Xue Youli ran with Chu Xinyue for a short while before suddenly pulling the reins, "Whoa!"

Seeing this, Chu Xinyue asked in confusion, "Ali, they will definitely send people to chase after them. If we abandon our horses now, what if they catch up?"

Xue Youli looked up at the golden morning light and slowly narrowed her eyes. "By this time of day, the vendors should have all set up their stalls. The morning market on the street ahead is bustling with people. Riding a horse right there would not only attract attention, but also be slow. Let's have the horses gallop in the other direction to confuse the night crows."

Chu Xinyue held her chest with one hand and gave her a thumbs-up with the other. "I've always said that it's a waste of your talent to be fighting with a few women in the harem... ahem..."

"You must have suffered internal injuries. Talk less and save some energy!"

Xue Youli didn't delay and helped her walk towards the busiest street. "Given Night Crow's mind, since he hurt you, he will definitely have people search the clinic, so we can't stay nearby. Let's hire a carriage to go to Prince Kang's Mansion first!"

Chu Xinyue replied, "But Night Crow knows me. If I go back to Prince Kang's Mansion now, what if he brings people to look for me? Wouldn't that expose me?"

Xue Youli didn't care. "We are now playing an open game with Murong Ye. So what if we are exposed? Based on Night Crow's one-sided statement, can he really arrest the dignified Princess Kang and torture her in prison?"

Since they couldn't find any evidence against Murong Ye, they couldn't do anything to him.

Similarly, Murong Ye couldn't find any concrete evidence and couldn't do anything to them.

Besides, what was glorious about what he did in Xunhuanlou and the Charity Bureau?

Does he dare to say it openly?

No matter what, he is bound to suffer the loss this time!

They were all efficient and decisive people. After discussing how to deal with the situation, they immediately hired an inconspicuous carriage and headed to Prince Kang's Mansion.

Xue Youli always takes three steps ahead when doing things.

When she hired the carriage, she also spent ten taels of silver to hire an old woman to escort them along the carriage.

Not long after the carriage started driving, there was a commotion on the street.

"You almost hit my mother. You can't leave without an explanation today!"

"Young man, you almost hurt someone while riding your horse in the street, how dare you still be so disrespectful?"

"Our Jiuzhou laws stipulate that riding horses is not allowed in downtown areas. You have violated the laws of Jiuzhou. We can report you to the police and have you arrested!"

Hearing the noise outside, Xue Youli quietly lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and took a look outside.

They saw Night Crow riding on the horse they had just landed on, surrounded by a group of ordinary people.

Night Crow was in a hurry to chase people, but when he heard these old ladies blocking him from leaving, his face darkened, but he was helpless.

It was impossible for him to take action against these powerless people, so he could only take out his purse and sprinkle a handful of silver coins on the roadside.

"Think of these as medical expenses."

When the common people saw the silver, they rushed to the roadside to pick it up, and naturally no one stopped him.

He pulled the reins and prepared to leave when he accidentally caught sight of a carriage not far away. A hint of suspicion immediately crossed his eyes. "Who's in that carriage over there?"

The coachman was frightened by his cold gaze and quickly said something to the carriage.

The next moment, an old maid's face popped out of the carriage. "Who dares to stop my carriage? I'm in a hurry to get to Seventh Master's house to celebrate his 80th birthday! If you're late and can't make it to the banquet, I'll never forgive you!"

Night Crow looked at the old woman chattering non-stop and felt overwhelmed.

He quickly turned his horse around and left.

He still had a mission to complete and was too lazy to bother with these ordinary people.

When he passed by Xue Youli and her friends' carriage on horseback, he took another look in the direction of the carriage.

The old woman's round face was pressed against the car window. When she saw him looking at her, her eyes widened. "Hey, you're still glaring at me, right? Try glaring at me again. Do you believe I'll dig your eyeballs out and kick them like balls!"

Night Crow had never seen such an unreasonable old woman. He didn't even bother to say anything and just raised his whip and left.

As they heard the sound of horse hooves getting farther and farther away, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Great! I finally got rid of this trouble!

The carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Kang's Mansion without any obstruction.

"Thank you, Auntie."

After Xue Youli gave the silver, he helped Chu Xinyue get off the carriage.

As the two entered the gate of Prince Kang's Mansion, Chu Xinyue ordered the guard at the door, "Go to the clinic immediately and get me some medicine."

As she spoke, she reported the recipe Xue Youli had given to the guard, "Did you write it down?"

"I've got it. I'll go get the medicine right away!"

Xue Youli helped Chu Xinyue walk towards the bedroom. Seeing that Chu Xinyue's steps were unsteady, he said worriedly, "Ayue, when we get into the room later, take off your clothes so I can check if you have any other injuries."

"Ali, I'm in good health. This is just a minor injury..."

As Chu Xinyue was speaking, her body suddenly stiffened and she almost fell down.

Just as Xue Youli was about to pull her, a figure was already one step ahead of her and hugged Chu Xinyue.

