A short while later, the snowy lantern was guiding a person into the room. It was a middle-aged man wearing dark brown long robes. He was slightly thin, but his eyes were extremely bright. It was obvious that he was a sly and astute man.

The man's name was Wang Renzhi, and he was a judge from the left side of the hospital. He was a sixth rank official.

Dong Ling Wan knew that he had already succeeded in half of the day's work just by looking at his clothes that were suitable for travelling at night. Only then did he slowly stand up and walk over.

"This old man pays his respects to Second Miss."

"What are you talking about, Courtyard Wang? Come, have a seat and have a look at your tea!"

After serving tea, the two of them entered and closed the door. Leaving the two of them in the hall, Dong Ling Wan picked up her teacup and said, "Wang Yuan, please."

The two of them picked up the teacups one after the other. Both of them were slowly playing with the tea. The lights were not very bright and it was very quiet around them. They were both smart people and knew that they were going to be controlled if they opened their mouths.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Wang Renjian could not hold it in any longer. He raised his head to look at Eastern Linglong, and his hands loosened as the teacup in his hand unknowingly fell to the ground. The jarring sound caused the candle flame, which was not bright in the first place, to fiercely throb.

Wang Renji was slightly embarrassed. "I'm afraid Second Miss is not here for tea."

Dong Ling Wan put down her teacup, as a smile rose on her face. "The King's Courtyard has judged you to be a wise man. Naturally, they should know Ling Wan's thoughts." Dong Ling Wan spread out a piece of paper, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Courtyard Wang. "Smart people always know their place."

Wang Renjian's eyes were cloudy. He reached out to the paper and took a look at the candle flame behind him. His eyes narrowed as he smiled and asked, "Second Miss, what is the meaning of this?"

Reaching out with her slender fingers, she opened the ebony box on the table, and her white face was suddenly plastered with a layer of gold. Dong Ling Wan did not say anything, but picked up a gold ingot and studied it closely. After a while, she lifted her head and looked at Wang Renji's greedy eyes, smiling in feigned surprise, as if she had just remembered that there was still someone sitting opposite her. She then put the gold back into the box, but did not close it.

"Second Miss' true nature!" It took a lot of effort for Wang Renji to pull his eyes away from the wooden box. However, the shiny golden ingot seemed to have grown legs and kept hitting him.

"The Second Miss invited me here for this recipe?"

Last time, Eastern Ling Wan had asked the old doctor to sort out the dregs and arrange them into a prescription, which was this one. According to the old doctor, the prescription should have been improved on the original prescription, and Wang Renji was His Majesty's imperial physician.

"Actually, just this recipe is nothing, but if it were used on His Majesty …"

Wang Renji was speechless. This prescription had been modified by him with great care, so its effects were slow to be seen. The concurrency symptoms also appeared bit by bit. Normally, no one would suspect that there was something wrong with the prescription. At this moment!

Dong Ling Wan looked at Wang Renji who was still in a state of shock and chuckled lightly. "I only got this prescription by chance. It has nothing to do with the King's Courtyard's judgement. However, Sir Wang, the accounts have been investigated quite thoroughly recently."

Wang Renji was surprised again. It turned out that Dong Lingwan had even found out about his greed for the government's silver taels. It seemed like she was determined to get it today. Wang Renjian cupped his hands and said, "Second Miss has no use for me. Just say it!"

"Your majesty Wang is indeed a smart person." Dong Ling Wan moved closer and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Wang Renji's expression suddenly changed as he looked at Dong Ling Wan with disbelief. His lips trembled slightly. "Second Miss, this is a matter of the head being killed!"

"The killing of the head? It's not like we haven't decided in the past. " Dong Ling Wan didn't seem to care too much about it. "It looks like the King's Courtyard's judgement isn't good enough …"

"Wait." Wang Renzhi pressed his hand against the box that had been taken back by Dong Lingwan. The veins on his hand bulged slightly. After a while, he sighed and said, "Forget it. Man dies for wealth while the bird dies for food."

After Wang Renzhi was sent away, a grave expression appeared on Dong Lingwan's smiling face. The emperor only had three months left to live!

Hearing Yu Rui add a spoonful of spices to the censer, Dong Ling Wan looked at her and frowned slightly, "Miss still doesn't intend to sleep? But can't sleep again? "

Dong Ling Wan waved her hand and sent everyone out, and the two of them left without saying anything. Dong Ling Wan got off the bed and poured herself a cup of tea, but didn't drink it.

As soon as the emperor died, his sister had to be buried with him, and there were only three ways to save his sister. First, to get her pregnant, or to 'steal' her sister out of the palace, and of course this' steal 'was not an ordinary' steal ', but to get Yu Gongyu to' escape 'from the palace, but this method was very suitable for both sides, and now it was impossible to do so; thus, there was only one way left, to push Yu Gongyu to the back, so that the empress would not have to be martyred, unless the imperial prince died, Yu Gongyu was either of the princes in name, or at least her mother would not be safe in the east side.

Three months, three months …

Dong Ling Wan extinguished the candle flame, and stayed up all night …

It was a dark and still night, but Eastliré was not the only one in the night. In the shadows, a man waved a fan, his white hair fluttering back and forth like a ghost in a peculiar way. "She's always been like this," he said. That person paused for a moment, then said, "She has been very restless recently, so I don't have the time to care about her. You better keep a close eye on her.

"Yes, sir."

The woman in front of him slightly nodded her head with a pious and respectful expression. If Dong Ling Wan was here, she would definitely be shocked. Who else could she be other than this woman? However, her usually gentle voice was now as cold as ice.

The man was silent for a moment, then he no longer said anything. Waving his fan, he turned around and left. Glancing at the tall figure, only after staring blankly for a while did he gradually disappear into the night …

The next morning, when the two of them walked in, they were shocked by Eastern Lingwan's words.

"Oh my god!" Hearing Yu, Dong Ling Wan jumped in front of her and held her face. She hadn't slept for the whole night, so the corners of her eyes were lowered. Right now, the thick black shadow seemed to have grown out of her skin. Hearing Yu saw red lines of blood crawling up Dong Ling Wan's eyes, and hurriedly helped her to rub her eyes, complaining that the Calm Incense was completely useless.

Yingxue shook her head and told her that she had used the best Calming Incense in the mansion, but upon hearing what was said, Yu Yu did not believe her, "That's not it. I heard that Phoenix-Country's Su Nanxiang has miraculous effects on calming the mind."

"It's a tribute to the palace, my lady." She shook her head again.

Dong Ling Wan closed her eyes and allowed someone to dress and comb her makeup. However, her thoughts returned to the day of the poetry meet. As she left, Pu Jing also said one sentence: "Next month's 18th, Misty Rain Pavilion."

Dong Ling Wan suddenly opened her eyes, "Faster hands and feet, prepare the carriage, Misty Rain Pavilion."
