My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

And just now, she saw Guo Yian leading the two guards beside him to the second floor, and they seemed to be heading in the direction where Liu Qingqing was just now.

Combined with the news he had heard from Wan Zilang and others before, Qiu Ning had reason to suspect that Liu Qingqing must have been able to escape from her status as a lowly woman and become a daughter of an official, and successfully entered the palace to participate in the selection because of her connection with Guo Yian in her previous life.

The Guo family supports the prince, and Liu Qingqing has obviously reached some kind of agreement with Guo Yian and even the queen. She helps the prince to make a splash at the palace banquet, while she herself is able to enter the palace for selection and help win the queen's favor.

Because Qiu Ning clearly remembered that the queen at that time did not deliberately target the favored Concubine Qing, it was obvious that the two of them had already made some agreement.

At this time, the lobby became quiet again. Two constables dressed in Jingzhao Yi official uniforms carried a sack and quickly walked out of the gate of Anxiang Tower.

There seemed to be a smell of blood in the air. It was not strong, but Qiu Ning noticed it quickly.

Qiu Ning narrowed his eyes and estimated the size of the sack and the weight of the constable dragging it.

As expected, the sack contained a corpse.

who can that be?

The only people who went upstairs just now, besides Guo Yian and his men, were Liu Qingqing and...

Ge Wanglong!

That’s right, considering the ashen face of Guo Yian when he walked in just now, it is not difficult to guess that Ge Wanglong should have been killed by Guo Yian.

Moreover, the government was wary of his status and did not do anything to him.

At this moment, everything seemed to make sense.

Qiu Ning did not stay any longer and immediately got up and left Anxiang Tower.

She was going to find Wan Zilang and the others to help find out about the family situation of the fifth-rank official in her previous life and make arrangements in advance. If Guo Yian really redeemed Liu Qingqing and replaced the identity of an official's daughter, she must obtain relevant evidence.

This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

Moreover, if Liu Qingqing really enters the palace, she will be a formidable rival to Wan Rongyue.

Qiu Ning had to be on guard.

In order to save time, Qiu Ning chose to take a shortcut to the Wan family.

As a result, when passing by a street, he happened to see a half-grown child with tattered clothes and dirty body arguing with a middle-aged couple.

"Let me go! I don't want to go back with you. You damned ants, you beasts! How dare you break my legs? I will make sure my father kills your entire clan."

Hearing this familiar voice and tone, Qiu Ning's hurried steps suddenly stopped.

At this time, the middle-aged woman said with a look of anxiety and even some heartache:

"My child, I know you're afraid of pain and don't want to have your bones set, but the doctor said that if you don't get treatment in time, you'll never be able to stand up again. My dear child, I was wrong to be so mean just now. Hurry up and get up and go back with me."

Xiao Yuche fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him in disbelief, and asked the people around him for help:

"No, you're not my mother. Everyone, please save me. I really don't know this woman..."

However, the middle-aged man beside him suddenly frowned and lectured him, "Rebellious son, what are you talking about? It's clearly you who broke your leg while playing around, and now you're afraid of the pain and don't want to get treatment, yet you can even come up with such a lie.

Do you know how much suffering your mother went through when she had a difficult delivery and gave birth to you? How dare you deny your own mother?

I even know exactly where and how many moles there are on your butt. Hurry up and go home with me quickly, or I'll break your other leg."

After hearing this, the people watching around finally realized that the child had broken his leg while playing, and was unwilling to get treatment, so he was throwing a tantrum in the street with the adults.

"Oh, boy, your leg condition is so serious. If you don't get treatment, you will really become a cripple. Be a man, grit your teeth and endure it, and it will be over. Go with your parents to get treatment." An old lady with a basket saw this and persuaded him with heartache.

"No, Auntie, I really don't know these two people. They are human traffickers." Xiao Yuche tried to explain.

"Okay, kid, you're angry with your parents. If you were really a human trafficker, who would take you to get your leg treated? It's good enough that they didn't cripple you." A woman holding a child also said.

Seeing that the people around him refused to believe him, Xiao Yuche became completely panicked.

"Things are not what you think. They are really not my parents. They are both scammers. Everyone, report them to the police and have them arrested."

However, after shouting for a long time, no one around moved. Everyone even looked at him with a rather speechless expression.

"Boy, you said these are not your parents, then where are your parents? How can you, a grown-up, leave the house alone?" An old lady who was buying groceries suddenly asked.

"I..." Xiao Yuche thought of something and stood up with difficulty, supporting himself with his other leg. He tilted his neck and said, "I am the crown prince of the current dynasty. I promise you that if anyone can send me to the palace, I will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land. Oh, and countless beauties and gorgeous clothes. In short, whatever you want, this crown prince can satisfy you."

Xiao Yuche didn't want to reveal his identity so publicly, because he knew that if his father and mother knew about it, he would definitely be punished.

But right now, he couldn't care less.

After sneaking out of the East Palace last night, his silver and jade pendants were first stolen. Not long after, the gang deliberately kidnapped him and sent him to the back door of a Nanfeng Pavilion.

He heard with his own ears in the sack that the kidnappers sold him to the Nanfeng Pavilion for ten taels of silver.

Not long after that, he was locked up again in a luxuriously decorated room, where the huge bed was particularly conspicuous.

Xiao Yuche wanted to escape, but the door suddenly opened and a middle-aged man with a bloated body and a fat face walked in. He was staring at him with a squinting expression and drooling in his mouth.

Xiao Yuche suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted at the other party: "How dare you! Who are you? If you don't let me go immediately, I will kill all your clans!"

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter, with tears in his eyes.

"Hahaha, you're really funny, are you going to role-play with me?"

The next second, the middle-aged man's tone changed and he taunted, "If you are the prince, then I am still the Jade Emperor. Do you believe it?"

Xiao Yuche was dumbfounded!

"No, I am indeed the crown prince. If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around to see if I look like him."

However, the other party didn't believe it at all. "Do you think the prince is a cabbage on the street? Why would the prince come to a place like this instead of staying in the palace? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you."

Then, the man stopped talking and quickly stripped off all his clothes. He rushed towards Xiao Yuche with a lewd smile on his face, saying:

"I've really found a treasure today. You look so delicate and tender. It must be a real pleasure to serve you."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuche was so frightened that his pupils almost shattered.

He no longer cared about anything else and ran towards the door. However, he pulled the bolt several times but it didn't budge at all.

Behind him, the middle-aged man was like a hungry wolf, approaching him step by step with a fierce look in his eyes.
