Lord Bai Ce nodded. He jumped up from the ground, placed the food box on the table, and said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
The lid of the food box was opened, and inside was a bunch of garlic sprouts and a piece of broken porcelain.
Su Man laughed, and her heart was also relieved. It seemed that it was indeed Miao Ruicai, but this code word was too simple and crude.
Before she could say anything, Bai Cejun suddenly started to untie his belt. He was young and looked immature, so such a movement was really inappropriate. Su Man repeatedly stopped him, "Calm down! You're still a child!"
Bai Cejun tilted his head with a mixed expression on his face, and Su Man could even vaguely make out a sentence.
You've eaten the food, and now you're telling me it's not cooked?
Fortunately, although Bai Cejun was reckless, he was not so bold. After he untied his belt, he picked up the scissors used to cut wicks and cut the edge of the belt. There was a note hidden inside.
Not sure if it was out of revenge, but he cleared his throat and shouted outside, "Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. You've broken my belt."

Outside the door, several palace maids blushed when they heard this and hurriedly walked away.
Bai Cejun's visit not only brought intelligence to Su Man, but also a reputation as a wolf and a tiger.
After Bai Cijun left, Su Man opened Miao Ruicai's note. What was written on it was exactly as she had guessed. The Minister of Revenue was preparing to take action against her in order to distance himself from the Tongzhou prefect, Ren Daren.
However, Miao Ruicai was no pushover. She quickly passed the news to Lord Ren. Now that Lord Ren had arrived in the capital, it was likely that something interesting would happen next.
The flames engulfed the note, and when it was almost burned, Suman threw it into the incense burner.
This Lord Ren is not stupid. If she stays in Tongzhou obediently, the Minister of Revenue may assassinate her in order to get herself out of trouble. It is better for her to take the initiative and fight for herself.
However, this move of hers was also a risky one. Leaving Tongzhou without an imperial order was a serious crime. By doing this, it was clear that she had completely torn her relationship with the Minister of Revenue.
