No matter how weak the Central Plains is, the Central Plains is the most powerful country with a long history. Therefore, all small countries in the world admire the Celestial Empire, and regard the beauty of the Celestial Empire as beauty and the evil of the Celestial Empire as evil.

Although the 36 countries in the Western Regions were subject to the Golden Horde, they were influenced by the Central Plains and still yearned for the Central Plains. Therefore, many people in the Western Regions are proud of being able to speak fluent Central Plains Mandarin. Even if people in the Western Regions talk to each other in the Western Regions dialect, they must mix in a few idioms from the Central Plains. At the same time, they also have to give themselves a name and surname of a Central Plains person to show that they are different from other people in the Western Regions.

Yan Ruyu is an example. She was born and raised in the Western Regions, but she took a name of a Central Plains person. Even though her father from the Central Plains abandoned her and her son, she still thought she was a Central Plains person. And Yan Ruyu really looked like a Central Plains person. Whether it was her skin color, hair color, or facial features, they were all the same as those of the Central Plains people. The only difference was that she had a pair of blue eyes, which added a few different styles to her, allowing her to stand out among the Loulan women.

Of course, she couldn't have come to where she is today just by relying on her appearance. She was also proficient in music, singing and dancing, and even in the poetry, songs, and music, chess, calligraphy, and painting of the Central Plains, which was very rare in Loulan City.

Recently, Yan Ruyu was not in a good mood, because the young master of the Xiao family in the West City had not come for a long time, which made Yan Ruyu depressed and she had not received any guests for three days.

Until today, after she got up, she sat in front of the dressing mirror. Her personal maid said that several strange guests had come and were generous. Although everyone in Loulan City said Yan Ruyu didn't love money, it still depended on how much money it was. She certainly didn't care about a few hundred taels of silver, but it was completely different for a stepping stone of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

What surprised Yan Ruyu even more was that these guests were actually one man and two women. Yan Ruyu had been in this business for quite a while and had seen everything. She couldn't help but think, could it be that they wanted to...

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu became interested and told the maid to invite the guests over.

Under the guidance of the maid, Li Xuandu and the other two came from the front yard to the back house, and came to a spacious boudoir. Two maids with quite good looks rolled up the bead curtain and invited the three people in.

Li Xuandu had also seen the world. When he came here, he couldn't help but admire Yan Ruyu's luxury. There were spices and carpets from the Western Regions, antiques and calligraphy and paintings from the Central Plains, gems from the golden tent, and self-ringing clocks and glass mirrors as tall as people. Li Xuandu was sure that those antiques and paintings must have a lot to say about them, and they must have been made by famous artists, but he was not really here to visit the brothel. His mind was more on the Yin-Yang Sect, so he just glanced at them and didn't look closely.

The owner of this place, Yan Ruyu, was lazily leaning on a chaise longue, and was also looking at the three guests.

The three of them were all strangers, and seemed to be from the Central Plains. One of them was wearing a cloak, which was very mysterious. She could only tell that she was a woman from her curves, and then her eyes fell on Li Xuandu. It was not very authentic to bring your own drinks to a restaurant.

But no matter how authentic it was, she didn't think it was so strange. In this line of work, you can see all kinds of quirks. The nobles who usually look righteous have torn off their skin and reveal their true faces. There are countless more authentic people than this, and she has long been numb and accustomed to it.

Yan Ruyu sat up straight and asked, "I will serve a guest directly. Who is the main guest?"

"It's me." The palace official took a step forward and sat on a chair not far away.

This was beyond Yan Ruyu's expectation. She thought it was the handsome man, but it turned out to be the woman who looked like a maid. Is the pretty boy really a concubine? It seems that this nobleman's hobbies are really special. Not only does he not care about raw or cold food, but his appetite is also amazing.

While Yan Ruyu was thinking about it, the palace official was also looking up and down at the most beautiful woman in Loulan City, and praised her generously, "Sister is so beautiful, worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Loulan City."

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly, "This... sister is also beautiful. I didn't expect that a beauty like sister would come to such a place?"

"What kind of place is it?" The palace official asked back.

Yan Ruyu was startled, then smiled and said, "Many people think that places like ours are not very clean."

The palace official smiled and said, "I think it is very clean, much cleaner than those big families in West City. Those wealthy families steal dogs and play with chickens every day, have affairs with other people, and keep younger brothers-in-law. How can they be described with just one word 'dirty'?"

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel a little fond of this special guest in front of her, and said, "Sister, what you said seems familiar?"

