"Sir, it's not even dawn yet, why are you up so early?"

Mingyu opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Hongli, who was changing clothes in front of her.

"With Uncle Thirteen gone these past few days, things have become even more complicated. I need to get there early so as not to delay anything!"

After Hongli finished speaking, he had already put on his clothes and was ready to go out!

“Uncle Thirteen is gone, but you don’t need to set off so early. If it’s a few days later, your body definitely won’t be able to handle it.”

Mingyu looked worried. At this hour, the roosters hadn't even crowed yet. Let alone a person, getting up so early would definitely be too much for their body!

"Father must have his reasons for asking me to do this. It's still early, so you should rest first!"

After saying this, Hongli put on his hat and left, leaving Mingyu on the bed with a worried look on her face!

When Hongli arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, it was empty. When he went inside, he saw a pile of somewhat messy scrolls on the table, which he would have to tidy up by himself.

However, Hongli showed no dissatisfaction. He lit the candles and began to look intently at the scrolls!

When the other officials from the Ministry of Revenue entered the room, the moment they opened the door, they saw Hongli reading books inside.

Especially when they saw the candles on the lampstand on the corner of the table, they didn't know how many candles had been burned to leave these marks!

However, when they saw that Hongli was completely focused, they, who had originally wanted to go straight in, became more cautious and tiptoed, not wanting to disturb Hongli who was reviewing the documents!

The news that Hongli had come to the Ministry of Revenue so early quickly spread among the subordinates, since there were officials on duty when Hongli arrived.

The two guards on duty were almost asleep when they saw Hongli come over that night. They were both startled, thinking he was coming in to look for something, but he ended up staying there until dawn.

Of course, this news quickly reached Mingyu's ears. After hearing the news, Mingyu became uneasy. This was only the first day. What should she do in the future?

Upon hearing the news, Mingyu prepared to go find Hongli, but was stopped by the maid beside her.

"Madam, what are you going to do? Since the master has already done this, what use will it be even if you go?"

"I can't just stand by and watch him suffer like this. If it continues like this every day, I'm afraid it won't be long before he ends up like the Thirteenth Prince!"

Mingyu plopped down in a chair, tears streaming down her face, her expression full of heartache!

"The Prince has his own plans!"

She believes this is only the first day, so she definitely needs to be more proactive and not act like she did before!

"I hope so!"

Mingyu stared in the direction of the Ministry of Revenue, muttering to herself. She naturally hoped that Hongli would be as the maid had said!

"Don't worry, my lady. It's already late afternoon, almost late afternoon. The master will be back soon. You can talk to him about it after he gets back!"

The maidservant next to her went out for a moment, looked at the sun, and came back with a happy expression, saying:

"It's already so fast! Hurry up and prepare the meal!"

Upon hearing that it was almost 5 PM, Mingyu hurriedly ordered her servants to prepare the meal.

Hongli has been busy all day, he must be very tired when he gets back!
