The villain has been playing badly for ten years

There was a constant crackling sound in the house. Just as Ning Xiusu stepped into the door, something hit him. Fortunately, he dodged it reflexively.

With a "crash", the cups and tea sets fell on the door frame and shattered all over the floor.

Pu Boyu was holding a bamboo pillow, terrified, and waving it around like a weapon.

“Who are you!!!”

Hua Jianbai pointed at herself and said, "Hey, nephew, what are you doing? I'm your aunt!"

Pu Boyu shouted, "Stop your nonsense! I think you're all bandits. What do you want to do by arresting me?"

"What a mess."

Hua Jianbai was so anxious that he started shouting:

"Put your things down for me."

Pu Boyu did not restrain himself and even kicked a chair away, acting like a madman.

"Big villain, you're done for! He ate the medicine you made, how come he became crazy!!!"

Ning Xiusu said: "That shouldn't be the case. You have taken this pill before, and those people in the mine are fine."

Pu Boyu stood on the table and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! I am Gong Yibai, the prince of Qi'an!"

Hua Jianbai was furious: "Nephew, Gong Yibai is in Dayan Palace and has been held hostage. Can you please wake up a little?"

He snorted coldly and said, "What do you know? That guy was just picked up by my father on the grassland."

Ning Xiusu looked at him: "You said... you are the real Prince Qi'an?"

"Yes, this prince simply fell into the water and was subsequently imprisoned in the dungeon by those lunatics of the Three Flower Palace. If you send me back to Qi'an, my father will surely..."

Pu Boyu was still talking at length, but Hua Jianbai couldn't stand it anymore. He thought that this guy was possessed by evil spirits, so he stepped forward and raised his hand, knocking him unconscious.

With a "bang", Pu Boyu fell to the ground.

"..."

Hanamibai has a tendency towards violence, right?

Ning Xiusu sighed, "What should we do now?"

Hanamibai finally calmed down:

"I don't know. One or two of them are possessed by evil spirits. He must have a mental illness too!"

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Heart disease is usually caused by being poisoned for too long. Although the poison has been cured, it may be because the abnormality has lasted too long."

Ning Xiusu asked doubtfully, "According to what you said, you were also poisoned by some kind of Gu before?"

Hu Xiaoxiao nodded, but did not extend the topic.

Hua Jianbai asked Hu Xiaoxiao again: "Xiaoxiao, don't you know about Gu? What should we do?"

"I have a recipe that that strange man gave me."

"Then there's no time to lose. Tell the villain the recipe."

Listening to Hu Xiaoxiao mentioning a few medicinal herbs, Ning Xiusu took notes with a pen.

But when he looked at the recipe in his hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This is just some ordinary refreshing soup?"

Hu Xiaoxiao handed over something in her arms, which was an embroidered bag with some yangluo fruits in it.

“Just add this in.”

"hey-hey……"

Miemie looked into the house through the window lattice, with a look of surprise on her face, and waved to Hu Xiaoxiao.

"Beautiful sister."

When Hu Xiaoxiao heard her calling her, she was stunned for a moment, but she followed her out of the house.

Hua Jianbai finally threw the clumsy Pu Boyu onto the couch, his face still looking worried.

"By the way, Big Villain, I remember when Hu Xiaoxiao was ill before, Yin Wujiu also prescribed a prescription to wake her up, but I don't know if it's the same as this one."

"The prescriptions for awakening the mind are all pretty much the same, but if you add the yangluo fruit..."

"What's wrong?"

Ning Xiusu said lazily, "I'm not a miracle doctor, and I don't quite understand. If it doesn't help after taking it..."

He hesitated to speak, and Hanamibai thought that what he said didn't sound right.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think it's strange that the snake fairy is Hu Xiaoxiao?"

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Ning Xiusu, his eyes like mountain springs flowing, full of deep inquiry.

"What do you mean, are you suspicious of Hu Xiaoxiao?"

Ning Xiusu swallowed his words:

"That's not it."

"But I can clearly hear that you have something else to say."

His eyes, as black as ink and as jade, smiled: "Guardian Hua, why are you so sensitive for no reason?"

Hua Jianbai raised his eyebrows slightly and poked his heart with his finger.

"I should be the one asking you why you were touching Miemie just now!"

