Shangguan Yue trotted to the yard with a small basket. She planned to pick some rose flowers and lingxiaocao leaves to make some cakes for the five little birds.

Because Lingxiao grass is an important food for the five little birds, Shangguan Yue went to check out the Lingxiao grass first.

The dozen or so Lingxiao grasses she transplanted had already grown well before, but when Shangguan Yue saw them today, her eyes widened.

What did she see? She actually saw four green round balls growing on two Lingxiao grass plants, with a little light purple on the top.

Could this be a flower bud? She hurriedly called the five little birds over.

The man and five birds chirped around the Lingxiao grass. Xiaobai and Xiaojin were the happiest. If the Lingxiao grass could bloom and bear fruit here, they could continue to survive here even if they could not return to Ziyan Island.

"Sister, Xiaobai thanks you very much." Xiaobai called a little shyly.

“Sister, Xiao Jin is also very grateful to you.”

"Sister, sister, we are very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, we don't know how long we could live."

"Okay, why are you all so polite to your sister? Now that Lingxiao grass can bloom, it will bear fruit, and the fruit will produce seeds. I will plant this yard full of Lingxiao grass in the future." Shangguan Yue said happily.

She was already very satisfied to have five birds that were both her relatives and friends. She should not be too greedy, because if she got them, she would be lucky; if she lost them, she would die.

There were no flower buds when she watered the plants a few days ago. But now they have grown after she didn’t pay attention these days?

Shangguan Yue carefully observed the soil on the ground and found nothing different. The only difference was that there was tea dregs under the two plants that already had flower buds.

Shangguan Yue picked up the tea dregs and looked at them. Aren't these the tea dregs from the tea she drinks every day? There are tea leaves, rose flowers, and osmanthus flowers.

Could it be that the tea dregs had the effect?

"Baizhi, Baiwei, come here." Shangguan Yue called the two over.

"Hello, Miss. What can I do for you?" Bai Zhi and Bai Wei saluted.

"I want to ask who dumped the tea dregs here?"

"It was this servant who dumped it. Please punish me, Miss." Bai Zhi was shocked. Could it be that tea dregs could not be dumped on these flowers and plants? But when they were young, they would dump rotten vegetable leaves and stems on the crops as fertilizer.

"Oh, it's you, Baizhi! Don't be afraid, you did a great job. These herbs are the Chinese medicinal herbs I planted. They are very precious, so you can help me take good care of them in the future.

You can grow them according to your method, but you can only try to fertilize one or two plants at a time. Keep a record of which ones were fertilized and which ones were not, and also keep a record of what fertilizer was used. I will reward you handsomely if you do a good job." Shangguan Yue instructed.

Baizhi, who was frightened and pale, recovered. It turned out that the eldest lady was not blaming her but praising her. Baizhi's face also turned rosy with joy.

"Okay, I understand. I will take good care of the flowers and plants in this yard."

"Okay, then you guys make some cakes and pastries. If you don't know how to cook, you can get some from the big kitchen." After giving the instructions, Shangguan Yue climbed up to the wooden house to enjoy the scenery and chat with the five little birds.

Half an hour later, Bai Wei brought up cakes and tea. Shangguan Yue tore the Lingxiao grass into pieces and sprinkled it on the cakes, then tasted them with the five little birds.

Shangguan Yue felt that this was a fairy-like day.

……

Another day passed, and news came from the Nanyue Protectorate General's Mansion that the second daughter died due to congenital deficiencies and no medicine could cure her. Her aunt fell ill due to excessive grief and then followed her daughter to death after a few days.

These illegitimate children and concubines did not attract much attention, so their death did not cause much stir.

However, there is only one concubine in the general's mansion. If she suddenly disappears, unnecessary trouble may occur.

Instead, Shangguan Ning moved out of the general's mansion, and many rumors spread, saying that Shangguan Yan no longer wanted his younger brother after he was promoted, and was afraid that his younger brother would take advantage of him, so he drove him away.

