Green Bamboo went back and picked up Xia Chang, who was eight or nine years old, and wore a set of accessories. He showed them to Ru Yi before giving them to Gao Qianqian, taking the clothes she exchanged with her to wash.

The string with the big money was in Ru Yi's hand.

Ru Yi sucked in a breath.

He handed the jade bun over to Green Bamboo, ”Order it down, and make it exactly the same. If Miss Gao asks, ask her where she got it, and bring it back for me.”

Green Bamboo retreated.

Ru Yi went to the front. She could not see the Du Family, nor could she see Zhao Yun. However, she could not let many people know about this, and even her father had to hide it from her.

First, Zhou Xuan might be the vice commander, but the entire Guard Battalion listened to him. He was no different from the commander, and second, Zhou Xuan had met Qianyun that night. No matter what, she hoped that the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

Zhou Xuan quickly arrived. Ru Yi rejected the others and asked, ”You want to see someone alone, but don't want others to find out. Can you do it?”

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he became excited. His Highness was using him! As a vassal, he was not afraid of his master not promoting him, but was afraid that his master would not remember him and not order him around.

”I can.”

”Very good. ”Come closer.” Ru Yi explained in detail, then took out a piece of paper. ”Just say that you are the commander of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan and ask him to follow you. If he's unwilling, then show him this.”

As he spoke, he folded the paper and handed it over.

This was the first time Zhou Xuan had been ”entrusted with such an important task.” Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and quietly asked, ”Your Highness, this subject has lost consciousness. Can't we just bring him over?”

Ru Yi quickly shook her head, ”No, just tell him what I want. If he doesn't come, then don't force him. Just bring this piece of paper back to him.”

Zhou Xuan repeated in a low voice before leaving.

Soon, the green bamboo was sent over. Ru Yi felt that it was no different from the twin brothers from before. She nodded and left the first one behind, saying to the green bamboo,

”If she doesn't ask, then don't give it to her. If she does, then give her this and see what she says.”

Green Bamboo replied and was about to leave, but Ru Yi said, ”Wait.” She hesitated for a moment, and then said, ”I think it's very good, go and do the exact same thing. Who did this for you? ”Give it to her.”

Green Bamboo hurriedly replied, ”I have a little sister in the Shang Guan Bureau who is good at fighting, and I often ask her to help me, but the previous one is a bit old, and I tore down a nearly old one, and used the old thread to ask her to beat it. That money was taken from the Shang Guan Bureau, and I picked and asked for seven or eight different kinds, each with four or five types.”

The coins were all molded in the palace, so there were many kinds of coins in the palace. It was easier to make old coins than to make old ones, but when Green Bamboo asked people, he took the money and tested it a few times before he made his own.

Ru Yi nodded her head, ”This way, we won't waste too much time and effort in rewarding others. Help Gu Bing remember this matter.”

Green Bamboo said, ”It is the duty of the servants to do things for their masters.”

”Mm, I understand. You can go now.”

After she had left, Ru Yi looked carefully at the necklace in her hand. This was made by her mother, and her mother's needlework was ordinary, but she was always the one who loved to dress up. Her family wasn't rich, and she couldn't afford the jade pendant, so her mother made up a huge sum of money and gave it to her.

If she thought too much, she wouldn't dare to do it, so she summoned Zhou Xuan on an impulse and sent him out. She didn't know if he could bring Lei Yun over, but she stood up and walked around the hall for a bit. She felt a bit nervous, so she relaxed her breathing and began chanting.

Ever since she was a child, she had been calm and collected, but she wasn't someone who didn't have emotions. When she was young, she read Zhuang Zi's < Free and Unrestrained Wandering >, and even she didn't like to do anything for him, but she still wished for her heart to be free.

In other words, Du Weizhao's heart was the same as Zhu Ru Yi's. This wasn't just her own feelings, she also wanted those she cared about, those she apparently abandoned, to look at her in the same way.

Since he couldn't go back to being Du Weizhao, then he might as well be the one with Du Weizhao's thoughts.

At the Xue Courtyard, Zhou Xuan was also in a difficult situation. He had never thought that there would actually be someone who didn't give face to the princess. She was the princess!

Sometimes, even the king had to give in to the princess to establish her authority. In the capital, no matter whether it was a noble or noble family, how could they not curry favor with the princess? It was just like the young miss of the Residence of Cheng. Even though the princess had sent people over, she had still happily received them.

Could it be that the young man in front of him was spoiled because of his good looks?

Zhou Xuan looked at the silent Xue Shaoyun with a bit of pain in his teeth.

Even he himself was at a loss as to what to say. Zhou Xuan had already revealed his identity and stated his intentions. At that moment, his heart was filled with joy, but that happiness soon disappeared. It was like the rising and falling of a tide, and he was unable to control himself.

Zhou Xuan could tell that the youth in front of him was someone he had met that night. He was skilled, but was still young, and wasn't his match. It was a pity that the princess' order was not to force him. However, if he really did not force her, he would have to return to the palace by himself and report to his superiors. Just thinking about it made him feel like a coward.

”When you came here, master said that you are not to force master anymore. Young master doesn't want to go, I have nothing to say, it's just that this was handed to me by master. If you don't change your mind, young master, I will leave immediately.”

Xue Chaoyun raised his head and glanced at Zhou Xuan. He was brimming with vigor, and did not seem like he had gotten better in the past few years. However, he still looked frail and frail. He took the letter from Zhou Xuan.
