Song Yushu shrugged and continued to arrange Lu Zhixing's office.
As the most refined prince of Dayan Dynasty, how could his office be so simple? It is obvious that he does not intend to stay there permanently, and he would not like others to see it.
When the people from the Ministry of Rites brought in the official documents, he was stunned to see that the originally bare room was now decorated with new clothes. Even the moment he lifted the curtain and came in, he was dazzled by the dazzling light.
"Your Highness, this is an official document just delivered by the Ministry of Rites. Please take a look." This official was also wearing a dark blue court robe, but the patterns on it were different. He should be of a much lower rank than the old man before.
Song Yushu glanced at Lu Zhixing's expression, walked forward and brought the document over.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Song Yushu showed a dimple, looking very soft and tender.
He didn't look as arrogant and domineering as Lord Chen described. The young official was confused for a while and then took his leave.
Liu Bai coughed lightly and glanced at Song Yushu, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Song Yushu immediately understood, "I'll take my leave."
After Song Yushu closed the door and left, Liu Bai took out a small piece of paper from his arms, which also had rows of small holes poked on it with a needle.
After Lu Zhixing groped over them one by one, he frowned slightly.
"Your Highness?" After seeing Lu Zhixing's expression, Liu Bai felt that something must have changed.
"The people from the three divisions of the Eagle Division accidentally exposed their whereabouts while acting, and were captured by the prince's men. They are now on their way to Kyoto." Lu Zhixing held his forehead and sighed.
Despite repeated warnings to the generals not to act rashly, they still couldn't hold back and clashed with the prince's men, and were caught red-handed.
Liu Bai also felt a bit of a headache. Before he could successfully recover, he was captured by someone, and it was captured by the prince's followers. "Then my subordinates will immediately deploy defenses and intercept them halfway!"
"We must not act rashly on this matter. The prince's party is so ostentatious in public just to lure the snake out of its hole. If you intercept it halfway, won't you fall into a trap?" Lu Zhixing was very impatient with these conspiracies and tricks. He thought back to how happy he was to gallop on the battlefield!
"Then, what should we do?" Liu Bai was at a loss for a moment. It was easy for him to go into battle and kill the enemy, but it was impossible for him to do so in the face of such conspiracy and intrigue.
"Let that little liar in." Lu Zhixing also knew that these things were not Liu Bai's forte, so he had to let Song Yushu in.
Only then did Liu Bai realize that Song Yushu was the one with the most clever ideas. "Yes, Your Highness!"
But when he went out to look for Song Yu's book, he couldn't find it.
Song Yushu didn't know that Lu Zhixing was looking for her. She was just waiting quietly outside the yard, but was pulled away by an official.
"Sir, sir, our family is not..." Song Yushu was afraid that Lu Zhixing would summon him at any time, so he wanted to break free from the official's hand, but he didn't expect that he was too strong and Song Yushu couldn't break free.
After thinking for a long time, Song Yushu was about to use acupuncture to prick the official when he stopped and said, "Master Chen, I have brought some help."
Master Chen, who was so busy in the room that his beard was about to stand on end, immediately raised his head happily, "As expected of a talented person from the Ministry of Rites, you found it so quickly—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Song Yushu grinning at him.
How could such a eunuch die? !
Lord Chen felt his bristling beard smoking. He glanced at Song Yushu with disdain. "How can a eunuch like you pretend to be an official from the Ministry of Rites? And you even followed me here?"
"Your Excellency, what you said is inappropriate. It is true that I am a eunuch, but I am also the Chief Clerk of Prince Jing's Palace approved by Your Majesty. You are also an official. What do you think?" Song Yushu was not afraid at all. He first bowed respectfully, and then every word he said was a rebuttal.
The official who had brought Song Yushu here only saw clearly who he had brought here. He narrowed his eyes and quickly apologized to Master Chen, "Master Chen, it was your subordinate..."
"Alright, now that you're here." Lord Chen couldn't bear to offend his own people, so he simply waved his hand and summoned Song Yushu over. "You're the Chief Clerk of Prince Jing's Mansion, and you're not one of those military officers under Prince Jing. I'm sure you can write, right?"
The tone of voice implied that the military officers in Prince Jing's mansion were all illiterate. Song Yushu naturally couldn't swallow this humiliation. She smirked and said, "The military officers under our prince's command are still much more knowledgeable than servants, but I can still help you with a small favor."
Lord Chen and Song Yushu's eyes were full of sparks.
"I wonder where King Jing dug you out from? It's really strange that you are so eloquent." Lord Chen sneered twice.
King Jing spent most of his early years fighting on the battlefield, and his subordinates were all military officers who were not good at speaking. No wonder there were rumors that this little eunuch was extremely favored.
Song Yushu bowed respectfully. "I was born and raised in the palace, and have always been by the prince's side. Lord Chen, is there anything I can help you with? If not, I'm afraid the prince will be angry if he can't find me."
"Here is a list of officials and criminals from the prison outside Kyoto. Once you sort it out for me, you can return to serve King Jing." Lord Chen snorted coldly and ordered someone to place an arm-high list into Song Yushu's arms. "Even if you came here tonight, you still have to sort these out. I'm being generous by having you, a eunuch, help me."
Song Yushu was almost knocked to the ground by the roster and finally managed to steady himself.
"Puchi——" The young official who put the roster into Song Yushu's arms couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
Song Yushu glanced at Lord Chen, who was talking about etiquette and regulations, and then glanced at the young official who was still smirking. She threw the lists directly into the arms of the young official.
The sudden impact caused the young official to retreat repeatedly. Fortunately, there was a table behind him, which allowed him to stop.
"What are you doing?!"
The young official finally managed to stand firm and shouted at Song Yushu angrily.
Lord Chen also spoke at the same time, with a look of worry on his face.
Song Yushu covered his mouth and smiled. Then he said to Master Chen with a sudden realization, "Just now this master laughed at me. I thought I could laugh at anyone, so I wanted to try it too. Judging from the reactions of Master Chen and this master, I think it's not allowed..."
Lord Chen and the minor official choked at the same time. Song Yushu's counterattack was not very clever, but it had been a long time since anyone dared to argue with the people from the Ministry of Rites in this way, so they were unable to react for a while.
"Please help me put it on the table, sir." Song Yushu bowed respectfully and said with a smile on his face.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. The young official helped Song Yushu put the list on the table while being confused.
Song Yushu sat down at the table and started flipping through the list. His speed surprised the officials around him.
In less than half an hour, Song Yushu placed the last list on the left and right sides, wrote the last line with his right hand, and put down the pen.
"You're done already?!" Lord Chen flew into a rage, slamming the table and standing up. "Are you kidding me?!"
