Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

She screamed in pain and her face turned pale instantly. Xiao Ze immediately felt the warm and sticky feeling on his hand.

He was startled and suddenly loosened his hand. The bloodstain on the palm of his hand was so obvious.

Is she hurt?

Feng Xili's eyes were red, and she sobbed as she accused him, "General Xiao is so overbearing. I was injured and wanted to buy medicine, but I was questioned like this?"

"What makes you think that everyone who bought medicine today is a suspect? Can't someone who isn't sick or in pain prepare some herbs just in case?"

After she finished speaking, tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks, and everyone around her was stunned.

That makes sense!

Xiao Ze angrily scolded him, "Stop making up stories! Can you bear the responsibility for delaying the capture of the spy?"

"Go upstairs!" He ignored her and led his troops up to the second floor.

She looked dimly at the crowd of people pressing up the stairs, hoping Kang Jue would have time to prepare.

There were only two private rooms on the second floor occupied, and the third floor was empty.

Xiao Ze pushed the door open and walked in. A man and a woman in the private room looked at him in horror. They were standing far away from each other, looking very serious, and the food on the table was hardly touched.

He glanced at the two of them with cold eyes, disgust flashing in them.

"General, there's nothing unusual." The soldier reported after the search.

His eyes were dark. Mu Lanxun should have received the news, but why did he not show up yet?

"Go on." He walked towards a box next to him with the door closed.

"Waiter! Bring me some wine!" As soon as he approached, the door opened instantly and a staggering man shouted towards the outside of the door. The strong smell of alcohol sprayed all over Xiao Ze's face.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and he almost slapped him with a palm.

The soldier outside the door covered his nose and pushed the man in. The table inside the room was a mess, and all the food and wine had been eaten up. It was obvious that they had been eating and drinking for a while.

There was a person sitting at the table, with his chin supported by one hand and his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

A fierce look flashed in Xiao Ze's eyes, Mu Lanxun!

He slipped in and stopped in front of Mu Lanxun. His face was slightly red, perhaps because he was too drunk.

"Huh? Why did you come in? Where's the wine?" The staggering man at the door pointed at him, as if he didn't know etiquette.

He was then escorted out by the soldiers at the door, shouting, "What are you doing? Let go! Do you know who's in there?"

Then there was silence.

"Mr. Mu, Xiao needs to go through some routine procedures and ask some questions. I hope you can cooperate."

Xiao Ze appeared polite, but his tone was full of disdain.

After waiting for a while, the man with his chin supported by his hand showed no sign of opening his eyes. Seeing this, he stopped pretending and reached out to push him.

Her closed eyes suddenly opened, and the hand that was supporting her chin grabbed his arm, without a trace of confusion in her eyes.

"General Xiao, would you like to have a drink with us?" Mu Lanxun's voice was hoarse, and it was unclear whether it was because he drank too much, but his slightly tipsy tone was frivolous.

Xiao Ze shook off his hand and looked at him inconspicuously. His navy blue brocade robe was spotless. Although his eyes were clear, they were still tinged with a hint of haziness, and the aroma of wine was strong around him.

The hand he had just gripped hers was steady and strong, not like that of someone who had been injured and had traveled a long distance.

"Mr. Mu, you're joking. How could I, Xiao, be so drunk that I could make mistakes while on duty?" Was he really wrong? Unwilling to accept this, he kept scanning Mu Lanxun's body.

After hearing this, Mu Lanxun sneered rudely: "General Xiao, are you really drunk? Are you carrying out your official duties in my private room?"

"Besides the food and wine, is there anything else here that General Xiao should be concerned about?" Mu Lanxun stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes.

Their eyes met in the air. Facing Mu Lanxun's naked provocation, Xiao Ze suddenly attacked his chest.

Mu Lanxun made a move to block, and in the blink of an eye, the two had fought for more than ten rounds.

Xiao Ze was shocked. This guy is really a hidden talent.

He quickly retreated, cupping his fists and apologetically saying, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master Mu. This is a serious matter, and I had no choice but to intervene."

Mu Lanxun stared at him coldly, then suddenly smiled brightly.

"In that case, I won't delay you from doing your business any longer." Mu Lanxun bowed, looking arrogant as if he could live another 500 years.

Feng Xili waited nervously downstairs. In order to hide her anxiety, she sat at the door, put out the crystal date cakes bought by Lai Xiang, and ate them piece by piece.

Seeing Xiao Ze coming down the stairs with a gloomy face, she felt happy, thinking that Kang Jue had figured it out.

She rushed forward, stretched out a hand in front of him, and deliberately shouted at Xiao Ze: "General Xiao hurt me, you have to pay me for a few days of medical expenses!"

Xiao Ze's eyelids twitched violently, "How did I hurt you? You hurt yourself, how can you blame me?"

This shameless and stingy woman, it’s just a few pills, it’s not like she can’t afford it!

Feng Xili opened her eyes wide, and soon they were filled with tears. She looked at him as if he were a heartless man, and rubbed her eyes while crying.

"My wound opened again because of you. How should I handle this? Being injured is painful enough for a woman, and you even ravaged my wound. So many people around us saw it, and you still want to deny it?"

Feng Xili stood in front of him without holding back a word, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her sleeves stained with blood, and she was being swung around by him vigorously.

Xiao Ze did not tear off Mu Lanxun's mask in front of her. He was already furious, and now he encountered her unreasonable behavior. He looked at her with a cold and piercing look.

This woman is absolutely incompatible with him. Her mother is unlucky for his father, and she is unlucky for him. She is simply a born jinx. Whenever he meets her when doing things, nothing can be accomplished.

He felt annoyed when he saw her. He stopped talking, took out a tael of silver from his pocket, threw it to her, and turned away.

unlucky!

As a result, Feng Xili grabbed his sleeve again and said, "You are sending away beggars!"

He was furious. It was strange. After breaking off the engagement, why did she always have the ability to annoy him multiple times?

Where has the gentle, soft-spoken, and cuddly Xixi gone?

"One tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family's expenses for a month! Do you think it's not enough?" He gritted his teeth.

"You also said that I am an ordinary citizen, but I am not. I come from the prime minister's family." She pointed at herself with her delicate index finger and continued speaking.

"Some time ago, my father asked the Emperor to send two imperial physicians to treat me. You must know that, right?" She spoke softly, clearly threatening him.

He really didn't know. At that time, he was investigating the unrest at the border. Who had the time to pay attention to who treated her?

Not wanting to argue any further, he threw his entire purse to her, "That's enough!"

She vaguely saw the darkness on his face spread to his whole body, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "General, you are so generous. Thank you very much."

"Let's go!" Xiao Ze shouted loudly, and most of the people in the lobby on the first floor left in a hurry, leaving only a few diners standing there timidly.

As soon as Xiao Ze left, Feng Xili fell on the chair with a pale face.

It hurts so much. Xiao Ze is really rude. Doesn't he know how strong a general's hand is? He pinched her wound like that.

After enduring for most of the day, he finally left.

She sat for a long time, then stood up with the help of the table. A servant came up behind her and said respectfully, "Miss, the Prime Minister wants you to go home immediately."
