Luo Lingyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a relaxed expression: "Aunt, don't worry! I'm not afraid of them!" Her eyes showed determination and confidence, as if she had already seen through her opponent's tricks.

Concubine An's face was full of worry, and she said with a frown: "Xiao Qi, I'm worried that the Queen will interfere with your marriage!" Her voice was full of worry and uneasiness, as if she had foreseen the possible trouble.

Luo Lingyue frowned slightly, and her big almond-shaped eyes turned: "Aunt! Xiaoqi doesn't have to get married!" There was a hint of stubbornness and persistence in her eyes, as if she was expressing her determination to her aunt.

Concubine An raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled, "How could you say such a stupid thing, kid! Dazhao Kingdom is so big, there will always be a good boy who can match my Xiaoqi!" Her eyes flashed with confidence and tenderness, and she seemed full of expectations for the future.

Luo Lingyue bit her lip and thought to herself. In this time and space, not getting married is simply heresy, and no one can accept it. This is really a big headache!

She couldn't help but worry that if her husband annoyed her in the future, would she be unable to control herself and cruelly bring him a bowl of medicine and say coldly: "Da Lang, drink the medicine!" Uh... just thinking about it, it feels really vicious!

The Queen and Li Jingshu came to the back hill of the White Horse Temple and walked into a simple courtyard. Li Jingshu bent her knees and fell to the ground with a plop, her voice filled with guilt and self-blame: "Aunt! It's all Jingshu's fault! It's Jingshu who implicated Aunt!" Tears welled up in her eyes, her expression was full of pain and regret.

The queen sighed deeply, her heart full of resentment. She said slowly: "This is not your fault! I really can't understand why Xiao Jinghan and Chu Shiyou, who never meddle in other people's affairs, would stand up for Luo Lingyue this time! Forget it! Let's rest early! We don't know how the empress dowager will make trouble for us tomorrow!" There was a trace of worry in her eyes, as if she had foreseen the future troubles.

Luo Lingyue, who had just returned to Wanyuewu from the palace, saw a silver ring snake coiled around her bed.

She walked forward without hesitation, carefully picked up the coral snake, and quickly hid it in her sleeve. At this moment, Linglong and Liuli walked in.

Linglong said softly, "Miss, I have followed your instructions and asked everyone to keep today's events a secret and never tell Madam!" Her tone revealed her concern and obedience to Luo Lingyue.

Luo Lingyue nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction. If her mother knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous. Her tears would probably flood Wanyuewu like a flood.

Then, Luo Lingyue ordered: "Go prepare some hot water, I want to take a bath and wash away all the bad luck on my body!" There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice.

Her gaze turned to Liuli again. Liuli understood her intention intelligently and said quickly, "Miss, rest assured. I will be guarding outside the door. No one will disturb your sleep."

Luo Lingyue gently took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The warm water wrapped around her body and washed away her fatigue. After the bath, she took the red dress from the hanger. The fiery red and mysterious Lycoris radiata embroidered on the hem of the dress seemed to be dancing with flames.

She stood in front of the bronze mirror, carefully examining her own face, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. Dark Moon Fairy should be so charming and so gorgeous! The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a charming smile bloomed on her face.

She cleverly avoided the surveillance of many spies and came to Mu San's Eagle House. Dark Moon Fairy frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Mu San! Why are you still hiding in this ghost market? Is there something important that must be handled by this Pavilion Master personally?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the coral snake into Mu San's arms. Mu San carefully caught the little snake and gently placed it in his arms, as if it was an invaluable treasure.

Seeing this, Dark Moon Fairy couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Oh! You've developed feelings for it!"

Mu San quickly flattered, "The little snake that the Pavilion Master gave me as a reward is my brother from the Dark Moon Pavilion! Naturally, I have to treat it better!"

The corners of Dark Moon Fairy's eyes twitched slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's get down to business!"

Mu San's expression straightened up, and he said respectfully: "Master, there is a big deal, and I dare not make the decision casually. I came to ask for your instructions!"

Dark Moon Enchantress pursed her red lips, her eyes firm: "I said you are the deputy leader, you can handle the business matters yourselves!" There was a hint of trust and delegation in her voice.

Mu San scratched his cheek, looking embarrassed: "For this business, not only did the employer personally invite us, he also invited the Soul-Dying Sect. I'm worried about you, Pavilion Master..." His words revealed his concern for the Pavilion Master's safety.

Dark Moon Fairy was silent for a moment, thinking to herself, Being invited by two major assassination organizations at the same time, how powerful must the person to be killed be?

She raised her eyes and stared at Mu San, and asked, "Who to kill? How much silver?" Her eyes revealed determination and decisiveness.

Mu San paused for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Master! This time we are not going to kill people, but to protect people! We are going to Nanyi to pick up the little princess Nanzhi from Youli Kingdom. The employer is willing to pay five thousand taels of gold." His tone showed both surprise at the mission and excitement about the high reward.

Dark Moon Enchantress blinked, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was immediately replaced by greed: "Then take it! It's just to protect one person. Are you stupid not to earn so much gold?" Her words were full of desire for money and contempt for the mission.

Mu San looked embarrassed and said softly, "I heard that this time Princess Nanzhi disguised herself as a caravan to enter Yuewu Kingdom, and then entered Nanyi from Yuewu Kingdom. Nanyi is Xiao Jingyi's territory, he will definitely send someone to assassinate Princess Nanzhi!" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, as if he had foreseen the difficulty and danger of the mission.

Luo Lingyue looked confused and asked puzzledly: "I have heard that the small country of Youli has a special status among the three major countries, and no country dares to go to war with it easily. Then why doesn't Princess Nanzhi come directly to Dazhao Kingdom?"

Mu San hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Pavilion Master, according to the information we have gathered, Princess Nanzhi came here to bring the antidote to the Biluo Poison to Prince Xiao! There is a feud between Yuewu and the Wu'an Palace, so of course they hope that the Wu'an Prince will have no descendants!"

Dark Moon Enchantress's eyes dimmed instantly, and she couldn't help but feel pity and sympathy for Xiao Jinghan.

Mu San continued, "And this Xiao Jingyi is even more eager for the Xiao prince to die soon! That way he can take over the Xiao family army and establish himself as king!"

"There is also no telling whether there will be anyone in the imperial court or the harem of Dazhao who wishes for the death of Prince Xiao! Pavilion Master, this is not as simple as just killing one person! Who knows how great the risks along the way will be!"
