queen she is not doing business

Chapter 23 The Scourge Must Die

It's not yet dawn, and Wangxianzui is already full of excitement.

Many guests gathered together to discuss the upcoming major events tonight.

The auction of Wangxianzui only happens once in a few months, and no one wants to miss it, especially tonight when they have already got accurate information.

Tonight, Wangxianzui will auction off the sisters of His Highness the Prince's close maid.

If this person can be auctioned off, maybe he can learn about His Highness the Crown Prince's secrets from her. Therefore, Sheng Fengxue, who has the status of His Highness's personal court lady sister, is priced higher than ordinary girls.

After being sent to take a bath and change clothes, Sheng Fengxue, who had been drugged by Yan Ming, still didn't wake up, and the woman covered in white gauze sat beside her bed without saying a word.

When a maid knocked on the door, she turned her head and glanced, then moved to the door.

"Sister Yingying, everything is ready outside." The servant girl half-closed the door and said in a low voice.

"Is there anything unusual?" she asked.

"No, all of them were guests from last night, and no strangers came in." The servant girl replied affirmatively.

"Get ready to start." Lu Yingying closed the door.

"It seems that I can't wait for you to wake up. Originally, I still have a lot of things to tell you to do." Lu Yingying said to herself.

Wangxianzui's crowd formed a circle, discussing excitedly all the time, but Princess Ruyi was so quiet that there was no voice.

After a long time, Lu Shenyuan yawned and said, "Your Highness, let's go back, it's almost dawn."

"No, if no one is found, this princess can't go back like this!" Princess Ruyi was still staring in that direction, not even daring to blink her eyelids. .
Although she is really sleepy.

"Who is it that is worth waiting for, Your Highness the Princess?"

Lu Shenyuan asked casually, knowing that Princess Ruyi would not answer, she said to herself, "I haven't come after waiting for so long, maybe something has delayed the time."

"No!" Princess Ruyi said with certainty.

"How about... let's go back first, and send someone here... to continue waiting?" Yue Zanghui said cautiously later in a soft voice.

"Dahuilang, I have to wait!" Princess Ruyi's attitude was still firm.

In case something happened to Sheng Jiao'e, how could she explain to the Lord!
"Yeah." A timid response.

"No, according to the time calculation, Sister Sheng should have arrived long ago." Princess Ruyi thought to herself, feeling uneasy.

On the way here, she made sure again and again that if "Sheng Jiao'e" wanted to go to Beijing, she would [-]% go this way.

She was waiting not far outside Du's mansion, but she received the news that Sheng Jiao'e had left Du's mansion. To be sure, she could only come here and wait.

In fact, Sheng Fengxue didn't take this path, but went to the side path.

Just in a hurry.

As time passed bit by bit, Princess Ruyi became more and more uneasy, and at the end, she began to worry again.

The black man came over and whispered something in her ear.

"Go." Princess Ruyi beckoned and ordered.

Although they didn't know where she was going, everyone was still relieved to leave here.

"Where...?" Yue Zanghui asked shyly.

"Where He Yuan lives." Princess Ruyi replied and got into the carriage, and Yue Zanghui followed.

The two children with noble status sat in the front, and Lu Shenyuan sat in the back.

This place is not far from the place where He Yuan lived, and the crowd arrived outside Zhu's mansion before it was time for a cup of tea.

A place that Sheng Fengxue had visited not long ago.

The luxurious carriage adorned with gems stopped, and Lu Shenyuan got out of the carriage and said, "His Royal Highness, Your Highness Hui, we have arrived."

"Go to the house next to a dry well and an old willow tree." Princess Ruyi poked her head out and ordered.

"Yes." Lu Shenyuan agreed, and the carriage continued to drive forward.

When they arrived at the destination, Princess Ruyi asked everyone to wait in place, and only brought Lu Shenyuan and Yue Zanghui to enter through the side door.

Turn around a few alleys with ease.

The faint moonlight is covered by the shadows of the trees, and the few lanterns under the eaves can only illuminate the road ahead.The layout of the small courtyard is very simple, and you can see everything at a glance when you enter.

There is light refracted on the window in the side room, and there is a figure shaking in the room, who seems to be drinking.

This is the courtyard that Yan Ming and He Yuan rented.

