Yuan Qianyi pondered for a moment, then asked Dong Er: "Have you found any of the people that I told you to investigate?"

Dong Er nodded her head and said: "I found it, it took a lot of effort!"

"What's her name? Which palace's palace maid is this? "

"Her name is Ji Cui in the palace, she is a palace maid with Yonghe Palace." While talking, Dong Er moved closer to Yuan Qianyi and mysteriously said: "I secretly inquired about it. Ji Cui isn't considered a new maid who just entered the palace, but she entered the palace with Princess Wangfei. It is said that when Princess Wangfei was still in Shang Jing, she was already a palace maid by Princess Wangfei's side." As she spoke till here, she smiled and sighed, "To think that Holy King had already planted someone by the wangfei's side."

Yuan Qianyi laughed bitterly in her heart, that's right, the Holy King was powerful and resourceful, she had set up countless of spies in various places, all sorts of big events in the world would probably never escape her ?

She nodded and said indifferently, "I understand."

"Miss, should we invite her over?" Dong Er asked.

"No need, since you know your limits and have confirmed that she is someone from the Holy King, I no longer need to probe further." Yuan Qianyi said casually.

"Yes sir!" Dong Er acknowledged him, but she had a baffled expression.

She told herself to investigate Ji Cui's identity to confirm if she was really someone sent by the Holy King. She spent a lot of effort to find out, and she didn't want to see it anymore.

Yuan Qianyi changed the subject and said to the girls: "All of you go out of the palace today and buy some exquisite gifts at the market outside the city. Don't worry about the money." As she spoke, she pulled out a dozen silver notes from her sleeve and handed them over.

The four girls immediately understood what she meant. With smiles on their faces, they quickly took the banknotes and kept them in their pockets. They knew that Yuan Qianyi was already prepared to take action, and they also knew that they could take this opportunity to buy some things they liked.

The four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, left happily. According to Yuan Qianyi's orders, they would be going to the market outside the city to pick out a present, and the moment they left, Yuan Qianyi called for a small palace maid to come in.

This little palace maid was not a person of Divine Pool, she was a confidant that Yuan Qianyi had cultivated herself. After the little palace maid came in, she slowly asked, "Little Peach, is your mother's illness better?"

Upon hearing her question, the palace maid called Xiaotao immediately knelt on the ground and choked with sobs. "Thanks to the mistress's silver for bestowing it to me, my mother's illness has completely healed ?"

"That's good. Get up and speak." Yuan Qianyi smiled and waved her hand. Then she said: "Go and help me invite a person. Now."

"Who does Madam want me to hire?"

"Master Gao, Dark Arrow."

"Yes!" My lady! This servant will go now! " Xiaotao acknowledged him and quickly walked out.

Speaking of which, coincidentally, Xiao Tao went out to look for Hidden Arrow Crew, and asked them about it. It just so happened that Gao Mucheng was on duty today, and was patrolling in the palace. Following the guidance of the Hidden Arrow Crew, Xiaotao found Gao Mucheng.

After she explained the reason for her visit, Gao Mucheng frowned and asked: "Madam has asked for it? "Which lady?"

"Madame de Ron."

"Oh ?" Gao Mucheng's frown deepened. Madam De Rong? He didn't have any friendship with Madam DeRong, so why did she suddenly invite him over today? He carefully asked, "Miss Xiaotao, may I know why you invited me here?"

Although Xiaotao was very young, she still had a big demeanor. She raised her head high and arrogantly said, "If I tell you to go, then go. Why are you asking so many questions?"

This damned child! Gao Mucheng cursed in his heart, but since he was his wife's maid, he did not dare to offend his. With a hollow laugh, he cupped his hands and said: "Alright, I'll go over right now."

With a mind filled with bewilderment, Gao Mucheng followed Little Peach to Yuan Qianyi's Golden Ning Palace. When he saw Yuan Qianyi in the hall, Gao Mucheng bowed respectfully and said, "I am Gao Mucheng, I pay my respects to Madam."

"Master Gao, no need to be so courteous, please take a seat!" Yuan Qianyi smiled and waved politely towards Gao Mucheng. The other party was being courteous, so how could Gao Mucheng dare to be presumptuous. He stood there obediently with his head lowered.

"Master Gao won't mind if I suddenly invite him, right?" Yuan Qianyi asked with a smile.

"Aiya, how could that be? Madam has killed such a despicable person!" Gao Mucheng cupped his hands and replied.

"This time, I have a request for you." While speaking, she took out a small Brocade Box from the side, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Gao Mucheng.

Gao Mucheng secretly took a glance, and immediately lowered his gaze, and anxiously said: "If Madam has anything, feel free to ask. This lowly one will do his best to help you solve your problem."

"Very good, since Master Gao can say this, it's not in vain for me to invite you here."

After a moment, she restrained the smile on her face and said seriously," "there is a palace maid called Shiyu at Yonghe Palace who often makes trouble. She is extremely hateful and the big man has thought of a way to make her disappear from the palace. It's best if she never appears again."

