Long Fei Ye!
It was actually Long Fei Ye. Third Concubine had never seen Long Fei Ye in person, but they had already formed a deep grudge!
In the past two months, Long Fei Ye had killed many of her subordinates. Even her eldest disciple, who could control poisonous mosquito swarms, had died at his hands.
How could she not hate him?
Third Concubine wished she could rush out and fight Long Fei Ye to the death. However, she was naturally rational. She knew very well that she couldn't. She couldn't kill this man. Once she was exposed, Northern Li's years of hard work would all go to waste.
She had been wondering why the guards hidden in the dark didn't make a move when Han Yunxi barged in. Now she finally understood. It turned out that Long Fei Ye had come!
The guards were right not to make a move. Once they made a move, she would never be able to shake off suspicion.
However, what she didn't understand was why Long Fei Ye was with Han Yunxi. Didn't he look down on this woman?
Could it be that from the moment Han Yunxi cured Mu Qingwu's poison, she had gained Long Fei Ye's recognition?
Furthermore, Han Yunxi, who was proficient in poisons, had helped Long Fei Ye in the investigation of the traitor? Therefore, Long Fei Ye, who knew nothing about poisons, was able to kill her eldest disciple? So, the culprit was Han Yunxi?
Thinking of this, Third Concubine's grip on the dagger tightened!
Northern Li had spent many years training this group of traitors to guard against Long Fei Ye. Unexpectedly, they had been in hiding for many years. Just as they were about to start reaping the rewards, Han Yunxi had actually stepped in and disrupted all their plans!
And now, they had actually found her.
Han Yunxi, if I don't kill you, I, Li Mingyue, swear I'm not human!
Forced by the situation, Li Mingyue had no choice but to suppress her bellyful of anger. She quietly withdrew the dagger and lay back on her side.
"Soon!"
Han Yunxi replied to Long Fei Ye and abruptly lifted the curtain. She checked the entire bed and moved closer to Third Concubine to check her hand. The detoxification system still did not alert her.
"Phew …"
Han Yunxi heaved a huge sigh of relief. Her heart that had been hanging in the air all night was finally at ease. "None of them. That's great."
She gently patted Li Mingyue through the blanket and smiled. "Third Concubine, I've offended you."
After that, he carefully tucked Li Mingyue in, put down the curtain, and left.
However, when she heard the door close, Li Mingyue opened her eyes. Her face was terrifyingly gloomy. "Great? Hehe, Han Yunxi, I will definitely let you know what is truly good! "
As soon as Han Yunxi went out, Long Fei Ye saw her expression and guessed what had happened. However, he still asked, "How is it?"
"Nothing at all. Your Highness, I think we have misunderstood." Han Yunxi smiled. She was in a good mood.
"Not being able to find any other traces doesn't completely prove that there is no suspicion." Long Fei Ye's voice deepened. He was very dissatisfied.
"The three snake venoms in the wooden house are the most common. It's not surprising that they appeared here." Han Yunxi immediately defended herself. Then, she continued, "Of course, if Your Highness still has doubts, you can ask Third Concubine whether or not the snake venom was let go, and why!"
Han Yunxi had wanted to ask Third Concubine directly when she came to drink tea earlier. However, she thought that it might alert the enemy, so she decided to test it first.
Now that nothing was found, there was nothing to worry about.
Long Fei Ye was about to speak when the sound of water came from not far away. It seemed that the servants had woken up.
"Let's go!"
Without another word, Long Fei Ye immediately grabbed Han Yunxi and leaped onto the roof. In a moment, their figures disappeared into the dusky sky without a sound.
When Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi returned to the Hibiscus Courtyard of the Duke of Qin's Manor, the sun had already risen.
Although Long Fei Ye was not very happy on the way back, he still remembered Han Yunxi's foot injury. He sent Han Yunxi to Leisurely Cloud Pavilion, placed her in the drawing room, and had her sit on the table.
At this moment, Zhao mama came in with water. When she saw this scene, she subconsciously took two steps back. However, after hesitating for a moment, she still walked in with a smile and bowed. "This servant greets Your Highness and Her Ladyship."
Long Fei Ye nodded and indicated for her to rise.
Zhao mama stood up and hurriedly poured two cups of tea. She glanced up at the loft and smiled. "Your Highness and Her Ladyship woke up so early."
When these words came out, Han Yunxi almost spat out the tea in her mouth. What did Zhao mama mean?
Did she misunderstand that Long Fei Ye stayed here last night?
Obviously, Long Fei Ye also understood the meaning of these words. He lightly coughed a few times and lowered his head to drink his tea without saying a word.
"Your Highness, Her Ladyship, please wait a moment. This servant will go prepare breakfast," Zhao mama hurriedly said and turned to leave.
However, Long Fei Ye spoke at this time. "No need. This prince still has matters to attend to."
"No matter how busy Your Highness is, you should still eat breakfast. Don't starve yourself," Zhao mama advised.
However, Long Fei Ye stood up and didn't pay much attention to Zhao mama. He said to Han Yunxi, "Don't act rashly and alert the enemy. This prince has his own arrangements, understand?"
"Actually …" Actually, Han Yunxi had tried to persuade Long Fei Ye along the way, but he still wanted to investigate.
"You, stop here." Long Fei Ye's voice deepened. He had carried this woman on his back and listened to her chatter by his ear the entire way back. His patience had basically run out.
Han Yunxi pursed her lips and could only remain silent.
Long Fei Ye seemed to be afraid that she would act rashly, so he gave her a meaningful look before turning to leave.
Once he left, Han Yunxi rolled her eyes. Although she couldn't accept Long Fei Ye's decision emotionally, logically speaking, she still agreed that this matter should be investigated. After all, the traitor was hidden very well. As long as there was even the slightest bit of suspicion, they couldn't let it go.
