Chapter 1161 The Emperor Moves Into the City Lord's Mansion

Mo Xiang explained to Shangguan Ruoli truthfully: "Someone sent a message to the prince, saying that you were waiting for the prince at the waterside pavilion in the back garden. The prince came out of the banquet hall, but encountered an assassin, so he sent an secret agent to find you. Who knew

I accidentally hit that kind of poison and gave this Miss Sun..."

Shangguan Ruoli understood that Dongming Ziyu wanted to control Sun Ruoxue and seize the opportunity to spread false information, or use her to bring out the hidden stakes of Nanyun Lengyue in the mansion or Yuancheng, and then pull them out.

So, he said: "In that case, let's put Miss Sun in a separate courtyard first, and wait until An Er comes back."

An Er is currently responsible for liaison with the Black Flag Army and is not in Yuancheng.

Rejoice said: "Then I will arrange Miss Zhang's accommodation."

He gave the maid next to him a wink.

The maid understood, stepped forward to help Sun Ruoxue, and took her out.

After they all went out, Mo Xiangcai said: "Princess Qi, her martial arts has been accidentally disabled by the servant, but she can still do martial arts moves, which is better than ordinary maids. The prince also arranged for someone to keep an eye on her.

When An Er comes back, I will make him a woman. Since I have already used it, I will continue to pretend to be real."

Uh! Accidentally?

This is too careless.

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Mo Wen took out another letter from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said: "Princess, this is the letter from the prince."

Sassoon stepped forward to take it and handed it to Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli took it, without looking at it, and said to Mo: "Go down and have something to eat and take a rest."

Mo Xiang refused and said: "Thank you, Princess. Your Majesty will attack the city in the next two days, so I have to rush back immediately."

Shangguan Ruoli hurriedly said to Xueying: "Go and pack some food for Eunuch Mo Xiang, so that he can take it with him on the way."

Xueying knelt down and said, "Yes!"

Zi Yan and Xue Ying had just arrived to serve Shangguan Ruoli, and their every move was very reserved and cautious.

Sassoon looked at the bloodshot eyes in Shangguan Ruoli's eyes and said distressedly: "Princess, please go back and sleep for a while."

Shangguan Ruo was so sick that he was out of sleep. He didn't even take a shower or read Dongming Ziyu's letter. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I slept until noon the next day, and still felt dizzy when I woke up.

When Sassoon heard the commotion, he came in with Zi Yan and Xue Ying to wait on them.

Shangguan Ruoli took a bath and felt refreshed.

Sassoon took a dry cloth and wrung Shangguan Ruoli's hair and reported: "Princess, the great doctor Bai has brought the emperor's master and servant back to the palace."

Shangguan Ruoli was slightly surprised and immediately guessed: "An assassin has entered Tongji Hospital?"

Sending the imperial edict is equivalent to showing everyone that the emperor is in Xuancheng.

Sassoon said: "Yes! Butler Zuo didn't dare to disturb your rest. He placed the emperor in the east part of the castle and sealed the door leading to us to avoid suspicion."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "You have arranged it very well. The emperor's whereabouts have been exposed. Compared to the hospital, the palace is safer."

Sassoon said worriedly: "Princess, Butler Zuo asked the slave to remind the princess that the emperor is with us. His Highness may frame the prince for kidnapping the emperor and send more troops to invade. In this way, they will become even more famous."

Shangguan Ruoli's expression was stern. She was exhausted earlier and had not had time to think about this. His Highness the Tenth Highness would not let go of the Emperor and Dongming Ziyu. This was a good opportunity to catch them all.

"Butler Zuo is right, we need to take countermeasures and call Zhui Feng and Bai Qingyan over."

Sassoon gave Zi Yan a wink, and Zi Yan ran out to find someone.

In order to save time, Shangguan Ruoli sat directly on the soft couch and ate while Sassoon was still twirling his hair.

After finishing eating, he said: "Butler Zuo was also the prince's staff. Being a housekeeper is too unqualified. After the New Year, I will let the prince assign a prefecture and county to him to take charge of, so he can train first."

Sassoon made a move and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess! Now is the time when the prince is employing people. He will be very happy if he can help the prince."

In fact, when Butler Zuo asked her to bring this message, he also meant that he wanted to go out and show his ambitions.

The staff members who worked together in the past began to take over the newly conquered Nanyun town one by one, and they were able to show their talents in this troubled world, which he was envious of in his heart.

After all, he will be a formal official in the future. With good political performance, his future will be unlimited.

His income as a housekeeper in the city lord's palace is not lower than the salary of a first-class official in the imperial court, but as a housekeeper, he is also a respectable servant at his best. How can he compare with becoming an official?

Shangguan Ruoli stretched out his hand to pull Sassoon up and said, "Why are you kneeling down? Steward Zuo has the talent to govern the country, otherwise the prince would not have accepted him as a disciple. Letting him be the steward is just a temporary measure."

At the beginning, Dongming Ziyu also felt that Butler Zuo was from a poor background and lacked experience in dealing with high-ranking officials, so he asked him to be a butler to get some training.

The housekeeper handles the human relations in various houses on behalf of the master. Housekeeper Zuo has been able to handle it with ease in recent years.

Sassoon said truthfully: "Actually, I also want my husband to become an official in the court. I don't care about honoring my ancestors or anything like that. I just think that my child's future will be different."

Shangguan Ruoli liked her straight-forward character, not beating around the bush, and said with a smile: "I really grew up after having a son! However, in the past two months, Butler Zuo has to find a suitable person to take over. Things in this house cannot be done.

No one cares."

Sassoon's face turned red and he said: "If possible, it is better to let my brother-in-law take over. He is in charge of the Wuyou Ferry industry, the salt field, and the dry goods factory, and he is doing a good job."

She was really uneasy, fearing that Shangguan Ruoli would say that they were partial.

Shangguan Ruoli doesn't mind the favoritism of people below her, but it must be within the scope of her acceptance.

Housekeeper Zuo's younger brother is Zhang Shanxing's man, and his children also work with Jing Xi and Jing Yang as companions. The whole family is under their noses, they are easy to control, and they are most loyal.

So, he said: "Then let Butler Zuo arrange for him to come over to study. While there are many things to do during the New Year, he will be trained and tested. If he is competent, let him take over."

Sassoon smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry, my brother-in-law is much smarter than my nerdy husband, and he will definitely do better than him."

Shangguan Ruoli couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the past incident of "Madam, this is a big event in Dunlon, I'm rude."

Sassoon obviously also remembered that episode, and his face turned red as a monkey's butt.

At this time, Zi Yan came back and reported: "Princess, Zhui Feng and Master Bai are waiting in the small hall."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Please help me dress and make up. The jewelry should be simple and regular clothes will be fine."

Sassoon, Zi Yan and Xue Ying quickly helped Shangguan Ruoli change his clothes and comb his hair.

Shangguan Ruoli wore a moon-white long dress with narrow sleeves. The auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread were looming and shiny, and the edges were outlined with black gold thread. It looked simple and noble.

Moreover, Shangguan Ruoli's tall and well-proportioned figure wears such clothes, coupled with his heroic temperament, he is full of aura.

Zhui Feng and Bai Qingyan both had a flash of surprise in their eyes. They both put down their teacups and stood up to salute.

Shangguan Ruoli stopped the two of them from saluting and asked them to sit down and talk.

Bai Qingyan sat down and reported first: "Princess, Qianyue has sent news about Nanyun Lengyue."
