Chapter 180 Dongmei confessed
As soon as Mu Lanfeng returned to Ziyunxuan, he immediately wrote out a prescription, and thoughtfully instructed Hongyin to get the medicine and send it to Fengqing Pavilion.
"Who would harm a baby who is only a few months old?" Mu Lanfeng was confused and couldn't figure it out.
I kept thinking about various possibilities in my mind.
The first person that came to mind was Jiang, but under the current circumstances, Jiang obviously had no time to take care of a little child!
"If she really wanted to take action, she would never wait until now." Mu Lanfeng murmured to himself, his heart full of sorrow.
The thought of not telling the truth to Ruan Yun'er at that time made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
That powder is very likely to affect the child's future intelligence. To put it bluntly, it may turn the child into a fool.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Mu Lanfeng prayed silently in his heart, hoping that it had not had such a big impact!
He didn't say anything at that time because he was worried that Ruan Yun'er, out of love for the child, would impulsively go to Mu Hong Liao to argue, which would alarm the person in the dark.
At the moment, there is nothing else to do but wait and hope that the person who poisoned him will show up on his own.
At this moment, Biqing approached quietly and said in a low voice: "Dongmei said she hopes to meet the girl."
"She? At this time? She couldn't hold on after all?" Mu Lanfeng was quite surprised. He had thought that Dongmei was a tough guy who would never give in easily.
Mu Lanfeng pondered for a moment and said to Biqing, "Go and bring Dongmei here."
Bi Qing took the order and was about to turn around and leave, but just as she reached the door, she was stopped by a call.
"Wait, let me go and take a look myself!" said Mu Lanfeng.
"Yes, young lady!" Biqing replied respectfully.
In the woodshed, Dongmei's face was covered with filth, her hair was disheveled like a ball of tangled hemp rope, her eyes were dull and lifeless, she just stared blankly ahead, motionless, like a puppet with its strings cut.
It was not until the door of the woodshed slowly opened and a ray of light quietly seeped in, appearing particularly dazzling in this dim space that Dongmei reacted. She slowly stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, trying to block the sudden dazzling light.
Mu Lanfeng walked in, his eyes fell on the person in front of him, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
After a moment's silence, she asked in a cold voice: "Speak now! Tell me everything you know."
The voice was cold and firm, as if it left no room for doubt.
In the woodshed, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if even the air had frozen.
Dongmei felt the powerful aura emanating from Mu Lanfeng, and her heart trembled, yet she still wanted to seek a glimmer of hope.
"If I tell her, can Fifth Miss guarantee my safety? I'm sure Fifth Miss knows Madam's character better than anyone else! If..." Dongmei said anxiously, her eyes full of fear.
Mu Lanfeng looked at Dongmei coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes, "I don't like others to negotiate with me! If you don't want to tell me, then keep your secret and tell the King of Hell!"
After saying that, Mu Lanfeng turned around resolutely, "Biqing, let's go!"
The tone was firm and cold, leaving Dongmei no room for maneuver.
Seeing Mu Lanfeng about to step out of the woodshed, Dongmei suddenly panicked.
She knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly, her forehead hitting the ground with a dull "dong dong" sound.
"Fifth Miss, I know I was wrong. I will never make any more demands. I will say anything, just ask you to spare my life!" Dongmei begged with tears in her eyes.
Mu Lanfeng stopped her steps as she was about to step out of the woodshed, but did not look back. She slightly turned sideways and said in a cold voice, "This is the last chance. I don't want to hear any nonsense."
"I understand, no nonsense!" Dongmei said hurriedly.
She knew very well that even if Mu Lanfeng let her go back now, Jiang would never give her a chance to live.
Thinking of this, Dongmei felt a surge of despair in her heart. She could only cling to Mu Lanfeng as a life-saving straw and tell him everything she knew, hoping to buy a glimmer of hope.
Mu Lanfeng slowly turned around, came to Dongmei, and looked at her quietly. His eyes were cold, as if they could penetrate people's hearts and make people dare not look directly at him.
Dongmei lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she slowly said, "We are the secret guards carefully trained by Madam. There are dozens of secret guards like us in Wuque Pavilion. It's just that we can openly serve Madam, while the other secret guards are hidden in the dark and unknown to others."
"Tell me something I don't know!" Mu Lanfeng's voice sounded coldly, like the chilly wind in winter, making people shudder.
Dongmei was obviously shocked, her eyes full of astonishment.
The fifth girl actually knew all these things?
So what else didn't she know?
Countless questions suddenly arose in Dongmei's mind.
Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead. She bit her lips nervously, trying to find some valuable information from her confused thoughts.
After a moment, Dongmei took a deep breath and slowly said, "Fifth Miss, Madam... Madam also has a lot of power outside the mansion. She has colluded with some people in the underworld. Those people usually lurk in various places and obey Madam's orders at any time."
"What else?" Mu Lanfeng raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of majesty and eagerness.
"You know all this too?" Dongmei widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
Her voice trembled slightly, filled with surprise and confusion.
She really couldn't imagine how many secrets this fifth girl knew.
Dongmei felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, and she began to doubt whether she still had enough valuable information to provide.
After a while, Dongmei calmed down and spoke again: "Fifth Miss, Madam seems to be planning something big recently. I don't know what it is, but I heard her discussing it privately with her confidants and mentioned a mysterious plan."
"What plan?" Mu Lanfeng frowned slightly and stared at Dongmei.
"I don't know about that. We are only responsible for carrying out the tasks assigned by the madam. With the young lady's great powers, I really don't know what to say. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. I will tell you everything I know." Dongmei lowered her head, with a hint of panic in her voice.
"Do you know this person named Hakecha Flying Eagle?" Mu Lanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly.
Dongmei's eyes instantly showed a hint of surprise. She was slightly stunned for a moment before she spoke: "I have heard that this person is the general of Xilin. Why do you ask about him, young lady?"
From this it seems that Dongmei obviously doesn't know the relationship between Jiang and this person.
"Have any strangers appeared in Wuqiuxuan?" Mu Lanfeng continued to ask, his voice steady and powerful.
Her eyes were fixed on Dongmei, not missing any change in expression on her face.
Dongmei frowned slightly and fell into serious recollection.
After a moment, she slowly said, "There is indeed a person. He comes to Wuque Pavilion once every six months, and every time he comes at night. Moreover, it is a night as dark as ink without any moonlight. He appears and disappears like a ghost, making it hard to predict who is who!"
"Can you see that person's face clearly?" Mu Lanfeng leaned forward slightly, his eyes revealing an anxious question.
Her voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the slightly depressing woodshed.
Dongmei shook her head slightly and said with difficulty: "Every time that person appears, he is extremely secretive and shrouded in darkness. We have never seen his appearance clearly. We only vaguely feel that he is tall and has an inexplicable majesty in his movements. And every time he appears, the lady will dismiss the attendants and have a long conversation with him in the secret room. Although we are curious, we dare not spy on him at all."
"But listening to that person speaking, he has a bit of a foreign accent..." Dongmei stopped talking here.
There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and he seemed to have some guesses in his mind.
After a while, she spoke cautiously, "Fifth Miss, are you saying that the man who came to see Madam in the dark was the great general from Xilin?"
Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of disbelief.
Mu Lanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was deep and cold.
"It's possible." Her voice was cold, like the chill wind in a cold night, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
