The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

What?! Everyone was shocked.

Several jailers went over to take a look.

The wound that Shi Wangxi had been pierced by the pearl hairpin was festering and ulcerating, which was a shocking sight.

Upon hearing that it might be an infectious disease, the jailer quickly stepped back.

Lu Xiao strode forward to check, then frowned and said, "Get a doctor."

"Hurry up and go." The prison boss called out to someone at random.

The jailer came to his senses and ran out quickly.

Ji Shengxian nodded and bowed: "Commander, please go outside and rest. I will clean up here. We can talk about everything after the doctor arrives."

"Bad luck." Lu Xiao turned away.

The jailer followed and left the guards to clean up the mess.

Ji Shengxian took charge: "Brothers are tired after working all night. I can do it alone, you go and rest for a while."

The two jailers looked at each other, said a few polite words and left.

Finally there is no one.

Ji Shengxian took out a pill and said, "If you don't want to die, take the pill. It will keep you alive until dawn."

The three of them pursed their lips and refused to eat.

Ji Shengxian smiled, took off the pill from his chin, swallowed it, and then put it back on.

Crisp and done in one go.

He clapped his hands: "You don't know what's good for you. If you are like this, whoever saves you will be in trouble."

But... Ji Shengxian looked closely at Shi Wangxi's wound. Was it poison? Miss Shangguan was quite cruel.

After taking the medicine, I felt much better.

Shi Wangxi raised his eyes: "Who are you?"

Ji Shengxian crossed his arms and said, "You don't need to know who I am, just know that I will save you. You three people from the underworld, why did you come to the capital for no reason? Look, you have offended someone. You were sent to jail and suffered. Is this enough to teach you a lesson?"

Offend?

Shi Wangxi was confused: "We...didn't do anything, how could we offend anyone?"

"Sometimes, existence itself is an eyesore. Do you think you can walk around the capital with martial arts skills? That's naive. Until now, you still don't know who you have offended." Ji Shengxian shook his head. Even the Demon Cult can't get by in the capital.

I wonder how they would feel if they knew that the mastermind behind this was a weak woman who was powerless.

Even if you can defeat a hundred enemies alone, you cannot defend against attacks from both sides.

People from the underworld should stay in the underworld and avoid going elsewhere.

The Jianghu people are happy to take revenge, how can they understand the way of survival in the capital? If you enter the capital so conspicuously, you will be targeted sooner or later.

"Here he comes, the doctor is here." The jailer dragged the old doctor in.

Ji Shengxian stepped aside. The old doctor was old and was out of breath after running all the way.

The jailer was anxious: "Doctor, please take a look. Is he infected with an infectious disease?"

Contagious disease, if one is discovered, there are countless others lurking. If it is real, the whole city will be under martial law.

The old doctor took a deep breath and went forward with his medicine box to check. Shi Wangxi's wound began to ooze pus and emit a foul smell.

The jailer covered his mouth and nose in fear and ran out. The old doctor opened the medicine box and took out a piece of wood to squeeze the wound.

"Hiss." Shi Wangxi felt pain and his face turned pale.

The old doctor remained calm and looked at the injuries of the other two people.

He finally concluded: "It's not an infectious disease. It's a poison. It's not serious..."

Junior sister was shocked: "Poison? Senior brother, I told you that woman can't be trusted."

"I should have rushed out earlier instead of being trapped in prison."

Ji Shengxian interrupted their complaints without any hesitation: "Under the feet of the emperor, in the imperial city, in the official residence, where can you escape to? It is normal to be caught. Doctor, can you please tell the commander that this is a disease. But it is not a contagious disease."

After these words were spoken, the two men fell silent.

The old doctor narrowed his eyes: "You are..."

"I'm just an insignificant jailer." Ji Shengxian smiled. "The doctor has lived to such an old age, he should understand the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble. Ordinary people don't understand poison or something like that. Ordinary people don't understand diseases. Or is it easier to understand? Don't you think so?"

"I know what to say." The old doctor put away the medicine box and went out.

Ji Shengxian followed while waving his hand: "Hold on, wait for me to rescue you."

The old doctor replied to the commander: "The prisoner is sick, but it is not contagious. If he is not treated in time, his condition will become more and more serious..."

Lu Xiao raised his hand to interrupt: "It's fine as long as it's not an infectious disease. He deserved to die anyway, there's no need to waste the medicine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, it’s not an infectious disease.

The old doctor said nothing when he saw this, and left with his medicine box. At his age, he understood the importance of keeping a low profile better than anyone else.

Lu Xiao sat behind the desk and said, "Why are you just standing there? Continue to torture them. If you don't believe me, they won't tell you."

"Yes." The jailer rolled up his sleeves and went back to work.

Those three guys were really tough and didn't even shout.

The night passed slowly.

It was daybreak and the leaves were covered with dew.

Xie Qiuguang got up early and ran to Shangguan Mansion happily.

Shangguan Haitong got up early because he had something on his mind.

She heard the maid's message and said helplessly, "Let him in."

After a while, Xie Qiuguang came into the room.

He sat quietly at the table, watching Shangguan Haitong wash up.

The maid brought out the water.

Shangguan Haitong sat down in front of the dressing table. Huanshuang picked up the wooden comb and combed her master's hair.

Xie Qiuguang walked in involuntarily and stood by, staring at the scene in a daze.

Huan Shuang joked, "Your Majesty, you came to visit me so early in the morning just to see my daughter dressing up?"

Xie Qiuguang came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly: "I am here to plead for the three people in prison. We have already found out that they are members of the Demon Cult. They came to the capital to look for the token. If they have offended Haitong in any way, please show mercy."

"The Demon Cult?" Shangguan Haitong looked back, "It seems that their identities are not simple. May I trouble Your Majesty to come and plead for mercy."

Xie Qiuguang explained with a smile: "The reason why the token is in my hand is because my mother has a good friend who is from the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult is in turmoil now, and only those who have the token can win the support of the people. I want them to take the token back to suppress the cult, so as to avoid a bloody storm."

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "If the prince is willing to help me comb my hair today, I will spare them."

"really?"

"really."

Xie Qiuguang stretched out his hand: "Give me the comb. I will comb Haitong's hair today."

Huan Shuang looked very doubtful: "My Lord, can you do it?"

"Of course. My mother taught me that." Xie Qiuguang swore. Although she only taught me that when I was a child.

Shangguan Haitong winked: "Give it to him. I want to see the prince's craftsmanship."

Xie Qiuguang asked for it with a proud look on his face.

Huanshuang handed it over unhappily: "Here you go. If you don't comb it well, don't blame me for laughing at you."

Shangguan Haitong covered her lips and chuckled.

Xie Qiuguang took the comb and held the black hair in one hand. He combed the hair gently, as if he was afraid of breaking it with a little force.

Xie Qiuguang did not brag and he combed his hair into a bun in a very professional manner.

Shangguan Haitong exclaimed: "I didn't expect the prince to have this trick. It's really a mistake."

"It's too late to regret now." Xie Qiuguang combed her hair and chose jewelry. "Which one should I wear?"

Huan Shuang went forward and found it: "The girl is wearing a blue dress today, so match it with this set of sapphires."

Xie Qiuguang saw that the gemstone was dark in color, and said as he inserted it into her hair: "I'll send you a better set tomorrow."

"If you want to give it to me, then give it to me." Shangguan Haitong did not refuse. As for whether she would wear it or not, that is another matter.
