Chapter 287: Cutting Off the Fire from Under the Blade

But who is Yuan Siyin?

Just kidding, the title of "King of the Capital" is well-deserved.

How many spoiled brats were spared from infamy because of her? At this point, if they don't take advantage of their power to bully others, what else can they rely on? Their good looks?

After making up her mind, Yuan Siyin was no longer in a hurry. She first sent a message back to her residence, then went to an inn to take a quick bath before going to a clothing shop to retrieve the clothes she had previously deposited.

She held the golden whip, stood in front of the table, and scanned the dresses hanging on the wooden beam, not quite satisfied.

To be precise, I'm not very satisfied with the color.

What are the standard features of Yuan Siyin?

Red clothes, golden whip.

It's not that the red-clad figures aren't intimidating enough.

The shopkeeper felt uneasy under her gaze, thinking she was going to nitpick and cut the price in half. Only after belatedly realizing that this wasn't a ready-made garment in the store did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Shopkeeper."

"Yes, I'm here."

The shopkeeper's heart tightened, and large beads of sweat almost dripped down his face: "Whatever Your Highness commands, I will do my utmost."

"Let me see a few red clothes."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and immediately ordered all his employees to run around, bringing over every single piece of the old, brand-new clothes.

Yuan Siyin pressed her temples: "There's no need for so much."

"The princess's request must be met, and not only met, but exceeded!"

"If you want the stars, our shop will even pluck the moon down for you!"

The shopkeeper patted his chest and said, "Whatever style you like, we've got it all, anything you can wear. If it doesn't fit, we'll alter it immediately!"

Yuan Siyin: "..."

Your enthusiasm makes me seem cold.

Helpless, she randomly pointed to an item, paid the money, changed into it, and headed straight for the government office.

...

Zhong Heng hurried back to the agreed-upon gambling den, where he found Yu Shiyan waiting for him, drinking tea not far away.

"Master, we've investigated, and it's very likely that Granny Wang is also in that village."

He stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"In that village?"

Yu Shiyan gripped the glass tightly. "How do you know?"

"After we left, the people at the gambling den didn't make a move, they just closed the doors tightly, it seemed they were planning to destroy all traces before leaving."

"Be prepared not to turn back, that is, to dispose of the person along the way and then escape."

"That's my guess."

Also, Hongyu just sent a message saying that Bai Qiu's mission failed, and Chu Wan's confidant is dead.

"How did he die?"

"He was murdered outside the palace, and his body, along with the dilapidated temple, was burned to the ground. No belongings were found, and the authorities closed the case on the grounds that the thieves murdered him for money."

Zhong Heng lowered his voice.

Yu Shiyan lowered his head and slowly turned the ceramic cup.

That's a brilliant move to cut off the enemy's supply lines.

Despite having a relationship spanning over a decade, Chu Wan was capable of doing it.

"What else did they say?"

"You already know, have someone get rid of Wang Po."

However, they still hadn't been able to find out exactly where Wang Po was being held.

"It's already quite impressive that she was able to become Chu Wan's personal servant in such a short time. Just tell her to be careful and not give herself away."

"I understand. So what should we do now?"

Yu Shiyan stood up, glanced at the gambling den in the distance, and suddenly said, "Let's go to the restaurant."

"A restaurant?"

Zhong Heng was slightly surprised, but his master always planned things out carefully. Since he said he was going to a restaurant, there must be a reason.

Yu Shiyan walked across the table and left, and Zhong Heng put down the money for his tea and quickly followed.

"I'll go myself; you have other tasks."

"What mission?"

"..."
