The young eunuch whispered, "The prince is so handsome, how many women can catch his eye? The only one he cares about is married again."

The maid laughed softly and said, "That's right. Apart from Marquis Jing'an, what other woman could catch the prince's eye? No wonder the prince loves to look in the mirror. Isn't it better to look at himself than at those mediocre women?"

The young eunuch was puzzled: "If the prince loves to look at himself, why does he always break the mirror? The butler has bought more than 20 mirrors this month!"

The maid was also puzzled: "Yes, I don't know what the prince's quirk is. Well, I guess it will be better when he has a princess."

At this time, someone in the hall laughed sinisterly: "Really? This king has another quirk, do you know?"

The palace maid and the eunuch were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life, I will never dare to do it again!"

Jiang Li and the other person lay on the roof, holding their breath, motionless.

I saw a pair of pale hands suddenly stretched out, strangled the palace maid and eunuch by the neck, and dragged them into the hall.

Jiang Li was startled and was about to fly down, but was held down by Xie Changan.

He shook his head at her, telling her not to alert the enemy.

Even if she rushed to rescue them at this moment, with Nangong Yonghe's skills, that one grab would be enough to break the throats of the two men.

Jiang Li had no choice but to bend down and was about to quietly lift a tile to see what was going on in the hall.

But Nangong Yonghe was heard coughing violently in the hall, and he could vaguely hear him say: "You again..."

Soon, he shouted loudly: "Someone come!"

Two people dressed in eunuch's clothes emerged from the darkness, walked into the hall, and dragged out the palace maid and eunuch.

The two men collapsed to the ground, allowing themselves to be dragged away. Without even looking, one could tell that they had already turned into two corpses.

Xie Changan said through the heart contract: "Follow. Let's see what the body is like."

Jiang Li nodded.

Xie Changan then made a few short bird calls to inform Liao Wuyong of their movements, and the two of them quietly followed the two eunuchs, passing over the rooftops like ghosts.

The two eunuchs were obviously skilled in martial arts, as they each carried a corpse effortlessly.

They stuffed the body into an inconspicuous carriage and drove away from the palace.

Jiang Li and Xie Changan used their internal energy to follow closely.

The carriage went all the way to the city gate. The eunuch showed the badge of the Prince of Wei's Palace. The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop it and opened the city gate to let it pass.

After the carriage left the city, Xie Changan and Jiang Li also came to the city gate. When the soldiers guarding the city saw that they were the commander of the Jinyiwei and Marquis Jing'an, they hurried forward to salute.

Xie Chang'an borrowed a horse from the captain of the city gate on the pretext of carrying out a mission, and went out of the city with Jiang Li to chase after him.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not dare to chase too closely. They trotted their horses and followed the wheel tracks all the way.

Soon, the carriage was seen parked beside a barren mountain.

The two men tied their horses in the woods, flew up a big tree, and waited quietly.

Xie Changan held Jiang Li in his arms and asked softly, "Are you cold?"

Jiang Li huddled in his arms, mumbling, "Not bad. I just hope these two can move more quickly and don't keep us waiting too long."

Xie Changan smiled and said, "This is a mass grave. The bodies won't be buried too deep. They will probably come down soon."

Sure enough, not long after, the two eunuchs were seen hurriedly coming down the mountain, driving their carriages, and returning to the city.

After the carriage drove away, Xie Changan and Jiang Li went up the mountain together.

They followed the two men's footsteps and soon found the bodies of the palace maid and the eunuch.

Xie Changan said: "Let me do it, don't get your hands dirty."

His little slave's fingers are slender and tender like spring onions. How could he let her touch a corpse?

As he spoke, he took out a pair of gloves from his arms, put them on, and gently lifted the mat covering the corpse.

The two men's faces were pale and they died with their eyes open.

Xie Changan first checked their cervical vertebrae and found that although there were fingerprints on their throats, the bones were still intact and they did not die from strangulation.

He was slightly surprised and began to carefully check other vital parts.

Seeing his solemn expression, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

"No fatal injuries were found." Xie Changan wondered, "It doesn't look like he died of suffocation either."

Jiang Li said, "This place is not far from the Longmen Medical Bureau's farm. Why don't we have someone take the body away so that Brother Shen can take a look?"

Xie Changan nodded: "Okay."

He took off his gloves, and together with Jiang Li, he jumped on the horse and galloped towards the farm of Longmen Medical Bureau.

Shen Muchun happened to be at the farmhouse. He had already gone to bed, but was woken up from his warm bed by Xie Changan, who asked him to send someone to retrieve the body.

"It's the middle of the night. Why are you two not sleeping and going to a mass grave?"

What kind of weird interest is this?

Xie Changan was also helpless. He and the little slave Li were newly married, and he was either called into the palace to accompany a birth, or sneak into the Prince of Wei's mansion to spy, or even run to a mass grave in the middle of the night to dig up corpses!

This honeymoon is unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Jiang Li chuckled and explained the whole process.

Shen Muchun's face also became serious. He quickly asked someone to prepare the carriage and ordered the servants to clean up the main courtyard of the manor so that Jiang Li could have a rest.

Xie Changan took Shen Muchun to the mass grave again.

Although Jiang Li is the owner of the manor, this is her first time here.

It’s hard to see the layout of the manor at night, but the fragrance of herbs lingering in the air is relaxing.

She walked into the bedroom, washed up quickly, and fell asleep.

The bedding was new and exuded a faint scent of mugwort.

Jiang Li was exhausted from running around these days and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At dawn, Xie Changan came back.

He took a bath, changed his clothes, and fumigated his clothes with the mugwort specially made by Shen Muchun before returning to his room.

Xie Changan opened the curtain and saw Jiang Li sleeping soundly with her clothes half open.

His eyes darkened, he lifted the quilt, hugged the warm and soft body, and kissed her passionately.

"Um...what are you doing..."

Jiang Li woke up with a start and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"My lady, the night is too short..."

As a result, Jiang Li slept until noon.

The one who helped her wash, dress and eat was a little maid with a round face.

After Jiang Li finished his breakfast, he asked, "Where are Lord Xie and Lord Shen?"

The little maid was very shy when she saw the legendary beautiful Marquis Jing'an for the first time. She whispered, "My Lord, Master Xie and Master Shen are both in the front yard."

"Okay, lead the way."

The little maid took Jiang Li and walked towards the front yard.

The farm was full of various herbs. It was winter now, and the herbs everywhere were protected in greenhouses. Shen Muchun also asked Mo Qilang to bring in hot spring water to keep them warm.

Therefore, although it is winter, the herbs in the village are growing quite well.

Jiang Li looked at the account books and found that Longmen Medical Bureau was now basically self-sufficient in the medicinal materials it used. The costs had dropped significantly, and the profits from finished drugs were becoming more and more astonishing.
