But times have changed, and the Princess of Yiyang was afraid that her mother would be soft-hearted and get herself into trouble in order to make up for Fang Nanzhi.

So, she came to Fang Nanzhi in a humble manner, hoping that she would give up investigating Chen's case.

If she turns a blind eye, Chen Yong alone will not be able to make any waves.

Fang Nanzhi didn't think she was being servile. Looking at the county lady's constantly changing expressions, she cleared her throat.

"Princess Yiyang, do you think the Grand Princess would act impulsively due to momentary emotions?"

Whether it was the Princess Mingzhu whom she had met or the one she had heard about.

The eldest princess is calm, dignified and generous, and not someone who acts on impulse.

As her daughter, the Princess of Yiyang should know better, right?

The Yiyang County Lady raised her chin: "What do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

The maid ran to open the door, and the two of them subconsciously stopped talking.

The person who came was the waiter from the teahouse, who brought up a plate of dim sum.

The waiter didn't dare to look around. He put the tray on the table and quietly left.

The Yiyang County Lady curled her lips and said, "Try it. Tao Yi Ju's specialty is no worse than any other cake."

Fang Nanzhi was very unhappy with this smug tone.

Her eyes fell on the tray. The pineapple cakes had a crystal white crust, and the yellow filling inside could be seen through. They looked good.

However, Fang Nanzhi's nose moved and he seemed to smell the fragrance of medicine.

She gave Anmei a look, and the latter immediately took out a piece of dessert and placed it in front of the young lady.

Fang Nanzhi reached out and pried it open, now it was confirmed that drug had been added.

It really is a Hongmen Banquet. If she doesn't agree, the Princess of Yiyang will poison her?

She hesitated to move, and her expression was rather strange. The Yiyang County Lady was unhappy: "Why, are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Fang Nanzhi looked up and said nothing.

But the Yiyang County Lady took a piece of dessert and was about to put it in her mouth, as if she was eating it in front of her.

Fang Nanzhi was stunned. He was going to play such a big game, poisoning her and wanting to die together with her?

Not really? Not such a big grudge, right?

"County Lady, even if you can't let it go, you should at least think about the baby in your belly, right?"

Although she didn't take the pulse, the Yiyang County Lady's previous behavior clearly showed that she was pregnant.

I heard that she had been married for many years without having children, and it took a lot of effort for her to finally have one.

The Yiyang County Lady was suspicious: "What do you mean?"

Fang Nanzhi looked into her eyes and said, "If you take one bite of this poison, you'll end up with two dead bodies."

The Princess of Yiyang County reacted and her eyes fell on the snacks in her hand.

"You, stop exaggerating."

Although he spoke tough, he quickly threw the snacks back.

"Is this snack really poisonous?" Princess Yiyang couldn't help but ask.

Fang Nanzhi is now certain that the poison was not arranged by the county lord.

But Taoyiju is the county lord’s territory. Are they trying to frame the county lord by poisoning her here?

Or did he want her and the county lord to be poisoned to death together?

Fang Nanzhi didn't say anything, but the county lady believed it a little.

The Yiyang County Lady's expression turned grim. "Come here, call everyone over to me. I want to see who's so bold."

Fang Nanzhi thought the county lady was a little stupid. Even her territory could be poisoned, which meant it was no longer safe. She didn't want to leave quickly. What was the point of accusing her of crime at this time?

Before she could say anything, she heard a bang outside the door.

Then "bang bang bang!", the two large windows were closed without warning.

Fang Nanzhi just smelled the smell of oil, and then saw the flickering fire outside the door.

"No, they're trying to burn us to death."

Anmei reacted the fastest. She pushed the window hard, but it wouldn't move. She simply picked up a chair and smashed it.

"Bang!"

The chair broke into pieces and the window was finally opened.

But immediately afterwards, An Mei's figure flashed, and an arrow with sparks shot into the house.

"what!"

The arrow hit the tea table and the whole table caught fire.

The Princess of Yiyang County seemed to have just realized what was happening and screamed in fright.

Fang Nanzhi was disgusted, but still pulled her and made her squat in the corner, where she couldn't be seen from outside.

At the same time, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard outside.

It was obvious that Fang Nanzhi's secret guards were stopped by someone.

The other party came prepared, but it takes a lot of courage to carry out an assassination in broad daylight in the capital.

But she didn't have time to think about it, as smoke had already come in through the crack in the door and she felt her feet getting hot. The entire teahouse must have been burned.

Fang Nanzhi tried to tear a piece of cloth from her body, but she couldn't, so she asked the county lady's maid to help her.

Fang Nanzhi bent over and ran to the burning tea table. She used the tea she had not finished drinking to wet the cloth strip, tied it around her face, and covered her mouth and nose.

Then it was given to Anmei, Yiyang County Lady and her maid.

The Yiyang County Lady was horrified but still complained: "This cloth is so rough, will it scratch my face?"

Fang Nanzhi looked at her belly calmly.

Inhaling too much smoke is not only bad for adults, but also for children...

The Princess of Yiyang County understood her expression, her face turned pale, and she didn't care about being disgusted and quickly surrounded her.

Anmei was still approaching the window. She tentatively revealed her figure, and then two more arrows were shot out.

Feng noticed the situation at the window early in the morning. He wanted to fly over to deal with the two people who were shooting arrows from a distance, but he was surrounded by three people and couldn't get away at all.

Looking around, the Fang family was well prepared, having arranged more than a dozen guards, both openly and secretly. Together with the ones sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there were enough thirty people.

But the other party seemed to know this, and they sent more than fifty people, all of whom were agile, and only then were they able to stop them.

In the capital, at the feet of the emperor, so many killers were dispatched. Are the people behind this crazy?

Do you really not care about the dignity of the court at all?

Feng Yi was extremely anxious, but he was held tightly by someone and couldn't get away.

Behind him, a knife flashed, and Feng Yi did not dodge. He risked being injured and freed his hands to take something out of his arms.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking air was heard and a signal was sent out.

At the same time, Feng Yi groaned, and the knife had already penetrated the flesh.

"Master!"

An urgent shout rang out from the corner of the street.

Feng Yi only had time to take a look and saw that it seemed to be the young master of the Jin family. He rushed into the burning teahouse regardless of anything.

An assassin tried to stop him and shot a dart towards Jin Yunting's heart.

But they were stopped by someone, and the four secret guards of the Jin family were forced to show up and protect the young master.

Jin Yunting took advantage of the opportunity and rushed into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation.

The servant behind him stamped his feet anxiously, but there was nothing he could do. If something happened to the young master, he would not survive either, so he had to follow him in.

The Jin family's secret guards were anxious and wanted to bring the young master out.

But he was stopped by several assassins.

Anmei tried a few more times, but still failed.

"Miss, we can't go out through the window."

There was someone guarding the window, and the secret guards outside were unable to deal with the archers. If they went out from there, they would be sitting ducks.

Fang Nanzhi made a quick decision: "Then go through the door and go downstairs."

The teahouse has three floors, all built with fine wood. It looks luxurious on a normal day, but now, the wood can be burned.
