Chapter 721 - 718: Silly or Not - Part 1
Bai Qingyan’s hand tightened around the teacup. She frowned and asked, "Who took the Crown Prince there?"
Didn’t Old Fang dissuade him? Although Old Fang was considered a vile person, before the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he would never let the Crown Prince do such a... bring a courtesan back to the palace. If the censors got hold of this, it would not end well.
Bai Jinxiu was taken aback. "This... hasn’t been investigated thoroughly."
Bai Qingyan covered the cup with the lid. "Who took the Crown Prince there needs thorough investigation! The Crown Prince couldn’t have suddenly gone to a brothel! Has the background of the person brought into the Crown Prince’s residence been investigated clearly?"
Bai Jinxiu nodded, pulling a thin piece of paper from her sleeve and handing it to Bai Qingyan. "This was sent to be investigated. The girl taken into the Crown Prince’s residence is called Hongmei, a clean courtesan."
Bai Qingyan set down her teacup and took the paper, unfolding it. Detailed information about Hongmei’s background was recorded on it. It seemed quite clean. It was said that because of her impoverished family, she was sold to a broker. Unexpectedly, the broker saw that Hongmei was clean and pretty and had evil intentions, selling her to a brothel.
But Hongmei was extremely stubborn. She swore she wouldn’t sell her body. The brothel madam, seeing that Hongmei was beautiful and had spent a lot of money training her in the arts, feared this girl might hang herself, so she only let her sell her skills, not her body.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince saw Hongmei while in disguise. After a night together, he sent people to take Hongmei into the Crown Prince’s residence. Naturally, the person who redeemed Hongmei didn’t reveal that the redeemer was the Crown Prince.
