Mu Qing leaned closer and said, "It is said that the emperor is hinting at the candidate for the position of the crown prince. And asking all the ladies to bring the young ladies in the mansion should also mean to select concubines for each prince. Of course, don't even think about it, you have been assigned to the Prince of Qi. What's worse," she winked, "maybe he will even select a concubine for the regent..."
"It can only be said that being chosen as the regent's princess is extremely unlucky. She has to marry such a moody, unpredictable, mentally ill pervert." Baili Feiyue said.
Mu Qing choked, "Ahem... you really are that kind of regent..."
"He gave me such a 'good' marriage, so of course I will remember him well!"
As the two were talking, the shopkeeper came over and handed over two boxes of snacks. He said politely, "Ladies, this is a gift from my boss. Please enjoy it."
Mu Qing asked suspiciously, "We don't know your shopkeeper, why would he give us food?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "I don't know about this little guy."
Before Mu Qing could say anything, Baili Feiyue opened the food box and smelled it. "It smells good. Shopkeeper, thank your boss for us." It's not poisonous and it looks delicious. If I take it back and give it to Su Yi, that girl will be so happy.
"Okay, I will leave now. Please enjoy your meal, ladies."
Mu Qing was looking through the food box there, and Baili Feiyue glanced at the third floor calmly.
She kept noticing a certain gaze, staring at the table where she and Mu Qing were sitting.
He should be the boss behind Zuixianju, right?
Just after Baili Feiyue and Mu Qing left Zuixianju with the food boxes, in a room at the top of the third floor of Zuixianju.
A stunning aqua-blue figure was half-sitting and leaning against the window.
At first glance, her skin is as white as jade and her eyes are as black as lacquer.
Flexible waist and even frame.
He leaned there, looking slightly at the place downstairs where Baili Feiyue had sat before. His whole body was like a unique beauty in the spring river, rippling circles in the turbulence, exuding the unique alluring aura of a young man.
It is as if it were a rare flower blooming in the sky, its fragrance and cherishment cannot be expressed in words.
"Third sister... you are really special..." he murmured softly.
The shopkeeper knocked on the door respectfully and came in, "Master, I have delivered the snacks to the two young ladies as you ordered."
"Hmm." The boy hummed in response.
I don’t know whether my third sister likes to eat it... He felt a little worried.
There was a sudden itch in my throat, and I couldn't help but cough, "cough cough cough..."
After finally stopping his coughing fit, the young man looked indifferently at the blood-red plum blossoms splashing on the snow-white brocade handkerchief covering his mouth.
Oh, I'm not dead yet.
But it will be soon.
Oh.
…
That night.
Somewhere in Kyoto, Zhuyue found a secluded corner where no one was, curled his fingers into his mouth and whistled silently.
Soon, a dark shadow appeared behind her, and said in a hollow voice as if it had no soul, "Master, what do you want?"
Zhuyue turned around and looked at the man in black with a satisfied look in his eyes. "Now there is something I need you to do."
"Master, please speak."
Zhuyue lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear, and said, "I want you to go to General Ling's mansion tonight and get rid of the third young lady there—Ling Jing!"
"Yes, I obey your command!" The man nodded without hesitation.
Zhuyue was quite satisfied with the man's loyalty. This was the man she trained, a death warrior who was only loyal to her, Zhuyue!
She was not as blindly loyal as Zhuifeng and the others, who followed their master wholeheartedly. Of course, Zhuyue had no disrespect or disloyalty towards her master. If anyone dared to touch her master, she would definitely be the first one to come out and defend her master.
Even if the master wants Zhuyue's life, she will offer it with both hands!
The only thing that makes Zhuyue different from Zhuifeng and the others is that her feelings towards her master, besides respect, admiration and gratitude, also include... deep admiration!
She had done so much for her master, but he couldn't see her specialness. An ugly bitch who appeared out of nowhere attracted his attention. She couldn't accept this in any way.
Since she couldn't touch her master, then she, Zhuyue, could only touch that bitch.
Ling Jing, on the road to the underworld, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for touching someone you shouldn't have touched!
Blame it on you for being too arrogant!
Zhuyue naturally also knew about what happened in Zuixianju today. In this Kyoto, there are spies of the Jinyiwei everywhere. If she wanted to investigate Ling Jing, Ling Jing was in the open and she was in the dark, so it was really effortless for her.
Given how arrogant Ling Jing is and how good she is at attracting attention, her true identity will sooner or later attract even greater interest from the master!
If the Lord were to ask other people to investigate, or if he himself were to investigate, then the fact that Ling Jing and the woman in red at Qingfeng Mountain were the same person would no longer be concealed!
She must get rid of Ling Jing before that!
A slight sound reached Zhuyue's ears, and Zhuyue quickly waved to the assassins, "Someone is coming, retreat."
The next second, the assassin standing in front of Zhuyue flew away quickly and disappeared without a trace.
Zhuyue raised his head and looked over, only to see Zhuifeng walking towards him. He frowned slightly and turned around to leave.
"Zhu Yue!" Zhui Feng called her.
Stopping his steps, Zhuyue turned his head and looked at Zhuifeng silently, "What's the matter?"
"What were you doing?"
"I am doing what the master ordered me to do." Zhuyue replied calmly. Seeing that Zhuifeng was about to ask more questions, he couldn't help but sneer first, "Why, are you here to question me now? Do you think I would do something to let my master down?"
"Hmph, he just came to report to me about the matter of Miss Ling San in General Ling's Mansion. The master ordered us to investigate this. Now, what else are you suspicious of?" Zhuyue said, and was about to leave without caring about Zhuifeng's reaction.
Zhuifeng replied coldly, "Zhuiyue, you'd better know what you are doing, otherwise, the master will not let you stay." There was a warning in his words.
Zhuyue was immediately enraged by Zhuifeng's words, and stared at him with a hint of anger, "I know what I am doing, and I don't need you to remind me again and again! Don't think that you are the leader of the Four Shadows just because you follow the master all the time! I will not obey you, and you can't control Luori. From the beginning to the end, only Xiangyang obeys your orders. Who are you showing this to?"
"If you doubt my feelings for the master, you can just go and tell the master to cripple my martial arts and throw me out of the palace. Otherwise, don't appear in front of me all day long with suspicion!" Zhuyue said this and walked away without looking back.
When Zhuyue had completely disappeared, Zhuifeng turned his head to look in the direction where she disappeared, with a complex look in his eyes, which finally turned into calmness. He took a deep breath and left.
When Zhuifeng returned to Changsun Wuji, Zhuyue was in the room, reporting to Changsun Wuji.
