The crowd held torches and walked in the secret passage, with Cuizhu following closely behind.

With resentment in her heart, she told the princess not to talk to the emperor or the regent, but she refused to listen. Now she has ended up in such a miserable end and has nothing. If she had followed the regent, she would be the most noble now. woman.

Unlike now, she is like a rat crossing the street, hiding everywhere, feeling uneasy, and never having a good day. Everything now is because she has seen the wrong person.

Now the emperor only has that woman in his heart. Everyone is dead. How can he still talk about being alive? Everyone is crazy.

The exit of the secret passage was at the edge of a ruined temple in the west of the city. A black hole appeared under the Buddha statue in the ruined temple, and someone climbed out of it, pretending to be an ordinary person.

On the other side, Wei Zhan, who was lying on the bed, put down the letter in his hand, "There is news."

"A secret guard came to report that there were several suspicious people in the city yesterday."

Wei Zhan's eyes flashed with unnoticeable excitement, and he said with a casual amusement, "But you have to keep an eye on it. A good show has to be played slowly to be interesting."

"Yes."

"Is she back?"

"not yet."

Yu Youyou went out with Tang Wanru on the pretext of buying pastries for Wei Zhan, and the two of them went to check out various shops.

There are many makeup shops in Crescent City, but there are only a few that do good business, and they are all regular customers.

If a shop suddenly opened and there were no gimmicks, customers would definitely not patronize it. Fortunately, Zhao Qianqian had promoted it in advance.

She was confident that she could attract customers and build the shop. The two of them looked around several times and found that the owners of the rouge shop were all sweet-talking and praising people like flowers.

It seemed that there were a lot of things to buy. The two bought a few boxes of rouge and left the shop. Tang Wanru asked her, "Yuyou, where do you think the shop should be better located?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Her eyes lit up as she remembered something.

"It's still the same as before, just open the shop near the brothel. They are the ones who need rouge and gouache the most."

"Yuyou, is this really okay?"

Yu Youyou nodded thinking about her dream of getting rich.

''Yuyou, I heard it all that day. ''

Yu Youyou was confused, "What did you hear?" ''

''That's what the emperor told you. A person like the emperor must keep his word. I can also see that the emperor is sincere to you and really likes you. ''

Yu Youyou looked at her and shook her head, "When did you start talking for him?" ''

''You also know that those high-ranking officials have three wives and four concubines. There are so many women in the backyard that you can't even count them. What's more, he is the emperor. It's rare for me to see such an infatuated man. ''

Yu Youyou didn't know if she could change the subject, "Isn't your father very good to your mother?" ''

Speaking of this, Tang Wanru shook his head, "My father always had the idea of ​​taking concubines in the past, but my mother had a fierce temper. She cried, made trouble, and hung herself three times, so my father relented. In addition, my father has been fighting outside all year round. I am often at home, and my aunt is considered a rare one. ''

''He is responsive to my mother and I's requests and is very good to us, especially me. He has given me all the good things since I was a child, and he will not force me to do anything I don't want to do. ''

Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Yu Youyou asked, "What, are you homesick?" ''

''Sort of. ''As he spoke, Tang Wanru took her arm and rested his face on her shoulder.

Yu Youyou patted her hand to express comfort. The word home was so far away from her.

She changed the subject, "Let's go and have a look at the shop in front." ''

The two of them entered the shop, and the shop owner came over enthusiastically, "What do you two ladies want?"

"Show us the best powder you have here."

The boss asked someone to take out the store's signature products and show them to the two of them, "Girl, these are the most popular makeup products in our store."

Yu Youyou opened a box of lip balm, looked at it, and smelled it. It was no different from other lip balm stores, but they all said theirs was the best, and they boasted that it was shipped from various places.

Yu Youyou put down her lips and said, "This is what I need."

"Yuyou, this makeup and powder are almost the same, these bosses are really good at it." Tang Wanru muttered after leaving the shop.

"If you don't say this, how can others buy their things? The most important thing in doing business is to be sweet and praise people to the extreme. If your customers are in a good mood, they will buy your things."

"Are we still going to buy snacks for the Emperor?"

Yu Youyou nodded and thought of something, "By the way, why is it like a mouse seeing a cat every time you see him? He doesn't seem so scary."

Speaking of this, Tang Wanru's mind unconsciously pictured a man piercing someone's chest with a sword, his expression unchanged.

She leaned into Yu Youyou's ear and whispered, "I have seen the emperor kill people at palace banquets before."

Yu Youyou turned her head and looked at her, "At the palace banquet that day, an official drank too much and openly provoked the emperor, calling him an unlucky person."

"Then he pierced the official's stomach with his sword. Now that Tang Wanru thinks of Wei Zhan's sinister expression, he gets chills all over."

Yu Youyou suddenly realized, no wonder this girl is so courageous but always so afraid of Wei Zhan.

"It'll be good if we meet him a few more times. He won't do it for no reason..."

Tang Wanru shook his head violently.

The two bought pastries and left the shop. Several people in the dark watched the two go away.

"Miss Cuizhu, who are they?"

The dead man shouted to Cuizhu twice before he came back to his senses.

"We should go, the Emperor is still waiting for us."

Cuizhu nodded, her eyes always following the two figures in front of her. Her face was calm, but her heart was in turmoil. Wasn't she killed in a sea of ​​fire three years ago? Why is she here, why is she not dead yet.

Cuizhu's eyes became more and more fierce, and he said to the dead soldiers, "Can you catch those two women?"

The dead man shook his head when he heard this, "We can't act rashly without the master's instructions."

"Aren't you looking for Xu Ning? She knows Xu Ning."

Hearing this, the dead man was a little eager to try, but was stopped by one of them, "Don't scare the snake, go back and inform the master."

Seeing this, Cuizhu chased Yu Youyou in the direction of disappearance regardless of her. The expressions of the dead soldiers changed greatly and they also followed.

Yu Youyou, who had just stepped onto the carriage, looked around, feeling that there were eyes staring at her from the dark, with a cold feeling on her back. She looked back at the people passing by on the street, but there was nothing there.

She stepped into the carriage and the carriage drove away slowly, revealing Cuizhu's resentful face in the darkness.

Why is she not dead yet? Cuizhu clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of terrible malice. The emperor was in Crescent Moon City, and Yu Youyou was also in Crescent Moon City, so wouldn't they have left together long ago?

Thinking of this, she hated her even more. It was this bitch who had robbed what originally belonged to the princess. Why could they hide in Tibet and never live a good life? How could she, Yu Youyou, get everything.
