The black clothed man who was hiding in the corner suddenly relaxed a lot as he watched them leave. With a leap, he quickly turned around and left.

Two hours later, the three of them arrived at the entrance of a noble yet elegant mansion. The woman stopped in her tracks and took a glance at the four words on the black wooden plaque, "Regent's Manor". Although all of this was planned, the necessary acting was still indispensable. Thinking about that, the woman pretended to be surprised, pointed at the four words on the black wooden plaque, and asked curiously, "This? This is the Residence of Regent? "

Qi Wanli didn't say anything and only faintly smiled. However, Liu Qi snatched it away first.

"I know the wangfei of this palace. I heard she's a great benefactor." As Liu Qi spoke, she shot a glance at Qi Wan County. This was clearly revenge for being glared at by Martial Uncle Wang?

[This little girl is so vindictive?] He actually dared to challenge me for such a trivial matter? Is he getting bolder and bolder? Fine! Just you wait for me and see how I'll deal with you in the future. Thinking of this, a faint smile rose from the corner of Qi Wanli's mouth.

"Oh? "Go on in!" As Qi Ling said this, she pulled the girl up and walked in. Liu Qi was still lost in the complacency of glancing at her Martial Uncle, and when she regained her senses, she shouted, "Wait for me!" He chased after them in a hurry.

At the same time, in the backyard of the capital's crown prince's residence, a man dressed in an azure dragon embroidered robe was calmly dancing with his sword in deep love. The sword in his hand was like a white snake spitting out its tongue, hissing through the wind, and like a dragon swimming through the air. It moved about four times, sometimes lightly like a swallow, and sometimes like lightning as it rose.

At this time, a black shadow appeared behind him. The man put away the sword in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and let out a long breath. He said coldly, "How is it?"

The black shadow cupped his fists and nodded, "The first plan was a failure, Merlin was taken into the Regent's Mansion by that woman."

"A bunch of trash! You deserve to die! " Yu Hanfeng indifferently said as he slowly opened his eyes. His long and narrow eyes shined with a sinister light. However, this was to be expected. That woman was not easy to deal with. Fortunately, he had a second plan.

After a moment of silence, the Crown Prince spoke slowly, "The hope now is all on Merlin." His eyes swept across the crowd and he said fiercely, "Work together with Merlin. We must kill that woman!"

"Yes!" Subordinate obeys! "

In the Regent's Manor, Qi Shu brought that woman to the great hall and met a housekeeper who saw that the wangfei had brought an outsider into the mansion, so they didn't say anything. He carefully and vigilantly glanced at this woman with messy hair and untidy clothes. For some reason, the butler had a bad premonition the moment he saw this woman. However, he couldn't pinpoint where the problem was.

When the woman saw the unordinary manner of the middle-aged man in front of her, she wondered if she had been shocked by him. It was still because she was guilty of being a thief that an inexplicable fear assaulted her. She wisely and quickly avoided the steward's gaze and hid behind the Qi Hui County.

The steward immediately withdrew his gaze from the girl and changed it to a benevolent smile. He cupped his hands and bowed, "Princess!" May I know who this lady is? "

Qi Wanjun was stunned. She was only concerned with saving others, and yet she didn't even ask for their name. She slowly turned around and said with an embarrassed expression, "That?"

The woman looked at Qi Shu County with a troubled expression and timidly said, "My surname is Mei, my name is Mei Lin."

"Oh? Right! Was she Lady Mei? Do you see my memory? " Qi Wanli pretended to have a face of sudden enlightenment as he spoke with a smile, but unfortunately, he was still unable to escape the steward's eyes.

The steward gave a suspicious "En," but Qi Dian felt embarrassed.

"Oh? Butler, please prepare some lunch! Miss Mei and I are both hungry! " Qi Wan County immediately found a topic to talk about.

"Princess, please wait for a moment. This old man will prepare them right away!" The housekeeper glanced at the submissive young woman hiding behind the princess' back, then he turned around and left. In his heart, he thought that it was best to be careful around people like her who didn't know their identities.

Merlin saw that the butler had already walked far away, and pretended to be surprised as he pulled on Qi Shu's arm. "Big sister!" Sister! Are you really the princess here? "

"I've just said it before, I know the wangfei here, she's a great benefactor!" Liu Qi said smugly to Merlin. This girl is really the same as my senior sister, she doesn't know modesty at all, and she also remembers grudges. Qi Wan County secretly sighed. As the saying goes, what kind of master do you have, what kind of disciple do you have? This was truly the same.

