Even though he had dealt with the hidden spies with lightning-like methods, it did not mean that there were no problems within the manor anymore. For example, there were still Leng Dong and Zhang Mingde.

Leng Qiu and Leng Dong were both from the Duke of Zhenguo Palace, but the people they were loyal to were different. Leng Qiu had completely confirmed this, but Leng Dong, who had maintained his relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo Palace the entire time, had unknowingly revealed a lot of information. The reason why Murong Ling did not deal with him this time, was because she wanted to use him as a pawn for the counter surveillance.

As for Zhang Mingde …

Murong Ling frowned in worry. This person did not have any flaws at all, she had never contacted anyone, even the flowers and plants placed in his house could not find any useful information, it seemed like she was really just an ordinary steward in the palace.

"Have you guys checked on Zhang Mingde?" In the end, she still asked Li Cangmin.

Surprisingly, even Li Cangmin was unable to determine what was wrong with his background, "The background is clean, and in the past ten years, I have managed the entire house in a neat and orderly manner. I have not done anything out of line."

The so-called outrageous thing was that Zhang Mingde had never contacted any of the forces in the capital. But since he had been accumulating power in the mansion, he had a common problem with bullying the lord and his servants. This was a common disease common to common servants.

Of course, Murong Ling could still feel that his displeasure towards her was due to her seizing his power, or some other reason.

"Ten years."

At that time, the Prince Qin Palace was still a fool, and the Prince Qin Palace was not the Prince Qin Palace. They were only the former regent's mansion, and Zhang Mingde did not have the ability to predict the future, so he specially chose to wait here for the Prince Qin.

"Maybe I'm being paranoid."

In the end, Murong Ling had no choice but to come to this conclusion, so she stopped thinking about it, let the flowers and plants continue to monitor the situation, and once again comforted the servants in the house, each of them received a portion of silver, and continued to cultivate.

With the recovery of the pill, her meridians gradually recovered to their previous level. She then studied the other pill recipes on the pill manual and tried out all the pills she could refine so far. Her pill refining level rapidly increased.

When Li Cangmin returned to the main house after dusk, he discovered that Murong Ling was still concocting pills and had already gotten used to it. He went straight up to his bed to meditate and to his surprise, Murong Ling actually walked over and passed him a pile of pills.

"The blue bottle is a Fasting Pill. In the future, it would be better to eat less fireworks in the mortal world. Red is a Violet Spirit Pill that recovers internal injuries.

Li Cangmin's gaze moved from the pill in her hand to her face. She had just finished concocting a batch of pills, and her face was pale white from exhaustion.

Because of the Body Purification Incantation, her body was still considered clean. However, because she had to deal with spirit plants frequently, her fingertips were stained with some unknown medicinal residue that faintly emitted the fragrance of medicine.

Receiving the pill, Li Cangmin's fingertip unknowingly swept across her palm. It was exquisite and tender, and for a moment, Li Cangmin was stunned, but very quickly he regained his senses, and suddenly thought of a question, "How long has it been since you last rested?"

Murong Ling was startled for a moment. Ever since she had taken care of the spies in the Duke Palaces, she had been in her room cultivating and concocting pills in seclusion the entire time.

"Right now you are only at the Essence Refinement Realm, your foundation is still shallow, so it is not appropriate for you to waste too much energy. If you continue to be unrestrained, I will take back my pill scrolls and pill furnaces, so as to prevent you from ruining your own future."

His anger that was rarely seen made Murong Ling feel guilty, and she explained, "I know, I will not hurt my foundation."

"How do you know?" Li Cangmin pressed on, "How much do you know about cultivators? How do you know if overdrawing your spirit energy and Spiritual Sense will cause any damage? "How do you know your current cultivation method is correct?"

No matter if it was her previous life or this life, she had always trained by herself, so she was naturally unable to answer Li Cangmin's questions. Although her aptitude and comprehension ability were good, she did not dare to arrogantly feel that what she had done was right. As for Li Cangmin, she at least had the inheritance guidance from the Grand Master, which was not something that she could compare to.

Murong Ling sighed, "Alright, I understand. I will just do my best in the future."

She was currently concocting pills from Li Cangmin, if she did not want to control herself, she had no choice but to directly cut off the supply of spirit herbs, leaving her with no choice.

She seemed to have always been taking advantage of Li Cangmin. Her Mortal World was not flourishing, and spirit herbs were also rare, so to be able to support her refining pills day and night, she must have used up a lot of her Burying Flowers Palace.

But Li Cangmin never said anything in her ear, no matter what spirit grass she needed, it would arrive on the second day on time. It was as if spirit herbs were all over the streets, it was not tiring at all. However, she had seen the Spirit Grass Mirror and knew that some Spirit Grass grew in special places and had beasts guarding them. Normal experts in the martial arts world would find it difficult to make enemies out of them.

Most importantly, she noticed that many of the spiritual herbs were newly harvested.

She couldn't help but to look at Li Cangmin, "The spirit herbs I refine, were all harvested by you?"

Li Cangmin's stern face was as usual. He glanced at her for a moment before withdrawing his gaze, "Most of them are picked by palace subordinates. This king will only take action if they are unable to pick them."

No wonder she often couldn't see him, he was gathering the spiritual herbs for her.

She thought that the gap between the two of them was only her own personal prejudice. He had already done many things for her in secret, and if she did not discover it for herself, he would probably continue hiding it from her forever.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's just a small matter. What can I tell you to do?"

Feeling that something was wrong with her emotions, Li Cangmin was a little helpless. He was not sure if she was angry or not, "If you mind, I can report to you about my actions in the future."

Murong Ling was annoyed but at the same time found it funny, "Why would I need to control your movements? "If you tell me earlier, I can prepare some medicinal pills for you as well. There will be an additional layer of protection."

Li Cangmin did not speak. His clear and deep eyes stared straight at her, as if there was a surging emotion in his eyes. His voice was deep and low, as though he was muttering something, "Are you worried about me?"
