Chapter 29 It’s easy to do things with acquaintances
Suddenly, Zhu Luo felt a chill run down her spine, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Miss, are you really not feeling well?" Banxia asked anxiously.
Zhu Luo closed her eyes briefly: "It's nothing, it's probably just low blood sugar. I'll be fine after I eat something."
She was definitely not unwell.
Just now, the mirror in my pocket trembled a few times for no reason; it's usually quiet.
Is something about to happen?
"Hmph, these are the junk products she uses, what a waste of that face," Bai Jiaojiao said, holding Zhu Luo's inexpensive skincare products, about to throw them in the trash can, but she froze in front of the makeup mirror.
A faint image of an ancient man appeared on the mirror. He wore a golden crown and brocade robes, but his face was too blurry to be seen clearly.
Bai Jiaojiao subconsciously reached out to touch it, only to touch the cold mirror surface.
She turned around abruptly again, but the white wall was empty; she still hadn't found anything. Disappointed, she muttered, "What kind of high-tech stuff is this? That little bitch just likes to play tricks, trying to scare people to death?"
Zhu Luo calmed herself down and seemed to feel less uncomfortable.
She was also puzzled; what high-tech gadgets in her own home could have scared Bai Jiaojiao like that?
That wall?
It's all clean and white, with nothing on it.
Perhaps he has something to hide.
But Bai Jiaojiao's behavior did seem as if she was frightened; she didn't even remember to restore the furnishings in the room to their original state when she left.
I even tripped and fell when I went out.
If she were to be convicted, obtaining evidence would be incredibly easy.
But Zhu Luo wasn't worried about Bai Jiaojiao.
The panic I felt just now was so strange that even the mirror reacted, but I couldn't get any answers from it. Could this be related to her journey home?
Inside the tent, Cangxu was surprised to find that the prince was eating eggs.
"Your Highness, this egg..." He hesitated, then stopped.
The prince can eat eggs and is not allergic to them.
What was originally an ordinary food has been cast with an indelible shadow because of human actions.
"From now on, there's no need to avoid suspicion. Eggs contain some kind of acid that's good for your health."
The girl spoke quickly, and he didn't hear her clearly.
"Miss Shen's suggestion?" Cang Xu was surprised. The prince hadn't eaten eggs for seven or eight years. This woman was indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Mingyan raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him: "Don't believe me?"
"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."
Both men knew perfectly well that this woman was not the real Shen Zhuluo, and therefore had nothing to do with the divine doctor.
"Hmph, how did her servant react?"
This maidservant in the Shen family served Shen Zhuluo until she was ten years old, and was one of the few people in the Shen family who knew the eldest young lady of the Shen family well.
Cang Xu frowned: "That maid named Banxia recognized Miss Shen as soon as she saw her. I really can't see anything suspicious about her."
"No doubt? Really?"
"I dare not lie, it is indeed so."
Xiao Mingyan stroked his chin: "Interesting. Send someone to keep an eye on things."
“Yes, Your Highness,” Cang Xu was still worried. “The doctor said that this injury is not suitable for movement. If you are worried about the matter in Chenjia Town, I will make arrangements and will definitely ensure that Miss Shen is safe.”
"Who said I was worried about her! Haven't I beaten you enough?" Xiao Mingyan glared at him.
Cang Xu was startled and hurriedly bowed: "This subordinate dares not, this subordinate means..."
Before he could finish speaking, an urgent report came from outside the door.
In a courtyard in Chenjia Town, horse-drawn carriages were coming and going in a steady stream.
The trucks stopped and the goods were shipped out; the workers were busy as bees.
At the exit, the proprietress's accountant was checking the delivery slips one by one: "Fifty bags of refined flour, one hundred catties of glutinous rice flour, ten boxes of handmade red bean paste, fifty cans of fresh taro paste..."
He had seen the goods, but was still completely baffled by these strange names.
"Miss, be careful!" Banxia pulled Zhu Luo aside to prevent her from being hit by the carriage. "Is this Miss's warehouse?"
“Yes, these are all the treasures prepared for tonight,” Zhu Luo said with a beaming smile as she looked around the courtyard and greeted the accountant, “Thank you for your hard work, Master Qian.”
The accountant bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Miss Shen. It's nothing to complain about. It's just that I'm sorry to say I've never seen such novelties in my life. Miss Shen is truly amazing."
"Haha, it's just that everything went smoothly because of favorable timing and location."
The accountant frowned: "Everything has been arranged according to Miss Shen's wishes, but..."
"Just what?"
The accountant glanced around and gestured for them to talk aside.
Do you know that the county magistrate is at Lin Yue Pavilion?
Zhu Luo nodded: "I know, he hasn't left yet?"
The county magistrate was waiting early in Chenjia Town, overjoyed to be able to receive His Highness Prince Li.
However, King Li had no intention of coming at all and stationed his troops outside Chenjia Town.
The army is setting off tomorrow, and Xiao Mingyan has caught a cold, so he won't be able to come.
The accountant lowered his voice and said, "She hasn't left. In fact, the county magistrate sent someone to inquire whether Miss Shen could find an opportunity to meet His Highness."
"Me?" Zhu Luo was slightly startled, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "What does this have to do with me?"
The accountant clicked his tongue: "Think about it, in the entire Chenjia Town, you are the only one who has seen His Highness Prince Li. Moreover, that Miss Banxia has been staying at our restaurant for several days. Everything was arranged by Lord Cang. Today, the Lord personally escorted you back to the military camp. Everyone in the town is envious. If they don't ask you, who else can they ask?"
Zhu Luo suddenly realized.
The county magistrate is a local official, not a big shot, but not a small one either. However, it is still difficult for him to meet with the big shots in the capital.
He probably thought that if he had the honor of receiving His Highness Prince Li, it would be of great help to his future career.
However, Prince Li seemed to completely disregard the magistrate's good intentions and had no intention of coming to Chenjia Town at all; he simply stationed troops outside the town. The magistrate was probably in a panic.
They actually extended their connections to her, a mere young woman confined to her household.
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Zhu Luo refused decisively. “I was rescued by Prince Li and am just returning to the capital. Let alone the fact that the affairs of this military camp are none of my business, how dare I interfere with Your Highness’s decision? No, no, absolutely not. You should let the county magistrate think of another way. Holding a celebration is fine, but finding people is out of the question.”
The accountant seemed very troubled: "Don't mention Miss Shen, I also advised him to do the same. The county magistrate said that Chenjia Town has suffered from bandits for many years. Now that His Highness has helped them, the magistrate also wants to express his gratitude on behalf of the people. During the Moon Worship Ceremony, he wants to erect a monument for His Highness so that people from all over the country will know about His Highness's great achievements."
The Moon Worship Ceremony is the last event in the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.
Led by respected local figures, the entire population performs a ritual to pray to the moon goddess for peace and prosperity for the world and for all families.
Zhu Luo was somewhat tempted.
