You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Royal study room.

At midnight, Emperor Yan left the imperial study and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Because I really wanted to hear good news, I sat on the bed and read a book, waiting for Mingxiao to bring back good news.

Three quarters of a hour.

Zhao Jingchen, Ling Feng, Mu Yunge and An Su avoided the guards patrolling the palace and quietly sneaked into the imperial study.

Ling Feng was keeping watch at the door while Zhao Jingchen, along with Mu Yunge and his servant, walked straight to the jade table with a clear goal in mind. They opened the top drawer and after searching through it, they did not find the elixir of immortality that the Great Yan Emperor had taken.

Then he opened the drawers below and searched carefully. With the help of Mu Yunge, he finally found half a box of pills and a white porcelain bottle in the middle drawer.

Zhao Jingchen opened the box and looked at the pill inside: "I saw him take the immortality pill once. The shape, size and color were similar to this one."

Mu Yunge handed the box to An Su: "Take a quick look, are these the ones?"

An Su took the box and took out a pill, put it under his nose and smelled it carefully, then used the light of a fire stick to check the quality of the pill.

"This pill does contain mostly health-preserving herbs, but it also contains something that causes chest tightness and shortness of breath, and promotes blood clotting. That must be it.

The specific ingredients need to be carefully examined before they can be identified."

Zhao Jingchen looked at the white porcelain bottle suspiciously and shook it again. "Take another look at what's inside. Is it the same poison I was poisoned with?"

An Su took the bottle and pulled out the cork, his expression changed sharply, and he quickly put the cork back in.

"This poison is different from the poison that the prince was poisoned with. It is the legendary Thousand Machine Poison, and it has the same effect as the poison that Prince Lin was poisoned with."

Mu Yunge quickly took it and put it back after hearing it, "An Su, can you cure this Thousand Machine Poison?"

"Yes, but the herbs are hard to find, but I happen to have them."

Mu Yunge's eyes rolled around, and a plan came to mind. "Do you have anything good to exchange for this Thousand Machine Poison? That person won't use it to harm others."

An Su thought for a moment, then jokingly took out two porcelain bottles from the small cloth bag at his waist and mixed them together.

He took out another porcelain bottle, poured out the pills inside, poured the Thousand Machine Poison into his own porcelain bottle, and then poured the mixed liquid into the porcelain bottle containing the Thousand Machine Poison.

"Alright, it's done. The switch is perfect. Even if he's very familiar with this Thousand Machine Poison, he won't be able to detect it!"

Zhao Jingchen and Mu Yunge gave An Su a thumbs up, and they worked together to carefully put the things in the drawer back in their original places. After confirming again and again that there was no problem, they left the imperial study.

Mu Yunge pulled Zhao Jingchen and lowered his voice, "Now that you're in the palace, do you want to go see your mother?"

Zhao Jingchen hesitated for a moment and then shook his head. "Forget it, let's just leave the palace and return home. That person is very suspicious, so let's not cause any more trouble."

Mu Yunge had no choice but to nod, "Then hurry up and leave before anyone finds you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a shout: "Who is it? Who's over there?"

Zhao Jingchen and Ling Feng quickly took one person each and retreated to hide behind a pile of obstacles.

Just as they hid, they heard footsteps coming towards where they were hiding.

How to do?

Being discovered is a small matter, but having the plan ruined is a big matter.

Mu Yunge and An Du bent down as much as possible, held their breath, and their palms were full of sweat due to nervousness.

Zhao Jingchen and Ling Feng sensed something was wrong, quickly observed the terrain, and then each of them took one person and quickly left the place.

Shortly after they left, several patrolling guards walked to the place where the previous people had hidden. After a careful check, they found nothing.

One of the guards glanced around desperately, frowning and saying, "Strange, did I hear it wrong? That's impossible, I clearly heard the sound just now."

A leader asked worriedly, "Are you serious?"

"Really, you know, I've always had good hearing."

"Then everyone, please search carefully around here. We can't be careless about this matter and can't make any mistakes."

Several people were preparing to split up and expand the search area.

sudden.

"Meow, meow..." A few cat calls stopped everyone's search.

At this moment, a big tabby cat, frightened by the actions of several people, suddenly jumped out from its hiding place and disappeared from their sight in a few seconds.

"It's just a wild cat. What a fuss! It made me nervous for a bit."

"There's a wild cat, that means I heard it right. There was indeed movement."

"Well, it's not your fault. I'm afraid the capital city is not peaceful tonight. Otherwise, the Dragon Shadow Guard wouldn't..."

The leader shouted, "How dare you discuss the Dragon Shadow Guards? Do you want to die?"

"I'm the one who talked too much!"

The guards walked away whispering, and Zhao Jingchen and his companions then appeared and hurried out of the palace.

Back at Prince Zhan's Mansion, everyone was waiting in the front yard. Seeing that the few people had returned safely, they breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around.

An Nan hugged Mu Yunge's arm and said, "Miss, tonight's show was wonderful, especially the part where the two masters fought with that commander. It was really enjoyable to watch."

"So, did you learn anything?"

Annan chuckled and said, "I only remember two moves." He demonstrated them to Mu Yunge.

Li Mingzhao stepped closer to Zhao Jingchen and said, "Your Highness, we captured about fifty of them alive, and destroyed nearly two hundred.

Then Mingxiao accused us of bullying them with our large numbers, saying that our victory was unfair.

They are so shameless that they came to our house and asked us to teach them the rules.

The most infuriating thing was that he also said that Your Highness was dying and they were just helping him get rid of it sooner. His subordinates were so angry that they slapped him in the face.

Humph, just wait and see, I will definitely let him taste the power of my eighteen martial arts and make him afraid of me whenever he sees me."

Zhao Jingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you angry with him? He's afraid of suffering and is deliberately provoking you, hoping that you will kill him in a rage.

Is the house clean? There are female guests in the house, so there can't be any bloody smell."

Li Mingzhao patted his chest proudly and said, "It's been cleaned up. Even the bloodstains have been washed away. I guarantee there will be no bloody smell."

With hundreds of secret guards, cleaning up the scene wouldn't be an easy task, right?

"Okay, thank you all for your hard work. We should be alright tonight, so go back and get some rest. Ge'er, how about we take a day off tomorrow? I'll have Manager Qu prepare some delicious food to treat you all."

Mu Yunge nodded, "Okay, we dealt that guy a heavy blow tonight, which is good news. Let's take a day off tomorrow to recuperate.

But I'm going to cause trouble for Manager Qu."

Chief Steward Qu waved his hands repeatedly: "Miss Mu and the girls are here, the palace has become much more lively, this old servant is very happy, it's not a bother, not a bother at all."

"Then I'll have to trouble Chief Manager Qu."

Killing nearly two hundred Dragon Shadow Guards was a revenge for himself, the servants who came with the dowry, and all the members of the Mu family.

That night, Mu Yunge was happy and slept soundly. The bloody scene from the past did not appear in his dreams again...
