After Qianli returned, he told Gu Yunran the information he had found: "Second Madam, I found out that Xiaoqian and the maidservant of the Queen are twin sisters."

"There was no correspondence between them, but they both came from Nianci Temple."

Hearing this, Gu Yunran understood instantly. She clenched the white jade cup tightly in her hand: "That means the Second Miss has always been in contact with the Queen, and Gu Qingyue is behind her."

Qianli nodded: "Exactly."

"Okay, let's not alert the enemy yet."

"yes."

Gu Yunran pointed at the two nuns lying in the corner and said, "Take them back. Maybe we can get some useful information from them."

"Yes, I know what to do."

Qianli took out a porcelain bottle from his body, poured out two black pills and stuffed them into the mouths of the two nuns.

The two nuns were trembling with fear.

"I don't want to eat."

"I don't want to eat."

The two of them pursed their lips and were unwilling to open their mouths. Qianli held the pill in one hand and pinched their chins with the other hand, stuffing the pill into their mouths.

The two nuns screamed in fright, then vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Ruizhu's eyes widened, full of reproach: "Qianli, how could you poison them?"

"Second Grandma said keeping them around plays an important role."

"Shh!"

Qianli made a gesture to silence the others. "Saying that we're taking them back directly will definitely arouse their suspicion."

Ruizhu immediately understood and gave Qianli a thumbs up: "You are very thoughtful."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. Ruizhu cleared her throat and shouted, "How dare these two bitches drug my grandma!"

“Death is not a pity!”

Princess Pingyang and Mu Qianxue, who heard the sound outside, stopped and looked at each other.

"Looks like we've failed again." Princess Pingyang muttered softly, glaring at Mu Qianxue unhappily. "What kind of people are you looking for? They can't get anything done."

Mu Qianxue lowered her head: "I hired the wrong person. I will be more careful next time."

"Hmph!" Princess Pingyang snorted coldly, "If you can't handle this New Year's Eve palace banquet well, you'll have to answer for it yourself."

Mu Qianxue lowered her head and said softly, "Yes."

"Hmph!" Princess Pingyang snorted coldly, "What a useless thing."

She sarcastically said something to Mu Qianxue and walked towards the yard.

Mu Qianxue looked at Princess Pingyang's arrogant back. Her eyes were terribly gloomy, and her hands hanging at her sides were creaking.

Chang Xiao approached Mu Qianxue and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely get back at you."

"Who does she think she is to embarrass you, young lady?"

Mu Qianxue took a deep breath to calm her anger: "I shouldn't have cooperated with her in the first place. Now that she has something on me, she dares to show off in front of me."

"Forget it, I'll endure it for a while. When I'm done, I'll take it back."

Chang Xiao lowered his head, his eyelashes drooping slightly, concealing his emotions.

"Oh, what's going on?" Princess Pingyang walked into the courtyard and saw two nuns lying on the ground, bleeding from the corners of their mouths. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "What have they done wrong?"

Gu Yunran stood up and bowed slightly to Princess Pingyang: "Your Highness, I greet you!"

Princess Pingyang waved her hand: "No thanks."

She looked at the two nuns lying on the ground and asked Gu Yunran, "What happened to them?"

"Dead." Gu Yunran said calmly.

Princess Pingyang frowned. "Why? Is the Second Madam of the Mu family such a reckless person?"

Gu Yunran said, "They tried to murder me, and I discovered them..." At this point, Gu Yunran paused, looking at Princess Pingyang, her tone full of warning, "This is what happened to them for trying to murder me."

Gu Yunran stared at her with such a cold gaze, as if he could see through people's hearts. Princess Pingyang actually felt a little afraid. She hurriedly turned her face away, avoiding Gu Yunran's gaze, and smiled faintly: "Why are you staring at me like that? As if I am the one who made the mistake."

"Forget it, I won't bother with you." Princess Pingyang smoothed her hair. "It's getting late. I should go back to the palace."

Before leaving, Princess Pingyang glanced at her personal maid Cai Xuan.

Cai Xuan understood what she meant, and loosened her hand slightly, and the handkerchief flew out and landed right next to the two nuns.

"My handkerchief."

Cai Xuan helped to pick up the handkerchief, and took this opportunity to calmly reach out and feel the breath of the two nuns. Finding that they were really dead, she quickly retracted her hand and walked to Princess Pingyang with the handkerchief.

Princess Pingyang then said, "It's just a handkerchief. If it's lost, it's lost. I'll give you a few more when we get back to the palace."

Cai Xuan said, "Thank you, Princess, but this handkerchief has a special meaning to me. It is a relic left to me by my mother."

Princess Pingyang nodded calmly: "I see, then I have to pick it up."

As they were talking, they walked out of the courtyard. As soon as they left the courtyard, Princess Pingyang asked, "How is it?"

Cai Xuan whispered softly, "He is indeed dead."

Princess Pingyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Mu Qianxue is not too stupid. She didn't let the two girls live."

"Let's go back to the palace first."

"yes."

That's the backyard over there.

Mu Qianxue turned pale with fear when she saw the two nuns bleeding from all seven orifices. She looked at Gu Yunran, her eyes filled with worry: "Second sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Gu Yunran spread his hands: "If something happens to me, can I still stand here?"
