Special Forces Queen, arrived! Tang Lin purchasing agent is actually you?

  Tang Lin's body was completely stiff, and it wasn't until the man behind her finished speaking that she remembered to defend herself. She grabbed the man's hand on his waist, intending to twist it off like a radish.

  But she didn't expect that the man would have martial arts skills, and at the first moment, he resolved her move. The long fingers of the hand she grabbed popped out, popping her hand open.

  Tang Lin suddenly turned around and retreated one meter away, staring at the person who could dismantle her moves. But as soon as she took a closer look, she was stunned.

  The man was stunned, not only because she knew martial arts, but also because of her face. In his memory, Shi He had fallen and injured the left side of her face during their escape from the palace, leaving a scar that hadn't healed in time. But now, the scar was gone?

  Tang Lin spoke out in discontent, "Who are you?" The man was about 24 or 25 years old, with a handsome face, long hair down to his shoulders, slender build, and wore a blue long-sleeved shirt, giving her the impression of a beautiful man. But it was still wrong for him to hug her without any reason.

  It turned out that he had mistaken the person. The man's face showed a hint of shame, and he apologized: "I'm very sorry to have offended you, miss. It's just that I saw your back earlier and thought it was my wife, so..."

  Tang Lin rolled her eyes, pointing to the navy blue uniform on her body and the high ponytail on her head, "Have you ever seen your wife wear clothes like this or style her hair like this?"

  Is there really someone in this world who looks so similar?

  Same appearance, but different personality, different charm. The man was amazed by Tang Lin's appearance, but his eyes had a melancholy and wounded look.

  It was just that her emotions were well hidden, and Tang Lin had not noticed.

  The young man raised his eyes, and though he was feeling sad, he forced himself to produce the warmest and friendliest smile. "I apologize, please forgive me for my offense just now!"

  Tang Lin was not an unreasonable person. Since she knew the real reason why the man hugged her, she didn't get angry with him anymore. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's just forget about this!"

  The young man smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, miss."

  "Tang Lin looked at the man and asked after a pause: "Are you a guest?""

  The young man replied, "Exactly. I was passing by here and saw that your Butterfly Pavilion is doing a great business, and I couldn't help but admire it. I kept hearing people around me talking about how the elegant rooms in your Butterfly Pavilion are something that everyone dreams of seeing, so I decided to book one."

  "Haha, so that's how it is. Thank you for the hospitality, sir." Tang Lin walked to the dinner table, picked up a small notebook from the table, and took out a ballpoint pen from her collar. She looked at the man and asked, "Sir, no, young master, do you need something to eat?"

  The man did not order, looking at Tang Lin and asking a question, "Miss, do you have an older sister or younger sister?" Shi He was an only child, with no sisters above or below her. Then who was the woman in front of her who looked just like her?

  Tang Lin was asked and felt a bit puzzled, "Check household registration?"

  "Huh?" The man furrowed his brow, unable to digest Tang Lin's words for a moment. "Check the household registration?"

  Tang Lin said: "You ask this and that, it's not to inquire about my household registration, what is it? Could it be that the young master wants to get acquainted with my sister or younger sister? However, young master, let me disappoint you, I'm an only child, no older sisters above, no younger sisters below. You'd better order food, our wine house's dishes are quite good."

  If he continued to ask, he would surely scare the girl away, thinking that he had come with a purpose. Therefore, the man did not ask anything else and ordered a few dishes.

  The man finished ordering and Tang Lin said "please wait a moment", then tore off the paper with words written on it from the notebook, left the private room and went downstairs to the second floor.

  As she passed by the first floor, Tang Lin glanced at the restaurant on the first floor, which was still bustling with activity, not a single table was empty. She walked up to the bar and asked Yu Xinrui, "Xinrui, how's the financial situation today?"

  "Little Tang sister, you're here," every time she saw Tang Lin, Yu Xinrui always had an inexplicable joy, lifting her head from the abacus, facing Tang Lin, and excitedly saying: "Business is going great, today's earnings might even make up for the silver spent on renovations over the past two days. Little Tang sister, you're really good at doing business."

  Tang Lin was not arrogant, but rather humble, "No way, this is the masterpiece of people from our era, I just moved their masterpiece here for my own use, it has nothing to do with whether I can do business or not."

  Xin Ruo smiled and said: "Anyway, Xin Ruo really admires Little Tang Sister."

  "You little girl..." Tang Lin smiled helplessly and doted on Yu Xinrui, "You calculate carefully, I'll go take a look in the kitchen!"

  Yu Xin nodded, "Mm-hm. Little Tang sister, you can go now."

  Tang Lin didn't say much and went into the backyard.

  In the backyard there was a well, and at this moment, the youngest waiter in the wine building, Xiao Zhu, was busy washing dishes and plates, working very diligently.

  Xiao Zhu, in Tang Lin's eyes, was a typical junior high school student, no matter how young she looked. She walked to a pile of porcelain bowls and plates, squatted down, and spoke to Xiao Zhu in an elder sister's tone: "Xiao Zhu, you've worked hard, are you tired?"

  After all, he was young and inexperienced, so Little Zhu felt a bit shy and didn't dare to look directly into Tang Lin's eyes. He shook his head, indicating that he wasn't tired.

  "You're such a good kid, after our wine shop gets on the right track, Little Tang will take you out to play and get to know people in the outside world. You can wash up slowly first, Little Tang is going to go check on the kitchen," lovingly stroking Xiao Zhu's tender face, Tang Lin finally got up and headed towards the kitchen.

  Xiao Zhu turned her head sideways, watching Tang Lin's departing figure, her face gradually turning a shade redder.

  There were only three people in the kitchen, Lao Tu and the couple of Yu Zi Chen. Because business was too good, there were constant customers, so they had been busy from morning till now, without a break.

  Seeing the three of them busy beyond recognition, Tang Lin felt a little distressed, "Should I recruit a few more people to help in the kitchen?"

  "No need, Sister Tang," Guan Yun said while stir-frying the dishes and speaking to Tang Lin. She looked very relaxed and didn't appear tired at all despite being busy. "The three of us can handle it, after all this is our favorite job."

  Tang Lin said: "Liking is liking, but not getting a rest for many years is not advocated. How about this, I will change the system of the wine house in these two days and try to reduce your workload."

  The old bald donkey said gratefully: "Thank you for understanding."