Ning Xiusu stepped back slightly and spread his hands: "What are you thinking? I'm just taking your pulse..."

"Does taking a pulse require two people holding hands and feeling around?"

"God knows what I'm talking about. False accusations require evidence..."

Hua Jianbai waved his hands and refused to listen to the explanation, looking as if he understood everything:

"Don't quibble. After all, the little girl is very innocent. Don't harm her. Besides, I understand what you are thinking now!"

"..."

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "So, we've known each other for so long, do you really think I'm frivolous?"

He usually spoke in a nonchalant manner, but at this moment, he seemed solemn and serious, like a different person.

Hua Jianbai was stunned by his expression, "Why are you so serious?"

The dark ink under his eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly lowered his eyes, as if he had restrained his serious expression for a moment, and said lazily:

"Forget it, I'll ask someone to make some medicine."

A ray of moonlight shines through the bluestone steps outside the door, and the sparse shadows of bamboo leaves cast dark shadows outside the door.

Ning Xiusu walked out the door and suddenly asked:

"Oh, that's not right. Where's Hu Xiaoxiao?"

Hua Jianbai finally reacted, "Yeah, where is she?"

……

The building was suddenly noisy, and the lanterns flickered in the night wind.

Probably half a cup of tea later, Meng Qilian returned to the building, exhausted. As soon as he reached the corner of the roof, he ran into a woman head-on.

The woman was wearing a plum-green, soft, misty gown with flowing pleats embroidered with delicate crabapple blossoms. She also wore a mask embroidered with butterflies, and tassels dangled from her ears, making crisp sounds as she walked.

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't want to stay here any longer, so she just said a few nonsense words to Miemie and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, she would meet the Secretary of the Privy Council head-on. She had seen the Secretary before and it seemed that he had been to the prison before.

Meng Qilian doesn't look scary, but his features are sharp and cold.

But under the candlelight, the official robe looked as dark as the night, with the sleeves slightly gathered and embroidered with dark patterns, inadvertently revealing a hint of official evil.

She was afraid of being discovered, so she lowered her head slightly and was about to pass by him.

"Stay."

Meng Qilian didn't know why, but suddenly called out to the woman.

Hu Xiaoxiao was slightly startled. People were required to bow when meeting an official. She bowed and asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"

Meng Qilian said little, and stretched out his hand towards him: "Do you have an official document?"

No one is allowed to enter the building without official documents.

Hu Xiaoxiao said softly, "Sir, I am the doctor hired by the prince. I came here with Guard Hua, so I don't have any official documents."

"Are you the healer that Hua Huwei hired in the martial arts world?"

It was obvious that Meng Qilian was a little surprised.

He didn't smile much normally, and he had a strong aura and a stern look in his eyes, which he showed no sign of softening when he looked at this woman.

"Yes."

"What is your name?"

"Worry comes."

Hu Xiaoxiao responded almost nervously, feeling his aura was oppressive and she was a little afraid to look him in the face.

Meng Qilian noticed that the woman kept avoiding his gaze, and couldn't help but become suspicious. He frowned and said, "If you are a doctor, why don't you show your true face?"

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer, but at this moment a young man's loud voice sounded.

"Lord Meng."

Hua Jianbai came over like a gust of wind, stopped and smiled at Meng Qilian:

"Oh, Master Meng, you're finally back... This girl has a facial injury and it's hard for her to see anyone."

Meng Qilian, still suspicious, said, "Guardian Hua, there are people in this building whose origins are unknown, so we might need to question them."

"I came to say hello. After all, Lord Meng, the prince wants to see you now!"

When Meng Qilian heard this, he glanced at the woman coldly without asking any other questions.

"Where is Nian Zheng?"

"Oh, in the house."

Hua Jianbai pointed at a place not far away and saw that Meng Qilian had indeed turned around and left.

He then grabbed Hu Xiaoxiao's sleeve and walked out without saying a word.

When they reached a secluded place outside the building, Hua Jianbai whispered:

"Xiaoxiao, why did you leave without saying a word?"

"Of course I have somewhere to go, and besides, this building is mostly populated by men..."

Hu Xiaoxiao said, gently pulling back her sleeves.

"inconvenient."

These three words were obviously directed at him.

"..."