Qi Wan County was still smiling like it was bathed in spring breeze, but the expression on his face was self-evident.

After lunch, Qi Wanshi arranged for Merlin to stay in the room next to Liu Qi's, and sent Liu Qi to get Merlin a set of clean clothes for him to change into. He slowly walked back to the inner hall room and prepared to take a nap on the bed. Maybe it was because he was too tired? Qi Wan County actually didn't even know that there was someone following her from behind. Or perhaps it was because the martial arts attainments of the person following behind her was very profound, causing her to be unable to detect it.

Qi Wan County lay on his bed and thought about how his opponents were all extraordinary after today's great battle. If it wasn't for the fact that his martial arts was decent, he probably would have become a corpse a long time ago. However, the person who attacked her today really couldn't understand why. She had been travelling in the martial arts world for so long and had never offended anyone. Why would those people want her dead?

If the enemy was the crown prince, then that didn't make sense! I really can't understand, if only Senior Sister was here. Qi Wanxian thought about this and fell asleep …

At the same time, while Liu Qi was on her way to get the clothes, she was robbed by the butler. The butler looked around, then pulled Liu Qi to a small room with no one in it, "Girl, do you trust this old man?" Seeing the steward's serious look, Liu Qi nodded.

"Then tell this old man everything that happened today!" With his many years of intuition, he felt that there was something wrong with that woman, but she was brought in by the imperial concubine, so it was inconvenient for him to say that he was a servant. Even if he had a subtle relationship with the prince, he should not alert her before finding out the truth.

After a few days of interaction, the steward had learned that although the princess had great martial arts skills and was experienced in the martial arts world, she was, after all, a kind-hearted child. As a kind-hearted child, her heart was weak and innocent, and it was very possible that someone with ulterior motives would be able to take advantage of her.

Liu Qi knew that the steward had good intentions. For the sake of the wangfei, he told the steward everything without missing a single word.

A slender figure quickly flashed into the inner hall. Gently closing the door, a cold ray of light shot out from her black and white eyes. She quickly pulled out a poisoned hairpin from her messy hair and held it tightly in her hand.

Looking at Qi Wanxian's small face, which was as beautiful as ever without any makeup, Merlin's heart trembled a little. Slowly, he put down his hand that was holding the hairpin up high.

Not only was this woman kind, she was also a rare beauty. If it wasn't because of her master's orders, her own family would be held hostage by her master, and she wouldn't be harmed by him. Thinking of his master's methods, not only did Merlin shiver. He could disregard his own life, but he definitely couldn't ignore the lives of his family. Thinking of this, Merlin once again raised the hairpin and aimed it at Qi Shu's chest …

Hearing a creaking sound, Merlin quickly put the hairpin behind him, turned around to look at the door, and saw Liu Qi walk in. Liu Qi saw Merlin and said happily, "Elder sister, I've put the clean clothes in your room!" Then, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is elder sister here?"

Merlin pretended to be calm and forced a smile on his stiff face, "I just lost my way in the washroom because of Sister's anxiety!"

"It's all Liu Qi's fault, I didn't explain it clearly to big sister, Liu Qi will bring big sister over right now!" As Liu Qi said this, she pulled Merlin along and walked out of the room. The moment she stepped out, Merlin turned around and looked at the sleeping Chiru, smiling like a child.

The butler quietly returned to his room and closed the door. This was an ordinary looking room that hid a secret. The butler moved the incense burner in the room that was used to serve the esteemed Guanyin. What used to be a large painting of Guanyin had now become a secret compartment that could accommodate one person. The butler took a fire piston and walked in softly. Then, the secret compartment naturally closed.

There were two exits, one to the north and one to the south, one to the north. One to the north, one to the south. One to the north, one to the south. Originally, there had been no special secrets about this capable Regent's Mansion. However, the steward had quietly changed the place in the middle of the night after he had taken up residence with the Prince. "The best thing to prevent is that a tragedy similar to that of the Nangong Family should not happen to you, your highness.

Currently, only the steward and the prince knew of this secret passage.

Every time he entered this secret passageway, the butler, Nangong Yu, would be thinking about a problem. That was, if the Nangong Family from twenty years ago were like this, then would the fate of the Nangong Family being exterminated be changed?

Walking to the door of the prince's study, the steward took a break from the fire.

This hour was the appointed hour between the steward and the prince. No matter if it was Hong Kou, who often accompanied the prince, or his new concubine Qi'er, they would not be disturbed at this hour. The butler knocked three times on the wall, and a secret compartment similar to the one in the butler's room opened up.
