Chapter 126: No more errands for Chi Lian.
Given where the two men had been the previous night and who had been arrested, she had a clue of what they were about to say and she raised her hand.
"No."
"But we haven’t said anything yet." Ringo mumbled gruffly.
Chi Lian put her arms on her desk and leaned forward. "And I hope that you will not say it. Royal treasures were stolen, with Heng Yuan’s arrest the news will soon land in the right eats despite the emperor’s desire to keep a lid on it. Let me guess, he wants me to go out and find the lost treasures for him."
"I told you that she would say no." Mingzhe said, helping himself to the lemon drops casually."
"Which is why I am recording this so that the emperor does not assume we did not deliver his message." Ringo waved his phone in the air.
"Turn that thing off." Chi Lian told him.
Ringo did as told. "Sister-in-law, I apologize for not telling you about the recording beforehand. You can be sure that I was going to edit out anything unsavory that you said and only share with the emperor your rejection of his request.
He is my boss and Mingzhe’s boss, we may talk back to him and share our honest opinions with him but at the end of the day, he is the leader of the empire."
