How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"Aren't you afraid that I might run away?"

"Can you outrun her?"

Xu Chengling pointed at Tongxin who was beside her. Tongxin's lightness skill was much better than hers.

Mo Li thought about it and felt that she really couldn’t outrun him. She was a big thief and it was not shameful for her to be unable to outrun the gold medal killer.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh and asked:

"Well, what do you want? I've already returned everything I stole to you. If you really want to hand me over to the government, you don't have to talk to me so much. I guess you're still interested in my body."

Mo Li covered her body with her hands as she spoke. The tight nightgown she wore perfectly outlined the girl's curvaceous figure.

You know what, it does have some substance.

Xu Chengling looked at her speechlessly. This child still had some brains, but only a little.

With Tongxin here, he is not afraid that the other party will run away.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in entering the Xiangguo Mansion?"

"Humph, why should I tell you? You can kill me or chop me up as you like. I won't say a word."

Mo Li snorted coldly, looking like he would rather die than surrender.

"Tong'er, do it."

Xu Chengling shouted, Tongxin walked over and twisted the other person's wrist behind his back.

"Ahhh, my hand is going to break, it's going to break! Woohoo, is that not enough? I said it, I said everything!"

Mo Li's arm hurt so much that it felt like it was about to break, and she quickly slapped the ground with her other hand and begged for mercy.

"Tong'er, that's enough."

Xu Chengling said calmly, Tongxin nodded, and relaxed a little.

He finally understood that the mouth of this female thief was the hardest part of her body.

Under Xu Chengling's coercion without any inducement, Mo Li confessed everything and explained all his deeds of robbing the rich to help the poor.

In fact, he had heard of this story. It was said that there was a chivalrous thief in the capital who specialized in stealing money from wealthy families and using the money to help the poor people.

Xu Chengling admired those chivalrous thieves who robbed the rich to help the poor, and felt that they possessed the righteousness of chivalry.

But stealing is illegal, and if you are caught, the consequences will usually be terrible.

"Let her go."

Xu Chengling turned around and said to Tongxin.

"Ah, you're just going to let me go like this?"

Mo Li thought she had heard it wrong. No matter what the situation was, she had prepared for the worst.

So they let her go? Let her go? ! !

"If you really have nowhere to go, you can come to the Xiangguo Mansion and be a maid or something. At least you can be guaranteed food and accommodation."

Mo Li was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked into the darkness. Her parting voice slowly came from the distance.

"Even if I starve to death or die outside, I will never be a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Haha, you’re pretty stubborn.

"Master, are you just going to let her go like this?"

Looking at the female thief who had already left, Tongxin asked with some confusion.

"Well, she didn't do anything harmful, and isn't she your companion?"

"All colleagues are enemies, and sometimes colleagues are the most ruthless."

Tong Xin said lightly.

"Don't worry, she won't tell anyone about it. She does things that are not allowed to be seen in public. Have you ever seen a thief who wants to report to the police?"

"Yes, my lord is right."

"Let her go. Maybe we can meet again in the future."

Xu Chengling said that the other person might be Tongxin's only companion in the world, and at least they had some common language.

If even she was gone, how lonely Tongxin would be in this world.

……

Mo Li escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion. She turned around to make sure no one followed her.

In the night, she walked on the bluestone road.

The night streets of the capital are still as quiet as ever, like a devil that lures loneliness.

"I'm so hungry. Today is another day where I don't have enough food to eat."

Mo Li touched his shriveled belly with his little hand and tightened the belt around his waist.

It might sound funny to say it out loud, but she, a famous thief, couldn't even have enough food to eat.

She is an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was taken in by a mysterious organization.

But she didn't dare to kill even a chicken since she was a child, and the organization didn't want her and drove her out.

But it was also because of this that she was able to keep her life when the imperial court destroyed the organization.

Now that she saw her former companion was still alive, she was very happy, and it seemed that the other party had found a good master and was living a good life.

In comparison, my own situation was more miserable. I couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing, and all the stolen money was used to help the poor.

From the moment he decided to become a great thief, Mo Li set a rule for himself that he would never spend a single cent of the ill-gotten gains he stole.

She is a thief, but she is a chivalrous thief who robs the rich to help the poor. If she spends her ill-gotten gains, then what is the difference between her and those big thieves?

She would be very happy if she could have a bowl of plain noodles tomorrow.

However, even if she starved to death or died outside, she would never work as a maid in the house of a treacherous official.

I'm almost home, and there seems to be a fire ahead. What happened?

Mo Li stopped and saw that her home, a small nest built with thatch, was surrounded by soldiers, led by a constable wearing a fox mask.

Well, now she can’t go back home even if she has one.

At this moment, Miss Fox turned around and their eyes met.

