The guard then hastily put on his trousers and explained, "Miss Bai, I had a little wine tonight, so..."

Upon hearing this, Freya pinched her nose in disgust and snapped at the guard, "Is there no toilet in the palace of the Yuan Kingdom? Why did you have to relieve yourself right at the entrance of my courtyard? What kind of behavior is this?"

Scolded by her, the guard was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the ground. "Please calm down, Miss Bai. I just couldn't hold it any longer, so I dealt with it here. I promise it won't happen again!"

Freya didn't originally want to make things difficult for this guard. However, considering her difficult situation at present, if she could have someone to help her, it would be easier to carry out her next plan.

So, she pretended to be aggressive and said, "You are in charge of protecting my safety. Yet you drank alcohol at night and even, without considering my feelings at all, relieved yourself in my territory. I will tell the prince about this and let him punish you personally."

Hearing this, the guard kept begging for mercy, "Miss Bai, please give me another chance!"

Freya was very firm and refused to compromise.

Worried about being punished and losing his job, the guard quickly kowtowed and said, "If Miss Bai is willing to let me off this time, I am willing to do anything for Miss Bai!"

Oh...

He took the bait!

Freya curled the corners of her lips and gave a cold sneer. "Aren't you afraid that if the prince finds out you've sided with me, you'll end up in an even worse situation?"

Upon hearing this, the guard clenched his fists fiercely and said, "I believe that as long as I can help Miss Bai, Miss Bai will keep my secret for me!"

This guard was indeed one of Yuan Xiao's men.

But he harbored hatred towards Yuan Xiao.

Ultimately, it was because of the romantic debts Yuan Xiao had incurred in the past. Yuan Xiao had slept with this guard's woman.

The reason Freya knew about this was that two hours ago, the guard was drinking outside her door. Being drunk, he accidentally revealed this.

By chance, Freya overheard it.

Unexpectedly, she was so lucky to have caught this guard's evidences again, thus naturally making him side with her.

"All right. As long as you're willing to help me, I can let bygones be bygones!" Freya crossed her arms and looked down at the guard coldly. She added, "But you don't have to worry that I'll ask you to do anything dangerous. At most, I'll just ask you to run some errands for me."

After all, since he was one of Yuan Xiao's men, it was definitely right to be more cautious.

Hearing that it was just about running errands, the guard secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"All right, go back to your post!"

Freya pretended to yawn, and after saying that, she turned around and left.

However, she kept glancing around out of the corner of her eye, worried that there were still people watching her.

And with just this glance, she was extremely sensitive to notice some faint rustling sounds coming from a tree not far away, and there was even a malicious gaze directed at her.

She felt as if there were thorns on her back!

Freya squinted her eyes fiercely. It turned out that without her realizing it, she was being monitored!

Damn it!

She had been careless!

Freya didn't look back. Pretending not to have noticed anything, she quickly returned to her room.

As soon as she left, the person hiding in the tree flashed by and, with an eerie speed, came to a courtyard and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

A woman's voice came from inside.

Ye Wu gently pushed the door open and then reported everything that had just happened, "Master, you asked me to monitor Freya's situation. So far, I haven't found any suspicious people."

At this moment, Li Wushuang had just finished taking a shower and came out. She was wearing a sexy violet V-neck nightgown. The fair skin at the collar was still stained with water droplets, which trickled down along her collarbone and fell into the cleavage.

Li Wushuang didn't say anything. Instead, she walked barefoot closer, reached out and gently caressed Ye Wu's handsome and cold face, stroking it back and forth wantonly.

"Then what did she do tonight?"

As Li Wushuang spoke, her hand restlessly moved down until it reached the buttons of Ye Wu's shirt.

Ye Wu tensed his body and let her do as she pleased.

Just as she seduced him, his Adam's apple bobbed several times. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "She stayed in the room all the time and didn't go out. Until half an hour ago, she suddenly came out and severely reprimanded the guard at the door."

"Oh, why did she reprimand the guard?"

Li Wushuang's hand had already unbuttoned two buttons, but she wasn't satisfied and still continued to move down.

Ye Wu's Adam's apple rolled even more frequently. Then he said in a dry voice, "The guard drank alcohol at night and urinated against the corner, which woke Freya up."

As for the other words Freya said, she had spoken in a low voice, so Ye Wu didn't hear them clearly.

Upon hearing this, Li Wushuang directly put her hand on Ye Wu's waist and pinched him unexpectedly.

Ye Wu couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. The next second, he couldn't control himself anymore and hugged Li Wushuang back. His eyes were bloodshot as he said, "Master, we can't do this!"

Li Wushuang ignored his resistance and still pretended to be reserved. She directly dragged him onto the bed and then looked down at him from above.

"Ye Wu, this isn't the first time. You don't have to pretend to be reserved. Moreover, both your person and your heart belong to me. Whenever I want you, you must please me!"

After saying that, Li Wushuang took the initiative to kiss Ye Wu.

This was her most proud subordinate and also the one with the most outstanding appearance among all the members of the Skull Army.

Li Wushuang not only wanted him to obey her but also regarded him as a plaything for her pleasure.

Of course, the more Ye Wu resisted, the more it aroused her interest, making her want to possess him completely.

"Master, I am willing to be your slave!"

In the end, Ye Wu said this in a dazed state.

On this side.

Freya returned to the room and squinted her eyes, thinking about that gaze just now. It was so sharp that it didn't seem to belong to an ordinary person.

Thinking carefully, if Yuan Xiao wanted to monitor her, he didn't have to be so sneaky. After thinking it over, the only person Freya could think of was the queen.

It seemed that she had to be more careful in her actions in the future. Otherwise, if the queen got hold of her evidences, she couldn't guarantee that Yuan Xiao would be able to protect her again and again.

That night, Freya didn't dare to close her eyes. Just because Bradley was also in the palace, she was really worried about his safety. Her heart was always in a state of unease.

However, the second half of the night passed without incident, and Bradley didn't appear.

Freya thought that he must be looking for a suitable opportunity to meet her. And at this moment, she had to be more patient.

...

In contrast to the critical situation here, Gabriel was full of fighting spirit.

In order to regain Lan Xiaoling's trust, Gabriel decided to make contributions to this village.

Early the next morning, led by Yuanman, Gabriel met the old village chief.

Upon hearing that Gabriel was going to help build a school, the village chief was extremely excited.

"There are really not many kind-hearted people like Mr. Lu!"

The village chief was full of gratitude and held Gabriel's hand with tears streaming down his face.

Gabriel had a serious cleanliness habit. At this moment, being held by a stranger like this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Enduring this discomfort, his face looked a bit unpleasant, but he still said some polite words, "You're welcome, Village Chief. I am Lan Xiaoling's husband. Since she can dedicate herself to the education cause of this village, as her husband, I should also do something within my ability!"
