Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 52 The time has come!
Zhao Qi'an did not sleep all night.

He took action against Yu Zhen and took over the princess's mansion, and everything went as smoothly as he expected.

But this...is not the end.

Once you decide to do something, you should use thunder and lightning to do it thoroughly while eliminating all possible consequences.

That night, countless orders were issued from the princess's mansion, and countless people in Kyoto were secretly mobilized.

Until dawn, Zhao Qian'an was still sitting in the hall, flipping through a memorial book in his hands.

Written on the memorial was a list of the managers and servants in the princess's mansion, totaling more than 1,300 people.

He took a cinnabar pen, glanced at the names on the list, and circled a few names.

Then, he handed the memorial to the Luan slave beside him and said, "These few people are old men from Fuyan Palace. You are in charge of this matter. If necessary, you can let Deacon Gou cooperate with you."

Luan Nu took the list and responded softly, "I know which people in the mansion can be trusted and which ones cannot be trusted. Please rest assured, Master."

"Don't do it in Kyoto."

"Yes."

This matter, which affected the lives of dozens of people, was settled in just a few words.

Zhao Qi'an looked at Luan Nu and nodded, "You have done a good job over the years. Now we no longer need you to lurk around Yu Zhen. What are your plans for the future?"

The slave said obediently, "It's up to the master to tell you."

Zhao Qi'an already had an idea in mind, and said: "If you want to return to Xiaowei, I can make an exception and grant you the position of 'Silver Face', and you will work under Nichang in the future."

"You can also stay in the mansion. After all, Steward Gou is a steward of the business and is very busy. He will return to the business after his work here is done. You are familiar with the affairs of the princess's mansion and can take over the position of the chief steward of the mansion."

Luan Nu's heart trembled slightly, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

But before she could answer, there was a noise outside the house.

"Master, I'm back!"

The two people in the room knew who had returned as soon as they heard the loud, dull voice like thunder.

Zhao Qi'an was wondering why Chou Nu came back just after he went out. He looked towards the door and was immediately surprised.

Behind the ugly slave, in the yard outside the door, stood a group of beautiful maids.

Each of them is about sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same height, weight and body shape, with the same well-proportioned figure and delicate beautiful face.

For a moment, it was like a talent show.

Zhao Qi'an stood up and asked in surprise, "Where did you get so many people from?"

The ugly slave said proudly: "I was sent by Butler Gou, who said that I will be in charge of everything from now on!"

Zhao Qi'an's face darkened: "Send it back."

The ugly slave was immediately unwilling: "Why? I finally have subordinates to order around."

"How can so many people live in the courtyard?"

"Then let's move to the bedroom! Steward Gou sent me to tell you that the bedroom has been cleared and we can move in anytime."

The ugly slave looked very excited.

Although she is still a slave now, it does not prevent her from wanting to live in a big house, have people ordering her around, and eat the most delicious food every meal!

What a simple and sincere wish!

I didn’t have the conditions before, so I just thought about it.

But now, it seems like it can really be done.

But Zhao Qi'an shattered her beautiful dream: "I am used to living in this courtyard. You can tell Gou Xiangxi and don't worry about it. Besides, these maids are not needed. Just send them back to where they were brought from."

After the ugly slave realized that his master was not joking, he immediately became as unhappy as an eggplant hit by frost. He said "oh", and his originally cheerful mood instantly turned into a unhappy one.

She reluctantly went outside to chase away the maids and then came back. It was only then that she noticed that there was one more person in the room today - Luan Nu was pouring tea for Zhao Qian'an at the table.

"Ok?"

Chou Nu frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

Of course she recognized Luan Nu, who was the head maidservant of Princess Yuzhen. Her status in the mansion was second only to that of the steward Hai Lao, except for the princess.

However, she knew more about Luan Nu's other identity, that is, Zhao Qi'an's own person planted next to Princess Yuzhen.

Now that Princess Yuzhen is under house arrest, Luan Nu no longer needs to disguise herself and can follow Zhao Qian'an openly.

The ugly slave had just satisfied her desire to be a "maid" and was thinking that as Zhao Qi'an's "slave of life", she would be able to bully others in the princess's mansion in the future. But a competitor came so soon?
She was a "slave of the husks and bran", but Luan Nu also "slept on straw and tasted gall", and her contributions were comparable.

Looking at her beautiful face, seductive figure, and sweet and soft voice...

Look at yourself again...

The only advantage is that he has strong pectoral muscles!

The sense of crisis rising in Chou Nu's heart was about to explode, and he felt sour that he thought if he had known earlier, he would not have practiced martial arts.

She glared at Luan Nu fiercely with her eyes as big as copper bells.

Luan Nu seemed to have sensed something as well. After pouring tea for Zhao Qian'an, she looked up at the ugly slave who was glaring at her, and was stunned for a moment.

But she quickly seemed to realize something and nodded at the ugly slave with a smile.

At this time, Luan Nu said to Zhao Qian'an: "Didn't the master just ask me what I wanted to do? Now the master only has Sister Achou to serve him. I think the burden is a bit heavy. How about..."

Before she could finish, the ugly slave started yelling, "It's not heavy, not at all! I'm bored every day, where can I get more work to do?"

"Are you hungry, Master? I'll make you some porridge myself now!"

She rolled up her sleeves and rushed out of the house full of energy.

This sudden surprise made Zhao Qian speechless.

He looked at Luan Nu and said, "Don't tease her. If you push her too far, she can crush your head."

The smile on Luan Nu's face suddenly became stiff.

……

Two days passed.

The city of Kyoto is still prosperous.

No news of what happened in the princess's mansion was leaked, and there was no commotion in the mansion. Everyone continued to do their job as if nothing had happened.

Only the princess's bedroom, which used to be brightly lit day and night, had become deserted.

Zhao Qi'an has not done anything these past two days. He just drinks tea and reads books in his yard, as if life has returned to the past.

However, his subordinates had frequently come to report in the past two days that Yu Zhen wanted to see him, but he ignored them all.

He is waiting for an opportunity.

It was not until the third day that a box was secretly delivered to the princess's mansion and into his hands.

What’s in the box is... the secret report from Jingzhou!

The troops he sent to Jingzhou finally found the information he wanted!

After Zhao Qi'an looked through a few memorials in the box, his pupils constricted slightly.

After a long while, he closed the letter and let out a sigh:

"The time has come!"
