Chapter 372: Shadow's Attack

Cheng Linhan said with a sad face: "My father is gone, but my mother is still alive, but she is not in good health. This is what my mother told me when I talked to her about it. Princess Kun is a great benefactor to our Cheng family."

Mo Yunzhu frowned slightly and said, "Your mother is not in good health, why don't you ask me to see a doctor?"

Cheng Linhan was stunned, then he said in surprise: "Miss Mo, are you willing to treat my mother?"

"I don't want to." Mo Yunzhu's face changed instantly.

Cheng Linhan was stunned again.

"Your and my positions are opposite. Do you think I will save my opponent?" Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows.

Cheng Linhan instantly gave a bitter smile. Yes, he was Chen Tianqi's man. Mo Yunzhu's biological mother, Princess Kun, was killed by Chen Tianqi. This was a life-and-death feud. How could he have the face to beg her?

"But it's not completely impossible. We can negotiate the conditions." Mo Yunzhu saw that his face had turned bitter, and spoke again.

Cheng Linhan was instantly delighted and looked up at him.

"What conditions?" Cheng Linhan asked immediately, "As long as it doesn't require me to betray the new emperor, I can agree to anything else."

The corners of Mo Yunzhu's mouth twitched, and she knew that it was impossible for her to ask him to betray her.

"That's not necessary, but if someone here gets into trouble, I hope you can notify me in advance and help me save them."

Mo Yunzhu's words made Cheng Linhan instantly nervous.

"You, your people? A lot of you? Are you trying to do something?"

Mo Yunzhu said unhappily: "Of course I have people, although not many, such as the people in Yunhe Courtyard. What can I do? Naturally, I want to avenge my fiancé Huo Lan."

Cheng Linhan immediately asked, "Shouldn't we take revenge now?"

"Those are just a few people. In the past ten years, there have been many people who have bullied and insulted Jun Huolan. I will settle accounts with them one by one. Of course, I will not let them die, but there will always be a price to pay. Although I can do it secretly, I am also afraid of being caught."

Cheng Linhan knew what she meant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I can only promise to notify you as soon as possible and do my best to protect the person, but I can't help you save or release the person."

"Okay. If anything happens to someone in the future, tell me my name and I hope you'll notify me immediately. If I'm not around, you can also notify Zhuo Yu."

Cheng Linhan was slightly surprised. He had a hunch that Mo Yunzhu must have quite a few people around him.

Moreover, Jun Huolan was able to survive back then because he had a group of his own people. It is not certain whether all of these people will return to Qingyun.

"Okay, take me to see your mother when you are free tomorrow." Mo Yunzhu smiled.

Cheng Linhan also smiled, thinking that even the emperor admired Mo Yunzhu's medical skills, there should be hope for his mother.

After the carriage arrived at Yunheyuan, Cheng Linhan did not go in. Just like before, there were people guarding in front and behind, and the carriage was parked in the alley as a resting point.

As soon as Mo Yunzhu entered, Shunzi and Lixiang came out to greet her. Mo Yunzhu immediately explained the matter to them, and then Shunzi left immediately.

In the middle of the night, Mo Yunzhu changed into her nightgown and left. Zhuo Yu had already received news that she was back, so he was waiting for her.

When the two met, Zhuo Yu asked her to go to the corner of his yard, where there was a big tree that could serve as cover, and there was no need to worry about being heard by people in the underground passage.

"Yunzhu, has nothing happened to you recently?" Zhuo Yu asked with a worried look on his face.

"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Mo Yunzhu said with a smile, "You've lost some weight."

Zhuo Yu smiled and said, "It's true that I've been very busy recently, but things are moving in a good direction."

"That's good. By the way, how did you arrange for Eunuch An and Guard Suo after receiving my message?"

Zhuo Yu looked around and whispered, "I was shocked when I received the note about the herbs. Fortunately, I was quick enough to find Xu Haoqin and tell him. Xu Haoqin took care of the rest himself."

"Is Guard Suo Jun Huolan's man? Is he with Eunuch An?" Mo Yunzhu asked again.

