The prince's personal bodyguard

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wu Li lying on the ground, holding his chest.

"Wu Li, what's going on?" Pingyang Hou was closest to him. He walked up to his son and helped him up to check him up and down.

Bai Xinyin looked around first. There were many people in the house and everyone was in a panic, not knowing what had happened.

"Everyone, don't move. Master Wu Li has been injured by a hidden weapon."

"what?"

"To commit a crime in broad daylight, the murderer is too bold, isn't he?"

"Don't move, everyone is a suspect!" Minister Bu shouted.

Three silver needles were inserted into Wu Li's left chest. He twisted his body in pain and foamed at the mouth.

The needles are poisonous.

The poisonous silver needle would not insert itself into Wu Li's chest. There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating all this.

Bai Xinyin's heart sank. She knew that these three silver needles must be used to silence people, but why did they want to kill Wu Li?

Thinking about it, he took out an antidote pill from his sleeve and put it into his mouth, and asked Pingyang Hou to get some water and give it to him.

She looked around and realized that the silver needle couldn't have been shot in from the outside, because there were so many people in the house, and it was impossible to shoot such a precise silver needle around so many people. The roof couldn't have been shot in either, because the roof wasn't damaged, and there wasn't any sign that anyone had stayed there.

Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this? Is there something else in the Bu or Huangfu families that is worth coveting?

Everyone was listening to Zhao Qing's words and no one noticed Wu Li. The person closest to him was his father, Marquis Pingyang, followed by Madam Huangfu and Madam Bu.

Bai Xinyin's eyes swept over them one by one. Pingyang Hou was Wu Li's father, so it was unlikely that he would hurt him.

Mrs. Bu looked so weak that it seemed impossible for her to do it.

It seems that Madam Huangfu is the most suspicious. To be able to shoot these silver needles, she must have extremely high martial arts skills. Could it be that Madam Huangfu is hiding her skills?

But why did she want to kill Wu Li to silence him? Bu Shiren also knew who the father of the child was? If she wanted to silence him for this reason, then Bu Shiren should have been killed.

The child in Huangfu Yun's belly was Wu Li's, she couldn't possibly not know about it. Why did she want to kill Wu Li?

Bai Xinyin's heart was full of doubts.

Wu Li's breathing became weaker and weaker, and his face became paler and paler. Bai Xinyin took out her silver needle and gently pierced Wu Li's chest, and then pierced several other acupuncture points. Wu Li's body trembled violently, and then he fainted.

"My lord, this..." Marquis Pingyang looked at Bai Xinyin in confusion.

"It's okay, he just fainted temporarily." Bai Xinyin suppressed her doubts and decided to wake Wu Li up first. If she was not here today, Wu Li would definitely die.

She had to find this person as soon as possible, otherwise Wu Li would be in danger, and it would be difficult to find the person behind it. She had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple.

"Ali was injured in your house, you are responsible for his treatment!" The Marquis of Pingyang reacted quickly and grabbed Minister Bu's arm.

It's not that he wants to blame others, he is the Marquis of Pingyang now, he has no money, so he has to blame Minister Bu, if he can cure his son, he'd better not pay, if he can't, he has to ask Minister Bu to compensate him.

Minister Bu was about to speak.

"You still want to blame my father. The child in Huangfu Yun's belly is your son's. He teamed up with Huangfu Yun to kill me. I haven't settled the score with your Pingyang Marquis Mansion yet, and you're coming to us. Bah!" Bu Shiren got excited for some reason.

"Ah?" The crowd had not yet dispersed, and they were shocked again when they heard this.

"You, you are slandering me. Are you afraid that I will blackmail you? And you are biting back!" Pingyang Hou was filled with righteous indignation.

"Whether you are slandering me or not, just ask Huangfu Yun and you will know. Your son knows the good things he has done! He is a beast in human form. He has been following me for so many years, eating and drinking from me, but now he comes to harm me. He is worse than a beast!"

"You..." Pingyang Hou seemed a little guilty and was speechless after being refuted.

"Okay, I won't charge you for treating your son today, it's free!" Bai Xinyin interrupted him. At this time, he was still thinking about money. No wonder the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was gradually falling into decline.

