Liu Yue searched for a long time but only saw the guy's white undershirt. His face was blocked by the eunuch. The tall and thin eunuch was kneeling on the footstool, massaging the acupoints with all his heart. His technique seemed quite skillful. This poor prince really knew how to enjoy himself!
After massaging for a long time, Liu Yue almost fell asleep, and then she heard the prince mumbled, "Well, that's enough, you can go down, I'm going to rest now."
Liu Yue woke up instantly, moved his stiff neck and was about to look down carefully, but suddenly realized that the guy would notice a gap in the roof as soon as he opened his eyes. Shocked, he held his breath and quickly moved the tile back quietly.
"Xiao Luzi, come here!" The prince suddenly shouted in a low and rapid voice, which startled Xiao Luzi. He hurried back to the bed, "Your Highness? What's wrong, Your Highness?"
“Look there… Never mind, it’s okay, you can go down,” following the direction the prince’s hand had not yet been lowered, Xiao Luzi looked carefully at the rooftop, but did not see anything unusual.
"Your Highness must be overworked and exhausted. I will go and add some incense to calm your nerves and help you sleep, and also send another person to watch the night."
The prince stared at the roof and waved his hand nonchalantly to let the eunuch go. He seemed to see a tile move just now, but then he thought that the palace was heavily guarded, and it would be difficult for someone with ulterior motives to remain undetected.
With such self-comfort, Song Ruiyang gradually fell asleep. Liu Yue stayed on the roof until she heard his long and even breathing. After she was sure that he was asleep, she used her lightness skills to slip out of the palace and return to the Cao Gang.
"What did the boss find out last night?" Hei Muzi asked Liu Yue cautiously while standing below him, his eyes slightly lowered to avoid looking at Liu Yue's face, the dark circles under his eyes were too eye-catching.
"Don't mention it! That guy is very cunning, and he has an even more cunning little eunuch by his side. He comes back very late at night, chats for a few words and then goes to sleep."
After Liu Yue finished speaking, she added in her mind, "And he sleeps with plain girls. He is so poor that no palace maids are willing to be with him."
Hei Muzi sighed, "I went to the Ministry of Works today and handed in a visiting card, but the person who reported it said that the person was not there. It was said that it was the prince's own idea."
Liu Yue was still a little sleepy, and with half-closed eyes, she told Hei Muzi, "I understand. Tell people to keep an eye on the Hu family's itinerary. They have been away from Da Zhou for several days, and I estimate they should arrive in our Daliang capital in the next two days."
"Yes, I will do it right away. What about the prince?"
"Let's continue sending out visiting cards and asking if anyone can recommend me. I plan to visit the clients that have been poached from us."
"You want to go in person? But we have already met with them and have already hit a snag," Hei Muzi frowned, "and their attitudes are quite unfriendly, so there is no need for you to go in person."
Liu Yue forced her eyelids open. "Do you think I'm going to beg them? As the saying goes, even if the deal fails, the friendship remains. But they seem to want to draw a line between us. There must be something fishy going on."
Hei Muzi's eyes showed helplessness. "Boss, I'm not being a hindsighter. I also felt something was wrong before, but after checking, it seems that it was just because Zhou's price was low, so I didn't dare to report it to you! I'm incompetent!"
"If it's so easy to find out, we won't be so passive. After all, the person surnamed Zhou is backed by the prince, and it's not your job to get information. You just need to be a good counselor and help me do business well. If you are incompetent, then it's me, the gang leader, who is incompetent."
Liu Yue opened her eyes with all her strength, took the strong tea that the maid had prepared and drank a large cup of it, then leaned back in her chair, "Golden and Silver, do you know how to give me a massage? Who can give me a massage on the head? I've never had this happen before when I went to bed late, it's really strange."
Hei Muzi watched Liu Yue's mumbling voice getting quieter and quieter, and as soon as Yin Yu started to massage her after drinking the tea, she fell asleep.
Jin Yu and Hei Muzi looked at each other and were silent for a moment. Hei Muzi reluctantly stretched out his hands to straighten the wrinkles of his clothes, bowed to the two maids, and quietly retreated.
