A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

"Go inside first."

Another concubine, named Mei Xue, wore a bright pink dress.

The group exchanged glances and hurried into the inner room.

"The Empress instructed us to sow discord between the Prince and Bai Luoluo, to win the Prince's favor, and to report every detail. Now, we may be under house arrest."

Mei Xue's eyes showed a hint of anxiety.

They were carefully trained by the Empress to keep track of the movements of the princes, while the other princes all had concubines bestowed by the Empress.

How can I gain the prince's favor when I'm imprisoned like this?

The message could not be sent out.

"The Empress ordered us to poison Bai Luoluo, but now we have no chance at all. We don't know what the Prince's intentions are, or why he has imprisoned us."

Dongxia's tone was anxious; if they didn't complete the mission, they would be expendable pawns, and Bai Luoluo had to die.

If Bai Luoluo dies in the Prince's mansion, Gu Yanchi will surely be punished by the Emperor.

"Don't rush, we need to stay calm. Maybe the prince doesn't want to favor us in front of Bai Luoluo. Let's wait and see. After all, no man is immune to beauty. Bai Luoluo is so ugly, the prince must be disgusted by her."

Bilian stroked her cheek, confident in her beauty.

As long as the prince has favored her, he will surely continue to dote on her every day. Bai Luoluo is just relying on the name of the General of the State.

"We will follow Sister Bilian's arrangements."

The four concubines spoke in unison.

"Let's wait a few days and see. Everyone should pack up in peace and not give anything away."

Deep in Bilian's eyes, there was a determination to succeed.

Leng Feng, hiding on the roof beam, overheard most of their conversation.

study.

Upon hearing the report, Gu Yanchi felt a surge of murderous intent.

"Tell the guards that none of the five of them are allowed to step out of the courtyard. Keep a close watch on them for me."

"It's the prince."

The cold wind turned and left.

If they're courting death, then let Luo'er obediently test the medicine.

Bai Luoluo was developing poison when Gu Yanchi arrived at noon.

"Dong dong!"

"It's almost noon. How about Luo'er finishes her lunch before continuing the research?"

Bai Luoluo has already developed the "Intoxicating Itch Powder".

Intoxicating; simply inhaling the powder or ingesting it will cause one to fall into a coma instantly, lasting at least fifteen minutes.

Itch-Itch Powder, as the name suggests, causes unbearable itching upon contact with the body, a torment that lasts for seven days.

The rest of the medication will take a little longer.

"Okay, I'll be right out."

Bai Luoluo tidied up the medicine and came out of the room.

"Luo'er, you've worked hard. Those five people are definitely spies, and they are malicious. They are all the Empress's trusted confidants. Luo'er, you don't need to worry, you can use them to test the medicine."

"Since we've determined he's not a good person, we'll be his guinea pigs from now on."

Bai Luoluo never intended to kill them, and the drug trials wouldn't be too painful; it was merely a minor punishment to serve as a warning.

She had no idea that these men intended to poison her.

If she had known, Bai Luoluo would never have shown mercy.

Although he didn't understand what "white mouse" meant, Gu Yanchi knew it was related to drug testing.

"It's fine as long as Luo'er makes the decision."

The two arrived at the front hall, where the table was laden with food.

Bai Luoluo glanced at them and found that they were all her favorite foods.

"The meal is very sumptuous, thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness."

"You're too kind. Just call me by my name."

Gu Yanchi gestured for her to sit down.

"Then shall I call you Yan Chi?"

Bai Luoluo sat down, removed the veil from her face, revealing her stunning beauty.

“I think calling her Achi would be better.” Gu Yanchi picked up a piece of venison for her and gently placed it on the plate. “Try this meat, it’s very tender.”

Bai Luoluo always felt that she was a little too close to Achi.

But when they thought about how the two of them were about to get married, they realized that it didn't really matter if it was just a name.

"Thank you, Achi, this meat is delicious."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchi beamed with joy.

"Luo'er is too thin, eat more."

At this moment, Xiao Tao and Leng Ye each brought over a dish.

"Xiao Tao, how are you getting along with Leng Ye?"

Bai Luoluo saw Xiao Tao and immediately looked up to ask.

Because Gu Yanchi told her to let Leng Ye take Xiao Tao to familiarize herself with the Prince's mansion.

Bai Luoluo thought that she couldn't take care of Xiao Tao while she was developing poison, so she agreed. After all, Xiao Tao would be living with her here in the future, so it would be good for her to get to know Xiao Tao.

“The cold-blooded guard is very kind to me.”

Xiao Tao replied that, after all, Leng Ye had taken her on a tour of the palace and even gave her peaches to eat.

"That's good. Have you had lunch yet?"

Bai Luoluo said with concern that she treated Xiaotao like a younger sister, but in this world of imperial power, she would slowly guide Xiaotao out of the ranks of servants and to live her own life.

"Guard Leng and I have already eaten, Miss, please enjoy your meal."

Xiao Tao obediently stood on the outside, together with Leng Ye.

Bai Luoluo felt relieved after hearing this and ate her meal in peace. Gu Yanchi kept piling food on her plate, which was already overflowing.

"Achi, you eat too. I'll just pick some food for myself."

Bai Luoluo felt a little embarrassed by the excessive enthusiasm, as she had never been treated like this before.

"Okay, let's eat together."

Seeing that the other person's plate was already full, Gu Yanchi felt that he shouldn't take any more food.

The two finished lunch shortly afterward, and Bai Luoluo continued her research on poisons, while Xiao Tao and Leng Ye stood guard outside the door.

Gu Yanchi went to his study to handle some matters.

The sun quietly sets in the west, painting the horizon red, like a beautiful painting.

Bai Luoluo finally concocted a super-powerful poison, Heart-Eating Powder, which was made by mixing various herbal poisons. Once exposed, it caused excruciating pain, resulting in death with blood flowing from all seven orifices.

"Squeak!"

Holding the prepared poison, Bai Luoluo pushed open the door with satisfaction.

"Young Miss, it's getting late, we must go back now."

"Not coming home at night isn't good for her young lady," Xiao Tao reminded her.

"It's getting late, let's go back now."

Leng Ye bowed slightly to Bai Luoluo and said, "His Highness is waiting for you to have dinner. Why don't you have dinner before you go back?"

"It's getting late. I'll be coming to the Prince's Mansion again tomorrow, so I'll head back now."

Bai Luoluo refused, saying it was too late and it wouldn't be safe to go back.

Perhaps someone wants to kill her; she's going to start practicing internal energy tomorrow.

Bai Luoluo led Xiao Tao straight to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. At this moment, Gu Yanchi came out, holding a food box in his hand.

"These are some pastries for Luo'er to eat on the way."

As Gu Yanchi spoke, he handed the peach to Xiao Tao.

"Thank you, Achi."

That's incredibly thoughtful; he's a total sweetheart.

"I will pick you up in person tomorrow."

After attending court, he went to pick up Bai Luoluo.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Bai Luoluo and Xiao Tao boarded the carriage, with Leng Ye following behind.

In the darkness of night, a horse-drawn carriage travels along a wide street.

Five men in black emerged from the alley, swords in hand, and headed straight for the carriage.

Bai Luoluo felt a murderous intent approaching, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

"There are assassins. Don't get off the carriage."

Just then, Leng Ye's voice came.

Bai Luoluo instantly gripped the dagger in her hand.

"Young Miss, there's an assassin."

Xiao Tao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she immediately stood in front of Bai Luoluo.

"Xiao Tao, don't be afraid."

Bai Luoluo reached out and pulled Xiao Tao behind her, then gently lifted the car door with a dagger.
