Traveling to ancient times to become a princess, she wins every step of the way

Chapter 144 The Attic of the Thief Chamber of Commerce

"Farewell, Princess."

Li Fei stood sideways and nodded to Su Liluo.

She smiled, folded her hands in front of her, and quickly left Chuyun Pavilion, leaving only a swaying skirt in the night.

Li Fei placed the noodles in the tray on the table and stood to one side, waiting for Long Yunxuan to stay and eat.

Throughout the afternoon, Long Yunxuan spent the whole afternoon in the Duanwen Pavilion of Dali Temple and the officials of Dali Temple looking at the documents and files on the corruption case.

I was so enchanted that I forgot to have dinner. It wasn't until we were walking back that I felt hungry.

However, as soon as he saw Su Liluo, he forgot about his hunger again.

Suddenly smelling the fragrant hot noodle soup, my appetite was suddenly whetted.

After he sat down, he picked up a large mouthful of noodles with the chopsticks in his hand and put it into his mouth. Then he picked up the white porcelain bowl, raised his head along the rim of the bowl and took a large sip of hot soup.

With this sip of hot soup, all the fatigue he felt throughout the day was wiped away.

"Uncle Jiang's craftsmanship seems to have improved recently..."

"Yes, my subordinates heard that Uncle Jiang recently received some recipes written by the princess as a gift."

"Among them, she specifically asked Uncle Jiang to learn how to make the hot noodle soup."

Because she heard that when Long Yunxuan was busy with work and forgot to have dinner, he would always eat a bowl of hot noodle soup made by Uncle Jiang after returning home.

Although Li Fei didn't say it clearly, Long Yunxuan already understood what he meant.

Long Yunxuan smiled brightly and said: "Well, it tastes really good!"

Li Fei stood behind him, smiling lightly and saying nothing.

His prince, nowadays, there are more and more smiles coming from the heart, but the gloomy and lonely look is getting less and less...

I really have to thank their princess who behaves differently!

Su Liluo was alone before. Although she didn't cook often, she was good at eating.

Because she loves to eat, her favorite thing to watch during vacation is food programs.

Every time after watching it, she would order food based on the food introduced in the program. Sure enough, she was rarely disappointed.

With her super memory, she wrote down all the delicacies cooked by the master chefs in the food programs she had watched, and gave them to Uncle Jiang for reference.

Uncle Jiang had never had the opportunity to formally learn cooking skills before, but now he found a treasure.

When he was in the army, he had a headache when he saw books. He actually took those recipes everywhere and humbly asked for advice every day, and carefully read them all and memorized them in his head.

When cooking each type of food, how to handle the materials needed and how to quantify the seasonings added are all recorded in detail.

The hot soup used in the noodle soup that Long Yunxuan was eating at the moment was the hot chicken soup that he specially cooked tonight using the old hens raised in the courtyard of the palace.

Although he was a prince, he had never had any appetite for food due to the late empress's education of diligence and self-restraint since childhood.

When he grew up, he joined the army as a young man and traveled to battlefields in icy places. He was even less demanding about food.

This was the first time that he discovered that a simple bowl of noodles could be so delicious.

Probably, it's because everyone's concern for him is wrapped in this simple bowl of noodles.

two hours later

The wind in summer is warm and cool at the same time.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the tired birds return to their nests.

Although there is no curfew in the summer in Dongling Kingdom, it is still late at night and midsummer has not yet arrived, so there are not many people on the street.

Somewhere outside the south wall of the Duqi City United Chamber of Commerce's mansion, a dark shadow flashed past. It was Su Liluo, who was walking at night in brocade clothes.

After looking around outside the wall, she kicked her toes on the ground and flew over the high wall with the three-foot iron hook in her hand.

As light as a cat, she bent over and squatted on the high wall. Behind her dark scarf, her bright eyes looked warily into the yard.

Visual inspection, it seems no one is there!

'puff……'

She bent her knees slightly and turned around, and the only sound of stepping on the grass was so clear in this silent dark night that it made people hold their breath.

At this moment, the conversation of the servants on night watch came from not far away.

"Did you hear anything?"

"No! Is it a cat?"

"I don't know, let's go over there and have a look."

"it is good."

Su Liluo's body that had just stood firm suddenly sank into the back of the century-old mulberry tree under the high wall, and she quickly held her breath.

After a while, she was hiding in the dark and looked at the servants who were patrolling the night with lanterns. They turned around, looked at them, turned away again, and then she quickly appeared.

Taking advantage of the time when the servants patrolling the courtyard had gone elsewhere, she walked along the grass, like a mysterious leopard, sneaking into the dark night jungle, her body low and silent.

According to the map memorized in her mind, her figure soon appeared in front of the attic where Li Mingyue usually discussed matters with everyone.

The man told her that Li Mingyue was very scheming and had many ideas.

There must be a mechanism outside this attic where letters exchanged between the Chamber of Commerce and various places and people are stored.

Su Liluo would rather believe it, and dare not slack off even a little bit.

After all, her nighttime robbery at the Chamber of Commerce's attic was different from her last nighttime visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Last time, if she failed, it would be amazing to say that she missed Su Xiang and the other two elders too much and went back to visit them late at night.

Tonight, she came to explore because she was looking for someone who could take advantage of Li Mingyue.

If you are not careful and your identity is exposed, it will be very troublesome.

Su Liluo suddenly felt a familiar excitement in her heart, just like the feeling she had when she sneaked into the Ancient Museum of China and stole thousand-year-old antiques for clients.

Nervous, thrilling, yet exciting.

Once that familiar feeling appeared, every nerve in Su Liluo's body was quickly adjusted to the best state for fighting.

The tip of her toes slightly stepped on each gray square brick that she had calculated according to Qi Men Dun Jia. It wasn't until fine sweat broke out on her forehead that she successfully walked under the side window of the attic.

Looking back along the moonlight, the position of each square tile she had just passed was exactly the same as the position she had drawn on the paper in the evening.

That was based on the general map of the house that the person gave her, and then based on the taboos and preferences of Li Mingyue that she collected, as well as the layout of the attic on all sides. Finally, based on the placement of Tianzhu and Tianxin, Determine which way to go and which way will trigger the alarm.

Reaching out to push the window open, Su Liluo hooked her wrist on the window lattice, sliding her graceful figure into the window and into the attic.

As far as she knew, every night after nightfall, Li Mingyue and Zhang Yuan would take out the keys in their hands and lock the secret compartment in the attic where the accounts and letters were hidden.

Su Liluo guessed that the hidden compartment was probably something similar to a safe.

After all, the forging technology of this era is very advanced, and it is understandable that a skilled craftsman like Lu Ban can design and manufacture a box like a safe.

Perhaps it was because the camera obscura was strong and safe that a cautious person like Li Mingyue could safely place all those important things in the attic.
