Chapter 30 - Got Caught in the Brothel

Mo Yuzhen showed a distressed look, and after a long time, she said helplessly, “Of course I totally support that you should chase your love, but…”

She paused for a moment, seemingly a little difficult to say it.

“But I am the daughter of Empress after all. If you really become the Fourth Princess Consort, we will belong to two parties. Even if I want to keep the good relationship with you, for your sake, it is necessary to avoid others’ suspects.”

Otherwise, when Fourth Prince’s party saw that the Fourth Princess Consort was still in contact with Third Princess, it was hard to guarantee that Shi Qingxue would not be punished for this.

Shi Qingxue never thought of these things, and she was a little astonished.

Therefore, it wasn’t because Mo Yuzhen didn’t like her choice that she had been alienated from her in the previous life, but because she was afraid that Shi Qingxue would go through a hard time in her husband’s house in the future, and she bore much pain and got away from her?

For a moment, there seemed to be warmth in her heart, which made her eyes wet, but her mood was cheered up.

“You idiot!” Qingxue laughed and pretended to scold with anger, “You and I are the best friends. Even if our families have conflicts in politics, those are none of our business. Do you really think that I am that kind of person without thoughts?”

No matter how much she loved Mo Junhao in her last life, she would not give up her friendship with Mo Yuzhen.

But they just made the mistake and missed a friendship by chance.

Shi Qingxue had some regrets, but she felt more fortunate to be able to do it again.

This time she would not repeat the same mistakes.

On the second day, the two really went out of the palace, and Mo Yuzhen accepted Shi Qingxue’s suggestion. She disguised herself as a man and then she would not be recognized even if she met an acquaintance.

“I asked Dong Shuang to investigate. She Changfeng should now meet friends in Xiangyue Pavilion. Let’s go there and see!”

Mo Yuzhen lived in the palace for a long time and didn’t know much about Xiangyue Pavilion. She asked curiously, “I have heard my brothers occasionally mention Xiangyue Pavilion. But what exactly is it for? An academy?”

Shi Qingxue shook her head and pursed her lips for a while before she said, “No, the owner of Xiangyue Pavilion was the descendant of a famous person, who intended to meet friends by talent and then invested to build a place like a teahouse beside Xiang Lake. It’s named Xiangyue Pavilion. Some talented noble men in the capital city were regularly invited there to recite poems and discuss ancient and modern era.”

“This sounds pretty good! The owner should be a very talented person, otherwise how could he be so popular with so many people?” Even her visionary brother couldn’t stop praising her!

Dong Shuang nodded, and whispered, “Yeah, she’s also a beautiful person!”

“Beautiful?” Mo Yuzhen was stunned for a while, then realized that the owner of the Xiangyue Pavilion was a woman.

Her smile faded, and then she finally understood Shi Qingxue’s true intention of taking her to Xiangyue Pavilion.

After a moment, she suddenly smiled again, closed the fan in her hand, and said cheerfully, “Okay! Let’s go to Xiangyue Pavilion and see!”

By the time they arrived at the Xiangyue Pavilion, there had been many noble men in it. Some of them were talking and laughing in the lobby, while others were greeted and brought to the private room upstairs by the servants.

With a closer look, Shi Qingxue found that she knew a lot of them.

It seemed that this Xiangyue Pavilion was really much popular!

“Fortunately, the theme here is to meet friends with talent, otherwise, if somebody else comes in, he might think that it is a brothel run in the daytime!” Mo Yuzhen’s words were offensive, and she was really angry.

Immediately, Mo Yuzhen didn’t bother to take care of the private investigation any more. She grabbed a man immediately and asked, “Where is She Changfeng?”

The man saw Mo Yuzhen looked serious, thinking that she was coming to challenge him, and could not help but sneer, “You come at a wrong time. Mr. She is very busy today. I’m afraid that he can’t compete with you!”

He showed very ambiguous attitude in the word “busy”, but Mo Yuzhen didn’t understand his meaning at all, and asked with a cold look, “What is he doing now?”

“Today Xiangyue invited Mr. She as the guest of honor. The two are now upstairs…” The man showed a sneaky smile and paused for a moment, winking and making signs to Mo Yuzhen, “Well, we are men, and we should understand. You don’t need me to explain it!”

The people next to him also laughed.

Mo Yuzhen understood it at this moment. Suddenly she burst into anger, and cursed, “Well, you She Changfeng. You’d better not let me catch you, otherwise I must whip you to death!”

With those harsh words, she ignored the astonished people around, and took out her whip and ran upstairs.

“Wait, Yu…” Shi Qingxue was afraid of exposing Mo Yuzhen’s true identity, and she did not dare to shout loudly. She could only watch Mo Yuzhen rush upstairs quickly.

“Master, what should we do?” Dong Shuang was looking forward to this Xiangyue Pavilion, but when she was really here, and there were some wretched men beside her, she felt much uncomfortable, and she was more unwilling to let Shi Qingxue get involved in this.

Mo Yuzhen’s identity was there. If it was revealed at this moment, the princess’s reputation would be not good, and she was afraid that it would also affect her master!

Shi Qingxue was also worried, but she was not thinking about it.

She was afraid that Mo Yuzhen’s temper was too bad. What if she really saw some uncomfortable and ugly scene, Yuzhen must whip She Changfeng to death on the spot!

