I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

"It's hard to say." Jiang Xingkuo touched her head.

"This is a capital crime punishable by death. So...will you report him?" Huanyan asked tentatively.

Jiang Xingkuo looked at her strangely, "Are you in love with him?"

Huanyan blushed and said nothing.

Jiang Xingkuo's heart was filled with alarm. If Hai Yanqing was convicted of treason, he would definitely not survive.

"Don't worry. If I report him, you won't be able to escape. It's obvious that the Hai family wants to drag you into this. That's why your brother the emperor is in a dilemma and doesn't do anything."

After Jiang Xingkuo finished speaking, Huanyan felt relieved but was still very confused. "Am I in love with someone I shouldn't be in love with?"

"It would be great if this thing could be controlled..." Jiang Xingkuo smiled bitterly, "Nothing else matters right now. The most important thing right now is to think about how to deal with this thing."

Huanyan nodded, and kneaded a little more black powder, "This black powder... the ratio is not right, the power is not strong enough. This technology is really backward. But with this amount, if we are not careful, the whole princess mansion will be blown up. What should we do?"

"Are you bored and still think it's not powerful enough?" Jiang Xingkuo brushed off the remaining black fire on her clothes and said with a stern face:

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. I'll take care of the rest."

The two of them closed the warehouse door stealthily again.

"Then what should we do with this door? The door knocker that was pried off is hanging on the padlock like this, and it's obvious that someone has been here." Jiang Xingkuo tried to put the door knocker back.

Huanyan pushed her away.

"What are you doing?"

Huanyan ignored her, took out another porcelain bottle from her arms, poured the liquid inside into the door knocker, and glued the door knocker back on.

"This? What is this? Is this glue? There was glue in ancient times?" Jiang Xingkuo's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

But Huanyan put the porcelain bottle back into her arms, clapped her hands again, and then imitated her stern expression and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. I'll take care of the rest."

"You Doraemon! Hurry up and tell me!" Jiang Xingkuo put his arm around her neck, and the two of them walked back quietly.

"Haven't you heard of 'inseparable like glue'?" Huanyan said with pride in her tone.

"You stupid girl! It turns out this thing has existed since ancient times! I thought you made it again..."

Jiang Xingkuo's voice was immersed in the darkness like the deep sea.

The next morning, although Jiang Xingkuo was so sleepy that he yawned continuously, he still got up.

"Songyan, go find a few trustworthy servants to help me transport the things from Runxue Hall and put them in the warehouse at the south gate."

Although Songyan didn't know why she emphasized "trustworthy", she still quickly made arrangements.

Soon, Songyan came back. "Miss, we have found all the people. They are waiting outside the courtyard. They are all brought from our palace, and their deeds are in the hands of the princess."

Jiang Xingkuo was very satisfied and poked Huanyan who was still eating breakfast.

Huanyan was slurping a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus soup, making extremely indecent noises.

"Princess?" Songyan was speechless.

"Well... there's no outsider here anyway..." She finished her drink in a big gulp and waved her hand, "Go, call everyone in the hospital to come to the front hall for a meeting. Everyone. After one stick of incense, everyone must be here. If you don't come, I'll deduct your money!"

Songyan was surprised. Huanyan never disciplined the servants and was extremely free and unrestrained. It was always the maids around them who tried their best to control and manage them.

"The sun is rising from the west?" She muttered quietly, but then turned around and asked, "I will send someone to each courtyard to pass the message. Do the ones that Miss Gangjiang wants to go too?"

She pointed to the servants waiting outside the door.

"They don't need it. Let them get busy." Huanyan grinned, "Okay. Hurry up. Give the order."

Then he turned to Jiang Xingkuo and asked, "Is one hour enough?"

Jiang Xingkuo crossed his arms and said, "One stick of incense is enough."

Many people came into the spacious and bright lobby one after another, making it look crowded at first glance.

Huanyan sat in the main seat, drinking tea leisurely, and occasionally glanced at the servants who were whispering in confusion below.

The housekeeper was also standing next to her and asked the reason in advance, but Huanyan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Until Songyan came close to her ear and whispered, "Princess, the time has come."

Huanyan then lazily put down the teacup, picked up the gavel beside her and banged it hard.

There was a loud "bang" and she was scared.

The servants below shut up instantly, and the entire front hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Is everyone here?" She turned to the housekeeper and asked in a calm tone.

The butler looked at her strangely, then bent down and replied, "Princess, they are not all here yet, and a few more are on their way."

"Oh..." Huanyan nodded and suddenly changed her tone, "Then let's deduct half of the monthly salary of these people."

"The princess doesn't know..." The butler's face darkened.

"Let me ask you, did they know that I told them there would be a meeting today?" Huanyan interrupted him.

“…I know. But…” the butler was about to explain.

"Did I leave you time to prepare?" Huanyan said immediately before he finished speaking.

“Yes…” The butler’s expression became increasingly ugly.

This princess usually doesn't care about the internal affairs of the mansion and never asks about them. Why did she gather everyone together today and be so aggressive?

He even asked a few servants to be late on purpose to test the situation and slap the princess in the face. Now he got slapped in the face.

A few people came from the team behind and mixed in.

"Then...what's your intention for being late at this moment? Do you think you don't take me, the eldest princess, seriously? Then why are you still working in my house? Why don't you go out and start your own business?"

Before she finished speaking, she slammed the gavel again, shocking everyone to kneel down, and cries of pleas for mercy, "Princess, please forgive me!" rang out one after another.

The butler at the side couldn't hold his composure any longer and quickly explained: "Princess, please forgive me! These servants just came back from outside and rushed here as soon as they heard the news..."

"Oh? Really?" Huan Yan smiled crookedly, "Is it really so?"

It was late autumn, but the butler's back was soaked with sweat. "Princess, please forgive me! These little guys are on duty, and it's possible that they came late because they were too busy playing..."

"Then what else is there to say? Collect this month's allowance and go home!" Huanyan rolled her eyes.

Those people became anxious and were about to stand up to explain.

Songyan stood up and cursed:

"What are you arguing about! Did the princess let you speak? Not beating you is already very lenient and merciful! It's only the beginning of the month, and I gave you a full month's allowance before letting you go. What? You don't want the allowance anymore?"

Those people looked at each other, calculated in their minds, then lowered their heads, gritted their teeth and quietly retreated.
