C150 (1/2)

On the other side, Qiu Hong had already rushed to Prince Yongning's residence and was stopped as expected.

When she came here, she had already guessed the outcome. What kind of place was the Prince's Mansion? It was not a place where a single piece of cloth like her could go.

However, Su Zhi was imprisoned. In the entire Xuan City, only Lu Huan had the ability to save people.

”Little brother, you guys do well. Go inform them that Hua Manlou's men are here to see His Highness.”

The guard waved his hand impatiently. ”You should hurry up and leave. Who is our prince? Do you think you can easily meet him?”

”His Highness is a regular customer of Flower ManLou, you will definitely inform him. I dare to guarantee that His Highness will not ignore this.”

”Go, go and behave atrociously elsewhere. Do you want to enter the palace as you please?”

Qiu Hong stomped her feet in anxiety. She could not do anything about being stopped outside the door. When she thought of Su Zhi's predicament and how she was unwilling to leave, she could only wait outside the mansion anxiously.

At this moment, Lu Huan Zhi was leaning back in his teacher's chair with his legs crossed as he listened to Mei Ji play the zither.

Qiu Hong was unwilling to leave, so the butler brought the matter to Lu San's ears.

Hearing that it was Hua Manlou's people, Lu San's first reaction was Su Zhi.

However, when he went out to take a look, he realized that the person who had come was not the one that the crown prince was interested in.

”Butler, how long has that girl been standing outside?”

”It's been a while, but I refuse to leave. I've come to ask for your opinion.”

Although Lu San wasn't familiar with Qiu Hong, he still felt that it was necessary to let Lu Huan Zhi know that she had come for him.

”I'll go report to his majesty right now. All of you, look after him.”

The butler obeyed and stopped Qiu Hong from being stopped. He only asked the servants to keep an eye on her movements.

”Your Highness!”

When Lu San came to report on the situation, Lu Huan was still wandering in the zither music. Seeing that the attendant had disturbed her mood, she even felt slightly displeased.

”What are you doing, noisy.”

”Your Highness, a woman came from outside and said that she's from Flower Mansion.”

At the mention of Hua Manlou, Lu Huan put away his impatience and asked, ”What's the matter with her?”

”I didn't ask, I just wanted to tell you.”

”Then invite the person in.”

After receiving his orders, Lu San ran over to pass on the message, asking the gatekeeping guards to bring Qiu Hong in.

Qiu Hong, who was already dispirited and ready to leave, followed the butler to Lu Huan Zhi's yard with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Lu Huan's Qiu Hong kneel down, ”Your Highness! Your Highness, please save our boss! ”

Lu Huan hated women crying the most in her life. Seeing her like this, she quickly got Lu San to help her up and ask a question.

”Speak slowly, don't be anxious. What happened to Mistress Su?”

Qiu Hong wiped away her tears and replied, ”Not long ago, the government took our boss away. We don't know how the situation is right now, and we thought that His Highness might be able to help, so we came to find you.”

Hearing that Su Zhi had been taken away, Lu Huan Zhi was also puzzled.

This woman was quite capable. She failed to get to the yamen yesterday and insisted on going today. He couldn't stop her.

”Why was she taken away?”

”The officials said that the boss is colluding with the merchant.”

Lu Huan Zhi stood up with a cold look on his face.

The cover used to capture people was not meticulous at all. He dared to use all sorts of lousy reasons to cause trouble. He didn't know who this woman had provoked, but she had caused trouble for him time and time again.

”I got it. I'll go to the yamen now to ask around.”

Qiu Hong thanked him gratefully and followed Lu Huan to the yamen.

It was only when they arrived at the yamen that they found out he had been released and asked for directions. It was only then that they found out that they had not returned to Flower Mansion, but had gone outside of Xuan City.

Lu Huan's eyes narrowed, and he slapped his forehead with his folding fan, ”It's broken.”

”Lu San, prepare a horse for my son!” I want to leave the city! ”

This woman probably didn't know that she had fallen into his trap.

The murder case asked her to investigate, so why did she need to go to the yamen? Yet, she chose to follow him without thinking clearly about anything.

After waiting for the manservant to lead the horse, Lu Hengzhi didn't have enough time to explain. She mounted the horse and galloped towards Xuan City's city gate.

It was almost noon. The sky was so dark that it seemed like it was going to rain. The pedestrians on the street had already dispersed.

Su Zhi followed the two constables out of the city. The place they arrived at became more and more remote.
