The timing of making a move on the Lance's seemed to be even worse.

Sun Jinzi had always suspected that the cold poison on her body was related to the Lance's.

After all, the matter of her saving Imperial Consort Yu the last time had left a deep impression on her.

And to her knowledge, Lance's had never been skilled in medicine.

"Mu Rong, send the message down, keep an eye on Aunt Lan." She really wanted to see how Lance's, a mere aunt, could have so much courage and ability to do so.

"Miss, don't worry. This servant will do my best to handle this matter." Mu Rong wasn't good at persuading others, but doing these things was her specialty.

Early in the morning, the city was bustling with noise and excitement.

"Your Highness, we have been in the The Jin Dynasty for so long and we haven't done anything yet. Will His Majesty blame us? " The little maid looked at Princess of Dongchu and carefully spoke.

Yesterday, she had received news from the Easternum, but in truth, the Emperor of the East Chu was already very unhappy about Sima Yuzhu coming to the The Jin Dynasty for so long, and not being able to accomplish even one thing.

The little maid had long known about Emperor of the East Chu's attitude towards him, and at this moment, these words were merely a tactful reminder to Sima Yuzhu.

"What's the rush? Haven't you seen that I've been working on something recently?"

Sima Yuzhu was used to being spoiled, when had it ever been a little maid's turn to criticize her? She immediately glared at him, filled with displeasure.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. This servant deserves to die ten thousand times. "

Seeing the maid act like this, Sima Yuzhu was annoyed. "Stop acting like this, it's boring." She just kept saying that she was going to die, and she didn't know if there would be anything new.

"Let me tell you, if someone asks, you can tell them the truth. This Princess isn't anything, he didn't do anything."

How could she, a princess who could lead soldiers, only think about seducing men?

Her other goal during this trip was to find someone in Easternum who had been missing for a long time.

She didn't know that person's appearance, nor did she know his name, but she knew that he had a characteristic, and a pair of talismans that could quickly identify him.

Right now, she still hadn't found that person. However, she would soon have news of him.

And Sun Jinzi's cold poison was evidence.

"Your Highness, don't tell me you already have a clue?" The maid said.

"There is indeed, but don't ask me, I don't want to say it right now."

Sima Yuzhu rolled her eyes slightly. She was not completely confident so she temporarily did not want to mention this matter.

At the same time, Sun Jinzi had Mu Rong send out people to keep an eye on the Lance's, and she had indeed received news.

"Miss, it has been my duty for Lance's to not go anywhere these few days."

"I know, but you must know, she has never been anywhere. It is not because of her duty, but because of her limited identity. Thus, she is unable to go anywhere."

"Then what should we do?" Mu Rong knew from Sun Jinzi's words that she had always suspected her.

If she didn't go anywhere and did nothing, it was clear that they wouldn't get any good news at all.

That was why the Lance's had to make a move in order for them to obtain the information they needed.

"If you don't have a chance to go out, then create some opportunities."

Sun Jinzi looked up slightly, her eyes clear and bright.

Mu Rong still did not understand.

"Lance's is most concerned about her precious daughter, Sun Jinning. If she knew what happened to her daughter, she would definitely not ignore her."

"This servant understands." Mu Rong replied.

She understood Sun Jinzi's intentions. As the saying goes, hitting a snake or seven inches is the same as grabbing onto the seven inches of Lance's; she would naturally listen to him.

Soon, it would be summer. When that time came, perhaps everyone would have to go to the manor outside the city to take shelter during the summer. When that time came …

But it's been too long.

Sun Jinzi thought silently in her heart, then shook her head. Since Mu Rong left with such confidence, perhaps the other party would have already made a decision.

Recently, the cold poison on her body had become more and more powerful, and he was not moving for a while, as though all the blood in her body was going to freeze solid. His hands and feet were ice-cold, and only by temporarily consuming the pills concocted by Ji Zi would she be able to keep her blood from warming up again.

"Yah, Miss, why are you so cold?" Mu Tan was at the side tidying up the bed, and seeing Sun Jinzi take out a medicine bottle to eat, Mu Tan finally came over to take a look, and the result shocked him greatly.

"I'm fine." It would be useless to say that he had something to do, so he might as well be a little stronger himself.

"I will go look for Aunt Lan." Mu Tan had long blamed the Lance's in her heart.

He wholeheartedly believed that it was the doing of the Lance's.

Sun Jinzi immediately pulled her back.

"You're going to look for her? Have you thought about what to say? " Was he going to directly accuse her of giving him medicine? And then force her to hand over the antidote?

