The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

There was no movement in the next room.

Xue San should still be sleeping.

Gu Mingzhao temporarily gave up eavesdropping.

Liao Qinglan was stepping into the legendary land of romance for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel curious and looked around.

The layout of the room is fascinating.

The pink tulle hangs dreamily, dancing in the wind, and the hazy atmosphere of the room is faintly visible behind the curtain.

The air is filled with sweet incense, the fragrance seems to be able to captivate and intoxicate people.

On the bed is an embroidered pillow with a pattern of entwined mandarin ducks, symbolizing a loving couple living together in harmony.

Every arrangement is full of teasing and ambiguity, making people blush.

Gu Mingzhao also noticed the incense burner. He extinguished the incense inside without hesitation, then opened the window. A breeze blew in, and the fragrance in the room was dispelled a lot.

Liao Qinglan suddenly remembered that when Gu Mingzhao broke his leg and lived in Liao Mansion, she had also prepared medicinal incense for him to relieve the pain.

However, as soon as she left, Gu Mingzhao asked Xing'er to open the window to let the smell out, and he ended up getting a high fever in the middle of the night.

She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you like the smell of incense?"

"It's so sweet that it gives me a headache just by smelling it. However, I don't mind it. It's just that the incense in brothels usually has aphrodisiac effects. I'm afraid you can't control yourself."

After saying that, Gu Mingzhao took two steps back, looking as if he was afraid that Liao Qinglan would pounce on him.

Liao Qinglan: “…”

She was so angry about what he said that she turned around and sat on a chair outside, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

She talks as if she is a sex-hungry ghost!

It would be more normal for him to speak less and be a little more aloof.

Gu Mingzhao is still cuter when he doesn’t lose his memory.

This memory must be retrieved no matter what!

Gu Mingzhao found Liao Qinglan's shy and angry look quite interesting.

He walked slowly to sit opposite her and said with a smile: "Liao Qinglan, you have never seen anyone as good-looking as me, so when I was in Liao Mansion School, you admired me?"

"Of course I have!" Liao Qinglan stared at him with her round almond-shaped eyes.

"Oh? Then you should tell me."

Liao Qinglan was speechless for a moment after his question.

Although she didn't want to admit it, what she was thinking of was Gu Mingzhao from her previous life.

Even though his personality is unpredictable and unpredictable, his handsome face is undeniable.

Liao Qinglan was reluctant to admit that he was good-looking, lest he become even more proud.

However, seeing his dangerous expression, she felt that if she dared to say someone else's name, Gu Mingzhao would immediately throw her off the building.

Liao Qinglan swallowed and gave a safer answer: "My brother Liao Wei is a handsome man, no worse than you!"

Gu Mingzhao snorted softly: "Not worse than me, which means not better than me."

Liao Qinglan was so shocked by his interpretation that her eyes widened: "Gu Mingzhao, I find that you are really shameless now!"

Gu Mingzhao said leisurely, "Being brazen to a strange woman is called frivolity. But being brazen to your fiancée is called interest. You are still young, and you need to learn more in the future."

sophistry!

Liao Qinglan was indignant, so she picked up the book at hand and threw it at Gu Mingzhao.

Gu Mingzhao was agile and easily caught the flying book, placed it on the table, and ran his fingertips over the pages, flipping through them casually.

It would have been better if he hadn't turned the pages. After turning a few pages, Gu Mingzhao's mouth corners slightly raised, and his smile became more intense: "I didn't expect that you like such a more intense position..."

Liao Qinglan leaned over to take a look and wished she could poke her own eyes out.

The book depicts a scene of two people being naked and in an alluring and erotic manner.

She snatched the album from Gu Mingzhao's hand, threw it into the corner viciously, then walked to the window with a blushing face to get some fresh air.

How could there be such a book on the table!

Liao Qinglan suddenly felt a little regretful for following Gu Mingzhao.

Seeing that she was extremely shy, Gu Mingzhao felt a surge of pity for her.

Afraid that teasing her any further would make Liao Qinglan even more embarrassed, he gave up the joking intention and stopped talking to her.

The night falls and the lanterns come on.

The scent of fine silk in the brothel indicated that the carnival had begun.

The laughter and joy outside gradually merged into a bustling nocturne.

With a "creak", the door of the next room opened. It should be that Mr. Xue San took some action.

Gu Mingzhao and Liao Qinglan held their breath, their ears pressed against the wall, listening to the noise coming from the next room.

"Mr. Xue, the New Year is almost here, why are you still so sad? Isn't it enough to have the courtesan Yujiao by your side?" The voice of a man in his thirties came from the side.

"Hey, it's all about family matters! My father asked me to take advantage of the opportunity of rebuilding the river bank to catch more fat sheep, but my uncle obstructed me in every way. It really made me anxious!"

"Why...why is Lord Liu unwilling to help?"

Xue San said: "It was the imperial censor sent by the court. He was investigating everywhere and almost discovered our secret. Fortunately, my uncle was alert and caught him."

Liao Qinglan and Gu Mingzhao looked at each other, and their eyes gradually became solemn.

Wang Tingzhi was indeed in trouble and is now in their hands.

"Imperial Censor? This is a bit troublesome. How do you plan to deal with him, Third Master?"

"Of course he can't stay. My uncle has sent him to the sheepfold and asked my father to discipline him."

"This... after all, he is sent by the imperial court. Is this inappropriate?"

"Humph, my uncle has already thought of a countermeasure. This person has always been at odds with the King of Qin. When the time comes, we can just put the blame on the King of Qin."

"Great, great! Lord Liu is really far-sighted!" the man complimented.

"The Imperial Censor is nothing to be afraid of. The most urgent task now is to catch the sheep, otherwise my father will definitely scold me to death!"

"I have a plan that may help you out."

"Say it quickly."

"There are many beggars in Jizhou. It would be better to capture some of them first to make up the number. After the imperial envoys leave, it won't be too late to take action against the laborers."

"That's a great idea, Guo Kun, you're amazing!"

"It's my honor to be able to share the worries of the Third Master!"

"I'll leave this matter to you. You've made a great contribution. I'll let Yujiao accompany you tonight!"

"Everyone knows that Yujiao is the Third Master's person. Isn't this bad?"

"I used to think Yujiao was pretty, but a few days ago I met a young lady on the street who was as pretty as a fairy. Now when I look at the girls in Baihua Tower, I find them all boring."

"With your status as Third Master, why don't you just take the person back?"

"She was followed by a very vicious man who attacked me and wanted to go to the government with me! I was afraid that my uncle would scold me, so I ran away first."

Liao Qinglan felt her eyelids twitch.

The person Xue San was talking about couldn't be her...

I feel sick when I think about being targeted by such a person.

There was a cold light flashing in Gu Mingzhao's eyes, and he looked very scary.

"As long as people are still in Jizhou, they will belong to the Third Master sooner or later!"

"You are still good at talking, Yujiao. Serve your Master Guo well tonight."

"Yes." Another woman's voice responded shyly.

"Thank you, Third Master! Thank you, Third Master!" Guo Kun was very excited.

"Seeing how anxious you are, the next room is ready for you, go quickly."

The next room?

The two reacted immediately.

Gu Mingzhao took Liao Qinglan's hand and prepared to climb out through the window.

But before he reached the window, he heard the door being pushed open.

In a hurry, the two had to hide under the bed temporarily and look for a chance to leave.
