There was silence in the room, and the bright yellow imperial decree lay quietly on the table beside it, messy and scattered.

Lin Yingling glanced at the imperial edict and despised him very much, "I don't want to go to the south, I will die in the imperial city even if I die!"

The southern land is remote and poor, not even one ten thousandth of the imperial city. She was spoiled since childhood, so how could she endure such hardship?

Seeing Lin Yingling's extremely reluctant look on her back, Murong Xun couldn't help frowning.

"The imperial edict has been issued. You are a family member of the Rui Palace. If you don't leave the imperial city with me, you will treat it as a resentment. If you want to die or be rich, you can choose it yourself." The current situation is so difficult, Lin Yingling not only does not understand, but is so unreasonable, and Murong Xun is naturally not as good as before.

"Then...what if I was not a family member of Prince Rui's Mansion?" Lin Yingling blurted out, and then saw Murong Xun's apparent sinking face, she quickly changed her mouth: "I don't mean that, I just got a fever for a moment and talked nonsense..."

Lin Yingling picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of tea to hide her embarrassment, but she was thinking in her heart how she could let Murong Xun get along with her and leave her a lot of money so that she could continue to live in the imperial city alone.

Fortunately, Murong Xun had no intention of delving into Lin Yingling's true thoughts at this time. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and ordered indifferently: "The new emperor ordered us to leave the city within three days. You can take the property below and take it away if you can take it away. The farm and shop that cannot be taken away should be sold quickly or handed over to trustworthy people to take care of. After three days, leave the city on time."

After saying that, Murong Xun turned around and wanted to leave, but Lin Yingling stood up and said hurriedly: "Is there no other way? I mean..."

Lin Yingling grabbed Murong Xun's sleeve and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Murong Xun paused, did not answer, but just opened Lin Yingling's hand and then left the room without looking back.

With a "bang", before he could walk far away, there was a crackling sound behind him - Lin Yingling began to lose his temper again.

...

As the situation changes, the situation in the entire imperial city seems to have entered an unprecedented downturn with the arrival of winter.

Lin Yingxue took a lot of effort to climb over the high wall. After tidying up her clothes, she looked around and looked around - indeed, no one was passing by nearby.

It's not in vain that she lived in the Fifth Prince's Mansion for so many years in her previous life. She knew the structure of the Fifth Prince and Murong Xun's behavior very well, so she knew so clearly where to sneak into the Fifth Prince's Mansion is the least easy to be discovered.

I hope I can go in as smoothly as it is now... Lin Yingxue touched her face - in an accidental conversation, she learned that Leng Yue and others are best at disguising themselves as assassins, and they know a disguise technique that can completely turn a person into another person within two hours.

Lin Yingxue was quite moved after hearing this, so she wanted to take a gamble and used Leng Yue's disguise technique to sneak into the fifth prince's mansion to assassinate Murong Xun and Lin Yingling. If it works, she will be able to follow Murong Jun to the northern border without any worries. If it doesn't work...

Lin Yingxue didn't dare to think down, but just took a deep breath, identified the direction and continued to walk towards the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

The people from the Fifth Prince's Mansion were busy with worry because of the imperial edict that was issued today. Lin Yingxue met many servants along the way, but everyone walked in a hurry with his head down and did not notice that there was an ordinary-looking maid in his mansion.

Looking at the tea room near in front of him, Lin Yingxue touched the small bag of medicine powder on her waist, and then walked forward quickly.

"Hey, do you think the prince is planning to summon a counselor to discuss matters in the study at this critical moment?" Before he could get close, the maid's conversation came from the tea room.

Lin Yingxue paused when she heard the sound, walked forward lightly, and carefully eavesdropped next to the door.

The maid inside obviously didn't notice someone eavesdropping outside the door, and still talked about himself: "Who knows! I only know that the princess and the concubine have started to collect the property in her hands, and it seems that she is about to leave! Alas, pity us maids who bought from outside, maybe they will find another master..."

"There is nothing to do. Who told us that we are neither the son of our family nor the confidant around our master... Oh, I almost forgot to send tea to the prince in the study!" A maid screamed, and then a busy voice.

Lin Yingxue heard the sound and turned her black eyes around. Then when the maid holding the tea appeared, she pretended to be hurried and said, "What's going on? I've been waiting for so long for tea!"

Lin Yingxue said as she grabbed the tea tray from the maid.

