Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 181 A Woman of Righteousness

Before Master Murong could answer, Ye Yucheng took the initiative to express his sincerity.

"Miss Bai, if you need any help from me, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to help you."

Qin Bingrui gave him a surprised look and jokingly said, "Not bad, bro! How did you suddenly become so enlightened?"

Ye Yucheng's tone remained cold: "I am working for the emperor. The people of Wangzhou are all his subjects. I am helping them, and naturally I am working for the emperor."

Qin Bingrui curled his lips arrogantly and said in a pretentious tone, "That makes sense."

Luo Yu asked everyone to sit down before he brought out his last risky move.

"What, sister, you want to use the Queen's sword to govern the Marquis of Qingyang's mansion?"

Not to mention Qin Bingrui's disbelief, Master Murong and Ye Yucheng were also shocked.

But they would never express their emotions in words like Qin Bingrui did.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Murong thought for a long time before expressing his thoughts: "Why would the Queen govern the Marquis' Mansion? If it was just because the Marquis' Mansion was corrupt and perverted the law, why would the Queen intervene?"

Luo Yu smiled and looked at Ye Yucheng.

Ye Yucheng didn't answer, but instead offered his own opinion: "Why don't you ask His Royal Highness Prince Rui and His Royal Highness Prince Ning for help? Aren't you very familiar with the two princes?"

Luo Yu smiled and continued, "There's no problem doing business with them, but it's better to be cautious when it comes to political issues between brothers.

Prince Rui has never been involved in state affairs. If he were to speak, the Emperor might not believe him. With Concubine Mo whispering in the Emperor's ear, do you think the Emperor would trust his favorite concubine or this brother with whom he has a mediocre relationship?

"What about Prince Ning?"

"Even brothers shouldn't be mentioned. Anyway, as men, you have brothers at home. Think about it, would you listen to your younger brother? Even if you do, think about the interests between you two afterwards. Why should your younger brother interfere in his own family affairs?"

Qin Bingrui slammed the table and said with emotion: "Sister, how come you know so much about these trivial matters between men?"

Murong and Ye Yucheng: It seems like they are innocent victims...

Ye Yucheng nodded, agreeing, and asked, "Then how can we get the Queen to stand on our side? Moreover, she can also help us go to Dou Hou Mansion."

Luo Yu chuckled and said slowly: "That's easy. I came from the palace and used to be close to the queen."

She didn't plan to hide it from everyone anymore. Ye Yucheng was going to capture the white tiger anyway, and he would probably bring her back to the palace because she understood the animal language. So, to put it bluntly, the white tiger hadn't been found, and it was impossible for him to capture her alive now.

"Miss Bai, you..."

Ye Yucheng had thought of this possibility, but ultimately rejected the idea. After all, he hadn't heard of anyone escaping from the palace... It turned out that everything was covered up very well by the Queen.

Qin Bingrui was afraid that he would think about how to arrest Luo Yu's sister and bring her back to the palace, so he immediately prevaricated him: "Master Ye, there is no rush now. Once the matter is resolved, it will not be too late for you to arrest my sister."

Murong: Just like that, I betrayed my so-called sister...

Ye Yucheng fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Miss Bai, what exactly do you want from telling me the truth?"

Luo Yu smiled and poured tea for everyone.

She held the cup with her slender fingers, brought it to her lips, and took a sip of tea. A faint fragrance lingered on her lips.

Her eyes and eyebrows were smiling, but she seemed to be wrapped in a layer of light mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Of course, I don't want to reveal my identity unless it's absolutely necessary. Now that I've said this, I'm not afraid of your decision. I'm uneasy about whoever you assign to this matter. I would only like to trouble you two gentlemen to take my letter and the evidence of the Wangzhou corruption case to the Anguo Mansion. Then, the Anguo Duke will personally deliver the letter to the Queen. As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate."

Qin Bingrui finally understood.

"Sister, you are taking advantage of the dispute between the Queen and Concubine Mo over the throne, and then the two sides are fighting each other.

That's a good move! The key is, how can you ensure that the Queen will help you? "

"Of course I have my confidence. If Lord Ye is willing to help me and the people of Wangzhou, my future whereabouts will still be determined by Lord Ye."

Murong stood up suddenly.

"There's no need for Lord Ye to go. I can do it alone."

Lord Ye: ...

Luo Yu smiled helplessly: "I've thought that only Lord Ye's Imperial City Bureau's token can persuade the Duke of Anguo. Besides, you have to bring a witness with you, not just one person."

Qin Bingrui sighed: "Indeed, even if I go, it will be useless. Why would the Duke of Anguo trust a prostitute like me?"

Turning to look at Ye Yucheng, he said seriously, "This matter can only be done by Lord Ye, who is highly skilled in martial arts and has the status of the Imperial City Commissioner. For the sake of the suffering people of Wangzhou, Lord Ye, thank you for your hard work."

Murong followed up with moral blackmail: "Master Ye, if we can successfully handle this matter, the Marquis of Qingyang's mansion will at least be ordered by the Emperor to have its property confiscated and then be exiled to the frontier.

With the emperor's profound understanding of justice, he will surely allocate some money to aid Wangzhou, and the victims in Wangzhou will be saved..."

Ye Yucheng: ...

He looked at Miss Luo Yu again, whose face showed no fear at all. As a woman, was she really fearless?

According to the laws of the time, women who escaped from the palace were punishable by death.

Luo Yu naturally knew what he was thinking. He smiled and continued, "If you are worried that the Duke of Anguo will not take the letter to the Queen, just tell me my real name. I am Jiang Qiuning, and I am from Wangzhou. I am sure that when the Duke of Anguo hears this name, he will immediately deliver the items you bring to the palace."

Qin Bingrui almost wiped away his tears. Sister Luo Yu was very understanding and chose to sacrifice herself for the sake of countless people who had nothing to do with her.

When I think about it carefully, something is not right. Could Sister Luo Yu be such a kind, simple and righteous person?

It doesn't look like it.