Han family, Han family … Ai, she didn't know what the fate of the Han family would be like!
"Esteemed Princess Consort, why didn't you ask His Highness to stay for breakfast?" Zhao mama asked.
Han Yunxi recovered her senses and replied without thinking, "Why did you ask him to stay?"
Uh …
Zhao mama was suddenly at a loss for words. She didn't know what was going on.
"No … no reason. This servant will go prepare breakfast now." Zhao mama said and quickly retreated. She sighed in her heart. These two masters' thoughts were too hard to read!
Looking at Zhao mama's back, Han Yunxi's stomach suddenly grumbled. She couldn't remind her that she was hungry. Once she was reminded, her stomach would immediately feel hungry.
Han Yunxi was suspicious and carefully jumped down from the table. When her feet touched the ground, she remembered that she had left her shoes and socks in the Solitary Courtyard.
She limped towards the warm couch and lazily lay down, letting out a sigh of relief.
Last night, she seemed to have done a lot of things. However, she felt that time had passed very quickly. She had to admit that she still hadn't recovered her senses yet.
She didn't know if that guy was hungry or not. What was he busy with so early in the morning? Was he going to protect the people on the list last night? In her impression, there were still a lot of people on the list who were still alive.
No matter how busy he was, eating wouldn't take too much time. Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with a sense of loss that she didn't even notice. She curled her lips and didn't want to think about that guy.
Who was the head of the Northern Li Country's spies? Could it be that they knew him and that he was hiding by their side?
As Han Yunxi mused and pondered, she unknowingly fell asleep.
Zhao mama came to deliver breakfast. Seeing her tired appearance, she didn't dare to disturb her. Thus, Han Yunxi slept until the afternoon, until Mu Qingwu came to see her.
Mu Qingwu's work efficiency was pretty good. In a few days, he had investigated and sorted out a detailed investigation report. It recorded in detail the people who had been in contact with him for the past three years, as well as the things that had happened.
Han Yunxi slept for a while and was completely awake. She silently looked at the investigation report and didn't miss a single piece of information. There were a lot of people recorded in this report. There were five good friends of Mu Qingwu, four male cousins of Mu Qingwu, two female cousins, and the last one, which was also the most conspicuous one, Mu Liuyue!
Although Han Yunxi never deliberately excluded Mu Liuyue, when she saw this name, she couldn't help but smile. She had to admit that Mu Qingwu was really a wonderful person.
"You really wrote your blood related little sister down?" Han Yunxi teasingly asked.
"The princess consort said that the person who poisoned me had borrowed the hands of others. Not to mention my blood related little sister, even if there was a need, I would still write my father's name down." Mu Qingwu had thick eyebrows and large eyes. His eyes sparkled and he looked very serious when he was serious.
Han Yunxi's heart was filled with admiration. She nodded and continued looking.
In the report, there was a detailed note behind each person's name. It recorded the frequency of contact with Mu Qingwu, the location of the meeting, and the specific things that had happened.
After Han Yunxi finished looking over the names, she started from the first one and carefully looked over them one by one. While she was looking, she teasingly asked, "Young General, this is your private matter."
"As long as you can help find the traitor, even if the princess consort wants to see the military secrets, you can ask the emperor for permission." Mu Qingwu was still very serious.
"Don't! I don't want to know. "Han Yunxi quickly refused. She understood that the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be.
Han Yunxi looked and looked and gradually became serious. Mu Qingwu waited on the side, not daring to make a sound. When he inadvertently raised his head and saw Han Yunxi's serious face, he couldn't look away.
Since the first time he saw this woman in front of the Duke of Qin's Manor, he knew that this woman wasn't simple. Only, he never thought that they would have so many interactions. He always thought that if she didn't marry into the Duke of Qin's Manor, perhaps they wouldn't even have any interactions.
Han Yunxi was focused on the report, so how could she know that Mu Qingwu was staring at her from the side.
She looked over all the records one by one. Most of them didn't have anything suspicious. When friends invited each other, they mostly drank. The Ten-Thousand Snake Poison definitely couldn't be put in wine. She was certain of this point. Moreover, the drinking frequency wasn't high.
As for the interactions between the cousins, although they were frequent, there wasn't any pattern. Most of the time, they just visited the manor.
In the end, Han Yunxi's gaze fell on Mu Liuyue's information. It had to be said that Mu Liuyue and Mu Qingwu's interactions were the most frequent. Basically, when Mu Qingwu returned to the Great General's Estate, he would see his sister. This was all very normal.
However, there was one record that caught Han Yunxi's attention.
Tea!
Mu Liuyue actually invited Mu Qingwu to the outskirts of the Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse from time to time for tea!
Han Yunxi suddenly raised her head to look at Mu Qingwu. At the same time, Mu Qingwu was also staring at her. In that instant, their eyes met and their gazes met.
Mu Qingwu was like a thief who had been caught at the scene. He immediately lowered his head in guilt. However, Han Yunxi was alarmed and didn't notice his abnormality. She anxiously asked, "Young General, does your sister often invite you to tea?"
Mu Qingwu's ears were a little hot. He had never been so embarrassed in his life. He also didn't know what was wrong with him.
He raised his head with difficulty and answered, "Yes, once or twice a month. It's the Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse in the outskirts of the city. Liuyue is a frequent customer there."
"Once or twice a month?" Han Yunxi was suspicious. Once or twice a month? This frequency was different from the frequency of poisoning. The difference was too great.
"Do you buy tea from there?" Han Yunxi asked again. She knew that most people who went to the teahouse would buy tea leaves back.
