When Jinbao returned to the west hall, his legs were soft.

"Go back to His 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 would return to His Highness for a new box."

Xue Yan turned a page of the book and hummed.

Jinbao let out a long breath.

Since he followed Xue Yan, if nothing else, his ability to bear has been forced to grow a lot.

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

Two, don't rush to return them.

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

The little ancestor smiled slightly after knowing the cause and effect, and what His Royal Highness asked him to do.

"What a coincidence." He said to Jinbao. "I also have one thing I want you to do."

Jinbao felt a chill at that time and felt that there was nothing good.

Sure enough. Xue Yan actually asked him to get in touch with the dead men lurking outside the imperial city, and asked the dead men to get saffron and musk for him.

Jin Bao wants to go directly to the imperial hospital to get it, after all, it is just some ordinary medicine, and it is not worth it to risk contacting outside the palace for them.

But Xue Yan disagreed.

“Those medicines have to come from unknown sources,” he said.

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

I didn't expect that what his master wanted him to do was worse than contacting the dead outside the palace.

"Go and hide these things in Diancui's room." Xue Yan put some needles and threads on the table and ordered. "There will definitely be some medicines in her room, hidden in places that seem obvious but not noticeable in reality. You can look for incense burners, make-up boxes, tea pots, etc., and after you find them, pack some of them and hide them in her room together. , and bring some back."

This... do it in someone's room?

Jin Bao was frightened enough.

But his little life, along with his family, young and old, is all in Xue Yan's hands.

His potential was forced out by this kind of coercion, and he succeeded in doing all these things according to Xue Yan's instructions.

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

Jinbao's hands were also stained with blood.

Besides him, there is no other servant in the west hall. He was so frightened that his legs were spinning in circles. He only thought that Diancui would demand his life from him in his dream, but he still held a strong breath, pretended not to know, and took someone to dispose of the corpse and clean up the blood.

After all, if he reveals his faults, he will still be the first to die.

However, Jinbao still has some doubts.

Seeing that his master looked calm and in a good mood, he dared to ask: "But, master, there is one thing the servant doesn't understand."

Xue Yan glanced at him and said nothing.

Jinbao saw that there was no murderous light in his eyes, and knew that Xue Yan acquiesced to his question, and quickly said: "That day, the palace maid was killed in the warehouse, not far from the master. The master is highly skilled in martial arts, and he can stop her, why did he let her be killed? If she doesn't die, if she takes her to the Department of Penalties, she might be able to ask something."

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

"Huh?" Jinbao was puzzled.

Then, he heard Xue Yan say: "The person who instructs Diancui is in the palace, this is their territory, and they are not as constrained as Dongchang. They have a way to make the palace maid be careful. Xing Si died unexpectedly without saying anything, and let the matter go unsolved. Instead of this, let her die in fear of the crime in front of the emperor, and leave an impression on the fool's mind, so that he can pursue it himself. "

Jinbao listened to his words "emperor" on the left and "idiot" on the right, which were enough to kill a hundred heads. Hearing his spine chilled, he didn't dare to refute, he just thought of himself Fang was deaf and heard nothing.

"Then... can His Majesty find out?" he asked carefully.

Xue Yan said lightly: "He doesn't have the ability, but it is enough to be used as a warning. The people over there are cautious and will not let anyone in."

Because of this! Jinbao suddenly realized.

"Unfortunately, the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be found out." He sighed.

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

Jin Bao met his eyes, and his heart froze again.

Done. Looking at this look, it is that there is something to do by myself.

"...What else is there to order from the master?" Jinbao trembled.

Xue Yan hooked her lips playfully: "I have grown."

Speaking, he put a small paper package on the table and said, "This is the powder you stole last time. Wait until the fifteenth of this month, it's the same time, still go there. , someone will pick you up. Let them find out the origin of this prescription and how it was sent to the palace.... Then let them find a court lady who is loyal, agile, well-controlled, and will not turn against the water, and find a way to send it to Concubine Shu. ."

Jin Bao was dumbfounded: "Can this... be done?"

Xue Yan glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Yanyun Iron Cavalry is an elite warrior that King Yan spent more than twenty years training. Although Yan's land is now lost, Yan Yun's iron cavalry has been retained, but when they are not used now, they are temporarily sent to the old commander of King Yan and the general of Yanmen Gate.

.

For them, working in Changan is much easier.

It's just that these people can only hide in the dark. Therefore, these days he keeps a low profile, reveals his weaknesses, and waits for Dongchang to take the bait.

Seeing that Xue Yan didn't speak, Jinbao didn't ask any more questions. Just when he was about to quit, Xue Yan stopped him again.

"One more thing." He said lightly.

Also? !

Jinbao crashed.

He wanted to kneel down to Xue Yan. You have so many omnipotent subordinates in your hands, so let me go, this humble servant!

Son will find you. Don't pretend, just the stupid you are now, the more stupid you act, the safer you will be."

Jinbao: “….”

You can scold!

"Afterwards, what did the servants tell them?" Jinbao didn't dare to say more, and asked cautiously.

"Tell them what happened a few days ago." Xue Yan said. "Tell them that you managed to get a chance and slipped away. Tell them again, 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, and now the situation is much better, I need to thank him."

Jin Bao was dumbfounded and looked at Xue Yan in a stunned manner. His face was cold and contemptuous, and the flattering words in his mouth came right out of his mouth, looking dramatic and discordant.

After finishing speaking, Xue Yan looked at Jinbao: "What are you doing stupidly? Remember?"

Jinbao went through what he just said in his mind, and quickly replied: "Remember!"

Xue Yan nodded: "As long as the other party mentions you and says that Concubine Shu can rely on you in the future, then your task will be completed."

In this way, even if it is a clear road for Concubine Shu's family. Dongchang was weak in the palace, and would not dislike Jinbao to tip them off, nor would he refuse to bring Concubine Shu and Jun's family into their camp.

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

As for whether the East Factory has the idea of ​​crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it is really up to them.

Jin Bao nodded again and again, looked at him with hope, 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 continued to read the book with all his attention, and did not intend to explain it to him for a long time.

Jin Bao was used to making fun of himself in Xue Yan's place.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jinbao went to open the door, and saw Jun Huailang standing at the door, smiled and nodded to him: "Don't bother?"

Jinbao hurriedly saluted and invited him in.

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

Xue Yan has never understood this. He paused and looked sideways at Jinbao.

Jinbao doesn't know about this stuff. He hesitated and said, "The servant will find someone to measure it for His Highness?"

Jun Huailang also expected it. There was no palace maid by Xue Yan's side. Before Zheng Guangde made clothes for him, he didn't care.

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

Jin Bao took the ruler and turned around to meet his master's gaze.

Light pupils make it easy to look fierce, plus his master is already fierce, and when he meets his cold eyes, Jinbao's hands soften.

His master hates people touching him the most.

Jinbao cherishes his life and cherishes his own hands.

When he turned his eyes, he saw His Royal Highness, who was standing in front of him waiting for his reply.

When his master was facing him, he was terribly fierce, but he was never fierce to this living Bodhisattva!

Jinbao hurriedly put the tape measure in Jun Huailang's hand.

"His Royal Highness, the servants still have some important things to do, so please take care of the Fifth Highness!"

After he finished speaking, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, hurriedly hit him, and ran out.

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

After all, he would rather face the evil spirits in Dongchang who eat people but don't spit out bones, and he doesn't want to stay here and measure the size of this living Yama.