  "Don't be polite," Tang Lin said with a smile, and then put the paper in her hand on the stove next to Yu Zichen. "This is the dish ordered by the guest in room 202."

  The young master glanced at the paper and saw that the words written in ballpoint pen were not only small, but also very light in color. He couldn't make out what they said for a moment. "Boss, what dishes are listed here?"

  Tang Lin was somewhat puzzled, "Isn't it written here?"

  The young master's face revealed a look of shame and embarrassment, "Person in charge, I...I don't understand those words."

  "Uh," Tang Lin was taken aback, only to realize that her old habit had recurred again. She had forgotten to use a brush pen instead of a ballpoint pen and also forgot to use traditional characters instead of simplified ones. "Sorry about this, it's my oversight. You're not familiar with these fonts, I'll go change them and then give them back to you."

  Then, Tang Lin changed the font and handed it over to Yu Zi Chen, "Done."

  This time, just by looking at the words on the paper, you can tell what dish to make. Yu Zi Chen let out a sigh of relief and took advantage of Tang Lin not leaving the kitchen to ask: "Person in charge, have you seen the purchasing officer?"

  The Crown Prince is worried in his heart. It's almost noon, and the Emperor should have finished his morning court hours long ago. Why hasn't he come yet today? Could it be that something big has happened in the imperial court?

  "Procurement officer?" Yu Zichen didn't mention it, and Tang Lin almost forgot about the procurement officer. "You're right, you brought it up, I just remembered the procurement officer. I think I've never met him in person at the wine tower, don't know his situation, always instructing Fengwu to pass on things to the procurement officer. That's right, what I instructed the procurement officer to purchase, did he get it done?"

  The old bald donkey replied, "Responsible person, you can't trust any of us, but the purchasing officer is an exception. The things our wine shop needs are delivered by 5 o'clock in the morning and never lack anything. The vegetables we want are always the freshest. This purchasing officer's efficiency really makes people admire."

  Tang Lin smiled with relief, "It's best if it can be done, and it's also hard for the procurement officer. After our wine tower is on track, I'll invite you to travel, and at that time, please call the procurement officer. Because he lives outside and runs around every day to purchase goods, I rarely meet him, so when you see him in your daily life, would you please help me praise him more?"

  "The child dust smiled and replied, 'That's for sure.'"

  Before leaving the kitchen, Tang Lin said to Yu Zi Chen: "After the dishes in Room 2 are ready, Feng Wu Hui will come to pick them up. I'm going back to my workshop now. If there's anything that can't be solved, find me at the workshop."

  The three of them nodded in understanding.

  Tang Lin didn't say anything more and left the kitchen.

  As soon as she left, Guan Yun asked Yu Zi Chen, "Zi Chen, what does the person in charge mean by 'tourism'?"

  The young master shrugged his shoulders, this action indicates ignorance.

  The old bald donkey chuckled and said, "Our person in charge is not only dressed strangely, with strange hair, but also behaves and speaks differently from ordinary people. I'm getting more and more curious about her."

  Guān Huā Yún was slightly surprised, "Bald Donkey Uncle, don't you know where she's from either?"

  The old bald donkey also shrugged his shoulders like Yu Zi Chen, indicating that he didn't know.

  After settling the accounts, she leaned against the counter and looked at Cao Dan and Gao Ge, as well as Xiao Pang and the others who were busy running around, but the figure she had been searching for was nowhere to be found.

  Tang Lin passed by and saw her staring blankly, calling out, "Hey, Xin Rui, what are you looking at?"

  "Xue Yan is not in the wine tower since early morning, don't know where he went. This guy only knows how to be lazy and let Wu Jie handle all the second floor matters alone, it's too much!"

  Tang Lin said: "Don't be angry, wait for him to come back, I'll ask him the reason."

  Han Xueyan's absence today has made Tang Lin pay attention to this person. When she has time, she will find this "young master" to have a heart-to-heart talk.

  Noon.

  Scorching heat is on the way.

  Palace.

  The Upper Palace - The Emperor's Bedroom.

  Several eunuchs stood guard at the entrance of the palace, dressed in uniform attire and expressionless. The chief eunuch, An Lin, was standing at the door. He was already in his forties or fifties, slender in build, and due to his position, he had to wear a eunuch's uniform.

  "Anlin," a voice came from within the imperial bedchamber.

  Anlin heard the voice and quickly responded, "Your humble servant is here."

  The voice of the Emperor came from inside the house again, slightly low and calm, without any ripples, but very ordinary. "Come in, I have something to instruct you!"

  "Yes." With a slight bow, Anlin responded and opened the door of the bedroom, walked in, and then closed the door.

  The dragon robe on his body had not been changed yet, he stared at the wide dragon bed and was stunned.

  Anlin walked forward, slightly bowing his waist, "Your Majesty, what instructions do you have for your old slave?"

  Perhaps it was boredom, or perhaps he suddenly wanted to find someone to understand some things, so the Emperor opened up this topic, "An Lin, I ask you, who do you think will be the woman who can sleep on this dragon bed?"

  Anlin was asked with great difficulty and panic. If she answered incorrectly, it would not be the woman that the Emperor expected, and she would definitely displease the Emperor.

  It's hard to guess what the emperor likes, who knows which concubine he really favors. At this moment, the feeling of accompanying the king like accompanying a tiger surrounded An Lin, but he didn't give the emperor an ambiguous answer, instead, he said straightforwardly, "I think Han Fei is the best candidate."

  "Queen Han..." It seems that it has been too long since he last paid attention to the affairs of the harem, and Emperor Sheng had little impression of the consorts in the harem. But this Queen Han made him remember something fresh, "If I'm not mistaken, Queen Han was not originally a queen, but a consort, and later because she saved the Empress Dowager, she was given the surname as her title and promoted to Queen Han."

  An Lin replied, "Your Majesty, you are not mistaken. It is indeed the case. The Empress Dowager has intentionally reminded us that among all the consorts in the harem, Consort Han is the only one who has never caused any trouble."

  The Holy Lord took a deep breath and then went to the desk to pick up a folded paper and handed it to An Lin, "Take it and handle it."

  "Uh..." An Lin didn't know what he was supposed to do.

  The emperor calmly said, "The empress dowager wants to worship Buddha and has no time to take care of the affairs of the harem. Naturally, someone needs to be in charge of the harem. I have already indicated on the imperial edict that Concubine Han will temporarily take charge of the harem affairs. You go to the harem now and pass on the message."

