"Yes." Wen Qingcheng said confidently. She was suppressed by the prince at that time and could not resist. Moreover, he could move meridians and acupoints, so silver needles could not deal with him, but she still had the weapons in the space.

"I know you've practiced Qigong and your strength is greater than that of an ordinary man. If you really run into someone who practices martial arts, especially a master like Your Highness, do you think you can still escape? Never be so blindly confident and put yourself in danger in the future."

Wen Qingcheng nodded. She was indeed a little blindly confident. Now that she thought about it, she really shouldn't put herself in danger. "Then I'll go and plead guilty to the prince and prescribe some strengthening medicine for him?"

Mo Jinghong immediately said, "No need to do that. He doesn't want to pursue you. I've already explained it to him clearly."

Speaking of making medicine, Wen Qingcheng suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Yinfu since she arrived in Kyoto. She only heard from Ah Falcon that Yinfu went to recuperate. He was stabbed in the abdomen, shot in the back by an arrow, and had various injuries. If he got infected, it would be fatal.

"Is Hidden Bat recovered?" Wen Qingcheng asked. Fearing that Mo Jinghong might be suspicious, she explained, "Hidden Bat is my lifesaver..."

However, in Mo Jinghong's eyes, this explanation meant that Wen Qingcheng cared about Yinfu. His heart was churning, and he stared at Wen Qingcheng without blinking. "You seem to care about him a lot."

"No, he tried his best to save me, which is why we are together today. Naturally, I have to ask for your help in saving my life."

"That's his duty, you don't have to worry about it." Mo Jinghong was annoyed. The little girl he liked was being thought of by his brother, and she was still thinking about her shadow guard! The lady was in trouble, and the hero rescued her. This kind of plot was the easiest to develop feelings.

Wen Qingcheng felt that the atmosphere was a little off. Seeing Mo Jinghong's cold face and his hands unconsciously playing with the teacup with veins bulging, she knew that he was angry again.

"What's wrong with you? You're the one I care about most."

Mo Jinghong felt much better after being coaxed by Wen Qingcheng's soft words. Although he still had a stern face, he was secretly happy. "You want to know about the hidden bats?"

Wen Qingcheng nodded, thinking that he was no longer angry. Mo Jinghong's words the next second really scared Wen Qingcheng.

"I killed him." Mo Jinghong said calmly, looking up at Wen Qingcheng.

"Stop joking, I know you, you wouldn't do that." Wen Qingcheng smiled stiffly. She knew Mo Jinghong's character. Although he killed people, he didn't kill indiscriminately.

"I won't allow the woman I love to still be thinking about another man." Mo Jinghong said with a straight face.

Seeing that Mo Jinghong was serious about what he said, Wen Qingcheng couldn't help but have a bad feeling. Could it be that Yinfu was really killed by him? Thinking of this, Wen Qingcheng's face suddenly turned pale as paper.

Wen Qingcheng's expression was all in Mo Jinghong's eyes. Suddenly, Mo Jinghong's face turned dark blue, and his eyes turned cold, "You still say you don't care about him!"

Wen Qingcheng looked up and saw Mo Jinghong's face was gloomy. She was not sure whether Yinfu was alive or dead. "Tell me whether Yinfu is dead or not. I won't go to see him." Wen Qingcheng said at the end, with a pleading tone in her voice.

Mo Jinghong's face turned from green to black. The answer was obvious. During the days of escape, they lived together as a boy and a girl, and Yinfu protected her with his life. Wen Qingcheng would naturally have different feelings for him. In order to know the whereabouts of Yinfu, she actually begged him in a low voice.

"I said, I have killed him." Mo Jinghong stood up angrily and walked towards the door.

"No, you lied to me!" Wen Qingcheng stepped forward to stop him. "I just want to know what happened to him. I really don't have any other ideas."

