——
A man crouched on the wall, taking in the entire scene through the window. His face was covered, so his expression couldn't be seen. His eyes, however, were filled with resentment and jealousy.
Fly down the wall and land steadily.
Before that, he secretly checked the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. After finishing the General's Mansion, he left and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.
—
Prince's palace, study.
It was clearly daytime, but it was dark all around.
Helan Yinsheng sat upright in front of the desk, holding a teacup in his hand, watching the tea leaves in the cup rise and fall. The candle on the table had no lampshade and was swaying in the wind coming in from the window.
There was a knock on the door.
Helan Yinsheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
"Your Majesty, it's me."
The person outside the door responded.
"Come in."
Helan Yinsheng was familiar with his voice.
I don't know if it was the sound of the wind or the push of the person outside, but the door blew open with a "whoosh". The person outside flashed in and the door closed again with a "click".
The black man who had just been climbing the wall of the general's mansion appeared in the study of the prince's mansion.
"Greetings, Ninth Prince," the man in black knelt on the ground and saluted.
Helan Yinsheng was still sitting upright, not at all surprised by his appearance, because this man in black was his spy, used to monitor the movements of the major families in Funing City.
"Get up and speak,"
The man in black stood up and pulled off the black veil covering his face, revealing a handsome face.
It was Zhan Shaoang, the so-called eldest son that the Imperial Mansion had just recognized some time ago.
"There's been no unusual activity at the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Young Master Yu hasn't done anything else besides running Zuixianlou. At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Young Master Tang seems to be asking about Miss Yu, while Second Young Master Tang continues to spend his days drinking and looking lost. At the General's Mansion, the old general hasn't made any unusual moves, except that he's been appearing less frequently at the training grounds lately. Madam Jin has kicked some of the maids out of the mansion, but other than that, there's been no other activity. Second Madam Jin is very well behaved, Young Master Jin is studying at home, and Third Miss Jin has been staying indoors lately. I haven't been able to find out the reason yet."
Helan Yinsheng narrowed his eyes, not knowing if he had heard it or not. He asked, "Where's she?"
Zhan Shaoang understood and said, "The young lady looks very good."
"What do you mean by looks good?" Helan Yinsheng opened his eyes and asked.
Zhan Shaoang exhaled and said, "The eldest lady is in the East Palace now."
"With Helan Ruizhe?"
Helan Yinsheng's tone was dangerous.
"yes."
Zhan Shaoang still reported the truth.
“Snap—”
The candlestick on the table was overturned. Even though Helan Yinsheng only knew a little about it, he was jealous to death.
Why is Helan Ruizhe the one who is with her?
It was obvious that he met Jin Suting earlier than Helan Ruizhe.
He had proposed earlier, he clearly loved her sincerely, he clearly...
But she doesn't like herself, so what's the point?
Not only that, she was afraid of him.
Why are you afraid of him? Why are you avoiding him?
He doesn't understand.
"Your Highness, please calm down." Zhan Shaoang knelt on the ground and said, "The eldest lady did not do anything inappropriate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
What I mean is that they are very content.
"What else do you want from them?!"
Helan Yinsheng asked loudly, he was very angry.
He reached out and opened the drawer on the desk, took out a small jade-colored bottle, placed it on the table, and said, "Give the medicine to Han Shuangye and ask her to put it in Helan Ruizhe's food at the banquet."
“All of them must be released.”
He deliberately emphasized this point.
"This is?"
Zhan Shaoang asked a question without hesitation.
"Don't worry about it," Helan Yinsheng's eyes were full of conspiracy, "He took a drug that made him feel like he was in ecstasy."
"yes."
"Let's go." Helan Yinsheng ordered them to leave.
Zhan Shaoang's mysterious appearances and disappearances are consistent with his background as a secret guard.
Zhan Shaoang was considered Helan Yinsheng's cousin, but their status was vastly different. The Zhan family had always been weak, but that didn't necessarily mean Helan Yinsheng had any illness.
However, Zhan Shaoang's mother and Helan Yinsheng's mother both have hereditary heart disease.
——
Zhan Shaoang was very efficient when he gave the medicine to Frost Leaf.
Han Shuangye was immediately shocked. She held the jade bottle with a fierce look in her eyes: "Is Helan Yinsheng crazy? He put such a strong medicine in it? It will kill people!"
"If he dies, how will the subsequent plans be implemented?"
"He must be mad, mad with jealousy."
"I will report to the Pavilion Master tomorrow, no, immediately, that Helan Yinsheng is no longer suitable to be the Deputy Pavilion Master. Jin Xiwen——"
Zhan Shaoang couldn't stop her, Han Shuangye was extremely excited, but Jin Xiwen did not show up.
Because of her, he has now set off for Muhan Pavilion.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Han, please calm down first."
"How do you expect me to calm down? Huh?" Han Shuangye paced around the room in anger. "Do you know what this is? This is Yuxiao Powder, a medicine only the head of Muhan Pavilion can possess. Not to mention that Helan Yinsheng used it so casually, and at such an inappropriate time. Do you know what the consequences of taking it are?"
"At the very least, they'll be bedridden for half a month. At the worst," Han Shuangye paused, "at the worst, they'll die on the spot. If someone has a weak heart, they'll definitely die on the spot."
"So how do you expect me to calm down?" Han Shuangye threw the jade bottle back to Zhan Shaoang. "Giving Helan Ruizhe this medicine is undoubtedly a death sentence. Give the medicine back to him and let him take it himself. How dare you let Helan Ruizhe use this medicine?"
"Deputy Pavilion Master Han," Zhan Shaoang took the medicine bottle very calmly, "it's impossible to take it back. If you don't release it, I will release it too. Moreover, if you disobey the prince's orders, he has the right to report it. Don't forget that the prince's rank is higher than yours. Disobeying orders will result in death without mercy in Muhan Pavilion."
After saying that, he threw the jade bottle back.
"How dare you?!" Han Shuangye gritted her teeth, but could only take the jade bottle. "Helan Yinsheng will regret it. He absolutely, absolutely will regret it."
Zhan Shaoang saw that his goal had been achieved, so he said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Get out, get out!" Han Shuangye was in a very bad mood.
After Zhan Shaoang left, Han Shuangye stared at the bottle in her hand, wishing she could smash it to pieces.
But no, this is an order.
Her father taught her since she was a child that she must obey orders from her superiors.
What's funny is that Helan Yinsheng is a man she particularly hates.
On the day when she finally became the deputy pavilion master, he suddenly appeared and surpassed her in rank within just a few days.
How could she not hate him?
Their ranks were upgraded by killing people, and Helan Yinsheng was the one with the highest rank in their group and also the one who had killed the most people in the group.
——
A month passed in peace.
In the blink of an eye, it was April 13th.
