Early the next morning, Ouyang Qingyu, dressed in a dark official uniform, followed by Qin Jun and a dozen guards, walked into the Princess's Mansion with a stern face.

"Qin Jun, take your people to the West Courtyard first, and don't let anyone leave."

"Yes." Qin Jun took the order, waved his hand, and led a team of guards from the Ministry of Justice to surround the west courtyard.

Ouyang Qingyu did not go to the West Courtyard, but went straight to the East Courtyard.

Lin Wanwan was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard. Hua Yu approached gently and saw that her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was a little tired.

He walked behind her again, gently placed his hands on her shoulders, and began to massage them slowly.

"My Lord, are you tired?

Hua Yu will give you a massage."

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes to look at him, then lowered her head: "You are always so considerate."

Hua Yu's ears flushed, and her fingers skillfully moved on Lin Wanwan's shoulders with moderate strength and even rhythm. "Taking care of the princess must be done in the most meticulous way."

"Thanks to your care these days, I feel much better now."

Hua Yu stopped what he was doing, squatted down, and looked at Lin Wanwan lovingly:

"Princess, Hua Yu has said many times that in Hua Yu's heart, you are the most precious person in the world. It is Hua Yu's honor to serve you.

For example, at this moment, Hua Yu is giving you a shoulder massage. Princess, are you happy? "

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Happy."

Hua Yu raised the corners of his mouth, with a bit of pampering: "That's good, I just hope the princess will always be happy like this."

After saying that, Hua Yu stood up and continued to massage shoulders.

The originally tense muscles gradually relaxed under Hua Yu's massage, and a more comfortable expression gradually appeared on Lin Wanwan's face.

"Princess, should we ask the imperial physician in the palace to come and treat us again?" Hua Yu reminded worriedly, "I took the last dose of medicine yesterday."

When Situ Liuyun was mentioned, Lin Wanwan opened her eyes slightly.

She wanted to open the [System Panel] silently.

Present...

A rectangular pink screen appeared in front of her and she studied the panel carefully.

Center of light screen:

Life countdown: 29 days, 9 hours and 25 minutes.

And below the countdown, there is an unfinished task.

[Task: Favor any handsome man in the harem rankings, and your health will increase by 100 days each time.]

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes. Over the past few days, she had gained a preliminary understanding of this [Handsome Man Life-Extending System].

should be:

Meet handsome men, refresh illustrations, and provide information.

And the first time I came into contact with these handsome men included in the [Handsome Men's Picture Book]:

Hand touch +2 hours

Touch the body +1 day.

Kiss +5 days.

It’s better to have tasks, tasks +10 days.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry to contact Situ Liuyun who was included in the [Harem Ranking]. If she encountered an emergency, he might be her life-saving medicine.

Lin Wanwan smiled and closed the [System Panel]: "No need, it's fine just like this."

At this time, Ouyang Qingyu entered the East Courtyard with his guards. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Qingqing, who was not far away, had just walked into the courtyard with tea and candied fruit. When she saw Ouyang Qingyu, she hurriedly said, "Master Ouyang, you are here."

When Lin Wanwan heard this, she looked forward and saw Ouyang Qingyu.

Ouyang Qingyu resisted the urge to look at her, but turned to look at Qingqing beside him and asked, "Tell me, how did the princess get poisoned?"

Qingqing was overwhelmed by his momentum. She lowered her head and trembled slightly. She immediately knelt down with the things in her hands and spoke hurriedly:

"My lord, the princess said that day that the snowflake cake was poisonous, but I made the snowflake cake myself, and I don't know how it could be poisonous."

Ouyang Qingyu said coldly: "Didn't you poison the princess?"

Qingqing hurriedly shook her head and said anxiously: "How could I poison..."

"It wasn't Qingqing who did it." Lin Wanwan frowned slightly, and with the help of Hua Yu, she stood up lazily:

"Qingqing has followed me for many years. If she wanted to harm me, why would she wait until today?"

Ouyang Qingyu looked up and saw that the two of them complemented each other. He felt even more annoyed for no reason. He lowered his voice deliberately so that no one could hear his emotions:

"Who made this snowflake crisp?"

Qingqing thought about it carefully and said, "Your Excellency, I was carrying this plate of snowflake crisps through the garden when I met Pink Peach."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qingyu immediately ordered: "Bring Fen Tao up!"

Soon, two guards escorted Fen Tao into the east courtyard. Fen Tao's face was full of fear and her eyes were avoiding everything.

Ouyang Qingyu stared at Fen Tao and said sternly, "How dare you poison the princess? What's going on!"

Under Ouyang Qingyu's fierce gaze, Fen Tao, who was already very timid, was frightened to the point of breaking down. Her legs softened, and she fell to her knees with a plop, crying as she told him everything:

"Sir, please spare my life! It was Wang Yin'er from the West Courtyard. It was Wang Yin'er who ordered me to take the poisonous Tremella soup... and tried to poison the princess, but the Tremella soup broke into pieces immediately!

As for the matter of the snowflake crisps, I don’t know, I didn’t poison it.”

Fen Tao looked at Qing Qing who was standing beside her, and quickly moved her knees to Qing Qing's side, as if grasping at the only life-saving straw:

"Qingqing, tell me quickly, I didn't poison anyone that day, right? Tell me quickly."

Qingqing nodded silently again and again!

