The leader of the guards lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him. He was a dark and thin man, with the corners of his eyes drooping downwards, a flattering smile on his face, and his yellowed front teeth.

He had seen the female thief yesterday. She was a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth. She looked nothing like the person in front of him. She looked shabby.

"When did you come to the Hou Mansion?"

Xia Qingyao chuckled and clucked his yellow teeth a little more: "In reply to your words, I have been in the mansion for a few days. Because the prince saw that I can play chess well, he asked me to enter the mansion. The main thing is that I

I am playing chess with the crown prince."

The voice he spoke turned out to be a hoarse drake voice, which was when the young man's voice changed.

The tense body of the guard leader immediately relaxed. Once relaxed, the itch on his body became unbearable again, and he scratched it several times.

"Your Majesty, I have offended many of my subordinates. I hope that Your Majesty will not blame you."

Su Baiyu looked at the appalling honor of the leader of the guards and the tickling posture that he could immediately perform a monkey play without rehearsing, and he didn't want to care about it.

"That's all, you'd better go to the medical clinic and have a look."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The leader of the guards led his guards and left while scratching the itch. When the people were gone, they could still hear their sighs as they scratched the itch.

Su Baiyu looked at the backs of the guards and felt speechless.

"You all go and guard outside. You are not allowed to come in without my instructions."

"Yes." Changxing accepted the order and immediately retreated with the other boys.

Su Baiyu looked at Xia Qingyao with a complicated expression, pointed at his throat for a while and asked: "How did you do this?"

"It's very simple." Su Baiyu replied with the same male duck voice.

Xia Qingyao pricked several acupuncture points on his neck with a silver needle, then went back to take out a porcelain bottle from the medical box, opened it, and took a pill in his mouth.

When he spoke again, his original soft voice had returned: "It's just using acupuncture to temporarily change the tremor of the vocal cords."

If you look carefully, her big yellow teeth have also returned to white.

All of this happened right in front of his eyes, which was an eye-opener.

"No one is as good at juggling as you." Su Baiyu gave a thumbs up.

"Your Majesty, this is incredible!" At this time, Changxing's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"What's wrong? Is there a dog chasing you?" Su Baiyu raised his eyebrows.

Changxing held on to the door frame and breathed heavily, pointed in the direction of the door and said anxiously: "Yes, it's Prince Chen, who has led his people to surround the door of our house!"

As soon as he heard the words Prince Chen, Su Baiyu's brows couldn't help but jump several times.

"That madman...what does he want to do?"

Changxing shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't know. Prince Chen came with his men and surrounded our Marquis Mansion without saying a word. The concierge went to ask why and was slapped back with a big-eared melon seed.

The person in charge went to ask, but only got the word "go away", so he ran in dejectedly to report the news. After hearing the news, the young man immediately came back to you. This Prince Chen kills people with a glare, so why did he target him this time?

Our family is..."

Changxing replied first, but then he started talking to himself.

Xia Qingyao and Liuying looked at each other, feeling a little hopeful.

Murong Zheng was not a reckless and impulsive person, even though his rumored reputation would make people shake their heads. His bad name could even stop a child from crying. But when she recalled the memories from her previous life, she could also see that Murong Zheng was actually a rough man.

There are people who are careful and good at calculation.

If it weren't for the fire and ice that tortured him to madness, his methods would have been even more clever.

However, such a person would actually come to surround the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion because of her?

Xia Qingyao touched the iron certificate of the alchemy book in his arms and murmured in a low voice: "Could it be because of me?"

"He must be embarrassing the girl." Liuying, who was closest to Xia Qingyao, said firmly after hearing this.

Xia Qingyao thought about it and realized: "Well, after all, you still count on my medical skills."

Liuying blinked her eyes, wanting to say that wasn't the case.

But at this moment, there was a servant outside running back to send a message: "Your Majesty, Madam is taking the Second Miss, the Third Miss and the Fourth Young Master to the front door."

Su Baiyu slapped his thigh and frowned: "Why is she joining in the fun? Who does she think she is, and she dares to meet and negotiate with Prince Chen? At this time, she should just stay in the inner house."

Xia Qingyao smiled. Su Zhang has always had such a temperament. Perhaps because she was not from a high family background, she was extremely afraid of letting people know that she was from a low family background. She always wanted to show off her status and power, and she was always trying to gain something for herself.

The higher power justifies the means.

Now, when the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is leaderless, as the wife of the Hou Mansion, she can lead her family to fight against the notorious prince of Prince Chen's Mansion, and spread the word. Wouldn't it make Su Zhang's vanity extremely high?

Great satisfaction?

Su Baiyu gritted his teeth: "That's all, I'll go ahead and take a look."

Xia Qingyao thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, go first. My maid and I will go on our own after changing our clothes."

Su Baiyu didn't answer. He had already rushed out before he finished listening to Xia Qingyao's words.

Xia Qingyao and Liuying combed their hair again, changed into their same clothes, then picked up their medicine boxes and walked out.

The Zhenyuan Hou Mansion was surrounded, and all the guards of the Hou Mansion had gathered in front of the mansion. Most of the maids and women also ran to the front yard to watch the excitement anxiously. Therefore, Xia Qingyao did not encounter any pursuers along the way.

The soldier arrived directly in front of the outer courtyard gate without any obstruction. He found a hidden corner behind the crowd and stood still.

Through the open door of the Hou Mansion, Xia Qingyao saw Murong Zheng, who was wearing a black brocade robe, his black hair tied back casually with a red rope, his face was pale, his thin lips were red, and his brows were filled with anger.

.

No needles were used last night, so Murong Zheng may have been unable to control his toxicity and started to become manic again.

"Go on, don't let me bother you. Call them out and I will take them away immediately." Murong Zheng's low voice was full of irritation.

Su Zhang's blue veil covered her face with panic, and her voice was trembling when she spoke: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean."

Su Yurou on the side also took a step forward and said softly: "His Royal Highness, our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is also a home of nobles. No matter how noble the prince is, he can't bring so many people to surround us. If this is the case,

If the Second Young Master knows that you have done this to me, it will cause misunderstanding among your brothers. Moreover, if this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor, how will the Prince explain it?"

"How to explain it is my prince's business. You don't have to mess around with me to hand over Xia Qingyao!" Murong Zheng's eyes were red, and he looked as frightening as a trapped animal.

When Su Yurou originally looked at Murong Zheng, her eyes were still gentle and shy. When she met his bloodthirsty eyes, she immediately trembled with fear and her voice became a little weaker: "You, what do you want Xia Qingyao to do? We told you earlier.

Yes, she left yesterday. We don’t know where she is.”

"If you don't admit it, then I have to do it myself." Murong Zheng refused to say any more and directly ordered the people behind him, "Go and search for me."

"Yes!" A group of men responded in unison.
