasped his hands together and whispered a Buddhist mantra: "Amitabha! Your Majesty, it is indeed so. Currently, everything is as calm as water, without any disturbance."

Hearing this answer, Li Xingfan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He stood up and paced back and forth in the secret room. As time passed, he became more and more anxious. If he couldn't get the palace maid out of Shenwu City safely, the subsequent operations would become increasingly difficult.

Zhilu looked at Li Xingfan's anxious expression, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and asked softly, "Your Highness, in your opinion, should we take action in advance?"

Li Xingfan stopped, turned to look at Zhilu, and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhilu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I believe that there is no such thing as absolutely perfect timing in this world. But if we continue to wait for the other princes to take action, the situation will inevitably become more complicated. By then, it will be even more difficult for us to successfully accomplish our goals."

After listening to this, Li Xingfan nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhilu's opinion. After a moment's silence, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said solemnly: "In this case, there is no need to hesitate any longer. Tonight, we will act according to the original plan!" After saying this, a hint of determination and courage flashed in his eyes.

"Yes!" Zhilu nodded and left the study.

With Zhilu's departure, the entire Han Palace began to operate quietly!

"Huh... It feels... so weird!" Bai Jie panted softly, as if she had just woken from a long, blurry dream. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, slowly opened and fixed their gaze on Li Xingyun, a look filled with innocence and confusion.

"Strange? What's strange about that?" Li Xingyun's heart tightened when he saw Bai Jie's strange reaction after waking up. He quickly stood up and walked over to Bai Jie, asking anxiously. His face was full of concern and worry, afraid that something might be wrong with Bai Jie.

Faced with Li Xingyun's rapid-fire questioning, Bai Jie just shook her head and said helplessly: "No... I don't know. The feeling is very subtle and I can't describe it! It's like... there are some strange things in my body, but I really can't figure out what it is." As she spoke, her beautiful big eyes blinked, as if trying to capture the fleeting thoughts.

Hearing Bai Jie's answer, Li Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief. He gently reached out his hand, rubbed Bai Jie's little head, and comforted her, "Well, it's okay. Maybe you just woke up and your mind is still a little fuzzy. Go back and have a good rest. Maybe after you get enough sleep, you can naturally figure out what this strange feeling is." As he spoke, the corners of Li Xingyun's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile.
