When Doctor Zhang heard her words, his expression, which was not very good to begin with, instantly became even uglier.

"what do you know?"

Mu Yunyao looked at the man in front of her through the veil and spoke after a while.

"I know more than Mu Jinnian, and I won't use this as a threat to get you to help me."

This was all the promises she could make to him, and whether he believed it or not was up to him.

Obviously, Doctor Zhang was not satisfied with her and asked back with a tense face.

"So what's going on tonight?"

Mu Yunyao didn't care about his anger and chuckled.

"It's just an equal exchange. You just said a few words for me, but I can help you realize your long-cherished wish."

Doctor Zhang obviously didn't believe her nonsense, but he was under her control and had to obey her orders.

Doctor Zhang stared at her with eyes full of anger, but there was deep helplessness in his eyes.

“How can a person who hides his head and shows his tail gain people’s trust?”

"If Imperial Doctor Zhang wants to know who I am, that's fine, as long as you don't regret it."

Mu Yunyao was about to take off the veil on her head, but was stopped urgently by Doctor Zhang.

"and many more."

The moment he said this, Mu Yunyao stopped what she was doing, as if she had expected it.

"I do not want to know."

Imperial Doctor Zhang uttered these words with gritted teeth, pretending not to hear the chuckle that Mu Yunyao couldn't help but let out.

Mu Yunyao had no intention of scaring him anymore, but instead gave him a kind reminder.

"If you don't want others to know about something, you'd better not do it yourself. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I advise you to make a decision early."

Originally, she had no connection with Doctor Zhang, and she had no obligation to remind him of anything.

I did this just for another person.

Doctor Zhang looked at her deeply. From what she said, it seemed that she knew a lot.

Doctor Zhang lowered his eyes for a while before finally compromising.

"I see."

Because Mu Yunyao reminded him, Doctor Zhang also said one more thing.

"Today's events cannot be concealed for long. I advise you not to play with fire and get burned."

Mu Yunyao didn't expect him to say this to her, and she raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"Don't worry about that. What I asked you to say is not all false."

Doctor Zhang didn't quite understand what she meant.

Could it be that Mu Jinnian was not poisoned, but she still wanted to poison others?

Mu Yunyao wouldn't be stupid enough to do that. On the surface, Mu Jinnian seemed to be powerless against her and let her do whatever she wanted, but secretly, he had arranged countless pairs of eyes to watch her.

If she really wanted to poison Mu Jinnian, she would definitely find out the truth after careful investigation.

What's more, at this time, Mu Jinnian saw everyone as someone who might harm him.

Mu Jinnian was not poisoned, but he was poisoned by a Gu, and the Gu had been in his body for at least twenty years.

Although it would not take his life, it would absorb his energy and spirit and feed it to another person. So, when Mu Yunyao asked someone to tell him that he was poisoned, it was not a complete lie.

Mu Yunyao knew who that person was, and she was just waiting for them to fight each other and enjoy the show.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Zhang's house. Doctor Zhang wanted to say that he had arrived home and it was time for her to leave, but when she looked up, there was no one else in the carriage except him.

If there hadn't been a faint scent of fragrance lingering in the carriage, he would have doubted whether there was really someone sitting there.

When Mu Yunyao returned to Guiyun Courtyard, the lights in the courtyard had already been turned off and the entire courtyard was silent.

She was about to go back to her room, but suddenly stopped.

There was someone in her room.

Mu Yunyao retreated quietly, but she didn't expect the window to be pushed open from the inside. A strong hand grabbed her waist and carried her directly into the house.

The dagger hidden in Mu Yunyao's sleeve came out instantly. The man turned his head to avoid the fatal blow, and grabbed her wrist with his backhand and squeezed it lightly.

"What? You just received the betrothal gift in the morning, and you want to murder your husband in the evening?"

A lazy and magnetic voice sounded in my ears, and as the hot air from my breath swept across my eartips, the tingling and numb feeling seemed to rush to the tip of my heart all of a sudden.

Her heart trembled and her face turned red instantly.

Xiao Qianmo's voice is no different from that of a normal man, even deeper and very pleasant to listen to.

Not as sharp as other eunuchs.

For fear of being seen by servants who might get up at night, neither of them turned on the lights.

Xiao Qianmo did not let go. He just held the person and sat down on the couch by the window, and closed the window.

"Little wild cat, where are you going to have fun in the middle of the night?"

It was the first time for Mu Yunyao to sit in a man's arms like this, with her waist held from behind. She was so embarrassed that her whole face was about to smoke.

Although Xiao Qianmo said some teasing words, he was actually not that good either.

His face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and his breath was a little dry.

Fortunately, there were no lights in the room, so we couldn't see each other's faces and it didn't seem so awkward.

Mu Yunyao relaxed when she knew that this person was Xiao Qianmo, and told him everything she had done when she went out.

After hearing this, Xiao Qianmo rested his chin on her forehead and said, "Let Qingshu and Xingchen handle this kind of thing in the future? Don't take risks foolishly by yourself."

When he sneaked in tonight, he found that there were several more groups of people outside her yard.

I guess it was because I had someone come to propose marriage to me during the day.

He had already secretly helped her solve part of the problem, so he couldn't always stay by Mu Yunyao's side and was still a little worried.

"it is good."

Mu Yunyao didn't want to make him worry, so she simply agreed.

Xiao Qianmo didn't know why this little girl liked him, but he knew very well that he was really in trouble.

He gently placed a kiss on Mu Yunyao's forehead.

"I really want to marry you as soon as possible."

Even if he did nothing, he would feel at ease as long as this girl was by his side.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunyao leaned closer to his arms again and rubbed her cheek against his smooth jade-like cheek.

For some reason, she felt extremely safe and relaxed in his arms. In this position, she fell asleep in a daze after a while.

When Mu Yunyao opened her eyes again, it was already noon. She woke up in her own bed.

Qingyun, who was still in a daze, heard the noise and came in with some water to serve him.

Mu Yunyao asked subconsciously.

"Did anyone come here last night?"

Qingyun was stunned and looked outside. Seeing no one around, she whispered.

"Governor Xiao came last night and left just before dawn. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, he did not disturb you.

Before you leave, let me tell you that there has been progress in the Qiu family's affairs, and the Shen family will not be in danger for the time being. If you want to see your cousin, you can go and see him at any time."

Mu Yunyao asked him why he would break into her bedroom in the middle of the night for no reason, and it seemed that he came to tell her the news.

But I didn't expect that I would fall asleep just after a short while in his arms.

Thinking of what happened last night, Mu Yunyao's face turned red unconsciously, as if it was stained by the morning glow.

Qingyun looked at her like this and wondered if there was anything she didn't understand.

He raised his two index fingers together and asked curiously, "Master, last night you and Governor Xiao, did you..."
