Behind him were two people dressed as servants. However, they were a little clumsy and awkward when they walked. Behind the servants was a guard. Compared to the three of them, he looked much taller.
“Don’t be afraid.” Shen Miao said, “Be brave. Don’t give yourself away.”
These four people were none other than Shen Miao, Jingzhe, Gu Yu, and Mo Qing.
Jingzhe and Gu Yu were not used to wearing men’s clothes. They looked like they were in pain, but Shen Miao was very calm, which surprised Mo Qing. However, little did they know that when Shen Miao was a hostage in the State of Qin, she was teased by the royal family and was asked to dress up as a man for a few months. Now she felt quite comfortable in man’s clothes.
After the three of them got into the carriage, Mo Qing personally drove the carriage. Gu Yu asked Shen Miao, “Miss, are we really going to the Treasure Fragrance Chamber?”
“Of course.”
“But…” Gu Yu said,” Can’t we talk outside? If someone sees you inside the brothel…” She couldn’t continue, because Gu Yu didn’t know what would happen if women were found patronizing a brothel.
“Treasure Fragrance Chamber is a place to do business. As long as one offers money, one will be welcomed.”
Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes. Shen Miao was very decisive. Whatever she made up her mind to do, no one could change it. Now that they had already come this far, they could only bite the bullet and finish it.
In the elegant room in the Pleasure Restaurant, someone lifted the curtain and walked in. Ji Yushu said, “Third Brother Xie, you came at the right time. I have something to tell you, Prince Ding…”
“Wait.” Gao Yang suddenly said. His hand that was holding the wine glass paused and he muttered to himself, “Why is it different this time?”
“What’s different?” Xie Jingxing sat down at the window and poured himself a cup of tea, following Gao Yang’s gaze.
A carriage stopped at the entrance of the Treasure Fragrance Chamber and a few people got out. The person in the lead was Mo Qing, and behind him were three young men.
“In the past, Mo Qing was always alone. Why are there so many of them here today? Did Shen Miao instruct them to come?” Gao Yang held his chin and sized them up.
“Let me see.” Ji Yushu craned his neck to take a look. A thought flashed across his mind. “Could it be that this is how Miss Shen treats her subordinates? Whoever does a good job will be rewarded with money to have fun in the Treasure Fragrance Chamber. I also want to be her subordinate!”
“Get lost.” Gao Yang pushed Ji Yushu’s head away and said, “Why do I feel that these people look a little familiar?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xie Jingxing spat out a mouthful of tea.
“Third Brother!” Ji Yushu, who was spat at in the face, jumped up. As he wiped his face, he said angrily, “What are you doing!”
Xie Jingxing ignored him and stared at the people downstairs in surprise. “She actually came in person.”
“She?” Gao Yang took another look at the group of people carefully. When he saw it clearly, he almost fell over.
Who else could the young man in the lead be but Shen Miao?
In the world, there were really women who disguised themselves as men to patronize a brothel. If Gao Yang hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that such a thing would only appear in opera.
Shen Miao followed Mo Qing into the Treasure Fragrance Restaurant. When the girl at the door saw Mo Qing, she went up to him with a smile and said, “Master Mo, still Miss Liu Ying, right?”
Mo Qing nodded. The girl seemed to have just noticed the people behind Mo Qing and hesitated for a moment. “These people…”
