The man thought this way and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he began to search for the account book he was looking for. At the empress's place, he had not seen the account book for a long time, so he guessed whether it was here or not. Of course, it was only a flash of inspiration.
He never expected that Mu Ru Yue would really agree to bring him here. She even brought Princess Wuyou over for help.
”Sister-in-law, what is he looking for?” Princess Wuyou was somewhat wary of this person in the martial arts world. Although the royal family did not have much hatred towards the martial artists, they did not hate them. Thus, when she saw him looking for something, she couldn't help but ask him.
”Something insignificant. Calm down, since I invited you to bring him here, it means that I am certain that he will not harm you and me. Otherwise, why would I pull you down with me? ” Mu Ru Yue consoled Princess Wuyou.
Although she was a lawless person, she was still a person of the palace. There was no way for her to change the mindset of her bones. Stealing from a queen's storehouse was a serious crime. If they were to be discovered, even Princess Wuyou would not be able to survive.
Hearing what Mu Ru Yue said, Princess Wu You's fear lessened.
The reason why she was willing to help Mu Ru Yue out here was also because Mu Ru Yue had stirred up a commotion in the southern region of the city for her. Just for the sake of her inconsequential confusion, this person could pretend to assassinate the Imperial Advisor.
Although he wasn't really going to kill someone, he was still guilty of an unforgivable crime.
Since Imperial Aunt was willing to do this for her, she naturally couldn't be too careful. Although mufei always said that everything had to be done by others first, not by taking risks. Available... If they didn't even have sincerity, how could they make use of others?
Furthermore, compared to using it, she was more willing to believe in friendship.
”Let's look for what we want as well. Today, let him give us what we want. When you arrive at the Seventh Marquis' Mansion, I will give it to you. This way, we can avoid being questioned. ” Mu Ru Yue replied.
Hearing this, Princess Wuyou nodded her head with a smile. The two of them headed towards the pile of treasures. In the end, Princess Wuyou chose only one pearl. On the pearl was carved the word ”Qin.” Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but be stunned as she looked at this pearl.
Then, he heard Duke Wuyou say: ”This is the betrothal gift the Qin family gave elder sister back then. There is a pair of pearls in the Qin family, and one of them is this item while the other is Qin Ziyi. The reason this item was given to the elder sister was to inform her that they would treat the elder sister with the same respect as they would for Qin Ziyi. I never thought that elder sister would be able to deliver it to the empress and leave it here so casually. ”
Princess Wuyou felt a little infuriated when she said this. There was even a trace of unwillingness.
If he gave it to her, she would protect him no matter what.
Mu Ru Yue didn't say anything and also picked a few items. In the end, his gaze fell on a dagger and could no longer move away. This dagger was inlaid with three blue gems. The dagger wasn't big, but it could be hidden in the sleeve.
Mu Ru Yue picked up the dagger and opened it. A cold light flashed past her eyes. A hint of surprise appeared in Mu Ru Yue's eyes. Without saying anything further, he put it away as well. In the end, Princess Wuyou chose only two items.
There was a painting and a bead. They were all items from the Qin family. As for Mu Ru Yue, she chose three of the most expensive items and a dagger.
After the two of them were done, the man on the other side also finished rummaging. He came back with a face full of dust.
”It seems like you didn't find it.” Mu Ru Yue was elated at his misfortune. When the man heard this, he could not help but let out a bitter laugh. ”Aunt, don't laugh. I'm also in despair!”
”I'll find him sooner or later.” With that, Mu Ru Yue passed the treasures to the man before she continued, ”Quickly pick your items and then we'll leave quickly. If we are discovered, we'll really be in despair.”
The man felt that it was reasonable when he thought about it. Since they were already here, shouldn't they at least get enough proof?
Thinking like this, the man took out a bag from his bosom and filled it with a bunch of items under the astonished gazes of Murong Yue and Wuyou. After resisting, he said, ”Let's go.”
