When Xiaolan heard that they wanted to silence her as well, she suddenly panicked and almost fell down because she didn't pay attention.

Fortunately, he managed to hold himself up and did not fall, but he still made a noise.

When the people inside heard it, they shouted, "Who! Who's there?"

Xiaolan covered her mouth in fear and wanted to turn around and run, but her body became numb and her legs seemed to have no strength no matter how hard she tried.

Xiaolan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, but she was powerless and felt as if she was tied there.

Hall

"My lady, no, there are people outside!" Pearl said in panic.

"I heard it. Come on, go check it out!" Concubine Shen said to Zhenzhu

Zhenzhu nodded, walked out quickly, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiaolan standing outside!

Pearl demanded fiercely, "What are you doing standing here? Didn't you guys just leave?"

"I...I came here to get my things..." Xiaolan was so scared that she stuttered unconsciously because she had just heard their conspiracy conversation.

"Your stuff? Xiwu Palace is so big, but is there anything that belongs to you?" Zhenzhu rolled her eyes at her.

Xiaolan explained awkwardly, "It's my handkerchief... I left my handkerchief here, so I came back to get it..."

"Then why didn't you come in, but instead hid outside and eavesdropped! If we hadn't discovered you, you would probably still be eavesdropping now!" Pearl asked with her hands on her hips.

Xiaolan was so scared that she quickly shook her head to deny, "No, no, I... I just came here..."

Pearl asked again, "Tell me! Did you hear anything?"

Xiaolan denied it again and again, "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything!"

Shen Guiren heard Zhenzhu chatting with her and said loudly and impatiently, "Zhenzhu, stop talking to her about those useless things and bring the person in first!"

After hearing this, Pearl responded, "I understand, my lady!"

Then he walked to Xiaolan, grabbed her arm and walked into the house.

Xiaolan knew something was wrong, so she said, "I remembered it wrongly, I lost my handkerchief on the road! I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, he tried to break free from Pearl's restraints and run out, but his arm was firmly held by Pearl. "Go in!"

Xiaolan said in panic, "No, what are you doing! I'm warning you, my mistress is waiting for me outside!"

Zhenzhu pulled Xiaolan into the house and immediately closed the door.

Concubine Shen walked up to Xiaolan and asked, "Tell me, what did you hear outside?"

"I...I didn't hear anything..." Xiaolan said, biting her lips

"If you tell the truth, I can consider letting you go, but if you dare to lie to me! You know the consequences!" Concubine Shen pinched Xiaolan's chin and said

"My dear, I really didn't hear anything... I just came here to look for something..." Xiaolan said

Seeing that Xiaolan refused to admit it, Zhenzhu said, "My lady, she lied to you! She clearly heard everything!"

Shen Guiren's fair hand suddenly moved down and pinched Xiaolan's neck, but before she used any force, Xiaolan was already scared to death.

Xiaolan said it all in one breath, "I say, I say! I heard my mistress's voice was caused by you! Not only that, you have to kill her... Is that ok, Lady Shen, please let me go..."

Concubine Shen did what she said and released Xiaolan immediately.

Lady Shen sat back on the couch and said slowly, "If you can keep this secret secret, we can pretend that nothing happened today. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Xiaolan nodded frantically!

"Okay! I am willing! I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything!"

Concubine Shen gestured to Zhenzhu, "Miss Lan was frightened just now. Zhenzhu, go get that pot of rose tea to calm her down."

After hearing this, Zhenzhu was stunned at first, and then went to take it.

Xiaolan politely refused, "No need, Master Shen, I'm fine... If Master Shen doesn't have any other instructions, I'll leave first... My mistress is still waiting for me outside..."

"Look! You are still being polite to me. Didn't you say that nothing happened?" asked Concubine Shen

"Yes... yes..." Xiaolan lowered her head and thought, forget it, just drink tea, the scenery is beautiful. At worst, drink it and leave quickly. If you don't drink it, Shen Guiren will definitely think that she doesn't give her face.

After a while, Zhenzhu brought the rose tea over and poured a cup for Xiaolan.

Concubine Shen picked up the teacup in front of her and said, "Here, I toast you."

"Ah, this... I can't bear it, okay." Seeing that Shen Gui had finished it, Xiaolan had no choice but to drink up the tea in front of her.

"I have drunk my tea, and now we have forgotten all grudges. I want to ask you for help with something. Are you willing to help me?" Concubine Shen put down her teacup and asked.

"No, no, no, please don't say that, my lord. I can't bear it! Please tell me what you want me to do." Xiao Lan said

Shen Guiren said, "You also know that since your mistress knew my secret, she has threatened me again and again to make me work for her. I really can't keep it anymore, so I want to ask you..."

"Don't worry, my lady is mute and can't say anything," Xiaolan said impatiently.

Shen Guiren said, "But as long as people are alive, they will get better one day! But if people die, they will get better, then I won't have to worry about her telling it anymore~"

After hearing this, Xiaolan was so scared that she dropped the teacup in her hand to the ground!

With a snap, it shattered into pieces!

"Noble Lady Shen, she actually wants me to help her kill someone..." Xiaolan thought to herself.

Without giving Xiaolan time to think, Zhenzhu said loudly, "How dare you! This is a teacup that my mistress has collected for a long time, and you just broke it like that. Do you know that this set is worth a fortune?"

"I didn't know. Please punish me, sir!" Xiaolan saw that things were going badly and quickly knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"Miss Lan, you haven't said whether you are willing or not yet?" asked Concubine Shen

Xiaolan looked at the debris on the ground, then looked at Concubine Shen who was threatening her, gritted her teeth and said, "I am wrong! Please forgive me for not doing it!"

When Zhenzhu saw Xiaolan refused, she pointed at her head and cursed, "You slut! You broke my teacup and you still dare to refuse my request!"

"Pearl, please speak softly, don't scare me." Concubine Shen paused and continued, "After all, I just drank the poisonous rose tea. If there is no antidote, I won't live for many days~"

Xiaolan's eyes widened instantly after hearing this! They poisoned her!
