When Chaoge returned to the palace, it was already late midnight.
Seeing Chaoge arriving late, Dongfang Mu was full of disgust!
"Why are you alone? Where is your Mo Wang?
Also, where is Yun Chaoyu?"
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
I have something to ask you for help."
Dongfang Mu's impatient expression suddenly changed when he heard Chaoge's words.
"Oh, you actually want my help?
Yun Chaoge, you were never so polite when you spoke before!
You always resort to direct threats.”
"Shut up, Dongfang Mu, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now.
Just state the conditions."
Seeing that Chaoge didn't take Nangong Yao seriously at all, and sat down directly in front of the Eight Immortals Table in Nangong Yao's bedroom, and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, Dongfang Mu felt even more surprised!
"Why do I feel so uncomfortable when you ask me to make conditions right away?
Let me tell you what I can do for you first?
What if you want me to die? I can't do that."
“Are you stupid?
If I ask you to die, will I let you end it yourself?
I'll do it directly without your help.
The thing is, I don’t consider you an outsider anymore, I’ll tell you the truth…”
Chaoge finished telling Dongfang Mu what happened. Dongfang Mu's originally nonchalant face had already become solemn!
"A man like King Mo was actually poisoned?
No wonder, no wonder you are so anxious?
I was saying, when you were in Dongxiang Kingdom, Prince Mo was inseparable from you, how come you appeared in the Zhannan Kingdom Palace in the middle of the night?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Time is running out. I need to get the solution before dawn. Are you willing to help me?
You can set any conditions you want."
"Whatever I want to do?
Is it true or false?
Why don't you just promise me that you will help me overthrow Queen Rong and take over all the military power of the Rong Family Army?"
Dongfang Mu's expression, which had just been serious, suddenly became nonchalant again.
Chaoge glared at him angrily!
"Dongfang Mu, I'm not kidding you.
If you can help me find the solution to the poison, I can help you kill Queen Rong or the people of the Rong family."
Chaoge's serious look and arrogant tone made the smile on Dongfang Mu's face slowly disappear.
"Come on, it's not that easy to kill them.
I don't need you to do anything for me?
You saved my life. If I can cure King Mo's poison, it will be my repayment for your life-saving grace."
Chaoge was a little surprised, but she didn't think that her help to Dongfang Mu was more costly than the risk of going to Gongsun Mansion.
"Dongfang Mu, I was not wrong about you.
I know that you are a loyal and righteous person at heart.
Don't worry, I won't let you help me in vain."
The three of them got together and discussed for a while. Dongfang Mu followed Chaoge's instructions and went to Gongsun Mansion with Chaoge.
Not long after entering Gongsun Mansion, the two were discovered by the patrolling guards of Gongsun Mansion.
Chaoge simply threw out silver needles from space and silently took care of all the guards.
Dongfang Mu's eyes widened when he saw Chaoge, who had silently defeated dozens of guards with just a wave of his hand!
"No way!
I didn’t realize you were capable of Qinggong before, nor did I realize you had such a skill?
You said you were so capable, so why were you so worried about getting into trouble when you were recovering at your home? "
"I'm just a person who hates trouble. Stop talking nonsense. What time is it?
Gongsun Ming doesn't necessarily have to be tough, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.
If I force him to come up with a solution to the poison, and what if it turns out to be a fake, wouldn't I be hurting Jun Yumo's body again?
So do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood. I promise to perform flawlessly."
Dongfang Mu realized the seriousness of the matter and no longer dared to act frivolously. He repeatedly assured Chaoge.
When he arrived at the door, Chaoge was stopped by the guards at the gate?
After taking another look at what Chaoge and the other man were wearing, the two guards drew their swords from their waists and looked at them warily.
"Don't be so nervous. Go in and tell Gongsun Ming that the person who was poisoned by him is here to see him."
Dongfang Mu stood directly in front of Chaoge, met the guards' gazes without fear, and said calmly.
Seeing Dongfang Mu acting like a superior, the guard frowned slightly.
The two looked at each other, and one of them turned around, opened the door and walked in.
After a while, voices were heard inside.
The guard who went in also came out: "Our Second Master lets you in."
The two walked in. Gongsun Ming was already dressed and sitting at the eight-immortal table in the room.
Looking at the person coming, Gongsun Ming's eyes were filled with surprise for a moment, and he stood up from the stool in shock!
"Dongfang Mu, the eldest grandson of the Eastern Prime Minister?!"
Seeing that Gongsun Ming recognized him at a glance, Dongfang Mu grinned and sat down on the flower stool beside him.
"Master Gongsun has a good eye. Since Master Gongsun knows me, let's make a deal."
Seeing Dongfang Mu's expression, Gongsun Ming looked at Chaoge who was standing next to Dongfang Mu.
She was seen dressed in black, with her long hair tied up in a high ponytail, wearing a man's crown, holding a long sword in her hand, and looking cold and detached.
Seeing this, he thought Chaoge was just a guard of Dongfang Mu, so he withdrew his gaze and sat back down.
"I wonder what the emperor's eldest grandson wants to discuss with me this time?"
"Isn't Master Gongsun very clear?
Isn’t your situation very similar to mine now?
It's just that what you want is not legitimate.
As for what this prince wants, as long as he works hard, the people of the entire Dongxiang Kingdom will be recognized.
Master Gongsun, do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Ming's face suddenly darkened.
"Were you the ones eavesdropping on the roof yesterday?"
Chaoge: “…”
"It can't be considered eavesdropping. Yesterday, my guard was almost beaten up on the street by your Gongsun family's legitimate daughter, oh no, your fake legitimate daughter.
My guard was so anxious that he accidentally hurt the impostor.
This prince is also aware of the power of your Gongsun family, so I was worried and came to the Gongsun Mansion for a visit.
And you should be very clear about what you did to me, right?"
"Oh, Your Highness, do you think you are justified in eavesdropping?"
After hearing Dongfang Mu's words, Gongsun Ming almost laughed out of anger!
Such a big secret of his is now in Dongfang Mu's hands. Not only is Dongfang Mu not afraid that he would kill him to silence him, but he actually dared to come to him in the middle of the night?