Lu Shenyuan closed the gate and stood guard at the entrance of the small courtyard. Ru Yi walked over there with a cat waist, and Yue Zanghui followed quietly.

The two were already young, and it was even harder to be discovered by hiding in the darkness.

Ru Yi leaned her back against the wall, and Yue Zanghui followed suit.

Ru Yi's face was calm, without any expression of fear, while Yue Zanghui beside him was already so excited that he jumped up and down.

The room was still quiet, it seemed that Yan Ming still didn't notice anyone outside the window, Ru Yi waited quietly for a while to confirm the situation in the room, and then she signaled Yue Zanghui to knock on the door.

Yue Zanghui nodded, clenching his fist and lightly passed Ru Yi and knocked on the door without hesitation.

After knocking twice, he remained silent.

The people in the room listened, their bodies froze, and then they put the wine glasses on the table, and came to open the door with great excitement.

He thought it was Lu Yingying who brought him money.

Two knocks on the door were the signal they had agreed upon.

The door was opened, and Yan Ming was surprised to find that the person standing at the door was not Lu Yingying, but a boy who was only eight or nine years old.

Yan Ming stared at it for a while, then looked outside again, but did not see Lu Yingying's shadow, so he asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

As Yan Ming asked, he sized up the unknown boy in front of him with malicious intent. The sallow and emaciated Bai was flushed because he had just drunk wine, and he could hardly see his original sluggish appearance.

Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, so when he asked Yue Zanghui, he was no longer as arrogant as before.

"Are you Yan Ming?" Yue Zanghui asked directly and took a look at the room, making sure that there was no second person in the room before he looked away.

"Who are you?" Yan Ming asked, seeing the other party's luxurious clothes, Yan Ming was puzzled.

"Someone asked me to send you money." Yue Zanghui said again.

"Really, really?" Yue Zanghui's words dispelled Yan Ming's doubts in an instant, and at the same time he shook his body because he was too excited.

"Yeah." Yue Zanghui raised his head and smiled, then slowly stretched out his hand to reach out to his chest, Yan Ming did not suspect that there was a fraud but bent down happily, his eager eyes moved with Yue Zanghui's movements.

At the same time, Ru Yi, who had been hiding in the darkness, also moved, and pulled out the dagger she had prepared in her sleeve. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yue Zanghui hurriedly jumped to the side.

Just when Yan Ming's gaze and figure moved with his movements, Ru Yi had already appeared in front of him.

Like a ghost, before Yan Ming was startled and turned around, Ru Yi jumped up and kicked Yan Ming's lower body.

The next moment, Yan Ming was bowed in pain, it was too late to protect him, so he hurriedly retreated into the room.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, he already felt the danger from this short shadow.

This feeling is never before!

Yue Zanghui, who was watching Yan Ming's movements closely, saw him retreating, and kicked Yan Ming's side knee with all his strength when Ru Yi retracted his feet.

Yan Ming was already drunk, and his body swayed a few times even when he was walking. Now that he had lost much resistance, he was kicked to the ground by Yue Zanghui with a muffled "boom".

Ru Yi's strength is really great, she is only seven years old, but she kicked out the strength of a 17-year-old!

"Don't move!" Ru Yi seized the opportunity to hold the dagger behind her back, sat heavily on the chest of Yan Ming who was lying on the ground, and pressed the blade against Yan Ming's throat.

The speed was too fast, so fast that Yan Ming couldn't react.

Seeing that the general situation has been settled, Yue Zanghui's whole body also rushed forward, and tightly hugged Yan Ming's struggling legs with both hands.

"You?" Yan Ming's eyes widened, and he realized it in an instant. In a hurry, he wanted to pinch Ru Yi's slender neck with both hands.

Unexpectedly, Ru Yi had been prepared for a long time, just when his hand was about to touch her neck, she cut Yan Ming's throat without hesitation.

Warm and moist blood flowed down the dagger glowing with cold light, and gradually stained Ru Yi's ginkgo cuff.

"Why...why?" Yan Ming's eyes bulged, he couldn't imagine that a seven-foot man would be subdued by two children, and he could even be stabbed.

Even he didn't have the ability to kill so decisively.

"Because you touched someone who shouldn't be touched!" Ru Yi said indifferently, with reserved strength in her hands, deliberately leaving time for Yan Ming to know the truth of the matter.

"Who?" Yan Ming asked again, his breath gradually becoming weaker.
