Chapter 29 Once you're in my room, you're mine.
Qiwu Garden.
Yun Si had been busy in the pharmacy all morning, and now she was leisurely sitting in a recliner in the courtyard, enjoying the cool air. On the stone table next to her were various exquisite and delicious pastries.
She's going to seduce some little monster.
Lanxin came over carrying the dried medicinal herbs.
"My lord, shall I handle these medicinal herbs today?"
Do you know how to handle this?
Yun Si asked without even looking up.
Lan Xin snorted coldly: "Master, have you forgotten? Lu Yu and I have served you since we were young, so we know a little bit about this. In addition, I have been secretly learning all this time, and now I have made some progress."
I've never seen anyone so blatantly use the word "stealing" in their speech.
Yun Si smiled and glanced at her: "Alright, then the handling of medicinal herbs will be left to you two from now on."
With the time saved, she can do many other things.
She hadn't read the second half of that journal yet, but the parchment tucked inside had given her a slight surprise when she'd only glanced at it casually last time.
If she wasn't mistaken, those parchments were all drawings of weapon manufacturing.
If this thing falls into the wrong hands, it will likely cause a huge uproar.
Yun Si needs to think carefully about how to deal with those weapon blueprints.
“Master.”
Lu Yu returned from outside, carrying a medicine box. She walked up to Yun Si and reported, "The Shen family just sent someone to deliver this medicine box, saying that Young Master Shen wants to see you, but I declined as you instructed."
"Um."
Yun Si glanced at the medicine box and said indifferently, "Throw it away."
Why would she want anything that was left in the Shen family?
It's not that I suspect Shen Qian would tamper with the medicine box; I just find it dirty.
"Threw it away?"
Lu Yu opened the medicine box and glanced inside. Seeing that there were only a few common medicinal herbs and a packet of silver needles, he didn't ask any more questions and simply threw it outside the gate.
The Shen family had been trying to find out about Yun Si, but the Xiao Prince's Mansion was like an iron barrel, sealing off everything about Yun Si. No matter how they tried to find out, they couldn't get any useful information.
Shen Qian stood on the pavilion of the Shen residence, gazing into the distance in the direction of the Xiao Prince's residence, his brows furrowed.
Although the two maids of the Shen family had given a complete account of what happened that day, he still felt that things had happened too suddenly, and something seemed off.
Knowing that she was pregnant, why did Jingjing drag Yunsi into the water?
Just because he wanted to prove who he would save first?
Shen Qian's gentle face was filled with gloom.
Jingjing is dead, and Yunsi's fate is unknown.
Xiao Wang relentlessly pursued the Shen family like a mad dog. His mother's illness, which had just begun to improve, gradually returned to its original state because Yun Si could no longer come.
During this time, he had a vague intuition that not only Yun Si, but everything seemed to be slipping out of his control little by little.
"Young master, the medicine chest has been returned, but regarding Miss Yun, everyone in the Xiao Prince's mansion is keeping their mouths shut, and we still can't get anything out of them."
Ling Xun, the guard who went to deliver the medicine box, returned to report.
Ling Xun was just promoted by Shen Qian. His previous confidant was assassinated in the study of the Marquis's mansion. The Dali Temple has not yet found the murderer, and the case has become an unsolved mystery.
Shen Qian clenched his fingers and said after a long while, "As long as she's not dead, I don't believe Qin Ye will keep her locked up for life."
It will come out eventually.
"Pass down the order to closely monitor all movements of the Xiao Prince's Mansion. Also, investigate his background in the martial arts world. This Xiao Prince's Mansion is no ordinary place."
"yes."
Ling Xun accepted the order and left.
At this moment, a boy dressed in light green clothes walked up to the pavilion.
The boy had handsome, well-proportioned features, and his eyes and brows bore a resemblance to He Jingjing's. However, his face was sinister, and his whole aura exuded evil. There were dark circles under his eyes, as if they were caused by some kind of excessive activity.
He walked up to Shen Qian and coldly questioned, "How exactly did my sister die? Don't tell me it was an accident; I don't believe a word of it."
"It was indeed an accident."
Shen Qian didn't seem to like the boy in front of him. He only gave a curt reply before walking downstairs.
The boy chased after him.
"Don't think I don't know. It was that Yun Si who killed my sister. It's all your fault. You were keeping my sister hanging on while you were having an affair with Yun Si. Shen Qian, do you really think our He family is inferior to the Shen family? My sister died under mysterious circumstances, and you're not going to do anything about it?"
"It was your sister who kidnapped them, how am I supposed to interfere?"
"Ha, have you even investigated?"
"How do you know I haven't investigated? The two maids who helped your sister that day were people who usually followed her. Would they really speak on behalf of others?"
Shen Qian glanced at him impatiently: "If you really care about your sister that much, then stop being so absurd and outrageous, making her die in peace!"
"Shut up!"
Young He Junyang raised his hand and punched Shen Qian in the face: "What right do you have to lecture me? Let me tell you, if you don't investigate, I will; if you don't care, I will. If I find out that it was Yun Si who killed my sister, I will make her pay with her blood!"
"Don't do anything reckless!"
Shen Qian rubbed his face, and before he could finish speaking, He Junyang had already stormed off in anger.
As is widely known, He Junyang is eccentric and ruthless, and acts insidiously without considering the consequences.
Over the years, relying on the power of the Shen family, he has always committed crimes outside. For He Jingjing's sake, Shen Qian has cleaned up his messes many times.
