The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

According to the plan, we were supposed to have lunch before leaving the next day. That morning, Liuzi knocked on the door of the villa. He bowed and said, "Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent me to take you back."

Lu Yun glanced at the carriage behind him; it was quiet. Remembering the other women in the manor, she gave up the thought of dragging him out and snorted.

He turned around and said goodbye to his cousin Jiaoying, telling them not to worry and to have a good lunch before leaving. Dashou would naturally follow.

On the way back, Dashou and Zhou Boli sat across from each other, staring at each other. Lu Yun, accustomed to this, sat in the back seat, pondering her playing cards.

Dashou turned his gaze to the card in his sister's hand and said, "Sister, give this to me."

Since she had the pattern at home, Lu Yun handed the cards over without hesitation and mentioned her plan. "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. I plan to make a few more decks of leaf cards with the Changfuji logo and put them in the gift bag. What do you think?"

This is actually inspired by the gift box program of modern merchants. Many merchants have similar peripheral products, including mahjong! Director Wan once said that the sea voyage was too long, and when the time came, they could put a few decks on the ship to help them pass the time.

A big hand took the leaf card from Lu Yun before the big hand was taken away.

Zhou Boli looked through them one by one, frowning in confusion. "What are these used for?"

Dashou reached out to grab it without hesitation, but Zhou Boli dodged it effortlessly. Lu Yun held her forehead to prevent the situation from escalating further and decisively took the cards back.

Because she had a private purpose called "killing time", Lu Yun explained the rules of the game of mahjong in great detail, in order to avoid the risk of being caught between the two people, being in a dilemma and not being accepted by either side.

Zhou Boli was very interested and eager to try. He had long been dissatisfied with his father's foolish fishing methods. Grandma, father, mother, and Liao Guanshi made up a perfect group of four.

Lu Yun saw what he was thinking and insisted on the principle of first come first served. She quickly said, "I have promised to give this deck to Dashou."

He raised his chin slightly and took the leaf card into his arms.

Zhou Boli glanced at her and was about to speak when the carriage stopped. If they didn't leave now, when would they? Lu Yun hurriedly pulled Dashou out of the carriage.

Five days later, eight sets of leaf cards were delivered to Anlan Courtyard. Lu Yun sent four sets to Jiaoying, asking her to pass two of them on to Luo Er. Caihe sent two sets to Muyang Residence, and Lu Yun took the remaining two sets to the next door.

To Lu Yun's surprise, she saw Zhou Zhongyi.

Zhou Zhongyi and Dashou sat across from each other, with Biyu and Hongfei on the other two sides, each holding a few leaf cards, playing enthusiastically. It was Huihui who first noticed Lu Yun holding something. Lu Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and she was speechless. "You guys? How long has this been going on?"

Jade said cheerfully, "My Lady Princess, this card game you came up with is really fun, much more fun than the ones we played before."

Zhou Zhongyi laughed awkwardly, "Not long, just three to five days, haha."

Lu Yun felt tired. Could this be the monkey shit that was collected? The master and two servants just took advantage of the opportunity that Zhou Zhongyi had taken.

Seeing Cai He peeking at the door, Lu Yun handed the new cards to her and said, "If you have any other ideas, please send someone to tell me at any time."

He rubbed the big gray head twice, turned around and left.

"Xiao Yun, come here quickly, come here quickly. Tell your father how to play this card?" The King of Nanyue said as he looked at his son with disdain. You also have times when you are not good enough.

Lu Yun was well prepared and took out the rules she had written and explained them one by one. After listening, the King of Nanyue suddenly realized what "upgrade" meant.

Grandma was full of energy and praised generously, "This is good. Jiang Nu is really smart."

Princess Gao was very interested. "This is a new way to play, and you can even set a prize." Then she looked at the King of Nanyue, her blue-gray eyes full of provocation. "How about picking something from your private collection as the prize?"

The King of Nanyue waved his hand generously and said, "Old Liao, go and get my bronze tripod!"

Smelling the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, Lu Yun fell into deep thought. Is this how middle-aged couples get along?

When Lu Yun returned to Anlan Courtyard and saw the package on the table, her expression immediately became serious. She signaled Caihe to invite Mother Dong over.

The box contained ten bottles of four different scented pills. Each bottle contained about twenty pills. Mother Dong poured each one out carefully, examining and smelling them. Finally, she shook her head at Lu Yun and said, "Princess, all of them are fine."

Lu Yun frowned and muttered to herself, "That shouldn't be the case." Could it be someone else, not Gong Jinjin? But how could she explain those poisonous pills?

Lu Yun sniffed carefully, frowning when she reached the last four bottles. These four bottles had a strong borneol content, which she disliked. However, it was normal to dislike a few bottles out of ten; this wasn't a suspicious point.

Divide these four bottles among Caihe and others, and ask Mother Dong to keep all the remaining incense pills.

Although everything seemed normal, Lu Yun's brows remained furrowed. Her intuition told her that she was just a little bit away from the truth.

Sitting in the bathtub covered with flower petals, Lu Yun leaned on the edge of the tub and chatted with Caihe in a casual manner.

"Oh." Caihe let out a soft cry and looked at her wet bracelet in annoyance. She had forgotten to take it off again.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yun looked back and saw that it was only the silver bracelet that was wet. She couldn't help but joked, "Wait until Director Wan brings the gold nuggets back from Luzon. I'll arrange five pairs for you, gold ones."

Cai He pursed her lips and chuckled, "Why would a servant need so much gold? It's just a pity that the perfume pills in this bracelet rotted after being soaked in water. They were supposed to last half a month, but now they're useless after just a few days."

"Poison pills? Soaked to pieces?" Lu Yun's eyes widened, and the heavy mystery that shrouded her eyes disappeared completely. She slapped the water surface hard without realizing it. She finally figured out how the person behind the scenes used the poisonous fragrance pills to harm people. It was really chilling.

I hurriedly called Mother Dong over, picked out a pill from each bottle and dissolved it in water. Suddenly, a faint and strange smell wafted into the room.

Mother Dong was shocked, "Hurry up and open the doors and windows, Princess. The effect of this incense pill is exactly the same as before, or even stronger." After she finished speaking, a layer of white sweat broke out on her back. She murmured in a low voice, "I consider myself quite proficient in identifying spices, but why can't I identify this harmful thing? I almost made a big mistake. Please punish me, Princess!" After that, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun leaned over to help the old woman up, sighing, "This really isn't Mom's fault. The person behind this is so cunning that even I'm afraid of them." She then used a knife to pick out a scented pill and split it in half. "Look, Mom, this scented pill has two layers. The harmful substance has been deodorized, and then coated in a fragrant spice powder mixed with essential oils. You can't smell anything unusual."