  An Lin didn't expect that the Emperor would know more about the people in the harem than he did. Logically speaking, the Emperor rarely entered the harem, yet he knew that Han Fei was the best candidate.

  Indeed, it's hard to guess what you're thinking.

  An Lin admired the wise and sacred king in her heart, but at the same time, she was also afraid of the wise and sacred king's meticulous thinking, because he could think of everything before others did.

  There was only one thing that An Lin couldn't figure out, so he took the risk of being demoted and asked the Emperor: "Your Majesty, why can only Queen Han temporarily take charge of the harem affairs, but not in the long term?"

  The Holy King's answer was simple, "Because she is not the best candidate."

  An Lin thought to herself, if Han Fei wasn't the best candidate, then there was no one better in the entire harem. Could it be that the Emperor's ideal candidate was actually the Empress Chonghuan who had escaped from the palace last month?

  Not long after, Yusheng Jun changed into a dragon robe and transformed into an ordinary citizen before leaving the palace.

  Jūn Dié Xuān

  Fengdie walked into the kitchen and came to Yu Zichens side, asking: "Brother Yu, have all the dishes ordered in room 202 been prepared?"

  He pointed to the table behind him, on which several dishes were already laid out, "They're all here."

  "Hmm," Feng Die Wu responded, "Then I'll send it to the second luxurious room first." Saying that, she took over the tray and put two or three dishes into it before carrying it away.

  Went upstairs and came to Room 2.

  The door of the room was not closed, and there was only one man in the room. At this moment, the man was standing in front of the window, admiring the scenery outside, with his hands crossed behind him, standing upright.

  The butterfly danced because it was holding a dish and couldn't knock on the door, so it called out, "Guest officer."

  At the sound, the man turned his head.

  Upon seeing the man's appearance, the phoenix butterfly danced lightly and was stunned for a moment. What a handsome young man! But she quickly came to her senses and stopped staring at him foolishly. "The wine and dishes you ordered have all been prepared by our winery. Shall we serve them now?"

  The man nodded slightly and didn't make a sound. He had originally turned around with some excitement, thinking he saw Tang Lin, but it was another woman instead, and he felt somewhat disappointed.

  Phoenix butterfly dance holding rice and dishes walked in, then put them on the table.

  The man asked intentionally, "What about the girl who ordered before? Is she busy with something else?"

  Phoenix Butterfly Dance had few people who had contact with her, and her ability to observe words and expressions was not very strong. Therefore, she did not hear the man's implied meaning, and said straightforwardly: "Oh, you're talking about our person in charge? She's busy with other things." The dishes that were brought up were put down, and then she looked at the man, "Sir, the other dishes will be sent to you later, please enjoy your meal first."

  "Alright." The man replied calmly.

  The phoenix butterfly danced without saying much, took the tray and walked out of the room.

  The man sat down at the dinner table, looking at the stack of visually appealing dishes, feeling a bit appreciative, and the colors also made him feel appetizing. He picked up the chopsticks that had been prepared on the table, clamped a piece to eat, and chewed with relish.

  Before long, Fengdie Dance brought in another dish and wine.

  The man asked again about Tang Lin's affairs, "Miss, what should I call you?"

  "Feng Die Wu smiled and said: 'I'm Feng Wu, what about you, young master?'"

  "My name is Fu..." Yu Shu. But Fu Yu Shu did not directly say his name, he hesitated, seemingly considering some factors that made him conceal his true name, "Fu Tian Ze."

  "Fu Gongzi's name is indeed good," Feng Die Wu praised.

  Fu Yushu smiled slowly, "Thank you for the compliment." After a moment of silence, he thought of another way to get Tang Lin's name from Feng Yudie without letting her know that he intentionally wanted to know Tang Lin's name. After a while, he had an idea. "Miss Feng, was the girl who entertained me earlier your sister? You two look very alike, and I suppose your names should be similar too?"

  Phoenix Butterfly smiled and said, "Where did you get that from, young master? You're mistaken. My surname is Feng, our leader's surname is Tang, and everyone in the wine house calls her Little Tang."

  "Little Tang..." Fu Yushu repeated the name with interest, secretly remembering the woman surnamed Tang, Tang Lin. "It seems I was wrong, then her full name..."

  "Sir, take your time, just call if you need anything, I won't disturb you." The dishes had been served, and Fengdie Wusaid said as she walked out of the room.

  Fu Yushu let out a sigh, "What am I doing?" He felt a bit absurd for sneaking around to gather information about others, as this was not his usual style.

  Studio.

  "Little Tang," Lu Baiwan arrived in person today.

  Tang Lin was reforming the wine house's system, and upon hearing the sound, she looked towards the entrance. Lu Baiwan had already walked in, and a smile appeared on her face. "Boss, why have you come? Why aren't you at home accompanying your wife?"

  Lu Baiwan sneered: "She doesn't need me to accompany her, every day there are a group of women who come to chat with her, no need for me."

  Tang Lin pursed her lips and smiled, saying nothing more because she had no good advice for Lu Baiwan.

  "Today's business is better than yesterday." Lu Baiwan sat down opposite Tang Lin, saying with great relief. "Xiao Tang, thank you for helping me keep this place."

  "I'm telling you, boss, why are you still being polite with me? Working for you, of course, we need to achieve such results." After finishing, Tang Lin continued: "By the way, boss, I have a suggestion."

  Lu Baiwan listened attentively, "Go on."

  Tang Lin put forward a suggestion, "Boss, I think our hotel has already recruited enough staff, but the business is particularly hot, which will make our hotel staff busy. I think we should reform the system. As I mentioned earlier, we want to open a high-end hotel, which means we only cater to high-end customers."

  Lu Baiwan furrowed his old brows, he really didn't understand what Tang Lin was saying, "What high-end, high-level? How come I don't understand any of it?"

  Tang Lin said: "Boss, then I'll be brief. We mainly attract people with capital, money, power and influence. Secondly, we will establish a membership system."

  "What?" Lu Baiwan became even more confused, "What system?"

  Tang Lin explained: "Membership system. Let customers become members of our wine house, they can book our private rooms, so that our staff will not be too tired. If we recruit too many people, it will appear that the wine house is very crowded, which is not good. Nowadays, the wine and dishes in our wine house are generally unaffordable for ordinary people, we can only attract high-end customers."

