Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Xie Qingli felt the hand pinching her neck becoming softer and softer. Her eyes flickered and a sound like the gurgling of a spring rang out: "The knight has been poisoned by the muscle softening powder, and I happen to have the antidote. How about you let me go?"

Chu Yuncang pursed his lips. It would be great if he could detoxify quickly. He certainly didn't want to be a useless person at the mercy of others. But why did this young man happen to be hiding in the Yunlai Inn, and why did he happen to have the antidote? Was this also a conspiracy?

In Chu Yuncang's dream, the Yunlai Inn was an ominous place, one he had no desire to visit. However, Liuguang's smoke bombs didn't hold back for long. The black-clad assassins quickly caught up with them. The shadow guards fought desperately, but were woefully outnumbered. Liuguang carried him and fled, but amidst the constant patrols of the guards and the relentless pursuit of the black-clad assassins, Liuguang desperately needed help, so he hid him in this deserted inn room. Was this person just waiting here?

Chu Yuncang's hesitation disappointed Xie Qingli. If this man really was the Crown Prince, with such an indecisive personality, it was no wonder he was killed so early in his previous life. What a waste of such a peerless and extraordinary face. Alas, it seemed that if he wanted to break the deadlock, he couldn't rely on the Crown Prince; he had to find another way.

Xie Qingli jumped up and easily got rid of Chu Yuncang's shackles. She was a martial arts expert, and even the strong and healthy Chu Yuncang might not be her opponent, let alone the weak and powerless Chu Yuncang?

Chu Yuncang was slightly stunned. This young man actually knew martial arts? Why didn't he resist just now?

Without waiting for Chu Yuncang to react, Xie Qingli quickly took out a pill and stuffed it into Chu Yuncang's mouth. Then he lifted his jaw and tapped it lightly, and the pill slid into Chu Yuncang's stomach.

Xie Qingli carried the antidote for the muscle softening powder with her. It was originally prepared for disciplining Han Jue. That time, she punished Han Jue by making him sit on a chair for a whole day with his whole body sore. The effect was excellent. She planned to punish Han Jue every time he disobeyed her discipline.

Xie Qingli hadn't expected that by accident today, the antidote would actually be used on Chu Yuncang. She sighed and thought, "Never mind. Even if Chu Yuncang was a useless piece, saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. She was doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

Chu Yuncang was still hesitating whether to take the boy's antidote, so the boy forced him to take the pill. He suddenly became murderous and stretched out his hand to attack the boy's heart.

Xie Qingli chuckled softly. Such a soft palm power was trying to hurt her, she looked like an innocent little white rabbit. She easily dodged Chu Yuncang's attack and playfully activated his Ren and Du meridians, instantly immobilizing him. Memories of being controlled by the strange Taoist priests with talismans in his dream flooded back into his mind. Chu Yuncang's face darkened as he felt his anger soar.

Xie Qingli stroked her face, not caring about Chu Yuncang's anger at all. People in the royal family have always been high and mighty, and they certainly don't like being manipulated like this. Fortunately, she has changed her appearance and can do whatever she wants without restraint.

However, Xie Qingli lingered in the Yunlai Inn just for Chu Yuncang. Although she guessed that the person in front of her was Chu Yuncang, tomorrow was the Cold Food Festival. Chu Yuncang's appearance here today was inconsistent with the rumors in her previous life, so she wanted to confirm it again.

Xie Qingli's dark eyes rolled around, and he patted Chu Yuncang on the shoulder, saying casually, "Knight, do you know what you just ate? To be honest, it's a rare and excellent medicine passed down from my family. It was made by a poison doctor who was famous in the martial arts world when my grandfather was wandering around. This medicine is not comparable to those crudely made pills."

Chu Yuncang said impatiently: "What poison doctor? I've never heard of it. What do you want?"

Xie Qingli chuckled, twisted his fingers and said, "Of course, I'm going to collect some interest to make up for my losses."

Such a sweet and melodious voice, but the meaning it expressed was so mercenary, as if a pearl willingly got itself mired in mud, disgusted Chu Yuncang. He asked in a cold voice, "How much silver do you want?"

Xie Qingli smiled and said, "That depends on how much the knight has brought." Before she could finish, her delicate, boneless hands, like a slippery loach, began to grope Chu Yuncang's body. The two were so close, their breaths intertwined. Chu Yuncang stiffened slightly. He hated being touched. This was the first time since his enlightenment that someone had come so close.

A jade pendant slipped out from Chu Yuncang's arms. Xie Qingli grabbed the jade pendant and held it up to the moonlight. The jade pendant was made of white jade with a warm color, delicate texture, and comfortable touch. It was engraved with majestic and domineering dragon patterns, which was the symbol of the Dongling royal family.

Xie Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, certain that this person was Chu Yuncang without a doubt. However, he stuffed the jade pendant back with a look of disdain and continued to search Chu Yuncang's body. Chu Yuncang pursed his lips, feeling a little relieved. He was really afraid that this ignorant kid would steal his jade pendant and do something daring with it.

"Click! Click!"

There were two slight noises, and the door opened and closed quickly, and a figure flashed in. The two people in the room were startled, as they hadn't heard anyone approaching.

Zou Ping stepped aside, his eyes widening in shock at the scene before him. He saw the young lady, dressed like a young gentleman, groping a man, who lay obediently on the ground, showing no sign of resistance. Both of them were bathed in silver moonlight, standing out in the pitch-black room.

"Uncle Ping?" Xie Qingli called softly towards the door.

Zou Ping calmed himself down and replied in a low voice, "Sir, it's the old servant." He thought to himself that he would remind the young lady to pay attention to the distinction between men and women someday, as women usually suffer in such matters.

Xie Qingli asked softly, "You're finally back. That's great. How's it going out there?"

Zou Ping replied in a low voice, "The inn has been surrounded by a group of soldiers, and they are searching every room. I see that those people don't look like government guards, but more like soldiers from the military camp. They are very rude, so it's best for you to stay away from them!"

A faint noise could be heard.

Xie Qingli frowned slightly and said to Chu Yuncang firmly: "We are here to arrest you!" It turned out that the government was colluding with the garrison. No wonder Chu Yuncang died in his previous life.

Chu Yuncang's eyes turned cold. Prefect Huang Dai naturally had no authority to mobilize the garrison. Since the garrison had come to search with such fanfare, it must mean that there was something fishy about the Southwest Army's commander, Cai Zhen. This time, Brother Tingyu had trusted the wrong person. Were they so brazenly acting because they were sure he wouldn't escape?

The situation was urgent, not the time for joking. Xie Qingli quickly unblocked Chu Yuncang's acupuncture points and said, "Take my antidote. It will completely detoxify you in half an incense stick of time. Can you please see if you have regained some strength?"

Chu Yuncang clenched his fists, his strength having recovered 20% to 30%. He was slightly surprised. The young man hadn't lied. This antidote was indeed unusual. Even the antidote prepared by the Crown Prince's physician would take two hours to take effect.

Chu Yuncang bowed to Xie Qingli and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve: "Thank you for the medicine, young master. I don't want to implicate you two, so I will leave immediately. This is to compensate you for the medicine..."

Xie Qingli interrupted Chu Yuncang: "It's already late, and you're still talking about this. There's no other way to escape here except climbing onto the roof. Are you sure you're in good health? If you get caught, we'll be implicated as well."

Chu Yuncang frowned slightly. His body was indeed not strong enough to perform Qinggong. He wondered why Liuguang hadn't come to help him yet?
