To be able to use this identity to come and go later, these disguises were a must.
Of course, Su Mingyu understood everything. But looking at those shiny silver needles, she felt a little nervous. "I'm not kidding. Do you really know how to do acupuncture?"
"Sure I do!" Qi Yue raised an eyebrow. "To tell you the truth, I once went to specially learn it. Since the people in my family have been doing hard labor for a long time, their shoulders are not in good condition. So I went to learn acupuncture to relieve their pain."
Hearing Qi Yue's words, Su Mingyu finally felt relieved. "Let me tell you. I'm not alone now. There's a baby in my belly. So be very careful when doing the acupuncture. Don't hurt me."
Qi Yue nodded understandingly. "I know. Lie down."
Although Su Mingyu was still a bit scared, she finally lay down obediently. "You must be extremely careful."
Actually, the acupuncture only looked scary. Su Mingyu carefully felt it and found that it wasn't that painful.
There was even a faint numb feeling.
While feeling the acupuncture, Su Mingyu softly asked, "Apart from being very busy, has Gu Ruobai had any other problems?"
"No." Qi Yue answered almost without thinking. "It's still Zhizhu who's in charge of the prince's mansion. But to be honest, without Tang Ziming's help, the whole mansion seems to be in a complete mess. It doesn't have the steady atmosphere it used to have."
"Tang Ziming?" Su Mingyu murmured doubtfully. "Is it Tang Ziyàn?"
"Yeah!" Qi Yue was just about to ask if she didn't know, but then suddenly remembered that Su Mingyu had been locked up here for a long time and might not know about Tang Ziyàn.
So while doing the acupuncture on Su Mingyu, Qi Yue told her everything about Tang Ziyàn.
Su Mingyu frowned while listening. Logically speaking, with Tang Ziyàn's appearance, he must have suffered a lot. But Su Mingyu didn't expect it to be like this.
She didn't know whether she should feel sorry for him or blame him for tying her up with Tang Yan.
"So, although I was the one who chose him in the southern courtyard back then, it was actually him who deliberately approached me in order to get into the Ruixian Prince's Mansion?"
Although Su Mingyu was asking, there wasn't much doubt in her tone.
"I see..." Su Mingyu let out a long sigh. "I was wondering why I felt his attitude towards me was a bit strange. So he wanted to win over Gu Ruobai through me? Using the beauty trap? That's a good idea."
All of a sudden, Su Mingyu understood everything. "Qi Yue, you've really worked hard during this period. And you'll have to work hard for a while longer. I'm really sorry."
Qi Yue gave an embarrassed smile. "What are you talking about? You're my master. It's no trouble at all to do this for you."
"By the way, there's one more thing I need your help with." Su Mingyu's expression became a bit solemn.
"What is it? Just tell me. As long as it's what you want to do, I'll definitely help you achieve it." Qi Yue's expression was very serious, which made Su Mingyu a bit amused.
"You don't need to be so nervous." Su Mingyu said helplessly. "I just want you to help me sort out all the information Gan Jiangnan has so far, issue a wanted notice, and put it in the black market. Mobilize all the killers to help us find him. Make sure he's alive."
"I understand." Qi Yue nodded. "Then how much should our reward be?"
"One million taels." Su Mingyu held up one finger and then said softly, "Of gold."
"Ah!" Qi Yue widened her eyes. "Master, have you thought it through? One million taels of gold will stir up the whole martial world."
Qi Yue frowned, a bit confused about what Su Mingyu wanted. "Such a big commotion will definitely alert him. It'll be even harder to find him then."
"Do you know the saying 'fish in troubled waters'?" Su Mingyu seemed very calm. "I just want to stir up the water. I want the whole martial world to know that this person is worth one million taels of gold. I want to make him have nowhere to hide."
"But..." Qi Yue still had some concerns. "Anyway, Gan Jiangnan was a military general. He must have a very strong character. What if he can't stand it and commits suicide?"
"He won't." Su Mingyu was very confident about this. "Gan Jiangnan has been through thick and thin with Lin Feng and Gu Ruobai for so many years, but in the end, he still betrayed Gu Ruobai for money."
"This shows that this person has a very weak will and is also very greedy for pleasure. Such a person won't commit suicide easily because he hasn't had enough of life yet."
"I see. As expected of my master. You think more comprehensively than I do." Qi Yue's exaggerated words poured out like water.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Su Mingyu's lips. "Okay, I believe you can handle this well."
As she was speaking, Qi Yue had already skillfully inserted the silver needle into Su Mingyu's arm. Seeing his swift movements, Su Mingyu was a bit surprised. "You even know how to do acupuncture. Can you feel the pulse?"
As soon as Su Mingyu said this, Qi Yue knew what she was going to say next. "I only know a little. Of course, I can feel your pulse to check if you and the baby are safe."
Saying this, Qi Yue inserted the last silver needle into Su Mingyu's body and then reached out to feel her pulse. "Master, don't worry. Your baby is fine."
Hearing Qi Yue's words, Su Mingyu finally let out a long breath. "When you go back, tell Gu Ruobai about this too. Let him not worry so much."
Qi Yue gave a soft "en". "Master, I've noticed that your temper has changed since you got pregnant. Before, you were very independent. Even with the prince by your side, you still prioritized your own affairs."
Saying this, there was a smile on Qi Yue's face. "But now it's different. You not only care about the baby in your belly but also worry a lot about the prince. Look, in the short time I've been here, you've mentioned the prince at least ten times."
Being said like this by Qi Yue, Su Mingyu felt her face getting a bit red. "What do you know? You're not even married yet."
"By the way, master, there's something I want to ask for your permission." Qi Yue suddenly remembered something, and his expression became very serious.
Su Mingyu looked at him suspiciously. "What is it?"
"It's... Can I tell Xia Mian about your situation here? Xia Mian almost comes to my place every day just to know your news."
"Oh..." Su Mingyu suddenly realized. "I even forgot about Xia Mian... You can tell her, but remember to tell only her."
