When Jin Bao returned to the west side hall, his legs were weak.

"Go back to Your Highness, everything has been cleaned up." Jin Bao saluted. "It's just that there is still a little blood on the box, which has already seeped in. Eunuch Zheng said that he will buy a new box for His Highness later."

Xue Yan turned a page of the book and hummed.

Jin Bao heaved a sigh of relief.

Since he followed Xue Yan, among other things, his endurance has been forced to grow a lot.

The man was crushed to death on the box, blood dripping all over the floor.Before this, Jinbao had only seen killing chickens. When had he ever seen a living person die in front of him?

...He is still someone who has a quarrel with him, or in other words, someone who has been tricked by him.

At the beginning, His Royal Highness Shizi found him and told him that if Dian Cui came to him for the key, he would delay it for a few days until the twelfth lunar month, and then give her the key. Make sure she thinks that she has two keys, and there is no need to return them in a hurry.

After that, as soon as Dian Cui looked for him, he was discovered by that little ancestor Xue Yan.

After the little ancestor knew the cause and effect, and what His Royal Highness asked him to do, he smiled slightly.

"Coincidentally." He said to Jin Bao. "I also have one thing that I want you to do."

Jin Bao felt a chill in his heart at the time, thinking that nothing good happened.

really.Xue Yan actually asked him to get in touch with the dead soldiers lurking outside the imperial city, and asked them to bring him saffron and musk.

Jin Bao wanted to go directly to the imperial hospital to get them, after all, they were just common medicines, and it was really not worth risking contacts outside the palace for them.

But Xue Yan disagreed.

"Those medicines need to be obtained from unknown sources." He said.

Naturally, Jin Bao didn't dare to ask why, so he could only ask Xue Yan what to do after getting the medicine.

Unexpectedly, what his master asked him to do was more terrible than contacting the dead outside the palace.

"Go and hide these things together in Diancui's room." Xue Yan put some needles, threads and brains from nowhere on the table and ordered. "There must be some medicines in her room, which are hidden in places that seem obvious but are inconspicuous. Look for incense burners, dowry, tea pots, etc., and after you find them, wrap some of them and hide them in her room together." Now, bring some back."

This... go to someone else's room to do it?

Jin Bao was terrified.

But his little life, including the young and old, is in Xue Yan's hands.

His potential was actually forced out by this kind of coercion, and he successfully followed Xue Yan's instructions to do all these things well.

So, on that day, he watched Xue Yan and Jun Huailang's arrangement, forcing Dian Cui to death step by step.

Jin Bao's hands were also stained with blood.

Apart from him, there are no other servants in charge in the west hall.He was so frightened that his legs turned in circles, he only thought that Diancui would ask him for his life in his dream, but he still held his breath, pretending not to know, and led someone to dispose of the body and clean up the blood.

After all, if he showed his feet, he would still be the first to die.

After finishing this series of things, Diancui didn't ask him for his life, on the contrary, he himself, seeing blood and corpses, was not so afraid.

However, Jin Bao still had some doubts.

Seeing that his master looked calm and seemed to be in a good mood, he boldly asked: "But, master, there is one more thing this slave doesn't understand."

Xue Yan glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Seeing that there was no fierce light in those eyes, Jin Bao knew that Xue Yan acquiesced in his questioning, and quickly said: "That day, the court lady was killed in the warehouse, not too far from the master. The master is very skilled in martial arts, and he can obviously stop her , why let her be killed? If she doesn't die, take her to the Department of Punishment, maybe you can ask something."

"I can't ask." Xue Yan said flatly.

"Huh?" Jin Bao was puzzled.

Then, he heard Xue Yan say: "The person who instigated Diancui is from the palace. This is their territory. They are not as restrained as Dongchang. They have a lot of ways to make the maid in the Punishment Department say nothing. The accidental death made this matter unsolved. Instead of this, it is better to let her die in fear of crime in front of the emperor, so as to leave an impression on that idiot so that he can pursue it himself."

Jinbao heard him say "emperor" on the left and "idiot" on the right, words that would kill a hundred heads, and he felt chills running down his spine, but he didn't dare to refute, he just thought he was deaf and nothing hear.

"Then... can His Majesty find out?" He asked cautiously.

Xue Yan said lightly: "He doesn't have the ability, but it's enough to serve as a warning. The people over there are cautious and won't let anyone in again."

Because of this!Jinbao suddenly realized.

"It's a pity that the mastermind behind the scenes may not be found out." He sighed.

"Why can't you find out?" Xue Yan glanced at him.

Jin Bao met his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat again.

It's over.Looking at it with this look, it means that there is another thing to lose my head and I have to do it myself.

"... What other orders do you have, Master?" Jin Bao was trembling.

Xue Yan curled his lips jokingly: "I've grown up."

As he spoke, he put a small paper bag on the table, and said, "This is the medicine powder you stole last time. Wait until the fifteenth day of this month, at the same time, still go there, and someone will pick you up. Let them Go and find out the origin of this prescription and how it was sent to the palace... Let them find a court lady who is loyal, flexible, easy to control, and will not betray her, and find a way to send it to Concubine Shu."

Jin Bao was dumbfounded: "This... can it be done?"

