Upon hearing that it was a summons from the Queen Mother and that it was related to the Shadow Order, Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan immediately packed up and rushed to the palace.
Inside the bedroom, the empress dowager smiled faintly when she saw Lu Yanluo coming in.
"I haven't seen Yanluo for a few days. I really miss you. Come in soon!"
Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo both bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandmother."
The palace maid serving behind them was smart and immediately brought chairs for the two of them.
"I have hurriedly summoned you two here today. I believe you already know why."
The Queen Mother looked at the nanny who had served her for more than thirty years.
The nanny understood what she meant and turned around, took out a black iron token and handed it to the empress dowager.
"This is the Shadow Order, which controls all kinds of intelligence in the world. It can be said to be the secret weapon of the royal family. Previously, I and the emperor said that whoever finds out the enemy's spy will be given the Shadow Order. Now I am keeping my promise."
The Queen Mother walked up to Chu Xuan and said sternly, "Ye Wang, I will hand over the Shadow Order to you today. I hope you will not let me and the Emperor down."
Chu Xuan stood up and knelt respectfully to receive the Shadow Order.
"Don't worry, Grandmother, I will definitely do my best and work hard until my death!"
[This is the legendary Shadow Order, what material is it made of? Why does it look so black? ]
[Chu Xuan, ah Chu Xuan, I am your great benefactor, you have to thank me a lot! ]
Chu Xuan couldn't hold it anymore and quickly stood up and sat down.
"But I am a little curious, how did the Night King find Lin Qisheng so quickly?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was willing to hear more details, Chu Xuan smiled gently, looked at Lu Yanluo and said, "This matter is all thanks to A'Luo. It was A'Luo who was smart and helped me find the key clues."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised when she heard this. She looked at Lu Yanluo with a smile on her face, "I really did love you for a living. Our Yanluo is such a good wife. The Queen Mother will reward you well!"
"Thank you, Grandmother. This is what Yanluo should do."
[This Chu Xuan is a pretty good guy. He didn't take away my credit. He still has some conscience. ]
Chu Xuan was secretly delighted and glanced at Lu Yanluo silently.
This woman is so worldly!
…
Xiwan Pavilion.
Lu Yuruo, wearing night clothes, entered the house under the protection of Yan Xiwan's personal maid.
After taking the cloak, Lu Yuluo's face was not very good, "What do you want from me?"
It was obvious that he was still angry about the unpleasantness between the two of them last time.
"Don't be upset for now, Miss. I was indeed too impulsive last time. I apologize to you here. After thinking about it, I realized that everything you said made sense. You and I are indeed in the same boat. If you have any instructions, I will do my best."
"But I have one condition. As long as the Second Miss agrees, I can help you."
Lu Yuluo looked suspicious, "What conditions?"
"I want Lu Yanluo's life." Yan Xiwan's eyes were cold and full of malice.
The two of them agreed on this condition. Lu Yuluo chuckled softly, "Okay, deal."
The plan succeeded, Yan Xiwan's expression relaxed, and she said calmly: "Okay, then let's talk about the second young lady. What do you need me to do for you?"
Lu Yuluo opened her mouth slowly and stated her purpose.
"Prince Ning once instructed Lin Qisheng to eliminate the spy Ye Sheng and his men who had escaped from the neighboring country, but he never expected that something went wrong in the process and a fish escaped. I need you to help me catch this person immediately, and I will keep my promise and help you deal with Lu Yanluo. I will never let Miss Yan down."
Yan Xiwan lowered her eyes indifferently when she heard this, "Okay, it's a deal."
…
While Yan Xiwan was conspiring with Lu Yuruo, Chu Xuan was walking out of the palace gate with Lu Yanruo on the other side, and they met someone head-on.
"Liang Ping? Why are you here?"
The person who came was Chu Xuan’s good friend Liang Ping.
"Your Majesty." Liang Ping's eyebrows were calm, and he bowed lightly, as gentle as jade, "Hello, Princess."
"I am waiting here for you two because I have something to give to the princess."
Lu Yanluo looked at Liang Ping with a puzzled look.
[Are you all sending gifts together today? Including me? 】
Chu Xuan glanced at Lu Yanluo casually, with a smile in his eyes: "What are you in such a hurry for? Why don't you come with us to my house and talk about it."
Liang Ping shook his head calmly and refused, "It's not something important."
As he spoke, he took out three pages of paper from his chest and handed them to Lu Yanluo.
"Here are the deeds of three shops. Liang gave them to the princess. If the princess wants to do business in the future, she can use these three shops."
Lu Yanluo took the deed casually, feeling that the situation was somewhat awkward, so she lowered her head and casually looked through it.
"Wait! Miss!" Xiao Ran held up the deed in her hand in surprise, "Isn't this shop the Madam's dowry shop? How did it end up in Master Liang's hands?"
Lu Yanluo's face turned cold when she heard this, and then she understood the key.
Liang Ping smiled mysteriously: "I found it when I bought the shop today, so I deliberately gave it to the princess. After all, it is the princess's thing and cannot be treated badly."
[After my mother died, all the dowry was swallowed up by Lin, including the shop.]
[Now it seems that this business cannot be continued, so I have to sell it for money! In this case...]
"Xiao Ran, come back to the Xiangfu with me tomorrow. I want to take back all my mother's dowry!"
