Shangguan Hongye's heart rang with alarm bells: "I can tell you, I will not do anything that is not within the scope of my ability!"
Ming Lanruo smiled as if coaxing a child and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this is definitely something you are familiar with!
Shangguan Hongye looked at her kind and bright smile, and was suddenly stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen her smile so relaxedly at him for a long time.
On weekdays, they are either tit-for-tat or indifferent to the end.
His mood was a little complicated, but Ming Lanruo didn't tell him the truth.
She left with the black-clad Tiqi guard named Qiao Yan.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has been looking at the little empress." Qiao Yan followed Ming Lanruo, like a perfect personal bodyguard.
Ming Lanruo's starry eyes squinted and looked at him: "Oh, what next?"
The phoenix eyes behind Qiao Yan's mask are cold and gloomy, but his smile is gentle and honest: "I suspect that he may not be willing to act according to your wishes."
Ming Lanruo looked at him, her eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh, you know what I want to ask of him."
You obviously didn't want to say this to me, right?
It's really interesting to be a governor who is limited to his role and can't say bad things.
Is this because you are too dedicated, or are you trapped in a cocoon?
She quietly curved the corners of her lips.
"You can probably guess it." He suddenly took a step forward, leaned into her ear, and whispered two words softly: "You want him to seduce you?"
Ming Lanruo subconsciously took a step back. His hot breath was too sultry, and he understood too well the weakness and sensitivity of her body.
She snorted softly: "Well, Captain Qiao is really a smart man, but now, you, a smart man like you, please go to the soup kitchen for me and inspect the soup kitchen. I want to go to the kitchen to take a look."
He should stay away from her!
This person probably saw that she couldn't resist his interpretation of "Qiao Yan" and always tried to seduce her using Qiao Yan's methods.
If she really took the bait, he would seem a little unhappy and would be jealous of himself.
If she doesn't take the bait, he will be silently unhappy.
I don’t know what kind of awkward and evil temper this person has, so he is so idle!
Watching Ming Lanruo go downstairs, Qiao Yan curled up his thin scarlet lips and turned back to his room.
"Master, this is the investigation report on the disappearance of the Duke and the King of Qin's elite in the mountains. There is something wrong with the yellow skins that ate the corpses. They should have been raised by humans.
By the way, there are also confidential records of the exchanges between Jinyiwei and Heiliao Prefecture in Northeast Xinjiang over the years, which have been sorted out."
Xiao Qizi had been waiting for him in the room early and presented all the documents to him.
Qiao Yan sat down and took off his mask.
However, in an instant, his aura and demeanor changed. The gentleness, simplicity and low-keyness were gone. The aura between his brows was sharp and cold, and his whole body was under heavy pressure.
Years of experience in reviewing memorials and handling political affairs allowed him to read through all reports and confidential information very quickly.
He slightly narrowed his gloomy and cold phoenix eyes, suddenly having some guesses in his mind, and then whispered something to Xiao Qizi.
Downstairs, Ming Lanruo was in the kitchen, watching everyone busy for a while.
She suddenly spoke——
"By the way, tomorrow is the birthday of the prefect of Hei Liao. I need someone who is good at cooking to come with me to the prefect's mansion and serve some dishes from the capital to the prefect. Is there anyone willing to accompany me?"
There were probably seven or eight newly hired helpers in the kitchen, both male and female. At this moment, they suddenly heard Ming Lanruo's words.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Although they are good at cooking, and some of their cooking skills are actually quite good, but entering the magistrate's mansion? For the poor, it is like a dragon's pit and a tiger's den!
How dare they enter casually! What’s more, this Ming Concubine stabbed the prefect’s beloved second lady. What if the prefect holds a Hongmen Banquet and seeks revenge like the storybook says?!
If they go, they might be buried with them!
Ming Lanruo didn't look anxious and smiled: "It's okay, don't be anxious. Think about it carefully. I'll come back in the evening and you can give me the news."
She was about to leave when someone suddenly raised their hand: "Ming Fei, that..."
"What's wrong?" She looked at the middle-aged woman behind her who raised her hand.
"I want to ask...are there any extra rewards for going to the prefect's mansion?"
