The next morning, Mu Yunyao saw Ming Yin and said, "Today is the most appropriate time. You must use the powder I gave you carefully, and then secretly exchange the seals of the Governor of Two Rivers. Be careful, you might as well find a chance and don't make any mistakes.
"I'm in a difficult situation."
"Yes, please be at ease young lady. I will definitely be more careful." "Right." Mu Yunyao's heart sank. The salt merchants wouldn't spread the news that the salt exchange had gone wrong, but they would definitely think of ways to pave the way. They wouldn't suffer such a huge loss for nothing, and before long, they would find Li Yuan.
As a result, she had deliberately stayed in the Garden of Embroidery.
Li Yuan would come in the morning every day, but he arrived a little late today. Furthermore, when he arrived, he was accompanying Li Munian.
When Mu Yunyao heard the news, her heart suddenly sank. Li Munian actually came? Could it be that he received some sort of news? Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before immediately going to see King Yue.
King Yue had also received the news and upon seeing Mu Yunyao come in, he promptly signaled for her to be patient."Don't worry, I'll think of a way to lure Li Mu Nian away. It's just that this way, he'll probably notice it afterwards ..." "It would be best if Li Munian would leave by himself. If he doesn't leave, I can only ask Fourth Master to help." This chance was hard to come by. If she took advantage of it, she would be safe. She would not even need to fear the Su Clan. However, once she made a mistake, she would have to carefully spend her days there ...
Got it.
"Alright." "Don't worry, just do as you please. Although my power has not been fully deployed in Jiangnan, I will still be able to protect you." Mu Yunyao's hand under her sleeve suddenly tightened, her nails stabbing into her palm until it hurt, and her heart felt as if it was tightly clenched by someone, causing her chest to tighten. In her previous life, she had no one to rely on. What she hoped for the most was for someone to appear in front of her and protect her. As a result, she had no choice but to choose ...
He had chosen the Jin Emperor. She did all she could to please him, tried her best to make him stand out from the masses, and did everything that made him happy. She trembled all day, and even when he sighed, she could think of a hundred guesses.
In this life, she no longer relied on others to protect her and worked hard to make herself stronger. Although her mother was unharmed, someone took the initiative to stand out and say that he could protect her, causing her heart to surge with emotions. It was as if she had overturned five buckets.
King Yue carefully observed Mu Yunyao. When he saw her unperturbed expression, a glint flashed in her eyes and his heart tensed up. Afraid that she would reject him, he quickly changed the topic."It's about time. Let's go take a look at Ming Yin, alright?"
Mu Yunyao suppressed her thoughts, and slightly lowered her gaze. With a gentle and calm smile, she said, "Many thanks to Fourth Master. If Mingyin doesn't succeed, there's no need to force it. We can just wait for the next opportunity."
Yuwai Wang had already gotten up and was about to leave when he heard these words. He suddenly stopped and turned around. His deep and cold eyes looked at Mu Yunyao, "I won't fail!" Since she wanted to do it, he would do his best to make her wish come true.
Mu Yunyao opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but since King Yue had already stood up and walked to the door, she could only stay silent.
On the other side, Ming Yin was serving tea to Li Yuan Yi and Li Mu Nian, feeling extremely anxious in her heart. According to her original plan, she should have given Li Yuan medicine today and stole the seals of the two river governors. Li Munian sized up Ming Yin. He had already dispelled his suspicions previously, but now that Li Yuan had been unenvious all day and even talked to her normally, it could be said that he was completely mesmerized, causing doubts to arise in his heart. In addition, in these last few days, the Tomb City had been verified to the last few days.
It was probably during these few days that he came over to take a look.
Ming Yin sat quietly at the side. Even though she was admonishing herself to be steady, she couldn't help but show signs of impatience. Li Yuan happened to see it and asked, "Miss Ming Yin, is there something you need?"
"Making tea for the guests and entertaining them is my most important task. Moreover, I'm entertaining two lords today, so naturally nothing is as important as sire." Ming Yin nodded slightly, purposely revealing her slender white neck, causing Li Yuan to become absent-minded.
The corner of Li Munian's lips curled up coldly, "Young lady, you have such a sweet mouth."
Ming Yin smiled but did not reply. She then broke the teacup that had been brewed and said, "The tea has already been brewed. Please have a taste." When she brought the teacup over to Li Yuan's hand, she suddenly lost her balance and the teacup overturned, splashing onto her skirt.
Li Yuan stood up in pain, "Miss Ming Yin, how are you? Are you hurt?"
"Don't worry, Sir. I'll go down and change my clothes, and then I'll come and entertain the two of you."
"No need. We still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first." Li Munian stood up and turned to look at Li Yuan with a serious expression, "Uncle, there's something at the yamen, we should go take a look."
If they were allowed to leave like this, then Miss Mu's long time of preparation would have been completely wasted. Just as she was about to say something to save her, she heard Mu Yunyao's voice coming from the door.
"I have heard that Lord Li is here, and I have come to disturb you. Please forgive me." Mu Yunyao walked in and saw that Ming Yin was covered in tea stains. She hurriedly went up to check."Ming Yin, are you burned?"
Hearing Mu Yunyao's concerned voice, Ming Yin's eyes immediately turned watery."Miss, I'm fine. However, I've wasted my tea time." The waste in her words didn't just refer to the spilled tea, but also the great opportunity she had today.
Mu Yunyao's eyes showed traces of happiness, "It's fine as long as he's fine. There's no need to brood over it. Coincidentally, I have some business with Sir Li, so leave this to me."
"Yes miss, this servant will take his leave." Ming Yin glanced at Mu Yunyao as she withdrew with worry in her heart.
Seeing Mu Yunyao, Li Mu Nian sat back down, "Miss Mu, long time no see. May I ask why you have come to see me?"
Li Yuan, who was standing at the side, was completely dumbfounded. He had thought that Ming Yin would already be considered stunning, but after seeing Mu Yunyao, he suddenly felt that he had been too stupid. Her sleeves and waist were tightened, causing her to appear even more slender. She hadn't fully grown yet, so she looked like a budding flower. Although it hadn't reached its most beautiful moment, she had a different kind of grace, and could only patiently wait for two more days ...
When the time came, he would wait for the blooming of Qingcheng. At that time, he would never know how breathtaking it would be. If the inscriptions were like pearls, then the Mu Yunyao in front of him was like a bright moon, completely according to his wishes.
