Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

The two were very alert and immediately hid deep in the dense forest, keeping silent and observing secretly.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, without a sound at all, only the mottled shadows of the trees cast by the moonlight.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the branches shook with a slight whimpering sound, which was chilling.

Looking again, the branches shrouded in darkness were like outstretched arms, with their branches spread out like bloody mouths, as if they were about to swallow everything in the next moment.

Li Tian shuddered with fear: "Brother Gui, why don't we go back first! I'm afraid we'll run into a ghost before meeting a human!"

"Look at your worthless look!"

"No, Brother Gui, I heard that the place where this official post is located was once an ancient battlefield, with corpses everywhere and a very gloomy aura!

I stared for a long time, but there was no one there. It scared me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat!

Wang Gui still looked around vigilantly, but still found nothing.

"Well, let's go back first! Don't forget your mission!"

"How can that be? Let's go!"

After saying that, the two of them tiptoed back.

But they didn't know that after they left, a black shadow gently fell from the tree branch, easily crossed the wall of the post station, and disappeared into a main room in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, another figure, like a ghost, flashed to the roof of the main house and moved a small corner of the roof tiles without anyone noticing.

At this moment, an oil lamp was lit in the main room of the post station, and the light was a little dim.

"My Lord, as you expected, the messenger Wang Gui is indeed the King of Qin's man."

Xiao Heng, leaning on the carved wooden wheelchair, pursed his thin lips and curled up a smile.

Secret Guard Yun Yi continued, "The Qin Prince's mansion was robbed, and the Qin Prince traced the theft back to the former princess, Miss Shen. He ordered Wang Gui and his men to find out if Miss Shen had a red sandalwood box."

"My third brother is as suspicious as ever. How are the people from the Shen family doing today?"

Third brother? He was called Xiao Mo Third Brother, so this young man was a prince? Was there any other prince she hadn't seen before? Could he be the fifth prince, Xiao Heng, whom her father had mentioned, the one who rarely appeared in public?

Shen Qingge, lying on the roof, was somewhat shocked, but also felt it was within her expectations. She had previously suspected that this noble young man was a member of the royal family. However, the Fifth Prince's presence was so low that she hadn't remembered it for a moment.

What was the Fifth Prince trying to do? Why was he trying to find out about the Qin Palace? Why was he also paying attention to her Shen family?

Shen Qingge was completely confused and felt that there were many doubts, so he decided to continue listening.

So she adjusted her posture, crawled lower, and put her ears close to the tiles.

Inside the house, Yun Yi half-bent his body and thought for a while, then hesitantly said:

"Today, the officers have deliberately approached the Shen family several times. However, Miss Shen seems unfazed and has actively accepted the officers' advances. I'm sorry, I'm incompetent and cannot fathom Miss Shen's intentions.

By doing this, isn't she clearly putting the Shen family in an isolated and helpless situation, making the other families hate her? "

"Do you think that if she doesn't accept it, the other exiles won't hate her family? Perhaps she wants to do the opposite, using the other's strength to counter the other's, so that these noble families will be wary of the Shen family!"

After saying this, Xiao Heng closed his eyes slightly, his expression nonchalant, and gently supported his chin with his hand, his fingers slender and white.

Yun Yi asked doubtfully, "Is Miss Shen really that smart?"

"Then let's wait and see, is he really stupid, or is he just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? If he is really stupid, I can help him secretly, ahem..."

Suddenly, Xiao Heng felt a sharp pain in his chest, his throat felt dry, he couldn't stop coughing, and beads of sweat the size of beans instantly seeped out from between his brows.

A fishy-sweet taste appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood uncontrollably.

"My Lord, Your Highness..." Yun Yi was confused for a moment.

Xiao Heng endured the severe pain, took out a small and exquisite bean green porcelain bottle from his sleeve, took out a pill and swallowed it immediately.

After a moment, a hint of red appeared on his pale face.

After calming down, he looked down at his left wrist, and saw that the green lines on his wrist, which were originally faintly visible, had become a little clearer, and a pistil shaped like a crabapple suddenly appeared.

Yun Yi beside him panicked: "The Seven-Star Begonia's poison has recurred! Your Majesty, you can't wait any longer, let's speed up and head south..."

"Crack!"

Perhaps because the news was too exciting, Shen Qingge's foot accidentally touched a tile, making a slight sound.

Xiao Heng immediately blew out the oil lamp beside him and whispered, "Shh... go to the roof and take a look!"

Shen Qingge on the roof also teleported immediately and hid beside a haystack in front of the yard.

Perhaps nourished by the spiritual energy in the jade pendant space, her ability to teleport is improving day by day.

After seeing the secret guard Yun Yi return to the main room with nothing, Shen Qingge also returned to his own room.

Tired from days of running around, the family members were all in a deep sleep.

Shen Qingge carefully lifted the quilt and crawled in, afraid of disturbing others.

She closed her eyes, thinking over and over again, unable to fall asleep.

She thought of everything that had just happened and felt a strange irritation. This emotion made it impossible for her to lie still, so she sat up straight and drank two sips of water. Then she leaned against the wall behind her, closed her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

It turned out that what King Qin Xiao Mo wanted was the rosewood box that she had never been able to open before. That made it easy because he would never be able to find it.

But if these officials still can't find what they want from her, then the Shen family will have nothing left, and they will definitely get rid of her as soon as possible.

If that really comes to the point, there is no need for her to be soft-hearted. She will kill one by one, and kill two by two.

And as for the Fifth Prince in that room, I had only heard from my father that he was weak, but now it seems that he is not only weak, but also poisoned!

Begonia?

This poison must be vicious and cruel. The Fifth Prince's legs do not look deformed, but he is now in a wheelchair. This is probably related to the erosion of the poison. Moreover, the poison must be like a cancer attached to the bone, which has tortured him for a long time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pity. Although he was a prince, he still couldn't control his own destiny. It was like walking on thin ice, which was tragic and lamentable.

The Fifth Prince was still young and had not yet been granted a fiefdom, so he had no title. What was he doing heading south? Was he heading to his fiefdom, or was he seeking medical advice?

Moreover, the fifth prince seemed to care about the Shen family very much, and was well aware of her behavior. He was also very smart and could see through her thoughts.

What exactly does he want from the Shen family? Are they friends or enemies?

A series of question marks made Shen Qingge's head hurt a little.

She kept recalling in her mind, but she could not find any connection between the Shen family and the fifth prince!

However, she listened to the conversation between the two just now, and it seemed that the Fifth Prince had no ill will towards the Shen family, and was even willing to make an effort to get along with them. This proved that at least the Fifth Prince was not an enemy at the moment, or rather, they had a common enemy.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingge finally breathed a sigh of relief. A wave of drowsiness came over her, and she immediately fell asleep.
