Chapter 1594: Go to the palace in 1593 Chapter 1594: Go to the palace in 1593 When the sound was played, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu could confirm that the man was not lying; he truly had recorded the sound of the flute, and quite completely at that, capturing both the previous and middle portions of the tune.

A friend of the man said, “What flute sound? Why do I only hear a vague noise? It seems like there’s a different sound, but how can you be so sure it’s a flute?”

The short-tempered man almost jumped up, “It’s true, that night I really heard a very loud noise, but I don’t know why it turned into a very soft sound after recording it.”

Tan Rou said, “I did hear a bit of flute sound in it, and it’s quite pleasant. By the way, I also study music, and I’d like to keep this sound for research. Would it be convenient for you to transfer it to me?”

The man was very willing to comply with the request from a beautiful woman, saying directly, “Sure, I’ll transfer the sound to you right now.”

Tan Rou did not add his contact information, as they were strangers and adding contact information could be dangerous. They used a direct file transfer. Soon, the audio from the man’s phone was transferred to Tan Rou’s phone.

Tan Rou said very generously, “To express my gratitude, I’ll cover all your expenses here today. Order whatever you like; don’t worry about saving money for me.”

“Is there such good luck?” the man’s companion asked. “Then I’ll transfer you some files too. Can you treat me to a meal next time?”

Tan Rou replied with a smile, “If fate allows it and we meet again, I might indeed treat you to a meal.” In reality, she was thinking, what kind of idiot wants me to treat him to a meal? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll poison you?

However, the ill-tempered man waved his hand, “Hey, it’s just a small matter, and since you’re guests from abroad, how could I let you treat us? The consumption at this restaurant isn’t cheap; there’s no need for you to cover it. If we’re fortunate enough to meet again, let me invite you then as a welcome to our country.”

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu had a good impression of this man, and even though he said there was no need for them to treat, when the waiter brought the bill, Tan Rou had them bring it over and they paid first.

After leaving the coffee shop, Tan Rou pulled out her phone to listen to the recording, “Although the sound is a bit soft, we can try to enhance it when we get back and recover the original sound. Then we can get Samiyi to find someone proficient in music to transcribe the score.”

But when Tan Rou played the recording, they found that the sound of the flute was not soft at all, but very clear instead.

“Uh…” Zhuang Liu patted his ears, “Is there something wrong with my ears? Why do I feel the sound is very loud?”

Tan Rou instantly understood the reason, “It seems that the kind-hearted guy’s phone was malfunctioning.”

But they had already walked far away and didn’t go back to look for the guy; besides, if they did, that guy might want to return the money for the meal to Tan Rou and company.

Tan Rou said, “Let’s go, we’ll find Princess Samiyi at the royal palace and give her this recording.”

“Eh?” Zhuang Liu asked, “Can I go too?”

Tan Rou answered, “Samiyi has long been wanting to invite you, but I kept declining. I didn’t really want you to be exposed in front of others, after all, you are my last card to play.”

Hearing this, Zhuang Liu didn’t feel inclined to visit the palace anymore, “I’d rather wait outside for you, to avoid exposing my identity.”

Tan Rou looked around, “You might as well come with me, I think your identity is almost completely exposed now.”

Since Tan Rou put it that way, Zhuang Liu didn’t debate on the issue, “Alright, I’ll go with you to the palace, and I might as well take in the view inside.”

Tan Rou said, “There probably won’t be time to look around today; we can take our time to visit when we’re free.”

“Sure.” Zhuang Liu had no objections.

They didn’t enter through the main gate; that would be too conspicuous. Tan Rou led Zhuang Liu to the same side entrance Samiyi had used before, guarded by those most trusted by the princess.
