Chapter 200: Coaxing Grandma Gu to draw a map (Thanks to Ping Lie Ye Mian Baozi for the reward!)

After Xue Baochai finished speaking, she stared at Xiao Wang with sharp eyes, and a terrifying aura emanated from her body, which made Xiao Wang want to retreat.

Xiao Wang was about to say no, but suddenly she couldn't say it. She just trembled and squeezed out a sentence: "I'll go back and get it for you!"

"No need. Wen Xing, send mother back home and bring back the banknotes."

Xiao Wang originally thought that Xue Baochai was just having a tantrum with Xue Pan, but she didn't expect her to be so decisive.

Her previous guilty conscience was instantly ignited: "Why are you so aggressive!"

Xue Baochai was unmoved. She looked at Xiao Wang calmly and said, "Is this aggressive? Then every time mom gave brother banknotes, she did it willingly?"

When Xiao Wang was hit on the heart, her face turned pale and blue.

She turned and walked out, but heard Xue Baochai say quietly behind her: "When I enter the palace, mother will just treat me as spilled water."

Xiao Wang immediately looked back, only to find that Xue Baochai had already gone into the house and disappeared. In front of the door, there were only a bunch of maids looking at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to speak.

Xiao Wang glared at Wen Xing and hurried back to her yard with a lot of resentment.

Daiyu didn't know at the moment that Xue Baochai had placed all the treasures on her. She was diligently helping Nanny Gu grind ink and coaxing her to draw a map.

"Mammy, which street is this? Please draw it more clearly. Also, what buildings are there here? Please draw them roughly. It would be terrible if my men got lost in the wrong place, right?"

Nanny Gu paused with the pen in her hand, and pointed with a smile at the area that Daiyu had asked her to draw.

"If we draw a little higher here, we will probably reach the inside of the Imperial City. I see you don't want me to draw a floor plan of the Ministry of Revenue, but you want to find out the distribution in the Imperial City!"

Daiyu felt a little guilty about what Gu Mama said, but she was stubborn and said, "Ah! Mama, I am definitely curious. I am doing this for the safety of my subordinates. Otherwise, if the subordinates I have trained for so long make mistakes because they help others, it will be a huge loss!"

As if she saw through Daiyu's thoughts, Nanny Gu teased, "Why don't you just stay out of this mess? It wasn't you who did it anyway, so you have a clear conscience."

Daiyu neither agreed nor refused: "I'll let my people give it a try first. If it doesn't work, then I'll have to turn it down."

There was still a smile on Grandma Gu's face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Under Daiyu's direction, she drew a topographical map of the Six Ministries and the Five Military Commandery, as well as a rough distribution map of the buildings inside Chengtian Gate. She even specially drew a small section of the palace wall.

She raised her eyes to look at Daiyu, a hint of teasing flashed in her smile: "How is it? This time, your men should not get lost and accidentally enter the palace again!"

Daiyu knew the principle of quitting while she was ahead, and agreed repeatedly: "No, if they are really that stupid, I will punish them by sending them to farm on the farm!"

She personally sent Nanny Gu to the gate of the inner courtyard, and only then did her tense nerves relax.

Luluo walked up to Daiyu and whispered, "Madame Gu was so creepy just now!"

Daiyu turned her head and found that the lingering fear on Luluo's face had not completely faded away, so she teased her, "Why didn't you come over just now to save your master from the dire situation?"

Luoluo stuck out her tongue and said, "Madame Gu won't really do anything to you. Who are you going to send?"

Daiyu rolled her eyes at her, blew the map dry and put it away.

"I was just about to praise you for being more stable, but now you've exposed your true colors again! There's no rush for this matter. I'll write a letter to Xue Baochai first."

She picked up a pen and wrote down Nanny Gu's guess in the letter, and then asked about the hometown information that Xue Baochai used when she registered.

Thinking of the Xue family's money in the warehouse, she took out 20,000 taels of silver notes and wrote in the letter: "These silver notes are my bet on you. No matter if you become a popular person around the princess or are awarded the title of the head of a palace, there will always be a chance to repay me."

Daiyu folded the letter, thought for a while, and called Qinghe and Lanrui.

"You two, deliver this letter and the banknote to Xue Baochai, and be sure to get the reply letter before returning."

Qinghe took the letter and put it away, while Lanrui took the banknote. The two of them had a clear division of labor, and Daiyu nodded with satisfaction.

It was not yet nightfall and a light drizzle was falling outside.

Yingchun walked up to Daiyu and watched the rain with her, then she said without any context, "I'm going out tonight."

"What a coincidence, so am I."

The two smiled at each other, with a tacit understanding: "If you need anything, just ask."

As the melodious sound of the bamboo tube from the night watchman outside rang out, the two opened their eyes almost at the same time, sat up from the bed, and quickly changed into their night clothes.

Daiyu led the way in front, and Yingchun followed closely behind.

Before, every time Yingchun went out, Daiyu would cover for her, so no difference could be seen between the two.

But tonight, when the two of them acted together, Yingchun truly felt Daiyu's martial arts. She was much better than hers and could easily bypass the guards in the yard as if she was walking in an empty space.

Yingchun did not dare to slack off at all and followed Daiyu's steps with full concentration, otherwise if she made any mistake, she would be discovered by the guards.

She doesn't want to be a burden!

The two separated in the back street. Daiyu watched Yingchun walk to the corner of Ningguo Mansion, get on a carriage, and then she ran west by herself.

It was a dark rainy night, the dark clouds in the sky showed no sign of dispersing, and the moon was so obscured that not a single ray of light could shine through.

Daiyu could only rely on the system's internal scans to determine the direction. She shook off the rain and became increasingly dissatisfied with 111.

[Look at this low-level robe. Although the style cannot be changed as you wish, it is very cost-effective!

Look at that interstellar close-fitting armor you recommended before, and you want a thousand of my points, why don’t you go and grab it! Even if you’re cutting leeks, you’re not as good as you, just say so if you want my points. 】

111 Daiyu was furious and helpless in her mind: Do you dare to lift the ban on me?

Daiyu was enjoying the feeling of control with great pride. She knew, of course, that 111 had been silenced by her, and she had done so on purpose.

She likes the feeling of "I'm talking back to you but you can't talk back."

The six ministries of this dynasty were located in the area between Zhengyangmen and Chengtianmen, on the right side of the central axis, facing the four military governorates of the center, left, right and front opposite, and behind them were the rear military governorate and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Daiyu followed the palace wall and soon saw Chengtian Gate and the main road in front of it that could accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages side by side.

As she turned into the street behind the Ministry of Household Affairs, pleasant reminder sounds kept coming into her mind.

111 was looking at the long row of purple task prompts on his system panel, and he was extremely anxious.
