“Sure” Zu An had his own staff residence back at Bright mechanism He opened the door and took in the rather sizable courtyard There were even several different rooms within The environment and layout were rather nice, but of course, it emphasized safety and secrecy This was probably an occupational hazard of the Embroidered Envoy
“Where are the other embroidered envoys?” Zu An asked curiously
Zhuxie Chixin replied, “This is your personal residence Why would there be any other embroidered envoys here?”
“My personal residence?” Zu An was stunned Are the benefits really this good? He assu to be thrown into a coave hi alone The identities of embroidered envoys are wrapped in mystery They are almost always masked while on the job Aside from the emperor, even I do not know the true identities of soether”
“Then where do the others live?” Zu An probed further
“Their residences are scattered throughout the palace, like your own,” replied Zhuxie Chixin “However, not many embroidered envoys are qualified to live within the palace… In short, if others come by, you absolutely cannot show your real face to them You must wear a mask Masks, uniforms, and other equiph the was prepared so quickly? It seeo”
Zhuxie Chixin clasped his fist in the direction of the imperial study “We subordinates cannot presuhts”
Zu An curled his lips in disdain Why are you sucking up to him all the way over here? There’s no way the emperor can hear or see you
“By the here are the residences of the other embroidered envoys in the palace? I should pay theet to know theht?” Zu An asked
Zhuxie Chixin frowned “The embroidered envoys usually prefer to rest yourselves privately Further cases They do not spend much time in the palace”
“They don’t spend much tiht struck hi cases was probably a secondary reason Thewithin the palace None of the all day in this small space was akin to imprisonment
It would be a disaster if they accidentally ran into a concubine or princess That was a transgression that would result in the eradication of their entire clan
Clearly, no other embroidered envoy would wish to live in the palace Zu An was probably the only one as this excited
Zhuxie Chixin was beginning to grow annoyed “Are you done looking around yet? If you are, we’ll be leaving the palace I’ll show you to your residence outside the palace”
“I have another place outside the palace?” Even Zu An was beginning to feel embarrassed Not only were they distributed tasks, they were distributed houses as well! He had received two of theo, one within the palace and one without He would have been incredibly rich if he’d been given two houses like this in his previous world
“Of course We of the Embroidered Envoy have to assu out our respective tasks Besides, you also hold the position of the crown prince’s secretary, and have no relatives in the capital We can’t just have you sleeping on the streets,” said Zhuxie Chixin
Zu An looked as though he was ood care of me I will never be able to repay this kindness even in a thousand lifeti as you have this mindset, then the emperor’s trust in you was not in vain” Zhuxie Chixin’s expression eased slightly
It seemed to Zu An that Zhuxie Chixin really was one of the eh inforuy of setting him up
The two of the the way, they crossed paths with a lavishly-dressed beauty Zhuxie Chixin ireeting
Even though the commander was devout and respectful, Zu An wasn’t so honest He secretly raised his head to take a peek He saw a group ofa beautiful woure, and there was a natural sway to her gait Oddly enough, she did not give off an aura of seduction Rather, he only sensed a pure, gentle and graceful bearing
Hm? It’s actually her
He’d o It was Concubine Bai
This lavishly-dressed beauty was actually bored to death, and was out for a stroll She paid no heed to the guards bowing towards her, since it was a habitual sight