  "Alright, Little Tang, you handle this membership system thing. As for the wine shop, I'm giving you full authority over it, don't need to ask me about anything. Besides, I don't really understand your strategies, so just go ahead and do what you want."

  Explaining further would be pointless anyway, so Tang Lin simply agreed with Lu Baiwan's words, "Alright then, boss. I'll do as you say and manage the wine shop."

  Lu Baiwan let out a sigh of relief, "That's more like it."

  Above half of the sky, it is still scorching sun.

  Time slipped away quietly amidst the hustle and bustle of everyone in the tavern.

  Fu Yushu finished his meal, went downstairs, to the counter to pay the bill, and said to Yu Xinrui who was bowing her head to calculate the bill: "Miss, settle the bill for room 2."

  "Alright." Yu Xiner raised her head and glanced at Fu Yushu, then looked at the order on the table for today, took a look, and said to Fu Yushu: "Young master, it's two hundred and ten taels in total."

  Fu Yushu didn't even frown, and from his bosom he took out two ingots of silver and a piece of fragmented silver to give to Yu Xinrui, "A total of 210 taels."

  "Thank you, young master. Young master, slow down, welcome next time."

  Fu Yushu just smiled slightly and then turned around and walked out of the wine building.

  Just as Fu Yushu had left the wine house, Yu Shengjun walked in and greeted Niu Wu, who was sweeping the floor on the first floor, "Brother Niu."

  "Ah," replied Wu Niu happily.

  "You're busy." Yu Sheng Jun didn't say much and headed towards the kitchen.

  As he passed by the stage, Yu Xinrui saw him and immediately called out to him, "......Big Brother." Every time he sees Yu Shengjun, he has a strange feeling, afraid that Yu Shengjun will send him back to the palace.

  At the sound, Yu Sheng Jun stopped in his tracks and turned around weakly to look at Yu Xin Hui, saying weakly: "What do you want to say?"

  "Brother, you must be tired from attending court."

  "This isn't nonsense, is it?" Yu Sheng Jun didn't want to continue listening to Yu Xin Rui's nonsense, turned around and headed towards the backyard. After a while, he entered the kitchen and saw that all the ingredients from yesterday's shopping list were already piled up in the kitchen, feeling somewhat relieved. Yi Tang and Yi Shuang were indeed top-notch guards of the inner palace, they had gotten things done so quickly.

  "Do you need help?" Yu Sheng Jun walked up to Yu Zi Chen and asked.

  The sudden appearance of the Holy Lord startled Yu Zi Chen, "Emperor......" But since Lao Tu was not far away, he changed his words in time, "Big brother, have you finished your business?"

  The holy lord nodded and repeated again, "Do you need help?"

  Yu Zi Chen glanced around, took a light breath, and didn't dare ask Yu Sheng Jun for help. He was looking for an excuse to refuse Yu Sheng Jun, but couldn't directly refuse, or it would make Yu Sheng Jun unhappy. "Big brother, the kitchen work... we three can still handle it. Ah," he suddenly thought of something, "Today Xue Yan doesn't know where she ran off to, and hasn't been seen all day. Feng Wu is busy with the affairs in the Ya room alone, and is exhausted from multitasking. Unless big brother you..."

  "I understand." The usually taciturn and frugal Emperor threw out a single word before turning around and walking out of the kitchen.

  At this moment, Fengdie is serving wine to customers in room 203 on the second floor.

  When the Holy Lord passed by Room 2, Fengdie had already walked out of Room 3 next door. As soon as she saw him, her heart was excited, and the excitement was finally suppressed, so it didn't show on her face.

  "What do you need help with?" asked the Holy Lord when Fengdie Dance walked over.

  Fengdie was not good at talking to men, especially the one she loved. This Yu Sheng Jun just casually asked her a question, and she was already a little overwhelmed, her heart racing, her face burning, and she desperately wanted to escape. She pointed to the second luxurious room and gathered her courage to say: "Then... let's clean up this place."

  "Oh, I see." After saying that faintly, Yusheng Jun walked into the second elegant room and started cleaning up the dinner table used by Fu Yushu.

  Fengdie stood at the door, looking at the majestic ruler of a country who was actually doing chores among the people. Her heart was both anxious and aching, and before she knew it, her eyes were filled with a layer of mist. She didn't stay at the door for long and left soon after.

  After that, Yusheng Jun has been busy helping Fengdie dance on the second floor, while Tanglin has been working hard in the studio and never stepped out of the studio.

  In the blink of an eye, it was already past mid-afternoon.

  Before dusk arrived, a horse carriage passed by the entrance of Jun Die Xuan and stopped at the corner.

  The curtains of the carriage were lifted by five slender fingers, and immediately, a woman wearing a white cloak and a pink veil appeared in the window.

  A gentle breeze blew, and the gauze of the cloak danced lightly, faintly revealing the woman's eyes inside the cloak, a pair of melancholy eyes.

  The woman looked at the entrance of Jun Die Xuan wine house, and said in a light voice, "Can she save us? I can get through the days of fleeing for my life, but..." On the other hand, she lovingly stroked her abdomen.

  Inside the carriage, a man's hand grasped the woman's hand tightly. "She can save us." The voice was hoarse and calm, with a tone that made the woman feel both comfortable and at ease.

  However, what the woman said next was still faint and tinged with sorrow, "But she's been here all along, how can she save us?"

  The man's voice was even more calm and steady, but behind this calmness, there were unpredictable storms, "I will find a way to make her leave here."

  The horse carriage left soon after.

  Dusk has fallen.

  The setting sun is like blood.

  Yu Sheng Jun helped Feng Die finish the affairs in the elegant room, and then left Jun Die Xuan to return to Xi Jiang Yue Inn. As soon as he left, Tang Lin also left the wine building and returned to Xi Jiang Yue Inn.

  Back at the Xijiang Moon Inn, Yu Sheng's first task was to go to Tang Lin's door and knock on it, wanting to know if she had returned.

  The door was knocked three times, but there was no response. The Emperor became worried and said, "Zhu Shangshu said that the person had been released, where is he?"

  "Hey," Tong Lin's voice sounded from a meter away.

