Three days later, a servant from the Sheng family brought a wooden box.

Inside was a stack of thick banknotes, adding up, it was exactly the 10 taels of silver that Lu Xiyue wanted.

Lu Xiyue was not surprised by Mr. Sheng's compromise.

To her surprise, Mr. Sheng had already crossed over to Zhao Tianmao and colluded with Yao Xinyu.

Zhao Tianmao never thought that the Sheng family he was trying to use, and the Sheng family he was going to use as a stepping stone, would also step on him to climb up.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Sheng would actually give you 10 taels of silver." Wei Ning glanced at the thick layer of bank notes, a little surprised.

This little girl can always use all kinds of unimaginable ways to get money.

Holding the wooden box, Lu Xiyue sneered: "He is attached to Yao Xinyu, and I know the background of these dead men. These dead men not only failed in the assassination, but were also thrown at the gate of his house."

So he threatened old master Sheng that if he didn't give money, he would spread the identity of the dead man.

The battle between the third prince and the fifth prince is in full swing. If such a thing spreads at this time, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the third prince.

After all, Xiao Yunheng had already been expelled from the capital and demoted to a commoner, and the third prince wanted to assassinate him at this time, there must be a reason.

No matter what the reason is, it will always be reminiscent of a conspiracy.

How could the third prince please him? There were many ministers in the court who were vacillating.

Mr. Sheng may not have thought about the reason, but he must be concerned about the identities of these people.

If these people are offended, Sheng Jiaqi will end well.

This was the confidence that Lu Xiyue was able to get the 10 taels of silver.

"You're going to leave it like that?" Wei Ning was a little curious.

The Lu Xiyue he knew was not a person who would calm things down when he got money.

Besides, this little money is nothing to the current Lu Xiyue.

Didn't Zhao Pinqian already regain the identity of the Patriarch of the Zhao Family?

"of course not."

The girl's voice was indifferent, as if a layer of frost had condensed on it.

Lu Xiyue summoned Yingyue.

The success of her strategy was due to Yingyue's contribution. Since she was already on the same boat, Lu Xiyue would naturally not treat her badly.

She has been researching the medicine to cure her childhood sweetheart, and prepared twelve pills according to what Yingyue said.

If the patient was in sight, she wouldn't have to spend so many days studying pills.

These pills can effectively remove the poison in his body, one pill every three days, after taking all the medicines, he will be fine.

After taking the pill, Yingyue's eyes showed gratitude.

Similarly, she knew very well that if Lu Xiyue was willing to let her go back, there must be other things.

"Girl, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

As long as he can be cured, even if she is willing to die.

Seeing the resolute gaze of the girl who was going through fire and water, Lu Xiyue reassured her: "It's not a big deal, you just need to tell Mr. Sheng that he gave me money, and a few days ago, he secretly helped me open a new shop."

It's not impossible to let her poison or something in old master Sheng's food.

But she prefers to watch the dog bite the dog scene.

Yingyue put away the pills, and after listening to her words, she understood that she was planning to let them kill each other.

"Don't worry, girl, I will leave this matter to me."

"One more thing, after you go back, don't tell them about me and Xiao Yunheng, just say that I am at peace with him on the surface, but not in private."

Yingyue was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask the reason, and quickly returned to her room to pack her things and set off.

In the past few days, Mr. Sheng's heart is suffering.

None of the dead men survived, and there is no news from the capital. The only thing to be thankful for is that the magistrate is willing to rely on his face to fool the affairs of these dead men.

It is only said to the outside world that there are wicked people making trouble in Yannan.

Those villains are naturally more than 50 dead soldiers.

Most people don't believe the perfunctory answer given by the government.

What kind of wicked people make trouble, kill people and pile them up at the gates of others, it is possible that they are purely for the sake of disgusting people.

Not to mention, those people were wearing exactly the same clothes, and they were all covering their faces. At first glance, they were not ordinary people.

Doubts belong to doubts, and it is up to them whether to believe or not, even if the government cannot come to a conclusion, it has nothing to do with them.

Just watch it as a show.

Under the order of the government, the matter of the dead man was only a few days old, and no one dared to mention it outside.

Everything seemed to go away easily.

While Mr. Sheng was anxiously waiting for news from the capital, Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng met the fifth prince, Ji Yunyan.

The young man was dressed in scarlet clothes, his long and narrow black eyebrows were slightly raised, and he had a handsome face. He didn't deliberately reveal his identity, and only brought a guard here.

Lu Xiyue only glanced at the young man's face, and then took another look.

Ji Yunyan's appearance was very beautiful and delicate, but not feminine.

Different from Xiao Yunheng's coldness and elegance, he is like a lush green bamboo in a bamboo forest, with a bright wind and a bright moon, elegant and handsome, but also noble and elegant, exuding a majesty that cannot be ignored.

Lu Xiyue thought, this fifth prince has a bit of an emperor's appearance on him.

But she still prefers Xiao Yunheng's hanging.

She took a second look, then silently withdrew her gaze.

Just paused for a moment, Xiao Yunheng followed her gaze to look at Ji Yunyan.

Different from what he remembered, although the fifth prince he had met was so gentle and refined, he was the least competitive one among the princes.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, he has been able to compete with Ji Wuhen, and even has the upper hand all the time.

It is impossible to achieve such a great achievement overnight, unless he has been hiding his clumsiness before.

The two sides met without any pleasantries, and went straight to the point.

"I want to meet the old man from the palace."

"I'm afraid it won't work now."

"Why?" Ji Yunyan was slightly puzzled.

Xiao Yunheng said calmly: "He was taken away by my secret guards to find the evidence that he hid back then to slander my Prince Ning's Mansion."

Ji Yunyan pursed her lips and asked softly, "How long will it take?"

"If your Highness is not in a hurry to leave, you can wait for a few days, which should be these two days."

Ji Yunyan frowned slightly.

When he came to Yannan this time, he asked his father for sick leave and asked the guards to pretend that he was staying in the palace so that he could be free.

He can stay here for three to five days at most, and then he must rush back.

Ji Yunyan couldn't make up his mind if he couldn't see the old people in the palace, so he could only wait here for a few days as he said.

Lu Xiyue asked his servants to arrange a residence for him.

Standing in the yard, looking at the two people walking side by side, Ji Yunyan felt suspicious.

After Lu Xiyue left, Ji Yunyan asked Xiao Yunheng just now: "You and Lu Xiyue?"

He remembered that Lu Xiyue's reputation in the capital was not very good.
