Chapter 56
In order to make the variety of goods in her newly opened store not so singular, He Zhiran also randomly selected some calligraphy, paintings and jewelry, and hung them in the store.
Similarly, after hanging up these selected items, they instantly disappeared.
He Zhiran was not worried. After all, this Taobao treasure was completely different from what she knew in her previous life. It could automatically estimate prices and upload pictures. It was understandable to put away the goods in advance.
After being busy for about two hours, He Zhiran successfully uploaded 20 items.
The most valuable was a painting by a certain famous person. The system valued it between 100-130 million.
The cheapest was a silver hairpin, priced at 150,000.
For Taobao Treasure, He Zhiran's goods were relatively expensive. She didn't expect the sales volume to be very large either.
As long as it could bring her some money that could be used as a buffer, it would be fine. Anyway, there was plenty of gold, silver and jewels in her space.
As long as she could get along well with those officials, she would have a chance to replenish supplies at any time.
After the goods in the store were put on the shelves, it was also a big deal for He Zhiran.
Since she came here, this was the first time she had stayed in the space for such a long time.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already eleven thirty at night.
Thinking that Mo Jiuye would not be back for a while, He Zhiran simply went to the bathroom.
She tentatively turned on the faucet, and water spurted out directly, and it was hot.
After leaving the capital, she had been displaced all the way, and her body was covered in dust.
He Zhiran decided to wash herself clean before going out again.
She quickly took off the clothes with patches and threw them into the fully automatic washing machine for washing. She took a nice hot shower.
The long-lost feeling made her feel inexplicably comfortable. As the white bubbles silently drained from the floor drain, it seemed to take away all the unpleasantness of her day.
He Zhiran was afraid that Mo Jiuye's estimated time would change, so she didn't dare to delay here for too long.
After a quick wash, she wrapped herself in a towel from her previous life and walked out of the bathroom.
She found a hair dryer and dried her hair.
At this time, the washing machine also gave a prompt that the work was finished.
He Zhiran took out the still slightly damp clothes and dried them as much as possible with the hair dryer.
Then she quickly put them on and left the space.
At this time, it was already past midnight, and Mo Jiuye had not yet returned.
He Zhiran thought that she still had to travel tomorrow to rest up, so she lay on the bed to rest.
However, when there are concerns in the heart, it is really difficult to fall asleep. Helplessly, He Zhiran could only close her eyes to nourish her spirit.
As time slowly passed, looking at the clock in the space, it was already more than two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Mo Jiuye still hadn't come back.
He Zhiran was a little uneasy.
She was afraid that Mo Jiuye would have an accident during this special period, then all her efforts would be in vain.
However, at this time, waiting was the only thing she could do.
Looking at the window paper opposite, there were already faint signs of whitening.
There were still occasional chicken calls outside.
This predicted that daylight was not far off.
He Zhiran became more and more uneasy, and there were several times when she wanted to go out and look for him.
However, considering Mo Jiuye's great skills, he should not be in danger, so she held back.
Just when she was extremely anxious, the door was finally pushed open.
The tall figure that had worried her all night appeared in He Zhiran's sight.
Mo Jiuye's expression was very serious. He Zhiran guessed that he must have heard some useful information.
"Did everything go well?"
Mo Jiuye nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Very smooth. I thought the assassins wouldn't come, and I was about to leave when the target finally appeared.
There were two people who came to kill Li Hu. After they killed Li Hu, I followed them all the way to a courtyard and saw with my own eyes the eunuch who Li Hu had contacted."
He Zhiran widened her eyes and asked, "Do you recognize that person?"
Mo Jiuye's eyes became even deeper, and at the same time, He Zhiran could also see that he was somewhat disappointed.
"I'm all too familiar with that person. It's the eunuch Li Lu who has been waiting on the Third Prince since he was a child."
Hearing Mo Jiuye mention the Third Prince, He Zhiran looked very surprised.
In the history books she knew, the Third Prince Nan Qi was the next emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty.
It was also him who exonerated Mo Jiuye of his crimes and built Yiguang Tomb so that future generations would always cherish his memory.
If the records in the history books were not wrong, Nan Qi should have treated Mo Jiuye well. Why did he do this?
He Zhiran racked her brains but could not figure it out.
And from Li Hu's actions, he could indeed frame himself with the incident of framing Zhou Laoba to give himself the charge of escaping, which could be understood as him taking revenge for Li Rou'er.
However, once his charge of escaping was established, Mo Jia people would also be punished more severely, and the officials might even report it to the court to increase the punishment of the Mo family.
This meant that Li Hu did not have good intentions towards anyone in the Mo family.
If there was no instigation from above, He Zhiran absolutely did not believe Li Hu would do this.
"Did you and the Third Prince have a falling out before?"
When asked about his relationship with the Third Prince, Mo Jiuye explained in a deep voice.
"We were born on the same day and were selected by the Emperor since childhood to be his study companions. Before the age of sixteen, except for sleeping, we were almost inseparable.
Our relationship can be said to be unbreakable. Even Shunwu Emperor believed that I would become the biggest help for the Third Prince in his fight for the throne in the future."
Upon hearing this, He Zhiran became even more confused.
"You were on such good terms, why would he still send someone to trip you up?"
"After following those two to the courtyard, I eavesdropped on their conversation.
According to Li Lu, it was because I knew too much about Nan Qi's affairs that he was afraid I would leak it out, so he planted spies in the ranks of officials.
Unexpectedly, Li Hu ruined their original intention because of a Li Rou'er, and turned from monitoring to backstabbing."
For what Mo Jiuye said, He Zhiran did not completely believe it.
Since it was an unbreakable relationship, Nan Qi should have trusted Mo Jiuye. There was no need to monitor him at all. Giving some assistance would have been more reasonable.
However, considering the records in the history books, He Zhiran did not intend to make any judgement about Nan Qi, she just wanted to let Mo Jiuye know her true thoughts.
"Before the Duke of Protection's mansion was searched, it was impossible for Nan Qi to not hear anything. Did he send anyone to give you a heads up?"
Mo Jiuye resolutely shook his head: "No, he didn't."
"Not giving you advance notice, it could be that he had some difficulties that were hard to tell. Based on your unbreakable relationship, when your family met such great danger, he should have helped you deal with these officials.
As a result, not only did he not do so, he even planted spies to monitor you among the officials.
Can you think of what Nan Qi's purpose was in doing so?"
