At this point, Gu Yanshuang’s expression turned vicious again. “It’s all that little wretch’s fault. Just like her mother—equally vile. She’s about to die, yet she still has to come out and disgust me.”
“Auntie, go find out what’s happening in that dead girl’s courtyard! What exactly happened? Why does my husband know that wretched girl was poisoned with gu?”
“Yes…”
The aunt sighed and hurried out.
Gu Yanshuang slumped onto the couch, her gaze growing darker and more sinister.
She didn’t notice that two people were on the roof, prying apart the tiles and watching her.
Tang Wan and Mu Qingfeng had left the prince’s residence—only to circle back.
If it were just Tang Wan alone, she wouldn’t dare. The residence was heavily guarded, and she didn’t know any lightness skills.
But with Mu Qingfeng there, it was no problem at all. His qinggong was even better than her husband’s—sneaking in was easy.
After watching the scene, Tang Wan gave Mu Qingfeng a look: See? I told you there’d be a good show.
Mu Qingfeng rolled his eyes back at her: We should leave, or we’ll be discovered.
Wait!
Tang Wan pointed at Gu Yanshuang inside and gestured frantically: This woman is too evil—give her a lesson, or she’ll keep harming Huangfu Ronglan!
Mu Qingfeng looked confused, clearly unable to interpret her expressions.
Tang Wan rolled her eyes, pointed at his chest, and mouthed: Poison. Got any?
Mu Qingfeng finally understood. He nodded and pulled out several small bottles for her to see.
Tang Wan looked closely—wow.
As expected of someone from the Mu family. What a variety.
Crane’s Top Red, Heartbreak Grass—those deadly poisons were one thing. But there were also things like “Eighteen Consecutive Blasts,” itching powder, mouth ulcer powder…
Eight or nine kinds in total!
Tang Wan picked up the bottle labeled “Eighteen Consecutive Blasts” and looked at Mu Qingfeng questioningly: What’s this?
Mu Qingfeng twitched awkwardly: It makes you fart nonstop—and gives you diarrhea.
Tang Wan: …
She silently gave him a thumbs up.
Brother, you’re impressive.
She then grabbed the itching powder and held up the two bottles innocently: These two. Let’s use them.
Mu Qingfeng nodded. The next moment, he leapt down, used a bamboo tube to poke through the window paper, and blew something inside.
Before long, Tang Wan saw Gu Yanshuang fall asleep.
Mu Qingfeng then opened the window, slipped inside, pried open her mouth, and forced both substances down her throat.
After finishing, the two accomplices quietly left the prince’s residence.
Products of the Mu family—always effective.
Not long after, even while still unconscious, Gu Yanshuang began passing gas.
Each loud burst was accompanied by something unspeakable leaking from somewhere unspeakable.
In just a short time, the entire room was filled with a foul stench.
When the aunt returned, the smell made her face twitch violently.
As soon as she went inside and saw the scene, she screamed.
“Princess Consort! Princess Consort, what’s wrong with you? Heavens—Princess Consort!”
…
Late at night, Tang Wan and Mu Qingfeng returned home and immediately told Ling Yu everything.
Ling Yu had been furious upon hearing about Huangfu Ronglan’s situation—but when Tang Wan described how they dealt with Gu Yanshuang, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“You…” He tapped her forehead, his eyes full of gentle affection. “You little trickster.”
Tang Wan grinned. “I was just helping big sister vent her anger!”
Seeing the sweet atmosphere between them, Mu Qingfeng quietly slipped away.
Ling Yu then took Tang Wan’s hand, a soft smile spreading across his face like ripples on water.
“Wan’er, thank you.”
“If you really want to thank me, then sleep with me!”
“…Forget it. I can’t afford to thank you.”
