"Where's that handsome guy who came with me? Where did he go?" Su Qingwen was terribly frightened and immediately grabbed Mama Hua's clothes and asked.
"This?" Mama Hua was also stunned. She glanced back at the people behind her, and her heart sank heavily. He was just here a moment ago. How could he disappear in a flash?
"Maybe he went out to relieve himself!" Her eyes lit up, and she said, "I saw him drink quite a lot just now. Maybe he couldn't hold it in anymore."
Drink? Su Qingwen's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Oh no, what should she do? Not only had Hua Xue'er gone missing, but he even drank alcohol. What if he was targeted by some hooligans? The consequences would be unimaginable!
" Ning Yunqing!" Without caring about anything else, she immediately rushed into the crowd to see if Ning Yunqing was there. If he was by Hua Xue'er's side, at least there would be someone to take care of her, and nothing too serious would happen.
After looking around, she didn't find Ning Yunqing. It was okay. He should be with Hua Xue'er. Su Qingwen patted her chest and finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, before she could be happy for long, a faint voice came from the ground.
"Princess... hic... you..." A drunkard was lying on the ground, hugging a wine bottle, with a sleepy and hazy look, hiccupping.
Oh my god! Su Qingwen almost fainted. Wasn't this Ning Yunqing? How could he be so drunk? It was so scary!
This bastard! She gave him a chance to chase a girl, but he had no ambition and came here to drink. Su Qingwen twitched the corner of her mouth, showing a smile that was uglier than crying.
She stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar: "Ning Yunqing, you bastard, where did Hua Xue'er go?"
" No... hic..." A strong smell of alcohol came from him immediately. Su Qingwen felt like she was about to be suffocated.
With a "slap", she slapped the man on the face: "You stupid idiot. See if I can't wake you up today!"
As if dancing, Su Qingwen slapped him on both sides of the face. The man's cheeks immediately turned red. Then, he raised his eyes, as if regaining consciousness, and asked Su Qingwen in surprise.
"What happened? Why does my face hurt so much?"
"Um... you were dreaming just now and accidentally slapped yourself." Su Qingwen wasn't stupid. She would never admit that she had done such a cruel thing.
【System: Honey, telling lies with your eyes open. You're really so shameless.】
"Shut up! Hua Xue'er is missing. Can I not be anxious?"
"Really?" Ning Yunqing touched his cheek and felt it was swollen. What the hell? How could he be so cruel to himself?
"Yeah. That's not important. Where do you think Hua Xue'er has gone?" Su Qingwen shook his shoulders vigorously and asked severely.
"Princess? Is she missing?" Ning Yunqing widened his eyes, and the alcohol immediately wore off. He looked at Su Qingwen in panic, and his face turned extremely pale.
"You stupid idiot! If she gets lost, Hua Yueye will definitely twist off your head and mine. Go and find her for me quickly!" Su Qingwen was so angry that she stood up and kicked the man: "Hurry up!"
"Um, young master, what happened?" Mama Hua saw that something was wrong and immediately came over to support Su Qingwen's arm.
"Block up the Ten Thousand Flowers Courtyard for me. No one is allowed to go out. No, not even a fly can fly out." Su Qingwen took a deep breath, feeling so angry that her head hurt.
【System: Host, since you have just successfully completed the side quest, you can get a reward. Next, it's the lucky draw session. You can draw a lottery to get clues to find Hua Xue'er.】
"Okay. Finally, there's some good news." Su Qingwen sighed: "Hurry up. If it's any later, Hua Xue'er will be sold to the Philippines."
【System: No way. There are no planes here. You can't get there at all. And there are no ships. Honey, you have no common sense at all. I'm really ashamed of you.】
"What?" Su Qingwen widened her eyes: "Bah. I was just exaggerating. Do you know the rhetorical device of exaggeration? You're even ashamed of me. Who gave you the courage and confidence?"
【System: Okay. Don't discuss this issue anymore. Hurry up and draw the lottery.】
As she said that, a large turntable about half a person's height appeared in front of Su Qingwen. There were all kinds of colorful prizes written on it. She didn't have time to look at them now. She just hoped to find Hua Xue'er quickly.
She closed her eyes, prayed to God for a while, and then reached out and turned the turntable hard.
"Whirring" The turntable spun rapidly and didn't stop for a long time. Su Qingwen began to regret. Did she use too much strength just now?
Finally, the pointer stopped in a red area. Su Qingwen looked at it eagerly and asked, "What does this mean?"
【System: Let me analyze it. Red represents danger. The direction the pointer pointed to just now is the north. So Hua Xue'er should be in the north. Go in that direction. There's no mistake!】
"Really? Are you sure you're not fortune - telling?" For some reason, Su Qingwen thought this system was so mysterious, just like a fortune - teller.
【System: If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it.】
Why did this sentence sound so familiar? Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and began to recall.
No. Isn't this the famous quote of a scumbag? Oh my god. This system is really a scumbag!
Just as she was thinking, a shrill voice suddenly came from outside.
"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"
"Ah?" The emperor was here? Everyone was shocked and seemed unable to believe their ears. But when they saw the imperial guards, their legs went weak, and they immediately fell to the ground.
Oh my god. The emperor came to a brothel. This was really the most astonishing news in the world!
"Ah? Hua Yueye? Why did he come here?!" Su Qingwen covered her lips. Her little face was not just pale with shock; it was ashen. She had secretly run out of the palace, used Hua Yueye's name, and lost his sister. What should she do?
Su Qingwen lowered her head and silently recited in her heart, "He can't see me. He can't see me. Hua Yueye definitely can't see me."
However, she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps stop in front of her. She slightly raised her eyes, and a pair of long boots embroidered with bright yellow dragon patterns appeared in front of her.
The man's voice was deep and full of dignity: "Su Qingwen, so you've come to a brothel to have fun? Can't the palace hold you anymore? Right?"
