Unexpectedly, the young eunuch came back and met Pan Lunchi with trepidation, and told him that Gu's fried chicken shop was temporarily closed.

  "Closed? But did you say when it will reopen?" Pan Lunchi asked quickly.

  "No." The young eunuch shook his head and told the shopkeeper what he had said.

  Pan Lunchi was puzzled. He hadn't heard that Li Mumu had come up with any good ideas that would benefit the country and the people recently.

  What is Li Mumu busy with?

  Assign some of the guys to help, and assign the rest to train the guys in the new store?

  Pan Lunchi was a shrewd man who had been in the palace for decades, and he always felt that this reason was not sufficient.

  After sending his little disciple away, Pan Lunchi lowered his head, bent his waist and walked into the imperial study. He quietly came to the side of the saint and told him what had happened in a low voice.

  "Closed?" The Saint was surprised, "Then my fried chicken..."

  The saint's first reaction is regret. If he had known earlier, he should have bought it yesterday or even the day before yesterday. Why did he have to wait until today?

  Moreover, he had wanted to eat it a few days ago, but he didn't want to be controlled by his appetite, so he endured it until today and asked someone to buy it.

  If he had known this earlier, he would not have endured it!

  This is great. It was originally only necessary to endure for a few days, but now it has become necessary to endure for several months.

  Then, the saint remembered to ask the reason, "Why did you close the store suddenly? Did you say before that you would close the store today? Isn't their business very good? It shouldn't be that the store is closed because of business failure."

  Pan Lunchi then told the saint what his disciple had just said to him.

  What Pan Lunchi is most afraid of now is that the sage will call Yao Xingcai over to question him.

  Yao Xing was the one given to him by the saint.

  If Yao Xingcai was really called over for questioning, he would have no choice but to speak.

  But if you say it, you are betraying your Lord.

  In short, you can't please either side.

  Pan Lun sincerely said that instead of letting the saint speak, it would be better for him to find a way to block Yao Xingcai first, so he said: "Saint, do you want to ask Yao Xingcai to come over for questioning?"

  "Although you gave him to the Gu family, even the Gu family cannot surpass you." Pan Lunchi said with his head down.

  "Alright, I know you are worried about your disciple." The saint said, "Since he has been given to the Gu family, the Gu family is his master. I will not ask him to come here to embarrass him."

  "Besides, since you have said that no one can get past me, I will just call Li over directly.

  Yes, can she still deceive the emperor?" said the saint.

  Pan Lunchi sighed. He could block it for Yao Xingcai, but he couldn't block it for Li Mumu.

  Thinking that Li Mumu was very polite to him, although they had not had much contact, Pan Lunchi had a very good impression of Li Mumu.

  Otherwise, he would not be willing to let Yao Xingcai go to the Gu Mansion, all because he was optimistic about Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.

  There are many things he can help with, and he is happy to help.

  But this matter is really not something he can help with.

  He could guess that Li Mumu might have left for Gu Shangqing, so how could a saint not guess it?

  So, when the saint called Li Mumu over, he couldn't stop him at all.

  "Go, call Li over here," said the saint.

  "Yes." Pan Lunchi left and called his apprentice who had just returned empty-handed from buying fried chicken, and whispered, "Go to Gu's residence to pick up Madam Gu San and bring her into the palace."

  "Also, tell her that the saint wants to eat fried chicken today, but unfortunately the store is closed." Pan Lunchidao, Li Mumu is so smart, just this sentence is enough.

  Li Mumu will know what to do.

  "Yes." The young apprentice nodded in response.

  "Also, tell Madam Gu that the Saint wants to know why she closed the store." Pan Lunchi said, "Tell her that the Saint already knows the explanation of the owner of the fried chicken shop."

  But the saint still wanted to know why Li Mumu closed the shop, because it was obvious that the saint did not believe the explanation of the fried chicken shop owner.

  Pan Lunchi asked his disciple to say this, and Li Mumu would understand.

  "Yes." The young apprentice nodded.

  Pan Lunchi thought about it and didn't have anything else to say, so he asked his little disciple to go to Gu's house quickly.

  The palace sent a eunuch, and the Gu family was very nervous. Gu's mother hurriedly invited the young eunuch to come into the hall and sit down.

  The young eunuch respectfully declined, "Thank you for your kindness, old lady, but the saint is still waiting, and I dare not delay."

  Li Mumu said calmly: "Then let's go."

  "Madam Gu," the young eunuch said to Madam Gu, "Before I left, Eunuch Pan specifically told me and Madam that the Saint wanted to eat fried chicken today, and he sent me to buy some. But when I got there, I found that the fried chicken shop was temporarily closed starting today."

  Li Mumu understood immediately. The eunuch said, "I also listened to the shopkeeper's explanation there. I will go back and tell Eunuch Pan the truth.

  The father-in-law reported it to the Saint again. The Saint summoned Madam Gu because he wanted to ask her why she suddenly closed the store.

  When Li Mumu heard the two things the young eunuch said, she understood why the saint wanted her to enter the palace.

  Pan Lunchi really helped a lot.

  Li Mumu remembered Pan Lunchi's kindness and said, "Thank you, eunuch. Let's go immediately."

  "Madam Gu, don't you need to prepare?" The young eunuch was stunned.

  Pan Lunchi asked him to tell Li Mumu these things, especially to let Li Mumu know that the Saint wanted to eat fried chicken. It was obvious that he wanted Li Mumu to fry some fried chicken at home and bring it into the palace.

  Satisfying the saint's cravings first can also put him in a good mood.

  As for what happened next, if the saint is happy, he might pursue it further.

  Li Mumu smiled and said, "I know what Eunuch Pan meant, but if I really prepared fried chicken and brought it into the palace, wouldn't it be confirmed that Eunuch Pan and you told me this in advance?"

  "The Saint has not said whether you can say these words or not. But what if the Saint does not want you to say them? Wouldn't I have harmed you two?" Li Mumu said, "Maybe I'm lucky and the Saint will not pursue it, but no matter what, Eunuch Pan has such good intentions towards me, so I can't implicate Eunuch Pan."

  "I can only pretend to know nothing and go into the palace." Li Mumu said, "But at least I know why the saint asked me to enter the palace."

  Li Mumu bowed to the young eunuch and said, "Thank you, eunuch."

  The young eunuch quickly dodged and said, "No, no, how dare I accept your courtesy, Madam?"

  No wonder the master helped Madam Gu so much.

  Madam Gu was so respectful to a little eunuch like him, let alone to Eunuch Pan.

  So, Gu's mother asked someone to harness the carriage, and Li Mumu followed the young eunuch to the palace.

  When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, Pan Lunchi saw Li Mumu and hurried to greet her, but he didn't see Li Mumu holding anything in her hands, nor could he smell the aroma of fried chicken.

  The last time the third prince brought fried chicken, he smelled the rich aroma as soon as he approached.

  "Mrs. Gu..." Pan Lunchi called out in confusion.

  Li Mumu is so smart, she should be able to understand his hints.

  Li Mumu bowed deeply to Pan Lunchi.

  Pan Lunchi quickly dodged and said, "Madam Gu, you are embarrassing me."
