Murong Xiao followed Jinse to this boudoir that she was more familiar with than she could be.

This is a water wonderland with pavilions, towers and colorful flowers. The entire complex is built in the middle of the lake.

Because the Marshal's Mansion is located in a remote area and adjacent to the moat, the water source for the entire Marshal's Mansion is the fresh water from the moat outside the city.

Her boudoir, named Yunwu Pavilion, was the best among the five killers.

Below is the lake, in the middle is an exquisite wooden attic, and all around the attic are flowers of various colors. To say that it is a cluster of flowers is not an exaggeration.

When she entered the boudoir, all the servants were already waiting there to greet her. When they saw Murong Xiao sitting on the high seat, they immediately knelt to greet her.

"This servant (slave) greets the young lady!"

Murong Xiao looked down at the crowd of people below him, almost all of whom were Murong Qingyu's spies. The most prominent among them were the two personal maids, Jinse and Qiaose, who were kneeling in the front.

Next came the four maids who served in the room, the eight maids who served outside the room, the ten maids who served outside the courtyard, and the eight guards. A total of 32 people.

Although these people were Murong Qingyu's spies, as their master, Murong Xiao would never give up her power. Since Murong Qingyu didn't say that these people were sent to monitor her, she had the right to make her own demands.

The servants in the room knelt on the ground and listened to the lecture for a long time. The lecture was basically a few rules: First, be loyal to her. Second, no one is allowed to enter her room without her permission. Third, no stealing is allowed.

After a long lecture, it was not until Murong Yan arrived that all the servants in the room retreated.

"Xiaoxiao, they all say that your boudoir is the most beautiful place in the entire Marshal's Mansion. Even the young master's residence is not as beautiful as yours. I don't believe it. Come over and take a look. Yours is not a boudoir at all, it's a paradise on earth!"

Murong Xiao raised his lips slightly and said, "I believe there are many fairylands in this Marshal's Mansion. How about... we go and visit them?"

"Great! That's exactly what I was thinking. I hope we can finish touring the Marshal's Mansion today."

"Okay." After Murong Xiao agreed, he immediately stood up and walked out hand in hand with Murong Yan.

Behind them, Jinse and Qiaose followed, as did Murong Yan's two personal maids, Qinglian and Bailian.

Murong Xiao and Murong Yan were talking and laughing, strolling here and looking there, as if they had endless energy.

The summer heat was scorching, and the cicadas were chirping. The two of them strolled for an hour, showing no sign of stopping. This made life difficult for the four personal maids following behind them.

What frustrated them most was that these two young ladies refused to leave for the shade, preferring to bask in the sun. Aren't they afraid of heatstroke?

The four maids, drowsy from the scorching sun, initially listened attentively to the two women's whispered conversation. After an hour, they found nothing more than murmurs of praise for this and that beauty. Finally, they gave up listening altogether, dismissing them as country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Sensing that the others behind him were on the verge of collapse, Murong Yan whispered, "How about it, can you make an antidote?"

Murong smiled and raised his lips and asked, "What do you think?"

Murong Yan also smiled and praised sincerely: "Seeing you put it in your mouth without thinking, I know you have a way. Is it difficult to find the antidote?"

"This type of neurotoxin was extremely rare in ancient times. He dared to use it to control us, which means that this mansion must have drugs to make the poison and antidote it."
