Chapter 19 Empty Room

"Mom, we don't have to do anything. We just need to wait and watch the show. Maybe one day the regent will be unhappy and kill that little bitch." Mu Shuxue said excitedly.

"Well, daughter, we can't just wait, we have to be prepared. The chronic poison we gave her before actually made her come back to life again. This time we asked Dr. Zhao to get some more powerful poisons, which will definitely kill her.

Only the transparent kind will do."

After finishing speaking, the second lady looked away and said, "As for how to poison her again, we need to consider this matter in the long term."

"Mother, the eldest lady has left. I see they didn't take anything before leaving. Can we bring over the valuable things from their room? The ornaments in the eldest lady's room are worth at least a thousand taels." Mu Mu.

Shuxue's eyes were filled with greedy light.

"Well, since they are gone, it means that those things are no longer needed. Wouldn't it be a waste if no one uses them."

The mother and daughter looked at each other and both showed proud smiles.

The second lady shouted outside, "Xiao Cui, come in."

Xiao Cui opened the door curtain and came in, saying, "Second Madam, my servant is here."

"Go and have a look at the eldest lady's yard. The eldest lady has left the Prime Minister's Mansion now. Bring over all the valuable things in her yard. I'll see what to do with them, whether to sell them or keep them for the old lady's use."

"Slave, I obey. Let's go over and take a look."

"Well, you can bring a few more maids here so you don't have to go back and forth several times."

"My slave, you obey." Xiaocui accepted the order and left.

The second lady and Mu Shuxue waited happily.

After a while, Xiaocui walked in, knelt down and kowtowed,

"Second Madam, there is nothing in the First Madam's yard. Every room is empty."

"What? How could it be? They only had a small baggage when they left. Could it be that you, a dog slave, are blind and can't see it?"

"Back to Miss Second, there is indeed nothing left. Every room is empty, even..."

"What are you talking about? Why are you hesitating? If you don't tell me quickly, I will kill you."

Xiaocui kowtowed repeatedly, "Back to Miss Second, even the beds in each room are gone. All the utensils in the small kitchen are empty."

The second lady and Mu Shuxue looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Didn't they rest in Jingya Courtyard last night? I didn't see anyone moving anything early in the morning.

It's so weird, it's a bit scary when you think about it.

"You go down first, daughter, let's go find your father."

Mother and daughter hurriedly went to find Prime Minister Mu.

Mu Fengyan and Madam Han were walking on the street in a carriage.

At this time, Mu Fengyan's stomach growled.

Mu Fengyan glanced at her mother awkwardly. They had been busy and it seemed they hadn't even eaten lunch yet.

Han touched her daughter's head gently, "Yan'er, are you hungry?"

Mu Fengyan nodded sheepishly.

Mr. Han looked outside and saw that it was not far from the restaurant under his name.

"Yan'er, how about we go to Heyilou for lunch? It's my mother's restaurant. You can order whatever you want."

Mu Fengyan's eyes were shining. She wanted to see what her mother's restaurant was like, and she also wanted to try this ancient food.

He nodded happily and shouted outside,

"Qingfeng, let's go to Heyi Tower for lunch first, and then go to Renyazi's to buy a maid after lunch."

"Okay, Miss Muta."

Qing Feng turned the horse's head and drove to another street. After a while, he arrived at the door of the restaurant.

Mu Fengyan got off the carriage first, and then helped her mother get off the carriage as well.

Mu Fengyan looked at the restaurant. It had two floors and the decoration was very luxurious. It was one of the best restaurants in the entire Holy City.

In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, the two men by the window were looking at Mu Fengyan and Madam Han who got out of the car.

"Lijue, isn't that the carriage from your residence? And isn't that the eldest lady Han from the Prime Minister's residence? The one next to her is..." The man didn't look like a maid, but he said Miss Mu was too thin.

After a while, he had never seen Miss Mu Da before.

"That is Mu Fengyan, Miss Mu Da from the Prime Minister's Mansion." A cold voice answered the question from the other side.

"Ah? This is your future princess? She is too thin, right? But her smart eyes are really beautiful, as if she can talk. Li Jue, from the moment Miss Mu Da jumped off the carriage, she was like

It can be seen that he is a capable person. But he doesn’t know his skills.”

The man opposite looked at the talkative man in front of him coldly, said nothing, and continued to taste the tea in his hand.

Before Mu Fengyan entered the door, she glanced at the room on the second floor opposite. As soon as she got out of the car, she felt two eyes staring at her. Although the eyes were not malicious, it was uncomfortable to be watched all the time.

However, the windows on the second floor were blocked by curtains, and the appearance of the person inside could not be seen clearly. Mu Fengyan ignored it and went directly to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant with her mother.

"Lijue, what am I talking about? This little girl is very alert. She can feel it when we look at her through the window. It seems that you have found a very powerful princess." The man joked.

"Can it not be powerful? She can find out the poison that even Divine Doctor Sun couldn't detect with just one pulse."

"So powerful? Li Jue, people outside have several versions of what happened to you, the princess, coming out of the tomb? What do you think of this matter?"

The man opposite raised his eyebrows, but his voice was still cold and indifferent, "If you have any version, please tell me."

"You don't know?" The man's eyes immediately became filled with gloating and gossip, and he said,

"If you don't know, let me tell you. Some people say that your princess has a tough life, and the King of Hell didn't accept her. When she arrived at the Palace of the King of Hell, he was driven back by the King of Hell.

Some people also say that your princess crawled out of the grave specifically to defeat people. The emperor asked Mr. Chen of Si Tianjian for a divination. Your princess is a great evil, so the emperor is eager to marry her to you.

Some people say that your princess is not dead at all, it was a rumor deliberately spread by Prime Minister Mu.

The even more outrageous theory is that the eldest daughter of the Mu family was picked out from the grave. Originally, these people wanted to steal valuable things from Miss Mu’s grave. Unexpectedly, they didn’t steal anything and woke up Miss Mu.

, those who stole things were scared to death beside the tomb, and reported to the Lord of Hell for Miss Mu Da."

Ye Lijue frowned as he listened to the random rumors from his friend and subordinate.

"Hey, Li Jue, these are not my words, they are all spread by the people in the Holy City."

"None of these rumors are correct. The king's future princess was dug out of the grave by the king himself."

The man opposite was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

He felt that those rumors were not as impactful and frightening as what Ye Lijue said to him.

Ye Lijue glanced at the man across from her and slowly tasted the tea in her hand.

After a while, the man asked,

"Li Jue, are you telling the truth? This is too incredible."

"It's absolutely true. When she crawled out of the grave, she scared Qing Feng and the others. After pulling her out of the grave, she gave me a pill to cure the poison in my body. If it hadn't been for her

, maybe I have no life left to sit with you and have tea again."

The man was horrified again. He was also a traveler and had seen many bizarre things, but there had never been one thing like this that overturned his previous knowledge.

The man quickly took a sip of tea to calm down his shock. It was so shocking, so unbelievable, and it had such an impact on him.

Ye Lijue still looked calm, looking out the window and towards the restaurant opposite. He knew that this restaurant belonged to the eldest lady Han, and he estimated that they would come here to have dinner at noon, so he invited his friends here.

He is really becoming more and more curious about that little girl now. He wonders how she felt after receiving the decree of marriage.
