After being busy for a whole night, Qian Ruoyu finally left the courtyard and went to the palace to rest.

However, on the way to the palace, Qian Ruoyu saw some people from the capital who were originally in the south of the city suddenly appeared on the central street.

These people were all unkempt and looked miserable, and almost no one had a complete set of clothes.

Seeing their expressions, Qian Ruoyu had no doubt in her mind afterwards, that is, these people might have come to this place because of the plague.

The plague in the south of the city is serious and is constantly spreading to the entire capital.

If they don't escape, there is no way for them to leave this place directly. It is for this reason that they appear on the central street.

Thinking of them, Qian Ruoyu felt even more embarrassed because of this reason. After all, Qian Ruoyu had the opportunity to prevent the outbreak of the plague before.

However, Qian Ruoyu did not expect that the current plague was being created in that yard. If Qian Ruoyu had known it earlier, he would have stopped it long ago.

But now it is already a difficult thing to be like a bamboo. It is precisely because of this that Qian Ruoyu feels deeply regretful.

Qian Ruoyu then returned to the palace and rested for a whole night.

Early the next morning, Qian Ruoyu had already received the news that the news of Li Qiankun leaving the capital had spread within the Capital Chamber of Commerce.

After all, Qian Ruoyu had already arranged all of this, and Li Qiankun's departure seemed very unexpected. Although the people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce did not believe it, they obviously knew where Li Qiankun had gone.

It was precisely because of the dull appearance of the Capital Chamber of Commerce that Qian Ruoyu was certain that no one in the entire Capital Chamber of Commerce was innocent and pitiful.

Qian Ruoyu was even more determined to wipe out the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, but now he knew that he had no way of doing this unless he could only use other forces.

Qian Ruoyu learned that among the six ministries of the imperial court, some people actually had huge connections with the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, but Qian Ruoyu did not have any spies of his own in these six departments, let alone any reliable source of information.

Qian Ruoyu did not expect that she was just a woman, and yet she had intervened to this extent. However, all this was just Qian Ruoyu's passive intervention. Qian Ruoyu did not want to do such a thing at all.

Then Qian Ruoyu shook his head helplessly, and at this time Yan'er brought in a bowl of lotus and cinnamon soup and placed it directly in front of Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu was just abstaining from food as usual, but she was still thinking about things in her heart, which made Yan'er feel a little romantic, so she asked.

"My lady, what's wrong with you lately? Why do you look so worried? It seems like you have something on your mind!"

Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly. After all, no matter how much she told Yan'er about her affairs, Yan'er would not know.

Ever since she had the Golden Lotus, Qian Ruoyu had solved many of her problems together with the Golden Lotus, and naturally, Yan'er was not involved at all.

And Yan'er herself didn't ask too many questions, so it was naturally completely different, and she didn't understand even more.

Although Qian Ruoyu did not tell Yan'er, she completely treated Yan'er as her own in her heart. She did not decide to tell Yan'er about these things, nor did she want to make Yan'er worry about them.

After all, Yan'er managed her own yard very well. During the time when she was away, Yan'er did a great job and there was no chaos in the yard at all.

It is precisely for this reason that Qian Ruoyu feels that Yan'er is very suitable for the affairs within the palace, so Qian Ruoyu also feels it necessary to promote Yan'er to the position of housekeeper of the entire palace.

After all, Yan'er is just his personal maid now, and there is really no way she can touch upon many things.

It was precisely because of this that Qian Ruoyu directly called Butler Wang to her presence. Butler Wang looked extremely terrified.

He didn't know why Qian Ruoyu called him over, but he was obviously worried in his heart. After all, every time Qian Ruoyu called him, it was not for good reasons.

Qian Ruoyu said this very calmly.

"Butler Wang, can you handle the affairs of the palace by yourself?"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Butler Wang was stunned for a moment, and felt a little scared inside. After all, Qian Ruoyu's words were somewhat malicious, which made Butler Wang start to feel scared.

"This... Princess, what do you mean? I... I... I think I can barely accept everything the palace does. Princess, do you think I did something wrong?"

"If you think I have done something wrong, you can tell me at any time. I am willing to accept and correct it. Princess, if you have anything else to say, please feel free to say it..."

Seeing him so frightened, Qian Ruoyu smiled gently and said with a relaxed look.

"Don't worry, housekeeper. I just said it casually. By the way, this princess has decided to arrange something. That is to let my maid, Yan'er, become the housekeeper of the palace. If there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do, you can let Yan'er do it."

"Do you have any questions?"

When Qian Ruoyu said this, she was not seeking the opinion of Butler Wang, but was merely giving orders to Butler Wang.

Butler Wang was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that Qian Ruoyu would make such a decision with just a few gestures, and he had no way to refute it.

In the end, Butler Wang nodded and said to Qian Ruoyu helplessly.

"It's nothing, Princess, your decision is correct. If that's the case, I will take Yan'er to the vicinity of the palace and let Miss Yan'er understand the situation. What do you think?"

Qian Ruoyu did not expect that Butler Wang's attitude would change so quickly, a huge improvement compared to before, so Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.

Yan'er, who was beside Qian Ruoyu, had never thought that she would become a housekeeper-like figure one day, so she was dazed for a moment, but Housekeeper Wang stepped forward.

"Miss Yan'er, let's go around the palace together. See if there is anything you don't understand. I can answer your questions at any time!"
