It was when the lights first came up, and the orioles were singing and dancing in the green pavilion, and the colorful sleeves were flying randomly, and there was wine, sex, wealth, and a breath of luxury and enjoyment everywhere.

Wanhong is a girl in Jucui Pavilion, but her appearance is not high-end, and she can only barely be considered pretty. Although she is a beauty, she is a bit inferior to Wanzihong in Jucui Pavilion. So she can't sit comfortably in the pavilion, and can only attract customers at the door.

Wanhong entered the brothel at the age of fifteen and saw countless people. She had seen all kinds of customers and could handle any situation. She had already practiced the versatile and long-standing dance.

But even so, she still seems to be overwhelmed with this situation today.

Wanhong stared at the silver notes in the masked girl's hand, looked straight and said, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

Banxia lifted the facial scarf on her face, and she was more concealed. She approached Wanhong and whispered: "My lady wants to enter your brothel, but she doesn't want anyone else to know. Can you do it..."

Wanhong was about to say that no, how could a woman enter the brothel? But the next moment, when she saw the three silver notes waving in Banxia's hand, the word "No" was swallowed back to her throat.

He changed into a smiley face and whispered: "What's the matter? The lady follows me to the side door. When you enter the building, you will go to the wing room. No one will be seen by anyone."

Wanhong didn't know what the lady was going to do, but she was a fool if she didn't make money. And what a lady could do was just curious about what the brothel looked like, so she spent money to see it, and she specifically told her not to let others see it, and she was timid.

Even if it is not because of curiosity, at most, this lady likes women and wants to come to the brothel for fun. For Wanhong, who has seen the world, this is nothing. The girl in the brothel cannot serve any man, and many strange men can't resist it, but she can't serve a woman anymore.

Wanhong followed Banxia to the corner to guide the lady into the brothel. Wanhong kept guessing the lady's appearance on the road. Although she thought it was not a big deal, for ordinary people, the lady's actions could be said to be shocking.

Then a woman who dares to do such shocking things must be the type of King Shan Dawang. She holds a long whip in her hand and waving her tigress, wearing a tiger-skin cloak, her waist is as strong as a bucket, and her legs are as thick as a pillar.

Wanhong outlined the image of a mountain-top queen in her mind. As she thought about it, she laughed out loud.

Banxia looked back at Wanhong in confusion. Why was she laughing? Her eyes narrowed because she smiled.

Banxia shook her head and couldn't figure it out, but she didn't plan to continue thinking. She turned around the corner across the street and said, "Miss, the person is here."

Wanhong immediately looked at the corner of the street with interest, and it was coming, and the queen of the mountain was coming.

But the next moment, after Wanhong saw the appearance of the "Mountain Girl King", the smile of the joke disappeared instantly, and the look of shock gradually appeared in her eyes.

Wanhong has only been in this industry in her life. Because of the special nature of this industry, she has seen countless women, including many women who are peerless beauties.

But Wanhong had to admit that none of the women she had ever seen could be as tall as the person in front of her, with every move and every move, and even more so, it was not blasphemous for walking.

The woman wore a hat and her whole face was shrouded in the hat. Her face was hard to see, but she could still portray her beauty.

Wanhong confirmed immediately that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person. She came to Jucui Pavilion because of the jokes she just thought about.

Wanhong turned accentuated, "I wonder what the most expensive lady is to come to Cui Pavilion?"

Xu Jinyan stepped forward and chuckled: "Miss, you don't have to look so worried. What I want to do will never harm Jucui Pavilion, but Jucui Pavilion needs me to provide me with some convenience. Of course, as a reward, I will give Jucui Pavilion a lot of money."

Wanhong hesitated for a while and said, "I need to discuss this with my aunt in the pavilion to see if she agrees."

"Why do you have to be so troublesome? Since Miss Wanhong is the boss behind this Jiucui Pavilion, why should she ask for other people's consent?" Xu Jinyan smiled.

Wanhong was shocked in an instant. She carefully checked the expression of the woman in front of her, but the appearance inside the hat was faintly vague and she couldn't see clearly at all.

Wanhong is the master behind the scenes of Jucui Pavilion. Even the girls in the Pavilion didn't know about this. Wanhong always felt that only the aunts in the Pavilion and her knew about it.

But how could this woman who came out for no reason tell this matter so confidently?

Wanhong hesitated for a while. It was really hard to tell whether this woman was an enemy or a friend. Since she wanted to enter Jucui Pavilion, let her go first and then observe.

Wanhong stopped smiling and said, "Miss, please come to the palace."

Following Wanhong's footsteps, Xu Jinyan and Banxia Yandong walked through a secluded alley and walked into a less eye-catching side door. As soon as the side door entered, they saw an extremely narrow path, with the road full of messy debris. When they walked, there was almost no place to get off. It was estimated that nine out of ten people passing by the side door didn't want to come in.

But if you only take a few more steps to this messy path, you will suddenly see the clarity and reach the back door of Jucui Pavilion in an instant.

