Before she even got close, Xi Mengyao could already smell a very pungent smell.

She instantly understood what it was and quickly turned her head away. Her hand was still holding onto the blade as she waited for the right moment to make her move.

At the same time, she bit down on the tip of her tongue to remind herself not to faint.

Fourth Sister seemed to be very confident as she held the bottle closer and closer to her.

The trainee Xi Mengyao did not move. She only thought that she might already be unable to resist.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but sneer, "I thought that Crown Princess Jing would be of little use, she's still just a piece of trash!"

Saying that, she raised her hand to pour the contents of the bottle onto Xi Mengyao's face!

And just as she made her move, Xi Mengyao actually jumped up high, with a wave of her hand, she slashed fiercely at her wrist!

"Ah — —" Fourth Sister let out a pitiful cry, as her blood sprayed all over Xi Mengyao's face!

At this time, Xi Mengyao turned to the side and retreated. She then kicked the person right in the stomach, sending her flying a few metres.

Seeing that the person was unable to get up, Xi Mengyao gritted her teeth and spat out blood: "Don't think that I will be manipulated like that!"

The Fourth Sister-in-Law's hand was sent flying. At this moment, she was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak.

When the others saw this, they were also stunned and no longer moved.

Not expecting Xi Mengyao to move so quickly, she immediately tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt and picked up the bottle that the woman flung away, turning around and throwing it at the black-robed man's body.

Upon seeing this, they immediately screamed and retreated, as if they were trying to avoid something.

Even so, the liquid still splashed onto their bodies!

At this moment, she saw several large holes suddenly appear on their robes, as if they had been burnt by something.

It really was sulfuric acid.

While she was thinking, she picked up everything she had and threw it over.

At this time, Xi Mengyao did not know if she could chase them away completely, she could only try her best to push them a little further.

However, despite her strength, the effect was still very small.

Her own strength was smaller than these people's, and there were very few things in the room. Even if she piled everything at the door, it wouldn't stop her.

Furthermore, the spirits of these people were much better than hers.

After that group of people retreated two steps before they reached a thousand again, Xi Mengyao could only clench her teeth and retreat a few more steps as well.

Unexpectedly, while she was retreating and advancing, her chest suddenly felt stuffy. She could not help but cough out a mouthful of blood!

Blood gushed out from her mouth and nose at the same time. She felt as if her entire head had been pierced by thousands of needles; it was extremely uncomfortable.

She covered her nose, but there was no way to stop the bleeding. She felt her vision grow more and more blurry and she was about to faint. But at this moment, a hole appeared in one of the windows!

There was a "peng" sound. She didn't even have time to look when she saw a person suddenly jump in and run towards her.

Subconsciously, she raised her hand to block, but at this moment, she no longer had the strength to do so.

However, that person grabbed her hand and tightly hugged her to his chest, as if he wanted to crush her. It was so stifling that she almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Alright, don't move! Our people are coming over, take a good rest. "

It was Song Chongjing.

After realising this, the corners of Xi Mengyao's lips curled up slightly, and she finally fainted with relief.

Seeing her like that, Song Chongjing's heart was disturbed. He placed her on the bed beside him, and then coldly swept his eyes over the people in the room: "Anyone who dares to hurt me will have to pay the price!"

When Xi Mengyao woke up, she was shocked to find that it was already late. She only saw the dim lights in the room and felt uneasy.

Only after she sat up did Yu Han wake up. She sighed to the side and quickly supported her, saying, "Esteemed wangfei, don't be reckless anymore. It's not easy to come back now, you have to take care of your health."

"You can't blame me for not telling you that this is the most dangerous time of the year." "But I also didn't expect that it would be written like this …"

Hearing Yu Han's voice, Xi Mengyao was still in a daze. After recuperating for a while, she realized that she had already returned to the Duke Palace.

She paused for a moment before remembering the reason.

She coughed and tried to speak, but found her throat too dry.

At this time, Yu Han poured a cup of water and handed it over. Without saying anything, she added a few more strange looking black leaves.

"This one will help you."

Xi Mengyao looked at it, nodded her head, then squatted down and finished it in one gulp.

The tea was extremely bitter, almost hard to swallow. However, looking at Yu Han's appearance, she forced herself to drink the water.

When she handed the cup over, she realized that her throat had cleared a lot. She asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Yu Han shook her head. "I don't know, the Prince brought this back to me with a little girl, saying it can cure the poison in your body."

"What about the poison gas?"

Yu Han sighed and started to explain.

There were actually two types of plants growing on the mountain. One of the trees had grown up at this time of year, but it was incompatible with the other type of plant.

The murder sixteen years ago was due to the person being hit by the miasma.

"However, the miasma usually doesn't spread to the village. I don't know what they did, but I think they used this method to kill all the villagers!" As Yu Han spoke, her face also became somewhat pale.

Song Chongjing had already told her that the villagers there had all been killed one year after they were taken away.

"You … "My condolences." Xi Mengyao could guess as well, and said again after giving her some comfort, "I noticed earlier that the one who occupied that side was the black-robed man from before. "It seems that they have also colluded with your previous organization."

After saying that, she glanced at Yu Han, paused for a bit, and then slowly said: "Presumably last time, they also gave you a mission on purpose, I'm afraid that your organization has already sold all of your people's lives."

"I knew it!" Hearing that, Yu Han could not help but reach out to hammer the bed frame.

This caused Xi Mengyao to jump in fright, and she quickly grabbed onto her hands: "I'm still in bed, you'll make me collapse later, I'll sleep on the floor tonight?"

After hearing that, Yu Han quickly retracted her hand.

She was silent for a long time before speaking again, "That's right, more than half of those people died and the living princes have all been brought back. However, everyone was locked in the back courtyard. Oh, that's right, only an old man and a little girl were released."

Xi Mengyao nodded, she had already guessed it, and asked: "Then where are they now?"

"In the front hall."

Xi Mengyao nodded her head, she did not have any rest, and directly rushed to the side hall.
