I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

As Lin Yan's personal maid, Green Tea knew that tonight was a special night.

"Master, please let me stay. Although I can't do any work, I can help you keep watch!"

"Let's go back. What if I get you into trouble? I have a miserable life and I can't let you get into trouble. It will make me feel guilty!"

"But Master, if something happens to you, we will also die! It is our duty to serve and protect you!" Green Tea knelt down with a thud. Seeing this, Zhiye also knelt down. "Master, please let us stay!"

Normally, when the master was resting, there should be someone to serve and keep watch on him. In the past, Lin Yan was considerate of the servants and sent them all away, leaving only one gatekeeper.

After thinking about it, it seemed to be true. If something happened to me, Zhao Yuan, with his neurotic personality, would definitely not let go of the maids and servants in this room.

Nodding. "You guys go down and rest first, come back after nightfall!"

"Yes!" Green Tea, Branches and Leaves then left with peace of mind.

...............

An hour later, Manager Xiong finally came over. The store was so busy! Business was so good that he couldn't stop smiling.

Master Lin had promised me that if the monthly sales reached 100,000 taels, he would reward me with 500 taels, and so on. The more sales, the greater the reward. These were things I had never dared to imagine before.

Lin Yan asked about today's sales in general. Manager Xiong replied with a smile, saying that after a quick calculation today, it was estimated to be around 10,000 taels.

Lin Yan nodded affirmatively, but was not very happy.

When I think about it, Wanfuzhai can easily make hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by reselling a piece of jewelry, while I lead a group of people to work hard and only earn ten thousand taels of silver a day. Why is the gap so huge?

Manager Xiong immediately sat up straight, thinking that Master Lin was not satisfied with his sales.

"Take this back, find the ingredients according to the method I taught you to make dim sum, and ask the chef to make one for me according to the method I taught him.

Let me know when it’s done, I’ll go to the store to check it out! The finished product must be kept absolutely confidential, I have other uses for it!” Lin Yan handed the ingredients and recipe notes she had written to Manager Xiong.

"Okay!" Manager Xiong took the formula and took a quick look at it. There were some data that he couldn't understand at all.

"Remember, except for the cake maker and you, don't let anyone else know about this." Lin Yan warned again with a serious look.

"Got it!" Manager Xiong nodded in response. Although he didn't understand why, he knew that he just had to do as he was told, and Master Lin would never treat him unfairly.

As night fell, the entire Crescent Moon Courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion fell into an unprecedented state of alert.

"Master Lin, it's dangerous outside. It's safer for you to stay in the house."

Lin Yan originally wanted to go out for a walk to digest her food, but Guard Li politely asked her to go back.

Although he didn't like the new temporary personal guard very much, for the sake of his own life, he didn't dare to show it. He nodded cooperatively and went back to the house.

The Crescent Moon Courtyard in the Rui Palace was brightly lit, and Green Tea and Branches were on high alert. Only Lin Yan acted as if nothing had happened. The only difference from usual was that she dressed formally tonight.

Eat when you should, drink when you should, and sleep when you should. A man in black came last night, but was slapped down by the palace guards. I guess there's nothing to worry about tonight.

Green Tea really admires her master's fearlessness in the face of danger.

"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future! The prince has stepped up his guard. If I still fart, I can only say that I am unlucky!

The guards' abilities are obvious to all. If they can't stop me, there's no need for me to even think about escaping!

All I can do now is to trust the guards' abilities with all my heart."

These words left Guard Li speechless, and he secretly swore in his heart that just for this trust, he would do his best to protect her.

Lin Yan didn't know that the flowers she planted with care did not bloom, but the willows she planted by accident grew into a shade.

She wanted to win the heart of Guard Cao, but the flower has feelings but the water is not ruthless!

An unintentional remark won the heart of Guard Li.

At the hour of Hai, the night is already deep, and the nightlife in the capital city begins with singing and dancing, lit up by colorful lanterns, and a dissolute nightlife.

The drama at the Rui Palace has also begun.

In the past, the men in black had always come alone, but tonight they came in groups. They were like a swarm of black locusts that suddenly flew in from the sky, so huge that it was far from what we had expected.

Lin Yan is now hiding behind Guard Li.

"A bunch of ruthless gamblers! How much did you bet?" Lin Yan shouted at the man in black who was fighting with Guard Li.

Just as night fell, we drove away five or six black people, and I guess it will be quiet now!

Guard Li led his men to patrol several times, but did not find anything unusual. There should be no danger in the house of Xianyue Courtyard.

Who knew that this group of people would not play by the rules? Thousands of them rushed in all of a sudden, carrying ladders, like a two-pound battle, attacking the city.

The back door was quickly knocked open by a powerful hammer, and the entire Rui Wang Mansion was thrown into chaos. All defenses were broken in an instant, and the hundreds of guards were overwhelmed to cope with it!

"One thousand taels!" The black-clothed man's sword was once again approaching Lin Yan's head.

Lin Yan was speechless. It seemed that all the citizens in the city had mobilized and formed a group to come and take her life for the gambling money.

The bet was clearly written that as long as they lost their own lives, they would win the bet. There was no need to care how the concubine died.

As soon as the news came out, it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Gamblers throughout the capital were all gathering their strength. The first few waves were just here to explore the way, and they were waiting for tonight.

Guard Li tried his best to block the blows, but his hands were no match for the four punches. "Hurry up and protect Master Lin and get out of here."

Guard Li was unable to cope with all the situations and tried hard to shake off the two men in black who had been harassing him, but the two men's martial arts were obviously not weak and he failed after several attempts.

Another man in black broke in through the window, and his knife was about to fall on Lin Yan's head.

Guard Li felt very disappointed. He had signed a life and death agreement in front of the prince, but now everything was over.

Who would have thought that Lin Yan, who looked so weak, would grab the stool next to her without hesitation and throw it over with a bang at the critical moment of life and death.

The man in black thought he was about to win, but he was caught off guard and hit by a stool. He covered his head and screamed.

The unexpected result was that the attack of the man in black was neutralized, relieving the psychological pressure on Guard Li.

Green Tea and Branch were so scared that they hid aside and trembled! It was the first time for them to experience such a real knife light and blood shadow, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

Lin Yan's judgment ability exceeded 280 in the final decision of life and death.

The various high and low furniture in the house became natural obstacles. The black-clad man's sword was not so easy to use freely, but as long as his body was flexible enough, he could still survive.

Lin Yan's counterattack made Green Tea and Branches wake up instantly, and they began to look for something useful.

The guards wanted to come in to rescue them, but there were too many black people rushing into the palace at once, so they could only struggle with the men in black outside.

Another man in black rushed in. Guard Li now had to fight three people alone. He was unaware of the scratches on his arms and thighs.
