Escape after crossing

Jiang Ziluo nodded slightly to show his understanding. After all, these matters involved confidential information between the two countries, and it was normal for Leng Chenming, a general stationed abroad, to know little.

Leng Chenming suddenly seemed to remember something and changed the subject: "Oh, there is one more thing. I heard a rumor before that King Cheng came to Lengli Country to look for an extremely precious medicinal material. However, this is just a rumor and there is no solid evidence to support it."

Jiang Ziluo's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she asked, "So, when King Cheng came to Lengli Kingdom this time, did he do anything special? For example, who did he meet? Or where did he go?" She hoped to get more information about King Cheng from Leng Chenming.

Leng Chenming frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. After all, I haven't been to Kyoto for two or three years, so I don't know when he arrived in Kyoto or whether he met the king in advance."

After Jiang Ziluo rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, he told Leng Chenming everything about his first meeting with Cheng Wang, and described in detail the situation in which Cheng Wang failed in his fight with Xuan San.

After listening to this, Leng Chenming showed a confused look on his face, and asked puzzledly: "Why does King Cheng want to pay attention to you? Is it because of the instructions of the Second Prince? But the Second Prince's men don't know your existence, what's going on?"

The two men were unable to figure out the conspiracy and intrigue of King Cheng and the Second Prince for a while, and finally decided to hold back and closely watch the development of the situation.

Although things are becoming more and more complicated and incomprehensible, life must go on. Jiang Ziluo decides to share her idea of ​​launching mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival with Leng Chenming.

Leng Chenming carefully read the recipe that Jiang Ziluo had carefully prepared and expressed his support without hesitation. He knew that Jiang Ziluo was passionate about this project and he was willing to cooperate with him.

“If you want these mooncakes to sell well and command high prices, exquisite packaging is essential. In addition, if you can give them some special meaning, it will make the product more attractive,” Jiang Ziluo explained.

"Oh, packaging? What kind of packaging will it be? Can the selling price be increased just by packaging?" Leng Chenming asked a series of questions in rapid succession.

When talking about packaging, Jiang Ziluo suddenly had an idea. She thought of the exquisite mooncake gift boxes in modern society. The packaging alone can make the price of mooncakes soar several times or even dozens of times!

So she decided to try to apply this marketing strategy to ancient times. However, due to time constraints, she was not fully prepared and could only briefly introduce her idea to Leng Chenming.

After listening to this, Leng Chenming's eyes flashed with appreciation and recognition. He agreed, "This is a very good idea. If the mooncakes can be given exquisite packaging and given some auspicious meanings, then its value will definitely be significantly improved."

Jiang Ziluo agreed with a smile, and then added: "Yes! Not only that, we can also design different levels of packaging according to the needs of different people. For wealthy families, they can choose to use high-end materials such as silk and brocade as packaging, and then match them with gold or silver decorations to show their nobility and luxury; while for ordinary people, paper or wooden packaging boxes can be used, and the design style can be simple and generous. In this way, we can meet the needs of various consumers and make moon cakes more attractive."

Leng Chenming nodded slightly to show his agreement: "That's great. I will inform the shopkeepers of each Huajianfu store about this and ask them to start preparations as soon as possible."

"Okay, if there is nothing else important, I will leave first." Jiang Ziluo wanted to find Ju Ziming.

Since she came here, she has never been able to see her master. Now that she has finally gotten rid of those annoying guys, she can go find her master. Besides, she still has some things that she needs to ask her master to help her with.

"Leave? Where are you going? I really can't feel at ease if you go out alone."

"I will naturally act cautiously and will not go anywhere else. I just have something to ask my master." Jiang Ziluo knew very well what Leng Chenming was worried about.

"That's easy. I'll have Dr. Ju come directly to the palace. This way, you don't have to go out and take risks yourself."

"Leng Chenming, I'm not a three-year-old child. I'm not capable of protecting myself." Jiang Ziluo looked annoyed, and after he finished speaking, he walked out of the study.

Leng Chenming was stunned when he saw Jiang Ziluo walking out angrily. He put down the things in his hands and hurriedly chased after him. However, he didn't know why Jiang Ziluo was so angry.

When he walked out of the room, the servant guarding the door pointed in the direction of the wall and told him: "Prince, over there!"

Leng Chenming turned around and saw Jiang Ziluo running up and nimbly climbing up the wall. She was obviously familiar with this kind of wall-climbing action.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ziluo was wearing a complicated dress today, and the long skirt became an obstacle, making it difficult for her to climb up the wall. As a result, she accidentally fell off the wall.

Fortunately, the height was not high and no one was injured. But Leng Chenming was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He immediately rushed over and tried to support Jiang Ziluo. However, due to the distance, he did not have time to get there.

After Jiang Ziluo fell to the ground, she did not feel any pain, but rather felt a little embarrassed. She looked at her dirty skirt and felt annoyed: "I should have worn men's clothes earlier!"

Leng Chenming hurried forward, helped Jiang Ziluo up, and asked with concern: "Are you hurt?" He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Ziluo shook his head.

Leng Chenming said helplessly: "I will send someone to see whether Doctor Ju is in Baicaotang or Prince Xuan's Mansion, and then send you there." After saying that, he turned around and ordered the guards around him to find out where Doctor Ju was.

Jiang Ziluo was helped up by Leng Chenming. She frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied with his behavior. However, as they walked towards the study together, her mood gradually calmed down. Although she was still a little angry, she also understood that Leng Chenming's starting point was not malicious.

After entering the study, the atmosphere became a little subtle and awkward. Jiang Ziluo sat quietly in front of the tea table, but his thoughts drifted away involuntarily.

Leng Chenming sat at the desk, observing her reactions from time to time, trying to find the right opportunity to break the silence.

As time passed, a depressing atmosphere filled the room. Finally, it was Jiang Ziluo who spoke first.

"Leng Chenming, I always felt that we get along very well, but you just crossed the line. Maybe you don't think there is anything wrong with what you said just now, but for me, I don't like it." Jiang Ziluo looked at Leng Chenming with a serious face and said.

Leng Chenming's heart tightened when he heard Jiang Ziluo's words. He realized that he might have said something wrong. He quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that my words would make you uncomfortable. I was just worried about you."

Jiang Ziluo nodded, indicating that she accepted Leng Chenming's apology, but she still emphasized: "I know you mean well, but I hope this is the first and last time."

Leng Chenming understood what Jiang Ziluo meant, and he agreed: "Okay, I will pay attention."
