She sighed, took his pulse, and thought to herself that she might have gotten into big trouble!

"Do you know medical skills?"

"Do not talk!"

This was the first time in Jun Ye's life that someone spoke to him in such a tone, except for Doctor Yan in the mansion.

After a long silence, Mu Qingyan let go of his hand, her face solemn. But the words she blurted out made Jun Ye laugh out loud, "You're almost dead, why would someone want to kill you? Are you afraid that you won't die cleanly?"

"Aren't you afraid of death when you talk to me like this?"

"I'm handing you a knife right now, but you can't even lift it. Why are you dying?"

After that, the white hand quickly tapped several acupuncture points on his chest, and finally the palm stopped at his left chest. She closed her eyes, and Jun Ye only felt a warmth that penetrated into his chest, spread to his limbs, and finally condensed in the eight extraordinary meridians...

The painful feeling in his chest eased a little.

Breathing is also much smoother.

About two cups of tea later, she opened her eyes and removed her hand from his chest.

She concentrated and listened carefully. "Your people are here, so I'll leave first. My maid is waiting for me at the dock. I can only suppress the poison in your body temporarily. It will take time to completely detoxify you. If you use your internal force again before then, you will have to report to Yama Palace."

After saying that, she really left, without worrying at all that the person coming was not a guard but an enemy.

But she was not wrong in her guess. The people who came were indeed his. But how did she know?

"Prince! Are you okay?" The guard Ashu bent down and helped him up. The others also dealt with the man in black and returned to his side.

"He won't die. Have you caught anyone alive?" Jun Ye's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife.

Ah Shu quickly confessed, "I was incompetent. I caught one and let him commit suicide."

"Send someone to see Miss Mu off, but just make sure she returns home safely and don't disturb her."

A Shu winked at the person behind him, and that person took his orders and left.

When Mu Qingyan found the jade hairpin, she was hiding in a big basket shivering. After she was pulled out of the basket, her legs went limp and she sat on the ground with a pale face.

"Girl, so many people died..."

"It's okay. You're not coming for us. Have you burned paper money and set off river lanterns for your family?"

"I burned it and set it off. When I came back, I found the streets in a mess and the lake was full of people in black. I couldn't find you and the third girl, so I had to hide myself..." Yuzhan lowered her little face, feeling guilty for her cowardice.

Mu Qingyan touched her head and said, "Good girl, next time you encounter something like this, remember to take care of yourself first when there is danger. Your own life is the most important, understand?"

Yuzhin looked up suddenly, as if asking, is that so?

Isn't the master's life the most important?

"Okay, we've made such a big noise, and if the streets are put under martial law soon, we won't be able to go back, so let's go!"

Yuzhan followed her back with full of doubts.

Because there was a fight on the lake, people on the street were in chaos and running around, fearing that they would be caught in the fight. At this moment, there were many corpses floating on the lake and there were few people on the street.

Only a few vendors who had no time to pack up their stalls were still busying about.

When a prince is assassinated, martial law will be imposed on the streets. If they stay here any longer, they might be arrested as suspicious persons.

Mu Yingyu, that fool, is with Prince Chong. Seeing how nervous that scumbag looks, she shouldn't be in any danger.

As expected, they were stopped by the patrol camp on the way. But just as the leader was about to stop the master and servant, he glanced behind them and saw something, so he gave up questioning them and let them go.

Mu Qingyan guessed that it was probably someone sent by the prince.

No matter what, I finally returned to the Duke's Mansion safely.

In front of the mansion gate, he met Prince Chong who was walking down the stairs, and the original owner's adoptive father, Duke Fuguo Musnian, who was bowing to him.

Mu Qingyan bowed to King Chong and did not neglect the courtesy of presenting the jade hairpin.

But King Chong just looked at her coldly, snorted, and got on the carriage.

Duke Fu watched the carriage leave until it was out of sight, then he looked towards Mu Qingyan and said coldly, "You will kneel at the gate tonight and are not allowed to enter the mansion!"

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and strode into the mansion, ordering the key to be taken away and not allowing her to enter.

Watching the two vermilion doors slowly close and the locks snapped shut from the inside, Yuzhan cried, "Miss, what should we do?"

Mu Qingyan pinched Yuzhan's chubby little face and said, "Why are you crying? If he doesn't let us in, will we really not go in?"

Yuzhan sniffed, "But, but the master told you to kneel down and not to go in..."

Mu Qingyan pulled her to the other side of the alley, "Kneel down just because he tells you to? Who the hell is he?"

Taoyuan is not only small, but also located in the most remote corner of the Duke's Mansion, and there is a dead end outside the courtyard wall.

Yu Zan looked at the dark dead end, then raised her head to look at the courtyard wall that was two people tall, and for a moment she didn't understand what her girl wanted to do.

She was about to ask when she felt her waist tighten and her feet suddenly left the ground.

She was so scared that she closed her eyes. She wanted to scream, but was afraid of alarming anyone, so she could only keep her mouth tightly shut.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already on solid ground. In the faint moonlight, I saw the peach blossom in the yard swaying in the breeze...

She opened her eyes wide and gasped, unable to utter a word.

Until her girl patted her shoulder and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early! I'm going to sleep!"

Over at Yu Garden, Mu Yingyu learned that Mu Qingyan was punished by her father to kneel outside the mansion gate, and she paced back and forth anxiously with her hands on her waist.

"What should I do? I just want to find an excuse to talk to King Chong and ask him to pity me, but I don't want to cause Mu Qingyan to be punished... It's so dark outside the mansion gate, and it's cold at night. If I kneel for another night, won't my legs be crippled?"

The maid Chuntao advised her, "Miss San, it is the Duke who wants to punish her, you should not interfere..."

Mu Yingyu still felt that she had to at least go take a look. The weather was so cold, so she should at least give her a cloak and some food. After all, she was the one who caused this...

But when she took Chuntao to the gate of the mansion stealthily and asked someone to open the door, she found that there was no one outside. There were only two lanterns hanging at the door, which swayed in the breeze and the candlelight inside flickered.

"What's going on? Where are the people?" Mu Yingyu turned around and asked the doorman who was on night duty.

The doorman rubbed his eyes and said, "What the hell? Where is that person?"

"I have been guarding inside the whole time. I don't know where the person has gone! But I promise that I definitely did not open the door before the third lady came!"
