"That is not bad."

Madam Wei smiled and said, "Then we just have to wait for the 100,000 troops to arrive."

"should be."

The husband of Princess Pingnan led an army of 100,000 men.

The emperor said that it would only take a few days to get there.

When their troops arrive, she can take her children back to Kyoto.

And before that...you have to do some good things yourself.

I have to take the children with me to catch the turtle in the jar.

The bait has been put down, but if you don't catch the fish, then it's all in vain, right? !

At this moment, they suddenly heard a noisy noise coming from outside the bedroom.

Old Madam Wei frowned, and she subconsciously had a bad premonition in her heart.

"What's going on outside?"

Soon, a housekeeper came forward and said to Madam Wei, "To answer your question, there was a servant outside who accidentally knocked over a flower pot, which is why there was such a commotion."

Madam Wei glared at her, and the housekeeper immediately said to her, "Madam, everything is normal. We see nothing unusual about the flowerpot."

"The flowers are fine, the pots are fine, there's no one hiding in the rockery next to it, there's no one in the water, and the man isn't threatened by anyone else. We checked and came to report to you, don't worry."

"..."

Chen Zhining twitched his lips as he listened to her words. They really have a lot of experience.

Madam Wei nodded with a smile and said, "Mrs. Wang, you have been really hard-working recently."

"When you finish your work in two days, I will give you two taels of silver as a reward. You can use it to buy food and other necessities."

"You guys have to bear more responsibility recently, there are really too many things going on in the mansion."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately bowed with a smile on her face and said, "Oh, you are so polite."

"Madam, this is what we servants should do."

She said with a smile, grinning from ear to ear.

"We servants just want to see that you are in good health. As long as you are well, we servants will be satisfied."

She nodded, and then Madam Wei took off a jade hairpin from her head.

The old lady held the hairpin and said to her, "You have followed me for many years, so I will give it to you as a reward. Take it and go and take care of all the things under you."

"Yes, old lady."

She took the hairpin and put it on her head happily.

As a result, the moment she touched the hairpin, she began to tremble all over, her body went limp uncontrollably, she fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, and began to roll her eyes, as if she was poisoned.

“Help…Help…”

Madam Wei simply took the hairpin, raised it and stabbed her neck!

Large amounts of blood oozed out from her neck. Chen Zhining covered her mouth and forgot to scream.

She didn't react for a moment.

Zhenzhu and Liuli next to them were stunned for a moment, and wanted to shout out the next second, but then they immediately reacted and quickly covered their mouths.

They all looked at Madam Wei in shock.

Then Madam Wei said calmly, "There's something wrong with this housekeeper! Send someone to put the house under martial law! Prevent anyone from breaking in!"

"If we cause any trouble in our house, it will be the end of us!"

"..."

Chen Zhining's eyes flashed, and he roughly guessed, "Is this jade hairpin poisonous?"

The old lady nodded calmly, "Yes, I applied the poison on this hairpin earlier."

"The body is poisonous, but the jade on the hairpin is not. As long as it doesn't touch your skin, it will be fine. It's OK if it touches your hair."

"Also...I applied osmanthus oil on my hair in advance. Osmanthus oil can detoxify."

"So, once someone touches this jade hairpin, they will be poisoned and die immediately, like this housekeeper in front of me."

Chen Zhining glanced at the housekeeper lying on the ground and felt terrified. Then he heard her speak in a faint voice.

"There's something wrong with this housekeeper, Zhining, do you know how I discovered it?"

Chen Zhining thought about it carefully, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he shook his head and said, "No."

"Zhi Ning doesn't know what's going on."

After that, she smiled faintly and said, "I don't think you can guess it."

"I just said to give her two taels of silver as a reward, but these two taels of silver are easy for a housekeeper like her to get. The daily reward we give her is more than two taels."

"Why is she so happy?"

"Give him 20 taels of silver, and he will be happier."

"do you understand?"

Chen Zhining's expression changed slightly before he nodded and said, "I see."

It turned out that Madam Wei could tell from the very beginning that something was wrong with the housekeeper. No wonder she was the general's wife. Look at her reaction ability.

Afterwards, Chen Zhining immediately stood up and spoke to the people outside.

"Everyone on alert!"

The whole palace was immediately put on alert.

The sound of weapons broke out everywhere.

Many soldiers were imposing martial law everywhere in the palace.

Miss Luo took people around and many of them were discovered.

Many men in black were pushed down from the eaves, had their hands and feet tied, were fed poison, and lay on the ground, unable to live or die.

Miss Luo and the others just lay behind the rockery, listening to the noise outside, and felt extremely nervous.

Suddenly, Miss Luo felt an arrow flying from not far away. Amid the screams of the Loulan soldiers next to her, she was stabbed directly in the heart by the arrow.

Miss Luo fell to the ground with her eyes open, seemingly dead.

"!!!"

The Loulan soldiers nearby were so frightened that they ran away quickly.

No idea what happened, but they were suddenly discovered by the people inside.

Two-thirds of the soldiers that Miss Luo led were killed in the battle, and Miss Luo is also killed in the battle.

When the soldiers saw this, they ran away quickly and prepared to return to Loulan's camp.

They could no longer take care of Miss Luo. Anyway, Miss Luo had been stabbed in the heart and was already dead. They would just go back and tell the crown prince that she was dead and that would be the end of it.

They slipped away swiftly, and Miss Luo just fell to the ground, seemingly dead.

Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao came out after a while. They looked at Miss Luo lying on the ground and smiled.

Afterwards, Jiang Zhao and his men worked for half the night, and the bodies of Miss Luo and the Loulan soldiers were thrown into a guest room in the general's mansion and were guarded.