  Upon hearing the voice, Yu Shengjun looked over and saw that Tang Lin was safe and sound, with a spirited smile still on his face. This put his own mind at ease. "When did you leave the great prison?"

  Tang Lin walked up and said: "Good morning. And you?"

  The holy king said, "Last night, those people took me to the prison cell for questioning. I told them that we had been staying at the Xijiang Moon Inn for several days, so they realized that they might have caught the wrong person. Later, they brought me back here and asked the innkeeper to prove what I said was true."

  "No wonder you didn't come back last night," Now it's clear what happened, and Tang Lin's worries about Yu Sheng Jun also dissipated.

  His Majesty seemed to have caught some of her unspoken implications, "You last night... waited for me to come back all night?"

  "It's not, is it?" The vanished worry returned to Tang Lin's mind as Yu Shengjun mentioned it. She opened the door while saying, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, thinking about you being taken away for questioning, and those people possibly using torture on you, my heart was racing with anxiety. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, thank goodness."

  "You're worried." Yu Sheng Jun felt both ashamed and heartbroken, as Tang Lin's concern for him had once again made him anxious about this woman.

  The door was open, before going in, Tang Lin looked at him and smiled slightly, "It's okay."

  "Have you eaten?"

  Talking about eating, Tang Lin immediately felt hungry. If she wasn't mistaken, from last night to now, she hadn't eaten anything. She touched her stomach, feeling a bit embarrassed: "I really haven't had dinner."

  Before long, they were sitting in seats by the window on the first floor.

  The dishes were already on the table, and Tang Lin was rhythmically picking up rice, picking up dishes, chewing, and swallowing.

  The Holy Lord eats slowly, and every time he takes a bite, he can't help but glance at Tang Lin. Her eating pace is neither fast nor slow, very rhythmic, as if she has been trained to be so.

  What nationality is she?

  After eating for a while, Tang Lin slowed down her pace. She looked out the window at the scenery and asked Yu Sheng Jun: "It's just getting dark, it's still early, this night market is just starting, where do you want to go and have some fun?"

  The Holy Lord had never had a playful heart and didn't know what it was like to play. But he thought, if he could be with Tang Linju together, he would do what she wanted to do. "Do you like playing?"

  "Of course." Tang Lin replied succinctly, "Playing is my nature."

  "What do you like to play?" Yu Sheng Jun asked softly.

  "There are many, I like shopping, traveling, swimming, playing ball, shooting, surfing the internet, singing karaoke... in short, as long as it's challenging, I like it. There's no limit to what men and women like!"

  Thinking of her playful nature, Yu Sheng Jun was a bit surprised, but he still didn't understand what she wanted to play with. "Window shopping and traveling, as well as swimming, I get it. But this playing ball, is it Cuju? This shooting, online, Karaoke, where did that come from, and what's fun about it?"

  Tang Lin's mouth curved into a smile, "I won't say you're stupid, it's just that you've never heard of what I'm talking about. How about this, since the night is still young, we go out and take a stroll around the night market?"

  His Majesty smiled and said, "I'm fine."

  The two reached a consensus and after dinner, neither of them returned to their room, they left the inn directly.

  The night sky, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

  The air in Xishi is very fresh and does not become murky even when the crowds are dense at night.

  Colored lanterns shine together, illuminating every corner of Western City, adding a touch of hazy beauty to this night.

  After leaving the inn, Tang Lin and Yu Sheng Jun strolled slowly in the alleys near the inn, and the topics they chatted about were all related to the night market.

  At this moment, Tang Lin picked up a small couple from a roadside stall and said, "Your comrade, why are they so loving?"

  The Holy Lord couldn't say anything, because he had never been in love with her before, so he didn't know what it was like to be in love. "Maybe they just care about each other deeply, that's why they show such deep affection."

  "Hmm, it's possible." Tang Lin nodded in agreement.

  Everyone passing by was a gentle lady and talented young man, embracing each other as they passed. As Tang Lin walked, she felt more and more awkward, "It's so late at night, almost everyone out for a stroll is a couple, we seem to have become their third wheel."

  "Huh?" The Holy Lord furrowed his brow, unable to understand the term "light bulb". "What is a light bulb?"

  "Get out of the way, all of you!" Just as Tang Lin was about to explain, a fast horse suddenly rushed towards her from behind. She heard the sound of hooves and the rider's shout, and immediately became alert.

  But just as she was about to move to a safe area, the Holy Lord had already pulled her hand in the first time and pulled her behind him, avoiding the sudden arrival of the fast horse and escaping a disaster.

  The horse ran ahead, and behind it followed no less than seven or eight attendants, all dressed in the uniform of a large mansion's household servants.

  In the previous section of the road, the crowd was crowded, and the fine horse ran so fast that it clearly didn't intend to stop, and deliberately rushed into the crowd, recklessly showing off its horsemanship.

  Tang Lin looked furious, "How can this be?"

  The Holy Master did not want the people in front to be trampled by the galloping horse, he looked down at the ground, bent down and picked up a stone, just as he was about to use the stone as a hidden weapon to knock down the person on the horse...

  Suddenly, a loud "bang" sound echoed around, scaring everyone to cover their ears, but no one squatted down.

  The warhorse was startled by the gunfire, lost its footing, and suddenly raised its hooves. The person on horseback sat unsteadily and fell to the ground with a thud. They were then helped up by a group of soldiers who had been chasing after them, all of whom were shouting anxiously.

  "Master, are you alright?"

  "Master, what's wrong with you?"

  "Master, are you hurt?"

  The holy king's line of sight was withdrawn from those people and fell on Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin, at some point, already had a gun in her hand, her right hand raised high towards the sky, and the gunshot just now was from her handgun firing into the air.

  She lowered her hand and the gun was now pointing at the ground.

  The Holy Lord's face gradually filled with astonishment, "Just now's voice... was it you who did it?" Where did she get that kind of weapon from? It was actually able to produce such a huge sound, making him extremely curious.

  Tang Lin looked at him, a sly and seductive smile spreading across her face, "Yes, it was me who did it."

  Those people heard their conversation and turned their angry eyes towards them, especially the man who fell off his horse.

  The man had a robust build and was dressed elegantly. Although his appearance was ordinary, the noble air emanating from him proved that he was of high status.

  He was the young master of the Yan Manor - Yan Qin, twenty-three or four years old. The Yan Manor was one of the wealthiest families in the imperial capital, and its wealth and arrogance were on par with those of the Feng Manor.

