Chapter 963: Shu Yu Holds Her Vest Tightly
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.
Shu Yu understood now. This was a rare opportunity—if they missed it, who knew if there’d still be clues to find after so much time passed?
What she needed to worry about now was her disguise being exposed. In the future, she might... best not get involved again. If she accidentally slipped up, she wouldn’t even know how she ended up dead.
She had originally intended to follow Hu Li into the bamboo forest, but now she’d completely abandoned that thought.
