At this time, Qian Ruoyu was in his laboratory taking inventory of the things sent by the fat proprietress.

After all, there were two whole trucks of rouge and powder, all kinds of good things, almost countless.

If these things were sold to the palace, it might not be a problem to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

After all, the last batch of things had already sold for several thousand taels of silver, and the quantity this time was much more than last time.

The fat proprietress also said that the price this time would be probably more than five hundred taels of silver, so Qian Ruoyu prepared five hundred taels of silver after leaving the laboratory.

Yan'er just returned to the room, and Qian Ruoyu immediately spoke to her.

"Yan'er, here are five hundred taels of silver. Send a few servants to leave the palace with you. When you get to the alley, have them leave the silver there, and then have the fat lady boss come out to take it."

"You have to be careful. This matter is between us and the fat lady boss. You must find a few people you are close to. Don't find anyone you don't trust. If this matter is exposed, your life will be in danger."

After all, Yan'er is sometimes not very careful, so Qian Ruoyu can only scare Yan'er a little in this way.

Besides, if this matter is discovered, I would probably be implicated as well. I can only warn Yan'er to prevent her from making any mistakes.

As expected, after being frightened by Qian Ruoyu, Yan'er immediately nodded nervously.

"Yes... yes, my lady, I understand!"

Yan'er then ordered the maids at the door to come over, and took the four of them with the silver and left the palace.

Qian Ruoyu still believed the four maids, after all, they were all specially brought into the palace by Qian Ruoyu.

Apart from the four maids, the other dozens of people were also good, especially after entering the palace, they performed quite well and were loyal to Qian Ruoyu.

This allowed Qian Ruoyu to have much stronger control over the entire palace. He thought that although this was indeed that man's palace, Qian Ruoyu didn't mind helping him manage it well.

After Jin Lianhua had made all the arrangements, she immediately arrived at the door of Qian Ruoyu's room and was ready.

But when Jinlianhua came to the door, Qian Ruoyu was puzzled to find that Jinlianhua was holding a branch in her arms.

This made Qian Ruoyu look at her with confusion.

"Lotus, what's wrong with you?"

After seeing Qian Ruoyu discover her own number, Jin Lianhua said with a smile.

"Hehe, Princess, after all, we are in the palace, and we are also in the capital, so it is not convenient for me to carry a weapon at all times. I can only put the sword in my room. At the same time... I can't get anything suitable, so I can only use a branch."

When Qian Ruoyu heard this, he naturally became a little more confused. He never thought that Jin Lianhua would actually pick up a tree branch as a weapon.

So Qian Ruoyu asked.

"Is a branch really enough? If not, you can try to bring a sword. I think there shouldn't be any accidents..."

But Qian Ruoyu recalled that when she was walking on the streets of the capital, she hardly saw anyone wearing a sword. Would she be held accountable for wearing a sword?

And at this moment, Yan'er ran in hurriedly, and behind her was Butler Wang.

Has the truth been exposed?

Qian Ruoyu guessed in her heart, otherwise how could she let Butler Wang come with her? And Yan'er still looked anxious.

Just as Qian Ruoyu was guessing, Yan'er spoke hurriedly.

"My Lady Princess, something terrible has happened!"

Butler Wang also walked up to Qian Ruoyu and bowed his head and spoke respectfully.

"Princess, the prince is not in the palace now, but several officials from the Ministry of War have come to the palace..."

Are people from the Ministry of War coming?

Why did the people from the Ministry of War suddenly come over?

Hearing these words made Qian Ruoyu even more confused, but at least it was not his own secrets that were exposed, so Qian Ruoyu felt a little relieved.

Qian Ruoyu just said it calmly.

"What happened? Tell me slowly, don't be so flustered!"

Butler Wang then said.

"Princess, several officials from the Ministry of War came to look for the prince, saying that they have something to ask him, but our prince is not in the palace at all. What's more, those officials are already sitting in the main hall and don't seem to be planning to leave."

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu only heard four words from them, that is, here to cause trouble!

Thinking back to what happened between Qian Ruoyu and Chu Mobai in the Ministry of War, and now the people from the Ministry of War have come to the palace again, and they are not going to leave? What else are they here for if not to cause trouble?

At this time, Chu Mobai was obviously not in the palace. If they had something to look for, they would have to go to the military camp. Why did they suddenly run to the palace just to cause trouble?

It seems that under the pretext of coming to see the prince, he is actually here to cause trouble for the palace.

Although Chu Mobai was not in the palace, Qian Ruoyu was still the mistress of the palace and the most qualified person to take care of this matter, so Qian Ruoyu said directly.

"Is that so? If so, let them see how I treat guests. Go and prepare some tea. I will go meet them in person!"

After saying this, Qian Ruoyu walked forward, while Butler Wang was jogging hurriedly in front of her.

Jin Lianhua also followed Qian Ruoyu holding a branch.

After seeing Butler Wang leave, Yan'er came to Qian Ruoyu and spoke cautiously.

"My lady, the money has been sent. I just came back and saw those adults. They didn't see anything going on between me and the fat lady boss."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu nodded with relief.

Just after that, Qian Ruoyu came to the outside of the hall and saw five people inside, sitting at the table.

None of these five people were people Qian Ruoyu had known before, and Qian Ruoyu could also tell from their clothes that these people were not important figures in the Ministry of War.

One of them even cursed.

"This palace really doesn't take us from the Ministry of War seriously. We have been here for such a long time, and they still put us in this place. It seems that this matter needs to be reported to the court!"

The others also nodded.

And at this moment, Qian Ruoyu walked into the hall in a dignified manner.

"It turns out that several officials from the Ministry of War have come. I was wondering who they were, but I didn't expect so many officials to come. This really surprised me!"

When several people from the Ministry of War heard that Qian Ruoyu had come, they were stunned. They had never expected that it was Qian Ruoyu who had come, and it was obvious that Qian Ruoyu might have heard what they said.
