I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 106 Promotion

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you all."

If you're eager to show off, then let's see what kind of noise you make next.

After sending away all the officials in the Eastern Palace, Mu Yuan closed his eyes and began to plan his next move.

"Jiemie, what do you think of the performance of those people just now?"

Jiemie was stumped by the question. He was already willing to go through fire and water, so how else could he perform?

"Your Highness, it seems that they are all in solidarity with Taibao."

No one disagreed with the Grand Guardian. They all lowered their heads in obedience, not even daring to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"After hearing the news that I was assassinated, it is understandable that you fell down to save your life."

"But the person who plotted to kill me cannot be allowed to stay."

"Go and check on Wang Zhan's affairs."

Jiemie was a little puzzled, "Wang Zhanshi?"

"Hasn't he always followed the rules? When he saw you return to the East Palace just now, he didn't show any unusual behavior..."

"It's only because they're so calm that it seems abnormal. The others are either nervous or trembling, and those are normal reactions."

"Also, are there any suspicious people in Jiyingzong?"

Jiemie kowtowed and reported, "Your Highness, I have failed in my duty and have not yet investigated..."

Mu Yuan glanced at Jiemie and said nothing more. He stood up and walked to the side hall where a sword was placed. He walked over, but did not pick up the sword. Instead, he raised his hand and touched it gently, feeling that there was a layer of dust on it.

Then he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and carefully wiped the dust off his hands.

There was no traitor in the secret guard organization around him, which was actually a good thing for him. He didn't have to spend a lot of effort to reorganize it, and he felt a lot more at ease.

"Is she here?"

Jiemie, who had been kneeling, had thought that His Highness would pick up the sword to punish him, but instead he just asked a question: She? Which she?

Mu Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, not expecting anyone to answer him, but continued: "Let's go to the private house."

"Inform General Cui that I want to discuss something with him."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xin Youran discovered that this old monster's acupuncture skills were indeed amazing. She had a good sleep last night, and when she woke up the next day, the wound didn't hurt much, and it was even a little itchy. It should be healing soon.

Fortunately, no bones were broken.

Because of her shoulder injury, she certainly couldn't cook. Wei Mayan prepared breakfast and lunch and sent them to the small courtyard in the field. Gradually, it went from being difficult to swallow to being able to finish it. This required a great opportunity, that is, when you are hungry enough, everything you eat will taste delicious.

"Miss Youyou, where did you get this dress? It doesn't look like something an ordinary person would wear, but it looks very capable. I'll make a set for myself later!"

Wei Banban looked at Xin Youran's outfit today with great curiosity. She kept touching the fabric of her clothes and observing the workmanship.

"Really? I saw someone wearing this and fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It's much more convenient for working than the long robes we usually wear."

"Then I shamelessly asked her to give me a set. After I go to the capital today and sell these twenty jars of perfume, I will ask how much the dress costs so that I can give the money to the owner."

"Fanfan, if you can do this, I can buy from you in the future."

"She seems to only have black. It would be nice if there were other colors to choose from..."

Wei Wanwan crossed her chest with one hand and touched her chin with the other, looking at Xin Youran's clothes thoughtfully. After a long while, she said, "Your suggestion is good. When you're not wearing it, I'll try it out first."

Leng Yue had been sitting aside wiping the whip in her hand with a piece of cotton cloth, and was not interested in their topic.

"It's getting late, we should set off."

She put away the whip and stood up to remind Xin Youran.

Seeing this, Wei Wanwan took out another purse from her sleeve and said, "Youyou, take this silver. Now that you are half a businessman, you should keep some silver on you for emergencies."

Seeing this, Xin Youran repeatedly declined, "You are so kind, Banban!"

"But I haven't spent all the money you gave me last time! I was thinking of earning some more today and returning it to you with interest!"

"How about this, I'll pay you back twenty taels first. I made twenty-five taels last time I sold the ointment!"

As she spoke, she took out the purse Wei Mayan gave her last time and began to count the silver.

"You should take it first. It's only been a few days, and the interest rate is too low. Feel free to use it. You can earn more interest from you later."

Leng Yue had long lost her patience when she saw the two of them pushing each other, so she took a purse from each of them and said, "You think the money is too hot, right?"

"I don't mind, just leave it here for me."

As she spoke, she took it into her arms and strode out of the room.

Liu Xin Youran and Wei Wantan stood there in a daze.

"Hurry up! If you dawdle any longer, you'll miss Old Li's carriage and have to walk to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Xin Youran hurriedly packed up the package she had prepared and ran after him. "Wanwan, when I return victorious tonight, I'll bring you and little An Ning some delicious snacks!"

Every time I see Lao Li, he is either feeding the horses or wiping the carriage. He is truly a competent coachman.

This time there was another mother and daughter in the carriage, but the deaf and mute man in black who was always seen was not there.

She sat with Leng Yue, and opposite them sat the mother and daughter. The woman looked to be no more than forty or fifty years old, and the daughter next to her looked very shy, hiding behind her mother the whole time. None of the four spoke along the way, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Although Xin Youran was wearing a veil and a hat, she still smiled and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the person, "Auntie, is this your daughter?"

"You two mother and daughter are so alike!"

"You guys are going to the capital too, right?"

The woman was about to speak, but she glanced at Leng Yue first, then smiled and replied, "Yes, buy some clothes for my little girl."

"I wonder where you're going..."

"Oh, I'm going to the capital to sell my homemade perfume. I wonder if you two have the habit of using perfume on a daily basis?"

The old woman was embarrassed when she heard this. "This... I work in the fields all day long, so I don't need these."

Xin Youran smiled and said, "It's okay. This little thing is meant to cheer you up, not just for others to smell."

As she spoke, she took out a box of perfume from the package and said, "It's fate that we can ride in the same car together. I will give this perfume to you two."

"You can try it and see how it tastes. If you like it, you can come to find me in the village's field yard. The price is absolutely favorable!"

The old woman waved her hands repeatedly when she saw this. "No, no, how can I take your things for nothing?"

But Xin Youran could see that the old woman's daughter's eyes were fixed on the ointment in her hand. She must be very curious. At such a young age, she should enjoy as many beautiful things in the world as possible.

So she handed the ointment to the little girl and said, "Try it. It's free."

The little girl reached out and took it carefully.

"Thank you, sir..."

Then she pulled out a small, exquisite sachet from behind her sleeve and handed it to Xin Youran, "This is for you, young master."

Seeing this, Xin Youran smiled at her and took it.

This young lady is really nice. Now we both owe each other nothing.

The carriage soon arrived at the capital. Leng Yue was the first to jump out of the carriage. He looked around and then helped Xin Youran get out of the carriage.

"Oh, I didn't realize you were quite good at business. You're selling your ointment to everyone you meet. Do you think they'll buy it?"

"And wow, you probably don't know what it means for a woman to give a man a sachet, right?"
