Master's Chief Disciple

At this moment, she was thinking about how to dispel the Grand Princess's doubts. If Lu Ci was really found out, what would she do?

She pretended to be wronged and tried to squeeze out tears while sobbing. Song Yunmo's heart was in his throat.

But if she didn't find an excuse, Gu Qingtang would certainly be charged with infidelity, and it would be more difficult for her to stay in the palace and investigate the secret people.

"Royal sister, this bandage was dropped by Qingtang's spirit pet. It was accidentally injured when fighting with me yesterday."

But the eldest princess didn't believe him. A quarter of an hour later, a guard came out holding a wounded snow-white civet cat in his arms.

"Reporting to the Grand Princess, we did not find any traces of the others, and only found this injured spirit pet under the bed."

Lu Ci also cleverly understood what Song Yunmo meant, so he scratched the civet cat he had rescued a few days ago and threw it away.

When the civet cat saw Gu Qingtang, it limped towards her, meowing as if it had seen its master, and kept rubbing her ankles.

Then he jumped onto her shoulder and rubbed her affectionately. But he had to give the eldest princess a way out, so Gu Qingtang put the pet on the ground and held Song Yunmo's hand.

"I, Gu Qingtang, swear here in front of my sister and everyone else that I will only love him, Song Yunmo, forever and ever."

Just when he was about to give up, he saw Chu Mengyan peeking and eavesdropping from a distance, so he deliberately raised his hand to pull his collar and stood on tiptoes to kiss him.

The eldest princess did not ask any more questions and looked pleased. Others applauded and blessed them.

Song Yunmo was slow to react for a moment before he raised his hands to wrap around her waist and kissed her soft lips domineeringly.

Gu Qingtang pinched his back with his left hand and reluctantly let her go after feeling a groan of pain. Song Shulan coughed lightly to ease the atmosphere and dismissed the people around them.

"But Qingtang poisoned Chu Mengyan first, I must give Mengyan an explanation."

But Song Yunmo still insisted that the matter was too strange, and insisted that the Grand Princess give him a few days to investigate the matter.

Finally, at Song Yunmo's repeated requests, the Grand Princess did not put him in the ice prison, but temporarily sent Gu Qingtang to the cold palace to reflect on his mistakes.

Chu Mengyan was overjoyed to know this. She had never expected that Gu Qingtang was also afraid of falling out of favor, and in order to win Song Yunmo's love, he actually plotted to kill himself.

"Gu Qingtang, luckily I know what the Frost Moss Dove is, otherwise I would have been dead by now."

She sat in front of the dressing mirror with a sinister smile on her face, while the maidservant beside her was dressing her up.

"In this way, the master will soon be favored."

"This is not a long-term solution... The only way is..."

The maid saw Chu Mengyan's vicious eyes in the bronze mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

The environment in the cold palace was very desolate and the surroundings were terribly deserted, but fortunately Song Yunmo sent people to clean up the surroundings.

Now the environment in this hall looks warmer, with many classical furniture placed in it.

Originally, Tao Yun was supposed to move into the cold palace with her, but Gu Qingtang refused, saying that he didn't want her to suffer with him.

At first, Tao Yun cried and insisted on being with her master no matter what, but she gave up after Gu Qingtang's persuasion.

Just in case, she placed a butterfly on Song Yunmo before coming to the cold palace so that she could check on Chu Mengyan at any time;

As soon as she came to this point, she heard Chu Mengyan's voice through Qingdie. Song Yunmo, who was reviewing memorials in Chengzheng Hall, immediately turned cold when he noticed Chu Mengyan coming.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

He just kept his head down and read the memorials and responded coldly. A trace of displeasure flashed across Chu Mengyan's face and she said tenderly, "Your Majesty, I have made some tonic. Please try my cooking while it's hot."

She now had the support of the Grand Princess and was not afraid of his cold words, so she boldly put the things on the table.

Song Yunmo winked at Lin Gui who was standing beside him. He immediately understood and walked up to her and said, "Empress Zhaoyi, please put the food here first. His Majesty is very busy now and will find time to taste it later."

