Of course, Su Mingyu knew the reason. She wasn't a fool. "Can't I just have my men pretend to be businessmen transporting goods out of the city to take these things away?"
Moreover, there were still those who collected the swill.
It shouldn't be too much trouble to bribe a few swill collectors to help her transport the soil, right?
Seeing her so confident, Gu Ruobai slightly curled his thin lips. "Since that's the case, I originally planned to renovate my yard and help you transport the soil by the way. It seems someone doesn't need my help."
Huh? He was going to help her?
Su Mingyu quickly grinned and leaned forward. "It would be even better if I could get the help of Your Highness the Prince. But I can't always trouble you, can I?"
Knowing that this girl was being coy, Gu Ruobai hooked his lips into a smile. "Then I won't help."
"You've already said you'd help me. As a prince, how can you go back on your word?" Su Mingyu said as she moved closer to Gu Ruobai and stared directly at him with her bright eyes.
Looking down at her naughty and coquettish look, Gu Ruobai was in a great mood. "I've helped you another time. How will you thank me?"
Su Mingyu was stunned. Why did she feel like she already owed him a lot of thanks?
"Um... Your Highness... I'm flat broke. What do you want?"
Gu Ruobai looked at her. "Hey, why does my leg feel so numb after sitting for so long?"
Su Mingyu immediately understood and went over to massage him. "Is it numb here?"
Gu Ruobai nodded. "Yes, right there."
Fortunately, Su Mingyu had learned a bit about this when she was undercover as a masseuse. She used gentle strength to press on the acupoints on Gu Ruobai's leg.
As she was massaging, she noticed that there seemed to be a scar on Gu Ruobai's leg.
Feeling Su Mingyu's hand lingering on his scar, Gu Ruobai took a sip of tea and said softly, "This is the wound that disabled my legs."
Su Mingyu was shocked. With such a large wound, this man not only survived but could also walk like a normal person. Even his leg skills remained unchanged. This man was really amazing.
Clearly seeing the admiration in Su Mingyu's eyes, Gu Ruobai chuckled. "At that time, I just thought that I couldn't let the person who harmed me live better than me. I gritted my teeth and got through it."
Su Mingyu understood this feeling. After all, she had been like this when she was a special agent on a mission.
She just held on with one breath; otherwise, she would have died many times over.
She pinched the huge scar and couldn't help but feel a bit more respect for Gu Ruobai. "Have you found the person who hurt you?"
Gu Ruobai nodded. "Sort of..."
That tone? Su Mingyu looked up at him. "You still haven't found a way to take him down, have you?"
Gu Ruobai hummed. "He has deep roots in the capital. It's not easy to move him."
Su Mingyu nodded half - understanding. "Let me massage your shoulders. It's a special bonus!"
Saying that, Su Mingyu stood up and started kneading Gu Ruobai's shoulders.
She didn't notice until she started massaging. His muscles were really hard. "Is this what they call 'thin in clothes, muscular in no clothes'?"
Gu Ruobai frowned. "What are you muttering about?"
Su Mingyu grinned. "It's a proverb from my place to describe people like you who look thin but are very strong."
Gu Ruobai squinted at her. "You can tell I have muscles just by massaging a bit?"
Su Mingyu proudly raised her head. "Of course."
After all, she had been a special agent in the 21st century and had a good eye for people.
As she was massaging, Su Mingyu remembered something. "You said yesterday that you were going to find someone to get close to the King of Yu?"
Gu Ruobai looked up at her, and the helplessness in his eyes was self - evident.
Su Mingyu lowered her head a bit awkwardly. "Um... if this will affect your plan, then forget it. I can handle it myself."
Without even thinking, Gu Ruobai denied her. "No."
Hey, this guy. Was he always this domineering?
Su Mingyu scratched her head. "You don't trust me?"
Gu Ruobai put his hand on the back of hers. His cold eyes were filled with a gloomy look. "He's not an easy person to deal with."
A warm sensation came from the back of her hand, as if it was going to burn her. Su Mingyu subconsciously withdrew her hand. "Fine, let's put this matter on hold for now. Can't I find someone myself?"
Hearing her tone, Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Are you worried about implicating me?"
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "After all... you're my backer now. If you fall, won't I fall too?"
"Tsk." Gu Ruobai clicked his tongue. "I think Miss Su doesn't need me at all. I'm just always over - worrying."
This sounded a bit like a complaint?
Seeing that it was getting late and Su Mingyu had already gotten what she wanted, she was about to go back.
Gu Ruobai called Mu Yi. "Let him see you off."
Su Mingyu quickly waved her hand. "It's just a short walk back. I'm not some delicate young lady. I don't need it."
Seeing that Gu Ruobai was still worried, Su Mingyu frowned. "Is there a clue about the severed head incident last time?"
Gu Ruobai nodded slightly. "Not really. By the time our people found those wandering martial artists, they had already been killed to cover up the evidence."
Who could it be that could cause such a big commotion in the capital without being discovered?
Su Mingyu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "Should I go back and try to get some information from Su Yueyue?"
Gu Ruobai's expression was cold. "Do you think she'll know anything?"
Both Su Mingyu and Gu Ruobai knew that Su Yueyue was obviously just a pawn.
"I'll go back first. If I'm late, Zhizhu will scold me again."
Su Mingyu left this sentence and ran away in a hurry, leaving Gu Ruobai both amused and exasperated.
It was just about finding someone to see her off. Why was she so panicked?
Although Su Mingyu had rushed back as fast as she could, Zhizhu still caught her when she got to the yard. "Miss! You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Mingyu quickly changed the subject. "Did Su Yueyue and Wang Manwen give you any trouble today?"
Zhizhu shook her head. "I've been staying in the yard as you told me. And the second miss seems to have been picked up by the King of Yu. He said he was going to take her boating on the lake."
Boating on the lake at night?
Su Mingyu clicked her tongue. "Fine, go and rest quickly. I'm tired after a long day and sleepy."
Then she turned around and went into the room, leaving Zhizhu a bit dazed. Hadn't she been about to say something?
Seeing Zhizhu's back leaving through the crack of the door, Su Mingyu changed into a night - suit and climbed out of the window.
After avoiding the patrolling guards and maids, Su Mingyu quietly came to Su Yueyue's room.
She pried open the window and climbed in. After seeing the decorations inside, Su Mingyu clicked her tongue.
