Mr. Fang placed down a chess piece: "I don't know if it's simple, but prince is definitely not a person with a short life and good fortune, so Your Highness does not need to worry too much."

Prince Chu frowned and did not say a word for a long while.

Qingmei threw Zhang Jing onto the ground, "prince, Lord Zhang will wake up soon. Qingmei doesn't dare to bring him back to the One Ming Yuan, what should he do?"

Chu Chen sat at the side of the table with a pale face and a porcelain cup of white jade by his side. Without even looking at Zhang Jing, he said calmly, "Send it back to Zhang Mansion."

Qingmei hesitated for a moment before replying, "Please forgive Qingmei for her presumptuousness. Lord Zhang will wake up tomorrow. How is Qingmei going to explain this?"

"You are someone close to the Fourth Miss, and he is her brother-in-law. You don't need him to explain anything." Chu Chen's slender white and pure fingers caressed the white jade blue and white porcelain cup.

Qing Mei frowned, she did not understand what Chu Chen had said.

Chu Chen slowly continued: "Yu Niang is now locked up by Assistant Minister Ma, tonight the emperor bestowed wine upon us, and the location is at the yamen of the yamen. Since you saved Yu Niang, you should wake up when you return to your young miss."

Qingmei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Miss, is something wrong?"

Chu Chen put down his cup: "You should ask your young miss about her."

Seeing Chu Chen's pale face, as if he was a half dead person, Qing Mei no longer bothered him and carried Zhang Jing: "Qing Mei, you may leave now."

"Yes." Chu Chen spoke, as if he was being polite.

Soon after, Qingmei sent Zhang Jing to Zhang Mansion's study.

After leaving the Zhang Mansion, Qingmei went to the yamen.

Lying on the ground outside the wall of the yamen, Qing Mei saw a group of people happily drinking in the courtyard.

Indeed, just as Chu Chen had said, within the yamen's main branch, Assistant Minister Ma was bringing people to drink and celebrate.

"Hahaha, following the assistant minister has a bright future. Hahaha, those who were waiting outside the mountain with the lord, didn't even smell the fragrance of the wine tonight!" The men raised their glasses and laughed heartily.

"Damn it! Even after five years, I still haven't managed to get a single cup of royal wine. I've only been with the assistant minister for one night, so this jar of royal wine can be drunk by us at will!"

"That's right. Luckily we went down with the assistant minister. I heard that the hundreds of people who followed him were all taken away by the Ministry of Justice."

"That's right. They followed the lord, causing the lord to be buried in a sea of fire. They might have gone straight into the Ministry of Justice and come out."

"Come, come, come. Drink, let's drink together. Who cares what those laborers are doing. How unlucky."

"Hahaha, we should toast to the assistant minister. The assistant minister has made a great contribution."

"This time, our lord has met with a calamity. As for the gap between the Prefecture Magistrate's Office and the Prefecture Magistrate's Office, we will join forces to recommend the Minister. The Minister is definitely not a different person."

The Assistant Minister Ma sat at the seat of honor, and when he heard his brothers flattering him, he was immediately overjoyed. Holding onto his wine cup, he staggered out of his seat.

Assistant Minister Ma: "Hahahaha, thank you brothers for your concern, but in the future, as long as there is good wine for me, there will be no lack of brothers. Today, we will enter the palace as a saint, the Emperor will bestow good wine to our brothers.

"The assistant minister has a deep affection for us, we will definitely serve you from the front and back." The assistant minister has a deep affection for us, we will definitely serve you from the front and back.

"You're right. We need to submit a joint letter, Vice Minister Pao."

"He's still called assistant minister. We should change the way we address him."

"Hahaha, yes, congratulations, Lord Ma."

"Congratulations, Sir Ma." Everyone stood up and flattered him.

When the Assistant Minister Ma heard this, his tail sticking up into the air, "Hahahaha, thank you brothers, thank you brothers, hahaha, come, I toast to you brothers!"

Qing Mei looked at the several hundred people who were half drunk and half awake. She frowned and walked towards the backyard. From the looks of it, xiaojie was really drunk.

After searching every room, Qing Mei finally saw Yu Niang in the woodshed.

Qing Mei turned around and walked into the room. She then carried Yu Niang and prepared to leave. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the door.

"It's pitch black here. It's as if two people have to be together in a washroom. How can there be torches covering the sky? There's meat and wine here, it's both fast and refreshing."

"Damn it! They are clearly people who will receive rewards together, why do we have to watch over this damn woman here?"

"That's right, that's right. The vice minister is too much. We have to put in more effort as well. I was at the front when they surrounded and killed the fourth miss."

"At the beginning, I did not believe that the old man was the Fourth Miss. I only believed it after the Assistant Minister Ma had ripped the Fourth Miss' clothes."

"That's right, who would have thought that it would be the fourth young miss who was greedy for vanity and was a prodigal. If the emperor knew that the fourth young miss was a Arcanist, I'm afraid we would have made a huge contribution."

