Beichengmang Town, Beisha City.

A large and luxurious four-story mansion sits on the outskirts of Mang Town. While remote, it's conveniently located, with a bluestone road leading directly out the front door. A half-hour walk along the main road will take you to the center of Beisha City.

Two marble lions, each as tall as an adult man, sat before the vermilion gate, imposing and majestic. At this moment, the gate was open, and two guards stood before it, their expressions solemn and serious, creating a sense of distance, as if to say, "No strangers allowed!"

Behind the hanging flower gate are two long corridors. The inner courtyard is spacious and elegant, with two mature and well-trimmed crabapple trees planted in front of the courtyard.

The inner courtyard is flanked by east and west wing rooms, and behind the main house is a spacious and picturesque back garden. Although it is winter, the back garden is still beautiful even under the blanket of snow.

The garden after the snow is full of ice sculptures, jade bricks, white flowers and beautiful trees. The sunlight shines down, and the whole place is full of brilliance, crystal clear and beautiful.

There are two unique and quiet courtyards on both sides of the back garden.

While this Biluo Courtyard may not rival the noble residences of the capital, it is truly one-of-a-kind in Mang Town, Beisha City. Ever since its completion three years ago, countless Mang Town residents have flocked to admire and discuss the magnificent mansion, speculating about who might reside there.

Shu He got up early and took a look around the magnificent courtyard, feeling speechless.

Is Baili Moqing really exiled? Why does it feel like he's here to escape from the world?

This environment and living conditions are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people! If it weren't for the exile notices plastered all over Apocalypse, I'm afraid no one would believe that Baili Moqing was an exile.

"Master, what exactly is Shen Chuan planning? Why did he suddenly mobilize his troops to attack Mangshan? And why did he send so many Northern Di soldiers to disguise themselves as bandits?"

Nanqi was puzzled and always felt that there was something unusual about this matter.

Beiji had received a hundred military sticks yesterday, and his back was now rotten. But he still stood straight, his dark robe framing his figure with an air of exceptional tallness and valor. It was only his pale face that made him appear a bit frail.

"For the prince."

"Hmm?" Nanqi looked at Beiji and understood immediately, "You mean, Shen Chuan knows the master's itinerary?"

"How could such a coincidence happen in this world? As soon as the prince returned, the Northern Di army dispatched troops to Mangshan. They also sent Northern Di soldiers disguised as bandits to start bandit riots in the east and south of the city. Isn't it just to divert all the military forces away from Beisha City?"

"But there are only a few cavalrymen invading the north of the city. Why doesn't Shen Chuan take this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack?" Nanqi was puzzled.

The city of Beisha is empty now. Isn't this a good opportunity to attack?

Now that the defense army and the Chengfeng army have all returned, wouldn’t he be asking for trouble if he issues another challenge?

"I think that yesterday's series of actions were actually a cover, and their purpose should be for the prince."

Beiji stood to one side, watching the man sitting back in his wheelchair with a calm expression, and had some guesses in his mind. But he didn't dare to say it.

Noticing Beiji's gaze, Baili Moqing put down the book and said, "Don't worry. Although he is ambitious, he won't do anything that would betray his country. At most, he will just make a reasonable deal."

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It is expected that Lao Jiu would go to Shen Chuan for cooperation in order to kill him.

Beiji nodded slightly, understanding what he meant.

Nan Qi, who was standing next to him, seemed a little confused. "Who is 'he'?"

Prince Nanyu? Was it Prince Nanyu who was secretly colluding with Shen Chuan to take his master's life?

Nanqi had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't confident enough to be sure.

Bei Ji glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

"Who's outside?" Bei Ji noticed the commotion outside and spoke sternly.

Just as Shu He was about to run, he saw a black figure blocking his way.

Looking up, he saw Beiji's pale and stern face. His dangerous eyes stared at him like a beast ready to attack at any time.

The corner of her mouth curled up into a shy smile, and she patted his shoulder gently, "Brother Beiji, it's me! Relax, your body, if you tense up any longer, you'll bleed too much!"

Then, she took out a bottle of medicine. "This is the best medicine I made yesterday. There's still some left. Take it and you'll be fully healed in three days!"

