I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Dugu Aoyun looked around cautiously, his face full of vigilance.

"Someone just attacked me. His strength is far superior to mine. But this person hid in the dark and I couldn't find his whereabouts at all!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Linglong immediately began to feel it.

But she, like Dugu Aoyun, didn't notice anything.

The moment she turned her head, a figure appeared beside her.

She looked carefully and found that it was Lu Yuan, and jumped up excitedly.

"Brother-in-law, it's you, why are you here!"

Lu Yuan nodded and explained.

"I figured out that you were in some trouble, so I decided to come and help you. But why is he here?"

Realizing that he was talking about Dugu Aoyun, Jiang Linglong explained.

"The White Emperor sent him to protect me."

Her voice was a little low, with a hint of embarrassment.

Lu Yuan frowned in confusion and asked in confusion.

"Why would Baidi let him protect you?"

The moment he asked the question, he thought of what Baidi had said to him that day, and had some guesses in his mind.

"Does he have any feelings for you?"

Seeing that Lu Yuan had already guessed it, Jiang Linglong nodded and admitted it.

"That's right. He came here once before and said he wanted me to be his woman. I thought he was crazy and ignored him. But I didn't expect that he would let Dugu Aoyun come. I thought that King Yan was about to make some small moves, so I wanted him to stay by my side. It would also be a kind of strength!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully and responded.

"You have a good idea. It is indeed a good idea."

Then, he looked at Dugu Aoyun again.

"You should know whether what I said to you before is true or not?"

Dugu Aoyun lowered his head and responded.

"Thanks to Lord Lu, I now know the true purpose of the White Emperor. Naturally, I will no longer work for him sincerely. However, I am now controlled by others. I have to do what he asks me to do. Coming here is also a temporary escape."

Seeing that he said so, Lu Yuan nodded and his eyes fell on Jiang Linglong.

"There are some things that we can talk about later. I know your three sisters are back. I'll go meet them. You can take care of your things first."

In the study, Tan Tai Xi and Murong Jiu were writing poems, while Jiang Qingli was painting, and the person in the painting was Lu Yuan.

The three of them had already heard from Jiang Linglong that Lu Yuan had returned, but he did not come to see them, so they felt a little disappointed.

"My husband hasn't come to see us for such a long time, he won't forget us!"

Just when Murong Jiu said this in annoyance, a voice sounded at the door.

"How could that be? I'm here to see the three ladies, aren't I?"

The moment they heard the voice, the three of them looked towards the door.

When they saw it was Lu Yuan, they put down their brushes and ran towards him excitedly.

The three of them surrounded Lu Yuan and hugged him tightly.

"Husband, you are here!"

"I thought you forgot about us. Now that you're here, why don't you come and see us?"

Seeing them acting like spoiled brats, Lu Yuan explained, "Last time I came, I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to see you. This time I will stay here for a while longer, so I can be with you for a while!"

Hearing him say this, the three were very excited.

Jiang Linglong looked at the frightened Dugu Aoyun and said with a smile.

"He's my brother-in-law. You don't have to be so stunned. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

He nodded, but was still a little worried.

"I'm afraid that once Baidi comes and sees me and Lu getting along harmoniously, I don't know how he will react. He might even attack me. It's possible."

Seeing that he looked worried, Jiang Linglong comforted him.

"You have nothing to be afraid of. I am here with you. I will speak for you. Even if Baidi really wants to attack you, with my brother-in-law here, what can he do?"

After hearing what she said, Dugu Aoyun thought about it carefully and felt that there was some truth in it.

I was always by Jiang Linglong's side, and Lu Yuan was Jiang Linglong's brother-in-law, so it was inevitable that they would meet.

At that time, you just need to tell the truth and you don’t need to worry about anything else.

Thinking of this, Dugu Aoyun didn't continue to worry about it.

In comparison, he was just a nobody and had nothing to worry about.

Besides, Baidi arranged for him to come here, so he must have known that he would meet Lu Yuan here.

When we had dinner in the evening, everyone gathered together and it was quite lively.

During the meal, Lu Yuan also expressed his thoughts.

"Since King Yan is ready to make a move, why not give him a chance and let him think that his chance has come. He will definitely be eager to do so. In this way, we can solve this problem as soon as possible!"

After hearing his words, Jiang Linglong nodded in agreement.

"I want to do the same, but King Yan is a cautious person. I'm afraid he won't act so easily. If there is no guarantee that everything will go smoothly, he will definitely lie dormant!"

Lu Yuan had already thought about this.

“If there is no opportunity, you can create one.”

Lu Yuan did not directly say what to do.

There are many people here, and if there are spies from King Yan, we will definitely fail.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan did not reveal it.

Instead, in the evening, Lu Yuan and Jiang Linglong discussed their ideas in the study.

"You have to take the initiative to create an opportunity now, so that King Yan will think there is an opportunity. Only in this way will he be impatient to take action. The best way is if something happens to you."

"For example, you may have a serious illness!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Linglong reacted instantly.

Once she becomes seriously ill, all aspects of the situation will be affected, and King Yan will definitely take action at this time, believing that she will be unable to resist.

While agreeing, Jiang Linglong was still a little worried.

"But if I'm seriously ill, there's still no way I can escape the eyes of the imperial physician. Maybe King Yan will also send someone to treat me. Wouldn't I be exposed then?"

Lu Yuan had already thought of the specific method. He took out a pill and handed it to Jiang Linglong.

"This is easy. You just need to eat this. After it enters your stomach, your body will be fine, but your pulse will be very chaotic and your face will be extremely pale, as if you are seriously ill."

"But you can rest assured that this will only last for a short period of time. Once the Flame King takes action, you won't have to pretend anymore!"

Now, what they have to do is to lure the snake out of its hole! (End of this chapter)
