Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Chapter 28 Discovery of Northern Liang spies

Su Luoxue brought Meixiang back to the bamboo garden. Banxia brought tea. Su Luoxue picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. She was also thirsty. She had waited for so long and said so much nonsense.

Banxia saw the young lady drink the tea in one gulp, poured another cup, and then went out to do her work.

"Miss, I see that the old lady is much friendlier to you after coming back today." Meixiang said.

But she remembered that when the old lady did not go to the temple to worship Buddha, she was the most strict with their young lady in the mansion. If the young lady had a dispute with the second young lady, no matter whether it was the young lady's fault or not, it would be their young lady who would be punished by being spanked on the palm of her hand. The young lady always tried not to shed a tear, but every time she saw the young lady's red and swollen palms, she would cry bitterly.

"Miss, the old lady has always been strict with you. Today you are so young and I don't understand you. Is this a trick?" Meixiang said worriedly, thinking of the past.

"Well, our Meixiang is getting smarter and smarter." Su Luoxue looked at her approvingly.

Meixiang felt embarrassed when her mistress praised her like that. "What should we do?" Meixiang asked.

"What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we can fight him with our soldiers. If a flood comes, we can block it with earth." Su Luoxue said with a smile.

At this time, Bai Zhi walked in and said, "Miss, someone who claims to be Nanny Zhou came to see you. She said she came to give you something on behalf of the old lady."

The old lady gave her something? "Let Mammy in!" Su Luoxue said.

"Yes." Bai Zhi went out and brought in an old lady after a while.

Su Luoxue took a look and found that it was indeed the nanny who had just been seen beside the old lady.

"Greetings, Miss." Nanny Zhou bowed politely.

"I wonder what's the matter that Nanny came to my bamboo garden in person?" Su Luoxue said with a smile.

Nanny Zhou handed over a rectangular nanmu box in her hand.

Su Luoxue did not reach out to take it immediately, but looked at Madam Zhou and asked, "Madam, what is this?"

"Miss, this is a string of jade Buddhist beads that the old lady treasures. The old lady said that you are a person with a Buddhist affinity, so she asked this old servant to bring this string of Buddhist beads to you." As Nanny Zhou spoke, she opened the wooden box and presented it to Su Luoxue.

Su Luoxue looked over and saw that the jade Buddhist beads in the wooden box were pure in color, delicate and transparent in texture. At first glance, they were obviously a rare and good thing.

The original owner's grandmother was really willing to give it away. Thinking of this, she said, "Mammy, I dare not accept such a valuable thing. Please go back and thank my grandmother for me."

This, actually didn't want it, this was something that Madam Zhou hadn't expected. Such a good thing, whether it was given to Zhang or the Second Miss, they would definitely love it.

"Miss, you really don't want to accept it?" asked Madam Zhou.

"Mammy, I appreciate grandma's kindness, but please take the things back with you. I really can't accept them." Su Luoxue said again.

Nanny Zhou wanted to say something, "Baizhi, please take Nanny out." Su Luoxue spoke first.

Nanny Zhou looked at Su Luoxue, and finally said nothing, then took her things and left.

"Miss, why don't you accept such a good thing?" Meixiang asked the young lady when she saw Nanny Zhou leaving.

"No reward without merit, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Su Luoxue said lightly.

"Miss, why hasn't the Regent come to our place for dinner in the past two days?" Meixiang asked with a gossipy look on her face.

It's true that he hasn't come for a few days. Su Luoxue thought. "If he didn't come, then he didn't come. No one cares about him."

"Miss, don't you want to?" Meixiang said.

"You girl, you are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to make fun of me, your young lady!" Su Luoxue said, pretending to hit Meixiang.

"I dare not, I dare not, Miss, I was wrong." Meixiang said quickly, then packed up the teacups and ran away.

Xuan Moyin, who was being talked about, sneezed suddenly. An Yi quickly asked, "My Lord, are you cold?"

The day before yesterday, after returning from Zhuyuan, An Yi received a secret letter from Lingxuan Pavilion, saying that a spy from Beiliang State was found in the capital. This person was very skilled in martial arts, and Lingxuan Pavilion sent several experts but failed to capture the spy, and their own people were seriously injured. The spy had already fled to the Qiwu Mountain area outside the capital.

Lingxuan Pavilion is an intelligence and assassination organization established by Xuan Moyin after he returned to Beijing to hand over his military power. In just a few years, the intelligence personnel of Lingxuan Pavilion have infiltrated several other small countries and important officials in the court. The assassination organization of Lingxuan Pavilion is also well-known in the world.

Beiliang Kingdom is just a small country next to Yuan Kingdom. There are also several small countries around Yuan Kingdom, such as Nanxiang Kingdom, Hongnan Kingdom, Tenglong Kingdom, etc. However, they have always been unwilling to betray Yuan Kingdom, especially Beiliang Kingdom. In the past, Xuan Moyin was stationed at the border. He earned the title of Living King of Hell with every sword and gun he fought for. Beiliang Kingdom was afraid of Xuan Moyin and dared not provoke him. The border has been peaceful for a long time. Recently, Beiliang Kingdom has begun to become restless again, and their spies have even been found in the capital.

Xuan Moyin did not dare to delay and took An Yi to chase to the Qiwu Mountain area. However, he had been searching with An Yi and his men for the past two days. They found some traces on the mountain, but they disappeared halfway through the journey.

No matter how much I searched, I couldn't find any traces. This was impossible! Xuan Moyin was also very confused.

An Yi said: "Your Majesty, why don't we return to the capital first? We have already alerted the enemy this time. I am afraid that the spy will have to stay hidden for a long time. The longer we stay here, the less likely he will come out."

Xuan Moyin nodded slightly and notified his brothers to return to the city immediately.

"Yes." An Yi took the order and left.

Prime Minister’s Mansion, the old lady’s Anshou Hall.

"Didn't the girl take it away?" asked the old lady.

"Yes." Madam Zhou said, handing over the nanmu box with both hands and placing it on the old lady's tea table.

"What did she say?" the old lady said after taking a look at the wooden box.

"The eldest lady only said that she didn't dare to accept such a valuable item, but she didn't say anything else." Nanny Zhou said.

Oh, this is like her style. Such a good thing, that girl has been timid since she was a child, she must not dare to ask for it. The old lady thought of this and said: "Okay, I know."

Su Luoxue naturally didn't know all this. She locked herself in the room, and then entered the space. She looked at the medicinal herbs in her space and wondered whether she should do something in this ancient time. She should also make some money. After all, this Prime Minister's Mansion was not her long-term home.

Let’s open a clinic. She is good at this, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Yes, let’s open a clinic. Let’s go to the street tomorrow to see if there is a suitable storefront.

Thinking of this, Su Luoxue counted the silver she had on hand. She took the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Empress, and the money sent by the Grand Tutor's Mansion. The total amount of silver and silver notes was more than 140 million taels. All in all, she was already a small wealthy woman.
