My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

When Wen Yi heard this, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He kept nodding like a chick pecking at rice. He was also very quiet and only said a few words, "Don't worry, Princess. I will complete the task!"

After hearing the instructions, he walked away dancing and somersaulting.

The princess praised my martial arts skills and gave me such an important task.

Aww, I feel happy just thinking about it.

As soon as Wen Jia came over, he saw Wen Yi jumping around after accepting the task.

He looked a little gloomy, and he really wanted to tell the princess that he could do anything.

But he just opened his mouth and said nothing.

It was late at night, there were no insects chirping, and the prime minister's residence was utterly silent, with only a few servants on night duty patrolling back and forth from time to time.

Mei Xueer extinguished the candle early and sat quietly in her room.

In the darkness, her eyes were like stars in the night sky, especially bright.

After waiting for a long time, Wen Yi's very soft voice finally came from outside the door: "Princess——"

Mei Xueer suddenly stood up and opened the door. "How is it?"

Wen Yi wiped his forehead and said, "Princess, you don't know how dangerous it was just now. I was almost discovered. Fortunately, I am good at Qinggong. This is what happened. I was at the door of the study just now, and I was about to go in..."

"Get to the point!" Mei Xueer interrupted him.

"Okay, let's get to the point." Wen Yi swallowed and continued, "There is a dark room in Prime Minister Mei's study."

Mei Xueer was not surprised. It was not uncommon to have secret rooms in the mansions of princes and ministers.

What she was interested in was what her father had hidden inside and whether it had anything to do with her.

"Princess, the mechanism in the secret room is extremely hidden. It took me a long time to find it. I thought Prime Minister Mei hid a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in it, but there is none. It seems that Prime Minister Mei is really an honest official. He has been the Prime Minister for so many years, but he has not saved much property. He only has a few banknotes with a small denomination..."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Get to the point--" Mei Xueer gritted her teeth until they ached.

"There is a memorial tablet!" Wen Yi replied quickly.

Mei Xueer was startled and waited for Wen Yi to continue.

But this time Wen Yi refused to say anything.

"Keep talking!"

Wen Yi said "Oh", "Princess, didn't you think I was talking too much nonsense just now..."

Mei Xueer slapped him on the back of the head and gritted her teeth, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will take back your indentureship..."

Wen Yi: It’s so difficult. Sometimes I’m not allowed to speak, and sometimes I’m asked to speak quickly.

It's really tough.

Wen Yi said with a sad face, "There is a tablet in the dark room, but there is no words on it. But there are fresh offerings, and it is cleaned very well."

A tablet without words?

Who is this person who made my father secretly hold memorial services in a dark room?

Does mother know?

"What else did you find?"

"Also, there's more..." Wen Yi hesitated, not knowing how to start.

Mei Xueer became anxious and was about to slap him again.

Wen Yi covered his head and said quickly: "There is also a booklet that records the method of making poison. The booklet is very old and it can be seen that it was written a long time ago..."

Poison!

Mei Xueer's face turned pale instantly, and she could only hear a loud buzzing in her brain. She could not hear what Wen Yi said next.

Father, you actually know how to make poison?

How many secrets are you still hiding?

Is the poison in Du Zheng related to his father?

She even found it difficult to breathe and was gasping for air.

Wen Yi stepped forward to support her with some concern: "Princess, just because Prime Minister Mei has this booklet doesn't mean he can do it! How could Prime Minister Mei be able to perform such a vicious and evil technique? Think about it, those who make Gu are so evil. Just like the patient you mentioned before, he tortured himself to death, which was so cruel. Prime Minister Mei must not be such a person..."

Wen Yi, do you know how to comfort people?

Come here, I promise not to beat you to death!

Mei Xueer took a deep breath, "What else is in the dark room?"

Wen Yi shook his head. "Oh, there is another small box. I tried many ways to open it, but I couldn't open it. The lock on the box is also very strange. There are five small holes, and it can be rotated. When it is rotated, different words appear in the small holes, A, B, C, D, E, just like my brothers Yun. Eh? This box can't be related to us, right? But..."

Mei Xueer: Could it be a combination lock?

Wen Yi continued: "Hey, Princess, you say, this is not talking about us, right? It's definitely not! Princess, I really don't know anything. You have to believe us. We are loyal to you, and we have no second thoughts. We are loyal, devoted to our country, and we have the heart of a dog or a horse..."

He racked his brains and finally finished saying all the idioms he knew. When he was about to say it a second time, Mei Xueer slapped him in the face again.

"Yi, I have another task for you!"

Wen Yi stopped talking immediately and straightened his already straight back even more.

This is the princess's trust in me, and I must complete it seriously.

"I'm leaving for Yunzhou tomorrow. You stay and look after the Prime Minister's Mansion for me..."

"Ah?! Princess, I can't do this job. I want to go with you..."

Mei Xueer gave him a look that said "I treat you as my own" and patted his shoulder. "Remember, don't tell anyone about this."

"Princess..." Wen Yi was about to cry. He had finally waited for an opportunity to go on a field trip, but it was gone just because he was too outstanding.

"Go out, it's settled." Mei Xueer yawned.

This boy is too noisy. If I keep him around, I'm afraid he'll get me mad every day!

Mei Xueer lay on the bed, staring at the dark bed curtains, and could not sleep all night.

Her mind was full of that dark room and all those mysterious legends about South Vietnam.

Father, what secret are you hiding?

She wanted to find out everything clearly immediately, but the trip to Yunzhou could not be delayed any longer.

The Eighth Prince's poison and Du Zheng's poison cannot wait.

She was also full of curiosity about the miracle doctor.

She always had a bold suspicion that the miracle doctor might have traveled from the future just like her.

After all, judging from the way he sutured Wendin's wounds and the way he healed them, it was definitely not up to the medical standards of this era.

If she can get through, why can't others get through as well?

The capital city will be handed over to Wen Yi. I hope he can find out something during this period.

After dawn, when Mei Xueer appeared in front of everyone, her eyes were red.

Nanxing was shocked when he saw the young lady's rabbit-like eyes.

Mei Xueer forced a smile, "Bingzi, have you loaded all the things onto the carriage?"

"Everything has been packed up. Even the little turtle is taken away!" Wen Bing replied.

Mei Xueer nodded, looked back at Ji Xuexuan, then looked at Wen Yi who was looking depressed in the corner, and gave him an encouraging look, "Let's go!"

Everyone looked at Wen Yi with sympathy, then surrounded Mei Xueer and left the Prime Minister's residence.

Before leaving the city, she went to see Gu Jia again. She didn't get any information from him, but took out all the silver that belonged to her from him and put it all into the space. She also took away a large box of soap and egg tarts.

After leaving Happy Casino, she also went to the Pig Intestine Restaurant. The owner was still not there. Ah Zi said that he had left Zhen Country for something and would be back in a while.

"Miss Mei, just go and do your own thing. During this time, we will also prepare some new dishes for you to taste when you come back."
