Late at night, Taojuan went to the agreed place.

It didn't take long for a person dressed as a person from Mu Mansion to come over, his name was Hu Bugui, and he was the eyeliner that the prince had planted in Mu Mansion, and he had been waiting by Mu Feng's side before.

On the one hand, Hu Bugui is responsible for transmitting the information of Mu Mansion to the prince, and on the other hand, he is looking at the peach cuckoo for the prince.

Seeing the visitor, Taojuan asked directly, "My identity has been exposed, does the prince have any instructions on what to do next?"

Hu Bugui slowly took out a porcelain vase from his arms and handed it to Taojuan, "Take it."

The peach cuckoo took it, and the blue and white porcelain surface was painted with a bewitching oleander pattern.

If she remembered correctly, this was a bottle used to hold poison, and once she ate it, the meridians of her body would break little by little, and the pain was extreme, and many people often died of pain before the effect of the poison was fully attacked.

Taojuan frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Hu Bugui's face was expressionless, and he gave the order of the prince, "Go back to Mufu and find a way to give the medicine to the national teacher."

"Back to Mufu?" Taojuan was slightly stunned, and then shook her head, "Now that Madame knows my identity, if I go back, she will definitely not let me go, I can't go back."

"Hmph, that's not up to you." Hu Bugui sneered, and said quietly, "Don't forget, Luo Yuheng is still in the hands of the prince."

Luo Yuheng is Taojuan's beloved, if it weren't for Luo Yuheng falling into the hands of the prince, Taojuan would not have obeyed the son's orders and approached Shen Ling.

She asked worriedly, "How is Sister Yuheng doing now?"

Hu Bugui leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, "Don't worry, as long as you obediently listen to the words of the prince, no one will do anything to Luo Yuheng, but if you don't want to......

The words stopped abruptly here, and with the meaningful eyes of Shanghu Bugui, Taojuan knew very well what would happen to Luo Yuheng if she didn't do what she was told.

"I see." Despite her reluctance, Taojuan still pulled the poison back into her sleeve pocket.

Hu Bugui reminded, "You should go back."

Taojuan gritted her teeth and turned around and walked in the direction of Mu Mansion.

When she returns to Mufu, Shen Ling may not do anything to her, but if she doesn't return, Sister Yuheng will definitely die.

Mu Mansion.

It was supposed to be a resting point, but the house was still brightly lit.

Shen Ling stayed by Jing Xi's side, and Zhu Qing sat on the bench next to him, but his face was dark and he didn't look happy at all.

After the matter in the house was over, Zhuqing immediately went to the boat by the lake, but he didn't see the figure of Taojuan, only found the rope that had been cut by the sharp blade.

Although Shen Ling didn't blame Zhu Qing for this incident, Zhu Qing was still uncomfortable in her heart.

He didn't do what his sister had explained, and he should have dragged Taojuan with him at that time.

The candle flame in the lampshade crackled and sparked, and Zhu Qing looked at Jing Xi who was lying unconscious on the bed, and felt even more uncomfortable.

He looked at Shen Ling's blue and black eyes, and comforted: "Sister, you go to rest and rest, he can't die, when he wakes up, naturally someone will come over and tell you, it's useless for you to guard this sick seedling now."

Shen Ling shook his head, "You don't have to accompany me here, go back first."

Zhu Qing hugged his arms angrily, and didn't need to move.

At this moment, there was two knocks on the door, and the voice of the secret guard reached the ears of the two of them through the door.

"County Lord, Taojuan is here."

Shen Ling frowned and got up, and Zhu Qing also stood up angrily.

When you open the door, you can see Taojuan, she stood behind the secret guard, and changed Shen Ling with a sneer.

Zhu Qing suppressed a fire in her heart, and when she had nowhere to vent her worries, Taojuan bumped into her.

"How dare you come back! It seems that I really don't take what I said to you on the boat seriously." As he spoke, Zhu Qing stretched out his hand to the sleeve cage.

Thinking of Zhu Qing's threat on the boat, Taojuan shuddered, but still did not flinch.

Seeing that Zhu Qing was about to release the poisonous snake, Shen Ling hurriedly stopped, "Zhu Qing

Stop."

"Sister!"

"I have something to ask her." Shen Ling narrowed his eyes and beckoned to Taojuan, "Follow me."

Seeing this, Taojuan quickly followed, and Shen Ling took her to a room where the body of the black-clothed man was placed.

"This is the corpse of today's assassins, is there anything in it that you recognize?"

In order to leave a good impression on Shen Ling, and in order to keep Shen Ling from killing her, Taojuan was very cooperative.

She carefully observed the corpses, and then replied, "Madam, these are the secret guards of the second prince, look here."

Taojuan pointed to the bloody mole on the back of the corpse's hand, "These spider-like bloodies are the basis used by the second prince to control them."

She turned around and looked at Shen Ling seriously, "Madam, I am different from the second prince, the prince sent me here to let me protect my wife, and the reason why I took you out of the mansion is because I don't want you to be implicated."

Shen Ling didn't fully believe Taojuan's words, but Taojuan had no ill will towards her for the time being, if Taojuan wanted to trick her out of the house and kill her, then there was no need to take her to the lake.

After all, the lake has an unobstructed view, and the killer can't hide his body well, but is very easy to find.

Despite this, Taojuan is a spy of the prince of the world after all, and Shen Ling does not dare to take it lightly until Taojuan's purpose is clear.

Shen Lingchao ordered the guards who came with him, "Take Taojuan down, don't let her go out of the house."

Taojuan's heart had been hanging in the air, trembling, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Shen Ling's words.

It seems that Shen Ling will not do anything to her for a while, so she will have a chance to carry out the plan of the prince.

The moon sinks and the sun shines, bringing the continent that had been silent all night to life again.

Shen Ling went to see Jing Ci as soon as he got up, Jing Ci still didn't wake up, he was too seriously injured this time and needed to recuperate.

After carefully re-medicating Jing Ci, Shen Ling came out of Jing Ci's room, and someone from the National Teacher's Mansion told her the news she had collected.

After dealing with these things, Shen Ling went to Mu Yaoyao's room.

I saw Mu Yaoyao leaning on her knees and sitting on the bed, her eyes empty and her eyes blank.

Shen Ling glanced at her and asked the guard who was taking Mu Yaoyao away, "She's always been like this?"

"She muttered a phrase over and over again last night, and fell asleep not long after she was sent back to her room, but since she woke up this morning, she has been sitting there and has not moved."

"That's easy." With that, Shen Ling went out and called two maids over.

"You go and give Miss Mu a good grooming and dressing."

The maid didn't dare to refuse, and they all responded, "Yes."

Now the guards of the National Teacher's Mansion have surrounded Mu Mansion, Mu Feng and Mu Qiao are dead, Mu Xiaoxiao has become like this again, and now Shen Ling and Jing Xi have the final say.
