Chapter 257 Arriving at Qinghua Lane

Mo Yunzhu instructed the servants and maids to pack up the things, and asked someone to send some daily necessities over, while she walked around in the yard.

There are houses on three sides of the small courtyard. The houses are all quite bright. There is also a pavilion stone platform in the middle with tea sets placed on it. There is also an unknown flower tree against the wall. The scenery is quite nice.

Mo Yunzhu returned to her room to rest, and she also took a look at the ear room and bathroom next to it.

Ask someone to bring hot water, she needs a good bath to relax.

An hour later, Yuan Qing brought someone in.

"Miss, his name is Shunzi. He is Master Zhuo's man and is very familiar with the imperial city." Yuan Qing said.

Mo Yunzhu nodded and saw that Shunzi was about fifteen or sixteen years old, a little short, but he looked smart.

"Miss, I'm Shunzi, just tell me what you want." Shunzi was surprised for a moment when he saw Mo Yunzhu, but soon his eyes became clear and a smile appeared on his face.

"Shunzi, thank you for your hard work. I want to know how far Qinghua Lane is from here?" Mo Yunzhu asked.

Shunzi immediately said, "Qinghua Lane is just behind Wanyao Pavilion. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to get there. However, there are residential houses there, and there are many small alleys. It is quite complicated. If you want to go there, young lady, I will lead the way for you."

Mo Yunzhu nodded and said, "Shunzi, the things I told you, except for Master Zhuo, no one else needs to know, do you understand what I mean? If others ask, you just take me around for fun."

Shunzi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss. Master Zhuo saved my life. I understand."

Mo Yunzhu was quite satisfied, and then asked Yuan Qing to take him outside to wait. Mo Yunzhu changed into the maroon suit he bought here and went out.

As soon as I reached the gate, I saw Uncle Zhou running towards me.

"Miss, are you going out? Dinner will be soon." Uncle Zhou looked anxious.

"Uncle Zhou, I just had enough rest. I'm going out for a walk and have dinner outside. I want to try some Chen Guo specialties and also go to the night market." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.

Uncle Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "My master has asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food. Do you want to have dinner before going out?"

Mo Yunzhu groaned, looked at her clothes, and then said, "Uncle Zhou, please ask Master Zhuo and Zhuo Shao to eat less. I'm not hungry yet, but I'm curious about the outside world. Let's go first."

After saying this, Mo Yunzhu quickened her pace, and Yuan Qing and Shunzi quickly followed with a smile.

Uncle Zhou knew that shouting was useless, so he just looked at Shunzi's back with a strange expression, and then went back to tell Zhuo Hongli.

"Miss, Master Zhuo is so nice to you. We are just staying at Wanyao Pavilion, why is he so warm and welcoming? It seems that he has been too enthusiastic towards you all the way. He is more familiar with you than Master Zhuo."

Yuan Qing couldn't hold back his curiosity. He was too curious. The hospitality shown by an old friend was a bit too much.

"Maybe it's because he needs me to treat his illness." Mo Yunzhu didn't want to pollute Yuan Qing's ears, "By the way, Shunzi, help me find a smart maid."

Shunzi nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll bring it tomorrow."

The three of them walked back, and after making sure that no one was following them, Shunzi began to wander around in the alleys.

There are many residential houses here, densely packed together, making Mo Yunzhu feel like it is a modern urban village. However, the tallest building is only two-story, and there are very few two-story houses.

The eyes were dazzled by the many doors that all looked the same. Fortunately, Mo Yunzhu finally saw the three words "Qinghua Lane" written on the wall at the entrance of an alley.

"Miss, this is Qinghua Lane. Which house are you looking for?" Shunzi asked.

Mo Yunzhu looked at the winding alley and said, "This alley is called Qinghua Alley. Are there any others?"

"No, this is Qinghua Lane, and the one next door is called Langgui Lane. The names of the lanes are very clear, otherwise if they are similar, you won't be able to find the right door when you get home."

Mo Yunzhu smiled and nodded, then said, "Yuanqing, you and Shunzi go to the teahouse outside and wait for me. I will go in by myself."

Shunzi was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He didn't say anything and happily went to drink tea with Yuanqing.

Seeing them leave, Mo Yunzhu walked into the alley. The alley here was only wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side, and the ground was paved with uneven stones.

Mo Yunzhu looked at the doors one by one, and finally found the door that Jun Huolan had drawn for her before. The doorknob on it was different from the other doors.

Other people's doorways are either iron or dark red, but this door is dark yellow. If you look closely, you can see five rice-sized holes that are lined up on the door handle and let light through.

In this way, it is basically difficult to find the same door knocker, and even if there is one, the probability of finding it in the same alley is low.

There were quite a few people walking back and forth in the alley, and they were obviously the residents. They were also quite curious about Mo Yunzhu, but fortunately no one came up to ask her.

Mo Yunzhu went forward and knocked on the door, three times in a row, long and short, and the door opened.

There was a man in his forties inside. When he saw Mo Yunzhu was stunned, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly opened the door and let Mo Yunzhu in. He looked outside for a few seconds before closing the door.

"I am Li Quan, here to see the princess." The man immediately knelt on one knee to pay his respects to Mo Yunzhu.

"Uncle Li, please stand up." Mo Yunzhu quickly helped him up and then said with a smile, "Uncle Li recognized me at first sight?"

Li Quan led Mo Yunzhu inside and said with a smile, "I have received the letter from the prince. I know that the princess is coming. Oh, Long San is here too."

Mo Yunzhu went inside, a very simple house. After entering the third courtyard, she first saw a woman. Li Quan immediately introduced her, "Princess, this is my wife, Xu, who helps with daily chores."

When Xu heard this, she knelt down immediately in fear. Mo Yunzhu quickly helped her up and said, "Aunt Xu, you don't have to be polite."

Aunt Xu had not expected the princess to be so beautiful and kind, and her nervousness was immediately relieved.

"You guys chat inside, I'll go make some tea." Aunt Xu said with a smile.

Li Quan brought Mo Yunzhu into the house and saw two more people coming out. Li Quan introduced them and said that these were Jun Huolan's own people trained in Chen State.

"Uncle Li, didn't Xiao Yi and the others come to see you?" Mo Yunzhu frowned. She had asked Xiao Yi and six others to go to Chen State first.

"They are here, but they don't live here. The six of them are very capable. They have infiltrated the royal family of Chen or the government to serve as guards. Oh, I have a letter left by Xiao Yi."

Uncle Li immediately went in and brought over a letter. After Mo Yunzhu opened it, she also felt mixed emotions.

Xiao Yi and the other six actually went undercover as royal relatives because they all knew that Jun Huolan had a grudge against the royal family of Chen State.

At first they didn't know what to do, but after discussing it, the six of them decided that being an undercover agent would be the best option, as they would all know the situation better. Of course, Jun Huolan's people also provided them with a lot of help.

"Princess, Long San is out and will be back later. Please have dinner here."

Mo Yunzhu shook her head and said, "I'll come back later. I'll just walk around outside first. There are people waiting outside. By the way, just call me Miss Mo from now on to avoid exposing my identity."
