"Since we have already entered, from tomorrow onwards, we will search every single person in the cave one by one. If they are suspicious, we will kill them all." The guard suggested with a murderous look on his face.

"This method is inappropriate. There are too many people, and it will take too long." I'm afraid that before we find out who she is, she'll overturn our old nest first. " Xue Shaoli shook her head. Xue Shaoli understood Xue Ruoyun very well.

"Then what do we do now? What kind of brilliant idea does Miss Xue have?" Seeing that her suggestion had been rejected, the guard felt extremely displeased and asked in an odd tone.

"Now that she has come in, it is actually a good thing for us. "She's the fish in this net. As long as we slowly tighten the net and put down the bait, she might run away." Xue Shaoli said while stroking her red fingernails.

Mu Sheng's antidote was quickly concocted. How was he supposed to tell Xue Ruoyun? Looking at the nanny who walked in, he suddenly had an idea.

"Here, take this. Today's medicine primer." The mama passed the blood to Mu Ying, who took it from her and pretended to be careless. Then, he bumped into the mama's clothes.

"Aiya, how are you doing this? This is something that only the palace has, how can it be dirty! "You dog!" The mama angrily beat up Mu Sheng, who cowered back in retreat.

But what's the use of fighting? Mammy had no choice but to come back and change.

Xue Luoyun and the others were waiting in the room when they saw the mama walk in with a face full of anger. Her clothes were stained with blood.

"What happened to you?" a nanny asked.

"You're still talking about it? That servant just now accidentally touched it. I'm so angry!" The mama pulled up the clothes in disgust and looked left and right. She wanted to throw away the clothes, but she couldn't bear to do so.

As Xue Ruyun listened to his description, his heart stirred. Could it be that Mu Sheng was doing this on purpose? She gave the Holy Maiden a glance, stealthily pointing at the clothes. The Holy Maiden understood and immediately stepped forward.

"Devils, devils, these clothes have already been tainted by the devils, they need purification!" The Holy Maiden walked in front of the mama in fright and spoke word by word. Coupled with her malevolent expression, the mama felt her heart rise to her throat.

"What should we do?" Although he was not a follower of the sect, he could not help but have some faith when he saw that the Holy Maiden had been here for a long time. Especially her deathly pale face, blue eyes, and her usual nervous appearance. The nanny's heart began to thump in her chest, and she became even more convinced that what she said was the truth.

"I need to purify, I need to transcend." The Holy Maiden pointed at her clothes and began to nervously recite a scripture.

"Then, give me the hyperdrive." said the Mammy, taking off her clothes.

"Hurry, get out, get away from the demons." The Holy Maiden pointed to the door.

"Alright, alright, I'll go out first, I'll trouble you to help me transcend." Thinking that the Holy Maiden wouldn't be able to escape, the mama quickly left the room, not forgetting to say some good words before she left.

Seeing that the mama had walked out, the Holy Maiden loosened her grip and stuck her tongue out at Xue Ruyun.

"You really are something." Xue Luoyun gave the Holy Maiden a thumbs up, then quickly rummaged through his clothes.

"Xue Ruyun guessed right, there's a pack of antidotes that Mu Ying put in inside the clothes."

"Great." Xue Ruyun put the antidote into his pocket.

After returning to the cell, Xue Ruoyun quickly fed the other girls the medicine one by one, and everyone quickly regained their consciousness. Xue Ruyun had taught everyone not to reveal that they had taken fake medicine for the time being, lest they become vigilant.

Xue Ruyun gave the medicine to Qiu Shuang, who was in the same cell as him. Qiu Shuang was at the bottom of the cell and could move about freely. This way, she would be able to send a message to her and Mu Ying through Autumn Frost.

Mu Ying concocted more antidotes. At night, he and Wei Ming stealthily fed the medicine to the people in the pharmacy and showed them the Holy Maiden's keepsake. More and more people started to wake up.

When the people in the pharmacy woke up, they were the most helpful to Mu Sheng. Previously, it was just him and Wei Ming secretly concocting drugs together. Now, with everyone's help, there were more and more antidotes.

Mu Sheng lay on the ground in the pharmacy and recalled what the mama had said before. Her clothes were actually something from the palace? Why would the things in the palace be on her? Could she be related to the palace? Suspicion began to grow in Mu Sheng's heart.

The letter he wrote to Mu Zheng previously had yet to be answered. He guessed that there might be a rebel army here. This was an extremely important matter. If Mu Zheng received the letter, he would definitely pay attention to it. Now it would seem that this letter had been intercepted by someone.

