Taojuan bit her lip and said stiffly, "The slave doesn't understand what you're talking about."

"Don't understand?" Shen Ling sneered, "I really think I can't do anything about you? Have you forgotten Mu Feng?"

Thinking of Shen Ling's unpredictable method of manipulating the dead, Taojuan couldn't help but shudder.

"I say! I said!" Seeing that she couldn't cope with it now, Taojuan's lowered eyes flickered, and she was ready to find a reason to deal with Shen Ling first.

There was a deep meaning in Shen Ling's eyes, "You'd better be honest, or I'll have to ask you to eat bugs."

As he spoke, Shen Ling flipped his palm, and a fluffy insect covered with black thorns curled up in Shen Ling's hand.

"See? This is the truth Gu, after eating this, people will only tell the truth." She smiled and introduced, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Taojuan saw that the black worm's scalp was numb, and she thought that if Shen Ling fed this worm to her, then she really wanted to die.

She didn't dare to play tricks, and said honestly, "Slave maid...... The slave just passed on the fact that Madame used poison Gu to manipulate Lord Mu."

Shen Ling pursed her lips, she didn't shy away from Taojuan at that time, she wanted to show Taojuan her strength and deter Taojuan and the people behind Taojuan, of course, she didn't care about Taojuan spreading this matter.

However, the action of Taojuan delivering the message itself should make people wary.

After a while, Shen Ling raised her eyes, there was no joy or anger on her face, and she said calmly: "The reason why I still left you in the mansion after you revealed your identity is just because you have no ill will towards me, but you are so restless, I can't keep you here."

"Although you are my maid, you are the body that the national teacher redeemed for you." Shen Ling thought about everything, and then beckoned to the Xijian next to him, "Xijian, Taojuan will be handed over to you to dispose of."

Taojuan bit her lip, her face was sad, in fact, Shen Ling treated her quite well, if it wasn't for her last resort, she didn't want to betray Shen Ling.

"Madame and the national teacher treat me well, but the slave and maid leaked the matter about the lady, this matter is the slave and the maid is wrong, even if the lady orders the slave and the maid to be executed, the slave and the maid have absolutely no complaints."

She didn't beg for mercy for herself, she just raised her head and looked at Shen Ling earnestly, "But please madam, for the sake of you and my master and servant, save the beloved of the slave from the hands of the prince, her name is Luo Yuheng."

Shen Ling raised his eyes, "Luo Yuheng?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Sister Yuheng in her hands, how could the slave and maid work for the prince!" A trace of hatred flashed in Taojuan's eyes, and Shen Ling quickly caught the emotion in Taojuan's eyes.

Her heart moved, "I can rescue Luo Yuheng for you."

Taojuan's face was full of joy when she heard this, and she thanked her happily, "Thank you, madam!"

Shen Ling raised his hand, "Don't rush to thank you first, I have conditions."

"What conditions!"

As long as she can save Sister Yuheng and prevent Sister Yuheng from suffering at the hands of the world, she can agree to anything, even if she wants her to die.

The corners of Shen Ling's lips curled, revealing a smile, and she said unhurriedly, "I want you to continue to deliver the news, but I have the final say on the content of this news."

Taojuan frowned, "No, the slave maid can't promise you, if the slave maid transmits false news and is discovered, the prince will definitely punish Sister Yuheng!"

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," Shen Ling didn't rush at all, and persuaded slowly, "Here are all people I trust, as long as we don't say anything, others won't know." c

Taojuan's face hesitated, she didn't dare to gamble with Luo Yuheng's life.

"I never make unequal deals, if you don't agree to me, then I won't save your sister Yuheng." Shen Ling's eyes were gloomy, and he reminded: "At that time, as soon as you die, Luo Yuheng will be useless to the prince, so what do you think the prince will do to Luo Yuheng?"

Taojuan's face suddenly turned blue, and she immediately figured out the secret.

She bit her lip and nodded ruthlessly, "Okay, I'll grant your request."

The corners of Shen Ling's lips hooked slightly, and she knew that Taojuan would definitely agree.

"Now, it's your turn." Shen Lingduan

Picking up the tea on the table, glancing at the foam on the tea surface, the heat blurred her eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

Thinking of the information he got a few days ago, Taojuan reported, "The prince doesn't fully believe me, I only know that the prince is preparing to ask the saint to resign and come over to cure the disaster together."

"When?" Shen Ling looked at the turquoise tea in the teacup, which was faintly reflected in her frowning eyebrows.

"About a month."

"Why did he come here?"

"The slave doesn't know."

Shen Ling put down the teacup and pinched her eyebrows, things became more and more complicated, she came to Muyang County with Jing Xi to level the drought, but she didn't expect that so many forces would be involved.

"That's it, the prince will come to Muyang County sooner or later, and there will be a way to test his purpose."

Should ask about Taojuan, Shen Ling had already asked about it, she got up and said to Xijian, "Tell the guard at the door, Taojuan will go out in the future, there is no need to stop it."

Taojuan hurriedly thanked her, "Mrs. Xie."

Shen Ling ignored her and just left with Zhuqing and Xijian.

On the way, Xi Jian repeatedly opened his mouth to ask questions, but looked at Shen Ling but closed his mouth again.

Shen Ling looked at his movements, and she smiled, "Are you trying to ask me why I want to restore Taojuan's freedom?"

Seeing that Shen Ling saw it, Xi Jian scratched his head embarrassedly, "My subordinates are stupid, and I asked the county lord to solve my subordinates' doubts."

"A person who can betray his original owner for the sake of his beloved may betray me again for the same reason."

Zhu Qing listened for a long time, and her little face was full of doubts, "Then why does my sister still have people not allowed to stop Taojuan from going out?"

"If she doesn't pretend to trust her, how can she show her feet?"

Shen Ling didn't fully believe in Taojuan, and the reason why he restored Taojuan's freedom was to see if Taojuan was really rebelled by himself.

Retracting his thoughts, Shen Ling patted Xijian on the shoulder, "The guards at the door can let Taojuan leave, but this secret eye will be arranged by you."

Xi Jian instantly understood the meaning of Shen Ling's words, and he patted his chest, "This matter is wrapped up in his subordinates."

A busy day passed, and Taojuan lay on the bed after washing, closed his eyes and was about to sleep, but the window was opened, and a figure burrowed into Taojuan's room.

Taojuan sat up instantly and looked at the person standing in front of him.

"Why are you here, but the prince has a new command?"

Hu Bugui looked at Taojuan condescendingly, "I saw the county lord go to your room today, what did you say?"

Taojuan remained silent, "Yesterday when I was delivering the message, I was discovered by Zhuqing, and the county lord asked me about it."
