Liu Zhu was the leader of the ten maids who were sent here earlier.

Xiaozhu paused slightly.

Then he pretended not to hear and continued walking.

Seeing this, Madam Liu suddenly stopped.

After Xiao Zhu walked for a distance, she realized that Aunt Liu hadn't caught up with her. She stopped and looked back. "Why aren't you leaving, Aunt Liu? The kitchen is not far ahead."

"You haven't answered my question yet. Where's Liu Zhu? I looked around today, but I didn't seem to see Liu Zhu and the others. Could it be that they aren't serving Madam?"

"Oh, you're talking about Sister Liu Zhu."

"They are all in the lady's yard! You also know that the old lady is seriously ill, and the lady has been serving the old lady, so Sister Liuzhu has no chance to come..." Before he finished speaking, a hidden weapon shot towards Xiaozhu's face.

Xiao Zhu's pupils shrank.

He instinctively moved his feet and quickly dodged the hidden weapon by turning sideways.

"You are not Xiaozhu!"

Aunt Liu didn't notice it at first, until she came in with the sweet soup and said those words...

Seeing that he had been exposed, Xiao Zhu stopped pretending: "You old man are quite vigilant, but it's good. Now I don't have to pretend anymore. It really made me feel frustrated."

As he spoke, he twisted his neck.

The figure that was so petite just now, twisting and stretching, gradually began to grow taller...

"Bone Shrinking Technique?"

Aunt Liu's pupils trembled slightly.

This skill of shrinking bones is not so easy to master!

And looking at the gradually stretching figure, it turned out to be... a man!

"Who are you?"

Madam Liu stared at 'Xiao Zhu' warily, with a dagger in her hand under her sleeve, and the maid behind her also took out a knife from under her sleeve and held it in her hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhu quickly raised his hands and said, "Calm down, let's talk it out! Don't throw knives and hidden weapons all the time. It's too bloody. I'm a coward..."

Next second.

He then flashed in front of Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu reacted extremely quickly. Just as she raised her hand to fight, a handful of powder was sprinkled in front of her... The man had no intention of fighting her at all. He just sprinkled the powder and ran away...

Aunt Liu covered her nose with her hand and quickly retreated! !

But the maids she brought with her were unable to react in time, and their legs soon went limp...

When Aunt Liu saw this, she turned around without any hesitation and jumped into the air to leave.

But the next moment.

She fell from mid-air just as she jumped up...

'Bang'

It fell directly to the ground.

"How, how could it be..."

Aunt Liu's face was full of disbelief.

She had clearly held her breath the moment before, and with her skills and drug resistance, even the most powerful drugs or cartilage powder could not take effect on her so quickly.

But her body... froze.

It's like being frozen by something.

In the end, even her mouth was so stiff that she couldn't move...

Xiao Zhu walked up to Madam Liu and admired her stiff, turtle-like appearance. "You, the Yun Kingdom's secret guards, have been taking forbidden drugs since childhood. If we only use ordinary drugs like sleeping pills and muscle softening powder, it would be difficult to capture you. That's why we lit turtle incense for you in the main room of Mingshou Hall this morning..."

Loggerhead turtle incense is a very special poison.

It has no effect on ordinary people.

But for the secret guards who have been taking the banned drugs of Yun Kingdom for many years, it is a deadly poison.

However, when the loggerhead turtle incense is lit, it will have a hint of blood.

Most secret guards can smell it.

Moreover, it takes a certain amount of time for the effect of the loggerhead turtle incense to take effect, so under normal circumstances, this loggerhead turtle incense seems to be a bit useless.

However, Madam Yang's 'serious illness' caused a strong smell of blood to fill the house, which perfectly masked the scent of the turtle incense.

Coupled with Aunt Yang's deliberate provocation and anger, the attention of Madam Wei and Madam Liu would naturally be drawn there, and no one would pay much attention to the sea turtle incense burning in all the corners.

So... this was planned from the beginning...

&

at the same time.

Mrs. Wei also felt a little uncomfortable.

Her hand holding the spoon trembled, and the spoon fell into the bowl with a thud.

"What's wrong, mother?"

Wei heard the noise and turned his head to look at her.

Madam Wei opened her mouth to say something, but she found that something seemed to be wrong with her body. She glanced at the sweet soup and threw it to the ground: "Lian'er, don't drink it, it's poisonous!"

What!

Wei reacted and was so frightened that he threw the bowl away. "How can this be poisonous? Could it be that those women from the countryside want to poison me?"

Mrs. Wei did not answer.

Because at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

"Jin'er?"

When Wei saw Yang Huaijin coming in with Yang Zhao, she was stunned at first.

Then Wei hurried forward, "Jin'er, have you finished your exams? How did you do? Why do you look so haggard? Are you tired? Actually, you don't have to come over to pay your respects as soon as you get back. Go wash up and have a good rest..."

At this time, Wei had forgotten about the "poison" just now.

She looked at Yang Huaijin, asking about his well-being with a concerned look on her face.

It wasn't until she heard a muffled groan from Madam Wei that she realized, "Oh right, someone just poisoned us."

"Hurry, don't just stand there, send someone to get a doctor..." Wei hurriedly ordered the people behind her.

Only then... did she notice.

The people who followed in were not maids or servants, but guards like Xu Long...

Wei was stunned.

"Jin'er, what's going on?"

The guards from the outer courtyard cannot enter the inner house at will.

But at a glance.

Not only were there guards behind Yang Huaijin, but even outside, there were also palace soldiers and guards, as if the entire side courtyard had been surrounded by these palace soldiers and guards...

No matter how stupid Wei was, he realized that something was wrong.

Yang Huaijin glanced at Wei in front of him. His eyes were the same as before, clear and rational to the extreme. He looked at Wei and slowly said, "Mother, I had someone put the poison in the sweet soup."

Wh-what?

Wei's eyes gradually showed a trace of disbelief. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, her voice choking and trembling: "Jin'er, you, you want me to die?"

"Don't worry, it's just a poison used to disperse your energy."

"After you eat it, at most you will never be able to practice martial arts and gather internal energy in the future. But at your age now, even if you are allowed to learn, you probably won't be able to learn internal energy, so... there's no need to make such an expression as if you're pierced by thousands of arrows." Yang Zhao's cold and light laugh rang out.

Wei's expression froze for a moment.
