Chapter 583: She Wants the Black Armor Army
Meng Qianqian and Banxia returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion.
Banxia asked, "Are you sure it's okay to leave Tan'er alone on the street?"
Meng Qianqian replied, "Don't worry, she knows that street well and often goes out to play by herself."
Banxia had been with Miss Meng for a long time and wasn't entirely naive. She understood that Miss Meng had left Tan'er behind to give her a task. She suspected it had something to do with the Elder Princess, who had been causing trouble for Miss Meng.
Banxia couldn't help with these matters, so she decided to work on embroidery for Miss Meng instead. Summer was approaching, and she planned to stitch a pair of mandarin ducks playing in water.
Meng Qianqian had specifically accompanied Banxia back to the mansion before immediately returning to the street. She followed the marks Tan'er had left and met up with her.
She entered a teahouse.
The teahouse owner, noticing her refined attire, approached with a smile, "Welcome, honored guest. Would you like some tea or a meal?"
"My maid came in earlier. Which private room is she in?"
"Was it the one with a candy skewer?"
"That's her."
The owner remembered Tan'er clearly, not just because of her clever and pretty appearance but also because she had been generous, giving him a gold ingot.
"Upstairs! Please follow me, madam!"
The owner personally escorted Meng Qianqian to the third room on the left of the second floor and asked, "Madam, do you have a favorite tea?"
Meng Qianqian pointed to a pot of hot tea on the table, "She's already ordered it, and it's my favorite."
The owner hesitated for a moment, then asked, "May I ask, madam, who are you—"
Meng Qianqian smiled, "I'm waiting for my husband."
"Oh, I won't disturb you, madam!"
The owner withdrew with a smile.
Meng Qianqian entered the room.
Tan'er used her inner strength to close the door and looked excitedly at her hand, whispering, "I've learned it! I'm so cool!"
Meng Qianqian couldn't help but laugh.
She had pestered Lu Yuan for three days before he finally agreed to teach her. It wasn't that he was unwilling to teach; it was just that the move was one he used to show off, and doing it in front of a child would undermine his dignity as the Grand Marshal.
"Are they in the next room?"
Meng Qianqian asked.
"Yep!"
Tan'er nodded and pulled Meng Qianqian's hand to the wall, "Sister, they're behind this wall, but I can't hear clearly."
Meng Qianqian asked, "Can't hear clearly, or can't understand?"
Tan'er pouted, "Okay, I can't understand."
Meng Qianqian smiled, noticing a small hole Tan'er had dug in the wall.
Tan'er hurried to explain, "I came first, and I dug the hole before they went upstairs! I didn't expose us."
Meng Qianqian aligned her left eye with the hole.
There were three people in the room.
Besides the Elder Princess Lu Fengyin and Gongsun Liuying, there was a man in a wheelchair.
The man was facing the hole, his figure partially hidden by the beaded curtain, making it hard to see his face.
"The princess has promised, if you can handle this matter for me, I will grant you anything you desire—power, fame, wealth, jewels, even a fief. I will keep my word!"
It seemed they were plotting something significant. The fact that Gongsun Liuying was present indicated that she had completely won the Elder Princess's trust. It made sense; with Gongsun Yanming's strategic advice, even a mere princess would be no match.
"Princess, what you want is too much."
The man in the wheelchair spoke.
Meng Qianqian thought his voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Lu Fengyin said casually, "If what I want were small, would I seek you out?"
"But what the princess wants is the Black Armor Army."
The man pushed his wheelchair forward a few steps.
The beaded curtain fell behind him, revealing his face without any obstruction.
Meng Qianqian's eyes widened in shock, "It's him..."
Have you guessed who it is?
