In this world, is skill really useful?

It depends on the context!

If you retaliate now, you will be disobeying the Ministry of Justice's orders and will be wanted by the imperial court.

No matter how strong you are, you will still be defeated!

……

Xu Lingyue had only run a short distance when she saw a group of armored soldiers rush out and surround Su Nan.

She was immediately alarmed, knowing that something was wrong.

I must find someone to save Brother Su.

Going home now would be useless. Although my father was a centurion of the Imperial Guard, compared to the Vice Minister of Revenue, he was just a nobody!

Xu Lingyue immediately turned around and ran towards Yingmei Pavilion.

First, inform Miss Fuxiang about this matter. She has many connections and we'll see if she can handle it.

Then we'll go to the Princess's residence!

Her Highness the Eldest Princess appreciates Brother Su so much, she certainly won't sit idly by.

Chapter 16 Su Nan was arrested?! [Seeking flowers and monthly tickets]

Jiaofang Division.

Two elegantly dressed young women stood at the entrance of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue), their expressions somewhat hesitant.

The girl on the far left, dressed in a red silk robe, seemed a little guilty and said, "Pingyang, it's not appropriate for us to come to the Jiaofangsi in broad daylight."

"If someone sees this, wouldn't it cause a misunderstanding?"

Lin'an certainly knew what the Jiaofangsi was!

A place of dust and grime!

How dare a princess, the crown prince's younger sister, enter and leave such a place!

The news that 8521 is affecting 04278 is terrible!

If the Empress Dowager finds out, she'll smash her head in.

Standing beside Lin'an was her best friend, Princess Pingyang, the only daughter of Prince Yu.

Pingyang's demeanor is the complete opposite of the unrestrained Lin'an; it is tranquil and natural, exuding an air of nobility.

She covered her mouth and laughed, "If you don't come during the day, do you intend to come at night?"

"It was even more lively back then."

Lin'an thought about it and realized that this made sense.

It's better to come during the day.

I'd better get on with my business.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go find Su Nan."

You have to speak up for me!

"As long as Su Nan agrees, I'm sure I can outshine Huai Qing at this poetry gathering!"

Lin'an seemed to already see himself overshadowing Huaiqing at the poetry gathering, and his lovely face was beaming with joy.

Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "Of course I will help you!"

"It's too difficult to get Brother Su to be your guest advisor."

"But it's just writing a few poems for you, that shouldn't be a problem. Once he's had a good time, it'll be hard to stop him from writing poems!"

"..."

Lin'an nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

In fact, she was very curious about this Su Zhexian.

I've heard that this man is a romantic and dashing figure, whose talent, combined with the wine he drinks, can be transformed into timeless and popular poems.

But I've never seen it.

Today she'll see just what kind of person is worthy of the title "immortal banished to heaven"!

"This Su Zhexian is so famous, yet he doesn't even own a house in the capital. Whether this deal succeeds or fails, I'll give him a mansion!"

"Brother Su has never cared about these material things. Having a place to drink is enough for him. By the way, did you bring any wine? Don't forget."

"I brought it, I brought it! It's all fine wine from the palace. I took it out secretly, I guarantee he's never tasted such good wine before!"

"Then there's no problem. Brother Su loves drinking the most."

"..."

Lin'an and Pingyang chatted as they walked into the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).

The Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district) was deserted during the day, a stark contrast to its bustling activity at night.

Pingyang was clearly not a first-timer at the Jiaofangsi, and seemed quite familiar with the place, leading Lin'an to the Yingmei Pavilion.

"Brother Su has been staying at Yingmei Pavilion these past few days, and he should be here today as well."

Pingyang arrived at the door and was about to knock.

A woman dressed in a light blue silk robe hurriedly ran out of the Shadow Plum Pavilion.

Princess Pingyang was unable to dodge in time and was nearly bumped into by the woman.

"Please forgive me!"

The woman simply bowed to Princess Pingyang to express her apology, and then hurriedly left.

Lin'an's face immediately darkened with anger, and he asked, "Who is this person?"

"He hit someone and didn't even apologize."

This brothel was indeed no good place.

Princess Pingyang quickly pulled Lin'an back, saying, "It's alright, I'm fine."

"Judging from the woman's anxious expression, perhaps something urgent has happened."

Lin'an stomped her foot angrily.

"Ok."

Pingyang and Lin'an then entered Yingmei Pavilion.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Fu Xiang and her maids, who looked troubled.

"Miss Fuxiang, what's wrong?"

This wasn't the first time Pingyang had come to Yingmei Pavilion to see Su Nan, so he naturally knew Fu Xiang.

Fu Xiang's face lit up with joy when she saw Ping Yang.

She quickly stepped forward and bowed to Princess Pingyang.

"Princess Pingyang, you've come at just the right time. Please save Su Lang."

The person who almost bumped into Pingyang was Xu Lingyue, who had come to Yingmei Pavilion to deliver the news.

When Fu Xiang learned that Su Lang had been taken away by the Ministry of Justice, she was extremely anxious.

Although she was a spy for the Demon Kingdom, she certainly couldn't use the Demon Kingdom's power to rescue Su Nan.

Although Fu Xiang initially used Su Nan's fame to gain recognition in the capital, after spending several years together, she had already developed feelings for Su Nan.

So her anxiety at this moment is indeed genuine.

Princess Pingyang was also startled when she heard Fu Xiang's words.

"Brother Su has been arrested by the Ministry of Justice?"

"Tell me exactly what happened."

Why was Brother Su taken away by the Ministry of Justice when he was perfectly fine?

Fu Xiang didn't really know what had happened either.

Xu Lingyue rushed over just now and only said that Su Nan had been taken away by the Ministry of Justice; she didn't say anything else.

Upon hearing this, Lin'an immediately panicked!

Su Nan was the key figure in whether she could outshine Huai Qing at the poetry gathering, how could she be arrested by the Ministry of Justice!

Without saying a word, Lin'an pulled Pingyang away.

"What are you still asking? Let's go to the Ministry of Justice right now and demand their release!"

Pingyang also thought it made sense, and hurriedly went to the Ministry of Justice with Lin'an.

……

Jiaofang Division.

A girl in a yellow skirt swayed and walked towards the brothel.

She was holding a large meat bun in her hand, and was eating it with great relish.

This steamed bun shop is delicious!

Chu Caiwei's eyes sparkled as she ate her steamed bun.

"Hey!"

As they reached the corner, a beautiful figure suddenly rushed past Chu Caiwei!

Chu Caiwei couldn't dodge in time, and the meat bun in her hand accidentally fell to the ground.

"Hold... I'm sorry."

The person who bumped into Chu Caiwei weakly apologized and then quickly left.

Chu Caiwei just stared blankly at the meat bun on the ground, tears almost falling down her cheeks.