"Keep an eye on He Junyang, don't let him do anything reckless."
Worried that He Junyang's impulsiveness might cause trouble, Shen Qian quickly sent someone else to keep an eye on He Junyang.
He hadn't figured out the true nature of the Xiao Prince's mansion yet; perhaps they had all underestimated Qin Ye.
at the same time.
Chaos erupted within the Xiao Prince's residence.
The head chef couldn't take it anymore. He went to complain to Granny Qian and Eunuch De Cai, but to no avail. Later, he went to Mu Ze and denounced Mu Ze for being an incompetent head of the guards, saying that a thief had entered the mansion and was stealing food from the kitchen every day, but they did nothing about it.
And those secret guards, what are they all good for? So many days have passed and they still can't catch a thief.
The hidden guards in various places: "..."
It's not that we can't catch it.
They never even noticed it.
Mu Ze was a man who cared about his reputation. He was furious after being scolded by the head chef and immediately led all his brothers to search the carpet in the palace.
Even with just an ant, you have to determine whether it's male or female.
They ransacked the palace, turning it upside down, and finally forced the "little thief" to show himself.
The hidden guards, who had been hiding in various places, finally spotted the little thief. In order to prove to themselves what they were good for, they all put in their best effort and chased the small figure all over the mansion.
The entire palace was thrown into chaos, with everyone in disarray.
In the end, they still couldn't catch the person.
Lin Shuyan's heart jumped into her throat when she saw this scene.
During this time, she noticed that the Gu worms she had brought back last time were always very restless. Combined with a series of recent events in the manor, she realized the seriousness of the situation.
That monster from Tuya has really come to the Prince's Palace!
Lin Shuyan was filled with anxiety.
If that monster were to see her and recognize her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After much deliberation, Lin Shuyan decided to go out and lay low for a while, and return once the people from the Prince's Mansion had dealt with the monster.
She packed her things and left the palace that same day with Lianxin.
As she was leaving, she ran into Granny Qian, who asked her what she was doing.
In her haste, unable to find a suitable reason, she could only say that her status made it inconvenient for her to stay in the Prince's mansion and would displease Master Yun, so she planned to move back to the house that Qin Ye had initially bought for her.
She thought that if she said that, Granny Qian would not have the heart to keep her, or would say a few words of comfort. However, Granny Qian just nodded lightly when she heard this.
"That's good, so as not to damage the girl's reputation and make it difficult for her to find a husband in the future."
Lin Shuyan's face paled, and she forced a smile: "Granny is right."
Now, she has no choice but to retreat in order to advance.
She clung to Granny Qian with reluctance, saying, "Shuyan is leaving. Granny, please take care of yourself. I wonder if... Shuyan will be able to come to the Prince's mansion to see you and His Highness again?"
"certainly."
Granny Qian smiled and spoke in her usual kind voice: "The Xiao Prince's Mansion is like your maternal home, Miss. You are welcome to come whenever you wish."
Lin Shuyan nodded calmly, "That's good, goodbye, Granny."
As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned cold.
That old hag, she was lucky to survive last time!
When she becomes empress, she'll be the first person I deal with!
Granny Qian stared at Lin Shuyan's departing figure, her face, covered with fine lines, carrying a slight chill.
"Quick, grab her!"
Suddenly, Mu Ze's impatient roar came from behind: "Granny! Granny, get out of the way, don't block the way!"
As soon as Granny Qian turned around, a dark, unidentifiable thing rushed towards her. Granny Qian was terrified. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the dark thing changed direction and ran towards Qiwu Garden.
"Stand still!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Ze was both shocked and angry: "Quickly, you guys go around from behind and stop her at all costs. Don't let her run to Qiwu Garden."
Based on his observations of His Highness over this period of time, he concluded that this Master Yun should not be disturbed.
Otherwise, His Highness would have to chop him up.
However, what you fear most is what happens.
That dark-skinned fellow was not only fast, but also had excellent eyesight, always managing to avoid those who were hiding in front of her, ready to intercept her.
After chasing for so long, Mu Ze finally understood that the secret guards in the manor were useless to her.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Just when it seemed it was about to catch, it slipped away again in the next second.
This infuriated the guards, who were practically fuming.
Through their persistent efforts, they finally managed to force her into Qiwu Garden.
Yun Si was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea when a dark figure suddenly jumped over the courtyard wall.
The two locked eyes.
They stared at each other for a while.
The little monster stood in front of Yun Si for a long time.
Yun Si noticed her gaze fall on the stone table beside her.
Are you hungry?
She casually picked up a plate of pastries and handed it to her: "Here, they're all yours."
The little monster hesitated for a moment, just about to take a step, when Mu Ze and the others rushed in from behind.
"Master Yun, don't be afraid, your subordinate is here to save you!"
At Mu Ze's voice, the little monster rushed to Yun Si's side, snatched the pastries from her hands, and then darted into Yun Si's room.
"..."
It’s over!
They're doomed!
Mu Ze's usually cold and hard expression showed a slight breakdown. He wiped the sweat from his face, took a step forward, and knelt down directly in front of Yun Si with a thud.
"Your subordinate has failed in his duty; please punish me, Master Yun!"
Yun Si put down her teacup, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Chief Mu, she's entered my room, so from now on she's mine. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens. Now, you can leave with your people."
"ah?"
"Was I not clear enough, or did the chieftain not understand?"
