The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

The people in front of her were all her confidants. Although they were independent in some matters and she had not told everyone, she did not hide anything from them either. So at this moment, she did not send the others away.

Crawling on the ground, Leng Yun knocked his head very deeply this time:

"Miss, I dare not. My Lord has said that seeing you is like seeing him. Even if you want me to die, I will never dare to have the slightest objection or disobey you. My Lord will not ask, and I have never reported anything about you without permission."

"Only during the first few days after I arrived did the Master ask you what you usually do, that's all."

"I didn't keep an eye on you, and you didn't give me any orders to execute."

"If that day really comes, no matter what choice I make in the end, at least I can promise that I will never hide it from you."

Only then did they understand the reason why Mu Lianzhi was angry and the origin of it. Chunmiao and Xia Xiu were shocked. On the other side, Leng Yu also leaned over and kowtowed to her:

"Miss, I can vouch for Leng Yun that she is not lying. I am guilty of the same crime as her."

"profound?"

That being said, Beitang Yi probably only suspected herself at most, and did not intervene in any special way. This was consistent with his reaction. It was good news that he did not ruin her business.

The abilities and attitudes of these two sisters also won her heart.

I have to say that Yutian Pavilion really knows how to manage its subordinates.

"Get up! Why are you all kneeling on the ground? If someone doesn't know, they might think I'm going to do something to you."

Raising his hand in a gesture, Mu Lianzhi lowered his voice and continued to ask:

"How do you achieve accuracy without harming innocent people?"

"Since I verified his identity and prepared to take action, I have been looking for someone to watch him. I have visited him several times in advance and got familiar with his daily routine. I found that his beard is actually fake. The snake-attracting dew on his clothes and the little bit that may have stained his skin are mostly just to lock the target. My bamboo flute can control it accurately."

As she spoke, she took a bamboo tube from her waist:

"Are you afraid of snakes, Miss?"

Nodding, Mu Lianzhi shook his head again.

Taking a step away, Leng Yun poured out a round object from the bamboo tube and placed it on the table. She took out a small bottle and just shook it around, and the miniature golden snake began to move.

She put her fingers to her lips and blew casually, and the golden snake raised its head and walked back and forth along the edge of the table and chair for a few circles.

She gave a signal with her eyes, and Leng Yu seemed to have telepathic communication with her. He flipped over an empty teacup and placed it on the table. Then, the snake crawled into the cup. Leng Yun withdrew his hand, and the snake stopped there motionless.

Several people were amazed, but their hair stood on end.

Leng Yun walked over and blew twice, and the snake crawled back into the bamboo tube by itself. Then she bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood into the bamboo tube, and then hung the round bamboo tube back in her purse.

"This is the basic training we usually do. I am just a little gifted in this area. I can actually control it very accurately without any temptation. However, this will consume my own internal energy. The farther the distance and the longer the time, the more limited the time I can control."

"It turns out that the snake-attracting dew is just an auxiliary..."

Yutian Pavilion is really full of talented people. She borrowed two treasures from Beitang Yi!

"Yes, that snake is specially raised in our pavilion. I was able to borrow it because of some convenient connections. Miss, this is not a complete disadvantage for you. The master should have acquiesced and known it."

"But I have not told anyone about this matter. My Lord, let me carry out your orders."

"I was afraid of hurting innocent people or leaving evidence that would hinder the young lady's business, so I used some tricks to make the baby cry. In addition, the cicadas and frogs in the courtyard were chirping, and the man was inevitably irritated, so he hid in the study."

"I have been there before, and it is the most reasonable place to attack. The eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. The snake will kill him instantly. He will not survive."

"I verified their identities before the operation, and also checked them after the operation. There will be absolutely no chance of anything going wrong."

Nodding, Mu Lianzhi smiled with relief:

"You did a great job and thought it through very carefully! Leng Yun, you actually saved my life this time, I owe you a 'thank you'."

Looking at each other, several people were obviously shocked:

"Miss?"

"Miss, Wang Zhang...what grudge does he have against you? Why do you want to...get rid of him like this?"

This was actually what Leng Yun had always wanted to ask. This time, it was Xia Xiu who asked it. She was very smart. All of them spoke in a somewhat cryptic and reserved manner.

"He's the guy who died three years ago!"

"For three years, he lived in hiding, had a wife and children, lived a carefree life, and spent money lavishly. But a marriage contract trapped me in this cage, where I was deceived, tortured, blamed, sacrificed, and had my blood taken..."

"If I don't become a real widow, how can I justify my three years of hard work? If I am not a real widow, once he returns, why would I, a thorn in his side and a stain, still have any need to exist?"

"If I'm gone, who in Yuxiuyuan will have a good ending?"

"So, we have to live, and live well. If anyone doesn't give us a way to live, then he will have no way to go. What's the harm if a person who is already dead dies again?"

They understood everything in an instant, and were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads, but in the end they all chose to remain silent in unison.

……

Ever since the chance encounter in Baimingfang, Beitang Yi would think of that day's scene from time to time in the following two days.

On this day, he was reviewing official documents in the study room when his eyes inadvertently swept across a landscape painting on the wall. It was clearly just a curved line of mountains and waters, but somehow, his mind kept on fantasizing about the curvy and graceful figure of the woman, her every frown and smile, her alluring beauty, her every move and gesture, all kinds of charm.

Still holding the pen in his hand, Beitang Yi became distracted unconsciously.

At this moment, a servant's voice came from outside the door:

"Sir, Eunuch Defu is here to visit—"

"come in."

Beitang Yi closed the official document, and the moment he stood up, the emperor's close eunuch walked in with a little eunuch.

"Meet Master Beitang."

"I dare not. Eunuch Fu is polite."

Defu's real name was "Bu Defu". He was the first steward of the inner court and the most trusted person around the emperor. Because of his surname, it sounded a bit unlucky, so he asked to avoid using his surname and called himself "Defu".

Outsiders call him "Eunuch Fu".

Beitang Yi was about to kneel down to receive the decree, but Eunuch Fu stopped him with his hand:

"Sir, I am here to deliver your message. No need to be polite."

"The Qixi Festival is approaching, and the Queen Mother intends to hold a banquet in the Imperial Palace. Officials of the fifth rank and above and their wives are all invited. I hope you will come and support me. I have been very busy recently, so please forgive me if I have not done my job well enough."

As he spoke, he handed over a red invitation letter, and at the same time, he unnoticed a small golden porcelain bottle in his palm.
