"You mean, you just targeted me because you heard someone greeting 'Miss Third'?"

"Yes." Dulanzhi nodded.

Xia Qingyao's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and her mind turned over and over again: "Although my home is not big, there is a nursing home. How did you come here?"

Du Lanzhi recalled what she had just experienced: "I climbed over the wall to get in. When I encountered a patrol, I walked in the opposite direction and ended up here unknowingly."

Xia Qingyao felt as if his heart and liver were being fried on the fire, and his eyes were beating with anger.

Could it be that Xia Ziming suddenly had a whim and asked her to go to the study room and talked nonsense to lure her out?

She must find proof!

To verify, the gangsters who beat up Dulanzhi are the key, I'm afraid they have already hidden themselves.

But Dulanzhi was innocent when his property was taken away.

She would step on it if the road was unfair, not to mention that the person who did it was Xia Ziming?

"I understand everything you said, but I did not do this. Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice. How much property he has swallowed from you, I will let him spit it out intact!" Xia Qingyao's words

It's loud and clear.

Du Lanzhi smiled bitterly: "Can I say no? I'm injured now. Maybe there are people of yours around here? As long as you shout, I won't be able to run away. I will be killed by a wealthy family like you."

Silence me, I don't even have a place to reason."

"Shouldn't I be afraid of you now? You see how tall you are, you can kill me with one fist, right? If I call for someone to come, you will beat me to death before they arrive.

"

Xia Qingyao pretended to be scared and even trembled.

Du Lanzhi was amused: "That's all, I'm desperate now, so I just believe you this time."

Xia Qingyao nodded, as long as Du Lanzhi still had sense and seemed to want his property back. If Du Lanzhi went crazy and wanted revenge, she would not care about his grievances and could only call someone.

Xia Qingyao asked Du Lanzhi to wait in the shadow in front of his west courtyard door, then entered the room and whispered to Liu Ying:

"Use some money to negotiate with Jiaomen to let him go. Send him to Brother Chen Yin first, and ask Brother Chen Yin to take care of him for me for two days."

"yes."

"Remember to use my carriage. If you encounter people from the Five Cities Army and Horses Division blocking the way, you might as well use the flag of Prince Chen's Palace."

"My slave understands." Liuying nodded.

Liuying followed the instructions and went out, and Xia Qingyao asked Jialiu and Yuegui to help her wash up.

The two maids looked at each other, and Yue Gui smiled and said, "It's so late, what did the young lady tell Liu Ying to do?"

Realizing that he was asking too directly, he quickly added.

"You can give any instructions to your slaves if you have any orders. Sister Liuying has served you the longest and knows your temper best. You can ask your slaves to do some errands. It would be better for Sister Liuying to stay with you as long as possible."

"I thought of something temporarily and asked her to do it."

Xia Qingyao looked meaningfully at Yue Gui and Jia Liu in the bronze mirror: "You two were given to me by the princess, so naturally they are more valuable than those given by the prince. I can't bear to ask you to do some small things."

Yue Gui opened her mouth and said stiffly: "Miss, you are speaking harshly."

Jia Liu also lowered his eyes in recognition, his posture becoming more and more respectful.

Xia Qingyao didn't say anything bad about them, but everything he said was a slap in the face.

Although they are Princess Chen's people, they are all servants. Their future fate still depends on Xia Qingyao.

Very alert.

You should be more cautious in your future actions.

Xia Qingyao didn't leave Jia Liu and Yue Gui to stay at night. When Liu Ying came back at midnight, he directly left her in the bedroom.

That night, Xia Qingyao did not sleep soundly. Her mind was filled with what she had experienced in her previous life and what the Xia family had done in this life.

When they arrived at the palace the next day, even Princess Chen noticed that she looked bad, so she had to give her a few words of advice. After all, Xia Qingyao had taken leave due to physical discomfort and could not come to treat the princess.

The setting sun shines on the smooth corridor under the corridor, casting the sunlight on the snow-white window walls, and Xia Qingyao's face is half hidden in the shadows.

Standing in front of the door of Trillium Residence, Xia Qingyao hesitated a little.

The boy on duty at the door recognized Xia Qingyao, and immediately came forward to salute politely: "I have seen Xia Yuanjing."

"Excuse me, is your prince at home?"

"Here you are, please wait a moment. I'll get back to you immediately."

Xia Qingyao nodded slightly and stood in front of the door with Liuying, who was carrying the medical box, looking leisurely at the sunset on the horizon.

Just a moment later, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind.

Xia Qingyao turned back expressionlessly, only to see a tall and thin figure wearing a black brocade robe with arrow sleeves and a narrow waist tied with a palm-wide cowhide belt walking quickly.

Under the setting sun, Murong Zheng's fair and handsome face was covered with a light blush, and his usual coldness and chill were gone, and he looked warm.

"Your Majesty." Xia Qingyao bowed, "Why did you come out in person?"

Murong Zheng paused slightly and looked Xia Qingyao up and down with his slanted eyes: "I heard that you don't look well, is there something wrong?"

Listening to his deep voice, Xia Qingyao's original hesitation was gone, and she nodded and said, "I have something I want to ask of you."

"Oh?" Murong Zheng crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, his thin red lips curled up, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Tell me what it is."

Xia Qingyao walked up to Murong Zheng and looked up at him. Her height was only as high as his chin, so she had no choice but to wave at him.

Seeing her mysterious appearance and waving like a kitten, Murong Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, okay." He slightly bent down to accommodate her height.

Xia Qingyao leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.

Murong Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What's the significance of this?" Without waiting for Xia Qingyao's reply, he added, "It's easy, I'll help you."

Xia Qingyao nodded, maybe seeing an old friend with whom he had a close relationship in his previous life, he couldn't hold back his emotions, and there was a little sadness in his eyebrows.

Murong Zheng frowned and glanced sideways, and the accompanying guards and chamberlain immediately stepped back.

Before Xia Qingyao could react, Murong Zheng grabbed her wrist and walked towards the pleasant small garden of Trillium Residence.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Xia Qingyao was surprised.

Murong Zheng was tall and had long legs. Xia Qingyao took one step and had to jog two steps to keep up. When he arrived at the white stone pavilion in the small garden, Xia Qingyao was so tired that he gasped.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me," Murong Zheng paused for a moment and then added, "You can speak with confidence here without fear of being overheard."

Xia Qingyao nodded, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and slumped his shoulders for a moment.

"Something happened that made me feel like it was a joke that I worked so hard to negotiate terms with the princess and rescue the Xia family..."

Xia Qingyao couldn't tell about the past and present life, nor could he tell about the identity swap, but he gave a general summary of the matter.

Murong Zheng's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and the circles under his eyes began to turn red again. He looked evil and arrogant: "Damn old thief, I'll kill him for you!"
