Rebirth: Emperor, Take This

Liu Ruyan answered with a muffled voice. It was very quiet, but she could not hear it clearly in the deep night.

When his voice fell into the ears of the Maid Lu, the Maid Lu sighed and comforted Liu Ruyan: "The Empress's thoughts are clear to me, but please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this matter cannot be rushed, the General Liu has its own good friends and good friends, so there are many soldiers and horses on this trip, maybe I will just temporarily lose contact with the capital, and after the Feng City, I will know."

"Empress, you should relax and focus on investigating the General Liu."

"The night is dark, Empress can sleep in peace."

The Maid Lu made a simple mattress on the floor and laid on it. Liu Ruyan wanted to sleep on the bed with the Maid Lu.

But the rules of the Prime Minister's Hall were strict, the Maid Lu said that even if they had left the Residence of Prime Minister, they could not break the rules, and could not sleep together with the Concubine Hui.

Although Liu Ruyan was helpless, she still let her go.

After all, she was someone brought out by the Princess Anyang. Since the Maid Lu had said so, she couldn't force him.

Deep into the night, Liu Ruyan was unable to sleep. It wasn't easy for him to fall asleep, but she was awoken by a loud noise.

Maid Lu was already awake and standing by the door. The door was opened halfway, but Maid Lu blocked the light coming in, so her voice could be heard.

"The Empress has woken up." When the Maid Lu heard the sound of Liu Ruyan getting off the bed, she immediately went forward to help Liu Ruyan put on her clothes.

"I wonder what happened outside to disturb the Empress's sleep." The Maid Lu sounded angry.

If they were in the Prime Minister's Estate right now, the Maid Lu would have erupted already. It was just that they were outside, not daring to act too rashly.

Liu Ruyan smiled, and said: "There's no harm, since I'm already awake, let's go out and see what is so noisy about."

Maid Lu brought water in to help Liu Ruyan wash her face and mouth, but Liu Ruyan did not refuse.

"maid, now that we are no longer in the capital, please do not say 'Empress' anymore and just call me Miss."

This time, his identity was of the utmost importance and should not be known by others. If anyone heard of the word Empress, they would inevitably suspect Liu Ruyan's identity.

Shock appeared on Maid Lu's face as she hurriedly admitted her wrongs: "I was too careless."

There were already a lot of people gathered outside the door. Liu Ruyan and the others' rooms were on the second floor, which had a fence on the second floor. From where they stood, they could clearly see the situation below.

The two guards in the room next door had already walked out and were standing on both sides of the door, guarding Liu Ruyan.

He was doing his duty.

Seeing Liu Ruyan coming out, the two guards bowed and followed him to the front of the fence, as they looked at the situation below.

In the main hall of the first floor of the inn, a white-robed man was sitting at a table in the center with a fan in his hand.

It was unknown who he was, but he did not look like a simple person.

Kneeling on the ground were two attendant s, their hands and feet were tied up, their faces were full of color, they seemed to be severely injured.

At this moment, the owner of the inn was kneeling in front of the man in white, begging him to take a detour.

There were a few guards standing beside the man in white, protecting him.

Liu Ruyan frowned, she did not know what happened, but if she continued to delay, it would be difficult for them to escape.

Lin Xiaode explained: "Esteemed wangfei, there seems to have been some sort of theft happening, it was stolen by two servants from the shop, but they don't have eyes on the top of their heads, so they stole someone they shouldn't have stolen, fell down, and got tied up. The shop owner is begging for forgiveness."

It was likely that the two guards came out after hearing the commotion, so they were able to get a good understanding of the situation.

He only heard the boss begging for forgiveness: "Sir, these two attendant s were originally going to be fired from their jobs, and normally they like to cheat and cheat, but they never expected to get into such a mess before leaving, I hope young master can be merciful and settle this in private, and do not report this to an official!"

The fact that there were thieves in the inn was also related to the reputation of the shop owner, so he probably wanted to keep it a secret. However, this young master seemed to be dressed extravagantly, which was very unlikely for him to be willing.

As expected, the man in white frowned slightly and didn't say anything, but the guard beside him said, "You're such a crafty shop owner, do you know our family's young master's identity? We've already caught him already, and you still want to deny it? You must report your identity to an official!"

There were already quite a few people on the second floor. Most of them had come out because of the ruckus, so they didn't want to sleep anymore. They all gathered around the fence to watch the show.

Some of them were even more interested in watching the show. A young boy with a dazed look on his face and a brocade hat shouted downstairs, "I'm afraid that this boss has opened a black shop!"

Liu Ruyan looked over, it was a middle aged man with a thick waist and a rough temperament, "That's right, if it wasn't for the fact that this young lad is so capable, I'm afraid we would have to report him to the officials!"

The people who had come to watch the commotion echoed one another. "Reporting to the officials —"

Liu Ruyan felt a headache coming on, she did not want to get involved in this, but if she were to report it to the officials, at that time, even if the officials were to investigate, she was afraid that the few of them would not be able to escape from the inn in a short period of time.

Liu Ruyan then looked at Maid Lu beside him.

It was not good for her to come out, but she could take on the identity of a Maid Lu. As long as she could settle this, it wouldn't matter if she took the lead.

Moreover, this matter could have been big or small. As long as the man agreed, he could solve it in private, so there was no need to disturb so many people.

The Maid Lu understood, and spoke loudly: "Young masters, why not listen to a few words of this old one."

Hearing Maid Lu's loud and clear voice, the people around immediately became much quieter.

The people downstairs all looked over, and the white clothed man raised his head, and glanced at the source of the voice, and then turned his eyes, to see Liu Ruyan standing at the side.

Liu Ruyan lowered her head slightly, giving a nod of acknowledgement.

"Deep in the night is the best time to sleep. Young masters, things have gotten out of hand and people have gotten into a commotion. Why are you disturbing the government and disturbing everyone's sleep?"

"Besides, since it's a burglary and Young Noble has the ability, he did not suffer any loss. These two thieves were not lightly beaten up, so it can be considered as having received a lesson. So we should just let the owner off the rent and compensate us a little bit more. We should let them off the hook and go, what does Young Master say? "

The Maid Lu's words were reasonable, the shop owner who was kneeling heard it, and was overjoyed, and immediately turned and bowed towards Liu Ruyan.

A hint of playfulness appeared in the man in white clothes as he threatened, "You are not the type of person to speak. Tell your master to speak to me."