Mu Yong sat up in anger. His relationship with the Emperor had always been conveyed through his trusted aides. Could it be that one of his trusted aides had betrayed him?

Impossible, after so many years of fighting in Mu Sheng's army, these trusted aides of his had all gone through life and death battles with him. He had carefully chosen them himself, so it was impossible for them to betray him.

So what was the problem? Within the palace? Could it be that the emperor has a traitor at his side? Mu Sheng sat up in shock and was extremely worried.

He had no idea what was going on in the palace.

Ever since he was framed by Mu Lingfeng, his fighting spirit had been ignited. He no longer went to find Leng Yue in the military camp to drink.

During this time, he had been searching for Mu Lingfeng, hoping to find some clues.

"How is it?" Inside Mu Zhuo's room, a few trusted aides were sitting beside him. They were all his supporters.

"During this period of time, this old official has sent someone to follow closely behind the Third Prince and found that he is doing his best to win over many ministers from the court." The teacher said.

"Oh, how is he going to win her over?" Mu Zhuoyun sat up straight.

"He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. He used money to win over those who were greedy for money. Those lecherous ones, she gave them to a lot of beauties. "In short, all sorts of favors were thrown at him."

"Isn't that so? He's trying his best to rope in Teacher Wang from the previous dynasty. Teacher Wang does not lack anything. I heard that the Third Prince took an ancient monument to ask for his guidance today. The two of them were very close friends, and they hate to see each other too late. " Another minister said.

"Besides, I've also found some information that this Third Prince is spending a lot more than his salary. So much silver." The spies sent by Mu Zhuoyun also reported.

"Where did he get so much silver?" Mu Zhuoyun was surprised.

"It's under investigation now."

"Alright, do your best to investigate. If he accepts bribes and is willing to sell it for an official, then I will report this matter to my royal father. He will never be able to turn the situation around." Mu Zhuoyun said happily.

"Your Highness, do you need me to report this to the Emperor?"

"This will be recorded down first. At the moment, he is royal father's favorite person. If we throw out these things and lack of evidence, he would definitely say that we intentionally discredit him. Don't bring up the matter of roping in ministers, it will flare up in the future. " Mu Zhuo said thoughtfully.

"Now, if we want to report him, we still have to find something extremely important that can make the Emperor instantly explode with anger." The empress's brother, Li Weiquan, said.

"What do you think, Uncle?" Hearing his words, Mu Zhuo seemed to have a brilliant plan in mind.

"There's news from the empress saying that the third prince has an extraordinary relationship with the current emperor's favorite concubine, Zheng Ziyi." Li Weiquan said.

"This Imperial Concubine Zheng is the most popular person in the palace right now. Who would dare to provoke her?" Another minister said worriedly.

Li Weiquan did not think much of it. "The redder the color, the deeper the emperor's heart is to attract the emperor's attention."

"Uncle's words are reasonable. This Imperial Concubine Zheng may seem harmless, but she repeatedly bullied me in front of royal father, even pretending to be unconcerned about it. I think she must be one of Mu Lingfeng's trusted aides. "

"It would be great if Imperial Father knew that she was one of Mu Lingfeng's trusted aides." Mu Zhuo knocked his head as he tried to think of a solution.

"No, if you want to do it, then do it big!" Li Weiquan said, his eyes full of ambition.

"How?"

"If this prince were to have an affair with the emperor's concubine, then …" Li Weiquan said.

"Good, good, good!" Mu Zhuo's teacher could not help but applaud and cheer.

The few of them began to discuss.

While Mu Sheng was still thinking, the letter had already reached the palace. He heard that Leng Yue was on good terms with the crown prince, so he decided to send a message to ask her about the current situation in the palace.

Mu Sheng had been inside this cave for a long time, and he was already familiar with it. Therefore, with Mu Ying's Qing Gong, it would be easy for him to get in and out.

He went to the door and found the guard waiting outside. He handed him a letter.

"Send it to the army right away."

"Yes." The guard replied and quickly disappeared into the forest.

After Leng Yue received the letter, she was greatly shocked. Who would have thought that so many things would happen outside of here? The situation seemed grim.

A while ago, Mu Zhuoyun had indeed often come to find him for drinks, and he had even confided the various things that had happened in the palace. However, for some unknown reason, Mu Zhuo did not return.

Leng Yue thought that something must have happened to him. She immediately raised her brush and told him everything that Mu Zhuoyun had previously given her. This included Mu Lingfeng's recent rise to power, his various accusations against Mu Zhuzhe, as well as his new beloved concubine, Grand Concubine Zheng.
