They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 193 Protecting Weaknesses

"Have them eliminate the people secretly protecting the Prime Minister."

"I'm all set. I can't possibly carry that much stuff with me in the car."

"Okay, I'll send someone to get it. We need to hurry."

"I suspect the Prime Minister and Wu Chengye are also secretly plotting something to frame me or my older sister."

"You can rest assured about my skills, but they haven't discussed the price with me yet."

Changsun Boyu turned his head to the side, and the light shone back onto his hair.

He seemed to be surrounded by light.

Those distinct angles and strong lines would have made Wu Ziyan want to go up and examine them closely at any other time.

"We'll settle the bill with Fang Yuerong later."

"Oh, I don't want ordinary gold and silver, I want the young lady's kiss."

Ah! So bold! Although he knew that Changsun Boyu was no ordinary man.

But it doesn't have to be said outright.

He completely stumped her; Changsun Boyou saw that she looked a bit like a quail.

"I saw you flirting with other men with such ease, I didn't expect you to be so reserved?"

"Bo You! Let's get down to business. This price... we'll settle it later."

But he seemed unable to wait any longer, so he bent down and gently kissed her forehead.

She just touched it, then looked up and said, "Hurry up, next time, add interest."

Changsun Boyu flicked his hair, and at that moment, several more people appeared out of nowhere.

Dressed in the attire of palace servants, they left with Changsun Boyou.

Wu Chengye kept Huang Ziliang firmly within his sight, close to the Prime Minister, and spoke in a low voice.

"I wonder how the people the Prime Minister arranged are doing? I didn't see the Qi siblings either, but they were there when I heard the Empress speaking."

"We've already started looking, but we haven't found it yet."

"It seems we'll have to wait until the banquet tonight."

"If we find our people and successfully cause a riot, do you still want to spare Huang Ziliang's life?"

That really struck a chord with her; she didn't want Huang Ziliang to die at all.

But if the greater cause is compared to men, then Huang Ziliang must die.

She had already given him the medicine when she left the mansion, although she had also sent the steward to give him the antidote.

But she knew that the housekeeper had secretly destroyed the antidote; she just didn't want to be the villain herself.

Huang Ziliang looks sickly now.

But his mind was perfectly clear; that sickly appearance was just a drawing.

Han Yuxiu and Fang Yuerong were also invited, but the invitations were not given out by Wu Ziyan.

By the time they came in, it was almost lunchtime, and there were so many people inside that they didn't know where to find Wu Ziyan and the others to meet up.

Han Yuxiu and Fang Yuerong met and were both puzzled as to why he was there.

It was clear that there was no familiar figure around, so it seemed that she hadn't invited them.

"Who invited you?" they asked simultaneously.

Not the employer

"It's not her!"

Their minds went blank for a moment. Fang Yuerong clapped her hands, thinking, "Oh no, it's probably the Prime Minister and his men..."

"We have to find Wu Ziyan and the others as soon as possible. They probably know about our important relationship with him and want to use us to keep her in check," Fang Yuerong said.

Han Yuxiu is good at capturing the key phrase "important relationship!" Is he very important to her?

“Let’s go, little brother Yu Xiu, don’t just stand here. This garden is so big, we might not be able to find it in a while.”

"Humph!"

He appeared somewhat reluctant, but still followed Fang Yuerong.

He had never been to the palace before; he had no idea it was so big.

It was many times larger than his small courtyard.

Fang Yuerong had no interest in looking at the scenery around him; even the most beautiful plants couldn't save him from his current panic.

On the other side, Sima Lingchuan, Chu Qiu, and Sima Lingyu were together.

The two brothers were talking when Chu Qiu stood there with his arms crossed, looking around warily to see if anyone was approaching.

After a while, a burst of laughter and chatter was suddenly heard. The people were dressed in flamboyant and extravagant clothes and were not at all composed.

The three turned to look in that direction. Chu Qiu was unfamiliar with the area, but the two brothers' expressions changed.

That was the young master who had been at odds with them since they were in the pavilion.

"Hey hey hey, everyone look who it is!" The voice sounded sharp and sarcastic, and the person didn't seem like a nice guy.

Chu Qiu frowned as he looked at the approaching group of people.

Perhaps only the family of the leader was relatively wealthy, with a group of other women following behind.

"I've seen the two Sima masters, but where are the two princes? Oh, I forgot you two are completely unpopular, aren't you?"

Sima Lingchuan is very dignified; you don't argue with them, just give them a polite greeting.

"So it's Young Master Dong."

"Lord Lingchuan! Where is our Fourth Prince? Why isn't he with you on such an important day?"

"She has business to attend to, so she might as well chat with her brother here?"

Chu Qiu couldn't understand why the two of them were being so polite to the person in front of them.

Sima Lingyu wasn't exactly an unreliable person, but when Chu Qiu glanced at him sideways, he was actually rolling his eyes.

"I heard that you and the Second Princess don't get along. Is that true?"

When he asked that question, Chu Qiu wondered if this person was brainless.

How dare he, the son of a mere Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, interfere in matters of the royal inner court!

As he spoke, he even took a step closer to Sima Lingyu, his eyes filled with provocation.

It turns out that his mother had also wanted to marry him off to the second princess, but Sima Lingyu beat her to it.

"In terms of beauty, I don't think I'm inferior to you. The Second Princess doesn't like you, yet you still go out of your way to fawn over her."

Chu Qiu's understanding was once again refreshed; the men in this pavilion could speak so rudely.

And is it okay to say these things all the time?

Sima Lingyu wasn't too angry, after all, he didn't have much affection for the second princess.

He just stood there and let him talk, but Cheng Yi, who was accompanying Changsun Bozong in the distance, also heard the commotion.

His Highness had something to attend to and instructed her to look after Changsun Bozong by his side. How come we could hear someone making a racket over there from so far away!

"Hey, that looks like Lingchuan over there." Changsun Bozong looked up at the Earl from the platform and saw a group of people gathered there.

Cheng Yi's eyes fell on Sima Lingyu, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes, while Changsun Bozong walked in that direction.

As they got closer, they heard Dong Feiyuan speaking rudely.

"I'm telling you, you might as well just give up your position as a househusband!"

Sima Lingyu really wanted to agree to his request; he didn't want to be a lousy househusband for even a day.

But when Cheng Yi heard this, he stepped forward before Changsun Bozong could even speak.

"A group of men arguing here, what kind of manners is this!"

Upon hearing a woman's voice, everyone turned to look, and there stood Changsun Bozong, with a half-smile on his face.

He was also very dignified. Is this the temperament of the eldest princess's husband?

"Who do we have here? It's the young master of the Dong family, bullying my two younger brothers."
