Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Why is one missing from Chapter 116?

Seeing the two of them looking like they'd just eaten shit, Zheng Luoqi said calmly, "You know, Zisang left, and the newcomers haven't arrived yet. I've been feeling lonely, so I came out to relieve my boredom!"

"If you want to experience it, I can call a few people for you, but the cost... you'll have to pay for it yourselves!" Zheng Luoqi kindly suggested.

Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan almost couldn't hold back their laughter after hearing this, but they still explained, "We don't like homosexual relationships!"

"If you don't like men, what are you doing following me in? Don't hide it, there's nothing shameful about liking someone!" Zheng Luoqi said, looking at them with a half-smile.

Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan were at a loss for words. They all knew perfectly well why they had followed Zheng Luoqi in, but they just wouldn't expose each other and had to continue acting. Lin Zifeng explained, "Sir, you've misunderstood. We were just worried that you might encounter danger here, so we followed you."

"Oh, I see. You've had a lot of trouble!" Zheng Luoqi said, raising an eyebrow.

Just then, a commotion arose outside. It turned out that the courtesan had arrived and was choosing her lovers.

Zheng Luoqi looked outside, her expression changing: The main event of the day is about to begin...

A few days earlier, Zheng Luoqi received news that Prince Gong had rebelled and his family had been ransacked, with no one likely to have survived. However, Boyu found out from the news that Prince Gong's youngest son had escaped and left before Prince Gong forced the emperor to abdicate. The youngest son, whose entire family was executed, was probably a scapegoat.

And this real youngest son is very likely to be in Xuzhou now...

This male courtesan who appeared out of nowhere is very likely the youngest son.

Zheng Luoqi came here suddenly today to confirm whether this courtesan was his youngest son. If so, he wanted to eliminate her completely, as he didn't want to give her the chance to come back for revenge.

Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan both assumed that Zheng Luoqi had taken a liking to the courtesan because she kept staring outside.

Zheng Luoqi suddenly had someone summon the madam.

As soon as the madam saw Zheng Luoqi, she put on a smiling face and said, "Oh! Your Excellency, what brings you here?"

"When did that courtesan from outside come to your brothel? I've never heard of her before," Zheng Luoqi asked the madam.

"This was brought here by someone else to sell!" the madam said.

"Someone else brought it here to sell? Who? Who sold it?" Zheng Luoqi asked the madam in confusion.

"Those people were a bunch of thugs. When this courtesan was first bought, she had quite a few injuries. It was only after I, the madam, fed her good food and drink and took good care of her for a long time that she grew into the beautiful woman she is now!"

"If it weren't for his good looks and the potential to make a lot of money, I wouldn't have taken him! He's got a really stubborn temper!" the madam said indignantly.

"How can one become a favorite of the courtesan?" Zheng Luoqi asked casually, not really paying attention to the madam's ramblings.

"My lord... this... it's not that I don't want you to see me, it's just that Nanfeng Pavilion has its own rules, and I don't want to break them... so... my lord, what do you think..." The madam said, looking at Zheng Luoqi with difficulty.

Zheng Luoqi gave Boyu a look, and Boyu immediately understood. He took out a large silver note, and the madam took it and saw the amount. She immediately beamed and said happily, "My lord, please wait, I will arrange it right away!"

Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan, who were watching from the side, were speechless. Sure enough, she had taken a liking to the courtesan.

Before long, the madam had made the arrangements. She walked to Zheng Luoqi's side and said softly, "My lord, Young Master Xifeng is already waiting for you. Please come with me."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Luoqi immediately stood up, straightened her clothes, and then turned to follow the madam outside. Wen Yixuan and Lin Zifeng, seeing Zheng Luoqi walking away, also wanted to follow.

Zheng Luoqi turned to look at the two of them and asked suspiciously, "Why did you follow us?"

Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Protect the adults' safety!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Luoqi couldn't help but laugh, then looked at them and teased, "I'm going to have a romantic time with Young Master Xifeng, are you all going to watch from the sidelines too?"

Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan's expressions froze instantly, revealing awkwardness.

Zheng Luoqi turned and left, leaving Lin Zifeng and Wen Yixuan standing there dumbfounded...

Zheng Luoqi followed the madam to the door of Xifeng Gongzi. As soon as Zheng Luoqi entered, she saw the interior decorations. Light gauze was hung everywhere, and the figure of Xifeng Gongzi appeared faintly behind the gauze.

The madam wisely closed the door, leaving Zheng Luoqi and Xifeng Gongzi alone.

As the figure of Young Master Xifeng drew closer, he suddenly burst out from behind Zheng Luoqi through the light veil, and Zheng Luoqi immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

Young Master Xifeng still held a sharp dagger in his hand, a fierce glint in his eyes, and stabbed fiercely at Zheng Luoqi.

Zheng Luoqi noticed the movement behind her, quickly turned around, and dodged the attack. Zheng Luoqi turned her head, grabbed the wrist of Xi Feng Gongzi's hand holding the dagger with one hand, and twisted it hard. Xi Feng Gongzi's wrist hurt, and the dagger slipped from his hand, which Zheng Luoqi snatched away.

Zheng Luoqi pressed his advantage, swiftly retaliating by thrusting a dagger at Xifeng Gongzi, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Xifeng Gongzi reacted quickly, nimbly dodging to the side, and the two began fighting in the room.

"Zheng Gou, it really is you!" Young Master Xifeng said fiercely, cursing as he parried Zheng Luoqi's attacks.

"That's right! It's me, Xue Jiayou. You should avoid me for the rest of your life, or you might still have a way out. Now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll send you on your way to see your father!" Zheng Luoqi said threateningly as she launched her attack.

Xue Jiayou is the youngest son of Prince Gong. He came to Xuzhou to find Zheng Luoqi in order to avenge Prince Gong. Knowing that Zheng Luoqi was a womanizer, he chose Nanfeng Pavilion. When Zheng Luoqi came to him, sure enough, she did not disappoint him and came.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Xue Jiayou wanted to escape and find another opportunity to assassinate Zheng Luoqi.

How could Zheng Luoqi give him a chance? If you don't nip it in the bud, it will grow back in the spring.

Zheng Luoqi didn't want to waste any more time and just wanted to finish the job quickly.

"Boyu!"

Upon hearing Zheng Luoqi's order, Boyu immediately rushed over and joined the battle. Xue Jiayou was quickly captured, and Zheng Luoqi swiftly slit his throat with a sword.

Zheng Luoqi could roughly guess why Xue Jiayou wanted to come back to seek revenge. After all, back in the Imperial Academy, this kid had always been unconvinced by Zheng Luoqi, and he had always felt that the Prime Minister's Mansion had played a significant role in the death of Prince Gong.

However, Zheng Luoqi never cared about their thoughts; they were the ones who always treated Zheng Luoqi as a hypothetical enemy.

Prince Gong kept this youngest son with the intention of having an heir, and he let him run away early on, but unexpectedly, the son actually delivered himself to his door.

He was probably blinded by hatred; he didn't want to live alone even after his entire family was wiped out, and wanted to fight to the death.
