I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 243 Complete preparations

After Xiahou Rui's disturbance, Leng Yue became less anxious and quickly calmed down.

Since I am going to the palace with Xueying, I must make full preparations.

She quickly came to the carriage and saw a pair of big peeping eyes behind the slightly lifted curtain at the window.

But he didn't expose her. Instead, he leaned against the window, stood with his arms folded across his chest, and said, "You go back first. We'll meet at Yue Man Tower the night before we enter the palace."

Xin Youran, who was originally peeking, quickly lowered the curtains, then flung them open again with a wry smile on her face. "Hey, have you talked to Xia Hourui?"

"It's okay, it's okay, you two... just be nice."

She gave him a look that said she understood everything, "Then Lao Guan and I will go back first. Be careful!"

Leng Yue was speechless and ignored her.

Instead, he gave Lao Guan some instructions and asked them to be careful.

As the carriage moved further away, Leng Yue said to Xia Hou Rui, who had been staying beside her, "Can I borrow your horse?"

Seeing her serious face, Xia Hou Rui was a little worried, "Is there something wrong?"

"I'll take you."

Leng Yue: “No need.”

As if realizing that his tone was not very good, he continued, "I still have to make preparations before entering the palace and prepare for the worst."

She patted his shoulder and said, "You too..."

Before Xiahou Rui could react, Leng Yue took the reins from him, quickly mounted the horse, turned the horse's head, and headed towards the capital.

Xia Hou Rui: ...

His beloved horse!

Without daring to stop, he rode on the same horse with the Jinwu Guards and started chasing Leng Yue.

I always feel that she is going to do something big and doesn't want him to know.

He was curious, but more worried. Leng Yue's horsemanship was unmatched, and she had already thrown him off in a short time...

Leng Yuejian went to Ningxiang Pavilion only after getting rid of Xiahou Rui.

When Qiu Shuyi saw that she came alone, she turned around and invited her into the backyard.

"Hey, Miss Yue, it's been a long time since we last met. I really miss you~"

Leng Yue: Your "long time" is really a long time, it's only been two days.

As Qiu Shuyi was about to touch her smooth little face, Leng Yue slapped her away.

Too lazy to waste time talking to her, "Where is Liefeng?"

Qiu Shuyi restrained her expression, "It's only been a short while and you've already changed your tune. You don't even call me Brother Liefeng anymore."

After she said that, Leng Yue seemed a little unnatural.

Yes, since when did she stop being so clingy?

I don't even care where he is or what he does...

"Oh~~ Could it be that he has fallen in love with someone else?"

"Hahahaha, I guess I was right."

"Whose young master is this? Is he better than Lord Liefeng?"

"I'm really curious!"

Leng Yue scolded: "Alright, tell me where your Lord Liefeng is."

"I have something urgent to do with him."

As she spoke, she approached Qiu Shuyi step by step, her eyes full of warning.

"Don't play tricks on me. I have a bad temper."

Qiu Shuyi felt a hard object pressing against her waist at this moment. She opened her mouth and said in a trembling voice, "He, he seems to be working for the Prime Minister's Mansion recently..."

Leng Yue frowned, then quickly left Ningxiang Pavilion and disappeared without a trace.

Qiu Shuyi paused for a moment before complaining in her heart: Fortunately, she is not her love rival...

On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Leng Yue kept thinking about one question: When did Liefeng start working for that bastard?

What exactly is going on?

Is it the task assigned by above?

Does he know what that bastard did to their family?

The Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to be more heavily guarded than the Marquis Dingguo's Mansion, but this was nothing for an assassin of her level.

When she disguised herself as a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion and mixed in with a group of maids, she heard a lot of people talking.

"The young lady got really angry today, so we have to serve her carefully."

"If the master is unhappy, someone will die!"

"In two days, the young lady will enter the palace for the election. If she is patient, she will soon become the Crown Princess."

"Crown Princess? That's hard to say. I heard that the Queen's niece is the candidate for Crown Princess."

"Even if she's not the Crown Princess, she's definitely the Princess of Ning. This time the palace is selecting concubines for the three princes!"

"With His Majesty personally supervising, this time it's definitely a done deal."

"Oh, stop talking nonsense, watch out for your lives!"

"We have no say in the affairs of the royal family. More work, less talk!"

After hearing the last part, Leng Yue felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

According to what they said, He Qizon's daughter is going to marry Xiahou Rui and become the Princess of Ning.

Xiahou Rui, since you have decided to take me to the palace, let me help you cut off this retreat.

If the verdict was overturned, the Prime Minister's residence would certainly be raided or he would be exiled. She also had another selfish motive. Even if she failed, Xiahou Rui could at least escape unscathed.

While he was thinking, Leng Yue was suddenly called.

"You, bring over the black plum soup that the young lady loves to drink."

Oh, you can't find it even if you wear iron shoes, but it doesn't take any effort to get it.

"Yes."

Leng Yue respectfully took the tray and followed the other maids to He Yunshu's boudoir.

When no one noticed, she quietly took out a small medicine bottle from her sleeve and poured it into the bowl of black plum soup. Soon the white powder dissolved in it.

It is already the beginning of summer, and it got hot earlier this year than in previous years, so He Yunshu is a little greedy for ice.

At this moment, she was half-sitting on the couch, looking out the window with a pair of tender eyes. Because it was too hot, her coat was half-taken off, and her personal maid beside her was fanning her slowly.

This was the scene Leng Yue saw when he came in. Wow, what a beauty!

I'm sorry, Xiahou Rui.

Alas, you are not so lucky.

"Miss, the black plum soup you requested."

He Yunshu turned her head back when she heard the voice, her brows slightly furrowed, "Look up."

Leng Yue just happened to raise the tray to cover her face when she bowed.

She didn't expect that this vase-like beauty would be so vigilant, so she had to do as she was told.

He Yunshu looked at her several times before saying lightly, "Come forward."

Leng Yue couldn't help but become alert. There shouldn't be any problem with her clothes. What was the problem?

"Ok?"

When she was stunned, it seemed that she had displeased He Yunshu.

Then the maid beside her scolded: "Are you deaf?"

"Didn't you hear the young lady ask you to come over?"

Leng Yue had no choice but to step forward quickly, but she was ready to fight back at any time.

This vase-like young lady seems to be no ordinary person.

"You feed me."

Leng Yue: ...

Is this her personal hobby?

It's reasonable to just stretch out your hand for clothes and open your mouth for food.

But Leng Yue has never fed anyone in her life.

Seeing that He Yunshu was staring at her, she had to be strong and calm. She picked up the bowl and spoon, stirred it gently twice, and then scooped a spoonful of black plum soup and fed it to He Yunshu's mouth.

Just when it was about to reach her lips, He Yunshu grabbed her wrist.

very tight!

"Someone come! Catch the assassin!"