Beiji was stunned, not knowing how to put the danger and vigilance on his face.

He took the medicine bottle in a daze, and his ears turned slightly red. "Thank you very much, Madam He."

Shu He smiled and nodded, his eyes lingering on Bei Ji for a while.

Putting aside other things, the people around Baili Moqing are all really good-looking!

Besides himself, Nanqi and Beiji both had top-notch temperaments! Especially Beiji, who was handsome, shy, gentle, modest, and polite. He looked like a gentle and graceful young man from an aristocratic family! Compared to that chatterbox Nanqi, he was so much better!

Shu He is not praising one and criticizing the other, he is mainly stating the facts!

I heard that there are also Xizhu and Zhenli. These four are Baili Moqing’s four vanguard generals. I wonder if the other two are also so handsome?

If that's true, it would be pretty cool to see such an eye-catching man every day!

Wait a minute, why does Baili Moqing have such handsome men around him? In such a large yard, there is not even a woman to be seen.

Could it be...

Baili Moqing had no idea what she was thinking. He just sat in the wheelchair, taking in the woman's eyes and expression as she looked at Bei Ji. A hint of sneer flashed through his mind.

Women, that's all.

"What are you doing here?" He couldn't bear to watch, and his voice suddenly dropped, expressing his dissatisfaction. "The study is a restricted area. No one can enter without my permission. Don't you know that?"

Hearing that cold voice, Shu He's newly built good mood was ruined. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and strode into the study.

"I didn't go in. I was waiting outside."

Baili Moqing's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at her, now standing in front of the desk, as if to say, "Didn't go in? Then where are you now?"

Shu He received his question and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I came in just because you were talking. I came to see how you were doing."

Without waiting for his consent, she walked straight to the wheelchair and pressed his wrist. The cold touch startled her.

Sure enough, once the cold air was released, it was no longer so easy to suppress.

The cold air that had just been sealed yesterday was now dissipating.

"I'll have to give you another injection at noon."

From now on, I'm afraid I'll have to use acupuncture to reinforce the seal every day.

Shu He felt a bit of a headache, and then asked Xiang Beiji, "Have you prepared all the materials for this Wujihan Poison?"

"It's ready. Someone will deliver it to your yard later."

Shu He nodded. "There are a few very important herbs. I'll write them down for you. You must find them all as soon as possible!"

"Yes."

Beiji responded respectfully.

He is extremely concerned about the prince's health.

Previously, he had no favorable impression of Lady He, always feeling that Nanqi described her as a charlatan. After all, how could the world's number one cold poison be so easily suppressed? And by a woman at that! She was not only skilled in medicine, but also in cooking, and her cooking was said to be delicious, which was even more unbelievable.

In this world, some people are already exhausted just by specializing in medicine, so how can they have the energy to study other things?

It wasn't until he saw her help the prince stand up and even fight the extraordinary Situ Gu'ao without losing that he knew he was wrong! This Lady He was truly powerful! The prince could truly be saved!

As long as the prince can be saved and he can return to the "King of Dongli" he once was, Beiji is willing to spend his entire life to make this happen!

Naturally, he had to respect the prince's savior.

Shu He looked at Bei Ji and couldn't help but curl her lips. This man was really good-looking. She really had no resistance to this kind of gentle and elegant man.

But a cold gaze from behind her once again broke her good mood.

She turned around and saw Baili Moqing staring at her with an unhappy look.

Hiding her admiration on her face, she flashed a sly look in her eyes as she said to Baili Moqing, "The cold air is now trapped in your lower abdomen. Don't think about anything else these few days!"

After Shu He finished speaking, she secretly glanced at his expression. Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, she added, "Men can't do it either! Because, they can't stand up."

Seeing that he suddenly came to his senses and his expression became more and more ugly, Shu He slipped away.

Nanqi was a little confused and didn't understand.

Beiji was stunned for a moment, then his face looked extremely ugly.

"presumptuous!!"

With an ice-cold roar, Baili Moqing slammed the book in his hand onto the desk. With a "bang", the pen holder and documents on the desk fell to the ground, making a "clattering" sound.

They all knelt down at the same time, not daring to show any expression on their faces.
