Lu Yutong looked at Wu Qilan kneeling on the ground and felt deeply that this person was extraordinary.

She just briefly stated the news she had learned from Zhang Shoujing in the past two days, and then explained all the problems.

Lu Yutong quickly extracted the information. The three princes all had spies here, and the Holy Emperor was no exception. The second prince had already inserted his hands into the Ministry of Punishment, and the officials under his jurisdiction had intensified their efforts. As a result, the three princes were involved. The interweaving of powers among the princes.

But the woman in front of her also revealed her identity. She was Gusu Mu's personal maid and Zhang Shoujing's wife, and she didn't want to wade into troubled waters.

But what Lu Yutong saw was not just this. A woman was able to think of this in such a short period of time. Even Zhang Shoujing didn't find any clues, and this person just relied on guesswork to tell so much. Wouldn't it be a pity for such a person to be a concubine?

After a while, he stood up and helped Wu Qilan up and said: "You are a smart person, and a wise man does not tell secrets. I know what you are thinking, and you can probably guess what I am thinking." .”

Wu Qilan said hurriedly: "The princess atones for her sins. The common girl is greedy for life and afraid of death, and she doesn't want her husband to be involved, so she has no choice but to make this move..."

"The fact that you have the courage to stand here and let them communicate for you is enough to prove that your grasp of people's hearts is extremely accurate. I think this is also the reason why you can become the maid of the imperial concubine." Lu Yu Tong said: "This is your advantage, but it will also harm you. I can kill you now or let you go..."

Wu Qilan's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't know why the princess didn't play her cards according to common sense. She closed her eyes and knew that she was in danger today.

In fact, before entering the door, she had countless opportunities to regret and leave. She had done a lot of psychological construction, but when it came to this moment, she still regretted it.

"But I won't kill you." Lu Yutong first gave her a reassurance: "But you have to let me see your value, and you have to know that there are some things that you are not involved in, and it is difficult to know what the situation is now. , what you know is just what you know, maybe my side is not as good as them, or even more dangerous."

Wu Qilan thought in her heart that Lu Yutong had already made it very clear. Since she came to seek refuge, it meant that she had weighed the situation. The situation of the three princes was unknown. Only Princess Changping's side was the safest. Everyone must fight for Princess Changping, and based on Princess Changping's current intention, she must wait until the situation becomes clear.

Even so, the three princes are bound to have a life-or-death relationship, and it is impossible for them to survive well, but Princess Changping's side is not, at least much better.

After weighing the situation, Wu Qilan finally spoke: "The daughter of the people has thought clearly. She will go through fire and water for Her Royal Highness and will never regret it."

The imperial concubine has no heirs. This is the last word. After three years in the palace, there has been no movement. It is okay now, but what about the future?

"The folk girl has no other skills, she just knows how to make pastries. This pastry was invented by the master of the folk girl. After that, there were nine kinds of cakes. They were only passed down to me. After that, she passed away. I will also abide by the master's last words. , instead of making cakes in the house, I will be responsible for some of the concubine’s business, such as Zuixiangju, Liuxiang Pavilion and so on."

"Are you in charge of Zuixiangju and Liuxiang Pavilion?" Lu Yutong asked. These two places are also relatively famous places in Luoyang City. The roast duck in Zuixiangju and the rouge gouache in Liuxiang Pavilion are one of a kind. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Gusu Mu's property.

"I have only been in charge for five years. I left the house to get married, redeemed the deed of betrayal, and have nothing to do with the Gusu House anymore." Wu Qilan said.

"So, I have a business here, named 'Liu Ji'. The dishes and recipes will be delivered in half a month. I cook Jiangnan cuisine and use strong liquor. I will find a way to open the store in Feng Ping Building.

Across the way, business will start as soon as the dishes arrive, do you understand?" Lu Yutong arranged.

"Young girl understands, thank you princess..." Wu Qilan knelt on the ground and saluted, then stood up again.

Opposite the Feng Ping Building, it is a treasure land of Feng Shui. Whether it is a restaurant or a brothel, who is willing to give up space? And who is an ordinary person who can open a shop there? There must be great power behind it, Changping

The princess is testing her and whether she can be accepted.

Wu Qilan knew it well and had no choice but to accept it and prove his worth. The most difficult thing was that this matter had to be completed within half a month.

Zhao Heng, an official, walked into the garden from the outside and said to the people upstairs: "Princess Qi, someone from the Prime Minister's Office has come and they say they have some news."

"Bring them here." Lu Yutong responded, and Zhao Heng turned around and went to the door to welcome him in.

When someone came from the Youxiang Mansion, Wu Qilan was about to retreat, but was stopped by Lu Yutong: "You can stay too. If you have nothing to do, come and sit in the house more often."

This sentence made Wu Qilan know that at this moment, Princess Changping had completely accepted her. What was her identity? Even in the Gusu family, she was just a servant, but now she is a fourth-rank celebrant.

Madam, there are so many fourth-rank officials in Luoyang that this status is of no importance at all.

But what she didn't know was that Lu Yutong was not only attracted by her thoughtfulness, but also that Jiang Ning was a third-grade ceremonial officer. Although he did not belong to the sixth grade, he still felt that he and Wu Qilan had the same problem. If

If it were her, would she help Jiang Ning plan like this?

Presumably Jiang Ning was the one who planned it all along...

Moreover, she also needs to cultivate her own power in the court and have her own talents, but things need to be done secretly, and Wu Qilan just meets this requirement.

Zhao Heng led people up to the second floor, but saw Wu Qilan, whom he had never met before, and a piece of Yipinsu that was missing from the table. He was surprised and said: "Your Highness, this is Qin Yuxuan from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

.”

"The humble minister Qin Yuxuan, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess." The middle-aged man looked up. He had a goatee, deep eye sockets, and sharp edges. He had one hand in front and one hand behind. He knew he was a counselor at a glance.

Lu Yutong raised her hand and motioned for him to sit down: "Qin Yuxuan, is he the first adviser to the right prime minister? I've heard about it for a long time."

Seeing this, Zhao Heng took a few steps back and was about to go downstairs, but was stopped by Lu Yutong: "Zhao Heng, I will pay Miss Wu five thousand taels of silver in a while. I have already given her instructions about the business at Feng Ping Tower.

If I need anything, please help me more."

Zhao Heng hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "I understand," and went downstairs.

"Miss Wu? Who is Miss Wu?" Zhao Heng thought in his mind, went downstairs, walked out of the small courtyard, and asked the maid at the door: "Miss Wu, who is here today? Who brought her in?"

The maid smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhao, I brought you in a moment ago. The guard at the door reported to Your Highness that there was a woman who claimed to be the wife of a master of ceremonies. She came to apologize. Do you have any orders?"

"Madam of the Master of Ceremony? Apologize? Could it be that it happened two days ago?" Zhao Heng muttered a few times and waved his hand: "It's okay, go ahead..."

He touched his chin, put his hands behind his back, and walked dejectedly towards the accounting office. Five thousand taels, which was clearly the price he quoted for the casino across the street from Feng Ping Building. Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and spoiled the good thing.