Although the back door was a little deserted, the sound of singing and dancing in the Jucui Tower drifted into my ears from afar, and I felt lively as I heard it.

Wanhong whispered: "Miss, you will follow me to the wing room. I promise you that the second person will never know about your entry into the pavilion today."

Of course, all this has to be based on the money in place.

Xu Jinyan nodded with a smile, "I am relieved to do things in a girl."

Wanhong's expression froze, and she felt a very strange feeling, as if all her actions were under the control of this woman.

Xu Jinyan followed Wanhong into the wing room. The wing room of Jucui Pavilion is divided into an inner room and an outer room. The outer room is a study layout, and the right wall is full of books. A huge table is placed in the middle, with a painting that has not been finished yet.

The window on the left side of the wing room is made of hollowed-out style, with a veil curtain on it. If the veil curtain is lifted, the entire hall of the jewellery will be in front of you.

But Wanhong did not take Xu Jinyan to stay in the outer room, but turned around and entered the inner room.

The environment of the inner room is extremely elegant, but it looks like a woman's boudoir. There is a bed at the eastern end of the inner room, with a screen blocking it outside, so I can't see clearly, so I can only vaguely see the edges and corners of the bed.

The walls around the inner room are full of calligraphy and paintings of famous people, among which there is a picture of lake light landscapes that is the most unique. Without a signature, it is impossible to tell who painted it, but that kind of brushwork is bound to be a masterpiece.

There is a set of porcelain tea sets on the table of red sandalwood, and the white porcelain is finely painted with snow and red plums, which seems to be exactly the same as the brushwork of the lake landscape map.

Xu Jinyan smiled slightly, stepped forward to sit down, took out the teacup and slowly poured a cup of tea. But she didn't drink it, and she didn't even take off the hat. She just shaking the teacup: "Miss Wanhong actually willing to sit in my boudoir for me temporarily. I'm so kind."

Wanhong frowned, took a step back, stared at Xu Jinyan carefully and said, "Miss, what's the point of doing?"

Wanhong understood that the visitor was not good, and the young woman was filled with nobleness and was absolutely extraordinary. She knew herself very well, not only the matter of the master behind the scenes of Jucui Pavilion, but also other things that would never be known to others.

Wanhong clenched his hands tightly and guessed Xu Jinyan's intention.

Xu Jinyan took off his hat and showed a charming face and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I just want Miss Wanfeng to help me find someone and do something. But this is not difficult, and for Zhao Wanfeng, it's just a small task."

Wanhong was shocked and stared at Xu Jinyan.

Zhao Wanfeng... It has been many years since no one has called her this name. This name is so unfamiliar to her that she suddenly heard it, and her first reaction would not even think it was her name.

After so many years of incognito, she hid the name she gave herself deeply because it was a name that could not be revealed in the world, because it was a name that would cause death once it was exposed.

"What do you... do you know?" Wan Hong gritted her teeth and spoke.

Xu Jinyan shook his head and said, "Miss Wanhong, I am not going to threaten you with this matter. If I had this idea, I would not reveal my identity. Seeing this peach blossom birthmark between my forehead, I heard that the master of Jucui Pavilion in Bafang should know who I am."

Wan Hong was so calm that she stared at Xu Jinyan's flower on her forehead and said, "Lord Ning'an."

Xu Jinyan chuckled: "Your Majesty has not made this public yet. Most of the officials in the court should not know about it, but the girl has already received news. Miss Wanhong... indeed did not disappoint me."

Wanhong's original name was Zhao Wanfeng, and he was another survivor of the "Five Kings Rebellion" back then. After the Five Kings Rebellion ended, all the five kings' forces were purged, and the descendants of the five kings were implicated. However, the five princes and the descendants of the last branch of the side branch were extremely large. When there were a large number of people, it was not impossible to escape one or two. Sun Huier was one, and Zhao Wanfeng was the other.

Sun Huier's mother was a descendant of King Huan, while Zhao Wanfeng's father was a descendant of King Min. In his previous life, Sun Huier was exposed as a descendant of King Huan by Zhang Zheng and was sentenced to death on the spot. The prince was also implicated and completely lost the favor of Emperor Qingyu.

Zhao Wanfeng was extremely low-key and had his identity hidden in the brothel, but he was not exposed. After all, who would have thought that Zhao Wanfeng, the descendant of Queen Min, who had the blood of the Northern Ming royal family, would actually hide in a place like the brothel.

However, although brothels are not very nice and are an unavoidable place for ordinary women, brothels are mixed with people and gathered people from all walks of life, ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials and nobles. For example, Li Yangfei, the youngest Imperial Martial Arts Captain of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Yuxuan, the crown prince of the Zhangqing Prince's Mansion, were drinking and talking about joy in the wing room next door.

This kind of place is easy to hide and easy to find out information.

