"I know. I have someone following you secretly."

"Then have someone dig up the bodies, identify them, and send them back to their homes at an opportune time. Then spread the news of what happened in Fengyi Palace yesterday."

"Yes."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he got off the carriage when he passed the next corner.

Li Shu then looked at Qinghong and Cuiwei, whose faces were pale, and asked, "Are you scared by Lin Yuan's methods?"

Although the two men's faces were filled with unconcealable fear, they both shook their heads.

Cuiwei continued in a trembling voice, "If it weren't for Lin Yuan, the young lady wouldn't be where she is right now. If anything had happened to the young lady, I would never have survived! So, let alone the fact that Lin Yuan had only killed a dozen people, even if he had caused a river of blood to flow in Fengyi Palace, I would only admire his ability and not fear him at all. I'm just shocked that the Queen used to treat the young lady so well, but now she would use such despicable and cruel means to deal with her!"

Qinghong clenched her hands and nodded vigorously the moment Cuiwei finished speaking.

She was just shocked as to why the Queen would treat the young lady in that way.

At the same time, she was also worried that the queen would use even more terrible means to deal with the young lady in the future.

But they both don't know martial arts.

All they can do for the young lady is to take care of her food, clothing, and daily life.

But as long as danger comes, they are all by the lady's side, and they will definitely stand in front of the lady to protect her!

Li Shu looked back and forth at the two of them and continued, "I actually know exactly what frightened you. I deliberately asked if you were frightened by Lin Yuan, just to let you know that Lin Yuan and the Peacock Terrace behind him are powerful enough to protect me. You don't need to be overly alarmed. I could have asked Lin Yuan to avoid you and talk to me about this, but I think it's time to let you know that the Emperor and the Empress are no longer my support."

Hearing this, Qinghong and Cuiwei exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Don't worry, Miss. From now on, we two servants will never show any strangeness in front of outsiders! We will also be doubly careful in what we say and do!"

Li Shu nodded, then turned and saw Nanny Gui secretly wiping away tears. She quickly took Nanny Gui's hand and whispered to comfort her, "I'm fine this time. It's the Emperor who might lose the support of his people. Nanny, you should smile."

"Well, Miss is right. It is the old slave who is confused."

"Mammy, your hands seem to be a little rougher than before. When you go back, take the bottle of hand ointment that Lin Yuan gave you."

"How can that be? That was made by Lin Yuan for the young lady! And I asked Lin Yuan, and he said that the ointment used many precious herbs and spices, and it took him a lot of time to make. It would be a waste to use it on my rough hands! I can just use the hand ointment that the young lady didn't finish using before!"

"..."

Li Shu frowned, but said nothing more.

Because she remembered that the queen used to send her a bunch of ointments for hands, face and body every month, but she relied on her natural beauty and didn't like to use them because she thought it was troublesome and had saved up a lot of them.

Although the effects may not be as good as those made by Lin Yuan, they are also top quality.

What she didn't expect was that when they returned to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, Ning Jin was already waiting in front of her bamboo garden with an anxious and worried look on his face.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, he took a few steps forward and asked loudly, "I just heard that more than a dozen secret guards were killed in Fengyi Palace last night. Shushu, are you okay?"

"If I had something to do, I wouldn't be able to come back now."

Li Shu answered calmly, but she was a little surprised in her heart.

They at Peacock Stage are moving too fast!

It's spread in such a short time!

Is she still far from understanding the strength of Peacock Terrace?

What she didn't know was that before Lin Yuan took action last night, he had already sent someone to send the message out of the palace.

By the time the maids and nannies of Fengyi Palace saw what was happening in the west hall and started shouting and screaming, the incident had already spread to all the major black markets in the capital.

After a night of preparation, by now, most people in Beijing already knew about it.

It's just that the incident happened in the Queen's Fengyi Palace, and the Queen has been the apple of the Emperor's eye lately, so no one dared to talk about it openly.

But today, after the news that all the palace maids and nannies had witnessed the bodies of the secret guards being hung from the beams and one of the secret guards having an affair with a cook beneath the bodies had been silenced, the capital was in an uproar.

When Yin Su received the news, the situation had already developed to the point where it was difficult to resolve.

Even the specific details of which palace maids and nannies had died had spread throughout the capital.

Fortunately, Eunuch Yuan had already selected a dozen people with similar body shapes to those palace maids and nannies last night.

Yin Su asked the ten or so people to disguise themselves as the palace maids and nannies, and asked them to visit the homes of the palace maids and nannies, and then arranged a large number of people to spread this matter in the capital.

By the evening, the situation seemed to be calming down.

But that's just the surface.

Because just before the people disguised as the palace maids and maids arrived at their home, the bodies of the palace maids and maids had just been delivered.

Even though some of them are not valued by their families.

However, several of them were sent into the palace after being carefully cultivated by their families.

One of them was even the prince's enlightenment court lady.

Although the Queen brought her back from the Eastern Palace because she aspired to become the head aunt of Fengyi Palace and she had no connection with the Crown Prince any longer, her family still took her body to the Eastern Palace as soon as possible.

And most of the people in the East Palace are Yin Su's people.

When Yin Su received the news, he was so angry that he threw the memorial at Eunuch Yuan.

"I asked you to clean up the mess, and that's exactly what you did! Not only did the news leak out, spreading throughout the capital, but they even had the body dug up!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! Even if I die a thousand times, I cannot escape the blame! But I don't know how the news leaked out! I don't know how the burial location was revealed! I used only trusted confidants! It must be the villain who sneaked into Fengyi Palace and killed people who was hiding in Fengyi Palace last night and saw everything! I hope Your Majesty can see clearly!"

"..."

Yin Su glanced at Eunuch Yuan who was crawling in front of him, feeling extremely annoyed.

Eunuch Yuan is still trustworthy.

So he actually knew that those things were done by that extremely hateful little thief.

But he couldn't catch the little thief, so he could only take his anger out on Eunuch Yuan.

Not long after, a guard hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you."

Yin Su narrowed his eyes and, without asking Eunuch Yuan to get up, said directly, "Let him in."

At the same time, in the Peacock Terrace, Lin'an and Lin Hu were kneeling upright in front of Lin Yuan.

Both of their ears were red.

They were all dragged out of Kong Sanniang's room by Lin Yuan, grabbing their ears.

However, Lin Hu hid from Lin Yuan in Kong Sanniang's room for the entire day.

Lin'an left his post without permission, sneaked back from Heng'an Palace and stayed in Kong Sanniang's room with Linhu for the whole day.