“You are going back to our house now, and then you go to my room and get my waist tag, then go to the Guardian Room to recruit some men.” Shi Qingxue made a decision immediately.

“Remember, this needs to be done in secret. Don’t let my mother and the others know.”

Dong Shuang was reluctant to leave, “Master, let’s go together! Anyway… Princess has her identity. If something really happened, she could just show her identity. Why do we bother to worry?”

Even if Dong Shuang had a hundred guts, she didn’t dare to leave Shi Qingxue alone in this Xiangyue Pavilion!

Shi Qingxue waved her hand and drove her out, “Don’t worry, I have my plan. You should just prepare as I said quickly. Otherwise, if something really happened, it would be too late.”

Dong Shuang had no other way but could only take the order.

Qingxue hurriedly rushed upstairs, hoping to stop Mo Yuzhen before anything happened.

But she ran too fast, and as soon as she got up the stairs, she bumped into someone.

The recoil force made her fall straight back, and behind her were only stairs.

“Ah!” Shi Qingxue exclaimed in a low voice, closed her eyes subconsciously, and was ready to bear the severe pain coming soon.

However, the pain did not come as she had expected. She just felt that a powerful hand held her on her waist, and she was just pulled back from the edge of the falling, and she hit the thick and warm chest of that person.

“Do you want to die?” The deep male voice was not as calm as it used to be, but was a little scared with anger.

Hearing that, Qingxue was surprised. After a moment, she looked up at the man. She murmured incredibly, “Mo Junyang.”

Seeing her being still stupid, Mo Junyang thought that if she hadn’t happened to hit him, Qingxue might have rolled down the stairs, and he became angry. Without saying anything, he forcefully held up Qingxue and entered an empty private room aside.

Shi Qingxue thought for a few moments before she became sure that the person who had just saved her was Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang also came to Xiangyue Pavilion!

She was joyful first, but then inexplicably annoyed.

She stared her big eyes fiercely at Mo Junyang, making Mo Junyang who was originally angry feel strange. He heard her coldly questioning, “Why are you here?”

Mo Junyang was speechless.

Obviously it was Shi Qingxue who was ignoring her own safety. Why was he scolded at this moment?

Even though Mo Junyang was always expressionless, he couldn’t help laughing at this moment, “I’m not angry yet, and what are you so mad at?”

Shi Qingxue realized that she had misbehaved, and there was a hint of surprise showed on her face, and then she became even more ashamed and annoyed.

But this time she was no longer angry with Mo Junyang, but angry with her anger!

It was reasonable that Mo Yuzhen became angry for She Changfeng was her future husband.

What did Mo Junyang have to do with her? And why was she angry?

Shi Qingxue bit her lower lip tightly, trying to suppress these untimely emotions, but she still couldn’t look at Mo Junyang calmly.

She could only pretend to say coldly, “I was with Yuzhen. But she escaped alone just now, and I was worried about her safety…”

Thinking of Mo Junyang’s current identity, Shi Qingxue’s eyes suddenly lightened as if she had found a savior. She looked straight at Mo Junyang and eagerly asked, “She went to find She Changfeng, but there are so many private rooms here. I can’t find my way. Can you find her?”

This kind of trusting and reliant sight made Mo Junyang’s heart warm, as if it were being gently scratched by the paw, itching and aching. He wished to take the “kitty” in front of him into his arms and played with her.

But he knew that Shi Qingxue was not a docile kitten.

If he made her mad, she could scratch his face, and would run far away. It would be difficult to get her back.

Mo Junyang meditated a few words in his heart, “If you can’t bear it, you’re going to mess up.” He suppressed the pulse in his heart, and on his face, he looked serious and told Qu Yuebai next to him, “Go and let Xiangyue check where She Changfeng is. Find Third Princess and bring her here.”

Not knowing why, it seemed that since her rebirth, Shi Qingxue had an inexplicable trust in Mo Junyang.

After hearing this, she stopped worrying and asked, “Do you also know Xiangyue?”

After carefully thinking about Mo Junyang’s attitude before, she wrinkled her nose and murmured, “Listen to your tone, how does the owner of Xiangyue Pavilion look like your subordinate?”

Wasn’t it rumored that the owner of Xiangyue Pavilion was not afraid of authority, and even the Emperor must obey the rules of Xiangyue Pavilion if he came?

Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows and said that the woman he fancied was really keen-minded, and she could detect some secrets only from the tone of his speech, although he never thought of hiding it from her.

Immediately, with a mild smile, he asked, “What? Can’t she be?”

Shi Qingxue already knew that Mo Junyang was arrogant in his bones, and did not think there was any problem with his attitude.

After all, Mo Junyang, who had been miserable at this time in the previous life, got a backbone, and he refused to lower his head to anyone, let alone thinking of him being restrained and low-key in this life.

But after knowing that Xiangyue was likely to be the subordinate of Mo Junyang, she couldn’t help feeling happy.

It was like that she found something that originally belonged to her was not stolen, which made her feel so subtle.

Shi Qingxue quickly stopped her thoughts and endured her hot face, whispering, “Yuzhen wants to know the character of her future husband, so we come here, just wanting to see what kind of person She Changfeng is. You… ”

The two were sitting together and chatting casually, which rarely happened. And a knock on the door interrupted Shi Qingxue’s words.

The two turned their heads at the same time, looking at the door unhappily.

Who got anything wrong with his head and annoyed them at this time?
