Qiu Wuji's question made Luo Jing fall silent.
He frowned as he looked at the lobby scene in the water mirror, and then at the white-haired young man sitting in the corner, and fell into distress.
He was sure that he did not know the person in front of him and had never seen him before.
But for some reason, when he looked at the other person's face, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere.
A cultivator who has reached the divine realm can even clearly remember the taste of the breast milk he drank in his childhood, not to mention the people he has met before.
Luo Jing searched all the memories in his brain, but still couldn't remember any information related to this person.
Obviously, he had never seen the other person.
Luo Jing thought about it again and again, shook his head and said: "I don't know this person, but I feel vaguely that he looks familiar..."
Luo Jing couldn't see the expression on Sect Leader Yao Yue's face behind the curtain.
But her voice was still soft and pleasant.
"Since he doesn't know me, maybe he recognized the wrong person... or maybe he is a villain that you accidentally offended."
"No matter what, you must be careful."
Qiu Wuji pointed at Luo Jing with concern, then said with a smile: "Sir, do you know why there is such a grand ceremony for the wedding of the courtesan tonight?"
Qiu Wuji's question seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Luo Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the capital city, so please teach me."
The so-called oiran, although born in a brothel, has already escaped the category of "prostitute".
If we have to make an analogy, if applied to Luo Jing's previous life, he can be roughly equivalent to those traffic stars who were packaged by capital and launched.
Major brothels and the people behind them package and hype up beautiful girls to gain fame and popularity, and then reap money from the fame and popularity.
When the harvest is almost done, they will be arranged to be sent out and sold at a good price.
And Liu Sisi is the top among the top.
Even Luo Jing, a person from outside the Western Regions, had heard of the name of Liu Sisi in the capital after just staying in Haiyan City for a while.
Even in the capital city where there are many courtesans, Liu Sisi is a legendary figure.
Although Luo Jing didn't know how magical this courtesan was.
After all, he was not interested in gossip and seldom inquired into it.
From behind the curtain, the sound of Qiu Wuji's faint laughter could be heard.
The woman said, "The beauty in the world needs people to praise her for her fame."
"The higher the status of the person who is praising her, the greater the reputation of the beauty."
"If the person who is holding the beauty is a famous figure in history, then this beauty can even leave a strong mark in the history books."
"Our Miss Sisi is indeed beautiful, but what really made her famous was the praise of the current emperor and the favor of the current prime minister Cui Huan."
Qiu Wuji chuckled softly, his tone gentle.
"Our young Prime Minister Cui Huan is favored by Her Majesty the Queen and is also extremely talented and unparalleled in the world."
"His preference for Miss Sisi is the key to Miss Sisi's fame."
"The many dignitaries who came to Haitian Tower tonight said they were here to bid, but in fact they were here to show their support for Prime Minister Cui."
"Because everyone knows that Prime Minister Cui is determined to win Miss Sisi. Tonight's wedding is just a formality."
Qiu Wuji chuckled and said, "This talented couple, who are admired by the world, will use a luxurious dinner party that is famous throughout the capital to footnote their love story."
"It can be said that Prime Minister Cui is indeed thoughtful..."
There seemed to be a hint of ridicule in Qiu Wuji's chuckle.
Luo Jingze frowned slightly, sensing something unusual.
Prime Minister Choi...
This young prime minister who took charge of government affairs had replaced the old prime minister Jiang Guang for ten years. However, his reputation among the people was quite bad.
People call him "the treacherous prime minister".
He became the top scholar at the age of eighteen, and was chosen by the Empress to be promoted to an official position at the age of twenty. He was second only to the Emperor and it was said that he pleased the Empress with his handsome face.
Moreover, this man was ruthless and able to call the shots in officialdom at a young age, and he had killed countless people who opposed him.
It is not only the Queen's favorite, but also a sharp knife in the Queen's hand.
Lu Zhao cleansed up the royal bloodline, and Prime Minister Cui was the key figure.
But now he showed up so openly at this critical moment, wanting to take the courtesan Liu Sisi into his mansion... This was a signal.
A very clear signal.
That is, Queen Lu Zhao has woken up, and her injuries are no longer serious. She may recover soon.
Otherwise, it is impossible for Prime Minister Cui, who has been hiding behind his back for several months, to be so high-profile...
Luo Jing looked at Qiu Wuji behind the curtain and frowned, "What's the point of Cui Huan doing this?"
The Queen has woken up, so is there any need for him to send out a signal in a high-profile manner
Could it be that the opposition in the court is so strong that even the Queen cannot suppress it easily, so some kind of game is going on
Qiu Wuji explained softly from behind the curtain.
"Don't worry, young master. You are the safest in the prison. No one can break through and harm you."
As he spoke, Qiu Wuji smiled and said, "Well, it's getting late, you should go back, young master."
"The capital is in chaos right now. If you are fine, you should return to the prison as soon as possible. It is better not to go out like tonight in the future..."
"As for the old monster in the prison, please tell him that I will spare him this time. But next time we meet, I hope he can come by himself."
Qiu Wuji's meaning of thanking the guests is very clear.
Luo Jing didn't want to stay any longer, so he immediately stood up and left.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master. I will relay your words to you."
After saying that, Luo Jing walked straight out.
This trip to Haitian Tower was simple and easy, beyond Luo Jing's expectations.
Originally, he was terrified, fearing that he would be taken away by the Lord of Yumengtian.
But after meeting him, I found that this Lord of Yumengtian was not as scary as the legend said.
At least in front of Luo Jing, she did not show her terrifying side, but was very polite and let Luo Jing pass easily.
But Qiu Wuji's words seemed to be full of deep meaning.
She asked Luo Jing not to leave the prison
Could it be that she knew about Luo Jing's plan to escape from the prison
If the capital city is really going to be in chaos, perhaps Luo Jing really doesn't need to leave the Heavenly Prison in a hurry.
After all, if Lu Zhao's opposition force is really that strong, then even if Lu Zhao wakes up, he probably won't have time to cause trouble for Luo Jing for the time being.
But what Luo Jing was curious about was, is there anyone in the Central Plains court who can resist Lu Zhao’s tyranny
Facing the dim-witted Lu Zhao in his old age, even the Zhenbei Palace had to keep its tail between its legs. Which other force in the court could be so strong...
Luo Jing was confused and pondered the possibilities.
