The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!

Chapter 148 Sometimes choice is more important than hard work

Covering his burning cheeks, he pulled his clothes and got off the bed.

She walked anxiously to the dressing table with unsteady steps and looked around in the bronze mirror.

Fortunately, everything was normal in the areas covered by the clothes, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

"Miss," Yin Xin's clear voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Mu Luan was startled, turned around, held on to the dressing table, and looked at her warily, but after just a moment, she looked back to normal.

"Young lady, why don't you call me now that you are awake?"

Yinxin didn't notice Mu Luan's cautiousness at all.

As he spoke, he walked towards the bed and prepared to make it.

Mu Luan saw her movements, remembered something, and blurted out, "Yin Xin!"

Seeing Yinxin's hand about to pass through the curtain, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Yin Xin heard the voice, paused, turned around and looked at his young lady in confusion, "What's wrong, young lady?"

Mu Luan pursed her dry lips and said nonchalantly: "I'm thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?"

Yinxin nodded obediently without any doubt, and went outside to fetch some water.

Mu Luan immediately got on the bed and turned over the thin quilt. The black round bottle immediately rolled to the corner.

She hurriedly picked it up, but before she could think about where to hide it, Yin Xin had already approached with a cup.

Mu Luan had no choice but to put it in her sleeve temporarily and hide it tightly.

Yin Xin said, "Miss, water."

Mu Luan took it with one hand and drank the glass of water absentmindedly.

The bottle was icy cold, but in my palm it felt like a ball of fire.

Yinxin looked at her young lady's fair face, the corners of her lips curled up, and her smile gradually widened.

"The young lady's complexion is becoming more and more rosy. Mr. Jiuyou's medicine is indeed as good as its reputation."

Mu Luan's eyes suddenly widened and she swallowed the water in her mouth.

But she still choked on her own saliva and coughed softly.

Yin Xin's expression tensed up, and he hurried forward to pat her on the back, "Miss, drink slowly."

Mu Luan coughed a few times, his eyes dodging, and ordered: "Prepare water, I want to take a bath!"

In the West Factory dungeon.

A eunuch dressed in dark blue was tied to a cross.

Looking closely, this person was the young eunuch who had publicly pointed out that the Queen was the murderer who poisoned the Prince two days ago.

But at this time, the little eunuch was not as intact as he was that day.

His clothes were tattered and torn, his body was covered with whip wounds of varying depths, and his face was as pale as a dead person.

He looked like he was still breathing, but in reality he only had one breath left.

Right in front of him, on a rosewood armchair, sat a man in red robes.

I don’t know how many layers of powder he had put on, his face was pale and pink, yet as delicate as porcelain, and his brows were full of the effect of chiseling bones.

But his eye sockets are deep and his eyes are sharp and alert like an eagle.

He held the teacup in his hand and took a sip from time to time.

He didn't even glance at the dying eunuch on the shelf.

Youyou said: “The things in our hands are really promising. They even dare to turn their elbows outward and point their spearheads at the Queen!

Over the years, you are the most courageous among all the traitors."

He spoke slowly, but if you listened carefully, you could see murderous intent hidden in every word.

The young eunuch didn't even have the strength to raise his head. He hung his head, and the fear in his eyes was completely gone.

"You...you confessed under torture...Are you not afraid of the emperor's blame?"

Even the Emperor had to protect his life in front of the Empress, but Cao Mang dared to lynch him!

Cao Mang pulled a cold smile from his red lips, as if he was pleased by the young eunuch's innocence, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.

He put the teacup in his hand aside and walked towards him with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, your words make me feel uneasy, but..."

He suddenly grabbed the eunuch's neck, smiled tenderly, and said, "What can you do to me? Can the emperor take my head just because of an unknown fool like you?"

"You...you will not die well!" the young eunuch said with difficulty.

"Who knows whether my family will die a miserable death, but you will die a miserable death soon!"

Cao Mang's smile spread darkly, and the strength in his hands gradually increased, as if he was gently chasing a weak ant.

Just as the young eunuch was about to breathe his last, a guard suddenly ran in from outside the dungeon and reported in a hurry: "My Lord, the East Depot's seal is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shanqi turned around the corridor with steady steps and walked towards him.

Almost at the moment when the two men looked at each other, a crisp "click" sound was heard from Cao Mang's hand.

The light of hope in the young eunuch's eyes had not yet faded, but the next moment, his pupils dilated, his eyeballs froze, and his head drooped heavily.

Jiang Xia, who was following Shan Qi, paused in his hurried footsteps slightly, and there was a flash of disbelief in his eyes.

When Shanqi approached, Cao Mang seemed unaware.

He slowly took the clean handkerchief respectfully handed to him by the guard and wiped his hands with disgust.

Shanqi glanced at the lifeless person on the shelf and said calmly, "It seems that we are a step too late."

Cao Mang raised his eyes when he heard the voice. He glanced at Jiang Xia who was following him with a look of surprise and doubt, and then stopped at Shanqi. "Oh, isn't this the governor of Shanqi? Why did you come just now? I was just about to report the details to the emperor."

As he spoke, he handed over the towel in his hand.

The guard next to him took it wisely and placed a confession between Cao Mang's fingers.

Shanqi did not take the confession from Cao Mang. He could guess that the confession was most likely obtained under torture.

No matter how he got his confession, at least the emperor has given him an explanation.

He said in an uncertain tone: "The West Factory's handling of the case is indeed as rumored, it's fast."

Cao Mang did not intend to show him the confession. He just admired himself with satisfaction, then threw it to the guard beside him and said slowly, "The West Factory has received the emperor's grace, so we dare not slack off in the slightest."

This statement is extremely sarcastic, implicitly mocking the East Factory's irresponsibility.

It was still the same method. Shanqi had already experienced the working style of the Western Factory in the last case of the assassination of the emperor - the truth was only a matter of thought for Cao Mang.

Shan Qi remained silent, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but he did not show it very obviously.

But it still fell into Cao Mang's eyes.

"We should also report the whole story to the emperor. Lord Shanqi, please take care of yourself."

He had a smug smile on his lips, but when he passed by Shanqi, he paused, patted Shanqi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Young man, don't be too eager for quick success. Sometimes choice is more important than hard work."

After saying this, he laughed out loud, and the shrill sound instantly echoed faintly in the dungeon corridor.

But what he didn't know was that the moment he moved away, the unwillingness in Shanqi's eyes instantly disappeared.
