The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 21 If there is any abnormality, kill without mercy
Although Xiao Lan also has spies watching Baihua Tower, Ruan Ning is dealing with people inside. If there is any trouble, she might know better.

Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. This person really cherished his words like gold. If he had anything to say, he could just say it directly. She thought he was asking her for money.

She patted her chest and said, "No problem. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will tell you as soon as possible if there is anything unusual about people and things in Baihua Tower."

Xiao Lan waved his hand speechlessly: "Let's go."

When Ruan Ning went out, he passed by other cells and saw a few people dressed as guards covering their mouths and noses while carrying prisoners out. They said something to each other.

"This man's death seems strange. Could it be the plague?"

"Bah! Don't talk nonsense, bury it quickly, be careful of causing trouble."

Ruan Ning originally didn't want to look at the corpse. Plague, wasn't it just an infectious disease? It was too scary.

But the road was so narrow, it was inevitable that they would encounter each other on the narrow road. She held her breath and walked forward. Just as she was passing the person, she caught a glimpse of the small black sign on the person's waist from the corner of her eye, and her eyes lit up.

Ruan Ning suppressed the excitement in her heart and said bravely: "This...don't you want everything on this person?"

After the words fell, those people raised their eyes and looked over, as if they were looking at fools.

"You didn't see the state of his death. How dare you want the things on his body?"

Ruan Ning didn't dare, she was afraid of death, but the virus wouldn't stay on the items for long, and they would just need to be disinfected.

Thinking of this, she endured her fear, took out her handkerchief, quickly pulled off the sign, and ran away.

After she went out, the guards who had spoken before suddenly became serious. One of them walked directly to the room where Xiao Lan was and reported, "Your Majesty, that person took the sign and ran away."

Xiao Lan nodded slightly: "I know."

How could a person like him be persuaded by Ruan Ning's few words? When Pingjin Hou died, that sign appeared nearby, and it must be related to the murderer.

Since Ruan Ning took away the sign, it means that she is not so innocent.

Xiao Lan called Ling Xiao and ordered: "Continue to follow and see what clues can be found. If there is any abnormality, kill him without mercy."

Ling Xiao: "Yes."

*
Ruan Ning took the sign and went home, disinfected herself with alcohol, and then couldn't wait to get a bottle of vinegar to clean the sign. After she finished the hard work, she looked at the shining golden sign with a big smile on her lips.

This is pure gold, isn't it? How much silver is it worth? You don't have to worry about the start-up capital for opening a store.

*
That night.

When Ling Xiao watched Ruan Ning sneak into the pawn shop, and then came out happily holding the banknotes, his whole body was messy in the wind. Following her for so long was really a waste of time.

*
A few days later, Pei Jing went to the Third Law Department to find Xiao Lan and said straight to the point: "The Jinyiwei has closed the case regarding the death of the third prince."

Xiao Lan raised her eyes to look at him, her thin lips slightly parted: "A scapegoat?"

Pei Jing raised his eyebrows: "That goes without saying."

The queen worked hard to transfer Xiao Lan to the capital, but it was really difficult to work in a place where she was unfamiliar with the place and under the prince's feet. She was under control everywhere.

When the atmosphere was stagnant, Pei Jing changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how is Ruan Ning? Is she still alive?"

Xiao Lan almost laughed angrily when he mentioned Ruan Ning. He told what happened that day.

Pei Jing wondered: "She took the token away? Is it really a meticulous work?" Xiao Lan shook her head and said in a bad tone: "She took the token to the pawn shop to exchange for a silver note."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jing was stunned for two seconds, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, she really doesn't know the weight of this token. Why, after this, you still have doubts?"

Xiao Lan picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Such a stupid person has his thoughts written all over his face."

This means no more doubts.

Pei Jing sighed: "I said you have such a temper, you really don't have any sympathy for her. You test her again and again."

"By the way, the store she is working on will open next month. I heard that the battle is quite big. If you ask me, this Miss Ruan is really a wonderful person. Who among the noble ladies in the capital is not diligent enough to learn etiquette? Earn a good reputation by yourself, try to marry a rich man, who can be so troublesome like her?"

Xiao Lan looked at her favorably at this point: "After all, not all girls want to get married."

Pei Jing: "Yes, I almost forgot that your sister is also an unconventional person."

"By the way, Ruan Ning has made the new store so mysterious, and it's really tempting. Let's go and see it together then?"

Xiao Lan said nonchalantly: "I don't have enough time."

Pei Jing curled his lips and said, "Okay, you can just hold the file and die alone until you grow old. Don't wait until you live half a century, and you won't even be able to get a wife."

*
Although Ruan Ning promised Xiao Lan to help him keep an eye on it, she was not a detective, so she didn't know anything about that. Moreover, the store needed to be renovated and the staff needed to be trained. She was almost too busy to keep her feet on the ground and had no time to take care of it.

Time passes day by day, and the opening of Heaven and Earth is about to begin. The exterior decoration is beginning to take shape, and the novel decoration style attracts many people to come here.

Ruan Ning sent people to distribute leaflets in the streets and alleys of the capital, and the effect of building momentum was quite great.

However, the big tree attracts the wind, and she is manipulating all this behind the scenes. She thinks she is doing it secretly, but it cannot stop interested people from investigating.

Just three days before the opening, when everything was ready, Shaoyao suddenly found her.

"Shopkeeper, we have submitted the application for approval to open a store three times. Each time, we were told it was unqualified. This time we got a call back."

Ruan Ning didn't take the matter of approval seriously at first, but after calling her back one after another, it became clear that there was something fishy going on here. She suppressed her uneasiness and asked, "What's the reason this time?"

Shaoyao sighed and said, "Say...said the font size is inappropriate."

Ruan Ning took a deep breath and slowly spit out a plant: "Grass, they did it on purpose."

The last time she submitted it, the yamen kept pressing it for several days. She thought she could get through it, but she didn't expect that they would give her such trouble on the eve of the opening, and she didn't know who was against her.

Anyway, whoever is able to collude with the Yamen must have some connections, unlike her!
It's definitely not possible to ask your parents for help. The rich and powerful family pays the most attention to etiquette. The ladies are out doing business. Don't ask for help. They will probably close the shop directly.

The original owner didn't have a good relationship. She only focused on the third prince and didn't know any good friends. Although the eldest brother was kind to her, he was always working in the field. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid that distant water can't satisfy the near thirst.

Ruan Ning thought hard, and a figure gradually appeared in his mind.

That man was powerful, but he didn't know if he was willing to help her.

Think about this.

Ruan Ning walked to the drug store opposite Baihua Building, found the person who was monitoring her and said, "Brother, can you take me to see your prince?"
