NOVEL NEXT Chapter 160
"Good old friend?! Sister Zhemei, please don't make blind guesses. I believe Brother Mu is not such a person." Lou Laner exclaimed.
Zhemei didn't want to believe it either, but it was getting dark and the woman hadn't even come out of the house yet.
They were either left to sing and dance, or to stay all night.
"Sister Lan'er, don't you know martial arts? Why don't you go check it out?"
Lou Lan'er felt that this method was feasible, so she ran to the wall beside the palace, flew to the top of the wall, and looked into the courtyard.
The woman had already been arranged to rest in a room, and there were three or five people guarding the outside. They didn't look like servants or maids from the palace, but more like... bodyguards or martial arts warriors.
"What kind of medicine is Brother Mu selling in his gourd? Forget it, I'll just go in and ask."
Lou Lan'er came to the door of the palace and knocked on the door.
"Open the door, is Butler Wang here?"
Butler Wang opened the door and came out. When he saw it was Lou Lan'er, he asked, "Miss Lan'er, what's important today?"
"I came to ask Brother Mu if he wanted to go to Liuxiang Snacks for dinner. He said he would come to the shop to grind coffee today, but the whole day has passed and he has not been seen."
Butler Wang closed the door, pulled Lou Lan'er to the door, and whispered: "It's not convenient for the prince to go out these days. Please talk to Miss Ah Shu, and the prince will stop grinding coffee there."
"Did any important guests come to the house?" Lou Lan'er inquired.
Butler Wang raised his brows, as if he was worried about Lou Lan'er discovering something, and concealed it: "No, there are no important guests. Just go back to the shop first. When the prince is free in two days, he will go back to the shop."
Butler Wang hurriedly closed the door and entered the palace, looking nervous and completely different from usual.
"There must be something wrong, it's mysterious!"
Lou Lan'er returned to the teahouse and saw Zhe Mei still waiting at her original place.
When Zhemei saw Lou Lan'er coming back, she pulled her back to her seat: "Miss Lan'er, do you have any news?"
"I think there must be something wrong. Butler Wang didn't tell me the truth. No, I'll go back to Brother Luda to discuss it. If Brother Mu really hides some woman in the house, I won't recognize him as this big brother anymore. !Sister Zhemei, you should also go back early."
Lou Laner returned to Liuxiang Snacks angrily and quietly informed Lu Da of the news she had found out.
"Brother Luda, why don't we wait until the shop closes at night and we go to the palace to investigate at night?"
"Is this okay? What if, I mean what if Brother Mu really hides a woman and we ruin his good deeds..."
Seeing Lu Da refusing, Lou Laner said angrily: "You have forgotten where you are working now. You are now working for Liuxiang Xiaoshi. If Brother Mu really hides a woman in the palace, we Liuxiang Xiaoshi will do it from now on." He's no longer welcome, but he kept climbing over the wall to come to Mao Xi's house a while ago."
Lu Da said confusedly: "You said Brother Mu climbed over the wall to go to Mao Xi's house? Why did he go?"
Lou Lan'er recalled: "He climbed over the wall to give a hairpin to Ah Shu, and also had a heart-to-heart talk with her. I eavesdropped... Oh, anyway, will you come tonight? Do you want to break into the palace with me at night?"
Lu Da was so excited by Lou Lan'er that he finally agreed.
But he didn't believe it at all that Mu Zhiyuan was hiding in a golden house.
"I'm going. It's not okay for me to go, but don't get excited. I don't think Brother Mu is that kind of person!"
The night was dark and windy, and the birds were silent.
At midnight, Lou Lan'er and Lu Da were wearing night clothes and lurking on the roof of Prince Jia's Mansion.
Lu Da reluctantly said: "Lou Lan'er, why do we need to do this? We can just go down and ask Brother Mu. Why are we sneaking around on the roof?"
Lou Lan'er stared at the room in the east wing of the courtyard where the woman was resting.
"Ask Brother Mu directly. If he denies it, you can find out if you take the initiative."
The people in the room had already gone to bed, but Mu Zhiyuan was still in the room with the lights not out.
"Is that woman just staying here for one night?"
While the two of them were still wondering, Butler Wang discovered it.
He flew to the roof and quietly dragged the two of them outside the palace wall.
"There are important guests in the house, you two should not come again!"
Butler Wang made a silencing gesture and drove Lu Da and Lou Lan'er away from the palace.
"Lou Lan'er, let's go. I think the guards outside the girl's house are not like ordinary servants. Let's listen to Butler Wang first. At least we know that Brother Mu is in our house, right?"
Lou Lan'er was still puzzled: "That being said, why did he stay by that woman's side without even coming for a snack? If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!"
Butler Wang sent Lou Lan'er and Lu Da away and returned to Mu Zhiyuan's house to report: "Your Majesty, just now Miss Lan'er and Lu Da came to the palace to spy, but the old slave has sent them away."
"Did they alert the princess?"
"No, Her Royal Highness the Princess has gone to bed! The guards are guarding outside the house, please don't worry, Your Majesty."
Mu Zhiyuan looked at the paintings brought by Princess Le'an under the lamp.
This painting is a meticulous painting of mother and child, flowers and birds, painted by Mu Zhiyuan's biological mother, and has been hidden in the palace.
This time, Princess Le'an disguised herself and came to the public to look for him. She said she was here to inspect the situation of the restaurant she had invested in, but in fact she was using this to look for Mu Zhiyuan.
During her childhood, Princess Le'an grew up and played in the palace with the prince and Mu Zhiyuan.
Ever since Xiao Yun brought Liuxiang Snacks' fruits and coffee to Princess Le'an to taste last time, she wanted Mu Zhiyuan to bring the shopkeeper of Liuxiang Snacks to open a restaurant in Beidu.
But Fei Ge's letters came to Mu Zhiyuan's house one after another, but he rejected them all.
Therefore, Princess Le'an compromised and asked Mu Zhiyuan to visit her in Beidu when he was free, but Mu Zhiyuan did not go either.
In the end, she had no choice but to take a step back and open a restaurant in Lihua Town. This would give her more opportunities to come to Lihua Town and meet her long-missed elder brother and his lover.
In order to protect Princess Le'an's personal safety, very few people currently know her identity.
Although Lihua Town is a small place, Mu Zhiyuan will not feel at ease unless the Black Orchid Society is eradicated.
Moreover, some local forces, local gangsters, and refugees would sometimes flee here.
After knowing that Princess Le'an came to Lihua Town, Mu Zhiyuan did not dare to take it lightly for a moment.
If something happens to her here, Ewha Town may not be able to live a peaceful life in the future.
Mu Zhiyuan was both happy and worried to see the princess.
Alas, he just wants to retreat to a small place where he can bask in the sun and eat delicious food every day. Why is this so difficult?
