The first is that Zhou Zhubo, as the treasure house manager, did not notice it for so long, which is obviously a dereliction of duty.
The second reason is that Lord Zhou Bo has never made any mistakes in the treasure house for so long, which is a record-breaking thing.
Lord Zhou Bo immediately shook his head.
"This...it's best that the prince doesn't know about this kind of thing...but what should we do? Please give me some advice!"
Qian Ruoyu smiled softly.
Zhou Zhubo was really afraid that the reputation he had maintained for so many years was in trouble, so Qian Ruoyu said with some embarrassment.
"This... I don't have any good ideas, but if you are willing, we can secretly replace these three boxes now, and you can send these two people out and let them take a rest.
The three of us will move the box again, what do you think?"
After hearing these words, Zhou Zhubo nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, my dear, this is a good idea!"
Zhou Zhubo then hurriedly greeted the two boys, while Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er moved the two boxes at the door to the grass beside the door to avoid being discovered by the two of them.
After waiting for the two boys to leave, Qian Ruoyu, Zhou Zhubo and Yan'er changed the three boxes again.
It wasn't until after changing the boxes that Yan'er suddenly realized that her mother-in-law, the civet cat, was planning to exchange for the prince!
After changing the boxes, Master Zhou took a long breath, obviously relieved.
"Oh, thanks to my mother-in-law, she said such nonsense and found the original two dowries. Otherwise, I, little old man, would not be able to keep my reputation!"
Not only did Zhou Zhubo help Qian Ruoyu replace these inferior rouge and gouache, he even wanted to thank Qian Ruoyu!
For Qian Ruoyu, this is simply a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone.
After all, all the high-quality rouge gouache has been replaced, and almost all of the rouge gouache stored in the treasure house is low-quality rouge gouache. Even if it expires in the future, it almost doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu's lips gradually turned into a smile.
This is simply a waste of money, and all the benefits are taken away in one fell swoop.
But at this moment, Yan'er beside him suddenly reminded him.
"Mother, I saw the prince, he is coming this way..."
When he suddenly heard these words, even Qian Ruoyu herself was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction Yan'er was pointing with some disbelief.
Sure enough, Chu Mobai led Si Yin and Si Ze towards this side. Although there was a garden across the way, Chu Mobai obviously also saw Qian Ruoyu here!
Qian Ruoyu was startled when he saw this scene, and his head shrank back.
"How to do how to do?"
When Qian Ruoyu panicked, Lord Zhou Bo on the other side also panicked.
He was afraid that this matter would be exposed, so he looked at Qian Ruoyu anxiously and wanted to ask Qian Ruoyu how to solve this matter.
"This... Madam, the prince is here, what should we do?"
Now he happened to be at the door of the palace's treasury, and Chu Mobai not only saw himself, but also apparently saw Yan'er, but he did not see Lord Zhou Bo from his angle.
As a princess, it is obviously normal for her to come to the door of the treasury, and it is also normal for Yan'er to follow her.
Then what needs to be done is to make it reasonable for him to come here and make things more smooth, so that Chu Mobai may not be suspicious of him.
Qian Ruoyu calmed down her thoughts for a moment, then immediately pretended to be calm and said to the two people in front of her.
"Ahem, don't worry you two!"
"I have a solution now. Put these two boxes aside immediately, preferably in the grass next to them. It's up to you to do this Yan'er!"
Yan'er naturally nodded quickly after hearing this.
Although Chu Mobai and Qian Ruoyu had already looked at each other, there was still a little distance between them, and Chu Mobai's pace was not very fast, which was enough for Yan'er to hide the two boxes.
Qian Ruoyu then said to Lord Zhou Bo in front of him.
"Zhou Zhubo, don't worry so much. Didn't you just call the two of them out? Now you have to leave temporarily. I said that I will help you take care of the treasury for the time being. If you have something to do, you can leave first."
"In addition, it is enough to close the door and let me stand at the door."
Zhou Zhubo was already very anxious after hearing these words, so as soon as he heard these words, he nodded immediately, turned around, closed the door, and hurriedly walked in the other direction.
Lord Zhou Bo had just disappeared from Qian Ruoyu's sight when Chu Mobai had already arrived at the door of the courtyard.
Yan'er also quickly stood beside Qian Ruoyu. Although she didn't know what Qian Ruoyu's plan was, she believed in Qian Ruoyu in her heart.
"Empress..." she whispered.
Qian Ruoyu said calmly: "Why are you so anxious?"
"Everything is according to my plan. Don't act so panicked. If the secret is revealed, I will beat you when I get back!"
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Yan'er finally calmed down.
Qian Ruoyu also watched helplessly as Chu Mobai led Si Yin and Si Ze towards this side.
Chu Mobai came to Qian Ruoyu, lowered his head slightly and glanced at Qian Ruoyu from top to bottom.
Then he also saw Yan'er beside Qian Ruoyu and the tightly closed palace treasury.
Chu Mobai didn't say much at the first moment after seeing Qian Ruoyu.
Yan'er quickly lowered her head and said.
"This slave has met the prince."
Si Yin and Si Ze, who were behind Chu Mobai, also lowered their heads and spoke respectfully to Qian Ruoyu.
"I've met the princess!"
"I've met the princess!"
The two said in unison.
And this was obviously not what Chu Mobai ordered the two of them to shout, but what the two of them shouted spontaneously.
Chu Mobai didn't stop them from calling Qian Ruoyu that way.
Qian Ruoyu smiled slightly and said to the two of them.
"No gift."
Then Qian Ruoyu also looked at Chu Mobai, without showing any timidity on his face.
"What are you doing here? Could it be that you knew I was here and came to see me specially?"
After hearing this, Chu Mobai still looked around expressionlessly, only to see the locked door.
he asked calmly.
"Where is Lord Zhou Bo?"
Qian Ruoyu has long been used to Chu Mobai's indifference to her.
Therefore Qian Ruoyu didn't answer, only Yan'er beside her spoke.
"I'm telling you, Lord Zhou, Zhou Lord Bo just left not long ago, only half a stick of incense."
"My slave and your concubine came here just before the half-burning of incense, and prepared some money for buying groceries tomorrow."
