Dongfang Mu coldly snorted: “Who said no, the emperor is not stupid, he will not know? No matter what, let’s just ignore this matter. Let’s just let them toss about it on their own to avoid causing trouble to ourselves. After all, there will be no good in result in this.”

Fear is fear. If something goes wrong, there will be no good results. And so many lives will be sacrificed in vain.

Master Guan was indeed lucky. The person who rescued him was Bai Zhi. She has high medical skills, and the place where he was located was Dongfang Family Mansion. Those who wanted him to die could not reach him.

Even if the emperor wanted to intervene in this matter, he had to wait for Master Guan to come out of Dongfang Family Mansion first.

“Miss, Master Guan woke up and said he wanted to see you.”

A maidservant came to Zhao Lan’s yard to report. Bai Zhi was learning to embroider with Zhao Lan. Her hand that was holding the embroidering needle was very clumsy. The things she embroidered looked very different from the original. She didn’t have the calmness and patience she has when she suture the patient’s wound. She needs to poke the needle many times, so no matter how good her temper was, she can’t help but want to scold her mother.

But she didn’t want to give up halfway, she still wanted to embroider some veils for Zhao Lan.

But at this time, a maidservant came to report and said that Master Guan wanted to see her. This event was like salvation she received from God, so she happily put down the small embroidery frame in her hand.

Zhao Lan smiled and shook her head: “You girl, go go!”

Bai Zhi returned to her small courtyard. Master Guan had already sat up. The servant of the Guan Family took water and served him. Seeing Bai Zhi coming in, he hurriedly asked: “Miss Bai, can my master still not eat?”

Bai Zhi said: “He can eat, but he can only eat some liquid food, gruel or the like.”

As soon as the servant heard of this, he busily said: “This little servant is going to make porridge. Master, just wait for a while. It will be done soon.”

Cooking porridge will not take a minute, so Bai Zhi said to the servant: “Go to the kitchen and ask if there are still some of what I cook earlier. If there is, you can take it here.”

She looked at Master Guan and said with a faint smile: “I’m sorry, we didn’t serve you well. We should prepare another serving for your breakfast.”

Master Guan was not someone who cares about these things. He waved his hand and said to Bai Zhi: “Don’t worry about this, Chen Ding, you go out first. I have something to talk to Miss Bai alone.”

Upon seeing the person who followed Bai Zhi, he also went out wittily. Obviously, Master Guan had something to say to the young lady alone.

When the door was closed, only Master Guan and Bai Zhi were left in the room.

Bai Zhi found a seat and sat down, then asked Master Guan: “Are those murderers trying to conspire something?”

Master Guan nodded his head with a pale face.

“Miss Bai, those murderers are not ordinary. Some of them are from the Kingdom of Jin and others from the Kingdom of Chu. They mixed because they are aiming the same things. If I could not understand a few words of the Kingdom of Jin, I’m afraid I will be even more miserable now.”

Because he could understand a few local words of the Kingdom of Jin, he had insight into what the other party was planning, so he was able to save his life and some of his family members.

Otherwise, he must be a bunch of rotten meat now.

The Mandarin of the Kingdom of Jin and the Mandarin of Chu were the same. In fact, the Mandarin of several neighboring countries was the same, only the local dialects were different.

Master Guan went to Jin Country to collect medicinal materials in his early years, so he learned a few local words. He thought that he wouldn’t be able to use it in his entire life, but he didn’t expect that it would come in handy at this critical time.

“What are they trying to do?” Bai Zhi asked.

Master Guan’s pale face became paler when he thought of what those people were doing now, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

“Miss Bai, those people are not humans, they are all beasts.”
