Things happened so fast that by the time Duke Turtle reacted, only Lan Zhi was left in the red wooden cage above his head.
Lan Zhi sat in the cage and stared at everything in front of her with her mouth agape.
She actually jumped just like that. Qing He was really fierce!
And everyone was talking about Qing He. Some men praised her for her character, and some praised her for her integrity.
The originally heated auction venue was first suppressed by Xia Ling's singing, then by Xia Ling jumping out of the cage to commit suicide, and now there was nothing left.
"Qing He... Miss Qing He!" Duke Gui rushed upstairs.
"Guest! Guest of the emperor's room No. 2, please open the door. We are still in the middle of the auction, you can't do anything to our Miss Qing He."
"Our Miss Qing he is still innocent. Although you saved her, you have to pay her people well. Thank you very much!"
Duke Gui kept saying behind the door.
However, this room of the emperor's room was reserved by rich and powerful young masters. Even if he was anxious, he did not dare to barge in.
The situation was put on hold. Behind the railings, there were people deliberately heckling him.
"Duke Turtle! Are we still going to fight over the Courtesan Belle competition today? Why is this lady Qing He being fought over in someone's room? Is there still a need to fight over her?"
The voice that was deliberately causing trouble immediately stirred up the people in the Red Chamber who were watching the fun. They let out evil laughter. A courtesan of the Red Chamber was wrapped in clothes by a man in public and carried into a room. What good ending could there be?
"Don't be anxious. Everyone, everyone, please wait a moment. There has been a small accident here. I swear that it will be resolved immediately. We will continue the bidding, alright?" Duke Turtle smiled obsequiously.
Over here, Qin Yunchuan's deep voice suddenly came from son of heaven's second room.
"FIVE THOUSAND TAELS OF GOLD!"
"What?" Duke Turtle was somewhat unable to react.
"Five thousand taels of gold, Bid for Miss Qing He!"
Qin Yunchuan repeated it once and Duke Turtle finally understood.
However, five thousand taels of gold... Five thousand taels of gold. Gold!
Duke Turtle's voice was trembling.
"Heavens, guests of the Second Heaven Room, five thousand taels of gold bid for Miss Qing He. Guests present, is there anyone wiling to pay higher?"
Five thousand taels of gold... Gold!
When Lord Tortoise's voice spread throughout the entire Red Chamber, not only Lord Tortoise, but even the man of room No. 1 started to doubt his ears.
Five thousand taels of gold for a Courtesan Belle! This so-called Qin Lang of room No. 2 was really Qing He's old lover. He was so generous. Was he really rich, or was he crazy?
Lan Zhi could not sit still.
She hurriedly stood up and asked, "Lord Tortoise, five thousand taels of gold, are you joking?"
With so much gold, it was likely that half of the Red Chamber would be bought. From one thousand five hundred taels of gold to five thousand taels of gold, this was more than three times the amount!
The competition for the Courtesan Belle of the Red Chamber was based on the price of the previous Courtesan Belle as the starting price and was auctioned upwards.
But this time, Qing He was better off. Where did an old lover come from? He raised the price to 5,000 taels of gold in one go!
With so much money, wouldn't it be good to redeem Qing He's life?
Why make things difficult for girls like them?
Putting everything else aside, with Qing He in the Red Chamber in the future, who would be able to compete with her for the position of Courtesan Belle?
"It's not a joke. 5,000 taels of gold, real gold, and silver are all here. Lord Tortoise can immediately count them and also have people go to the money house to exchange them."
The door of the Emperor's room No. 2 opened again.
