Yuan Yuan smiled. “You must be Hui Che, right? So cute!”
“Coo~” Hui Che puffed out his chest proudly.
Human, you’ve got good taste. This pigeon is indeed very cute!
“You can actually understand what I’m saying?” Yuan Yuan thought. No wonder Tang Wan even gave a pigeon a name—so it really is different.
“Coo~” What’s so hard about understanding humans? I’ve known how for ages. Hmph, not talking to you anymore—I’m leaving.
Hui Che flapped his wings and shot into the sky, quickly disappearing into the night.
Yuan Yuan smiled and shook her head before opening the small bamboo tube and taking out the note inside.
There were two pieces of paper. One was a miniature map.
The other had only four words written on it—Huangfu Rongsheng!
Yuan Yuan frowned and fell into thought.
Judging by the handwriting, it was from Young Master Yu.
But why would he write Huangfu Rongsheng’s name?
Although she had never met him, she had heard plenty about him since arriving in the capital.
It was said that he was Huangfu Yi’s only son. Relying on his noble status, he bullied men and women alike and committed all sorts of misdeeds… hmm? Wait!
Bullied men and women?
Yuan Yuan’s eyes shifted slightly, and she immediately went downstairs to find Fendai.
Fendai had once mentioned that, in the brothel she used to work at, she was quite familiar with Huangfu Rongsheng.
As it turned out, Yuan Yuan had come to the right person.
Fendai wasn’t just familiar with him—she summed him up in one sentence: “Good-looking, generous with money. As long as you satisfy him, the rewards are plenty. A perfect sucker!”
Yuan Yuan raised an eyebrow. “Is he very lustful?”
“More than just lustful!” Fendai said with disdain. “He has endless tricks in bed and all sorts of ways to torment women. Back at the brothel, none of the girls wanted to serve him. I didn’t mind—I was in that line of work anyway and wanted to save up money to buy my freedom, so I served him several times.”
Yuan Yuan smiled upon hearing this and spun around once. “Then tell me—would someone like me attract him?”
Fendai was startled. “Sister Yuan Yuan, you’re not joking, are you?”
“I’m serious.”
“No, no! Sister Yuan Yuan, you’re different from me. You’re talented, beautiful, and not short of money. Besides, those young masters who come for you—aren’t they all better than that scoundrel Huangfu Rongsheng? Don’t do anything reckless!”
“Just tell me—would he like me or not?”
“Like you? If he saw you, he’d definitely drag you back to the prince’s residence and torment you!”
Fendai truly couldn’t understand why Yuan Yuan would have such a frightening idea.
That was Rongsheng—the young lord people feared. Strip away his title, and he was nothing but a rogue!
“I have my own plans,” Yuan Yuan said, sitting beside her and taking her hand. “Dear Fendai, I’ll need your help this time.”
“I won’t—”
“You can’t say no. Didn’t you say I’m clever? I won’t let myself suffer.”
“But—”
“No ‘buts’! I promise I’ll protect myself properly, alright?”
“…Alright then.” Fendai, unable to resist Yuan Yuan’s persistence, finally agreed. “So what are you planning to do?”
“Come closer,” Yuan Yuan said. “Tomorrow, we’ll do this…”
…
At this time, Mu Qingfeng had also arrived at the prince’s residence and was examining Huangfu Ronglan.
After finishing the examination, he let out a deep sigh of relief. “Fortunately, it’s not a particularly powerful gu—just a ‘madness worm’ gu.”
Huangfu Yi’s eyes lit up. “Can it be removed?”