The maid was stunned by Lin Yingxue's roar and unconsciously handed out the tea tray in her hand. Until Lin Yingxue's figure completely disappeared from her sight, she turned her head and asked her companion behind her, "Do you know that maid just now?"

Whether they recognize it or not, Lin Yingxue has already walked away.

After confirming that no one was catching up with her, Lin Yingxue slowed down. Because she was too nervous, her palms had already sweated, and she almost slipped so much that she couldn't even hold the tea tray.

Next is to go to the study to deliver tea. As long as Murong Xun didn't notice her identity, Murong Xun... Lin Yingxue thought about it and looked around. After seeing that there was no one around, she had already prepared medicine powder and put it into the teapot.

This medicine powder was specially developed by her for someone with strong martial arts skills like Murong Xun - colorless and tasteless, and she died immediately after drinking it.

The study room was approaching, and Lin Yingxue was getting nervous. She deliberately put her steps very lightly, so even though she had already walked to the study room, no one noticed her.

"…What does the prince mean to give it a try?"

There was a vague sound of speaking in the study room, and Lin Yingxue came up more cautiously than when she was outside the tea room door just now.

"...When we go out of the city and kill again, the new emperor will definitely not be prepared!"

"...The new emperor now has the King of Zhennan in his hands. We are not as strong as our troops, so I'm afraid there is no chance of victory..."

"...We don't fight with the new emperor head-on. As long as we secretly summon people to resist for a while when entering the palace, and then wait for us to take the new emperor's head on the neck, the new emperor will be over!"

Although it was not very real to hear it, Lin Yingxue still knew Murong Xun’s plan through this intermittent speech.

If Murong Xun intends to rebel, she can do nothing to take risks and use other methods to kill Murong Xun.

Thinking of this, Lin Yingxue turned around and walked back with the tea tray, but because she had been holding the tea tray for too long, her hands were a little sore. When she walked back, the cups in her hand accidentally bumped into each other. With a "ding" sound, the sound of the empty cups clashing was not loud, but it was enough for people inside to hear it.

"Who!" A loud shout came from inside.

Lin Yingxue said intimately that something was wrong. She was about to leave and hurriedly turned around before the people inside opened the door. So when the man inside opened the door, he saw Lin Yingxue standing a few steps away from the study, looking at him nervously.

"I, I am here to deliver tea." Lin Yingxue's nervous voice trembled, but most of her nervousness was pretending. After all, her current identity is just an ordinary maid. It is natural to be afraid of being drunk like this. If she is too calm, it will make people suspicious.

The man who came to open the door looked at Lin Yingxue up and down, and saw that he couldn't see anything wrong, so he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "How long have you been here?"

"Sir, I just arrived, I just arrived." Lin Yingxue deliberately changed her original voice and replied timidly.

The man obviously believed Lin Yingxue's words, so he turned around and said to the people in the room: "Prince, he is just an ordinary tea-giving maid."

The person in the room probably nodded or answered something, so the man turned to Lin Yingxue and said, "Please bring the tea in."

The poisoned tea was originally Lin Yingxue's first plan, but after hearing the conversation between Murong Xun and others, she felt that she could not exert Murong Xun's greatest value, but if she made excuses to not serve tea, it would be too strange, right?

Although so many thoughts flashed through my mind, it was just a moment for others.

Lin Yingxue walked forward slowly with tea. When she crossed the threshold and was about to pass by the man who opened the door, the man suddenly said, "Wait!"

Lin Yingxue seemed to be shocked by the sudden voice. With a "bang", the tea cup in Lin Yingxue's hand fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

"Prince, please spare me!" Lin Yingxue knelt on the ground without thinking, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

However, the few people in the room looked at the tea that was overturned on the ground. The reason why the man suddenly spoke was because he suspected Lin Yingxue, so he wanted to test the tea. At this time, he saw that the tea was overturned but there was nothing unusual. The man thought he was suspicious, so he did not mean to criticize Lin Yingxue severely.

"Okay, pack up and get out of here. Remember to make a louder footsteps when you come here next time you send tea!" The man waved to Lin Yingxue impatiently, as if Lin Yingxue was an annoying fly.

Lin Yingxue was reluctant to leave quickly, so he nodded and thanked him while quickly packing up the mess on the ground.

But just as Lin Yingxue packed up the fragments and was about to get up and leave, Murong Xun, who had been watching coldly, suddenly opened his thin lips lightly and spoke coldly: "Stop!"
