Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Liuli's excited expression immediately turned into panic.

She knelt down again with a thud, her body trembling slightly with fear.

"What's wrong with you?" Lian Rongrong asked with concern.

Liuli realized that Lian Rongrong seemed unaware of her identity.

But the jade pendant was indeed hanging on Lian Rongrong's waist.

Liuli dared not gamble; she only vaguely said to Lian Rongrong:

"It's alright, Your Highness, please forgive me. I just suddenly don't feel like learning anymore. I'll take my leave!"

Before Lian Rongrong could say anything more, Liuli had already gotten up and left Mingyue Hall without looking back.

Only Lian Rongrong and Lan Xin remained standing there, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on?" Lian Rongrong asked Lan Xin with a surprised look.

Lan Xin glanced at the jade pendant at Lian Rongrong's waist. Somewhat uncertainly, she replied:

"It seems that she started behaving this way after seeing your jade pendant."

Upon hearing this, Lian Rongrong lowered her head and looked at her waist. She reached out and took off the jade pendant, examining it closely.

This jade pendant was given to her by Li Yuanqi himself when she and Li Yuanqi escaped back to Dasheng.

Lian Rongrong vaguely remembered that Li Yuanqi had said that this jade pendant could be used to mobilize all his power in Dasheng.

So, if Liuli was really flustered after seeing the jade pendant, wouldn't that prove that Liuli was also under Li Yuanqi's control?

No! Perhaps it's not just glass!

Lian Rongrong suddenly thought of a possibility. She looked up at Lan Xin and asked:

Where is the Mandarin Duck Tower?

Lanxin was a little confused by the question, but she still answered truthfully, "On Baihua Street."

"Okay, I'll go out for a bit. You and Mingyue are in charge here!"

Lian Rongrong didn't offer any further explanation and turned to leave, leaving Lan Xin standing there, looking completely bewildered.

However, neither of them noticed that there was another pair of eyes watching them from the corner.

The owner of those eyes was Hua Ling, who had returned.

【Master, why are you in such a hurry? Are you going to visit a brothel in broad daylight?】

As Lian Rongrong rushed towards Baihua Street, Xiao Bai's voice echoed in her mind.

"Didn't you sense Liuli's panic just now?" Lian Rongrong communicated with Xiaobai using her consciousness.

I sensed it; she was terrified.

"I have the same feeling. That's why I want to find out."

"Is this how Master goes?" Little White hit the nail on the head.

"You really reminded me. Let's go to the clothing store first."

As she emerged from the clothing store, Lian Rongrong had changed into a dashing set of men's clothing.

When we arrived at Yuanyang Tower, it was still early. There was no one to greet us at the entrance.

"Should we wait a little longer?" Xiaobai said, but there was a hint of regret in his tone.

Why do you sound like you're in such a hurry?

"How could that be? Master, please don't frame me. I am a legitimate spirit pet."

Lian Rongrong smiled and shook her head, then strode forward and knocked on the door of Yuanyang Tower.

"Who is it? It's not time yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

The building manager's voice rang out from inside. Despite many complaints, the building door slowly opened.

The housekeeper's slightly tired face appeared behind the door. But when she saw Lian Rongrong, dressed in elegant clothes and looking noble, her fatigue immediately vanished.

"Oh, what a handsome young man!"

The head housekeeper gave Lian Rongrong a flirtatious look before speaking:

"Young master, although you are in the prime of your life, it is not the appointed time yet, and there are no ladies to greet you!"

Even Rongrong wasn't annoyed by what she heard. She simply took the jade pendant from her waist and waved it in front of the steward.

"I have plenty of money, what? Can't you make an exception?"

The stewardess's expression changed the moment she saw the jade pendant.

The change in the steward's expression confirmed Lian Rongrong's guess.

It seems that this Yuanyang Tower is indeed related to Li Yuanqi.

"Young master is an honored guest, so we can make an exception. Please come in."

Lian Rongrong followed the manager into the Yuanyang Tower. This brothel was truly enormous.

Just as Lian Rongrong entered Yuanyang Tower, Li Yuanqi, who had just finished court, also arrived at Mingyue Hall.

Hua Ling racked her brains every day just to "accidentally" meet Li Yuanqi, so naturally she discovered Li Yuanqi's whereabouts immediately.

However, she did not intend to have a direct confrontation with Li Yuanqi today. What she wanted to do was to let Li Yuanqi know that his woman had gone to a brothel!

Thanks to Hua Ling's scheming, Li Yuanqi was "lucky" enough to overhear the conversation between the master and servant.

"Miss, I just heard that the Princess Consort is going to the Mandarin Duck Tower."

"What? How is that possible?"

“It’s true! I heard the Princess and Lanxin talking about it with my own ears.”

"What is the princess doing at the brothel?"

"Miss, don't you know? Actually, some women are..."

Xiao Tao whispered in Hua Ling's ear, but the sound was enough to reach Li Yuanqi's ears.

After Xiao Tao finished speaking, Hua Ling sternly rebuked him:

"Stop talking nonsense! You must never say such things again!"

Although the princess is sometimes a bit spoiled, and although I am in love with the prince, I know that the prince loves the princess dearly.

How could His Highness not be heartbroken if he knew of such a thing? I do not wish to see His Highness harmed. Therefore, you should pretend you know nothing about this.

After saying these words, Hua Ling caught a glimpse of Li Yuanqi's departing figure out of the corner of her eye.

A slight smile played on her lips; she felt certain that today's events would catch Lian Rongrong completely off guard.

Hua Ling didn't expect that the person who was truly caught off guard was actually Li Yuanqi.

"What's going on? Why would the Princess go to the Mandarin Duck Tower?"

As Li Yuanqi galloped away on his horse, he didn't forget to ask An Ye beside him.

"I don't know either. We've never used it at the Mandarin Duck Tower!"

An Ye, following closely beside Li Yuanqi, also looked panicked.

"It's all the old man's fault. He insisted on giving me this thing."

Li Yuanqi felt cold sweat pouring down his face, unsure whether it was from riding too fast or from his own panic.

"Your Highness, please don't worry. With your jade pendant, the Princess will be safe."

Li Yuanqi continued on his way without looking back, thinking to himself:

Am I worried about the ancestor's safety? I'm worried about myself, okay?

Li Yuanqi's strong will to survive allowed him to run the distance that should have taken an incense stick to burn in half a stick.

When Li Yuanqi pushed open the door of Yuanyang Tower, sitting right in front of the door was his own wife!

The sudden sound of the door opening terrified the housekeeper, who was already huddled at Lian Rongrong's feet, making her lose her mind even more.

Looking at Li Yuanqi, who exuded a murderous aura, the head housekeeper secretly groaned inwardly.

One jinx wasn't enough, another one appeared in the blink of an eye.

Just when the stewardess thought the newcomer would be even more difficult to deal with, Li Yuanqi suddenly changed to a fawning expression, approaching Lian Rongrong and smiling obsequiously:

"What brings you to such a place, Madam?"

Li Yuanqi's sycophantic behavior was so incongruous with his previous stern and murderous demeanor.

The headmistress even felt like she was having a mental breakdown. But facing these two, she really didn't dare to act rashly.

After all, a little girl had already beaten her to a pulp.

The headmistress cautiously observed the two people before her. Suddenly, the seated girl smiled, leaned slightly closer to the man, and whispered:

"If I hadn't come, how would I have known that His Highness Prince Qi was actually the head of the brothels in this brothel?"
