C617 On the eve of the storm

Her mouth seemed to contain a vermilion pill as her slender fingers slowly strayed across the zither strings. Music flowed out and the smile on her face was captivating.

Feng Yunzheng sat in front. There was a pot of Pear Blossom Wine on the table in front of him and it faintly emitted a fragrance. It blended with the incense in the room and had a very strange experience. His gaze fell on Liu Xuewu.

After the song ended, Liu Xue Wu stood up and leisurely walked to Feng Yunzheng's side. She leaned over, picked up the jug of wine in front of him, poured a cup of wine into the jade cup, and handed it over to him with both hands.

"Young Master, Xue Wu has poured wine for you." Not long after she had arrived at the Drunken Immortal restaurant, she had relied on her outstanding appearance and outstanding talent to become the top courtesan of the Drunken Immortal restaurant. Furthermore, she had never sold herself, and had even asked the old procuress to spread the word that she was waiting for a sincere person to pay for her services.

Things were still valuable, and people were the same. After Liu Xue Wu said that, not only did the price not decrease, but it also increased in a short period of time. Everyone rushed to that place like a flock of ducks.

"Thank you, Miss Xue Wu." Feng Yunzheng lifted the jade cup.

Liu Xue Wu's gentle gaze, like water, landed on Feng Yunzheng. Her face turned slightly red as she said, "Young Noble, it's getting late. Today, we must stay at the Drunken Immortal Inn. I'll get mother to arrange a good room for Young Noble."

Feng Yunzheng lifted the curtain and looked up to the second floor. "So it's already this late. Miss Xue Wu's zither skills are truly outstanding. As I listened, I actually forgot the time."

"Then Xue Wu will go and instruct Yan'Er to find her mother and arrange a room." Liu Xue Wu said.

"There's no need. I still have my wife and children. No matter what, I have to go home." Finished speaking, Feng Yunzheng stood up and nodded towards the night wind.

Ye Feng, who was guarding the door, took out a stack of silver notes and placed it on the table.

"Young …" Liu Xue Wu looked at Feng Yunzheng's departing figure and her face couldn't help but reveal a disappointed and frustrated expression. She, Liu Xue Wu, had always been a noble and noble person, but now she had fallen into Young Master Feng's love net.

"Xue Wu …" When the old procuress saw the thick stack of silver notes on the table, her eyes immediately lit up. "This Young Master Feng is truly generous to you. A few days ago, he spent a total of twenty thousand taels of gold and silver on you, including the items he gave you …"

"Money is just money. What I want, he is not willing to give." Liu Xue Wu's tone was bitter.

The old procuress stopped holding the banknotes. "What do you want? He won't give it to you."

"Really." Liu Xue Wu said.

Hearing this, the old procuress sighed, "Xue Wu, ah, Xue Wu, your heart is truly stronger than the heavens and your life is thinner than paper. You are just a young lady from the Drunken Immortal Tavern, what do you ask for?"

"Mom, is it really that difficult to find a sincere person? This Young Master Feng seems to be interested in me and is generous to me, but he seems to be distant from me. When I said that it was already too late and my mother was going to arrange a room for me, he said that his wife and children were waiting at home. "

"Xue Wu, you really want to be with her." the bawd asked.

"Yes." Liu Xue Wu nodded, "Even though I haven't been at the Drunken Immortal Inn for long, I have seen all kinds of people. Xue Wu has never really looked at them and this Young Master Feng is the only one I have seen."

"In that case, Mom will give you an idea." said the bawd.

"What idea? Senior Servant, quickly tell me." Liu Xue Wu was quite anxious.

"In our Drunken Immortal Tavern, there is a type of incense. If you light it when a man and a woman are alone in the same room, then both parties will be unable to control themselves …" Other than you, all the other ladies of the Drunken Immortal Tavern have this incense in their hands. Hehe, because the price of your Coin God is too expensive, Mom didn't give you this incense. " said the bawd.

Liu Xue Wu's face reddened as she said, "There is such a thing. Mom, give some to your daughter."

"I can give it to you, but you have to promise me. When the time comes, you will leave with Young Noble Feng and you will have to compensate me with one hundred thousand taels of silver." As if seeing through her eager heart, the old bawd sat down and raised the price.

"One hundred thousand taels, mother. This is way too high!" After a moment of surprise, Liu Xue Wu said.

"Xue Wu, ah, think about it. If this Young Noble Feng takes you away, your future will be more than a hundred thousand taels of silver." The old bawd's eyes narrowed into slits, and shrewdness could be seen in them.

Liu Xue Wu finally said, "Okay, if it succeeds, Xue Wu is willing to give mother 100,000 silver."

"Alright." The old procuress took out a packet of incense from her sleeve and placed it in Liu Xuewu's hand. "Next time, when he comes to your room, light this incense and you will be his."

When Liu Xue Wu caught the incense, her face reddened and her heartbeat quickened.

The old procuress took the banknotes and walked out of Liu Xuewu's room. She then looked around vigilantly before turning around and entering the other room — —

As soon as she walked in, she saw a man sitting on the table and quietly drinking tea. She walked over with a fawning face and bowed, "Master, it's done. This servant told Xue Wu that it was to hasten the growth of the green medicine. She believes it."

Lu Mao took out two pieces of gold from his bosom and placed them on the table. "Take this. This is your reward."

When the old procuress saw this, her eyes lit up again and she hugged the gold. But she suddenly hesitated and asked timidly, "Your Highness, what … what incense is that? It can't be dead, can it?"

Lu Mao stood up, his face unfathomable as he said, "Don't worry, you won't die."

"Then can the crown prince tell this servant who Young Master Feng is? I can see that his bearing is extraordinary. Although he has a crush on Xue Wu, he doesn't do anything between a man and a woman. Truly …"

whoosh * Suddenly, a sword was thrust toward the old procuress's neck. The old procuress was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees. "Your highness, please spare me! Your highness …"

Lu Mao looked coldly at the man on the ground and said, "If you shouldn't ask, then don't ask. Take care of the things I told you. Prince Anping's estate can't treat you unfairly. Otherwise, you won't even know how they died."

"Yes, yes, yes. This servant doesn't dare to speak anymore. This servant will do as the crown prince says." The old procuress felt a chill in her heart. No one from Prince Anping's residence dared to offend her.

On the tenth day of Feng Yunzheng's arrival at Pingzhou, he finally read out the imperial edict. After the decree was issued, Lu Shangchen expressed his heartfelt feelings and even placed the imperial edict at the center of the main hall of the palace. He also sent out a notice to all the citizens of the Southern Prefecture of the Pingzhou, instructing them to comply with the imperial edict.
