Sister, look at him!

Chapter 36: The Reborn Female General's Queen Mother's Best Friend 14

Yue Yinling hadn't arrived yet, so the banquet hadn't started yet.

Grandpa He didn't care. He kept talking to the three young men and asked them questions from time to time.

Just when He Qingwan's patience was running out, Yue Yinling's excited voice was heard.

"Sister! Look what I bought for you!"

The little red bird was holding a big bag in its arms and ran excitedly towards He Qingwan.

"Look, look!" He put the thing in his arms on the table, "This is the Yangzhou delicacy I bought for you after running all over the street!"

"A Ling, don't give your sister some..." Grandpa He had a headache, and his lips under his beard moved, "Forget it, forget it, take the food down first."

After hearing what Grandpa He said, Yue Yinling finally realized that this place was not like the Divine Capital City. He didn't know this place and couldn't just buy food for He Qingwan.

"Sister..." Yue Yinling stammered.

"It's okay, sit down, A Ling." He Qingwan raised his index finger slightly, motioning him to sit next to him.

"Serve the food," she said.

Uncle Tian looked at Grandpa He.

Grandpa He nodded, and Uncle Tian went downstairs.

Plate after plate of delicious food was served, half of which were from Yangzhou and the other half were common dishes from the capital.

Linlang served the dishes to He Qingwan.

He Qingwan is not like others who only dare to take two bites of a dish. She eats whatever she likes and tells everyone about it.

I love this! Use this to please me in the future! Do you understand? !

Linlang memorized the Yangzhou dishes that He Qingwan loved to eat, and would tell Lord Kui later to buy a Yangzhou chef to take them back to the capital.

……

When He Qingwan returned to the villa, Mu Yan had already investigated what happened. He had information from his spies and also information he had obtained from the system through coercion and inducement.

At this moment he was sitting on a round stool with a sour face.

"You look so bad, what's wrong?" He Qingwan leaned on the chaise longue while Nanny Chun massaged her legs and Linlang took off her golden hairpin and step-shaking ornaments.

Mu Yan silently pulled out a dagger that could cut through iron like mud and slammed it on the table, then whistled in a strange tone.

Immediately, the ten Jinyiwei surrounded the small courtyard in an orderly manner, seemingly in a disorderly manner.

"The Crane family wants to harm you."

Mu Yan directly dropped a bombshell.

Nanny Chun's hand trembled, and Linlang was so scared that she dropped the hairpin in her hand to the ground.

The He family? Want to harm Empress Dowager Zhao Yuan?

Linlang was panicking. Is this what she could listen to? What should she do? Go out immediately or kneel down immediately? !

Looking at Nanny Chun again, she had slowly retreated to the side. Linlang no longer hesitated and took two steps back, trying to reduce her presence.

He Qingwan's expression also turned serious. She grew up in the He family and knew how much the He family cared about her, so she would not be on guard against the He family no matter what she did.

But listening to Mu Yan's words...

"Ayan, start from the beginning and speak slowly."

He Qingwan spoke softly and slowly, she sat up straight, a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

"…It's all my fault." Mu Yan's smile was bitter. "It's my fault that I got too close to you."

"How can you say that..." He Qingwan got off the bed, and she walked slowly towards Mu Yan barefoot, gently stroking Mu Yan's face with her cold, jade-white hands.

"Let me guess, maybe they think I'm out of control, so they want to get rid of you and me so that A-Zhan can sit in his position more securely."

Mu Yan nodded silently.

"Then let me guess. Grandpa knew about this and he stood on my side, but he couldn't go against my father's will, so he wanted to give me the three people at the table today so that I could have more chips, right?"

Mu Yan continued to nod.

"Brother, sister, and A'zhan... do they know about these things?" He Qingwan's voice became softer and softer, which made Mu Yan feel bitter.

"Your sister and the emperor don't know. Your eldest brother knows. He doesn't agree, but he can't disobey his father, so he told your grandfather. This is also the reason why your grandfather asked you to come to Yangzhou. He was afraid that you would encounter an accident in the capital."

Mu Yan had seen a lot of the ugliness of human nature, so no matter how shocking something was, he could remain calm. But after the victim became He Qingwan, he could not control his anger and heartache.

"What about Duke Dingguo's Mansion? Does anyone know about it?" He Qingwan asked again.

"I don't know that either, but the twins don't know that either."

Xiao Que'er and A Ling don't know...

He Qingwan walked behind Mu Yan, gently put her arms around his neck, and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Ayan, I thought they were sincere."

So she had never been wary of the He family.

But she didn't expect that the He family didn't believe her.

The He family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Oh, what a loyal and patriotic family they are.

"I haven't handed over the power in my hands yet, so don't worry, I will be able to protect you." Mu Yan held her hand and swore.

After expressing his loyalty to He Qingwan, he looked at Nanny Chun and Linlang standing in the corner, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Do we need to get rid of them?"

"Madame Chun is my sister's person, and Linlang is mine. You don't have to worry about them." He Qingwan seemed to be whispering, her voice was so low that it could hardly be heard, but in the dead of night, Madame Chun and Linlang heard it clearly.

Linlang was so moved that she almost cried.

She knew best how ruthless and cautious the ladies in the palace were.

Nanny Chun knelt down and said, "I will report this to the young lady."

"Hmm." A small black pill appeared in He Qingwan's hand. "Take it, Aunt Chun. If you say something you shouldn't say when my sister's position is uncertain, it will make you die and leave only a puddle of water."

"Only I can cure this poison." Mu Yan took the poison pill from He Qingwan and handed it to Linlang.

Linlang immediately stepped forward to take it, then walked to Nanny Chun's side, "Nanny, please."

Nanny Chun picked up the pill in her hand and swallowed it without changing her expression.

"I'll take my leave now." She bowed to He Qingwan.

"Empress Dowager, I can also take that kind of medicine!" Linlang knelt down to show her loyalty. As long as she didn't betray, she would not die.

But if she didn't take the medicine and today's news got out, she would be the number one suspect.

"Linlang is a good child, Linlang doesn't need to eat." He Qingwan chuckled, "Linlang's elder sister and younger brother are also good children, right?"

A cold sweat broke out on Linlang's back, which was quickly dried by the wind, leaving her feeling chilly and eerie.

She forgot that the lives of her entire family were in He Qingwan's hands.

"I will never betray the Queen Mother." This time, Linlang's tone was much firmer.

"Of course I believe that you are loyal to me." He Qingwan smiled strangely, and she gently hooked Mu Yan's hand:

"Ayan, the plan has to be advanced..."