Chu Mengyan wanted to stay and accompany him, but no matter whether she was sitting, standing or talking to him, Song Yunmo never paid any attention to her.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Mengyan didn't find any opportunity to take action and was so angry that she stamped her feet. Every time she went to find Song Yunmo, Lin Gui and Xia Changqing were there.

But even so, she couldn't complain to the Grand Princess. After all, Song Yunmo didn't do anything to her. On the eighth night of Gu Qingtang's imprisonment in the cold palace,

The enemy in the dark was surprised to learn that Gu Qingtang was imprisoned, but he also realized that Chu Mengyan was a chess piece that could be used.

"Master, it's been eight days, why is there still no movement?"

Fengdie was worried that Chu Mingchuan and the others would find the fake hostage sooner or later. Ever since the nanny searched Chuxiayuan, Chu Mengyan had sent people to keep watch nearby every day.

This meant that she hadn't met Lu Ci for eight days, but fortunately she had prepared in advance and left a green butterfly in the garden so that she could communicate with Lu Ci through it.

"Wait a little longer, Chu Mengyan will not miss the opportunity to kill me."

As soon as Gu Qingtang came back to her senses, she realized that there were many assassins gathered nearby. She used a magic weapon to hide her figure and aura. After her fingertips slightly turned in a circle, a fake Gu Qingtang transformed from a butterfly lay safely on the couch.

When she retreated, she sensed that the fool Song Yunmo was in danger, so she ordered the phoenix butterfly to urge the blue butterfly to communicate with him, but no matter how she called, there was no response.

In the picture, she saw Song Yunmo lying unconscious on the bed, but Xia Changqing and Lin Gui were still guarding outside the Tingzhu Palace. Why didn't they notice anything unusual?

How did Chu Mengyan get into the Tingzhu Palace? She found out the clues in just a moment when she came to the door. It turned out that Xia Changqing and Lin Gui were dragged into the illusion.

She searched for the person who cast the spell for a few moments and then locked onto a bamboo forest not far away. With the help of the butterflies around the bamboo forest, she saw that the person was another personal maid of Chu Mengyan.

Chu Mengyan in the room was holding an unknown jade bottle in her hand. She looked at the unconscious Song Yunmo infatuatedly and raised her hand to gently stroke his chest.

"Hahaha... Song Yunmo, you finally fell into my hands."

"Do you know? Your favorite concubine, Gu Qingtang, is about to die in my hands."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be writing some secret message and then sent it out, and then she lay beside Song Yunmo and looked at him and laughed crazily, "My dear brother, you owe me a big favor, and I have completed the mission."

At the same time, after receiving the spirit butterfly prepared by Gu Qingtang, the Regent led his men to ambush near the Qiushui Palace.

The Qiushui Palace is where the eldest princess lives. It is now midnight and the candles in the Qiushui Palace have gone out.

The assassin hiding in the distance crawled forward when he saw the opportunity, but he was surrounded by the palace's secret guards before he reached the Qiushui Palace.

"Don't even move!"

The eldest princess, who had noticed the commotion, walked out of the palace with the help of her maid. A sharp arrow streaked across the sky and hit the eldest princess directly.

With a few crackling sounds, the layers of barriers in the palace were shattered by the sharp arrows. Seeing this, the maids hurriedly protected the eldest princess and retreated, setting up a barrier.

But a maid in the middle realm was no match for the princess who pushed aside and desperately took the arrow.

Suddenly, the sound of flesh being torn apart was heard, and the maid's shoulder was pierced. Several secret guards stepped forward to open up space and planned to escort the eldest princess away.

But at this moment, the sharp arrow nailed to the door frame began to emit poisonous smoke. The secret guards reacted quickly and stood in different positions, chanting incantations.

Suddenly, a large circular barrier was opened to block the poisonous smoke. The maid tried her best to stand up and pushed the eldest princess, who had inhaled a lot of poisonous gas, into the space.

After the maid vomited blood and fell to the ground, the secret guards were also injured one after another. The assassins who came to assassinate the Grand Princess were all dealt with by the Regent and others.
