Chapter 118: Encounter at the Palace



Qian Ruoyu's reminder has two meanings.

The first is that Zhou Zhubo, who is in charge of the treasury, did not notice it for such a long time, which is obviously dereliction of duty.

The second reason is that Zhou Zhubo has never made any mistake in the treasury for such a long time, which is a record-breaking thing.

Zhou Zhubo immediately shook his head.

"This... It's better for Your Majesty not to know about this kind of thing... But what should I do? Please give me some advice, Your Majesty!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled gently.

Zhou Zhubo was indeed afraid that the reputation he had maintained for so many years would be in jeopardy, so Qian Ruoyu said with some difficulty.

"This... I don't have any good solution, but if you are willing, we can secretly move the three boxes back and forth. You send these two people away and let them take a rest, and the three of us will move the boxes again. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhubo nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, my lady, this is a good idea!"

Zhou Zhubo then hurriedly called the two servants, while Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er moved the two boxes at the door into the bushes beside the door to avoid being discovered by the two of them.

After waiting for the two servants to leave, Qian Ruoyu, Zhou Zhubo and Yan'er replaced the three boxes again.

It was not until after the boxes were changed that Yan'er suddenly realized and understood her mother's plan of replacing the prince with a cat!

After changing the boxes, Zhou Zhubo let out a long sigh, obviously feeling much more relieved.

"Oh, thanks to my queen, such a big thing happened, and the two original dowries were found. Otherwise, I, an old man, would not be able to keep my reputation!"

Not only did Zhou Zhubo help Qian Ruoyu replace these inferior rouge and powder, he even wanted to thank Qian Ruoyu!

For Qian Ruoyu, this was a great plan that killed two birds with one stone.

After all, all the high-quality rouge and powder have been exchanged, and almost all the things in the treasury are low-quality rouge and powder. Even if they expire in the future, it doesn't matter.

Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu's lips gradually curled up into a smile.

This is simply getting something for nothing, and all the benefits were taken at once.

But at this moment, Yan'er beside him suddenly reminded him.

"My queen, I saw the prince. He is coming this way..."

When he suddenly heard these words, even Qian Ruoyu himself was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction Yan'er pointed with some disbelief.

As expected, Chu Mobai brought Si Yin and Si Ze over here. Although there was a garden between them, it was obvious that Chu Mobai also saw Qian Ruoyu here!

Qian Ruoyu was startled when she saw this scene and shrank her head back.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

When Qian Ruoyu was panicking, Zhou Zhubo on the other side also started to panic.

He was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he looked at Qian Ruoyu anxiously, wanting to ask Qian Ruoyu how to solve the matter.

"This... Madam, the prince is here, what should we do?"

Now he was right at the door of the palace treasury, and Chu Mobai not only saw him, but he also obviously saw Yan'er, but from his angle he did not see Zhou Zhubo.

As the princess, it was normal for me to come to the door of the treasury, and it was also normal for Yan'er to follow me.

So what needs to be done is to make it reasonable for you to come here and make things smoother, so that Chu Mobai may not be suspicious.

Qian Ruoyu sorted out his thoughts a little, then immediately pretended to be calm and spoke to the two people in front of him.

"Ahem, don't worry, you two!"

"I have a solution now. Put these two boxes aside immediately, preferably in the bushes nearby. Yan'er, you can do this!"

Hearing this, Yan'er naturally nodded quickly.

Although Chu Mobai had already made eye contact with Qian Ruoyu, there was still some distance between the two of them, and Chu Mobai's pace was not very fast, which was enough for Yan'er to hide the two boxes.

Qian Ruoyu then spoke to Zhou Zhubo in front of him.

"Master Zhou, you don't have to worry so much. Didn't you just ask them to leave? You should leave now. I will help you look after the treasury here for a while. If you have something to do, please leave first."

"Also, just close the door and let me stand at the door."

Zhou Zhubo was already extremely anxious when he heard this, so when he heard this, he immediately nodded, turned around and closed the door, and hurriedly walked in another direction.

Just as Zhou Zhubo disappeared from Qian Ruoyu's sight, Chu Mobai had already arrived at the gate of the yard.

Yan'er also hurriedly stood beside Qian Ruoyu. Although she didn't know what Qian Ruoyu's plan was, she believed in Qian Ruoyu very much in her heart.

"My lady..." she whispered.

Qian Ruoyu said calmly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Everything is in my plan. Don't be so panicked. If you are exposed, I will beat you when I get back!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Yan'er finally calmed down.

Qian Ruoyu also watched Chu Mobai walking towards this side with Si Yin and Si Ze.

Chu Mobai came in front of Qian Ruoyu, lowered his head slightly and looked Qian Ruoyu up and down.

Then he also saw Yan'er beside Qian Ruoyu and the closed treasury of the palace.

Chu Mobai didn't say much when he saw Qian Ruoyu.

Yan'er quickly lowered her head and said.

"This servant has seen the prince."

Si Yin and Si Ze, who were standing behind Chu Mobai, also lowered their heads and spoke respectfully to Qian Ruoyu.

"Meet the princess!"

"Meet the princess!"

The two said in unison.

And it was obviously not Chu Mobai who ordered them to shout like this, but they shouted it out spontaneously.

Chu Mobai did not stop them from calling Qian Ruoyu that.

Qian Ruoyu smiled slightly and said to the two of them.

"No need to be polite."

Qian Ruoyu then looked at Chu Mobai, without showing any fear on her face.

"Why are you here? Did you come here to find me because you knew I was here?"

After hearing this, Chu Mobai still looked around with an expressionless face, only to see the locked door.

He asked calmly.

"Where is Zhou Zhubo?"

Qian Ruoyu had long been accustomed to Chu Mobai's indifference to her.

Therefore Qian Ruoyu did not answer, only Yan'er beside her spoke.

"Your Highness, Chief Clerk Zhou left not long ago, only half an incense stick of time."

"Your servant and the Majesty arrived here just before half an incense stick of time to prepare some silver for buying vegetables tomorrow."
