"I know I was wrong, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

After Bai Shu left, Cheng Feng knelt down in front of Xiao Moqing to apologize.

He hadn't noticed that there was someone hiding in their private room, not to mention a weak woman who looked powerless. He had been careless...

"Get up. Bai Shu's problem is not your fault. Now go and do two things."

Xiao Moqing pondered the important information he heard from Bai Shu's inner voice.

First, the current emperor's son-in-law is infertile, and second, the Tianxiang Restaurant is about to be attacked and extinguished. It seems that the truth of Bai Shu's words will be verified soon...

"Tell Xueniang to be on the lookout for assassins from the Northern Desert in the near future, and to keep them alive if you encounter them.

Also, send someone to investigate the identities of all doctors who come to the Princess's residence for consultation."

"I'll do it right away."

Although Chengfeng didn't understand why Xiao Moqing would order him to do two such nonsensical things, he would not question his master.

"Go ahead, but remember not to alarm the princess."

The late emperor had few children, and his only daughter was reluctant to marry far away, so he had no choice but to find a son-in-law with decent character.

However, the heavens were not on their side, and they had been married for six years without any children. The eldest princess had always felt guilty about this, and tried every possible way to make amends to her husband, and even begged the emperor's uncle Xiao Moqing to give him a promotion.

Now Xiao Mo listened to Bai Shu's inner thoughts and felt that something else was going on...

"I understand."

As soon as Chengfeng went out, he ran into Xuenniang who was in a hurry at the corner of the stairs.

"Xue Niang, why are you so anxious? Have you forgotten the prince's warning about not panicking when things get tough?"

Chengfeng and Xueniang have been following Xiao Moqing for more than ten years.

"An assassin from Beimo sneaked into the restaurant, and there was a fire in the kitchen. Fortunately, the fire was not serious and has been brought under control."

Xueniang saw that Chengfeng relaxed a little, thinking that the prince should not be disturbed.

"You said there were assassins from the Northern Desert in the restaurant? Are there any survivors?"

Chengfeng admired his own prince as always, as even a small matter like the assassination was under his control.

"Two people committed suicide by taking poison, and another was stopped and is in the kitchen."

After Xue Niang arranged everything, she came to report. Fortunately, their people acted in time and saved a survivor.

…

"Take the assassin directly back to the dungeon of the palace and spare his life."

Xiao Moqing heard the conversation between Chengfeng and Xueniang in the room, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he pushed the door open and walked out.

It seems that what Bai Shu said was true. As for the identity of the Beimo assassin, he still needs to confirm it carefully.

"As you command."

Xueniang and Chengfeng could not guess what Xiao Moqing was thinking, so they just followed his orders and secretly lit a candle for the Beimo assassin.

The Regent's methods are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

…

"Miss, you are finally out. I was almost dying of anxiety!"

After Bai Shu settled the account of Tianxiang Restaurant, she felt refreshed. Finally, she didn't have to be taken advantage of anymore!

When she reached the door, she discovered that her original owner had arranged for the maid Youlan to guard outside.

"Have you been waiting at the door?"

Bai Shu was puzzled. She was originally a noble lady, but she actually went to the restaurant alone to pay for the man's bill, with her maids waiting outside. How could this sound so strange...

[Isn't this the original silly and cute maid? ]

A guilty voice suddenly sounded in Bai Shu's mind.

"You still remember to show up? Where did you run off to when you were in danger just now?!"

Her good mood was wiped out, and Bai Shu was almost furious at this incompetent system!

Not once or twice, but every time! Whenever there is danger, it is always the first to go offline!

[Don't be angry, Susu~ I felt like my pants were gone after being seen by the Regent. I was so scared that I disappeared.]

The system wanted to make every word roundabout, trying to get away with it by flattery.

[Where did you get those pants? You don't even have a physical form!]

Bai Shu was speechless. He just logged off, and his excuses were always the same. This time he actually said that the Regent saw through his pants. How was that possible?

The system exists only in your mind.

[I really feel that the Regent's eyes and aura are terrifying, as if he can hear our conversation.]

The system made another weak defense.

"If you hadn't said the same thing the last time we fought the thousand-year-old snake demon, I might have believed it!"

【……】

Bai Shu was helpless. The system accompanied her through countless peaceful days and nights. Yes, it disappeared automatically and inexplicably during the restless days and nights.

It was confirmed that he was a cowardly man who was afraid of death...

"My lady asked me to stay here, and I dare not delay for a moment."

Youlan is a daughter of the prime minister's family. She has been with Bai Shu since she was a child. She is pretty and loyal, but a little silly and obeys her original body's orders.

[Susu, hurry up and get in the carriage! The Regent is coming again!]

When the system saw Xiao Moqing coming out of the restaurant, it immediately sounded the alarm.

[Just be quiet. There's no point getting in the carriage. The Regent wants to follow us back to the Prime Minister's residence.]

Bai Shu's words were like a bolt from the blue, dealing a fatal blow to the system's heart...

[Susu, how did you get so close to that grim-faced devil? To the point where you're riding in the same carriage?]

The system was shocked. He had only disappeared for a short while, so why did it feel like it had missed a world?

But after it finished speaking, that chilly feeling came again. Sure enough, it found that Xiao Moqing was getting closer and closer.

[Who told you we had to share a carriage? I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister, so naturally I want to ride comfortably alone. I don't want to be squeezed in with him!]

Just kidding, Bai Shu finally has the chance to play badly and enjoy herself, how can she let it go?

“…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Moqing silently stopped and wanted to go forward to say hello, walked straight to his luxurious carriage drawn by two horses, and got in without any hesitation.

“???”

"Why is the Regent's carriage so big?"

Bai Shu's eyes widened. She was quite confused. Aren't the regents in the picture books all low-key, luxurious and profound?

How come the carriage Xiao Moqing was riding in was twice as big as hers?

"Miss, this is probably the smallest carriage in the palace, but we also have many carriages in the prime minister's residence. Choose a larger one next time you go out!"

Youlan noticed that Bai Shu was somewhat envious of Xiao Moqing's carriage. Although she didn't know why, she would definitely support her own young lady!

"Does our Prime Minister's Mansion have one of those super luxurious carriages pulled by four horses?"

It’s better to fight for your reputation than to make money!

Bai Shu has finally achieved such a noble status, she can't be outdone by a mere regent!

"Maybe? But if the young lady likes it, our lady will definitely agree to make one for her!"

Seeing Bai Shu's angry face, Youlan didn't dare to say that the Prime Minister also rode in an ordinary carriage to the court.

But she believed that apart from not quite supporting the young lady's pursuit of Du Wenqing, the lady would definitely indulge her unconditionally in everything else.

“…”

"Get in the car and go home."

Bai Shu finally understood that the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't have any luxurious carriages...
