Will that bitch Guan Suying be locked up and tortured endlessly? Won't she suffer even more than her husband and son?

Guan Lanzhi couldn't help but get excited whenever she thought about it.

She really hated Guan Suyi for all these years of trampling on her.

The palace maid whispered a reminder, "Your Highness, walls have ears, be careful what you say."

Guan Lanzhi stopped smiling and put on a very worried expression.

"My sister has suddenly disappeared, and I, as her younger sister, am very worried. Let's go and tell the Emperor the news, and don't forget to send a message to the Zhang family as well."

After so many years in this palace, her wish is about to be fulfilled.

How could she not be excited?

Guan Lanzhi arrived at the Emperor's palace and found the Grand Eunuch guarding the door. She could only humbly ask him to pass on her message.

She had expected to be turned away, but to her surprise, Xuanyuan Hongye met her this time.

"Your Highness Consort Lan, the Emperor is in a bad mood. Please be careful not to upset him when you go in."

The Grand Eunuch also felt that the Emperor would not see Consort Lan, after all, today was a special day.

But he still had to go in to deliver the message. As the person who served him closely, he knew that his master disliked Consort Lan. He didn't expect that the emperor would actually agree to see him when he went in.

Consort Lan entered the Emperor's bedchamber with a worried expression, only to find that it reeked of alcohol.

The emperor is drinking wine.

After bowing, Consort Lan did not rise. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I just received news from home that my sister has secretly left the Guan family and her whereabouts are unknown."

"She ran away, she ran away?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Hongye smashed the wine jug in his hand. "Does she not know what she's doing? Just like that irresponsible woman, she only sees herself!"

As she spoke, Consort Lan was suddenly pulled up. "Tell me! Isn't that right?!"

Consort Lan was startled by the sudden violence and saw that the Emperor's eyes were glazed over, and he looked quite drunk.

"Your Majesty, you are drunk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Hongye staggered toward the dragon bed and lay down on it.

Consort Lan stood there for a while, then suddenly bit her lip and walked towards the dragon bed. Looking at the man on the dragon bed, a glint flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth, took off her clothes, and climbed up.

"Your Majesty, please be gentle!"

Upon hearing this, the chief steward looked up at the sky, his heart filled with anxiety. He wanted to go in and stop them, but dared not.

Oh no, oh no! If the Emperor wakes up tomorrow, his old life is over.

……

……

The provincial capital.

As darkness fell, the streets became even quieter than during the day.

Lin Shuyun took Old Man Xu and Madam Qin on a stroll back, and they ate quite a bit of food along the way.

Just as dusk was falling, the three of them happened to pass by the entrance of a brothel, where the girls inside were dressed in their finest attire and were soliciting business.

"The brothels in this prefectural city don't even look as good as those in Wuyun County. They're really boring."

Lin Shuyun glanced at it a few more times.

Zuixianglou looks like a small building, like a teahouse, and it's rather shabby.

Old Xu burped and said, "You guys don't understand. Every year, people from above come to investigate. Local officials don't dare to do it openly. So this is a teahouse during the day. Wuyun County is different. It's just a county town. The higher-ups turn a blind eye and don't investigate much."

After saying that, he smacked his lips, indicating that he wanted to drink.

Lin Shuyun nodded and said, "I understand. The emperor is far away, so it's none of our business."

"I have a suggestion. Since we're already here, why don't we go inside and broaden our horizons? And kill some time along the way?"

Lin Shuyun tilted her head and looked inside.

She thought she had just seen a man soliciting customers to go inside, which made her even more eager to go in and take a look.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Xu immediately grabbed her arm. "Girl, this place is filthy. Let's not go in. There's nothing fun to do in the city. Let's go back to the mountains and catch rabbits tomorrow. That's more fun."

Lin Shuyun scoffed, "Old man, have you forgotten how you got caught when you tried to trap the rabbit? You're not only incompetent, but you also have a huge addiction to it."

Old Xu fell silent.

Just as they were about to find another excuse to take the person away, a drunken man stood in front of the three of them, looking at Lin Shuyun with a flirtatious smile.

"Oh my beauty, when did such a beauty arrive at Drunken Fragrance Pavilion? You'll be keeping me company tonight!"

The man reached out and hugged her as he spoke.