Wen Qingcheng's eyes were red, and in Mo Jinghong's eyes, it seemed that Wen Qingcheng was really anxious. He clenched his hands into fists, and angrily walked around Wen Qingcheng, threw his robe and left.

After Mo Jinghong left, tears fell from Wen Qingcheng's eyes. She rarely cried, she just felt wronged. Mo Jinghong had always been infinitely doting on her, but today he was so mean to her.

Bai Wei saw Mo Jinghong leave and came in from outside. Seeing Wen Qingcheng lying on the table crying, she hurried over and asked, "Miss, what happened? Did you have a fight with the prince? I just saw the prince walk out with an angry face."

Wen Qingcheng didn't know why she was crying. It was because Yin Fu's life or death was unknown, and also because Mo Jinghong left in anger.

Ah Falcon saw Mo Jinghong walking out angrily outside the courtyard and hurriedly followed him, thinking: What's wrong with this evil star? Every time he came out of Changchun Courtyard, he couldn't suppress his smile. What happened today?

Ah Falcon caught up with Mo Jinghong and coughed softly, "Sir, the master is here. He is sitting in the study. He just sent someone to look for you."

When Mo Jinghong heard that it was Master He who came, he glanced at Ah Falcon and said, "Grandfather is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Ah Falcon thought to himself: You came out with such a fierce look just now, and you looked like you would chop up any earthworm that passed by. How could I dare to go up and talk to you?

Although he thought about it, Ah Falcon didn't dare to say anything. "It was my negligence."

Mo Jinghong adjusted his mood and quickly walked into the study. "Why is Grandpa here?"

Master He was in his sixties, with half-white hair, broad shoulders and thick back, and dressed in black and gold clothes. He looked very majestic and powerful. When Master He saw Mo Jinghong coming, he dismissed the servants in the room.

Seeing that Mr. He looked solemn, Mo Jinghong sat quietly aside and waited for him to speak first.

"Hong'er, there is a pharmacist named Wen. What is your relationship with her? The other day, the third daughter-in-law told your grandmother that a pharmacist named Wen has come to the He family, and the whole He family is spreading rumors that you have a special relationship with this woman."

Mo Jinghong's eyes darkened. The third daughter-in-law that Mr. He mentioned was Wang Yunxi. She actually went to complain to his grandmother. Mo Jinghong felt annoyed.

"She is a pharmacist I discovered from Qinghe County. She is very talented, and I plan to train her to be someone who can replace Lu Qiuyu."

"Hong'er, you've been blinded by beauty. I heard that this girl is only in her teens, she's dissolute and frivolous, and she only wants to marry into a wealthy family. How can she replace Lu Qiuyu?"

Mr. He had a preconceived notion based on what Wang Yunxi said, thinking that Wen Qingcheng was just a country girl who wanted to be rich and powerful, and she came all the way from the countryside to Kyoto to throw herself into the arms of Mo Jinghong. Then, Mo Jinghong was fascinated by her beauty and gave her a separate courtyard and the privilege of taking things from the medicinal materials and the warehouse at will. It was said that Wen Qingcheng was a coquettish and charming girl, and now the whole He family was talking about her and Mo Jinghong, saying all kinds of unpleasant things.

Mr. He had long known that Lu Qiuyu had a disloyal heart, including the second and third rooms. The people in the second room were still waiting and watching, but the third room had already taken action. According to the spies that Mr. He had planted in the third room, Mr. He San was a supporter of the third prince. Mr. He and Mo Jinghong were supporters of the prince, which meant that it was only a matter of time before Mr. He San and Lu Qiuyu rebelled.

The biggest crisis for the He family now is that if Lu Qiuyu leaves, it will be difficult for the He family to find someone to replace him. If the Third Prince speaks up in front of the emperor, the He family will soon lose their qualification as imperial merchants. Currently, half of the He family's business comes from the palace. If they can't find someone to take over Lu Qiuyu's job, the He family will be hit hard.
