A storm is brewing in the palace, and the Jiang residence is also in turmoil.

The man in black lifted the tiles on the roof of Lanyue Pavilion.

There was mist lingering below. Jiang Yueyang was soaking in a bathtub filled with flower petals, gently wiping her fair and creamy skin.

The man in black's pupils trembled, he suddenly looked away, and the tips of his ears turned red.

The sound of dripping water continued to be heard, accompanied by the singing of a young girl.

The man in black looked up at the silver moon in the sky, letting the breeze blow away the heat on his face.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yueyang came out of the bathtub.

The man in black heard the sound of bare feet stepping on the ground and the sound of water droplets falling.

Then, there was the rustling sound of someone getting dressed.

"who?"

Qingzhi, who had changed into women's clothes, looked up inadvertently and saw the man in black on the roof. He then drew the soft sword at his waist and jumped onto the roof with his lightness skills.

Jiang Yueyang was startled. She quickly put on her clothes and ran out. Xiangling, who was waiting outside, hurriedly put a cloak on her.

Qingzhi and the man in black were already fighting on the roof, with tiles broken all over the floor.

The servants in the mansion heard the noise and rushed over, but they could only watch from below because they didn't know how to perform light work.

Jiang Yueyang frowned and looked at the man in black. Did her father offend anyone outside recently?

Qingzhi glanced at the unsheathed sword in the black-clothed man's hand, feeling annoyed, and his attack became more fierce.

Jiang Yueyang, who had watched countless martial arts films, knew that Qingzhi was no match for the man in black when he saw his relaxed look.

Moreover, the man in black was always on the defensive and tried to escape when he found an opportunity.

However, Qingzhi kept chasing him and the man in black couldn't get away for a while.

After a while, Jiang Xun also heard the noise and came over.

He first checked Jiang Yueyang's condition. Seeing that she was fine, he flew to the roof and joined Qingzhi in dealing with the man in black.

"elder brother!"

Jiang Yueyang saw him flying up and shouted worriedly.

Because of Jiang Yueyang's special situation, Minister Jiang hired a martial arts master to teach Jiang Xun martial arts since he was a child.

Jiang Xun also studied very hard and now his martial arts skills are very good.

With Jiang Xun's joining, it became even more difficult for the men in black to escape.

Then, Jiang Yueyang saw the black-clothed man's eyes change color, and he began to deal with Qingzhi and Jiang Xun seriously.

After a while, the two were at a disadvantage.

The man in black slapped Qingzhi on the right shoulder, and Qingzhi fell from the roof.

"Qingzhi." Jiang Yueyang subconsciously stepped forward to check her injuries.

"Girl, don't come over here."

Before he finished speaking, Qingzhi had already jumped up by supporting himself on the ground.

Over there, after Jiang Xun exchanged two moves with the man in black, the hilt of the unsheathed sword in the man's hand went towards Jiang Xun's chest.

However, when he was about to fall, the man in black restrained his strength, glanced at Jiang Yueyang, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Qingzhi wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Jiang Xun and Jiang Yueyang.

They were no match for the man in black and could not catch up with him at all. Even if they did, they could not catch him.

Moreover, the men in black did not seem to be here to harm them.

Jiang Xun came down from the roof, and Jiang Yueyang asked worriedly, "Brother, are you hurt?"

"No, the man in black didn't mean to hurt me."

"Qingzhi, how are you?" Jiang Yueyang asked, looking over at Jiang Xun.

"I'm fine."

Although he said that, Qingzhi's face was very pale and his right arm seemed unable to move.

"Don't be so stubborn." Jiang Yueyang turned to look at the servants in the mansion, "Go get the doctor."

"Yes." A servant responded and ran away.

At this time, Minister Jiang and his wife hurried over, with disheveled hair and untied clothes.

"Yangyang, Yangyang." The couple walked through the corridor calling Jiang Yueyang's name.

"Dad, Mom, I'm fine, go slow."

How could they slow down? They wished they could fly over there directly.

Only when they saw their daughter standing there unharmed did the couple breathe a sigh of relief.

Minister Jiang asked, "Why are there men in black? Are they coming for Yangyang?"

Jiang Xun shook his head. "I don't know, but judging from his fight with the man in black, he didn't intend to hurt anyone."

"How to say?"

"The man in black is very skilled in martial arts. Qingzhi and I together are no match for him."

Minister Jiang frowned, "You mean, the men in black can easily kill you?"

Although they were reluctant to admit it, Qingzhi and Jiang Xun nodded hesitantly.

"Why would such a powerful person suddenly target our family?"

"Could it be..."

Minister Jiang raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Xun, "No, not really."

What happened in the palace today, apart from what concerned His Majesty, was nothing more than Yangyang exposing the temper of the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, which would not lead to such consequences.

The old man, the Minister of Rites, is not stupid.

Why did the man in black visit their house?

Could it be that I've come to the wrong place?

Jiang Yueyang's eyebrows moved and she released the system.

[Xiaogua, do you know who the man in black was just now? ]

Everyone present pricked up their ears and listened silently.

[Men in black? What men in black? I'm blocked, so I can't get the relevant data.]

【ah……】

Everyone present was disappointed. Minister Jiang said, "Yangyang, Dad will arrange for a few more guards to come to your house. Xiangling, Qingzhi, you two should be more alert."

"Yes."

The scene shifts to the other side. After the man in black came out of Jiang's house, he walked along the roofs of the streets all the way to a big house.

A man walked out of the darkness and knelt on one knee in front of the man in black, "Sir."

"How many days will it take them to arrive?"

"It will probably take another ten days."

The man in black walked into the house, and the man stood up and followed him.

"Go and secretly investigate the family of the Minister of Revenue, especially that Miss Jiang."

Why are the emperor's secret guards following her?

The man didn't ask why, but replied respectfully, "Yes."

The man in black pushed open the door of a room and walked in.

There is a painting hanging on the wall. In the painting, a man and a woman are smiling at each other, with deep love in their eyes.

A bloodstained suit of armor was placed on one side of the portrait. The man in black raised his hand and brushed across the blood that had already solidified on the armor, his eyes instantly filled with hostility.

"Sir, what are the arrangements for Qingge and the others next?"

"Proceed as planned." The man in black paused, "Arrange someone to enter the Jiang Mansion and report Miss Jiang's whereabouts to me at any time."

"Who will be assigned?"

"Ling Feng."

At this time in the palace, Emperor Yuan ordered Concubine Wan to be banished to the cold palace. Imperial Physician Lu, whose poor medical skills led to the Empress's headaches being exacerbated by the incorrect medication, was punished with fifty strokes of the cane and expelled from the palace.

No one knew that Doctor Lu was secretly executed by the emperor's secret guards after returning home.