  "Don't touch me," Yan Qin coldly shook off several servants, then furiously walked towards Tang Lin and Yu Sheng Jun, stopping in front of Tang Lin, pointing a finger at him, "Was it you who did this?"

  "No way!" Tang Lin waved her hand and said with an innocent face.

  Yan Qin angrily said: "But you just said it was you who did it, why don't you admit it now?"

  Tang Lin sneered, "How would you know that what your eyes see is done by me? Did any of you see it?" she asked the onlookers around her.

  Those people all said: "No."

  Tang Lin Chao Yan Qin waved his hand again, "Hey, you saw it, didn't you? Nothing!"

  Yan Qin pointed directly at Tang Lin's face, "You little girl, with your delicate features and pretty appearance, how dare you have the nerve to oppose me?"

  "No way," Tang Lin replied crisply, her two eyes shining brightly as she stared at Yan Qin. "Everyone says they didn't see anything, how come you're saying it was me? Just looking at your reckless horse riding stunt makes my heart skip a beat, how dare I oppose you? Young Master, you're overestimating me."

  "You," Yan Qin was so angry she had an urge to strangle Tang Lin to death.

  At this time, a servant behind him reminded him in his ear, "Young master, we are still rushing to the Feng Mansion, don't bother with this crazy girl, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!"

  "Consider yourself lucky tonight, just wait and see, don't let me run into you again, otherwise, I'll make sure you cry your eyes out." After viciously warning Tang Lin, Yan Qin didn't bother with her anymore and left with the house servants.

  Tang Lin and others walked far away, shouting loudly without fear of death, "Hey, what's that? I'm waiting!"

  After that group of people disappeared into the crowd, Yu Sheng Jun finally looked at Tang Lin seriously and worried for her, "Their background shouldn't be simple, if you meet them again, you must avoid them."

  Tang Lin is a person with a fearless personality, naturally nothing to fear. "What's there to be afraid of? When the soldiers come, I'll fight them off; when the water comes, I'll cover it up with earth. Ha! As a soldier, seeing people in distress, can I just stand by and do nothing? From now on, whenever I meet someone like that, I'll teach one a lesson, see two and teach two."

  The noble gentleman couldn't help but laugh, feeling that he too was unable to control this woman's aura.

  After Yan Qin made such a fuss, Tang Lin didn't have the mood to continue shopping, so she and Yu Sheng Jun returned early to the Xijiangyue Inn.

  Phoenix Mansion

  Yan Qin hastily stepped into the Feng Mansion, and under the guidance of a servant, arrived at the front hall to meet Feng Yiwu's parents. "Yan Qin greets Uncle and Aunt."

  "Good boy, don't be too polite," said Feng Mu with a smile, seeing her future son-in-law, her face filled with irrepressible joy.

  Yan Qin straightened his waist and said, "Thank you, Auntie." At this moment, he no longer had the same arrogance as when he was with Tang Lin, but instead was very humble and polite.

  "Sit down."

  "Thank you, Uncle," Yan Qin said, sitting down on a wooden chair beside him.

  At this time, the maid brought up tea.

  "After a long silence, Yan Qin finally spoke up and said, 'Uncle, Auntie, I've come this time on behalf of my parents. They want to know about my marriage with Butterfly Dance...'"

  "Alas," said Feng Mu, whose face had been full of joy, but immediately fell as Yan Qin mentioned his daughter Feng Die Wu, "it's possible that your wedding will have to be postponed."

  Yan Qin furrowed her brow and asked unclearly: "What's wrong? Auntie, is something the matter?"

  "Feng Bo sighed, 'Yan Qin, to be honest with you, Die Wu left a note and ran away. As for where she went, neither of us knows. If you want to get married, I'm afraid you'll have to find her.'"

  Yan Qin asked: "Didn't Butterfly say where she was going?"

  "Feng's father shook his head, 'The letter didn't mention it, she just said she was going on a long trip, as for where, we really don't know. This child, going out without even bringing a maid, it's really worrying us.'"

  "Uncle and aunt," Yan Qin said, standing up, "you two elders don't have to worry anymore. Finding Butterfly's matter will be left to me, Yan Qin, to complete. I will definitely find Butterfly as soon as possible and return your safe and sound daughter to you."

  "Feng Mu worriedly said: 'But you haven't seen my family's Butterfly Dance before, how did you recognize her?'"

  Yan Qin smiled and said, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about this. Just give me a maid and that will be enough."

  The phoenix mother smiled and said, "I understand."

  Afterwards, Yan Qin left Feng Manor overnight.

  Late at night.

  The evening wind blows gently.

  Soldiers in imperial city uniforms patrolled the streets wave after wave.

  A heavy metal sound came from a certain alley, and it turned out that a team of armored soldiers wearing long boots and holding long spears were chasing a black-clad man with a masked face.

  A man in black held a baby and walked west at the crossroads.

  When the officers and soldiers arrived at the crossroads, one of them spoke up, "Listen to me, everyone. We'll split into three groups. Tonight, we must capture alive the black-clad thief who stole the baby."

  Before long, the man in black was standing at the gate of the Lu mansion, holding a baby.

  In the night, the black-clad man's eyes, fixed on the main gate of Lu's mansion, were exceptionally sharp and piercing like a hawk.

  The baby started crying at this time, and the cry attracted nearby patrolling officers...

  The next morning.

  Tang Lin got up early, put on her clothes and went out. When she passed by the door of Yu Sheng Jun's room, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks. But today, what she saw was still the small second person sweeping the floor in the room, and there was no sign of Yu Sheng Jun at all. She was very puzzled, why did Yu Sheng Jun go out so early every day?

  What is he doing? Specially going to the countryside to collect vegetables?

  He's just an ordinary person, where did he get the money to stay in a high-end room at the inn?

  Tang Lin became more and more curious about the origin of Yu Sheng Jun.

  After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the Jun Die Xuan. However, what Tang Lin did not expect was that at this moment, the outside of the wine house was surrounded by layers and layers of people, and the staff inside were standing at the door, watching as the government officials posted seals on it.

  The wind and moon building across the street, whether it's the entrance or the corridor on the second floor, is crowded with group after group of girls. When they see that the wine building across the street has been sealed off, they all have a look of delight in disaster.

