Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Feng Qingyue and Ling Yuxiao looked at each other and quietly followed into the gambling house.

The dim hall was filled with smoke and the shouts of gamblers could be heard one after another.

---

Zhao Heng swaggered towards the inner room, and the gambling house owner immediately came up to him in a flattering manner.

"Mr. Zhao, you are here." The boss rubbed his hands and smiled.

Zhao Heng waved his hands impatiently: "Same old as always."

"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it for you right away." The boss nodded and said, "Please sit down and rest for a while."

The two men had just found a secluded corner to sit down, and before they could listen carefully, they saw a man in black rushing in and whispering something in Zhao Heng's ear.

---

Zhao Heng's face suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly.

"Mr. Zhao, this..." The boss stood there in a daze, holding the teacup.

"Leave it there! I'll be back soon!" Zhao Heng said and rushed out of the gambling house.

Feng Qingyue's eyes flashed: "Follow me."

The two followed Zhao Heng through the winding alleys and finally arrived at a secluded house in the north of the city.

Ling Yuxiao and Feng Qingyue jumped onto the roof lightly.

Through the gaps between the tiles, Zhao Heng was seen talking in a low voice with a figure with his back to him.

---

"...My goods will arrive at midnight three days from now." The man's voice was hoarse and low. "Is everything ready?"

Zhao Heng said respectfully, "Don't worry, sir. The guards have been replaced by our people."

"Remember, this shipment is of great importance." The man turned, the moonlight shining on the gilded token at his waist. "If anything goes wrong..."

"I understand!" Zhao Heng's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

After Zhao Heng left, Ling Yuxiao whispered, "It seems they have something important to communicate."

---

Feng Qingyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised the corner of her lips

She pulled Ling Yuxiao back to the gambling house and searched the street.

They quickly locked onto a simply dressed woman selling flowers.

"Miss." Feng Qingyue stopped her and handed her a bag of silver. "Can you do me a favor?"

The woman stepped back cautiously: "What are you going to do?"

"Go to the government office and find General Li." Feng Qingyue added another bag of silver, "and tell him that Mr. Zhao from the gambling house wants to rape you."

The woman was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly: "This, this won't do! The official needs evidence..."

"I'll help you get the evidence." Feng Qingyue stuffed two bags of silver into her hands. "These are enough for your family to spend for half a lifetime."

The woman stared at the heavy purse, bit her lip, and suddenly turned and ran towards the government office.

Ling Yuxiao raised his eyebrows: "You are..."

---

Feng Qingyue did not answer Ling Yuxiao's question, but just smiled mysteriously, turned around and walked into the gambling house.

Ling Yuxiao shook his head helplessly and followed closely behind.

The gambling house was still noisy and bustling. Zhao Heng had already returned to the gambling table and was having a great time, with a smug look on his face.

He had no idea that danger was approaching.

Feng Qingyue and Ling Yuxiao found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, observing quietly.

---

After a while, the sound of orderly footsteps was heard outside, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in aggressively.

"Don't move!" the leading general shouted sternly. It was the ruthless General Li.

The gambling house suddenly became quiet and everyone was silent.

General Li scanned the room with a sharp gaze: "Who's surnamed Zhao?"

Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, then stood up arrogantly: "Me? What happened to you, sir?" He had a disdainful smile on his face.

General Li looked at him coldly and said, "You have been accused of sexual assault. Come with us."

Zhao Heng's face changed, but he pretended to be calm: "Who? Who dares to frame me? Let her stand up!"

"Let me go with you? Do you know who I am?"

Feng Qingyue slowly stood up at this time, tears in her eyes: "General, which sister is this..." Her voice choked with sobs, and she pointed at Zhao Heng pitifully, "This Young Master Zhao last night..." Before she finished speaking, she burst into tears.

---

Zhao Heng's eyes widened: "It's you?!" He recognized Feng Qingyue and was immediately shocked and angry. "What hatred do we have? How dare you frame me like this!"

Feng Qingyue wiped her tears and continued to cry: "Last night, when Mr. Zhao saw me for the first time, he touched me and even insisted on taking me to his mansion..." She sobbed, "If my guards hadn't arrived in time, I would have..."

Zhao Heng was completely stunned. He had indeed seen Feng Qingyue last night, and he had indeed had some evil thoughts in his mind, but they were definitely not as extreme as she said.

"You, you are slandering me!" Zhao Heng was so angry that his face turned blue.

General Li snorted coldly: "Master Zhao, what else do you have to say?"

Zhao Heng suddenly remembered his identity and straightened his back: "General Li, do you know who my father is?"

"This general doesn't need to know." General Li was unmoved. "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get to the government office." He waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"

Seeing the situation was not good, Zhao Heng began to struggle desperately: "Let me go! Do you know the consequences of offending my Zhao family?" He suddenly stared at Feng Qingyue fiercely, "Who are you? Why are you trying to hurt me?"

Feng Qingyue had already wiped away her tears, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "What are you talking about, Mr. Zhao? I am just a weak woman, how dare I hurt you?"

General Li waved his hand impatiently, and the officers and soldiers carried Zhao Heng and dragged him out.

Zhao Heng continued to yell, "Bitch! Just wait! My father won't let you go!"

After Zhao Heng was taken away, the gambling house suddenly exploded.

"Oh my God, that's Minister Zhao's only son!"

"Who is this girl? How dare she touch anyone from the Zhao family?"

"General Li is also very brave. Last time, he captured Liu Ge Lao's nephew and was almost demoted to the frontier..."

The gamblers were talking about it, all wondering about the background of this woman who dared to touch the young master of the Zhao family.

Ling Yuxiao walked up to Feng Qingyue and whispered, "Your move is quite cruel."

Feng Qingyue smiled faintly: "To deal with this kind of people, you have to use this method."

---

General Li escorted Zhao Heng and before leaving the gambling house, he turned to look at Feng Qingyue and Ling Yuxiao, clasped his hands together and saluted.

He said loudly, "Thanks to your assistance today, this evildoer was brought to justice. I am deeply grateful to you."

Feng Qingyue and Ling Yuxiao smiled at each other. Feng Qingyue bowed slightly and said softly, "General Li, you are too polite. It is our common wish to eliminate harm for the people. General, you are busy with official duties, so please go first." General Li nodded and took Zhao Heng away with his officers and soldiers.

Seeing this, everyone in the gambling house started talking about it and was shocked by this sudden change.

---

Feng Qingyue looked at the gradually dispersing crowd, sighed slightly, and said to Ling Yuxiao: "Let's end today for now, and it's time for me to go home."

Ling Yuxiao quickly said, "Could you please invite me to your house for a chat? I happen to have nothing to do and would like to contribute."

Feng Qingyue originally wanted to refuse, but after a little thought, she felt that Ling Yuxiao might really be able to help, so she did not refuse.

The two men walked out of the gambling house side by side, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows out.