Then, there was another thrilling chase.

Until finally, her figure disappeared again in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A black shadow fell from the sky. Mo Li looked up at the man in front of him. The two of them stared at each other. You looked at me and I looked at you.

There was a very awkward atmosphere in the air.

"Are you still short of maids? Just provide food and shelter."

Chapter 22: Envoys from the Western Regions

My name is Mo Li. I’m a rare thief. Legends about me are circulating everywhere in the world.

But now, her name is A Li, and she is a little maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with the number 9527.

My daily work is to sweep the floor and serve the master and the mistress. I have food and shelter, so I live a relatively comfortable life.

Great thieves are at home everywhere. She is just hiding here temporarily, and it is definitely not because she has nowhere else to go.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. She decided to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion first to find out the evidence of the traitor's crimes and get rid of this harm to the people.

The first goal was to move from an ordinary maid to a personal maid, but it was not because the personal maid had a higher income. That's right, she did this just to get close to the rebels.

It is said that above the personal maid, there is also a maid who is the concubine of the emperor, and her income seems to be even higher...

Until one day, Mo Li discovered that everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. There was a top killer from his former organization, his wife was the younger sister of the current emperor, and even the coachman was an old swordsman who had retired for many years.

And the young man she met last time was even more important. He was actually the current prime minister who succeeded to the throne.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is simply a den of dragons and tigers. She is just a small-time bandit, so why would she hang out with this group of big guys?

Weak, helpless, and wanting to run away with the bucket.

"Hey there, stop being in a daze and clean the floor properly, or I'll deduct your salary."

"Ah, yes, yes."

……

Early in the morning, the sun rises.

"His Majesty."

In a luxurious bedroom, a confidant dressed in blue stood beside the bed and called out respectfully.

The woman on the bed was wearing a thin nightgown, her hair was messy, her limbs were hugging a pillow like an octopus, and her long white legs were exposed. Her sleeping posture was not very elegant.

"Xue Yuan, what time is it?"

Yan Qiaoling rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched like a kitten.

"Your Majesty, it's six o'clock."

"It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer."

"Your Majesty, please wake up. You have to attend the morning court today. The court officials have already arrived."

"If you don't want to go, let them go. These bastards are just here to slack off anyway."

Yan Qiaoling turned over and went back to sleep.

Has the Taicang silver embezzlement been investigated? Recently, several authentic works were lost from the Imperial Study, and the thief has not been found yet.

She finally understood that these bastards were taking their salaries but not doing their jobs, and would just argue every day.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister will also be here at the morning court today."

"Hurry up and get ready. I have to go to court today!"

Yan Qiaoling suddenly jumped up from the bed, her whole body suddenly filled with energy.

"Yes."

Xue Yuan nodded and left. The maids came in and helped His Majesty tidy up his appearance and prepare for the morning court.

……

In the Dayan Dynasty, a court meeting was held every month, and all officials were required to be present on that day.

Some officials who lived far away from the capital had to wake up early on this day and set off for the palace before dawn.

This day is very important, and all civil and military officials must be present to discuss with the emperor the future national policy of Dayan.

It was six o'clock, and in the majestic palace, civil and military officials lined up on each side.

The prime minister, headed by the civil officials, stood on the right steps closest to the dragon throne, and the generals, headed by the military officials, stood on the left steps, waiting for the emperor to arrive in person.

Seeing that the emperor had not arrived yet, the civil and military officials below began to whisper and talk among themselves.

There are a few new faces at today's court meeting.

One is that the Prime Minister, the Duke of Guo, among the civil servants, has been replaced by a new person. This young face seems a bit out of place among the old civil servants.

It is said that the old prime minister was becoming increasingly ill and could no longer attend court, so his adopted son, the new prime minister, had to take his place.

In addition, there were two envoys from the Western Regions, one male and one female. The male had a strong build and the female had a graceful figure.

I can only say that she is worthy of being a woman from the Western Regions, with a waist as slender as a water snake, long dark eyebrows, and a pair of golden eyes that seem to be able to capture people's hearts.

Compared with the gentle and dignified women of Dayan, the women of the Western Regions appear to be more charming and enchanting, and can arouse men's most primitive desires.

Everyone in the court could not help but stare in amazement, but it was a pity that the Western woman was wearing a purple veil and her appearance could not be seen clearly.

A bunch of perverts who can't take their eyes off Western women. Xu Chengling feels very disgusted by their behavior.

What's so good about women from the Western Regions? They just have bigger breasts and a perkier butt. Xu Chengling slowly moved his gaze away from the Western Regions woman with a look of contempt.

As soon as he arrived at the court today, a large number of civil and military officials came to him and expressed their desire to win him over.
