The Third Prince was assassinated and was in critical condition. He was accompanied by several imperial doctors and rushed back at full speed.

The prince sat in the carriage, feeling uneasy.

Wei Xiangming got into the carriage and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, tell me the truth, did you do this?"

The prince looked at him guiltily and nodded slightly.

Wei Xiangming gritted his teeth, "You really are! The Queen and I have warned you many times not to do these meaningless things. You just need to do what you should do, and leave the rest to your grandfather and me. Why don't you listen!"

"Uncle, he was the one who provoked me several times..."

"He deliberately let you take action so that he could catch you. How could you still be fooled!"

Wei Xiangming only felt a dull pain in his chest.

If his sister had not given birth to only this one prince, how could his Wei family have supported such a brave but foolish person!

"Uncle, don't worry. The people I arranged are all assassins. They are all dead and there is no evidence."

"I hope so! If you have any plans in the future, please discuss them with me in advance."

"Uncle, do you think we can take his life right now?"

"Your Highness, please don't cause any more trouble."

The prince was dissatisfied.

My uncle is just too timid and doesn't have any of my grandfather's heroic spirit.

His grandfather was the God of War of Dongling. Even if he made a mistake, his father would not dare to touch him as long as his grandfather was there.

……

It was already the beginning of the You hour when the group returned to the capital. Cheng Jiuyuan took the two maids back to her own courtyard.

"The bed at home is still more comfortable!" Cheng Jiuyuan sighed.

"Miss, you have worked hard these days. I will prepare the bath soup now. Miss, take a good bath and have a good sleep." Chun Xing was very happy to see her come back, and went to prepare the bath soup after she said that.

Soon, the bath water was ready, and Hibiscus and Isatis served her to bathe.

"I just heard that the master was summoned to the palace. It's almost dark..."

Cheng Jiuyuan leaned against the bathtub and sighed comfortably.

"The prince has been assassinated. The court will be busy now."

"You've been tired for a few days, go and rest, we'll come back to clean up tomorrow."

Cheng Jiuyuan's long, wet, black hair was spread out behind her, and her snow-white back was faintly visible, with an alluring luster.

He didn't even dare to look at the two maids any longer, and left the room with his eyes lowered.

Cheng Jiuyuan closed her eyes and leaned against the bathtub, enjoying the tranquility and relaxation of the moment.

After his fatigue was gone, Cheng Jiuyuan stood up.

She was wearing loose and soft goose yellow pajamas. She used a towel to dry her long hair. The slightly moist hair was draped over her shoulders and the ends of her hair hung around her slender waist. The whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.

She read the book for a while, thought about it, found her nightgown and put it on, casually tied her hair into a bun, covered her face with a veil, and left the room.

Wuyingtang is located in the north of the city.

There is an inconspicuous porcelain shop on the ground level, but underneath is Dongling’s famous underworld gang.

As the dark room opened, I walked through the narrow and dim tunnel. After a stick of incense, I suddenly felt enlightened.

"Oh! A rare guest." He Chen, the head of Wuying Hall, sat on a high seat. His black clothes made him look righteous and elegant. He looked at Cheng Jiuyuan silently.

"I have long heard of Master He's great name. Master He has helped me so much, but I have yet to thank him in person..."

He Chen raised his hand: "Don't come on, you didn't come here to thank me today, you came to see that pretty boy."

"...Master He always speaks so directly? How can anyone respond to him?"

He Chen stood up, walked down the stairs, and walked around Cheng Jiuyuan.

Is this the legendary sickly person in the Prime Minister’s Mansion?

His Shadowless Hall has spies all over Dongling, so it is easy for him to find out a person's identity.

When the Wuyingtang token reappeared, he became curious.

After checking, I became even more curious.

Cheng Jiuyuan calmly let him look at her, "Take me to see him."

He Chen turned around: "Come on."

The dark prison is a place full of despair and fear.

Especially in the dark cell of Wuying Hall, there is no sunlight or air, only endless darkness and dampness.

The walls were covered with rusty chains and torture instruments, giving off a pungent stench, and the ground was covered with blood and dirt, making one shudder.

He Chen discovered that the rich young lady not only did not show any fear, but her pair of almond-shaped eyes were full of excitement.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked around the secret cell of Wuyingtang. Simply killing people was too boring. Locking people in here and feeling hopeless with no one to turn to for help was despair.

"Master He, can you lend me this secret cell for use in the future?"

He Chen was shocked. She was indeed planning to take over his secret cell.

"How do you want to use it?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I just want to send a few people in..."

"Do you think this place is a place where anyone can be sent here?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression on your face? Are you calling me stingy?"

"……No."

Following He Chen, we twisted around and arrived at the last room of the dungeon.

The cell door opened and Cheng Jiuyuan went in, covering her nose.

When Cheng Jiuyuan saw the bloody man tied to the wooden frame in the cell, his eyes widened.

"Master He, you are too cruel."

"Didn't you say that we just need to hold our breath?"

Cheng Jiuyuan coughed lightly.

Hearing the sound, the man on the wooden stake slowly woke up.

When he saw who was in the room clearly, Jiang Xiubai raised his lips uninhibitedly: "Second Miss Cheng, long time no see."

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes curved slightly: "Not long ago, only three or four days. How did you recognize me?"

"The girl's eyes are unforgettable. I wish I could dig them out and wear them with me to admire them every day."

Cheng Jiuyuan circled around the wooden stake and said, "Tsk tsk, it seems that Master Jiang hasn't been doing well these past few days."

"Not bad, I won't die." Jiang Xiubai raised the corners of his mouth and spoke in a casual tone, as if he was chatting with a friend at ease.

He Chen approached Cheng Jiuyuan, "Are you really enemies?"

If you don’t know, you might think they are lovers.

Cheng Jiuyuan spread his hands: "I don't regard him as an enemy, it was Master Jiang who provoked me."

"You didn't treat him as an enemy and sent him to me?"

Cheng Jiuyuan raised his hand, and the soft sword at his waist flew straight towards Jiang Xiubai.

Jiang Xiubai opened his eyes wide: "Fuck!"

The imagined scene did not happen. The iron chain that bound Jiang Xiubai was easily cut off by the soft sword and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Jiang Xiubai also fell to the ground. He looked up at Cheng Jiuyuan in confusion.

He Chen looked at Duan Sheng, who had returned to Cheng Jiuyuan's waist as a decoration, with burning eyes: "What a good sword!"

Jiang Xiubai showed a bloodthirsty smile: "Miss Cheng, if you have any other tricks, feel free to use them."

Cheng Jiuyuan squatted down and said seriously: "I said, I don't want to be your enemy. Wei Xiangming is very wary. If you go back intact, he will definitely not trust you again."

She suddenly came closer, and a pleasant fragrance came faintly.

Jiang Xiubai was stunned, with some surprise in his eyes: "You want to let me go?"

"What? You still want to stay here? I don't keep idle people." Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him with a smile.

Jiang Xiubai felt that the eyes of the woman in front of him were the most special he had ever seen. They looked very innocent, but upon closer inspection, they were cruel.

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up, turned around and looked at He Chen: "Let him go."

After that, he walked out.

"Hey! What do you think my Shadowless Hall is? You can come and go as you please..."

Cheng Jiuyuan turned a deaf ear and walked out.

Jiang Xiubai is a rebellious man, and ordinary means cannot be used to make him surrender.

Money, beauty, coercion and inducement will only backfire.

Attacking the city is inferior, attacking the heart is superior. What she wants is his willing submission.
