Unexpectedly, it was just as Gu Junxiu had said. These snacks were surprisingly delicious, neither too sweet nor too greasy, they melted immediately after entering his mouth. She no longer had time to discuss with him why he had come to the brothel and could not wait to stuff them into her mouth.

"Eat slower." When Gu Junxiu saw her wolfing down the tea, he placed a cup of tea into her hands. As she was eating happily, she suddenly heard light footsteps coming from outside. Before she could swallow her food, a girl with a lute stood in front of them and said in a soft voice, "The two gongzis have been waiting for a long time, Ying Ying came too late."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her in a daze, very curious as to why there was no signs of Feng Chen on the body of a brothel lady like her. She swallowed the dessert that was filled with difficulty. Who knew that she would choke on it? "Water, quickly give me water, cough cough."

Gu Junxiu looked at her helplessly. Only after she drank a cup of water did she feel a sense of comfort in her throat. Inadvertently seeing that the clear and cold girl Ying Ying's eyes had a smile in them, Ruan Xiaonuan could not help but blush, and tried her best to calm herself down.

"What would the two gongzis like to hear?" Ying Ying waited for them to quiet down before she asked. Gu Junxiu did not seem to have the intention to speak, and since Ruan Xiaonuan did not know about the pipa, she could only randomly say, "Play a song."

It was unknown if it was just an illusion on Ruan Xiaonuan's part, but ever since Ying Ying entered the room, Gu Junxiu became even colder than before.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not ask any further and started to observe that Ying Ying girl. Who would have thought that what she was playing with was actually another scene. That kind of desolate and sorrowful feeling that came from the inside, causing one to be immersed in it. Just as she finished playing her lute, she had a feeling that she hadn't finished yet.

"Here, have some snacks." Ruan Xiaonuan was moved by the heavenly music just now and was immediately filled with sympathy towards her.

Ying Ying placed the lute to the side and said softly, "Many thanks, Young Master." No matter what they said, Gu Junxiu did not speak a word.

Ruan Xiaonuan's words were so dry that she couldn't find anything to talk about to watch the lively atmosphere, causing the room to fall into a deathly silence.

"I'm playing a song for the two gongzis." All the women in the brothel had eyes, so they naturally knew how to read their guests' minds. Her words struck straight at Ruan Xiaonuan's intentions, and she immediately nodded.

The beauty carried the lute and covered her body's side. However, it was precisely this kind of half-naked posture that made one feel that it was breathtakingly beautiful. Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly thought of the poems she had learned before. She understood why poets could write such beautiful poems.

Seeing that Gu Junxiu was still sitting there indifferently, she could not help but ask, "Aren't you here to visit the brothels? Why did you not say a word? "

He did not reply to her, but coldly looked at Ying Ying, and said, "Change it to the Dongqing Kingdom music." Ruan Xiaonuan thought that he did not have a clear mind and laughed, "Miss Ying Ying is someone from the Xiyue Kingdom, how could she know the tune of the Dongqing Kingdom?"

To her surprise, Ying Ying didn't say a word, but a completely different tune began to play in the private room. She looked at him in astonishment and realized that today was not the only day that she was going to visit the brothel.

After the song ended, Ying Ying walked down with the lute in his arms as he coldly said, "I've embarrassed myself." Ruan Xiaonuan said in a flattering manner, "Listening to Miss Ying Ying's lute, feels like music to the heavens."

Ying Ying's face reddened from her undisguised praise. She lowered her head slightly and said with a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Young master, you flatter me."

Gu Junxiu suddenly grabbed her hand, and coldly asked: "What is your relationship with Xiao Ce?" Ruan Xiaonuan hadn't even had the time to react to what was happening, and was already sitting there in a daze.

Ying Ying's eyes revealed a trace of fear that was hard to detect. He casually said, "I don't know the person that Young Master mentioned."

Gu Junxiu looked at her hand, his eyes revealing a cold light. He was trying his best in the dark, but he was rebounded. Without a doubt, this seemingly delicate Ying Ying knew martial power, and his cultivation wasn't low either.

"What are you doing?" Ruan Xiaonuan finally reacted and asked curiously. Gu Junxiu immediately released his hand, and said as if nothing had happened, "My apologies."

When they came out of Red House, Ruan Xiaonuan had abandoned their previous awkwardness, so she asked, "Why did you say that Miss Ying Ying is related to Xiao Ce?" She only knew that Xiao Ce was the Second Prince of Dongqing Kingdom, and nothing else.

Gu Junxiu could see the desire to learn in her eyes, and wanted to ease their relationship. Hence, he decided to sit in the carriage and told her about what happened to Madam Shen.

Without waiting for him to explain the consequences, Ruan Xiaonuan took the lead and said, "If Your Majesty believes in it, the two of you brothers will become estranged, and at that time, the Xiyue Kingdom will collapse on his own."

Gu Junxiu looked at her with praise. As expected of a woman that he placed in his heart, she was always able to see through the essence of things with a single glance.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not care what he was thinking right now, and she suddenly shouted, "Do you think that Miss Ying Ying from the Red House is Xiao Ce's spy in the Xiyue Kingdom? They were the ones who did it last time? "

Gu Junxiu's face instantly became as cold as ice, but his tone was calm as he said, "When that happened, Xiao Ce was still in Xiyue Kingdom. After that, when I sent someone to look into it, the clues were cut off in this brothel, as if someone was deliberately obstructing them from doing so. " He paused.

Then, he continued to explain to Ruan Xiaonuan, "Since ancient times, brothels have always been an integral part of the intelligence network.

Ruan Xiaonuan nodded, feeling a bit guilty. Previously, she had ridiculed him, but she did not expect him to come to the brothel on official business. Gu Junxiu had roughly guessed what she was thinking and joked, "Am I really that kind of virtuous hypocrite in your heart?"

The expression on his face relaxed a lot. It was no longer as cold as it was a thousand miles away. But Ruan Xiaonuan was not used to it, she suddenly remembered that they were still quarrelling, so what was with that simple conversation? So she stepped away from him.

How could Gu Junxiu allow her to do as she pleased, he immediately pulled her back, and was even closer than before. He moved his lips closer to Ruan Xiaonuan's ear and said softly, "What? You want to leave me just like that? "
