Chapter 236 What are you afraid of?
"If my guess is correct, these will be tomorrow's entries. Ms. Li, I called you here just to tell you that no matter what, you can't lose to the Japanese!"
"Please rest assured about this. I am confident that their skills are not that impressive. I believe that our silk cloth will astound everyone once it is unveiled. I would like to ask what the rules of tomorrow's competition are?"
"I don't know the rules of the game either. Only the Regent knows."
What, Regent?
It’s that mysterious man again!
Li Qingwan took a deep breath and asked, "Will the Japanese obey?"
"They also brought their master to be the judge, so it must be fair and just, don't worry about that!"
"As long as it's fair, thank you for telling me this. I will be careful."
"It's understandable that these Japanese people like our things and spend money to buy them, but I didn't expect that they would even want to steal them?"
"I'm afraid the owner doesn't understand the Japanese. I've heard that they are selfish by nature and want to take all the good things for themselves!"
"If that's the case, then it's not surprising. Unfortunately, a thief is a thief!"
"Excuse me, is the Regent in the palace?"
"You want to see him?"
Li Qingwan didn't know why she asked this question. She wanted to meet the Regent, and naturally, she also wanted to find out any clues between him and Mu Shenyin!
"The competition will start tomorrow, and I want to ask the Regent if he has any instructions!"
Hearing this, Lou Yixiao immediately stood up and said, "I'll take you to the palace. The prince is in the palace."
"Is he here?"
At three o'clock in the morning, the moon is full!
When Lou Yixiao brought Li Qingwan to the imperial study, she saw many guards standing at the door, with shining knives in their hands, as if they would kill anyone immediately if anything went wrong.
"The prince is in the imperial study, but you have to ask the eunuch to inform you, otherwise he won't see you!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Lou Yixiao smiled and said, "You're welcome, Miss Li. I'm a little curious."
what?
Li Qingwan frowned in confusion, "What are you curious about?"
Lou Yixiao wanted to ask her if she had no doubt about the identity of the Regent, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. These were not things he should ask.
"Nothing, just go ahead!"
After Lou Yixiao left, Li Qingwan looked at Eunuch Li standing at the door with a complicated expression. She took a deep breath and bravely prepared to go over to ask for an audience with the Regent. In an instant, she was thinking of a way to confirm the relationship between him and Mu Shenyin.
"Greetings, Eunuch Li!"
When Eunuch Li saw that it was her who entered the palace, he was also shocked, "It's you, Madam, why are you here?"
"I would like to see the Regent, please inform me, sir."
"The prince is bathing, maybe..."
"Let her in!"
What, he was taking a shower and asked her to come in?
Li Qingwan was naturally a little nervous, but since the Regent had spoken, what else could she say? She could only bite the bullet and prepare to go in. After entering, she didn't dare to look up, for fear of getting into trouble if she saw the handsome man coming out of the bath.
"Miss Li, the prince is behind the screen, please come in!"
"Thank you very much!"
After Li Qingwan entered the imperial study, she realized how big it was. She knew that this was where the emperor reviewed memorials, but because the emperor was young, these things were done by the regent who controlled the government. The regent actually took a bath in the study. How casual!
"Come in!"
A lazy voice came from the inner room, which made her a little nervous, but after being nervous, she still prepared to go forward. When she walked into the inner room, sure enough, there was a large bathtub not far away, and the man was soaking in the lingering bathtub with his bare chest.
What’s even more bizarre is that there isn’t a single maid serving here!
This made her want to turn around and run away immediately. It was too scary.
"Stop, didn't you want to see me? Why, you're here and you want to run away?"
Li Qingwan immediately knelt down, not daring to raise her head, "Your Highness, please calm down. I have no intention of offending you!"
As soon as she said this, she fell silent. Just when she boldly raised her eyes to see what was going on, suddenly, the Regent appeared in front of her. He was already dressed, and still had the bronze mask on his face, so her true appearance could not be seen!
"Your Majesty!"
She immediately bowed to him, not daring to breathe, and Mu Shenyin just looked down at her kneeling at his feet. At this moment, he suddenly laughed.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
She stood up and moved very close to him, and at this moment, she smelled that familiar scent again, exactly the same as the scent on Mu Shenying!
This made her want to test him again, and she wanted to find a way to see his appearance under the mask. Mu Shenyin naturally knew what she was thinking. She could hear her inner voice, so how could she not know what she wanted to do?
"Miss Li, do you have something to ask me?"
Sensing that she was about to approach him, Mu Shenyin knew that now was not the right time, so he immediately walked outside. As he walked, the smell emanating from his body became stronger, which made her gasp.
No matter what, tonight we must find out whether they are the same person!
"Your Majesty, the competition will start tomorrow!"
Hearing her words, Mu Shenyin slowly turned around and looked at her, then waved at her, "Come here!"
His words were very gentle, just like speaking to a beloved one, and this gave Li Qingwan the illusion for a moment that this man was Mu Shenyin, because only Mu Shenyin would treat her so gently.
At this moment, she felt mixed emotions and walked towards him. Finally, she stopped when she was beside him, "Your Majesty!"
"I wonder if you are ready for tomorrow's competition. What silk fabrics will you use?"
Seeing him asking her, Li Qingwan was neither anxious nor impatient. She raised her eyes and looked at him. At this moment, she found that his eyes were really like Mu Shenyin, because the way he looked at her was exactly the same as the current regent.
The same scent, the same height, the same temperament, and the same eyes...
They all seemed to be saying that she knew the man in front of her. Not only did she know him, but she also knew him well!
"Why are you looking at me? Answer my question!"
Mu Shenyin was worried that she would recognize him, so he immediately turned around and walked towards the window. His heartbeat was also accelerating because he was afraid that she would recognize him.
This was not in his plan, at least, he had to wait until tomorrow!
Seeing that he was deliberately avoiding her, Li Qingwan had more suspicions in her mind. She boldly walked behind him, took a few deep breaths, and mustered up the courage to ask him, "Does the prince know a silk merchant named Mu Shenyin?"
"Mu Shenying?"