Lin Wanwan's eyes fell on Fen Tao and she asked softly, "Where did Wang Yin'er keep the remaining poison?"

Fen Tao said timidly, "In a porcelain bottle."

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly: "Qingqing, go to the room to get a beautiful brocade box and give it to Lord Ouyang."

Upon hearing this, Qingqing hurriedly got up from the ground, carried the things and went in to look for the brocade box.

Ouyang Qingyu looked towards Lin Wanwan, only to see her slightly raising her eyebrows at him and smiling meaningfully.

After a brief thought, he understood her intention.

At this time, Qin Jun walked to the East Courtyard and said, "Sir, the wife of the Censor Ye Zhaobo of the West Courtyard does not allow us to investigate the case."

Ouyang Qingyu seemed not to hear and said, "Qin Jun, come closer and listen."

Ouyang Qingyu explained everything to Qin Jun.

Qin Jun nodded, and when he saw Qingqing coming out with a brocade box, he took the box from her hand, handed the bag of gold and silver to Ouyang Qingyu, and walked towards the west courtyard of the Princess's Mansion.

Ouyang Qingyu looked calm as he handed a heavy bag of gold and silver to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"A little silver, to be given to the princess to fill the treasury."

Qingqing, who was standing by, said, "Our East Court's treasury is full, and all the expenses here are borne by Prince Yong."

Prince Yong...After hearing this, Ouyang Qingyu's face immediately turned gloomy.

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes turned calm and she said, "Let's go in and talk."

Hua Yu was just about to help Lin Wanwan go in.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wanwan pulled her hand away from his palm and said in a normal voice, "This princess has something to talk to Minister Ouyang alone."

Hua Yu nodded, turned around and dismissed the servants around him.

Ouyang Qingyu followed Lin Wanwan into the inner hall and gently placed the silver on the table.

Lin Wanwan sat down gently and asked directly, "Where did you get the silver?"

Ouyang Qingyu sat beside her and said calmly, "Liu Yiruo's."

Lin Wanwan's eyes darkened: "What happened after he was beaten?"

Ouyang Qingyu smiled and said, "In the suburbs of Kyoto, he won a hundred gold coins by drawing lots, and was killed by robbers on his way home."

Lin Wanran stared at Ouyang Qingyu with deep eyes and asked for confirmation: "Drawing lots casino, did you open it?"

Ouyang Qingyu replied without hesitation: "Yes."

Lin Wanwan instantly understood that it was he who set up the plan to kill Liu Yiruo.

Lin Wanwan said solemnly: "The robbers must have been sent by you."

Ouyang Qingyu said without hesitation: "Yes."

Lin Wanwan's eyes flickered slightly, and she sighed softly: "This princess has never thought of taking Liu Yiru's life."

Ouyang Qingyu smiled and said, "I know that the princess just wants to use Ye Zhaobo to punish him a little."

"Then you..." Lin Wanwan hadn't finished her words.

"But I want his life." Ouyang Qingyu's eyes were filled with deep thoughts. "He deserves to die."

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes for a moment: "It's better to die."

Ouyang Qingyu was slightly surprised and asked, "The princess doesn't blame me?"

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly: "You just want to achieve the effect that this princess wants in her mind. I have to thank you for that."

"Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

Lin Wanwan paused and said, "Please put up a notice at the casino to remind everyone to keep their belongings safe and beware of robbers."

Ouyang Qingyu smiled and said, "The princess is smart. What about Wang Yin'er? How does the princess want to deal with her?"

Lin Wanwan's eyes seemed to be hidden at the bottom of a deep lake, containing a faint murderous intent, and her voice remained calm without any ripples:

"If I catch you in the Ministry of Justice, I will personally give her a bowl of noodles."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Ouyang Qingyu said, "Then can the princess attend the morning court tomorrow?"

"Of course I'm going." Lin Wanwan smiled, "How can I miss such a good show?"

Ouyang Qingyu nodded and asked, "There is a key point that I have been thinking about for a few days, but I still don't understand it."

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Yes." Ouyang Qingyu said, "How did the princess convince Situ Liuyun?

I went to Noble Concubine Lin to inquire about this. It is true that Situ Liuyun took the princess' pulse and gave her acupuncture that day. That is why Noble Concubine Lin firmly believed that the princess was conspiring to murder the royal heir.

The princess and Situ Liuyun are friends?"

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Tell me another possibility."

Ouyang Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, and his face showed great concern: "The only way is that the princess is really poisoned."

"Ah."

Ouyang Qingyu said: "Next time, Princess, please don't put yourself in danger again. In fact, I can..."

Lin Wanwan interrupted him and said, "As a friend, you are already very generous."

"Princess, we are very similar." Ouyang Qingyu couldn't help but smile, "Princess and I are both very patient and we both like playing chess."

Lin Wanwan looked at him and said nothing.

Ouyang Qingyu added: "With the princess's talent, it would be easy for her to overthrow those people in the West Courtyard, but the princess likes to peel off their skin layer by layer and keep them hanging for fun."

Lin Wanwan smiled, and looked at him with her cold eyes that were clearly black and white:

“It’s better to make your opponent feel like they can fight back, but then when the time comes they can’t fight back.

In this way, every time they are outclassed by others, they will attribute it to luck, and they will always believe that when luck comes and the gods favor them, they will be able to fight back. "

Ouyang Qingyu nodded: "But they don't know that the princess is the real god. They can only get one result in the end.

That is despair."