Yuan Qianyi's intention was obvious, she wanted him to kill that palace maid called Ji Cui. Gao Mucheng sucked in a deep breath. Actually, with his current identity, killing a palace maid was as easy as flipping his palm, but the palace maid that Yuan Qianyi wanted him to execute came from the Yonghe Palace. She was a person of the Consort Wangfei, so even if this matter were to spread to the ears of the Consort, he wouldn't be able to protect his head even if he had ten times the brains. Gao Mucheng lowered his head, his brows knitted tightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Knowing that he was worried, Yuan Qianyi patted the Brocade Box's lid and laughed: "I am deeply grateful to Master Gao for accomplishing this, and will add more words of praise before the Great King Ming. If I fail, then not only will Master Gao not be able to stay in the shadows, it will also be difficult to have a foothold."

After Gao Mucheng heard this, his expression changed. Not many people knew about the Umbra, and even fewer knew that he had joined the Umbra. It seemed that this Madame de Rong was also favored by the King!

There was no need for such threats at all. Just a single sentence from Yuan Qianyi was enough to cause him to tremble in fear.

He was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely do what Madam has instructed me to do. Please rest assured Madam, it will take at most three days for this lowly one to completely disappear from the palace without a trace. "

"Very good, Master Gao's words have made me feel much more comfortable. Go and do what you have to do! " Yuan Qianyi picked up her tea cup and waved her hand without even raising her head.

"Yes!" Madam, I will take my leave! " Gao Mucheng gave another deep bow before slowly retreating outwards. When he was about to exit the hall, Yuan Qianyi put down the teacup in his hand and called out: "Master Gao."

"I'm here!" Gao Mucheng bowed and replied.

"I know that you alone is not enough to accomplish this. Take this and use it as a preparation." While speaking, her eyes glanced at the Brocade Box on the table.

Gao Mucheng quickly said: "No, no, no, working for Madam is my duty, how can I dare to accept Madam's rewards?"

"You don't dare to accept my reward, but do you dare to disobey my orders!?" Yuan Qianyi chuckled as she looked at Gao Mucheng.

Gao Mucheng's body trembled, he did not dare say more, and quickly walked forward, picked up the Brocade Box on the table, and knelt down to kowtow: "I thank the Madam for his grace!"

"Go!" Yuan Qianyi picked up the book, and her seemingly delicate body slowly laid down.

"This lowly one will take his leave!" When Gao Mucheng withdrew the Brocade Box that Yuan Qianyi had gifted him and left Golden Peace Palace, he could not help but let out a long sigh and carelessly touched his forehead.

This Madam De Rong was normally low-key and casual, but today, it was as if he had become a different person. That natural aura and pressure he gave off made Gao Mucheng feel like he was suffocating.

"Master Gao, why is Madam de Rong looking for you?" The Hidden Arrow Crew that were waiting outside all went forward, and one of the people who was closer to Gao Mucheng asked curiously.

"It's not a big deal. My lady is just giving me a 'small errand'." As he spoke, he waved towards the Hidden Arrow Crew crowd, and said: "Everyone disperse, whatever you're busy with, go busy yourself. Du Shan, you stay."

All of the Hidden Arrow Crew cupped their hands and left, in the end, only Gao Mucheng and Du Shan remained.

Gao Mucheng pulled Du Shan along, and said as they walked: "Du Shan, immediately go and check if there is a palace maid called Ji Cui in the Yonghe Palace. Find out what kind of origin she is, and what her relationship is with the Madam.

The Hidden Arrow Crew being called Du Shan had a face full of doubt, and asked: "Everything's fine, why did Master Gao go investigate her?"

"Someone reported that this woman has ulterior motives. He often makes a fool out of the king in front of an imperial concubine. His crimes are unforgivable, so of course I have to investigate more thoroughly." Gao Mucheng raised his head and said, "Quickly go and check, the faster the better."

"Yes!" This little one understands. " Du Shan acknowledged his as he turned around and quickly left.

After he left, Gao Mucheng arrived at a quiet and secluded place. He took out the Brocade Box that Yuan Qianyi had gifted him, opened the lid and took a look inside. Two pigeon egg-sized pearls were placed inside, shining under the sunlight.

Gao Mucheng was a knowledgeable person, upon seeing the two beads, he immediately determined that they were priceless treasures that were hard to come by. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he thought to himself, This Madam De Rong is really generous to be able to obtain such a treasure from the start.

He quickly closed the lid and looked around. At the same time, he carefully put the Brocade Box into his sleeves and slowly walked away as if nothing had happened.

Du Shan inherited the usual way in which Hidden Arrow Crew did things, and his efficiency was very high. He had investigated everything they told him in the day and at night, and returned to report it to Gao Mucheng.

He was able to find out her background. This girl was from Shang Jing, and had lost both her father and mother to an orphan, so he was chosen to enter the palace as a palace maid by chance. Afterwards, he stayed by the princess's side all the time.

After that, the princess married the king and Ji Cui, as her family, moved into the palace as well. As for her relationship with the princess, it was very ordinary, even if it was a master-servant relationship, and the princess didn't think highly of her. Although she was a 'family member', she still did some menial and heavy work, and was classified as one of the lowest level palace maids.1
