On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

How could Mu Wanyan like fireworks? She likes gunpowder!

I was so bewildered that I almost consummated my marriage with a spy today. It's really ridiculous.

Pei Mochen made up an excuse and left without looking back.

Mu Wanyan and Xiang Qin both breathed a sigh of relief; the plague god was finally gone.

-

Chen Wang Mansion, study.

"During the few days that I was copying scriptures in the palace, did you pay attention to what the princess was doing?"

He pretended to paint calmly, but his mind was not on the paper at all.

Xiao Shunzi: "I didn't pay much attention to the princess's whereabouts, but——"

While helping Pei Mochen cool down with a fan, he pretended to casually reveal some information.

"I heard from the night watchman that the princess seemed to have gone to the hilltop outside the city a few days ago. And -"

He looked at Pei Mochen's face and said, "They are all women disguised as men."

Pei Mochen's hand holding the paintbrush suddenly trembled, and he stopped and asked, "Which mountain is it?"

"Mulan Mountain in the east of the city, or Yu Mountain in the west of the city?"

Xiao Shunzi lowered his voice and said, "Yushan, I am sure that the princess is heading towards the west of the city."

Pei Mochen's already gloomy face became even gloomier when he heard the word "Yushan", as if a cold wind suddenly blew through it.

It seems that my Yanyan is really a spy.

Yushan was not only the site of the Xuanwu Army garrison, but also the location of Dafeng’s gunpowder depot.

Is there any need to think about what Mu Wanyan's purpose is in going there disguised as a man?

He took out two ingots of silver and threw them in front of Xiao Shunzi, "Keep watching her for me."

Xiao Shunzi received the money and smiled happily: "Yes!"

After everyone left, Pei Mochen angrily threw all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the ground.

In a few days, it will be the annual Yushan hunting event. He wants to see what Mu Wanyan will reveal.

What a pity for that peerless beauty.

-

The words are divided into two parts.

Hongmei, who had reached the ninth level of skill, also successfully sneaked to the stables of the Regent's Palace with the cartilage powder.

She had a happy face, and had already put the red plum hairpin given by Pei Mochen in her hair. In order to prevent it from falling, she deliberately used a hairband to secure it.

This shows how much importance this red plum hairpin holds.

"Brother, how dare you disobey the master's orders?"

Seeing Hong Xiao throwing the cartilage powder bag on the ground, Hong Mei opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

"You weren't like this before. Why? After staying in the Regent's Palace for so long, have you become less courageous?"

Hong Xiao: "King Chen asked me to get information for him, and I have no complaints. But if you want Hong Xiao to poison the Regent, I have to die."

"Don't forget, our mother in the countryside has always been taken care of by the Regent's camp doctor."

"Even when my mother passed away last year, the funeral was handled by the Regent!"

Hong Xiao angrily said to Hong Mei, "Without the Regent, I would have died several years ago. How could I have lived until last year?"

"Now you have become so cruel that you want me to harm my benefactor. I can't do it!"

Hongmei sneered: "Oh, no wonder the information you passed on to the master was all useless trivia, so you turned against us a long time ago?"

Hongmei spat on the ground, "Pah, I feel ashamed to have a lackey brother like you."

"Without King Chen, we would be begging on the streets and would have starved to death!"

Red Xiao: "Back then, I just wanted to take you, a little kid, to work as a helper in a good family. I didn't want to be a killer!"

He was not grateful to Pei Mochen, especially for dragging his closest sister into this.

Hongmei now has a scar on her face, and looks neither male nor female, but she relies on her ninth-level martial arts power to hurt people at will.

"Sister, listen to my advice and leave King Chen as soon as possible. He is not as simple as you see on the surface."

"If you don't leave, you will die in his hands one day, you——"

"Swoosh--" the sword came out and a strand of Hong Xiao's hair was cut off by Hong Mei.

"Don't insult my master. I, Hongmei, am the Lord Chen's person when I am alive and my ghost when I die."