Xue Yan glanced at him indifferently, and said nothing.

Yanyun Iron Cavalry is an elite army trained by King Yan for more than [-] years.Although the land of Yan is lost now, the iron cavalry of Yanyun has been preserved, but it is not time to use them, and they are temporarily sent to the old department of King Yan and the guard general of Yanmen Gate.

The dozens of people who came back with him were all dead soldiers raised by Yanyun Iron Cavalry. They were used to spy on the enemy's intelligence.

For them, doing things in Chang'an is much easier.

It's just that these people can only hide in the dark, and he still needs help from the bright side, so that he can gain a foothold in the court in the future.So these days, he keeps a low profile, reveals his weaknesses, and just waits for Dongchang to take the bait.

Seeing that Xue Yan didn't speak, Jin Bao also wisely didn't ask any more questions.Just as he was about to retreat, Xue Yan called to stop him again.

"One more thing." He said lightly.

and also? !

Jinbao collapsed.

He wished he could kneel down for Xue Yan.You have so many omnipotent subordinates in your hands, just let me, a slave whose life is as cheap as grass, be spared!

However, Xue Yan acted as if he didn't see the expression on his face, and said, "Go to Dongchang again today. You don't need to find a way to get in, just poke your head around the door, and those gangsters will find you. No need to pretend , as stupid as you are now, the more stupid you act, the safer you will be."

Jinbao: "...."

You can scold directly!

"After that, what did the servant tell them?" Jin Bao didn't dare to say much, and asked cautiously.

"Just tell them what happened a few days ago." Xue Yan said. "Tell them that you finally slipped away when you got the chance. Then tell them that it was because of Eunuch Wu's casual suggestion that I thought of asking people to search the house, and found the medicine by accident. Now , I have won the favor of Concubine Shu because of this, it is all thanks to Eunuch Wu, the situation is much better now, I have to thank him."

Jin Bao was dumbfounded, and stared at Xue Yan dumbfounded.His face was cold and contemptuous, and the flattering words came out of his mouth, which seemed both dramatic and inconsistent.

After finishing speaking, Xue Yan looked at Jin Bao: "What are you doing in a daze? Remember?"

Jin Bao went through what he said just now in his mind, and quickly replied: "Remember it!"

Xue Yan nodded: "As long as the other party reminds you that Concubine Shu can rely on you in the future, then your mission will be considered complete."

In this way, it would be a clear path for Concubine Shu's family.Dongchang was weak in the palace, so he would not dislike Jinbao's tipping off to them, nor would he refuse to pull Concubine Shu and Jun's family into their camp.

In this way, Dongchang will also help Concubine Shu and Jun's family if there is any problem in the future.

As for whether Dongchang had the idea of ​​demolishing the bridge in the river, when it really came to that time, they couldn't help it.

Jin Bao nodded repeatedly, looking at him expectantly, waiting for Xue Yan to explain the reason to him.However, Xue Yan's eyes fell on the book in front of him again, and he was already concentrating on reading the book, and didn't intend to explain to him for a long time.

Jin Bao was used to being bored by Xue Yan, he had long been used to it, and when he saw that he didn't intend to speak, he would retreat.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jin Bao went to open the door, and saw Jun Huailang standing at the door, smiling and nodding to him: "Aren't you bothering me?"

Jin Bao hurriedly saluted and turned to invite him in.

Jun Huailang walked into the room, looked at Xue Yan who was sitting at the table by the door, and said, "My aunt asked me to come. She wants to make a cloak for you, so let me ask about your size."

Xue Yan never understood these things.He paused, and looked sideways at Jin Bao.

Jinbao doesn't know about this stuff either.He faltered and said: "The servant asked someone to measure it for His Highness?"

Jun Huailang also expected it.Xue Yan didn't have any maids by his side, and Zheng Guangde didn't pay attention to making clothes for him before, so he made them according to similar sizes.

These days Mingluan Palace was extremely busy again, Jun Huailang had no intention of bothering Zheng Guangde any more, so when he came, he brought a tape measure.Seeing that Jinbao said he was going to find someone, he handed the tape measure in front of Jinbao and said, "I brought it with me. The cloak is not troublesome, just measure the upper body."

Jin Bao took the ruler in a daze, and met his master's gaze when he turned his head.

Light-coloured pupils tend to look aggressive, and his master is already aggressive, seeing his cold eyes, Jin Bao's hands softened.

His master hated people touching him the most. When he was seriously injured and couldn't lift his arm, he didn't let Jin Bao touch him.

Jin Bao cherishes his life and also cherishes his hands, he doesn't want to have his hands chopped off by his master just because of such a trivial matter at a young age.

As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw His Royal Highness standing in front of him waiting for his reply.

His master was terribly fierce when he was facing him, but never fierce to this living Bodhisattva!

Jin Bao quickly stuffed the tape measure in Jun Huailang's hand.

"Your Highness, this servant still has some important matters to attend to, so I will trouble you to measure it for His Highness Fifth!"

After finishing speaking, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, beat a thousand hastily, and fled outside.

He really has something important to do, so he didn't lie to anyone!

After all, he would rather face the evil ghosts in the East Factory than stay here and measure the size of this living hell.