How could she admit to being such an intelligent and hardworking woman like the Lance's? Let alone the fact that Mu Tan had no tone of voice, even if she had a tone of voice, the Lance's would still be able to force the words out of her.

In any case, it wasn't that Sun Jinzi didn't have the means to see the Lance's.

It was definitely not by chance that she was able to survive under the pressure of the Zhong's. She had her own means of self-protection.

She had even pushed her own daughter into First Prince's Estate, which could be considered as asking for mercy, but unfortunately, there was a mistake and she became lateral consort.

The sky was getting brighter, and the late spring afternoon was getting warmer.

Sun Jinzi raised her head and looked at the elm tree outside the window.

The leaves finally grew, growing larger and larger like coins.

If it was forged into a copper color, it would truly be like a copper coin. It was enough to turn one into an illusion.

Sun Jinzi did not go out much these past few days.

As such, these few days, she seemed to be extremely anxious. Furthermore, ever since she had seen the cold poison on Sun Jinzi, the person who poisoned her was no longer there, so what she wanted to investigate was already blocked.

"Your Highness …" The maid, who was always concerned about the progress, spoke in a low voice.

~ The Princess Jade should have heard her story by now, right?

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it." considered his identity and did not say anything about it.

"Your Highness, there are no movements over there, shouldn't we take the initiative to attack?"

They were sitting on the ground, waiting. There was nothing they could do, nothing they could do.

"Attack, attack, don't you want to become the This Princess?"

Princess Sima Yuzhu's temper was explosive, and at this moment, it was about to explode.

Didn't she want to take the initiative?

Unfortunately, she didn't have the slightest clue as to who the poisoner was.

There was even less of a need to talk about Sixth Prince Jin Chupei. She had submitted several times but had been forced to return to the prince's mansion with the help of his steward.

This excuse gave her more face. Originally, based on Jin Chupei's temper, he wouldn't even let her through the doorstep.

"Laner, tell me, who should I look for?" Sima Yuzhu's eyes suddenly lit up.

She had some things of her own that were inconvenient to do. It would be better to use someone else's hand to do them.

"Miss Sun San, this servant can see that she is very close to you, Your Highness."

The Laner had actually come up with an idea for Sima Yuzhu.

Sima Yuzhu then laughed sweetly, "You are right."

On the second day, Sun Jinmeng went to pay her respects to the Zhong's with great happiness.

"Mother, today, I won't come to study Buddhist scriptures with you."

Sun Jinmeng said in an extremely happy tone.

She was wearing a pink embroidered peony blouse with an empty petticoat beneath it. The lace was made of gold and silver thread. She wore exquisite jewelry on her head, and her eyes were bright.

"Where are we going?" The number of Zhong's s would not care about her precious daughter leaving the house, they would at most ask her about it.

However, if it was Sun Jinzi, she would not be willing to let him go.

After all, there was a difference between a person and a person.

"The Jade Bead Your Highness has invited me to go out to admire the lake and row boats." Sun Jinmeng took out the invitation that Sima Yuzhu had sent over as if she was offering a treasure.

"Isn't Princess Jade Pearl the princess that Easternum came over to see?"

With such a high status, why would she suddenly want to walk together with Sun Jinmeng? It was not because Zhong's thought so much, but because she had heard quite a few things about Sima Yuzhu.

"What did she think?"

This Your Highness was really interesting.

He had been here for quite a while, but he didn't say anything about inviting all the concubines and princesses in the palace. However, when it came to clothes, he only liked this one.

"Mother, do you care what the princess thinks?" Sun Jinmeng didn't want to know at all.

"Meng Er, let me tell you, don't be too rash on this matter, it will not benefit you in the slightest."

Although she did not recognize the Princess of Dongchu, but she had been in the capital of the The Jin Dynasty for a long time, and just by knowing the rumors, she knew that she was not an ordinary person. If Sun Jinmeng got involved to her, even if she got involved, would not be able to escape.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhong's did not want his precious daughter to be involved with that foreign princess.

"I don't care, now that the princess is inviting me, how can I not go? What's more, there's still the Prime Minister's Estate's elder cousin."

When she talked about the young ladies of the Prime Minister's Estate, Sun Jinmeng straightened her back and became even more confident.

When Zhong's heard that his nieces at home were involved, he didn't have anything to say.

He had only quietly warned her once, telling her not to get too close with that Princess of Dongchu.

"Learn a little about your cousins. They are all dignified young masters and mistresses, and know how to behave. Also, remember to keep a little distance from Princess of Dongchu. No matter how noble her identity is, she is still a member of a different race.
