"Mother, I've brought you here." The exquisite voice sounded particularly clear in the silent palace.

"I've met my empress."

"No need to be polite."

Linglong led a woman with her head lowered into the hall. The woman was slender and seemed a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, this is the palace maid who was just transferred from the Queen. Her name is Xiaolian." Linglong reported softly, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in her voice.

The gorgeous figure turned his head slightly, and cast his eyes as sharp as the cold moon at Xiaolian.

Xiaolian's heart trembled suddenly, and she raised her head unconsciously to meet those deep eyes.

"Xiao Lian, I want to ask you, when did you come here to spy on me on behalf of the Queen?" The tone of the gorgeous figure was as calm as water, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

Xiaolian turned pale , knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please understand. Xiaolian does not dare to have the slightest intention of monitoring you. I am only here to serve you as ordered."

" Hey , why should I believe what you said?" The gorgeous figure chuckled, but there was a hint of coldness in her voice. She stood up and slowly walked to Xiaolian, her eyes like a knife, as if to cut open her heart.

Xiaolian's body was shaking uncontrollably.

Shen Nianwan stretched out her slender fingers and gently raised Xiaolian's chin, forcing her to look at him. Those fingers were as cold as ice, which made Xiaolian's heart sink.

"Your eyes tell me that you are hiding something in your heart." The empress' voice was low and full of majesty, "Remember, no lies can be hidden in front of me."

Xiaolian raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and a hint of firmness in her voice, "Your Majesty, I really don't have this slave. I just came to serve you as ordered, and I never had any evil intentions. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, I'm willing to die." Mingzhi."

After she finished speaking, she was about to hit the stone steps next to her. Linglong saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

Shen Nianwan narrowed her eyes slightly and examined Xiaolian. She saw the determination in Xiaolian's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little doubt in her heart.

"That's all, you get up first." Shen Nianwan said lightly, turned around and sat back on the chair.

Xiaolian stood up tremblingly, lowered her head, and did not dare to say anything. Linglong also stepped aside and carefully observed the empress's face.

Shen Nianwan clapped her hands gently, and the silence in the hall was instantly broken. Two palace maids respectfully walked out from behind the screen holding an exquisite jade bowl . The bowl contained wine with a light golden luster. The aroma was overflowing, but it was filled with an indescribable coldness.

Xiaolian looked up, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. The wine shone with an alluring luster under the light, but it seemed to contain endless dangers. Her heartbeat accelerated instantly and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"You're a dirty person when you hit me to death. Just drink it." Shen Nianwan's voice was cold and calm, like the cold wind in winter, piercing people's hearts.

Xiaolian's legs softened and she almost fell to her knees. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to refuse, but she didn't dare. The jade bowl was handed to her, and the aroma of the wine filled her nostrils, but with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Your Majesty, I'm wrong. I can tell you anything!" She suddenly fell to her knees, her voice was crying, and she hugged Shen Nianwan's dress tightly with her hands.

Shen Nianwan lowered his head slightly and looked at the woman trembling under his feet, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes.

She gently raised her hand and pushed Xiaolian away.

"Say it, I will give you this opportunity." Shen Nianwan's voice was still cold.

Every word of Xiaolian seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "Empress, this slave is guilty. It was the Empress who used my family to threaten me, and I can't do anything about it..."

Shen Nianwan frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in her deep eyes. She seemed to be able to see the invisible chains behind Xiaolian, tightly binding her fate.

"Queen?" Shen Nianwan's voice was cold, like an ice pick piercing the air, "She is really good at it. She actually dares to put an informant under my nose."

Xiaolian's body was still trembling, but she tried to raise her head and looked at Shen Nianwan, with determination shining in her eyes. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to swallow all her fears, and then said firmly, "Your Majesty, I will never send any more news to her."

When Shen Nianwan heard this, a sneer appeared on her lips. She walked up to Xiaolian and gently raised her chin, forcing her to look at her. Those deep eyes shone with a cold light, as if they could see through people's souls.

"No, you have to continue passing it on. But now, you are passing on whatever I ask you to pass on." Shen Nianwan's voice was low and full of majesty, and every word was like a cold blade, cutting through Xiaolian's heart. .

"yes."

…

Pearl said to Fugui, "Brother, I will arrange more people tomorrow. After all, there will be no shortage of people since new products are on the market."

The next day, as soon as a faint fish belly white appeared on the sky, there were already people moving on the streets.

Fugui got up early, opened the door and took a look, and was stunned. I saw a crowd of people outside the door, and a long queue stretched from the entrance of the store to the far corner of the street.

The dim light of the morning sun shone on the waiting people, giving them a golden halo. Their faces were full of anticipation and excitement, and they were whispering to each other from time to time, talking about the new products that were about to be launched.

Fugui hurriedly asked the shop assistants to start preparing, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

As the store door slowly opened, a burst of cheerful gong and drum sounds suddenly rang out, making the entire street seem a little more lively. Fugui stood at the door of the store, his face flushed as he announced loudly, "Hello everyone, to celebrate the launch of our new product , we are holding a grand lucky draw today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers.

Fugui nodded with satisfaction and continued to introduce, "Any friends who come into the store to buy new products will have the opportunity to participate in the lucky draw. The third prize winner will receive a sample of our new product, and the second prize winner can enjoy a 50% discount on the purchase of new products!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cheers from the crowd became even louder.

Fugui smiled slightly, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, and looked around. Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, he announced loudly, "As for the first prize..."

He paused, a sly light flashed in his eyes, and his voice became a little higher, "The lucky first prize winner will get our new product for free!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd instantly became excited, with cheers and exclamations coming one after another. Fugui looked at the excited faces of the crowd and couldn't help but smile proudly in his heart.

At this moment, a clear voice rang out from the crowd, "Are you serious? You are not lying to us, are you?"
