After Mo Yunting left, Su Qingli fell into a chair and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand. A warm feeling spread throughout her body. Although she spit out the daughter fragrance, the medicine was too strong. Just a little contact with it made her mind waver.

"Miss Su, are you okay?" Xuan Yi asked when he saw Su Qingli's flushed face and sweat.

"It's okay." Su Qingli gritted her teeth. The purpose of this medicine is to enhance blood and qi. For men, it is just a glass of ambition wine, but for women, it is worse than aphrodisiac. Su Qingli locked herself in the room, protected her heart meridian with silver needles, and decisively cut her wrist.

As the blood was lost, the heat in the body gradually subsided. Su Qingli felt dizzy and thought that excessive blood loss would kill her. She tremblingly poured out several pills and stuffed them all into her mouth.

When Mo Yunting returned, he saw Xuan Yi standing at the door, looking bewildered: "What are you doing here?"

"Master, you are finally back. There is something wrong with Miss Su. After you left, she locked herself in the room. At first, she was talking to her subordinates, but now she has been silent for a long time."

"Did you fall asleep?"

"Not really. Miss Su's face is flushed and her voice is soft, as if she is sick."

Mo Yunting instantly thought of his daughter Xiang and tried to push the door, but found that it was blocked. After thinking for a moment, he went in through the window. As soon as he entered, he found Su Qingli lying in a pool of blood.

"Su Qingli!" Mo Yunting quickly stepped forward and carried her to the bed. Only then did he discover that Su Qingli had cut her wrist and fainted from excessive blood loss.

"Su Qingli, wake up, wake up quickly."

Su Qingli felt weak all over and just wanted to sleep. This was the weakness caused by excessive blood loss, but she still forced herself to open her eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I just lost too much blood. I will be fine after a while of sleep."

"What can I do?" Mo Yunting was a little flustered. Su Qingli must not be in any harm, at least not before he was detoxified!

"Medicine, give me three pills." Su Qingli looked at the medicine bottle that rolled on the ground. It was a blood tonic that could quickly replenish her lost blood and energy.

Xuan Yi picked up the medicine bottle and handed it over. Mo Yunting poured three pills into Su Qingli's mouth. He watched Su Qingli chew them up and swallow them, and then fell into a deep sleep again. He felt a little nervous.

"Master, will Miss Su be okay?"

Mo Yunting calmed himself down and bandaged the wound on Su Qingli's wrist: "No, she will be fine!"

Mo Yunting called a doctor to treat Su Qingli, and was relieved only after he was sure that her life was not in danger.

Yin Ze broke into the auction house and just rescued Marquis Yongyi. Lu Zhen thought that Ruyang was his territory and it would be easy for him to conceal this matter, but he did not expect that the Shenwu Guards had quietly infiltrated Ruyang City.

After Lu Zhen was arrested, he refused to say anything. Yin Ze did not make things difficult for him. He just sorted out the people who were killed at the scene one by one, surrounded Lu's house, closed the city gates, and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

"General, several people have escaped from the second floor." The guards came to report that several guests on the second floor had escaped. According to the registration sheet they found, "all those who escaped have been circled."

Yin Ze looked at the names listed above with a calm expression: "The city gates are blocked, they can't escape. Search house by house and make sure to catch them."

When Su Qingli woke up, it was already the next morning. She was a little weak due to excessive blood loss.

"You're awake. I asked someone to make some blood-tonifying soup. Have a bowl first."

"How are the girls?"

"Yin Ze has rescued all of them. Once their identities are verified, he will probably let them go."

"Is Marquis Yongyi okay?"

"He's fine. Yin Ze just happened to rescue him. Now Lu Zhen has been arrested and the Lu family is under siege, but Lu Zhen refuses to say anything."

"Of course he won't say anything. As long as he grits his teeth and denies it, the people behind the scenes will definitely find a way to protect him." Su Qingli sneered, "If he reveals anything, he will definitely die."

"Illegal salt mining, selling contraband salt, kidnapping decent women and forcing them into prostitution—any one of these charges is enough to cost Lu Zhen his life."

"I'm afraid that Lu Zhen has never intervened openly in all matters." Su Qingli knew the eldest lady very well. The eldest lady never did anything herself. That's why she took action against Su Qingyu, just to force Lu to take action against her.

"Your Highness, please have someone investigate who is responsible for kidnapping women and mining illegal salt. If my guess is correct, the Lu family has probably wiped out all of us. We must protect that person. Once he's dead, no one can do anything to the Lu family."

Mo Yunting has been following the Lu family for a long time, so he naturally knew all this. He had someone take the man under control long before the auction. "I've already checked. I think we'll have news soon."
