Chapter 100: Catching a Fox (V)

Mei Lin Palace

The three figures swiftly headed inside of their new palace unnoticed by the Emperor's shadow guard.

After heading into her inner chambers, Hui Lan quickly took off her beard and her wig and placed them on the table. Meanwhile, a snowy white figure appeared beside her with big bright eyes.

"Miss! You're back!" Unlike this morning, Xiao Mao was full of spirits as he greeted Hui Lan.

Hui Lan gave a small pat on Xiao Mao's head before thinking of what to do. Along the way, she had been preoccupied with how to get the papers from the Landlord office and until now, she was thinking hard.

Meanwhile, Su Rong had gone to prepare some hot water for Hui Lan to bathe and Su Jou had resumed to his own place to go through their account book. The rest of the maids and guards were their people and they all knew to keep their distance from the Empress' inner chambers. All of their martial art skills were high, so they were always on alert.
