To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

Chapter 304 Hey! Now look what's happened, the vinegar jar has been completely overturned!

Zhang Fan was furious. He instinctively took two steps back, swallowed hard, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and shout to catch the assassin.

Hearing the commotion, Mi Yueyao slowly opened her captivating peach blossom eyes. Seeing Zhang Fan's alarmed expression, she showed no panic, but instead smiled faintly:

"Young Master Zhang, you're back so soon?"

She slowly set down her teacup, sat up straight, and said with a hint of mockery in her tone, "Has the young master forgotten that this assassination organization, 'Wind and Rain Pavilion,' is my property? How could a mere Mo family stronghold and a dozen guards possibly contain me?"

At this point, Mi Yueyao stretched, revealing her breathtaking curves, and sighed softly:

"However, seeing that you returned so quickly and unharmed, I suppose all the troubles in the palace have been resolved? I was originally thinking that if you had encountered danger in Zhangtai Palace, I would have had the assassins from Fengyu Pavilion risk their lives to rescue you from the palace."

"What a pity, all my elaborate preparations have been rendered useless!"

Hearing Mi Yueyao's nonchalant words, Zhang Fan felt his mind go blank!

He stared intently at the woman in front of him, and his first instinct was to turn around and rush out to report to the authorities!

Summon the Court of Justice and the Great Qin Black Ice Guard to capture this witch!

So it turns out that all these days, she was tied up by him and obediently followed him back to Xianyang, it was all an act!

This woman was not only not controlled, but she was even able to mobilize assassins to storm the palace and rescue people at any time, right under the emperor's nose in Xianyang!

Seeing Zhang Fan's tense posture, with one foot already stepping out the door, ready to burst out at any moment, Mi Yueyao finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Alright, young master, don't be afraid."

Mi Yueyao covered her mouth and chuckled softly, the sharpness in her eyes completely fading, replaced by an exceptionally languid air. "If I truly wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. But these past few days have been filled with anxiety and worry, and I'm exhausted. I just want to rest properly in this quiet courtyard!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan's tense nerves immediately froze.

He stopped, looking at her with a suspicious expression, and blurted out, "A good rest? You're not going to rebel anymore? Not going to restore the kingdom?"

Mi Yueyao paused slightly in her rocking chair movement.

She raised her head, her beautiful eyes gazing intently at Zhang Fan. After a long while, she softly asked, "Young master... do you perhaps wish to see me restore my kingdom?"

Zhang Fan subconsciously shook his head.

He looked at Mi Yueyao's exquisite face. Although she was still stunningly beautiful under the sunlight, the deep weariness and boredom between her brows could not be concealed.

Seeing Mi Yueyao like this, Zhang Fan unconsciously lowered his guard a bit.

Thinking about it carefully, although this woman is extremely dangerous, ruthless and reckless, and often gets herself into a lot of trouble that could cost her her head, she has never really thought of harming herself.

Even in the deadly situation in Langya Lane, he managed to send someone to save his life!

Moreover, ever since that night when she drugged him and that unexpected turn of events occurred, Zhang Fan discovered that subconsciously, he didn't want to kill her at all, much less hand her over to the Black Ice Guard to suffer endless torment.

"For now, it would be good if she could just stay put and behave herself..." Zhang Fan sighed inwardly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan's anger subsided. He strode into the courtyard, looked down at her, and nodded irritably.

"Alright! Since you don't want to go through all that trouble, then just rest here!"

"If you lack anything in terms of food, clothing, or daily necessities, just ask the servants in the manor. But!"

Zhang Fan's tone turned serious as he sternly warned, "Don't cause me any more trouble! This is Xianyang, right under the Emperor's nose! If you dare to cause any more trouble, I absolutely won't help you next time, and I certainly won't save you!"

Although Zhang Fan gave a stern reprimand.

Mi Yueyao tilted her head slightly.

She looked at Zhang Fan, her red lips curving upwards into a stunning smile.

That smile was like a spring breeze sweeping across a frozen lake, causing a hundred flowers to bloom, so bright and beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off it.

Zhang Fan froze on the spot, staring at that smiling face so close to his face. He felt his heart skip a beat, and his breath caught in his throat for a few seconds.

The two of them just stared at each other in silence.

After a long while, Zhang Fan suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had been completely captivated by a traitor.

"You can stay here by yourself! I have a ton of things to do!"

Zhang Fan fled in panic.

This woman is uncontrollable!

A fairy!

He rushed out the gate in one breath!

Outside the mansion gate, two guards were standing guard dutifully. Seeing Zhang Fan rushing out, they quickly bowed and greeted him: "Immortal Master..."

"Bang! Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fan gave each of them a sharp, resounding rap on the head!

"Ouch! My lord, why are you hitting your subordinates?" The two guards covered their heads, looking at Zhang Fan with a wronged expression.

"Why did I hit you? Didn't you even notice that everyone in the yard was practically wrapped up like dumplings?"

Zhang Fan, enraged, pointed inside the door and yelled, "A bunch of useless idiots! Get inside now and untie those guys in the corner! Then keep your eyes peeled and keep a close eye on the woman inside!"

"If she loses even a single hair, I'll hold you all accountable!"

After finishing his rant, Zhang Fan patted his wildly beating chest and walked towards the Institute of Physics without looking back, leaving two bewildered guards standing there in the wind, completely dumbfounded.

Watching Zhang Fan's fleeing figure, Mi Yueyao covered her mouth and chuckled softly in the courtyard.

Gradually, a hint of melancholy involuntarily crept into her once bright and clear eyes.

Mi Yueyao lowered her head, her delicate hands gently stroking her still flat stomach, and let out a long sigh.

This clueless man, though, runs pretty fast.

but……

She turned her head and glanced at the quiet and elegant courtyard, feeling the warm sunlight, and smiled again.

They no longer needed to concern themselves with the vague and unrealistic cause of restoring the country, nor did they need to face the endless schemes and attempts to silence the Xiang family, nor did they need to live in constant fear and anxiety.

Staying in this little courtyard... actually, it's not bad!

……

at the same time.

Inside the Eastern Palace of the Qin Imperial Palace.

"What? Young Master Zhang actually brought back a woman from Shangdang County?"

A sweet cry rang out in the hall.

Princess Ying Yinman, the most favored tenth princess of the Qin Dynasty, was staring wide-eyed at the moment, her face filled with shock and anger as she tightly gripped the sleeve of the eldest prince, Fusu.

Fusu was being pulled around and swayed, his face contorted in a bitter expression, looking utterly distressed.

What kind of mess is this?!

Fu Su cursed Mo Feng, that big mouth, eight hundred times in his heart!

All the way back, she insisted on gossiping with me, discussing the relationship between the beautiful woman the teacher brought and the teacher. Unfortunately, just as we returned to the palace and were chatting, my younger sister overheard us!

Hey!

Now look what's happened, the vinegar jar has been completely overturned!
