The sun climbed higher and higher, and then slowly set at its highest point, and the warm orange afterglow sprinkled the sky, staining the clouds with color, and the time and evening.

Peach Juan walked towards her room with the pastries, when a carrier pigeon caught Peach Juan's eye.

She pretended to look at the scenery and looked around quietly, and saw that no one was there, so she put down the pastry and stretched out her right hand, and the carrier pigeon in the air landed on the arm of the peach juan.

Taojuan took the letter tube off the pigeon's leg and poured out the letter paper inside, only to see that it was briefly written what would happen in Mufu tonight, and asked her to protect Shen Ling.

Putting away the letterhead, Taojuan picked up the pastry again, pretending that nothing had happened, and continued to walk towards Shen Ling's room.

The door was slammed, and Shen Ling put away the new poisonous Gu that was being cultivated.

She walked to the door and opened the door, and the beautiful face of the peach cuckoo appeared in front of her.

"You're here."

Tao Juan smiled skillfully and lifted the pastry plate in her hand up.

"Madam, this is the slave's new lotus cake today, can you taste it?"

Shen Ling looked and saw a layer of lotus leaves on the bottom of the plate held by the peach juan, on which were placed lotus-shaped pastries, pink and white, and a few green lotus seeds were placed next to the pastries.

In this scorching summer, Shen Ling, who originally had no appetite, was instantly attracted by the delicate shape of this pastry.

She reached out and picked up a piece and took a bite, the pastry was delicate, melted in her mouth, and the sweet taste suddenly spread between her mouth, like a summer evening breeze, refreshing people's hearts.

Shen Ling was very surprised, "I didn't expect you to have such skills, if you open a pastry shop in Kyoto, there will be a lot of people queuing up to buy it."

"If Madame likes it, the slave will make it for you."

"If only you had a heart."

Taojuan poured a cup of tea for Shen Ling, and said as if unintentionally: "This season, it's good to take a boat across the lake at night, the slave knows a place where the stars enter the lake at night, but it's beautiful, the ingredients of the lotus cake are still taken from there."

"Oh? Really?"

Shen Ling picked up the tea, looked at the green brown inside, and lowered her eyes. new

This is making lotus cakes again, and Fan Hu's is again, it is difficult for her not to think about it, and according to Taojuan's thunderous means to deal with Mu Yaoyao today, this person may not be as pure and kind as it seems.

Taojuan didn't know that she had already exposed her feet, she saw that Shen Ling was interested, and took advantage of the situation to ask, "Yes, I don't know if Madame is willing to go on a night tour of Fan Lake with the slave tonight."

"What night trip to Van Lake? Where do you want to take my sister? Believe it or not, I let the snake bite you?" A clear voice interjected into the conversation between the two.

Zhu Qing walked slowly and looked at Taojuan vigilantly.

Seeing Zhu Qing's demeanor, Shen Ling reached out and pinched his little face, "Don't scare Taojuan."

Zhu Qing glared at Taojuan, and then raised a sweet smile at Shen Ling.

"Sister, I'm going too!"

Taojuan hadn't forgotten Zhuqing's snake yet, she had the heart to stop Zhuqing, "Little boy, I have something to say to Madame, isn't it inappropriate for you to go."

Zhu Qing didn't care, "Is there anything I can't listen to? Or do you have other thoughts about my sister?"

Taojuan was dumbfounded, she did have other thoughts.

Seeing this, Shen Ling smiled and comforted Zhu Qing, "Okay, since you want to go, let's go together at night."

She wanted to see if Taojuan really wanted to be with her tonight, or if she had another purpose.

Although Taojuan was reluctant to let Zhuqing pass, Shen Ling had already spoken, so it was difficult for her to stop it.

That night, the trio headed to the lake.

The stars are reflected in the clear water, the boats drift along the water, and the summer evening breeze blows slowly, which is very pleasant.

Momo Juan smiled and asked, "Madame is still satisfied?"

Shen Ling praised from the bottom of her heart, "Not bad."

As for Zhu Qing, his eyes have been on Shen Ling's body, and he is afraid that he has not paid attention to the beautiful scenery around him at all.

with the three of them

The peace here is different, and the dark tide in Mufu is turbulent at the moment.

The killers hired by Mu Feng and the subordinates of the second prince changed their clothes and sneaked into the courtyard of Jing Xi, and they secretly became the guards at the door and hid around.

Today, the subordinate who passed the message to Mu Feng to the second prince walked into the Jingxi room with a cloth.

"Master National Teacher, this is something that the county lord ordered the slave to send, and specially explained that the slave must let the National Teacher take a look."

"County Lord?" Jing Ci put down the affairs in his hand and reached out to take the cloth that the person was holding.

At this moment, the hands of the subordinate who had been hidden under the cloth appeared, and the cold light of the blade flashed in front of Jing Xi's eyes.

The subordinate stabbed at Jing Ci with a short dagger in his hand, Jing Ci's pupils tightened, and he raised the cloth to block the next attack of the comer.

Seeing that he didn't succeed in a single blow, the subordinate whistled loudly, and suddenly many people in black poured into the door.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jing Xi broke out of the window, and the moment he landed, he took out the signal flare in his arms and launched it into the air.

Shen Ling, who was originally sitting on the bow of the boat enjoying the scenery, suddenly had a flash of fire in his eyes, and a red signal exploded in the air, which was a signal dedicated to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Shen Ling's gaze sank, and he quickly got up, "Something happened to Mufu! We've got to get back quickly."

Taojuan's face stiffened, and then recovered, she smiled and relieved, "Madame is too worried, there are so many people in Mu Mansion, how can something happen, which family may have set off the fireworks."

Shen Ling ignored it, picked up the oars, and rowed towards the side of the boat.

"Now that there is a big drought in the county, no one will pick this time to set off fireworks."

This time, Shen Ling did not hire boating man, but he was afraid that Taojuan would have ulterior intentions, and when the time came, innocent people would be involved.

Seeing that Shen Ling insisted on going back, Taojuan hesitated several times in her heart, and finally decided to risk revealing her identity and knock Shen Ling unconscious.

But before she could do it, she felt that her body was soft and she couldn't exert any strength.

Taojuan couldn't believe that Shen Ling still had this kind of means, which was not at all the same as the rumors.

However, Taojuan thought about it carefully, but still didn't feel that she had any exposure.

She pretended to be puzzled, "Ma'am, what are you doing here?"

Shen Ling ignored her pretending appearance and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

"What are you talking about, ma'am? Why can't the slave and maid understand?"

"If I can bring you down, there are a thousand ways to make you miserable."

Shen Ling took the poisonous Gu that had just bitten the peach cuckoo in his hand, "You say it or not."

Looking at the Gu worm in Shen Ling's hand, Taojuan still couldn't hold back after all, she still had the people she wanted to see, and she definitely couldn't die here.

Taojuan's gaze was fixed, "I am the person of the prince, and I have no ill will towards my wife."

Shen Ling sneered, "There is no malice, but there is no intention."
