According to the supervisor, the assassins that came earlier were extremely strong, and did not dare say that they were far stronger than these seven, but they were definitely stronger than them. It was just that the person did not kill the innocent, and had found Ji Yunkai with a clear goal.

It was unknown if that assassin was too careless or if Ji Yunkai's ability was too strong. In short, that assassin was extremely unlucky, as no one had noticed him sneaking into the Duke's Mansion, but right when he stepped into Ji Yunkai's courtyard.

And just as he was about to take Ji Yunkai down, Ji Yunkai suddenly took out the Heavenly Doctor's Divine Needle. The other party had not expected that Ji Yunkai would shoot him dead in the head, and had no choice but to leave with his injuries.

There was no choice, he did not believe in Ji Yunkai.

"Yes." After Xiao Jiu'an left, he invited Ji Yunkai to rest in another courtyard, and then arranged for people to clean up Ji Yunkai's courtyard.

Ji Yunkai did not reject her. Before he left, he took a look at the ground covered with grass.

Fortunately these flowers and plants were smashed, no matter what Xiao Jiu'an suspected, he would not be able to find anything.

But even if he knew that Xiao Jiu'an could not find anything, Ji Yunkai could not sleep at all, and could only stare blankly at the top of the bed.

It wasn't that she was useless. Too many things had happened tonight. If she could sleep, then she would truly be heartless.

Just as Ji Yunkai had guessed, Xiao Jiu'an getting someone to clean up Ji Yunkai's courtyard was because she was suspicious of her plants.

According to what he found out, Ji Yunkai was not someone who loved plants. Previously, he had never raised any plants in the Ji Palace, but now that he suddenly started raising one in Prince Yanbei's Mansion, what exactly was his purpose for doing so?

Xiao Jiu'an did not believe that Ji Yunkai was doing this to cultivate her character, to the point of finding things to do if she had nothing better to do, how could a woman like Ji Yunkai do such a useless thing?

Furthermore, with him here, no matter how good a gardener was, they wouldn't be able to make the plants grow in the Duke Palaces. However, Ji Yunkai had done it.

With all of these things combined together, it was impossible for Xiao Jiu'an not to suspect even if he wanted to. If he did not investigate and allowed Ji Yunkai to do whatever he wanted right under his nose, then he would not be Xiao Jiu'an.

It took the manager a whole night to arrange Ji Yunkai's courtyard, but all the flowers and plants in her courtyard were handed over to the doctors at home to inspect.

No matter how they inspected it, there was no problem with the flowers and plants. They were merely better grown than normal flowers and plants.

"They are all ordinary plants. There are a few that can be used in medicine, but they are all harmless, and there are no abnormalities either. When placed together, there are no harm done by anyone." The doctors of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion opened up all the flowers and plants in Ji Yunkai's courtyard and chewed them to pieces.

The steward went through the motions again and again, but the results were the same. He could only report truthfully, "Prince, everything in the estate is normal. There's nothing suspicious." In other words, what happened tonight could very well be a coincidence.

"Is that so?" Xiao Jiu'an laughed coldly, his gaze landed on the emerald green mint pot on the desk.

It had been in front of him for a whole day and night, but it still didn't die.

The manager saw that Xiao Jiu'an did not speak for a long time, and when he raised his head to look, and saw Xiao Jiu'an staring at the potted plants on the table, he could not help but laugh bitterly.

He knew it was unusual, but why should he?

Because the potted plants that Shiqing had taken away from his wife would wither in a few days.

"You may leave." Xiao Jiu'an did not make things difficult for the overseer. Instead, he indifferently withdrew his gaze and leaned back in his chair, and gently rubbed the ring on his thumb.

"Your Highness!" When the sky was about to brighten, a dark guard suddenly appeared.

"Speak." Xiao Jiu'an replied without even raising his head.

"Infanta Shiqing just returned to the manor." The hidden guard hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Very good." Xiao Jiu'an already had an argument in his heart, so he was not surprised at all: "Withdraw our surveillance on Infanta."

Now that she was sure, there was no need to waste any more manpower to keep an eye on her.

Just a woman, and she was nothing as long as he didn't want to give her rights.

Xiao Jiu'an stood up, gently brushed off the mint leaves, then turned and walked out.

Xiao Jiu'an had to go to the morning court in the next few days, he had no way to sleep at this time. After leaving the study room, he changed into his court uniform and rode his horse to the palace.

The Imperial Court was in an uproar as usual. Although there were continuously defendants in the Qin Clan, they were not discouraged, and did not stop impeaching Xiao Jiu'an. Furthermore, they could find new excuses every day.

In the beginning, Xiao Jiu'an had only paid attention to them, he did not mind revealing his strength and shaking the emperor and the officials. However, after knowing that the Sky Martial Princess was coming, Xiao Jiu'an was too lazy to bother with these dogs who only know how to bark but not how to bite people.

No matter what, the emperor couldn't punish him, and he couldn't return to Yanbei in a short period of time. Why waste his time and energy playing with a bunch of clowns?

Facing the censor's impeachment that was not afraid of death, Xiao Jiu'an only had one sentence from the beginning to the end, "This king does not know."

Yes, I don't know, no matter what the censors said, Xiao Jiu'an didn't know. If the emperor was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do, he just didn't know.

Facing Xiao Jiu'an who acted shamelessly like usual, the emperor was not as angry or dissatisfied as usual. The emperor was extremely calm today, but looking at Xiao Jiu'an, his gaze was even more terrifying than ever before.

Xiao Jiu'an knew that the Emperor must be unhappy about what had happened last night.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Even if all the Sky rank spies were unable to do anything to a single woman, how could the emperor not feel aggrieved?

But what did this have to do with him?

If he did not want to feel aggrieved, he would just send out all of Li Yuan and the heaven and earth profound yellow spies.
