352 Storm House
When the emperor saw Ma Ling, he snorted and asked him, “What did Yuan Hui say to you when he went to your place?”
In the emperor’s opinion, Yuan Hui had been relatively quiet these days. He almost only stayed at Ning Yue’s house.
Even when he went out, he only went out to buy something. He did not do anything special, let alone befriend the officials of the Great Yun Nation.
Now that Yuan Hui had made a move, the first person he saw was actually the Inspector of Nine Gates!
Ma Ling was his trusted minister. He had worked under him for many years and was considered diligent.
The emperor did not understand what Yuan Hui wanted to do.
Yuan Hui had been shopping on the streets since he left the Nine Gates Military Governor’s Residence. He first went to the snack street to buy some food, then went to the jewelry shop to buy some jewelry.
After buying the items, Yuan Hui threw them to the guards and swaggered back home.
When the emperor heard the reports from the guards, his brows furrowed tightly.
What was Yuan Hui doing? What was he thinking? He better not let these small problems affect the cooperation between the two countries.
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he did not see Yuan Hui continue after being nervous for the entire day.
That day, Ning Yue fiddled with the medicinal powder in her makeshift lab. When it was time to eat, she left her room to cook. After eating and packing, she continued to return to the lab.
Even Yuan Hui did not know what she was doing.
At night, Yuan Hui couldn’t help but knock on Ning Yue’s door. “Yueyue?”
Ning Yue put down her work and opened the door.
“What’s wrong, Uncle?” Ning Yue asked.
“I saw that you’ve been inside for the entire day. Do you need help?” Yuan Hui asked.
Ning Yue shook her head and said to Yuan Hui, “I’m going out tonight.”
“Where are you going? Hurry up and transfer Baili back! I’m worried about you going out in the middle of the night,” Yuan Hui said with a frown.
When Ning Yue heard this, she quickly refused. “No need, no need. I’ll go alone. It’ll be bad if I bring too many people.”
She sent Baili to Jiang Ying’s side. If she transferred Baili back, there would be an opening beside Jiang Ying, making it easier for him to be a target.
“What are you going to do?” Yuan Hui asked worriedly.
“Uncle, don’t worry. I’m going to take a look at the business. As I’m all acting, I have to act better. If I go during the day, I’ll expose myself,” Ning Yue said.
“Even if you go to monitor business, you have to be careful,” Yuan Hui said.
When Ning Yue heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect myself. Don’t forget that I’m from the future. These ancient people can’t think of taking advantage of me. Isn’t it just a matter of minutes for me to deal with this group of ancient people?”
Ning Yue promised Yuan Hui that she would not put herself in danger.
Yuan Hui looked at Ning Yue in confusion, but since Ning Yue had already said so, he did not say anything else. He only instructed Ning Yue to be careful. “I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go back to my room to rest first.”
“Wait a moment!” Ning Yue stopped Yuan Hui and took out some bottles.
“Uncle, keep some of these things for self-defense,” Ning Yue said.
Yuan Hui looked at the things in Ning Yue’s hand and his heart warmed. “Thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me? I’ve already written the label on it and written everything on it. You have to be careful when you use it. Don’t hurt yourself accidentally,” Ning Yue said with a smile.
“Alright, rest early when you’re done.” Yuan Hui took the things from Ning Yue and returned to his room with a smile.
After Ning Yue tidied up, she changed her clothes and put on the monkey mask. She tied her hair and left.
According to the emperor, his business was everywhere. It sounded quite large, but he did not know how it was.
Previously, the emperor had given her an address. He said that if she wanted to see the business, she would go to that place first.
Ning Yue followed the address to a place called Storm House.
It was unknown what this Storm House was for, but one could not tell from the outside.
Under the moonlight, she couldn’t see how tall Storm House was, but she felt that it was very tall.
As she did not know the situation in Storm House, Ning Yue did not dare to shine her flashlight directly, afraid that she would be treated as a traitor.
