The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 64

Chapter 64

"You're neither residential guards nor women. Then you are," the corners of Mu Xi Yao's lips curled up. Full of interest, she looked at the opposite side, "The Flying Guillotine?"

The six men who were about to take action instantly froze. Momentarily, they were all stunned inside.

How did this woman learn about the secret of the The Flying Guillotine? Was it because she had an unusual identity or the sixth Highness already knew?

The brows of their leader were tightly knitted. He stared at Mu Xi Yao who was surrounded by a relaxed and leisure air, being very wary of her. Just as he was contemplating whether he should stop the operation and quickly go back to report to his superior, he heard that woman speak up again.

"Are Hua Meis who were sent back to you a few days ago to your satisfaction?" The zither note she played was slow. The sound made people's hair stand on end in the spacious and empty hall.

The men clad in black couldn't keep calm anymore. Sweat started to ooze from their foreheads.

This woman surely wasn't the favored consort in the inner yard. She was even familiar with such an important matter of the prince's estate. Her identity was certainly dreadful.

Previously, he has heard the news that Yuancheng Emperor governed a branch of secret guards that were usually well-hidden. They undertook only big cases and have never failed.

Could it be this woman's background was connected to it? As he was alarmed and unsettled, intending to retreat, he saw the woman on the opposite side slowly get up.

"Since you aren't fond of tea and, in addition, sir does not like zither music, how about going to the estate and have a talk with qie?" As she finished, her pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at the visitors, a smile engaging her face.

Seeing that circumstances were not in their favor, the men clad in black immediately wanted to flee. However, as soon as they made a step, their whole body became paralyzed, losing their strength in a flash. They didn't even manage to crack the poison pill in their mouth.

Mu Xi Yao looked at the four silhouettes that subsequently came down from the beam. She has accurately found out the secret guards from their estate. Her beautiful eyes blinked. She had then, with a face full of sympathy, waved a silk fabric before their faces.

After waiting for another moment, she extinguished incense in the burner and called Mo Lan inside.

Mo Lan had set only one foot inside and, already, she couldn't refrain herself from crying in alarm when she entered. Her head felt dizzy as she looked at the men clad in black attire on the floor who have appeared out of blue. Then, she looked at her master who stood intact in the hall. She even reached out her tiptoe to kick a bit the man sprawled on the floor.

When Wei Zhen burst in, he just happened to catch sight of Mo Lan pulling at mistress Yao who was kicking people. There were men clad in black chaotically lying on the floor with disbelieving expressions and two secret guards who were in the middle of getting up.

"Get out the poisonous pill from their mouth and plug it. Afterward, tie them up and bring them back to the palace." Mu Xi Yao conveniently pointed at Wei Zhen.

Mu Xi Yao took along with her the still jabbering Mo Lan. With a cheerful mood, she went down and picked the little bun. She waited for Wei Zhen to tidy up everything as she watched the bustling crowd at the river bank.

As the great Wei commander listened to the secret guards' incoherent report, he was utterly confused.

This was mistress Yao's doing? What were The Flying Guillotine and Hua Mei the secret guards spoke about? Furthermore, the men clad in black collapsed as soon as they heard the zither mistress Yao played??
