“So King Hui is going to make a move?”
“Most likely, in case they are desperate, it’s best if you don’t go out for the time being.”
“Alright. How are the arrangements at King Rui’s side?”
“It’s almost time. King Rui’s intention is mainly to save the Emperor, and our mission is to protect King Rui’s consorts and a few other important people’s safety if anything happens.
“So next, I have to make some tear gas and knockout powder. Can you help me grind more chili powder and mustard powder?”
“That’s not a problem. It’ll only take a few minutes.” Zhou Ying nodded.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to grind it now. I’ll take it away in a while.”
“Alright.” Zhou Ying went straight to the bedroom, closed the window, and entered her inters.p.a.ce.
Then, she took out a gunny sack worth of ghost peppers and wasabi and put them into a grinder.
After a while, half a sack’s worth of powder shot out. She ground some more again and collected a full sack before leaving the inters.p.a.ce and handing it to Gu Chengrui.
Gu Chengrui got up and took the bag. “Don’t wait for me if I’m not back by midnight.”
“I know. Be careful.” Zhou Ying nodded.
Since Zhou Ying could not go out, she took out a batch of fine cotton cloth and made two sets of inner clothes for the two of them.
During lunch, Xiaxiang put down the food and asked, “Mistress, aren’t you going to wait for Master to come back today to eat together?”
“He has something to do. He will eat outside at noon.”
“What is it?”
Zhou Ying looked up at her and said, “Do you still remember who is the master and who is the servant?”
“This servant spoke too much. In the morning, I just saw that Master was carrying a bag of chili powder out, so I thought that Master was only sending spices to the restaurant.”
“It’s good that you know. We’re the masters, and you’re the servant. There’s no need to report to you what we do.”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
“Go. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for turning hostile.” Zhou Ying waved her hand and chased her away like she was chasing away a fly.
After Xiaxiang returned to the small kitchen, she looked at Niu Lirong with an aggrieved expression and asked, “Sister Niu, does Mistress have something against me?”
Niu Lirong turned her head to look at her. “Mistress has always been kind. It’s you who went overboard with your words today. If it were another master, you would’ve been executed.”
“Is it that serious?”
“Of course, no master would be willing to be watched by their servants. Unless she takes the initiative to mention it, you can’t ask about their plans.
“Didn’t your trainer teach you these rules before?”
Xiaxiang was stunned momentarily, as if she had thought of something. She replied with a smile, “I haven’t served someone in close quarters before, so I really haven’t noticed.”
Niu Lirong didn’t believe a single word, but she didn’t overthink about it. She only thought that Xiaxiang got carried away because Zhou Ying was easy to talk to.
Therefore, she ignored Xiaxiang and started brewing bitter gourd and c.u.mquat tea.
Xiaxiang excused herself politely and pulled out a piece of roasted sweet potato from the fireplace to eat.
Zhou Ying heard their conversation and snorted coldly. Although Xiaxiang tried her best to make up for it, she knew very well that Xiaxiang was really asking about Gu Chengrui’s whereabouts.
It was just that Xiaxiang thought that her ident.i.ty had not been exposed yet and was trying to find a way to eliminate her suspicion.
Unfortunately, Xiaxiang was simply trying to gild the lily, which made Zhou Ying even more certain of her guess.
Zhou Ying wondered when Xiaxiang contacted her superior and what kind of mission she had received.
After that, Zhou Ying had nothing to do, and she would monitor Xiaxiang as long as she left the main courtyard.
She finally found out how they met on the morning of the third day.
It turned out to be Manager Zheng, who delivered winter clothes to the servants in the residence. She was the team leader for Xiaxiang, whom she had discovered earlier..
