Chu Mu's fingers on his lap were tapping quietly, and his face became colder and colder.
If he hadn't wanted the treasure map to fall into the hands of Shen Qianyi and the people behind him, how could he have come to see her again and again based on her few words?
"I want to see the treasure map in your hand. Otherwise, how would I know if you can play tricks on me?"
"Then why would I put the treasure map on me?"
"In that case, how can I trust you?"
Cheng Yiliu looked at her, and after a while he put down the knife on his neck. "The picture has been engraved in my mind. Now I can draw part of it for His Highness to see."
"Prepare paper and pen." Chu Mu ordered directly.
Soon Nanfeng came over with a pen and paper, walked to the table next to Chu Mu, and put it down.
Cheng Yiliu then walked to the table, picked up the pen, and began to draw on the paper.
In just a short while, a small part of half the map appeared on the white paper.
Because half of it was in Chu Mu's hand, and he had read that half many times, so he had a clear understanding of the direction and style of the map.
When he saw this small part of Cheng Yiliu's painting, he knew that what she painted was true.
After her fuss just now, he could roughly confirm that there was a close relationship between Cheng Yiliu and Shen Qianyi.
Since she wants to enter the palace, let her enter.
Rather than leaving her outside, why not put her under his own watch and monitor her? He wanted to see what trouble she could cause?
He glanced at the picture drawn by Cheng Yiliu and stood up from the stool without saying a word.
He walked to the door of the room and said, "Nanfeng, take her back to the palace and arrange her to be in the Full Moon Pavilion."
After Chu Mu finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Cheng Yiliu, who was standing in front of the table with a brush in his hand, finally curled his lips and smiled when he heard Chu Mu's words.
Nan Feng glanced at her and curled his lips involuntarily.
I also cursed secretly in my heart: What a scheming girl! It is really fanciful to think that after entering the palace, he can get his royal highness. Who knows that his highness only loves Miss Ruan.
As soon as Chu Mu returned to the palace, he went straight to the study in Canglangyuan.
Cheng Yiliu made him really upset. He urgently needed to see Ruan Tang to relieve his anxiety.
At this moment, Ruan Tang and Tana had just finished eating the roast duck and sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Chu Mu had brought back, and they were lying on the soft cushions in the study.
Ruan Tang was telling Tana her storybook.
The two of them giggled as they talked.
When Chu Mu came in, all he heard was their cheerful laughter.
The sound of Chu Mu pushing the door in also caught their attention. The two of them sat up. When they saw it was Chu Mu, Tana quickly got up from the cushion.
"I have met His Highness." She blessed Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded towards her.
Tana was very discerning. She blinked at Ruan Tang and asked to go back: "Sister, I want to see my brother, so I'll leave first."
Saying that, without waiting for Ruan Tang to agree, he ran out the door.
When she passed by, Chu Mu said, "Let the coachman in the mansion take you back."
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness, brother-in-law." Tana was quirky and called Chu Mu in a low voice.
Ran Chumu was very pleased with her brother-in-law's appearance, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
After Tana left the room and the footsteps outside the door became farther and farther, Chu Mu closed the door and walked to sit next to Ruan Tang.
As soon as he sat down, he hugged Ruan Tang directly, put his head on her shoulder, and sighed.
Ruan Tang felt that he was not in a high mood, so he had to ask: "What's wrong with Your Highness? Is Cheng Yiliu's affairs not going well?"
"Tangtang, I have something to tell you, but don't be angry with me, okay?"
Although he allowed Cheng Yiliu to enter the government for official purposes, it was unfair to Ruan Tang.
After all, Cheng Yiliu had that kind of feeling for her, and Ruan Tang also knew it.
"Say, if you are right, I will naturally not be angry."
Chu Mu thought for a while and told Ruan Tang what happened today one by one.
When it came to Cheng Yiliu's proposal to join the government, Chu Mu emphasized several times in succession that he firmly refused at that time.
It was only because of the thought that Cheng Yiliu might be connected with Shen Qianyi that he had to agree to her request.
After Ruan Tang heard what she said, he burst into laughter.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I didn't misunderstand."
She knew how Chu Mu treated her and Cheng Yiliu.
He won't be angry with him just because he brought Cheng Yiliu back to his house.
This is too out of order.
"Otherwise, during the time she is living in the mansion, I will also come to live in your mansion and help you supervise her?"
"This king wishes for more."
Chu Mu was originally thinking about how to let Ruan Tang stay?
Cheng Yiliu's purpose of living in the mansion couldn't be more obvious. He could be sure that she would definitely try her best to make him favor her.
Although he was not afraid of the shadow being distorted, and he would not have any thoughts about her, but Ruan Tang was not here, he was inevitably afraid that some chaos would spread.
Although no one in his house would dare to gossip, there is no guarantee that this woman deliberately spread some rumors.
"Are you serious? I was just joking. How can I have time to help you supervise her? I have my own things to do."
Her storefront plate has been delivered. She needs to finish it quickly and open it as soon as possible. She can't just leave it there idle.
The earlier she opened, the more money she would make. She couldn't delay her business for Cheng Yiliu.
"No, you promised me that you must live here. Anyway, I won't let you go back."
As he spoke, the hand on her waist tightened a little more.
"If I stay, aren't you afraid that I will be bullied by her?"
Cheng Yiliu is not a simple character at first glance.
As for herself, she admitted that she was not a good person at home.
There is no guarantee that Cheng Yiliu will not set him up.
"Tangtang, don't worry. She won't dare to touch you while I'm here. If she dares to do anything to you, I'll take care of her."
