The palace was very quiet, and there were no lights on in the room where Leng Shi and the others lived. Then she saw Zhidan and Yiqing fainted on the ground.

Mu Nanjin quickly released her spiritual sense to check, and saw Feng Shuang hiding on a big tree behind her. She quickly turned around and hit the tree with her palm.

There was a loud bang, followed by a scream.

Feng Shuang was knocked out of Yueqiu Palace and fell to the ground, spitting out blood.

He knew that he was no match for Mu Nanjin, so he hurriedly got up and fled.

Mu Nanjin chased after him.

Feng Shuang was also smart, and he ran while shouting, "There's an assassin, there's an assassin."

The patrolling guards nearby immediately rushed towards the sound.

Mu Nanjin knew that Feng Shuang still had many magic weapons to protect himself, and it was impossible to kill him with one blow before the guards arrived.

In order to avoid being charged with assassinating the imperial teacher and putting Gong Xiurong in an awkward position, she retreated back to Yueqiu Palace.

Feng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Nanjin did not chase after him.

Not long after, Leng Shi and his companions returned to Yueqiu Palace.

"master."

They looked apologetic.

Yuwen Shen said: "After we fought with that person, we found that we were no match for him, so we quickly fled Yueqiu Palace."

Che Jinglan snorted coldly: "He couldn't beat us in the first place, but the magic weapon he had was so powerful that he was able to suppress us."

Mu Nanjin did not blame them: "Carry Zhidan and the others back to the room and go to rest."

"yes."

After they left, Gong Xiurong came.

He quickly asked with concern: "Anzhi, I heard that there are assassins near Yueqiu Palace, are you okay?"

"It's just someone crying thief."

Mu Nanjin recounted what had just happened.

Gong Xiurong said angrily: "The Imperial Master is getting bolder and bolder. He even dares to take action in the Imperial Palace."

"He didn't want to kill me, he just wanted to test my ability. After this time, he will definitely not come again. I can divert his attention, and you will have the opportunity to eliminate all the forces behind the Queen Mother."

Mu Nanjin didn't understand the affairs of the court, so he could only help Gong Xiurong point out who did what behind the scenes. As for how to deal with it, Gong Xiurong had to solve it. After all, the family forces behind some officials were deeply rooted and could not be eradicated immediately, and some officials could not be dealt with just by saying so.

Gong Xiurong was very grateful to Mu Nanjin: "Thank you."

"I'm not helping you for free. After this is done, I hope you can promise me one thing."

Gong Xiurong knew that she wanted a token: "As long as I can do it, I will do it."

In fact, regardless of whether she helped or not, the fact that she had saved him and helped him return to Dongzhao Kingdom smoothly was enough for him to give the token to her.

But she didn't ask him to repay her kindness, so he knew that she really wanted to help him.

Over the next five days, all the officials on Gong Xiurong's side knew that Mu Nanjin was able to reveal her true feelings and that she knew some unknown secrets.

Some officials did not believe it and when they learned that Mu Nanjin was in the Imperial Study, they ran to the Imperial Study under the pretext of official business to "discuss matters" with the emperor.

But in less than a quarter of an hour, the officials either left with gloomy faces or walked out of the imperial study with anger. They felt that they were just asking for trouble.

How comfortable it is to lie down at home.

They had to be so shameless as to come here to have their secrets exposed. Not only did the emperor know about his scandals, but even his colleagues knew his unknown secrets.

Oh, no, it can't be called a secret anymore.

What is known to everyone is no longer a secret.

While Gong Xiurong was dealing with the Queen Mother's forces, Mu Nanjin was not idle either.

Mu Nanjin knew their little thoughts but did not expose them. She felt very happy when she heard them praising her.

No wonder everyone likes to hear nice words, even she feels refreshed when she hears them.

As lunchtime approached, Mu Nanjin said to the ten concubines, "The emperor will come to Yueqiu Palace for lunch at noon. I wanted to keep you here to eat with me, but the nobles don't have much food, and the food in the palace is ridiculously expensive. I, a daughter of a small county magistrate, really can't afford to buy more food to entertain you. Please understand."

The maids looked at each other, and Yu, who was sitting in the front, smiled and said, "You are too polite, my dear sister. We have caused you a lot of trouble by coming here every day. It is our honor that you do not mind us disturbing us. We dare not hope to have a meal in your Yueqiu Palace anymore."

Wu Cainv, who was sitting opposite Yu Cainv, continued, "By the way, we haven't given Sister a gift yet."

She stood up and took out a light blue purse with gold embroidery. "This is the purse I brought from home. It has the famous Suzhou embroidery of brocade fish and peach blossoms on it, which symbolizes wealth and good fortune. Please don't dislike it, sister."

Mu Nanjin pretended to be embarrassed: "This..."

"Please don't be polite to me, sister."

Wu Cainü handed the purse to her.

"Thank you, sister."

Mu Nanjin took the purse and felt other things inside. She used her spiritual sense to check and found that there were actually 12,000 taels of silver notes inside.

As expected of a lady from a wealthy family, she is very generous.

Others also found excuses to take out their purses and give them to Mu Nanjin. The total amount of silver notes inside was 50,000 taels.

She was immediately delighted and asked the ten concubines to stay for dinner. She then sent someone to the imperial kitchen to inform the chef to prepare a few more dishes.

Other nobles did have regulations on food portions, but she had no such rules.

Gong Xiurong had already issued an order that she could take any food, cakes and fruits she wanted.

At noon, the emperor that the concubines had been longing for finally arrived.

"The Emperor has arrived."

The concubines stood up happily. After entering the palace for many days, they could finally show their faces in front of the emperor.

If the emperor favors them, the money they spend will be nothing.

When Gong Xiurong entered Yueqiu Palace and saw a group of concubines kneeling on the ground, he was stunned.

"I have met the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Mu Nanjin bowed briefly and stood up.

The other concubines knelt on the ground.

Gong Xiurong said, "Stand up."

He turned to Mu Nanjin and said, "It's really lively today."

Mu Nanjin nodded: "My sisters came to keep me company, so I'll keep them for dinner. Your Majesty won't blame me for acting on my own, right?"

[They spent fifty thousand taels of silver just for this meal, how can I not keep them here, hehe.]

Gong Xiurong was embarrassed, feeling like he was being sold out: "No."

After he took his seat, others took their seats.

The concubines were very diligent and always looked for opportunities to attract the emperor's attention, but Gong Xiurong was completely focused on Mu Nanjin's feelings.

[Today, ten concubines came and I made fifty thousand taels. If ten more concubines come tomorrow, won’t I make another fifty thousand taels? Hehe, it’s so easy to make money from concubines.]

[If I invite concubines to be my guests, will I earn more? ]

[Uh... I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a brothel owner, and Xiao Xiurong is the prostitute in my hands. ]

[Alas, sooner or later you will have to pay back what you have sold yourself. I didn’t make any money from Xiao Xiurong in Daqian Country, so now that I’m in Dongzhao Country, I have to make enough money.]

Gong Xiurong: "..." (End of this chapter)
