Shen Munan tilted his head to look at Chunni.

"Is everything packed?"

"Don't worry, Master, they won't wake up in less than two or three hours."

Shen Munan was silent for a moment: "I'll give Lu Chuanlin a good beating later. Remember, it should hurt and don't show any visible injuries. He will definitely enter the palace the day after tomorrow. Don't let him get any clues."

"Yes, I understand." Chunni glanced at the fainted people behind her.

They were all Lu Chuanlin's people, who followed him quietly to protect him, and stopped not far away to wait.

Just as he was talking, Gu Yunyao climbed up from behind the slope.

Looking at the time, Shen Munan is almost here.

She patted the dirt on her body and quickly led the horse forward for a few hundred meters.

Shen Munan appeared at the right time, and Gu Yunyao waved to him.

"Your Majesty, good evening."

Shen Munan glanced at the setting sun, which was only a shallow arc in the distance: "Invite me to come and see this?"

"The sunset has set a little early," Gu Yunyao pointed at the bright moon in the sky, "Look at the moon, it's almost fifteen."

Shen Munan asked: "Do you have anything to say?"

"have."

"What?"

"The moon is so full tonight."

Shen Munan: "..."

He turned away, couldn't help but smile, and when he turned back, he tensed up again.

"If you don't tell me, I can leave."

"I have something to say," Gu Yunyao said quickly, "I do have something to ask for."

"explain."

"Your Majesty, when we enter the palace the day after tomorrow, can you think of a way to let Gu Qingwen and Gu Qingxue go?"

"When you enter the palace the day after tomorrow, it is the people who have been granted the title who come to the palace to thank you. They are not among those who have been granted the title."

"I know, so don't you want to ask the prince for help?" Gu Yunyao whispered, "I want to cancel the engagement. This is a crucial step. Whether we can speed up the process depends on this game."

"If the prince refuses to help," Gu Yunyao lowered her head and patted the horse, "it doesn't matter. The worst thing is to think of other ways, just go slower."

Shen Munan looked at her crestfallen appearance, with the exposed little piece of her neck white and tender, and her eyes felt a little hot for no reason.

He turned away, cleared his throat and said, "Did I say that I am not willing to help? This little thing is nothing to me."

Gu Yunyao raised her head with a sly look: "Seriously?"

Shen Munan saw the look in her eyes and secretly felt that he had been deceived: "However, my help cannot be in vain."

Gu Yunyao blinked: "I understand, how about... give me another bottle?"

"I don't care about it," Shen Munan hummed, "Think again."

"Make another snack? How about a big one?" Gu Yunyao remembered that he liked this.

Sure enough, Shen Munan asked: "How old is it?"

Gu Yunyao gestured with her hands: "It's so big."

Six inches.

"really?"

"It's absolutely true. I'll deliver it tomorrow morning. Once you get it, the prince can help me. How about that?"

"Okay," Shen Munan agreed, "add another painting, and it should be big."

Gu Yunyao took a breath, this was taking advantage of the situation.

"That's okay," she agreed, "but for Gu Qingxue, the prince will have to send someone to deliver a message to help her escape from the nunnery and enter the palace."

Shen Munan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Gu Yunyao smiled.

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal."

The two agreed to return to the city happily.

Shen Munan returned to the palace and looked through the small album at the desk.

"Spring mud."

"My subordinate is here," Chunni hurriedly came in from the door.

"Go to the palace and tell me that the king is not feeling well and is in a bad mood. I want to liven things up and ask Eunuch Song to ask my father if we can invite more people to the palace for the thank-you banquet the day after tomorrow to make it lively. "

Chunfeng smiled slightly: "There's no way this is impossible. The Emperor wants you to be happy. As long as you make a request, there's no way he won't agree to it."

Shen Munan looked at the colorful little man in the picture album: "I agree to anything, Chunni, do you really think this is good?"

Chunni was startled: "...Isn't it bad?"

Shen Munan said no more, waved his hand, and Chunni retreated silently.

Gu Yunyao was not idle either. She returned to the yard, ate something in a hurry, entered the Chaos Ring, and quickly made a cake.

Fortunately, she has all the ingredients. Her cooking skills are average, but her baking skills are very strong, especially various artistic cakes. She has also participated in competitions and won awards.

After finishing the cake, I came out and it was already getting late. I spread out the paper again and started drawing.

Small picture albums are for fun, large pictures should not be too casual.

She thought over and over again, picked up her pen and started painting with concentration.

I was busy until after midnight, and then I was finally done. I thought about it and wrote a few lines of small words on the painting.

Early the next morning, she tied up the painting and packed the cake into a box, and gave it to the head master, asking her to send it to Prince Qin's Mansion.

Not long after breakfast, Gu Yunyao accompanied Yang to the garden and met Aunt Hua.

"Miss," Nanny Hua whispered, "Cook Li's funeral has been completed. This morning, his husband received a share of the money. This matter can be regarded as settled."

Gu Yunyao frowned slightly: "Liangqing?"

"Exactly, she died of poisoning, and the old lady didn't want to make it public. She signed the deed of betrayal, so the old lady made the decision.

But this way of death is disgraceful, so I gave her family a share of the money, and her husband had no objection."

Gu Yunyao was silent for a long time, human life is really not life.

Although she didn't sympathize with Chef Li, she felt a little indescribable when someone died like this.

"Miss?"

"I understand," Gu Yunyao came to her senses, "Thank you, mama."

As I continued walking forward, I found that the original patch of flowers had withered and withered, leaving nothing behind.

This flower is just like Chef Li, it will disappear as soon as you say it is gone.

But the people behind the scenes are still there.

"Sister-in-law."

The second lady passed through the Moon Gate and came forward with a smile to say hello.

Yang held the flower in her hand tightly, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"The county master is here too," the second lady raised her hand to brush the tassels around her ears, "the weather is really nice today."

Gu Yunyao looked at her proud look, as if she was saying, "Ask me quickly, ask me quickly."

However, Gu Yunyao didn't ask.

"Give."

"Oh, why bother leaving in a hurry?" The second lady said with a smile, "It's rare that the weather is good today, and it's rare that my sister-in-law comes out for a walk, why don't we go for a walk together? I'm in a good mood too."

"My mother will be out and about more often in the future, but you," Gu Yunyao asked with a smile, "Now that the confinement has been lifted, you are as happy as anything."

The second lady's smile froze slightly: "Yes, the lifting of the confinement and the addition of happy events, naturally I am happy, and the happiness becomes even more happy."

Gu Yunyao thought for a moment: "I'm so happy, how about I sing a song for you to cheer you up?"

"Just sing... Little Widow Goes to the Grave?"

Second lady: "..."

Looking at her tense face, Gu Yunyao felt refreshed and said, "Mom, let's go over there and have a look."

They left happily, and it took a long time for the second lady to exhale.
