Chapter 146 Xu's Threat

The secret guard hesitated again and again, seeing Gu Changgeng's insistence, he had no choice but to say: "Yes, this subordinate obeys, please rest assured, the little general, this subordinate will go and inform other people to get ready, if someone is unfavorable to the third lady tomorrow, the subordinates will definitely die Rescue Miss San."

Gu Changgeng nodded slightly, "After saving someone tomorrow, immediately leave the city and go to Taohua Village. You only need to ask casually, and you will know the residence of an old man named Feng. You can hide there."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

Gu Changgeng saw the hidden guard disappear into the alley ahead, then turned around and walked back.

Back to the prime minister's mansion.

Gu Changgeng locked himself in the study, and thought carefully about what Gu Bo said and what Taoist Ling Xiao said.

Lin Qingqian has changed tremendously since she fell into the water and woke up. Even the people he hated her most before can notice it, let alone others.

But why did she change so much in such a short period of time?She...but still Lin Qingqian?
Gu Changgeng shook his head, threw out the chaotic thoughts, and thought: No matter whether she is Lin Qingqian or not, if he said he wanted to protect her forever, then he would do what he said!
……

The firewood room of the prime minister's mansion.

Lin Qingqian was roughly pushed in by the guards and fell to the ground.

The guard glanced at her, seemed a little scared, and warned: "Be honest, there is a yellow talisman of Taoist Ling Xiao in this room, you can't escape!"

After finishing speaking, the guard hurried out of the firewood room and locked the door, as if he was afraid that there would be evil spirits chasing him in the room.

Lin Qingqian twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled inexplicably.

If she is really evil, then she is probably the worst evil.

Feeling dizzy, Lin Qingqian didn't care whether the ground was clean or not, so she lay down directly, licked her dry lips, and her thoughts quickly turned.

The reason why the old lady believed Taoist Ling Xiao's words was that her words and deeds changed from the original body, and her attitude towards Gu Changgeng was indeed suspicious. If she didn't find a way to dispel the doubts in the old lady's heart, I'm afraid that in the future The old lady has a grudge against her.

Maybe there is any way to dispel the old lady's suspicion?
Lin Qingqian's mind froze, she opened her eyes suddenly, raised the corners of her mouth, and muttered in a low voice, "They all believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, so I'll follow the gourd, and it should work..."

……

Orchid Court.

Mrs. Xu sat down and motioned to Lily to push all the maids back. Lily understood and said, "You all go down first."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the servant girl retreated, Lily closed the door and returned to Mrs. Xu, with a worried expression on her face, she said, "Ma'am, I see that something is wrong with Taoist Ling Xiao, do you want me to go and check again?"

Mrs. Xu nodded, "Well, later, you go to the East Wing and ask carefully, before that time, Taoist Ling Xiao is really a fake Taoist priest of Zhenyuan Temple, and all the plans have been messed up by him."

"Then... if Taoist Ling Xiao pretends to be a Taoist priest of Zhenyuan Temple, how should Madam deal with it?"

Mrs. Xu took a sip of the tea, put down the cup, a gloomy light flashed in her eyes, and said, "Then I will let him survive tonight!"

"Yes, servant girl understands."

Lily left Xu's bedroom and went to the warehouse to get a small white porcelain bottle that Xu said contained poison that could kill people without knowing it.

……

Ming Garden.

After hearing Lin Qingrou tell the story of the future, Wen frowned and remained silent.

Lin Qingrou was still gloating: "Mother, let this evil spirit cause you miscarriage, and she will be burned alive tomorrow, she deserves what she deserves!"

Wen shook his head, "Qingrou, you may not think this matter too simply."

"Mother, what do you mean... is there something strange about the evil thing?"

Wen shi hesitated to speak, but finally swallowed the words back, saying: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just leave it alone, don't go over in the room tomorrow."

Lin Qingrou was puzzled and said: "Why don't you go there?"

"In short, you can't go wrong listening to your mother, do you understand?"

Lin Qingrou reluctantly said: "Yes, mother, I won't go there tomorrow."

Leaving Wen's bedroom, Lin Qingrou curled her lips disapprovingly.

She had to go see Lin Qingqian's miserable end tomorrow, otherwise it would be hard to dispel her anger.

……

The sky gradually darkened, the East Wing of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Taoist Ling Xiao lost his confident look just now, fidgeting and walking around the room, muttering: "What should I do? Paper can't cover the fire, and the person who brought my portrait to Zhenyuan Temple will come back tomorrow, and everything will be hidden." I can't help it... But if I leave now, I won't be able to get the rest of the money..."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Taoist Ling Xiao said vigilantly: "Who?"

"Master Daoist, this servant is here to bring you dinner."

Taoist Ling Xiao tidied up his Taoist robe, coughed lightly, and said, "The poor Taoist knows, come in."

"Yes."

The maid put down the dinner but still didn't go out. Taoist Ling Xiao frowned and said, "Okay, you go down first."

Instead of leaving, the servant girl raised her head. Taoist Ling Xiao saw her face clearly and said in surprise, "It's you!"

Lily smiled slightly, "Prince Daoist, it's the servant girl."

"You..." Taoist Ling Xiao looked at Baihe vigilantly, and said, "You came here to find Daoist Poor, what's the matter?"

"Don't be nervous, Ma'am, I just want my servants to confirm. Didn't the Taoist lie to us? Are you a Taoist priest of Zhenyuan Temple?"

Daoist Ling Xiao's eyes flickered, and he said in a serious voice: "Of course, the token of Zhenyuan Temple is here, how can the poor Taoist be a fake!"

Lily observed Taoist Ling Xiao calmly, and saw that he didn't want to tell lies, and that he had indeed heard about the token of Zhenyuan Guan, so she no longer had any doubts.

"That's good. This servant came here today to warn the Taoist priest that the third lady is an evil thing. You can see it through your profound knowledge. It is absolutely impossible to be instructed by someone behind the scenes. Do you understand?"

The threat in Baihe's words was obvious, Taoist Ling Xiao naturally sensed it, and responded with a smile: "Please rest assured, Miss, Pindao knows what to do."

"So good."

Lily reached into her sleeve, trying to take out the purse, but unexpectedly, the small white porcelain bottle in the sleeve also fell out.

The small porcelain bottle rolled directly to Taoist Ling Xiao's feet, he subconsciously bent down to pick it up, and asked in confusion, "What is this girl wearing?"

Lily took back the small porcelain bottle, quickly put it in her sleeve and hid it, saying: "My wife has a chronic illness, this is the medicine she needs to take from time to time, and this servant just carries it with her."

"Oh I got it."

Lily handed the heavy purse to Taoist Ling Xiao, "Master Taoist, this is some kindness from my wife, please accept it, and when things are done, please rest assured, it will definitely not be less than this."

Daoist Ling Xiao took the purse with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, thank you, Miss, poor Taoist."

After Lily left, Taoist Ling Xiao held his heavy purse and said distressedly: "Tsk, but when that person comes back tomorrow, I can't hide it... What should I do?"

Taoist Ling Xiao thought about it, fearing that he would not be able to hide it tomorrow, and he was reluctant to part with the remaining silver taels.

Suddenly, he recalled something vaguely, and muttered in doubt: "I seem to have seen that small white porcelain bottle just now... where is it?"

Taoist Ling Xiao thought hard and suddenly remembered.

"That's right! I saw it in a rich merchant. It is said that it is a colorless and odorless poison. Drop a little in tea or food, and it can kill a person silently!"