Sun Huier was exposed because of chance, and she was extremely favored by the prince. How could such a person not be noticed? It is reasonable to find out that his life experience was found.

But how did Zhao Wanfeng, who was hiding in a brothel, be exposed? Since no one knew that the largest brothel in the capital, Jucui Pavilion, was her property, then Zhao Wanfeng was just an ordinary brothel woman, and no one wanted to check her details.

If Zhao Wanfeng had been hiding in brothels all his life, I'm afraid no one in the world could find out her true background.

But things in the world are always unpredictable. Sun Huier didn't know her identity but was exposed because she came to the prince. Zhao Wanfeng knew her identity, so she hid her identity in the brothel. She could not be noticed, but she exposed her identity herself.

It was the first year of Yuanhe, Zhao Fei ascended the throne. The Turkic King came to Beiming to discuss the marriage between the Turkic Prince and Princess Beiming. Although it was discussing the marriage, it was actually a demonstration of the Turkic King.

At that time, Zhao Fei had just succeeded to the throne, and all forces were ready to move. Zhao Fei was afraid that he would not be able to sit steadily, so he was extremely afraid of the Turks. The Turkic King came to Beiming in person to demonstrate to Zhao Fei, the new emperor of Beiming.

Zhao Wanfeng was exposed at that time. She assassinated the Turkic King when the Turkic King came to the Northern Ming Dynasty to discuss the marriage.

However, the Turkic King was not dead, and Zhao Wanfeng was captured by the Northern Ming court and executed by Lingchi.

A total of 1,000 knives were cut.

At that time, the people of the capital realized that Wanhong, who always recruited guests from Jucuilou, was actually the orphan of King Min. Wanhong was executed by Lingchi, and Jucuilou was also sealed off.

Zhao Fei was worried that the Turkic King was unhappy because of the assassination of the Turkic King in the Northern Ming Dynasty and returned to the Turkic King to initiate riots. However, at that time, Zhao Fei's position had not yet been firmly settled, and the Northern Ming Dynasty could not withstand any riots, so Zhao Fei obeyed the Turkic King and agreed to all the requests of the Turkic King.

Of course, it was that year that her beautiful daughter Peiyu, who was as beautiful as flowers, was noticed by the elderly Turkic king and was molested to death.

The Turkic King married the legitimate princess of the Northern Ming Dynasty, Duanning, Zhao Fei's eleventh sister, and also took away the legitimate princess Zhao Peiyu of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

Duanning went to the Turks to be the crown princess. Even if the future is bumpy, at least he is a famous and well-off princess. The Turks would not dare to be too presumptuous.

Her jade, who was only seven years old, was the Beiming who left as a toy for the Turkic King's lustful love. She left her father Zhao Fei so much, whom she loved and respected.

How would the Turkic King, who was just a toy for lust and pleasure, treat her? Whenever Xu Jinyan thinks of this, he feels so painful that he can't dig out his heart immediately to relieve the severe pain.

Peiyu, the kindest and sensible girl in the world, suffered the dirtiest and cruelest things in the world before she died. Will that sensible and terrible little girl try to call her "mother" before she dies, will she want her mother to save her, and will she regret not being born for her mother's daughter?

Her mother, her extremely incompetent mother, was trapped in prison and helpless, and could only avenge her in this life. However, in this life, her mother could never find the crying little girl again.

Xu Jinyan knew about Zhao Wanfeng assassinating the Turkic King in prison, because Zhao Wanfeng was imprisoned before being sent to the court to Lingchi to be executed. Although Zhao Wanfeng's cell was far away from Xu Jinyan's cell, Xu Jinyan had seen her when she was escorted in and out, and it was twice.

Later, Xu Jinyan kept thinking during the long and dark days in prison that if Zhao Wanfeng had succeeded in assassinating the Turkic King at that time, the Turkic King would not have taken a fancy to Peiyu, and Peiyu would not have died so miserably.

Xu Jinyan didn't know why Zhao Wanfeng wanted to kill the Turkic King, but obviously there was a feud between Zhao Wanfeng and the Turkic King.

In this life, there will inevitably be a case between Xu Jinyan and the Turkic King.

She and Zhao Wanfeng have a common enemy.

—

Zhao Wanfeng looked at Xu Jinyan with a complicated expression. When she saw the flower on her forehead, she knew that it was the Ning'an man named Xu Jinyan. If he was named the man, then Xu Jinyan would be considered half a royal family.

Since Xu Jinyan knew her true identity, why didn't he report to the emperor, and then led people to encircle Jucuilou and capture her like a relative alive. Instead, he came alone, revealing his true face and asked her to do her a favor.

Zhao Wanfeng hesitated and said, "What's wrong with Master Weng?"

Xu Jinyan looked at Zhao Wanfeng and curled his lips slightly and said, "Don't call me Master Weng. Anyway, this title is not what I deserve. Just call me Jinyan. Miss Wanfeng doesn't need to be too panic. I am a friend but not an enemy. I will never reveal my true identity."