  Once Jun Die Xuan was sealed off, then in this way, Feng Yue Lou's business started to flourish again.

  Tang Lin pushed through the crowd and walked to the entrance, asking the old bald men, "What happened?"

  The old bald donkey had a difficult expression on his face, "We also do not know what happened, early in the morning, we have not gotten out of bed yet and these officers and soldiers drove us out."

  Jun Die Xuan was sealed like this, Gao Ge Er was reluctant, "Person in charge, what to do? This is the wine house we operated together!"

  "Alas, I thought I could hold on for a month," Niu Wu sighed.

  Guān Huán Yún said: "There must be some hidden reason for this, otherwise why would the officials from the government office come personally to seal it up?"

  Tang Lin said to everyone, "Don't be discouraged, I'll take care of the rest. I'll go and deal with it." As she spoke, she walked up to the official who was affixing the seal and asked him kindly, "Officer, I am the person in charge of this wine shop. May I ask what has happened to our wine shop? Why is it being sealed?"

  The officer in charge of posting the notice said, "Isn't this wine shop owned by Lu Baiwan of the Lu Manor? Today, the Lu Manor has been searched and confiscated, so naturally, Lu Baiwan's property must also be sealed."

  "What's going on? Why are you sealing it up?"

  The official said: "Because Lu Baiwan is a thief who stole babies from several families in the capital, he has been arrested. His wealth of ten thousand taels may have been obtained through illegal means, so the government ordered it to be confiscated."

  Upon hearing the officer's words, Tang Lin's smile at the corner of his mouth twitched, "Our boss is a thief who steals babies? This...this is impossible! He's already so old!"

  "We don't know the specific situation either. If you want to understand, go to the government office." After finishing speaking, the official had already posted the seal and led other officials away.

  "What's going on, Little Tang?" asked Xiao Pang anxiously. Having worked for the boss for a long time, when the boss is in trouble, it's hard not to worry as a partner.

  "What else can I do? Just let it go. How dare you, actually sealing my achievement." Tang Lin said angrily and threw down a few sentences, then walked away hastily.

  Yu Xinjuan shouted from afar: "Little Tang sister, where are you going?"

  Tang Lin's figure has gone far away.

  Cao Dan said carelessly: "Where else can we go? Go to the government office to ask about the situation."

  Not long after Tang Lin left, Yu Sheng Jun arrived. Seeing that the door of Jun Die Xuan was sealed and Yu Zi Chen and others were standing at the door in a daze, he stepped forward three steps and asked, "What's going on?"

  "It's obvious," thought Cao Dan, assuming that the Holy Emperor was just like himself, an ordinary person. So he spoke to the Holy Emperor in a casual tone, as if speaking to any ordinary person.

  The Holy Lord did not get angry, and his heart was focused on the Butterfly Pavilion, "Why was it sealed?"

  Lao Tu Lu said, "Our master has been arrested. The government says that our master is a thief who steals infants, so his property has also been sealed up. The person in charge has gone to the government office to ask about the situation, and Feng Wu has also gone to the Lu residence to see what's going on."

  Yu Sheng Jun turned around and left, but was stopped by Yu Zi Chen's soft call, "Big brother, where are you going? Are you going to the Lu Mansion to find Feng Wu?"

  However, the Holy Emperor's answer was beyond the Crown Prince's expectation.

  "The government." He casually threw out two words and walked away without looking back.

  "It's strange that he can even enter the government office." Cao Dan couldn't keep his mouth shut and said something that made Yu Xinrui feel very offended.

  He looked down on people with such a tone, Yu Xin Rui heard it very unpleasantly, "Don't look at people with dog eyes, our Yu Da Ge even if he enters the imperial palace, it's also an easy task."

  "Xīn Ruǐ," Yù Zǐ Chén sternly glared at Yù Xīn Ruǐ, signaling her to stop saying the wrong things.

  "Oh my, still talking about entering the imperial palace?" Cao Dan originally had a matter-of-fact tone and didn't mean to look down on Yu Xinrui. He understood that ordinary people really found it hard to enter official residences, but he didn't expect this sentence would clash with Yu Xinrui's temper. This time, Yu Xinrui's "big talk" made him unable to hold back from counterattacking, "Don't you think about who I am? And what kind of people are you? Commoners! That imperial palace, can you even enter it? You're just talking nonsense!"

  Her heart sank and she felt a sudden sense of despair, "How could I have said such nonsense? This palace..."

  "Alright!" Yu Zi Chen intervened in a timely manner, interrupting what Yu Xin Rui was about to say. He scolded the two of them, "What time is it now? You're still arguing here? All of you, speak less, especially...". Just when Yu Xin Rui thought Yu Zi Chen was biased towards her and felt pleased, Yu Zi Chen turned around and said, "Especially you."

  As soon as she heard this, her nose suddenly turned sour, "Hmph, I won't bother with you anymore." She stomped her feet and ran away crying.

  "Xīn ruǐ." Guān è yún dān yōu zhuī qù.

  Translation: "Heart knot." Official Yu said to take away the worries.

  Government office

  As soon as she arrived, Tang Lin picked up the stick and struck the big drum, immediately, the loud drumming sound brought a group of officials from inside the yamen, who surrounded her in a flurry.

  An official rushed up and snatched the stick from Tang Lin's hand, shouting: "Stop hitting!"

  Tang Lin said straightforwardly and confidently: "I am here to plead for justice. I have a great injustice, why can't I knock?"

  "Want to appeal for justice? Follow me."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly, "This is about right." Keeping pace with Magistrate Ouyang's footsteps, he entered the government office and ascended to the public hall.

  The official had already put on his official robes and sat high up in the main hall, with a slightly angry expression he watched as the bailiff brought Tang Lin in. Once Tang Lin was standing in the main hall, he picked up the wooden ruler and slammed it down -

  Suddenly, "slap" sound, the whole audience was silent.

  The official sternly commanded: "Kneel down, those below the hall."

  Tang Lin stood upright and refused to kneel, unfazed by the official's severe tone. "I'm not a prisoner, why should I kneel?"

  "You," said the official, his face red with anger, "are a hopeless case."

  Tang Lin said with a calm tone: "Our boss Lu is not a thief who steals babies."

  The official sneered, "A joke. Just because you said Lu Baiwan is not a thief, I will let him go? Let me remind you, if you don't kneel down now, I will sentence you to the crime of contempt for the imperial court and disrespecting the imperial court."

