She needed to see Emperor Qing Feiyang quickly in order to rescue her brother-in-law and Qingyun!
But how could she get into the palace?
In the past, Qing Feiyang would come to the Red Silk Building only after making an appointment with her brother-in-law. However, her brother-in-law was currently in the Dayue prison, so it was impossible for Qing Feiyang to come here.
Hua Nongying slowly approached the Red Silk Building, which still appeared lively and festive.
When the waiter saw her return, he was excited and almost called out to her, but Hua Nongying wearily shook her head at him.
She hadn't slept for a day and a night; she was exhausted and troubled.
She really just wanted a moment of peace.
Hua Nongying slowly went up to the second floor but bumped into a woman coming from the opposite direction.
"Hua Nongying, you're back?" The woman exclaimed in surprise and joy.
"Yes, I want to rest for a bit! Ziyan, don't come looking for me unless it's necessary!" Hua Nongying looked utterly worn out, making her appear quite pitiful.
The woman named Ziyan hurriedly nodded, "Then I'll go attend to the guests!" With that, she was about to leave.
"Wait, what kind of guests are you attending to?" Hua Nongying suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to her. She couldn't meet Qing Feiyang herself, but she could use someone else to meet him!
After all, those who frequent the Red Silk Pavilion are all influential figures; perhaps there is someone who can help me!
"That's the Minister of War Deputy! This man is so indecent. If he wants to chase after women, he should go somewhere else, why come to our Red Silk Pavilion?" Upon hearing this, Ziyan seemed to be filled with anger.
Hua Nongying lowered her head in thought for a moment. After a long while, she raised her head and said with piercing eyes, "Ziyan, you don't need to attend to him. I will go!"
Ma Lele finally believed that it wasn't Tian Feinuo who had captured her.
Because if it were Tian Feinuo who had captured her, he wouldn't have given her the antidote, nor would he be so kind as to send her miscarriage prevention medicine every day!
It must be said that although the medicine was extremely bitter, after drinking it for several days in a row, she felt less weak.
Moreover, her meals were carefully arranged every day. This kind of life hardly resembled that of a prisoner.
The silent man still came to see her every day. Each time Ma Lele tried to pry some information from him, it was always in vain.
Finally, one time she jokingly said, "The person who had you capture me isn't secretly in love with me, is he? Seeing me getting married and unable to bear it, so he had me captured and then sent you all to take care of me because he couldn't face me?"
The man's lips twitched slightly. Is that really the case?
He didn't know the leader's thoughts, but what this girl said seemed to make some sense!
However, could the Sect Master have a crush on someone?
That would be quite surprising!
Seeing that he still remained silent, Ma Lele suppressed a laugh and said, "Hey, you've been too scared to talk to me for so long. Are you afraid your boss will kill you?"
The man was taken aback but still did not speak.
Suddenly, he froze.
The woman in front of him slowly walked closer, extending her smooth and delicate fingers to gently caress his face. Her red lips were enchanting, and her breath was fragrant. The sight was truly captivating! The face of a man who had never been involved with women turned instantly red.
He could only stare blankly at the woman before him, his mind completely empty.
Although she wasn't exceptionally beautiful, her eyes were sincere and clear, subtly possessing a kind of enchanting power.
He swallowed hard, feeling uneasy, and after a long pause, he finally said, "Miss, please behave yourself!"
"Hey, I'm really bored! Besides, I'm not interested in your boss behind you. I actually have quite a good impression of you! How about you take me away?" Ma Lele blinked her eyes and said cutely.
Her words completely stunned the man.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ma Lele pouted in grievance and said, "What? You don't find me attractive? No matter how unattractive I am, it's still better than being surrounded by a bunch of men every day! So, what do you say? Want to consider it?"
The man finally became serious, pushing her hand away and coldly saying, "Miss, this trick won't work on me!"
"What about this one?" Ma Lele suddenly tore off the thin veil covering her clothes, smiling wickedly. "If I scream and attract others over here, I’ll say you took advantage of me! Tell me, how do you think your boss will react?"
The man indeed looked a bit flustered. After all, he was an innocent boy, his face turning red as he said, "You can't frame me!" Originally, the Sect Master had treated this woman unusually; if what she guessed was true and the Sect Master liked her, then if such a thing happened, given the Sect Master's personality, he would definitely kill himself!
"Then tell me your name!" Seeing his reaction, Ma Lele was very satisfied. She plopped down in a chair, munching on snacks while leisurely asking.
The man hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "White Tiger!"
"White Tiger?" Ma Lele frowned. She had met an Azure Dragon and now a White Tiger. Was the next one going to be a Mickey Mouse?
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. You can go tell your boss that I want to see him! Tell him not to hide behind the scenes like a coward! I'm not easily scared; if there are any schemes, bring them out one by one!" Ma Lele said all this in one breath, feeling incredibly grand at that moment. She estimated she was probably the first prisoner to be so carefree and arrogant.
There was no choice; she was also desperate.
If she continued like this, she would eventually live in inexplicable panic and wither away!
White Tiger stared at the woman in front of him in astonishment. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly retreated.
If he really told the Sect Master what this lady said, would the Sect Master kill himself or her?
In the stone chamber.
Bai Hu recounted everything that had happened between him and Ma Lele today, leaving nothing out. He knew that every move he made could not escape the eyes of the sect leader.
"Did she really say that?" The man in the mask seemed somewhat surprised.
Bai Hu nodded, "I wouldn't dare to hide anything!"
"Good, then tell her. I will meet her tonight!" A mysterious smile appeared at the corners of his lips, hidden from others.
Great Wisdom, Hong Shao Building.
After freshening up in her room, Hua Nongying arrived at the room where the Minister of War Deputy was staying, looking vibrant and energetic.
The moment she stepped inside and saw the Minister of War Deputy's disgusting gaze, she almost turned around to leave. However, after some struggle, she forced a charming smile and walked over to sit beside the lecherous old man.
"I never expected that the Peach Blossom Girl would personally accompany me; it truly makes me feel honored!" The Minister of War Deputy, Zhou Yan, gazed at Hua Nongying's graceful figure and beautiful face, nearly drooling.
In her heart, Hua Nongying cursed him countless times, but on her face, she wore a flattering smile. "I have admired Zhou Daren for a long time; it is indeed an honor for me!"
Watching the old lecher's satisfied expression, she poured him a drink while saying, "Actually, Hua Nongying has something to ask for your help, Zhou Daren!"
Upon hearing her words, there was a meaningful glint in Zhou Yan's eyes.
