Mengbao spends all her time in the palace helping Meng Qingqian, so that person will have plenty of opportunities to make a move.
Although I don't understand why the inside agent didn't just kill Meng Qingqian... or perhaps Meng Bao is Meng Qingqian and the inside agent didn't kill the wrong person... but Meng Bao also said she would take me to see Meng Qingqian, which means she isn't Meng Qingqian...
What utter nonsense!
He Yunxiao didn't want to think about it anymore.
He wanted to ask Sister Jiang, but holding her while talking about another woman made He Yunxiao feel guilty. However, when mentioning Sister Jiang in front of Mengbao, He Yunxiao felt no pressure at all.
Go to sleep, you can ask again tomorrow. But don't sleep too soundly, and keep an eye on the "red whistle." It wouldn't be good if it delayed the detoxification of Mengbao.
"Xiao'er, are you asleep?" Jiang Wuyou asked softly.
"Wife?"
"You asked me to inquire about 'White Egret' last time..."
He Yunxiao's eyes lit up. "There's news?"
Jiang Wuyou shook her head. "No."
"However..." Jiang Wuyou changed the subject, "I suspect that Miss Li's poisoning is likely related to that palace mole. So I used every means to inquire about that mole, but unexpectedly..."
"I never imagined he was a high-ranking official in the inner palace? A favorite of the Empress Dowager?" He Yunxiao tried to guess using the mindset of an old bookworm.
Jiang Wuyou shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to find out even the slightest bit of information."
"Xiao'er, have you seen the list of Yan Kingdom spies I gave you? Yan Kingdom spies are infiltrated in the palace, the court, among merchants, in the martial arts world, and among the common people. They are incredibly powerful. But I can't find any information about that palace mole. Not to mention his name, gender, appearance, or position, I can't even find out if he even exists."
He Yunxiao comforted Sister Jiang, saying, "Sister, don't panic. If this inside man doesn't exist, wouldn't that be the best outcome?"
Jiang Wuyou frowned, looking worried.
“Xiao’er, you don’t understand. The Yan Emperor is extremely cunning and treacherous. With my martial arts skills, without anyone’s cooperation, even if I were to actually perform a sword dance in front of Meng Qingqian, I wouldn’t be able to kill her. Therefore, in order for me to kill Meng Qingqian, the Yan Emperor will definitely find someone to cooperate with me. But right now, this person is completely unknown…”
He Yunxiao said, "My lady, don't panic. If we can't find out, it's probably because he's hiding too well in the palace."
Jiang Wuyou sighed, "I hope so. If he's just hiding his true intentions, that's fine. I'm afraid the Emperor of Yan has other tricks up his sleeve. Even if we're on guard, the Emperor of Yan can still... take Meng Qingqian's life..."
He Yunxiao said, "No, no, the Yan Emperor isn't a god. How could he predict everything? At the coming-of-age ceremony, you dance with your sword, and they just drink poison and fake their death, giving the inside agent no chance to make a move. Then the Yan army is defeated, and everyone is happy."
He Yunxiao had to coax Jiang Wuyou to sleep after much pleading and cajoling. But he himself couldn't fall asleep.
If Sister Jiang's worries are true, then even with the faked death plan, Meng Qingqian is still in great danger. What if Meng Bao is actually Meng Qingqian...?
No, I still have to go to my coming-of-age ceremony!
Although Mengbao objected, this matter might concern the lives of the two female leads, so she couldn't be indulged. At worst, they could just avoid Mengbao a little and not let her discover their presence.