The palace official said, "It comes from a very famous Central Plains storybook. I happened to bring a volume. I wonder if you are interested?"

Yan Ruyu has always admired the Celestial Empire. She can't read the classics of various schools, but she has no problem reading some vernacular storybooks. Among many women, this is also a capital worth bragging about. At this time, she naturally nodded and said, "I'd like to take a look."

The palace official took out the storybook that had been prepared long ago, and of course the box containing the night pearl, and presented it together, "This is my gift to my sister. It's not a token of respect, but I hope my sister will accept it."

Yan Ruyu took the hardcover storybook calmly, put it aside, and then opened the box. Her face was immediately illuminated, as if covered by a thin veil.

Yan Ruyu is a person who has seen the world. At this moment, she couldn't help but look at the palace official deeply, "A great and precious gift."

The palace official smiled and said, "Sister is making fun of me."

Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment and said, "I just said something. I have received many men, but not many women. I wonder what my sister is going to do when she comes here?"

Gong Guan said, "I just want to stay for a while."

Yan Ruyu can become famous and stand firm in Loulan City, so naturally she is not a fool who is easily deceived. She immediately realizes that something is wrong, "Discover the enemy?"

The palace official said, "Let's just count it."

Yan Ruyu turned her gaze to Shangguan Wan, who was wearing a cloak, covering her face and was silent all the time, and asked tentatively: "Who is this?"

Gong Guan said, "It's better for my sister to not know."

Yan Ruyu smiled, "I think so. Not only do I not know about this kind of thing, it is better not to participate in it."

After saying that, Yan Ruyu picked up the tea cup next to her and imitated the people of the Central Plains to serve tea and see off guests.

But the palace official was indifferent and said, "I have no choice but to do so. Sister, don't be so anxious, listen to me and finish my words."

Yan Ruyu frowned, "Who are you?"

The palace official said, "My surname is Gong, and my name is just the word "guan". Everyone who is familiar with me calls me Guanguan."

Yan Ruyu was a little hesitant. She had never heard of this name, but the voice of the young girl who looked not old had some majesty that was hard to refuse.

The next moment, the palace official waved his hand, and with a "pop" sound, a corpse fell down and fell on the thick carpet without making much noise.

Yan Ruyu's expression was still, and she did not yell like an ordinary woman. She seemed to be commonplace with dead people. Then she just clapped her hands and a maid Liang came in and took away the body.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" After Yan Ruyu understood that the other party was not here for her body, she put down those charming tricks and simply made the words clear.

The palace official still kept smiling, "Sister doesn't need to do anything. Just let me stay for a few days so that people outside think that my sister is receiving guests."

Yan Ruyu frowned, "It's that simple? But it's a bit of a big deal."

The palace official smiled but said nothing.

She understood Li Xuandu's meaning very well. If Li Xuandu captured Shangguan Wan, he would inevitably attract people from the Yin-Yang Sect. If he wanted to prove Shangguan Wan, it would take some time, so he wanted to find a temporary hiding place. The Xicheng is not safe, and the goal is too big. Neither the Duan family nor the Xiao family can hide their eyes. There is a deserted desert outside Loulan City, which is also inappropriate. The most suitable one is the Dongcheng, which is mixed with fish and dragons.

This is the reason why the palace officials led Li Xuandu to this place, but this reason cannot be explained to Yan Ruyuming.

The palace official shook his head and said, "Nothing is a big deal."

Suddenly, Yan Ruyu found that her body was extremely moving, and the palace official had quietly come to her side, sitting side by side with her on the imperial concubine's couch, gently embracing her, looking very close.

Yan Ruyu approached the woman up close and found something she didn't care about at the beginning.

If a woman only has one face, she is only suitable to be a good wife and mother who cares for her husband and children, and she cannot attract all men. Therefore, women who can be sought after by countless men must have many faces, and they can transform themselves into these faces at will. They are noble and indifferent, eccentric, playful and cute, gentle and obedient, understanding, gentle and lovely, and can't do anything. It makes people feel that this is a clumsy imitation, but that this is her true face. She is like this, without any falsehood.

Such a woman will inevitably charm all living beings.

Yan Ruyu can become the number one beauty in Loulan City, so she is naturally proficient in this method. She smelled the same smell on the palace official.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu became a little alert and said slowly: "What is the number one beauty in Loulan City? She is just a laughing woman, she doesn't have that much ability."

The smile on the palace official's face gradually faded away, and his five fingers gently strangled Yan Ruyu's throat, "I said you have it, you have it."
