Chapter 173: It’s easy to hide from open guns and hard to avoid hidden arrows

"I just want to exchange some valuable things for cash!" Wu Yinshuang said anxiously.

"Are you short of money?"

Hearing this, Wu Yinshuang cursed fiercely in his heart: "Bitch!"

Thinking that he had never received even a penny of silver reward from her, he felt even more angry.

"Yes." She nodded without hesitation.

"What do you want the money for?"

Wu Qingyue stared at her, trying to find flaws in her expression and words.

"What else can I do? Of course I spend it!" Wu Yinshuang raised his chin and responded righteously.

However, how could Wu Qingyue easily believe her words?

"If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll throw you back into that dark hell to suffer!"

"No!"

Wu Yinshuang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shook her head desperately and said, "I'm telling the truth! I really just want to exchange some things for some money. I don't have any other bad intentions!"

Although she said so, her wandering eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

Looking at Wu Yinshuang who still refused to give in, Wu Qingyue snorted coldly and thought to herself, "You're really stubborn!"

However, at this moment, she suddenly changed her mind: "Okay, I'll believe what you say this time."

When Wu Yinshuang heard this, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, this subtle change in her expression did not escape Wu Qingyue's sharp eyes.

Wu Qingyue was certain that she was hiding something from her.

So, she turned to the housekeeper beside her and ordered, "Let her go."

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper was surprised and asked hesitantly, "Princess, is this...appropriate?"

"It's okay, it's just a small misunderstanding, let her go."

Wu Qingyue waved her hand, signaling the butler to do as she was told.

"Yes."

Seeing that the princess had made up her mind, the butler said no more and waved his hand to let his men let her go.

"Thank you sister!"

Wu Qingyue looked at Wu Yinshuang's back as he left with difficulty, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After Wu Yinshuang left, she called the palace maid beside her and whispered, "Follow her quietly and see who she contacts and what she wants to do."

The palace maid took the order and left.

Wu Yinshuang arrived at the back door of the side hall. After looking around to make sure no one was following her, she knocked three times on the leftmost wall.

Immediately afterwards, someone knocked three times from outside the wall, as if in response to her.

A stone at the bottom of the corner was taken away by someone. Wu Yinshuang quickly bent down and whispered something to the person over there.

The palace maid was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to get too close, and naturally she didn't hear what they said.

Not long after, a heavy package was stuffed in from the other side of the wall. Wu Yinshuang quickly took the thing and hid it in his sleeve.

Seeing this, the maid hurried back to report to the woman what she had just seen.

Wu Qingyue's eyes turned cold. It seemed that she was not honest after all.

In order to prevent alerting the enemy, Wu Qingyue ordered the palace maids to keep an eye on Wu Yinshuang's actions to prevent any accidents.

As the days passed, the woman's belly gradually bulged.

A certain man was a father for the first time and had no experience. He was very surprised by the changes in Wu Qingyue's belly!

Whenever he has time, he stares at the woman's belly with fiery eyes, as if he wants to see through her belly and see what's going on inside!

The news that the Ninth Princess was pregnant gradually spread throughout the palace.

People began to come to the side hall to visit one after another. These people used the name of visiting the Ninth Princess to show their presence in front of Xiao Shiyi and attract the man's attention.

But there were also some people who chose to wait and see, and these people were from Xiao Muli's party.

That day, Wu Yanzhen also came to visit after hearing the news.

"Princess Ninth, I heard you are pregnant. Congratulations."

She seemed to be sincerely congratulating Wu Qingyue, but her eyes kept glancing at Wu Qingyue's abdomen.

Wu Qingyue sneered in her heart but remained expressionless.

"Rare guest, what brings you here?"

Wu Yanzhen laughed dryly twice, "I heard about the good news and came here to congratulate you."

Wu Qingyue gently stroked her belly and said nonchalantly, "Thank you, Princess, for your concern. It's just that the baby in my belly is still unstable, and I'm always feeling anxious."

Wu Yanzhen's eyes rolled. "Princess, please be at ease. However, the people in this palace are treacherous. Princess, you still have to be careful of those around you."

Wu Qingyue raised her eyes and looked straight at Wu Yanzhen, "Princess, what you said makes sense. I wonder if the princess has heard any rumors?"

Wu Yanzhen was shocked and waved her hands quickly, "No, no, Princess, please don't misunderstand."

"is it?"

"Yes!"

"Ah."

Wu Qingyue nodded: "I understand the princess's advice. However, those who are by my side are all my confidants. They will never harm me, but Wu Yinshuang..."

She deliberately mentioned the name "Wu Yinshuang" and then quietly observed Wu Yanzhen's reaction——

Wu Qingyue noticed that a trace of discomfort flashed across Wu Yanzhen's face when he heard "Wu Yinshuang".

She was moved and said deliberately: "Although she is my sister in name only, the princess also knows that my sister and I have always been at odds. Last time, she even wanted to kill me. So, I have to be on guard against her!"

Wu Yanzhen forced a smile, "This woman has a vicious mind. I discovered this when she and I were serving the Crown Prince together. Princess Nine really needs to be more cautious."

Wu Qingyue tilted her head slightly, and said with a half-smile, "It's easy for Princess to say. I have to be on guard, but 'it's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark'. I'm pregnant now, and my movements are not convenient, so I have to be careful everywhere."

As she spoke, she sighed softly.

Seeing this, Wu Yanzhen was secretly delighted, thinking that this was an opportunity, so he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I do know some ways to deal with it, but I'm afraid the princess doesn't want to hear it."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Wu Qingyue's eyes, "Princess, please feel free to speak."

"I heard there's a kind of medicine that's colorless and tasteless. If you sneak it into someone's food, it'll slowly make them lose their minds. If Wu Yinshuang does something out of line, the princess will have a legitimate reason to punish her."

Wu Yanzhen offered advice with a sinister look on his face.

Wu Qingyue snorted in her heart, but pretended to be surprised on the surface, "I don't know of such a wonderful thing. Thank you, Princess, for telling me. I will definitely reward you handsomely if I become the Japanese concubine."

"It should be."

After Wu Yanzhen left with satisfaction, Wu Qingyue put away her smile and secretly mocked the princess for being so shameless. It had only been a few days since she insulted him in public at Qingshan Temple?

Will she come to thank me with a smile today?

Do you really think I'm a fool?