"Because of your information, the two are still together. There are secret guards in the imperial city searching for them, so they will not show up for the time being. I also prepared the prescription you taught me to remove the smell and gave it to them. They should be fine."

Mo Yunzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, I thought it was too late, or you didn't receive the note. I have been worried that the two of them would be caught these days."

"Xu Haoqin said that he must see you after you come back and said he wanted to thank you." Zhuo Yu said with a smile.

"What are you thanking me for? Eunuch An was originally your father's man. We are considered a family. He did so much for your father and even became a eunuch. We should be thanking him."

Zhuo Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I do want to thank Uncle Xu, but I haven't had the chance to meet him yet. I'll meet him again after the storm has passed."

Mo Yunzhu nodded, and then asked, "I heard that Zhuo Hongli went out of the city. He didn't go back to the villa. Where did he go?"

"He said he was going back to the Wanlianshan headquarters. I don't know what he was going back for, but he must have gone to get something. He developed a lot of unique poisons there back then."

"Oh?" Mo Yunzhu's mouth suddenly curled up, "It seems that the relationship between him, Chen Tianqi, and Song Gou is getting more and more tense. By the way, Song Gou built a stone chamber for making poison in the back mountain of the villa. I also want to tell Zhuo Hongli about this."

Zhuo Yu's expression changed, and then he thought of something and said, "What you mean is..."

"I said that Song Gou built this poison-making stone chamber in order to prepare an antidote for the Tibetan red poison. I heard that it will soon be successful. By then, Zhuo Hongli will have no trump card to control Song Gou, and Song Gou may kill him to silence him."

Zhuo Yu's heart was pounding. Given Zhuo Hongli's personality, if he knew that his threat to Song Gou had no effect, he would definitely think that Song Gou was going to take action against him.

It's not just because the threat of the Tibetan red poison is gone, but also because Zhuo Hongli protected Mo Yunzhu, and Song Gou also wanted to control Mo Yunzhu.

"He should be back soon. Once he comes back, tell him so that he can prepare himself. Then we can see the dog-eat-dog fight."

"But there is an unexpected event, that is you. If Zhuo Hongli uses you, the young prince who is still alive, to negotiate, Chen Tianqi and Song Gou should let him go for the time being. Brother Yu, you may also be in danger next."

Mo Yunzhu frowned. If things developed too quickly, she was afraid that Zhuo Yu would not be prepared.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone keep an eye on Zhuo Hongli. If I feel something is wrong, I'll go into the dark. From now on, you'll be in the light and I'll be in the dark." Zhuo Hongli took a breath and said, "Although it will be a little difficult, I believe that one day, I will avenge my parents and aunt."

Mo Yunzhu nodded, and soon she left Wanyao Pavilion, also entering and exiting through the courtyard wall.

But when she walked some distance away from Wanyao Pavilion and turned into a dark alley, she felt a sense of crisis behind her, which made her hair stand on end.

She immediately moved to the side, and a flying knife shot forward, brushing against her body, and then fell to the ground more than ten meters away with a clang.

Mo Yunzhu was covered in cold sweat. If she hadn't dodged, the flying knife would have pierced her back and penetrated directly into the handle.

Her whole body tensed up as she looked at the dark figure that was slowly walking out of the darkness.

At this moment, Mo Yunzhu was dressed in black and wearing a black hood, with only her eyes exposed, so it was impossible for ordinary people to recognize that she was Mo Yunzhu.

The shadow opposite was wearing the same outfit as her. It was completely black, with only two eyes showing. The eyes were still pitch black and it was impossible to see the shape of the eyes clearly.

Mo Yunzhu could tell at a glance that it was a man, taller than her, with completely silent footsteps. He was standing twenty meters away from her, walking towards her step by step.

Mo Yunzhu knew that this person was skilled in martial arts and his strength should be quite high.

If he hadn't been so fast just now, he would have been able to intercept and kill her directly. He threw the flying knife because he was afraid that she would escape from the dark alley.

He was probably thinking of killing her with one blow, but he obviously didn't expect her to escape.

The black shadow's aura was bloodthirsty and cold, but when Mo Yunzhu looked at the two glowing eyes, she could feel that this person seemed to be very surprised at the moment.