  Tang Lin said indifferently, "You sentence him, no matter how many years it is. In short, our master is being wronged, and if you want to punish him, I will make sure you regret it."

  Tang Lin's personality and Tang Lin's strange attire had piqued the official's interest, softening his previously stern expression. "Oh, you want to show off in front of me? You're just a young girl, what do you have that's worth showing off about? I must say, I didn't expect that a baby thief like you would have such an interesting partner. I'm impressed."

  "Sir, I'm not here to cause trouble." Tang Lin took a step back, her temper no longer as explosive as before, and said solemnly: "Our master is so old, he can't be a baby thief."

  The official reminded: "But last night, the Imperial City troops patrolling the city found several infants in the Lu Mansion, and also discovered a set of night-traveling clothes in your East House. This kind of evidence proves that Lu Baiwan is indeed the thief who steals babies." Dejun Building was silent.

  Tang Lin inferred, "It's possible that someone is framing our Dong family, have you investigated this, sir?"

  "This...” The official couldn't answer, feeling a bit embarrassed. He didn't want Tang Lin to see his embarrassment, so he pretended to be serious and said: "This case of stealing babies is a big case, it has been handed over to the highest institution of the Ministry of Punishment for decision. If you want to appeal, go find Minister Zhu of the Ministry of Punishment, this official can't make decisions."

  Tang Lin's temper flared up again, "It's the Ministry of Justice again, I just got out yesterday."

  Soon, Tang Lin walked out of the yamen and ran into Yu Shengjun who had just arrived at the yamen. She was shocked by his appearance. "Yu, comrade, how did you end up here?"

  The Holy Lord was also surprised that Tang Lin would be in the government office, "Why are you also here?"

  Tang Lin furrowed her brow and said with a bitter face: "To proclaim my grievances, otherwise why would I be here?"

  "Seek revenge?" The Holy Emperor asked in confusion, "For whom do you seek revenge?"

  "By the way," Tang Lin asked, "do you know where Minister Zhu's mansion is?"

  The Holy Lord nodded, "I know." But he couldn't understand why Tang Lin wanted to ask about Zhu Shangshu's mansion. "You want to find Master Zhu? Why? This Master Zhu is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, ordinary people can hardly see him."

  Tang Lin said: "I have no background, so I can only go directly to Zhu Shangshu and tell him clearly, we cannot wrong a good person."

  "But if you go like this, you'll only be driven out." Yu Shengjun knew the pros and cons of it and kindly reminded Tang Lin. "Think about it, the one you want to see is a high-ranking official who is above all officials, not just a local official."

  What His Excellency said was very clear in Tang Lin's mind. It's not easy for a small character to meet a big shot. "That comrade, do you have any way?"

  "Let me think for a moment." In fact, Yu Sheng Jun was just making up lies to buy time for himself. After thinking of a lie in his heart, he used his excellent acting skills to tell Tang Lin: "I... I remember now, I have a friend who works at Zhu's residence. It's just that we haven't been in touch for some days, I don't know if he'll be willing to help us meet Zhu."

  Tang Lin didn't think so much, she said: "Let's talk about it after we get there."

  Two men arrived at the Zhu residence and asked the gatekeeper, "Is Master Zhu in?"

  "Who are you?" someone asked from below.

  The Holy Emperor revealed his identity in a different way, saying: "Pass these three words to your Lord Zhu: Zhu, Bo, Bo."

  The servant reminded them: "I will pass on your words, but whether the adults will see you or not is uncertain. Wait a moment, I'll go in and report."

  "Thank you for your trouble."

  The servant turned and entered the mansion.

  Tang Lin walked up and asked: "What did you just say to that person? Can we go in?"

  The Holy Lord smiled and said: "I didn't say anything. You can rest assured, we can go in, and you will also see Mr. Zhu with your own eyes."

  "Thank you," Tang Lin said sincerely. "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to meet Mr. Zhu."

  Tang Lin came down to thank him with a sincere expression, which was somewhat moving, and for a moment, Yu Sheng Jun was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond. "No need to be polite, helping out a neighbor is what one should do."

  Tang Lin couldn't help but laugh, "What kind of neighbor is this?"

  Zhu's study

  The person walked up to the door of the study, and since the door was not closed, they simply walked in.

  Zhu Shangshu is reading a book with a serious expression.

  The servant came forward and reported: "Master, there are two people outside the mansion who wish to see you."

  Zhu Shangshu held his book without putting it down and calmly asked: "Who is it?"

  "I don't know." The servant shook his head and continued, "It's a man and a woman. The man wants to hand over something small to you, Master, with three words, so he came in to report."

  "Oh?" Minister Zhu's gaze fell on the servant, "Three what characters?"

  The lower official, in a voice preceding the sacred monarch's, read out the three characters: "Zhu Ba Ba."

  Upon hearing this, Director Zhu furrowed his brow, looking puzzled and perplexed. "Director Zhu? Who called me that?" He calmly thought for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes, his heart skipping a beat. "It's the...". He immediately instructed his attendants, "Quickly, follow me to greet him."

  Just then, as he was about to leave the study, Zhu Shangshu stopped in his tracks. He seemed to have thought of something and didn't move again. He ordered a servant, "Go invite them to the living room, serve good tea, I'll go see them soon."

  "Yes, sir." The servant replied and then withdrew.

  The entrance of Zhu's mansion.

  The servant who went in to report had not yet come out, and Tang Lin squatted on the stone steps, waiting patiently.

  The Holy Lord stood beside her, suppressing his question for a long time, and finally asked, "Tang Lin, what's the matter that you must see Master Zhu?"

  Tang Lin said sullenly: "Because our master was wrongly imprisoned and became a thief who steals infants, I came for our master's matter."

  "What did you just say?" Yu Sheng Jun discovered something was off, "You're working for your master's affairs? Your master is... Lu Baiwan, Old Master Lu?"

  Upon hearing this, Tang Lin suddenly stood up, looked straight into the eyes of the Emperor and exclaimed: "How did you know?"

  The Holy Lord smiled and said, "I'm going to the government office, it's also for our Dongjia's matter."

  "Really?" Tang Lin narrowed her eyes, "You're not that procurement officer from our wine shop, are you?"

  His Majesty smiled and said, "I didn't expect it either, you're actually Little Tang's person in charge."
