Chapter 408 The most dangerous place is the safest place
After lunch, of the four maids around Mu Qingqing, except Dongju who had to stay in the welfare lottery shop, the other two, Xiahe and Qiushuang, who ran fresh seasonal vegetables, all returned to the palace.
The three of them divided the work among themselves, Xia He and Qiu Shuang recorded the comings and goings of the gift packages, and Chunxiang recorded the information of the people who received the gift packages.
The two brothers Zuo San and Zuo Si led Ye Feng to maintain order at the scene.
Mu Qingqing, who was sitting aside leisurely drinking coffee, was almost having a nervous breakdown because of Butler Chi's nagging.
Mu Qingqing suddenly shouted at Butler Chi: "Butler Chi! The brothers have worked diligently for the palace this year, risking their lives. I sympathize with them and give them some benefits. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
Beep, beep, beep! If you keep beeping, the sun will set!
Butler Chi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He lowered his head and spoke in an octave lower voice: "Princess, there are so many subordinates in the palace. I am afraid that you will go bankrupt..."
Mu Qingqing raised the fragrant coffee cup with a gentle smile on her face: "Butler Chi, you don't have to worry about this for me. These are just some New Year gift packages, this is nothing!"
It’s just a few gold ingots in total!
Speaking of gold ingots, Mu Qingqing thought of the bet she placed in the gambling house.
Mu Qingqing immediately connected to Ali Jiujiu: Xiaojiu Xiaojiu, is mother with you?
Ali Jiujiu's soft voice immediately replied: Host, mother is drinking afternoon tea over there! What do you want to tell mother?
Mu Qingqing: Xiaojiu, can you please ask mother for me if the stakes placed in the gambling house have been returned as agreed?
That’s a full one million taels of gold!
How many New Year gift packages can I buy? I can’t even imagine it!
After a while, Ali Jiujiu's soft voice came back: Host, mother said that the 10 million taels of gold have been taken back and placed in the small warehouse in your yard, waiting for you to take it when you are free, so that there will be space for other items.
You know, the wooden boxes containing 10 million taels of gold alone could fill up several warehouses.
Fortunately, when Qin Yao was building Mu Qingqing's yard, she took into consideration that she would give Mu Qingqing good things from time to time, so she built several more spare warehouses.
Wouldn’t this come in handy!
Ten million taels of gold filled the empty warehouse in Mu Qingqing's yard.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but smile, "Oh yeah! Long live mother! Hahaha!"
"Qingqing, what makes you so happy?"
Ye Nanli, who had rushed over immediately after finishing his work in the study, saw the bright and beautiful smile on Mu Qingqing's face and asked lovingly.
Mu Qingqing took out a cup of steaming cappuccino milk tea from her sleeve and stuffed it directly into Ye Nanli's hand.
It’s really strange, whether it’s Emperor Tai’an or Ye Nanli, they all like this!
I really don't know why the men of this era all like sweet and spicy food!
Mu Qingqing took a sip of black coffee and said leisurely, "Ah Li, the two major gambling houses in the capital are the bankers before my marriage, betting that I will die before my marriage! I asked my mother to place 500,000 taels of gold in each gambling house. I am alive and well now. According to the agreement, the gambling house must pay 10 million taels of gold to my mother. My mother put all the 10 million taels of gold in my yard. When you go back to distribute the New Year gift packages to the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, you can collect all the gold by the way."
The only way to be safe is to store all the gold in the system space.
Ye Nanli put down the cup in his hand, held Mu Qingqing's left hand with both hands, and looked at Mu Qingqing with sweet eyes, "Qingqing, your husband also bought 500,000 taels of gold each at that time. Look, 10 million taels of gold were just picked up two days ago, do you want to collect it?"
Mu Qingqing was so excited by the 10 million taels that her eyes sparkled. She stood up suddenly and said, "Ari, let's go! Take me to see the mountain of gold made of 10 million taels of gold!"
Ye Nanli took a long step forward, clasped Mu Qingqing's left hand with his slender and strong right hand, and took her to a remote courtyard in the palace.
Mu Qingqing looked at the deserted and desolate huge courtyard in front of her and asked uncertainly: "Ari, are you sure you want to put all 10 million taels of gold in there?"
There isn't even a guard here, aren't you afraid that the 10 million taels of gold will be stolen?! Ah Li is so careless!
Ye Nanli pushed open the courtyard door covered with spider webs with his left hand. With a distant "creak" sound, the courtyard gate was opened.
The yard was large and looked neatly laid out, orderly, and with many rooms. However, with so many rooms, the doors and window panes were covered with spider webs.
"Qingqing, the most dangerous place is often the safest place! Who would have thought that I would hide 10 million taels of gold in this place?"
Ye Nanli pointed at the spider web that he saw, and his tone was proud and a little arrogant.
Mu Qingqing nodded in agreement: "This logic is valid!"
Mu Qingqing looked carefully at the thick layer of dust on the ground, and there was not even a footprint.
"Ari, didn't you say that you just moved the gold in two days ago? How come there is no trace left here?"
Ye Nanli pinched Mu Qingqing's delicate little hand with his broad palm, and said proudly: "Qingqing, isn't this what you taught me before! When going on a mission, the follow-up cleanup work is the most important! You must be cautious and rigorous, and don't leave any clues for the enemy!"
Mu Qingqing pulled out her little hand, gently punched Ye Nanli's chest with her little fist, and praised generously: "Not bad! Ah Li, you know how to put your knowledge into practice!"
Mu Qingqing almost slipped up and called him brother, but fortunately she changed the address at the critical moment.
Ye Nanli's earlobes turned pink from the compliment, and he walked straight towards the inconspicuous room with Mu Qingqing.
The door is not locked yet!
With just a gentle push, the door opened with a creak.
Mu Qingqing felt that Ye Nanli's current actions were like a big-money gamble, where both parties were testing their mental endurance.
It seems that Ye Nanli is also a senior gambler! No wonder he was able to win 10 million taels of gold!
Hehe! She is a perfect match for me! Mu Qingqing thought to herself in a dirty way.
That night, Nanli brought Mu Qingqing into the empty room and quickly closed the door.
This made Mu Qingqing's heart suddenly tense up and she felt a little nervous for some reason.
Why does this feel like having an affair with a third party?
Ye Nanli held Mu Qingqing's little hand and walked to the end, then slapped the blank wall three times in a row.
After three palms, the blank wall began to crack from the middle, revealing a space only big enough for two people's bodies.
Mu Qingqing's obsidian eyes sparkled, and she bumped her arm against Ye Nanli's. "Ah Li, this mechanism is really well installed! Even a seasoned locksmith like me would bow down to it!"
If it weren't for the metal detector, Mu Qingqing would never have imagined that such a huge amount of money would be placed under such an empty room.
Ye Nanli's palms were sweating slightly as he held Mu Qingqing's hand: if Qingqing looked at him with such admiring eyes again, his heart would almost jump out of his chest uncontrollably.
"Wow! This is so cool!"
In the dark room underground, illuminated by small solar light bulbs, piles of wooden boxes are neatly stacked.