Not only will I not leave Prince Chen, I also want to be his concubine, or even his concubine, or even...

My martial arts skills are at the ninth level, how can I be compared with those mediocre women who sing and dance like birds of prey?

She touched the hairpin in her hand and felt better.

"Brother, a real man can only be loyal to one master in his life."

"If you are unwilling to take this cartilage powder, I have my own way to put it into Di Xiuyan's medicine."

"But next time we meet, don't blame Hongmei for her blind sword."

The red goblin showed pain on his face and smiled helplessly.

"My sister, who risked her life for me and held me in my arms, is now trying to kill me for a man."

"Forget it, give me the cartilage powder and let me help King Chen one last time."

Then, while Hongmei wasn't paying attention, he opened the cartilage powder and sprinkled it all into her mouth.

"elder brother--"

"don't want--"

Hongmei ran to Hongxiao like lightning, but was still a step too late.

This was a dose of ten portions of cartilage powder, which was swallowed directly by the red goblin.

He was bleeding from all seven orifices and was no longer alive.

"Hongmei, listen to me and be careful with King Chen. He is not... a... a good person."

Red Xiao wanted to say a few more words, but the poison developed too quickly. He only struggled a few times before falling to the ground and dying.

"elder brother!"

Hongmei roared hysterically, transferring all her resentment to Di Xiuyan.

She raised her sword and wanted to rush to the inner hall to fight with Di Xiuyan, but she knew her own strength very well. She could only hold back her grief and jump over the wall to escape.

Since her brother has already surrendered to Di Xiuyan, let the Regent Palace collect his body.

……

The Hongmei people had not gone far when Di Xiuyan and Chi Yan came over.

"Go see if there's any hope of saving the person?"

Chi Yan walked forward with the sword in hand, touched Hong Xiao's neck, and shook his head regretfully.

"Master, the red goblin has left."

Di Xiuyan sighed: "Give him a proper burial, why did he do this?"

As smart as Di Xiuyan is, if he can't even tell who among his subordinates is someone else's spy, then all the battles he has fought for so many years have been in vain.

But there are some things that, if reported clearly, may save a life.

-

Chen Wang Mansion, study.

Xiao Rong rushed in in a hurry.

"Mother, you came to my son's place so late, what's the urgent matter?"

Xiao Rong: "Chen'er, did you sell Chunmei out?"

Pei Mochen rubbed his brows, his expression looking unreadable.

Xiao Rong: "My son is confused. Chunmei is Aunt Gui's only daughter. If you sell her out, how can Aunt Gui work for us in the future?"

"How many shady things have we done that were done with the help of Aunt Gui?"

Pei Mochen's expression did not change at all. "So they know too much."

Xiao Rong pulled Pei Mochen's sleeve in fear, "Chen'er, you can move everyone else except Aunt Gui. She watched you and Zhu'er grow up, and she has too many handles on you."

He patted him on the back and said, "My son, you are confused. You haven't ascended to the throne yet. It's not the time to discard you!"

"By the way, is it still possible to redeem Chunmei?"

Pei Mochen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's too late. I sold it to the groom Cheng Liu."

Cheng Liu was in a hurry, so he might have already prepared the wedding night in the afternoon.

Xiao Rong: "You——"

She was clearly a personal maid given to Pei Mochen since childhood, but no one expected that he would just casually find a groom and ruin her future.

Xiao Rong felt a chill down her spine and her right eye twitched violently. She always felt that Aunt Gui was insidious, cunning and meticulous, and would definitely take revenge if something like this happened.

"Why do you treat Chunmei like this? You're not doing this for that bitch Mu Wanyan, are you?"

Seeing that her son remained silent, Concubine Xiao solemnly warned:

"I have heard about the Regent's visit to your residence today."

"You take this opportunity to show your loyalty and send that bitch to Di Xiuyan so that you can make plans for your future."