When Qing Mei heard the conversation between the two, she knew that they were in charge of guarding the Yu Niang.

Dong, dong, dong!

Suddenly, two knocks came from the door, giving the two people who just came back a big shock.

Dong, dong, dong!

Two more knocks came from the door.

"Go take a look?" A person said.

"You b * tch, let me tell you, don't play tricks on me!" another man shouted.

"Look at your useless appearance." The first man stepped forward and kicked the door open. There was nothing to be seen in the darkness.

The first person took two bold steps forward. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of his eyes. The first person raised his hand to feel his wet neck before falling backwards.

The man behind caught the first person on the ground, and a strong smell of blood came from the tip of his nose.

The man's eyes widened as he opened his mouth to shout, "Someone … come!" Before he could finish his sentence, his neck began to bleed profusely.

Green Plum carried Yu Niang and sheathed her sword.

There were two corpses on the ground. Before they died, no one had seen who had killed them.

Qing Mei kept her sword and rushed in the direction of the Shui’s Marion.

When there were still two streets before the Shui’s Marion, Qingmei already felt the two extremely strong pressure rushing over from afar. Qing Mei's heart tightened. She didn't know that the other party was up to no good. She immediately stopped cultivating and calmed down. She then hid herself in a corner. She felt that she was no match for these two pressures.

In the darkness, he saw a pale faced, smiling eunuch with rouge on his lips, and a plump bald monk wearing a cassock. With the enchantment pearl in hand, he hurriedly rushed towards the Shui’s Marion.

Just as she was about to leave, she felt the Yu Niang moving.

"Yu Niang." Qing Mei took out the cloth that was stuffed into Yu Niang's mouth.

"The ones who went over just now were the Eunuch Bai and Master Tianxiang. We have to return quickly to the residence. Yu Niang asked dizzily.

"Master Tianxiang!" After being slightly shocked in his heart, he began to untie the ropes on Yu Niang's body, "Master Tianxiang is an esteemed monk with high Guoyuan Temple, who would actually have the face to invite Master Tianxiang over?"

Yu Niang calmed her mind, rubbed her head and took a deep breath, "I'm afraid that Miss is in trouble."

"What is the relationship between Master Tianxiang and the young miss?" Qing Mei threw the untied rope to the side and frowned.

"Qing Mei didn't know that when she was one year old, Miss mistakenly ate a piece of Ice Toad Heart from the Northern Frontier. It was only when she fell into the water in the cold winter at the age of five that she was noticed." Yu Niang pulled Qing Mei along and hurriedly walked toward Shui’s Marion.

"Outsiders only know that young miss has caught a cold from falling into the water, and are not familiar with young miss's condition. The Heart of Ice Toad has been in young lady's body for five years, and has already nurtured a Coldness Poison. Back then when Master Tianxiang sealed the Coldness Poison in Miss's body, Miss was safe and sound all these years. " Yu Niang told Qing Mei everything she knew.

"No wonder Miss is so fearful." Qing Mei frowned as she understood what was going on.

"Eunuch Bai invited Master Tianxiang over, I'm afraid Miss has a problem with the seal inside his body." Yu Niang said as she was very close to the Shui’s Marion.

Qing Mei wanted to ask Yu Niang why did he invite Master Tianxiang, and why he was so concerned about Miss Tianxiang's health. However, he had already reached the Shui’s Marion entrance, so it was inconvenient for him to ask again.

With that, he disappeared from Yu Niang's side.

Yu Niang tidied her clothes, then arrogantly walked towards the Shui’s Marion.

"Yu Niang, you're finally back." The butler Uncle Fu was anxious.

"What's wrong?" The Yu Niang asked with a smile, "I went to buy horseshoes for the young miss, I lined up for half a day, and in the end, I was met with people halfway down the line. I went back to find that they had already sold out, I plan to wait, but seeing that dinner time is already here, I decided to buy them tomorrow.

"It's not really a big deal, though. I followed the two old wives' instructions and went to ask the Fourth Miss why I didn't send the Yi'an Yard books to the two old wives. In the end, Wuhua and Ping Hua at the entrance sealed the road, and forced me, the Uncle Fu, to come find you." Uncle Fu sighed.

When Yu Niang heard this, his expression immediately turned bad, "Everything regarding Yi'an Yard has always been under the control of the young miss, you can just return to the old mistress. The Yi'an Yard has been taken over by the young mistress herself since then, and whatever is missing, whatever is missing, is all Fourth Miss's own."

After the Uncle Fu heard this, he immediately looked at the Yu Niang seriously. "Fourth Miss, do you mean that the account books should not be handed over to the Chang Le Yard?"

Yu Niang wanted to reject her, but the words that came out of her mouth came out: "I'll go ask the young miss first, I still need you to be in charge of this matter."
