Shu Yu listened from the side, feeling incredibly guilty—damn, a single mirror had actually attracted so many people to the black market in Jiangyuan County.
If they found out she was the one selling the mirrors, wouldn't they tear her apart alive?
No, she had to stay low-key.
Shivering, Shu Yu clutched her disguise tightly. Absolutely, she couldn't let this slip!
Hu Li didn't notice her nervous expression. As they walked, he said, "The Fifth Prince's instructions are also for Lord Jiang not to get involved for now. The situation in the capital is tense, and one wrong move could ruin everything. This is a critical moment. So regarding the black market, Lord Jiang only occasionally has someone check in under some pretext. Months have passed, and the watch isn't as strict as it was before."
From what Monarch Lu Xiang mentioned, they had hiked partway up the mountain yesterday. In the past, they'd be stopped at the foot.