It was obvious that it was Jiang's doing, so she could only spread these irrelevant rumors behind the scenes.

But if she dares to do anything to harm others, don't blame her for being cruel.

"Miss, something bad has happened!" Xia Zhi ran into the Rose Courtyard in panic.

"What happened?" Shangguan Yue asked anxiously.

"Something happened to Zhang Shurou. Shangdong was seriously injured and Shangnan was slightly injured. It was Shangnan who desperately saved Shangdong.

Zhang Shurou and her maid Ludou were killed, and Zhima disappeared. "Xia Zhi was still frightened when he saw Shangdong who was seriously injured.

"I'll go and see if you can get a doctor to treat him."

"The doctor has gone."

"it is good."

……

Shangdong was sent to the front yard for treatment. He was stabbed twice in the chest and three times in the back. He had lost too much blood and was still in a coma.

The old doctor said that although the wound on the back was serious, it was not life-threatening. The two sword wounds on the chest were deeper and injured the lungs. If he could wake up within three days, he would be fine.

Shangnan's Qinggong skills were better, so he ran fast and only suffered minor injuries, but he still cared about the lives of his brothers while running away. He is truly a righteous man.

"Reporting to the eldest lady, the general's wife, there are five thieves in total, dressed as bandits, but their skills are not what bandits can have. And they went straight to Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang and her maid Lu Dou were both killed with one sword.

The other four people were pestering us. They were very skilled. Shangdong and I were no match for them. I could only rely on my Qinggong skills to help Shangdong escape." Shangnan said with some disappointment.

"Shangnan, you did a great job. You ran away when you couldn't win and ensured your own safety. You also protected your brothers and sisters in danger. This is truly a noble act.

There is always someone better than you, don't blame yourself, work harder in the future, I'm counting on you!" Shangguan Yue patted Shangnan's arm in appreciation, there was nothing she could do, she was short.

"Miss, you should have asked me to do this. I can definitely chop them all into pieces." Jin Feiyun felt unhappy no matter how he looked at it.

Shangguan Yue thought about it and thought, oh, that's right! This guy said he could beat four or five thieves. There were exactly four or five thieves. Jin Feiyun was just right to deal with them.

"That's impossible. You are my personal bodyguard. How could you leave me for so many days?" In this era where people can be beaten to death at will, who would not be afraid of death?

When Jin Feiyun heard Shangguan Yue say that she couldn't live without him, he was very happy and the unhappiness he had just felt disappeared in an instant.

"Shangnan, Zhang Shurou and Green Bean are dead, what about Sesame?"

"Miss, they didn't kill Zhima, they just kidnapped her. It's strange, they don't want a concubine, why do they want an ugly maid?" Shangnan didn't understand either.

Shangguan Yue glanced at Chen Bianbian. Could it be that this Zhima was a spy planted in the general's mansion? Was Zhang Shurou silenced? Was she a spy or was she bribed?

Zhang Shurou is the old lady's cousin's granddaughter and knows everything about her. Therefore, Zhang Shurou should not be a spy and is most likely bribed.

Maids and old women who were bought in are the easiest to sneak in, so who on earth sent this Zhima in?

Although Shangguan Yan had made great military achievements, he had just returned to the capital. He had no powerful background and no backing. So what was there to be monitored about him?

Either he wanted to win over Shangguan Yan to his side, or the emperor was afraid of him.

The reason why Zhang Shurou was bribed this time was probably because Li Junlan was not very useful at that time and was not worth winning over.

And now it is Bian Bian who has changed her mind. Will they bribe Bian Bian in the future? Impossible, because Bian Bian is already the general's wife, there is no need to bribe her to harm her own husband.

Will they plant spies around Bianbian? Shit! The general's mansion is now like a sieve, full of holes and leaking air.

Oh my god! It's so complicated and brain-burning.

But fortunately we have Xiaobai and Xiaolan.
