Chapter 58 Public Works Department Open Day (Part 1)



"Young master, what a spirit you possess!"

"What a true hero!"

Xiao Yuanche was lost in the flattery.

When they arrived at the door of Rumeng's room, the old woman was standing there, her face beaming with a smile.

"Oh my, congratulations, young master, this silver..."

Haha, what a greedy, despicable person.

Xiao Yuanche cursed inwardly and gave his attendant a wink.

The attendant, looking utterly dejected, handed the old woman five hundred thousand taels of silver.

The old woman beamed and tucked the silver notes into her bosom. She then personally opened the door for him, saying, "Young master, please. This young lady, Ru Meng, is yours."

As Xiao Yuanche entered the house, the old woman greeted a young woman with a smile.

"Take good care of this young man, and if he has a good time, there's no charge."

"I..."

Before the attendant could refuse, a fragrant and soft body appeared in his arms.

Aaaaaah!

You've corrupted my conscience, you brothel madam.

Waaaaah—

The old woman looked around, her smile fading, and went into a room in the corner.

After knocking, he pushed the door open and entered.

He closed the door, respectfully took out the silver note, and said, "Sir, I have not failed in my mission."

Murong Anle shook the silver notes, his old face beaming with joy.

"Now, I can barely report back to His Majesty, but it's still not enough."

The old woman smiled and said, "Should I try a little harder?"

Murong Anle shook her head, "No need, lest we expose ourselves."

"Someone like Xiao Yuanche dares to dream of becoming a royal consort and staying in Qing Kingdom. Humph, let Ru Meng handle this matter well."

"Then give her 100,000 taels of silver, leave the capital, and start over."

The old woman composed herself and solemnly bowed to Murong Anle, saying, "This servant thanks you on behalf of Rumeng, sir."

"Being able to work for the adults and be freed from slavery is a blessing like a dream."

"Yes, tell Hu Hai to be on his guard these next few days. Once we have the man, have him withdraw and go to the northern border to continue the ambush." ​​Murong Anle's eyes turned serious.

"Yes, sir."

Li Xuanji is not only the Imperial Advisor, but also commands a clandestine force within the Qing Kingdom.

This team is small in number, but each member is exceptionally talented, and they are infiltrating various countries and regions.

It was created by the retired emperor Murong Gan.

When the retired emperor left the capital, he entrusted this team to Li Xuanji, whom he trusted most.

Even His Majesty was unaware of the existence of this team.

How did Murong Anle find out?

Because he helped take in many of these people.

well...

I miss my childhood.

Murong Yue studied by lamplight in the palace, and after learning a few words, she fell into a deep sleep while holding the large pearl.

The next day, Murong Yue's breakfast was as lavish as ever.

She now has both her favorite sweet and savory tofu pudding.

There are also boiled tofu balls and fried crispy pork.

I never get tired of eating it.

Ah Hao said these are all made from soybeans.

She thought to herself that she must have been a soybean in her past life.

whee.

He hurriedly went to court, quickly ended the battle, returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to change into casual clothes, and took Ah Hao out.

Li Xuanji's hair was so eye-catching that many people in Qi Yuan's capital city recognized her.

Therefore, since Li Xuanji didn't go, Qi Yuan could only follow at a distance.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Works, the pedestrians around Murong Yue had all been replaced by members of the Imperial Guards.

As a zombie, she was extremely sensitive to changes in aura, and Murong Yue keenly sensed that the people around her were different.

Looking around, he saw the familiar admiration and respect in their eyes, and then he realized that they were one of his own.

It's so lively here!

Murong Yue cautiously observed the crowd. She had disguised herself very well, and no human discovered that she was a zombie.

Wealthy young ladies, wives of officials, and merchants from other places rode in horse-drawn carriages.

People who wouldn't normally cross paths happened to meet on the Ministry of Industry's open day.

Some of the emperor's close advisors recognized Murong Yue. Seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes, they did not approach her but simply bowed slightly.

Some officials, even those who attend grand court assemblies, never have the chance to see His Majesty's face clearly, so they would be even less likely to recognize him here.

Murong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

It all smells like human flesh.

Hehe, hahaha.

However, ever since she ate the delicious food made by humans, she hasn't thought about anything for many days.

Even the purpose of going to school changed from looking at those tender brains to learning human writing.

Her attention was quickly drawn to the bustling activity at the Ministry of Works.

Xiao Yuanshuang wrapped herself up tightly, took her medicine, and dragged her seriously ill body to the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Works had a very large site; it was said to be the largest of the six ministries.

In Xiao Yuanshuang's view, reserving such a large area for the Ministry of Works in the capital, a place where every inch of land is precious, was an incredibly foolish thing to do.

She was already petite, and if it weren't for Cherry and the guards protecting her, she probably would have been pushed out long ago.

She gets angry just thinking about it.

She sent someone to tell Murong Anle that she wanted to come to the Ministry of Works' open day and that the area needed to be cleared out.

Unexpectedly, Murong Anle directly told her not to go.

If she weren't still well-mannered, she would have started swearing.

Why are there so many people!

"Where is the Second Prince?" She was still angry and turned to ask about Cherry Xiao Yuanche's whereabouts.

"Your Highness, I rested at the Jiaofangsi yesterday. The other servants are unaware of this."

Cherry's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side.

She seemed to see that person again.
