Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Chu Mengyao was a little hesitant when she heard Hong Jin say they were bandits.

After all, they are different from professional killers. Not only do they lack experience, but their mouths are not necessarily reliable. If the truth is exposed later, they will inevitably get into trouble.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Aunt Zhao, "Madam, can their price be a little lower?"

Madam Zhao replied respectfully, "Princess, I asked, and they said that the people killed were from the palace.

The risk is huge for them, so every point counts.”

After Zhao Ma finished speaking, she looked at Chu Mengyao as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chu Mengyao frowned and said, "Mammy, just say what you want to say! It makes me uncomfortable to see you like this."

"Princess," Madam Zhao thought for a moment and then spoke up to persuade her, "I think that we have already arranged it and will do it during the birthing.

Why are you spending this money?"

Chu Mengyao frowned, with a hint of urgency in her voice: "I don't want to wait any longer now, and you have also read the news my father sent me.

Now that we have such a good opportunity, why don’t we use it.

Anyway, by then the entire capital city will be in chaos, and the palace inside and outside will be in chaos.

If a few thieves came into the house to take advantage of the situation, everyone would just blame me for not taking good precautions and would not involve us at all.

It can only be said that Shen was unlucky to have encountered this!"

Her voice gradually became louder, revealing an unquestionable stubbornness and ruthlessness.

Seeing how determined she was, Nanny Zhao felt uneasy, but she also knew that no matter what, she could not change her mind.

I can only follow her wishes, so she lowered her head and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Princess, in this case, we can only ask professionals to do this.

Don't forget that Shen has a maid who is good at martial arts.

If the person who comes is too weak, it may not be helpful and may even alert the enemy."

After a pause, Madam Zhao continued, "Also, if those people are really bandits, then we may not be able to do anything reliable. I am worried that it will be difficult to send them away, and we will be in danger."

After hearing this, Chu Mengyao tapped the table lightly with her fingernails, lowered her head and thought for a while before she decided and said, "You're right, then go ahead and do it!

Go and tell them to pay 20,000 taels first, and the rest of the reward will be sent after the matter is done."

"Yes, princess."

Nanny Zhao responded, turned and walked into the inner room. After taking the silver bill, she hurried away to contact the killers.

Inside the house, Hong Jin looked at Chu Mengyao and asked, "Princess, do I need to tell those people?"

"Don't worry about them, they don't know you anyway." Chu Mengyao replied indifferently.

Hong Jin nodded obediently, and then a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That's right, when I went there, I covered my face and wore a veil, so no one could recognize me."

Late at night, Chunliu quietly returned to the mansion, and the courtyard was quiet.

She quietly opened the door and walked in, and saw that both people in the room had fallen asleep. Only the small oil lamp in the corner emitted a faint light, swaying shadows, as if expressing an uneasy mood.

However, due to the urgency of the situation, she couldn't care less.

He walked in quietly and gently woke up Dongmei who was keeping watch.

Dongmei was a light sleeper because she was on night watch, and she woke up when Chunliu touched her.

Dongmei was on night watch and had a light sleep. She felt someone approaching and opened her eyes instantly. She saw a dark shadow standing beside the bed and her heart tightened with fear.

Just as she was about to scream, Chunliu quickly covered her mouth.

"It's me, don't make any noise." Chunliu said in a low voice.

Dongmei was able to see the person clearly in the dim light. The fear in her heart gradually subsided. She nodded with a hint of doubt on her face.

After Chunliu let go, Dongmei glared at her and said, "What are you doing? Do you want to scare me to death in the middle of the night?"

Chunliu showed a helpless look on her face, and explained in a low voice: "I have something to report, go and wake up the concubine quickly, and don't light the lights to avoid alarming others."

Dongmei saw Chunliu's serious face and knew that if it wasn't an urgent matter, she wouldn't come to disturb her at this time.

So he nodded, stood up, and walked to the bed with Chunliu.

Just at this moment, Shen Jingyi woke up because of the whispers between the two.

She sat up, her expression showing a bit of fatigue and a bit of alertness.

She had been feeling preoccupied lately and often slept lightly late at night, but the noise just now woke her up.

"Did you discover anything when you followed those two people?" Shen Jingyi looked at Chunliu with certainty in her eyes.
