Wake up, tell me how many of your apprentices have met such a charming and intimate person. "

"That Yu Heng and Yu Yi are going to be happy. Those subordinates of mine are almost all single. When I tell them this news another day, those people will be overjoyed." Alright, even though the both of us have made the decision, they are also willing. It"s up to fate to decide. Those acolytes weren"t like Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. They had been by her side for a long time, so they had a deep relationship with her. If they were forced to arrange marriage matters, they might do something bad …

Furthermore, she had spread out almost all of her needlework skills. She didn"t hide anything, nor did she worry about divulging anything. It was just that those people outside were constantly thinking about how she was hiding her secrets, hoping to poach someone from the Nebula Pavilion.

Evening meal, Eunuch Cheng prepared it with extreme care, every dish was exceptionally exquisite, and Mu Yunyao ate it with satisfaction. When he returned to Qin Fang Yuan, the sky was already completely dark.

Not long after entering, Jin Lan reported, "Miss, six taels are here."

"Let him in."

"Mistress." He knelt down and saluted. There were wounds on his arms and blood was dripping from them.

Mu Yunyao was shocked and hurriedly stood up and walked over, "What"s going on?"

"When this subordinate approached, I was stopped. My swordsmanship was not very good, and I merely suffered some minor injuries." His six pairs of eyes were calm without any ripples on his face. It was as if he couldn"t feel any pain on his body.

Mu Yunyao"s forehead creased and she immediately thought of the Shadow Squad. "Wei Jiu."

Guard One accompanied the Emperor at his side and was responsible for listening to his orders and protecting the Emperor"s safety. Guard Two and Five protected Grand Princess Yi and Xu Yanhan respectively, while Wei Jiu stayed by Mu Yunyao"s side. Wei Jiu had a lively personality and was a bit careless in his conduct. She had specially selected him.

A figure quickly appeared and knelt in front of Mu Yunyao. With a respectful att.i.tude, he said, "This servant greets Master."

"Six silvers is mine, I will allow him to approach. Don"t hurt him in the future."

"Yes."

Wei Jiu was his duty, so Mu Yunyao naturally couldn"t punish him. After he withdrew, she made him sit on a chair to the side and took out a medicine box to help him treat his wounds. "There have been a lot of things to do these past few days, so I forgot to tell Wei Jiu about it. I"m really sorry."

He pursed his lips and watched Mu Yunyao lower her eyes to help him clean his wounds. A struggle flashed in her eyes as she said, "Your subordinate"s status is low, I shouldn"t have worked for you …"

Mu Yunyao"s movements paused as she slightly raised her eyes to look over.

Being stared at by those clear eyes, he even forgot to breathe. His back was immediately drenched in sweat, and his hands and feet were almost nowhere to put them.

Mu Yunyao stopped her movements and called Jinlan in, "Help me treat my wounds."

"Yes, miss."

In that split-second, the warmth in his heart turned into a thousand li of ice, and even his face became extremely pale. After Jin Lan finished bandaging his wounds and retreated, he immediately got up and kneeled on the ground. "Please punish me, master."

"Hurry up and get up. You didn"t do anything wrong. What do I need to punish you for?" Mu Yunyao patiently explained, "Being a doctor for too long, it"s easy to neglect the defense of men and women. I don"t think it"s anything much, but I forgot that you don"t care." He wanted to say that he didn"t care, but his heart was beating too fast, causing him to panic. That was why he had such a reaction. It was just like how a person walking in the Dark Snow Plains suddenly encountered a clump of flames. He wanted to approach but was afraid of bringing it along …

The cold wind shattered the warmth in front of his eyes …

"Six taels?" Mu Yunyao cried out and was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time she had seen him in such a state. "What"s wrong?"

She then snapped out of her daze and said, "Please forgive me, Master."

"You …" He had always been strict with his rules, so Mu Yunyao couldn"t correct it, so she could only follow him. "You came over in a hurry, did something happen?"

"Yes, we"ve sent word that we"ve already started contacting the Lee family, but we"re still in the periphery. Prime Minister Li Qingzhou doesn"t completely trust him, and he even sent people to investigate the origin of the Shuai Bao Xuan and our name secretly." Mu Yunyao frowned, "Although the origins of these two places have already been arranged, the fake one is still fake after all. It can"t stand to be investigated in detail. The Li family was the protection of the First Prince. This time, the Emperor was so angry, but he only confined Prince Jin. He did not reward the First Prince, and instead gave him more punishments …

"Then it"s gone, and the majority of it was for the sake of the Li Family."

"Master, what are you planning to do?" Their names couldn"t give the Lee family a chance to investigate in detail. Back then, when their names appeared in Yangzhou City, they cheated so many salt merchants, and although they used their ident.i.ty as the third prince"s aides as cover, in the end, the silver did not reach the third prince. Now that the third prince had lost his power, if the Li family wanted to investigate, they would definitely be able to do so.

Find out something. I asked you to investigate the Li Family"s businesses, did you manage to find anything? "

"Reporting to Master, the Li Family does not have many businesses on the surface. They have some farmers, and they also have some shops. They only do some food business in Jiangnan, so there"s nothing else worth paying attention to."

"Jiangnan?"

Yes, the Li family does not open a grain shop, but rather travels on the road of merchants, mainly going to and fro between North Continent"s Black Dragon City and the Northwest Sky Water City. The size of the caravan is not small, and during the winter, they rested in the south of the river. Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her eyes. "In the south of the river, we can pa.s.s from North to Heavenly Water … I think there"s something wrong with this caravan. In addition, let them be careful. They would rather spread less information than expose themselves. I"ll think of a way to make the Li Family unable to control them.

Check him and the Treasure Pavilion. "

"Yes, your subordinate will go now."

Mu Yunyao looked at her arm that was about 60 taels. "You"re injured, let the others go."

"This subordinate is fine." Finishing his words, he immediately left the room.

Jin Lan walked in. "Miss, why do I feel like six taels of silver is a bit weird, as if I"m throwing a tantrum?"

"Perhaps he"s just not willing to give up on being beaten by Wei Jiu. Send some medicine over and let him rest well for the next two days. If he"s too busy, I"ll get Wei Jiu to help him."

"Yes."

After informing everyone that he was back, he saw the medicine on the table. His cold expression immediately softened.

He squatted on the windowsill and looked at Wei Jiu with shining eyes. "Six taels of silver, your martial arts are not bad, but your moves are too broad and wide. You can deal with ordinary people, but it"s not enough to deal with a.s.sa.s.sins. Are you interested in joining the Shadow Squad?"

He then turned his head around and looked at Ye Xiao coldly, "Did Master ask you to come?"

"No, I think you"re a talent. Although you"re old, you should still be fine after a bit of training. Don"t you want to stay by Master"s side for a long time?"

He put the medicine away and ignored Wei Jiu.

"Come and find me once you"ve thought it through." Wei Jiu"s tone was firm. He quickly disappeared after taking a look at the size of 60 taels. She gripped the bottle tightly as the light in her eyes gradually faded. Her empty eyes were filled with a sense of loss. "My master has another Shadow Guard by her side. The more I can help her, the fewer there are …"
