A sly glint flashed in Chu Qingxuan's eyes as she smiled at Le Wuyou and asked, "Wuyou, do you have any silver on you?"
Le Wuyou touched his money pouch, frowned, and said, "Oh no, my money pouch has been stolen! I'll go find some silver right away!"
Chu Qingxuan waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
After Le Wuyou left, Chu Qingxuan took out the money pouch and whispered, "With you by my side, how am I supposed to find Ruan Qingchen? You're still too naive."
Chu Qingxuan called over the waiter and instructed him, "Waiter, give me paper and a pen."
Not far after Le Wuyou left the inn, she encountered Prime Minister Jun Zilin. She stopped Jun Zilin and said, "Prime Minister."
Jun Zilin was taken aback at first, then asked, "Lord Yue?"
"yes."
Yue Wuyou was a person close to the Empress, and Jun Zilin also politely bowed and greeted him, "Lord Yue."
"Your Excellency, could you lend me some silver? My purse has been stolen," Le Wuyou said somewhat awkwardly.
Jun Zilin smiled slightly, took out some silver and handed it to Le Wuyou, saying, "It's always better to be careful when you're out and about."
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"
When Le Wuyou returned, the private room was empty. She called over the waiter and asked anxiously, "Waiter, where is the young master who was here just now?"
The waiter was startled by Le Wuyou and explained tremblingly, "This young master asked for paper and pen, and then wrote a note saying that he would give this to you when you came."
Le Wuyou released the waiter, took the note with a cold face, and was both amused and exasperated after reading the words on it.
"Your Majesty... really is..."
Chu Qingxuan took the silver from Le Wuyou, paid the bill, and left, leaving the food for Le Wuyou.
But Le Wuyou, having lost Her Majesty the Empress, had no appetite whatsoever.
They returned to the palace to request reinforcements and find help.
After leaving the inn, Chu Qingxuan went straight to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Standing at the entrance of the residence, Chu Qingxuan was about to step forward when she was spotted by the guards.
"Where did this brat come from? Get lost!"
Chu Qingxuan was stunned, only to see the two guards staring at her.
She stared at the two men, her mind racing with ideas on how to blend in.
"I'm talking to you. Get away from here. Do you know where you are?"
Chu Qingxuan chuckled, thinking to herself: Do you know who you drove away?
Chu Qingxuan strolled away leisurely, slowly walking to the back gate of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and glanced up at the wall.
I thought to myself, "This wall is really high."
She slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile and climbed up the wall.
As an empress, Chu Qingxuan should be the first empress to climb the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.
Let's climb up quietly!
The back gate of the Imperial Preceptor's residence leads to a quiet and secluded forest.
Chu Qingxuan went inside and heard melodious zither music coming from deep within the government office. She followed the sound.
The sound grew louder and louder. Chu Qingxuan saw a white figure in the distance. He was sitting in a pavilion surrounded by lotus ponds, with a zither in front of him.
That's Ruan Qingchen.
After walking around the lotus pond, Chu Qingxuan arrived at the pavilion and listened to Ruan Qingchen playing the zither.
Staring at Ruan Qingchen's handsome profile, Chu Qingxuan smiled broadly.
Suddenly, the music stopped abruptly, and Ruan Qingchen said softly, "What do you want with me?"
Chu Qingxuan knew she had been exposed. She walked up to Ruan Qingchen, sat down, and asked with a smile, resting her chin on her hand, "How did the Imperial Advisor discover me?"
"When you came in."
"Why didn't you stop me?" Chu Qingxuan asked.
