Luo Lingyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a relaxed expression: "Aunt, don't worry! I'm not afraid of them!" Her eyes showed determination and confidence, as if she had already seen through her opponent's tricks.
Concubine An's face was full of worry, and she frowned as she said, "Xiao Qi, I'm worried that the Queen will interfere with your marriage!" Her voice was full of worry and uneasiness, as if she had foreseen the possible trouble.
Luo Lingyue frowned slightly, and her big almond eyes turned: "Aunt! Xiaoqi doesn't have to get married!" There was a hint of stubbornness and persistence in her eyes, as if she was expressing her determination to her aunt.
Concubine An raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled, "How could you say such a stupid thing, kid! Dazhao Kingdom is so big, there will always be a good boy who can match my Xiaoqi!" Her eyes flashed with confidence and tenderness, and she seemed full of expectations for the future.
Luo Lingyue bit her lip, thinking to herself. In this time and space, not getting married is simply heresy, and no one can accept it. This is really a headache!
She couldn't help but worry that if her husband angered her in the future, would she be unable to control herself and cruelly serve him a bowl of medicine and say coldly, "Da Lang, drink the medicine!" Uh... just thinking about it, it feels really vicious!
The Queen and Li Jingshu arrived at the back of the White Horse Temple and entered a simple courtyard. Li Jingshu bent her knees and fell to the ground with a plop, her voice filled with guilt and self-blame: "Aunt! It's all my fault! It's me who has implicated you!" Tears welled up in her eyes, her expression filled with pain and regret.
The queen sighed deeply, her heart full of resentment. She said slowly: "This is not your fault! I really can't understand why Xiao Jinghan and Chu Shiyou, who never meddle in other people's affairs, would stand up for Luo Lingyue this time! Forget it! Let's rest early! I don't know how the queen mother will make trouble for us tomorrow!" There was a hint of worry in her eyes, as if she had foreseen the trouble in the future.
Luo Lingyue, who had just returned to Wanyuewu from the palace, saw a silver ring snake coiled around her bed.
She walked forward without hesitation, carefully picked up the coral snake, and quickly hid it in her sleeve. At this moment, Linglong and Liuli walked in.
Linglong said softly, "Miss, I have followed your instructions and asked everyone to keep today's events a secret and absolutely not tell Madam!" Her tone revealed her concern and obedience to Luo Lingyue.
Luo Lingyue nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction. If her mother knew, the consequences would be disastrous. Her tears would probably burst like a flood, drowning Wanyuewu.
Then, Luo Lingyue ordered: "Go prepare some hot water, I want to take a bath and wash away all the bad luck!" There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice.
Her gaze turned to Liuli again. Liuli understood her intention intelligently and said quickly, "Miss, rest assured. I will be guarding outside the door. No one will disturb your sleep."
Luo Lingyue gently undressed and stepped into the tub. The warm water enveloped her body, washing away all her fatigue. After her bath, she took the red dress from the hanger. The fiery red and mysterious Lycoris radiata embroidered on the hem seemed to dance with flames.
She stood before the bronze mirror, carefully examining her own face, a flicker of satisfaction in her eyes. "Dark Moon Enchantress is supposed to be this enchanting, this peerless beauty!" The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, a charming smile blossoming across her face.
She cleverly avoided the surveillance of numerous spies and arrived at Mu San's Eagle Shop. Dark Moon Fairy frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly, "Mu San! Why are you still hiding in this ghost market? Is there something important that must be handled by this Pavilion Master personally?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the coral snake into Mu San's arms. Mu San carefully caught the little snake and gently placed it in his arms, as if it were an invaluable treasure.
Seeing this, Dark Moon Fairy couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Wow! You've even developed a bond with it!"
Mu San quickly flattered, "The little snake that the Pavilion Master gave me as a reward is my brother from the Dark Moon Pavilion! Naturally, I have to treat it better!"
The corner of Dark Moon Fairy's eye twitched slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's get down to business!"
Mu San's expression straightened, and he said respectfully, "Master, I have a big deal to discuss, and I dare not make the decision arbitrarily. I have come to ask for your instructions!"
Dark Moon Fairy pursed her red lips, her eyes firm: "I said you are the deputy leader, you can handle business matters yourselves!" There was a hint of trust and empowerment in her voice.
Mu San scratched his cheek, looking embarrassed: "For this business, not only did the employer personally invite us, he also invited the Soul-Crossed Sect. I'm worried about you, Pavilion Master..." His words revealed his concern for the Pavilion Master's safety.
Dark Moon Enchantress was silent for a moment, pondering to herself. To be invited by two major assassination organizations simultaneously, just how powerful must the person being killed be?
She raised her eyes and stared at Mu San, and asked, "Who to kill? How much silver?" Her eyes revealed determination and decisiveness.
Mu San paused for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Master! This time we are not going to kill people, but to protect people! We are going to Nanyi to pick up the little princess Nanzhi from Youli Kingdom. The employer is willing to pay five thousand taels of gold." His tone showed both surprise at the mission and excitement about the high reward.
Darkmoon Enchantress blinked, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was immediately replaced by greed: "Then take it! It's just to protect one person. Are you stupid not to earn so much gold?" Her words were full of desire for money and contempt for the mission.
Mu San looked embarrassed and said softly, "I heard that this time Princess Nanzhi disguised herself as a merchant caravan to enter Yuewu Kingdom, and then entered Nanyi from Yuewu Kingdom. Nanyi is Xiao Jingyi's territory, he will definitely send someone to assassinate Princess Nanzhi!" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, as if he had foreseen the difficulty and danger of the mission.
Luo Lingyue looked confused and asked, bewildered, "I've heard that the small nation of Youli holds a special status among the three great nations, and no country dares to easily declare war on it. Then why doesn't Princess Nanzhi come directly to Dazhao?"
Mu San hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Pavilion Master, according to the information we've gathered, Princess Nanzhi came here to bring the antidote to the Biluo Poison to Prince Xiao! There's a feud between Yuewu and the Wu'an Palace, so they certainly hope that Prince Wu'an will have no descendants!"
Dark Moon Enchantress's eyes dimmed instantly, and she couldn't help but feel pity and sympathy for Xiao Jinghan.
Mu San continued, "And this Xiao Jingyi is even more eager for Prince Xiao to die soon! That way he can take over the Xiao family army and become king himself!"
"And in the imperial court and the imperial harem of Dazhao, I wonder if there's anyone who wants Prince Xiao dead! Pavilion Master, this isn't just about killing someone! I wonder how great the risks will be along the way!"