At this moment, Shangguan Qing, the Minister of Dali Temple, arrived.

Bai Xinyin secretly took a look at Shangguan Qing: he was in his thirties, strong and upright, with a slightly dark complexion, handsome and majestic. His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts, his eyebrows revealed a sense of integrity, and his behavior revealed a sense of majesty and confidence.

His clothes were plain and simple, and it was obvious that he was an honest official.

After a brief understanding of the current situation.

"In order to cooperate with the investigation, everyone present please follow me to the Dali Temple and cooperate with the trial." Shangguan glanced at everyone, his expression majestic and unquestionable.

Since Wu Li hasn't woken up yet, everyone is a suspect, so it's normal to follow him to the Dali Temple to record his statement.

They all followed him to the Dali Temple, and the room was suddenly empty. Wu Li was also carried to the Dali Temple on a stretcher, saying that he needed to be protected first for the investigation.

Unexpectedly, the Dali Temple handled the case very efficiently, with everyone taking responsibility for their own duties. Half an hour later, except for Huangfu Yun who was detained awaiting trial and Wu Li who was under custody, the rest of the people were released.

Looking at the sun, it was almost noon. After a busy morning, Bai Xinyin said goodbye to Minister Bu, and everyone went to Tianyi Pavilion for lunch.

On the way, Zhao Qing told Bai Xinyin why she went to Minister Bu's house. It turned out that Mu Yunxiao arranged for her to go.

Bai Xinyin couldn't help feeling a little warm in her heart. It felt so good to be cared for all the time.

After dinner, Bai Xinyin and Zhao Qing lay on the window platform of the private room to rest, looking out through the window and chatting.

Since it was the last day of the Qianqiu Festival, the items at the market were cheaper than before, and there were more buyers and sellers than in the first two days, so the streets were very busy.

"Hey, Ayin, do you want to watch the pot-throwing competition this afternoon?" Zhao Qing asked.

"Are you inviting me? Is there any benefit?" Since they were from the same world, Bai Xinyin didn't bother to be polite with her.

"Oh my, I, a princess, have lowered myself to call you, and you still question me?" Zhao Qing pouted, "Father has reserved the best seat for me, how about we take it together?"

"Oh, by the way, when will you change back into men's clothes? I'll take you to my place. If the emperor thinks I'm interested in you, he'll hold a banquet tonight and grant us both honor. Hahaha..." Zhao Qing joked.

"Then just marry me. Anyway, I'm handsome, as good-looking as Pan An. I'll be happy looking at me every day even if I don't eat meat." Bai Xinyin acted narcissistically.

"Forget about it. I'm Zhao Qing, a woman who likes men. I don't have any special fetishes. Ah!" Zhao Qing laughed.

"Hey, tell me, among these sons of princes and ministers, which one should I choose to marry? I can't go back for the time being, so I have to find a place to live with, right?" Zhao Qing said this with a bit of melancholy.

"Do you have someone in mind?" Bai Xinyin asked.

"No, I feel a bit out of place here. My idol in my previous life was A Zhan, and I don't see anyone like him now."

"Then observe and see if you like one first."

"Then can I like your Prince Rong? Hahaha..." Zhao Qing teased.

"Sure? As long as you have the ability to get him, I'll give him to you with both hands, hahaha..." Bai Xinyin also laughed.

Unexpectedly, when the people outside heard it, their faces turned pale.

"Really? So generous?"

"Ah."

The door of the private room creaked open, and a figure flashed by. Mu Yunxiao had walked to the window with a gloomy face, which scared the two of them.

A cold look came towards Zhao Qing, and Zhao Qing felt himself shudder with fear.

"Ah Si, say what you just said again!" The voice was not loud and seemed very gentle, but Zhao Qing heard the danger and jumped off the windowsill.

"I'll wait for you outside!" Damn, a grown man learning to eavesdrop? A friend dies rather than a poor Taoist. Zhao Qing turned and slipped out of the private room, patting the sweat on his forehead. "This aura, is it a living devil? If I had come out a few seconds later, I might have died in there. It scared the baby to death!"