"Ayue! Ayue!"

Murong Nan hugged Chu Xinyue tightly in his arms. Seeing that her eyes were closed and she had no reaction, he immediately looked up at Xue Youli, "What happened to Ah Yue?"

Xue Youli replied, "She's injured. Send her back to her room first. I'll check her injuries!"

Murong Nan picked up Chu Xinyue and carried her sideways, then quickly walked to the bedroom door.

He didn't have the hands to open the door, and didn't bother to call for help, so he kicked the door open.

After he put Chu Xinyue on the bed, he saw Xue Youli reaching out to untie Chu Xinyue's clothes. He quickly reached out to stop her, "Madam Xue, what are you doing?"

"Of course, it's to check if she has any other hidden injuries! If you can't help, just get out and don't get in the way!" Xue Youli said, then ignored him and lowered her head to continue taking Chu Xinyue's belt.

Murong Nan was also very worried about Chu Xinyue's safety. Seeing that she no longer paid attention to him, he whispered, "What do you need help with? I can do anything!"

"Have someone boil some water, wait for the herbs to be bought, and give Ah Yue a medicinal bath to invigorate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis!"

Murong Nan quickly said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"

After he left, Xue Youli took off Chu Xinyue's clothes, and a large bruise on her shoulder and chest was suddenly exposed to the air.

Especially the right shoulder was red and swollen. Xue Youli felt so distressed when she saw it that her nose was sore.

soy Mujer!

I asked her to hold Night Crow back, but she fought with others recklessly!

Xue Youli took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then took out the silver needles and gave her acupuncture.

Chu Xinyue was seriously injured and needed acupuncture treatment to help her recover as soon as possible.

Murong Ye has suffered several losses in a row and will definitely find ways to fight back. She has to help Chu Xinyue heal her injuries and be ready for a follow-up move at any time.

……

Prince Xian’s Mansion, study.

Night Crow knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his back straight. "I failed to complete the task, please punish me, Your Highness!"

Murong Ye glared at him, his handsome eyes cold and dark, even the teardrop mole at the end of his eye revealed a sinister look, "With your skills, you actually let them escape?"

"I am incompetent!" said Night Crow, lowering his head even more.

Murong Ye's face was surprisingly calm, and his deep voice couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. "Lift your head up."

Night Raven hesitated and slowly looked up.

A pair of bloodshot and red eyes suddenly fell on Murong Ye's eyes.

Although Night Crow had cleaned the chili powder off his face, his eyes were still burning and his vision was a little blurry.

Murong Ye looked at his embarrassed appearance, his brows tightened, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

A trace of embarrassment crossed Night Crow's face. "I was careless and fell into Concubine Xue's trap. The chili powder she sprinkled on me hurt my eyes."

Xue Youli?

It's her again!

This woman and Chu Xinyue are both big troubles.

After getting rid of Chu Xinyue, the next target will be Xue Youli!

Murong Ye's face was as gloomy as water. "Go find the palace doctor to check your eyes. As for Xue Youli, I will not let her have an easy time!"

Night Crow didn't leave immediately. He pondered in his mind for a moment and reported to Murong Ye, "Your Highness, Concubine Xue seems to know me. Today at the Charity Bureau, the moment she saw me, she blurted out my name."

"She knows you?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Ye's eyes showed a hint of thought.

The Night Crow rarely shows its true face. Even Xue Qingyao has never seen a Night Crow. Where did Xue Youli get the information about the Night Crow?

Could it be that Murong Che secretly investigated his people?

Murong Ye thought about it and only thought of this possibility, "I understand, you can go down."

"Yes!"

Not long after Night Crow left, the maid who was guarding Jiucai Hezi came hurriedly to report, "Your Highness, Miss Hezi has woken up. But she knows her face is disfigured and is throwing a tantrum. We are at our wit's end. Would you like to go and see her?"

When she said the last half of the sentence, her voice dropped.

Murong Ye suppressed the impatience in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

However, before he reached the door of the guest room, he heard the sound of something being smashed in the room from afar.

"Get out! All of you get out!"

Snapped!

Then, there was the sound of porcelain being smashed.

Murong Ye heaved a sigh of relief. The moment he stepped into the guest room, the impatient expression on his face disappeared without a trace. "Hezi, don't get angry. Otherwise, it will easily hurt the wound."

On the floor of the guest room, all the decorations such as mirrors and glass lamps that could reflect people's faces were smashed to pieces.

When Jiucai Hezi saw the person coming, the pain from his wound instantly turned into endless grievance. "Murong Sang, tell me, was my face burned by the fire? There's no way I can restore my original appearance, right?"

Murong Ye met her tearful eyes and quickly stepped forward to wipe away her tears. "Don't cry, I will find the best doctor and the best medicine to cure your face!"

Jiucai Hezi simply refused to listen to him. She raised her hand and touched her gauze-wrapped face, a glimmer of resentment in her eyes. "It was those two women! They ruined my face! Murong Sang, please help me! I want revenge!"
