Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Inside the carriage, Lou Xiao sat quietly, occasionally lifting the curtain to look outside.

Although she was sure that Tang Wang had brought disaster to the martial arts world, she still didn't want anything to happen again - Xiao Zhengze's health was already not good, and if he was poisoned again, he would probably lose weight again.

On the way back to the palace, their carriage met a group of people. Lou Xiao heard someone crying and shouting, so he stretched his neck to take a look.

It looked like the police were taking the prisoners to the execution ground.

She looked silently through the gaps in the carriage curtains, one by one at the figures that looked like zombies or wailing endlessly. She felt a little reluctant, but she knew very well that she could do nothing.

"Are those people going to be executed?" Lou Xiao asked the servant beside Xiao Zhengze in a low voice, "The Ministry of Justice handles cases very efficiently."

The servant only took a glance and nodded, "They are all negligent in their duties on the day of the emperor's birthday, and gave Ji an advantage. They will not be able to escape death."

He was also very emotional. Most of the servants in the palace were cautious and afraid of making mistakes.

The good relationships that Shiren Ji had built up over many years suddenly cost the lives of many people who had no idea about the situation. He could only go to the underworld to beg for redemption, there was nothing he could do.

The palace rules prohibit forming cliques for personal gain, and this does make sense.

The servant became more cautious and did not move after saying this. Lou Xiao also remained silent as he watched the official and his men walk away.

The palace gate was tall and she had never thought that the palace was so out of reach.

Senior sister was always close to her in her heart, and she could never have a deep understanding of the word "imperial power".

Perhaps it was because he had just witnessed the insignificance of people under power. The moment he entered the palace, Lou Xiao looked up at the high eaves.

The copper nails on the heavy palace gate tell its history. Over the thousands of years, who were the people who walked in this position like her?

Why think so much, Lou Xiao laughed at himself.

Soon she sorted out her thoughts.

Arriving at Xiao Zhengze's palace, the headstrong Seventeenth Prince's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw her coming, and he was about to get up to greet her,

Suddenly he seemed to remember something and sat there quietly with a sad face.

The imperial physician was taking his pulse, his old face full of confusion and embarrassment. He really had no idea what other problems he had besides his congenital deficiency.

"But I just feel uncomfortable, and I can't tell where." Xiao Zhengze said seriously to Lou Xiao who had just arrived.

"I feel better now that you're here. Is it a psychological factor?"

Lou Xiao took one look at the imperial physician and knew that his life was not in danger. She sat next to Xiao Zhengze and said, "A Cang, tell me honestly, are you really feeling unwell?"

Her face was full of seriousness, and she really wanted to make sure whether he was poisoned or not.

"The remaining Thousand Silk Rains do not seem to be tainted with poison, but it cannot be said to be completely safe. I don't know whether the needles she shot at me previously have been processed."

Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu strode in and said, "Until now, we still know too little about Tang Wang's past. Currently, the Duke of Zhenguo still knows the most about her."

Right now, everyone is focusing on punishing the person who let the soup in, and King Jin,

Xiao Zhengdu couldn't intervene in Queen Jin's affairs, so he had some free time now. "I'll ask Tang to write a memorial to the government in her hometown, detailing her personality and life story. It will take some time."

When King Youshan came in, Xiao Zhengze moved closer to Lou Xiao. His defensive look made King Youshan laugh, and then he received an even more displeased look from Xiao Zhengze.

Does this mean that he will snatch Lou Xiao away?

Xiao Zhengdu glanced at Lou Xiao, who was unaware of the affairs between men and women. She was carefully reading the pulse records written by the imperial physician and did not notice the affair between the two of them at all.

"It's normal that the government knows little about some things in the underworld." Lou Xiao pinched Xiao Zhengze's wrist while checking the pulse case. She could only get a rough idea.

Perhaps she would find something by using her internal energy to explore, but Xiao Zhengze's body couldn't withstand her torment.

This made her more determined to explore the martial arts world. Lou Xiao talked to Xiao Zhengze again.

Prince Youshan sat next to them very tactlessly, under the pretext of visiting his royal brother. In fact, he pretended not to hear Xiao Zhengze's repeated calls to drive him away.

Was Xiao Zhengze's poor health a pre-existing problem or a symptom brought on by the heavy rain?

He himself didn't seem to care much, as if Lou Xiao was the only one who was worried.

After finishing her visit to Xiao Zhengze, she had no idea how tit-for-tat the two brothers were in the room without her.

Xiao Zhengze was not happy and sneered at Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu, "How shameless! He came here uninvited and coveted others. He can't be driven away even if he is chased away."

Xiao Zhengdu stood up and shook his sleeves, "Miss Lou didn't say anything, how can my brother say she is yours."

The two brothers were often unhappy with each other, but they had never been truly hostile to each other. This time, something seemed to be different.

Xiao Zhengze, who was not very happy to begin with, took it seriously this time, "Xiao Zhengdu, do you really want to snatch it from me?"

Without waiting for King Youshan to answer, Xiao Zhengze lowered his voice and warned him, "You will regret it."

"Why, you want to kill me?" Xiao Zhengdu directly brought up what happened in the past, "Like the assassination of Li Huaiqing, let Ji Heng do it to me?"

Xiao Zhengze lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if he was not surprised that he knew.

"He is not a good person and deserves to die." He does not care about other people's lives at all. This is the true prince who has been in a high position for a long time.

Xiao Zhengze released his true self, "No one can snatch her away, she can only be mine. I met her first, and she cares about me."

Lou Xiao would be very concerned about his health, and would put down what she was doing and go to the palace to visit him immediately if he said he was not feeling well.

Does she treat others like this?

Xiao Zhengze thought, absolutely not.

He didn't really want to take action against Xiao Zhengdu. Unlike Li Huaiqing, Xiao Zhengdu was quite capable of doing things for the imperial sister.

If the imperial sister knew that I had murderous intentions towards him, she would definitely be unhappy.

"The Dark Owl Organization is not a place for you to kill people at will, Xiao Zhengze. You should be thankful that Li Huaiqing is okay, otherwise it will only cause trouble for His Majesty."

Xiao Zhengdu had seen his mood swings many times, and had long been accustomed to his willful and crazy behavior.

Her Majesty the Queen gave her younger brother an enviable power. He was not subject to any jurisdiction and even he didn't know what he was doing.

Xiao Zhengdu had no doubt that Ji Heng was extremely loyal to him. If Xiao Zhengze ordered her to kill him one day, she would not hesitate at all.

"Since it's given to me, I can do whatever I want." Xiao Zhengze certainly knew what he was holding in his hand meant, "That's none of your business."

"Ji Heng was right beside you at the time. She was obsessed with you. How could she let you suffer that heavy rain?"

Xiao Zhengdu expressed his doubt, "You are hurt on purpose, right, King Hanhai? You don't want Lou Xiao to know your true appearance, so──please restrain yourself a little."
