The next day, at the Fengshui Town Posthouse.

There was a pile of broken porcelain bottles and tea cups on the ground, and the room was in a mess.

All the maids and servants who had run away last night, including Nanny Qin, knelt in the hall.

The Princess of Jianing was shaking with anger.

It was obvious that that little bitch Sang Wan poisoned her last night, but everyone said the same thing: she did not leave the inn last night.

Even Nanny Qin whispered, "County Lady, maybe it was just a dream."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Princess Jianing was hysterical. She could still vividly remember the pain of the poison and the humiliation of incontinence.

"You ungrateful, lowly creatures! You abandoned me and ran away yesterday. Do you think you can get away with it by tricking me?!"

Nanny Qin had a bitter face. She had no idea how she got back to the inn last night.

All I knew was that she was knocked unconscious, and when she opened her eyes she was at the inn, and all the maids and servants who had escaped had returned.

They all denied what happened last night.

"County Lady, we were all at the inn last night and didn't go anywhere."

Nanny Qin quickly stood up and stopped her from continuing.

If we continue, the one who will be in trouble is Princess Jianing herself.

She whispered in his ear, "When I woke up last night, there was a note on my body. Please take a look."

The Princess of Jianing unfolded the note and read, "How does it feel to be incontinent?"

Ah!!! She fainted from anger!

Mother Sun pinched her philtrum and screamed, "Call the doctor! Quick!"

The Princess of Jianing County suddenly opened her eyes: "Sang Wan, Pei Jinzhi, I want you to die!!!"

The movements in the posthouse naturally could not be concealed from Zhaoyunyuan.

When Li Jiu came to report the news, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Grandma is so vindictive that the county lady has gone crazy."

Pei Jinzhi smiled faintly, his pen never stopping. "Well, as long as she's happy, that's fine. Chronic illnesses are bound to break out, so it might be a good thing to puncture this abscess as soon as possible."

Princess Jianing has no imperial edict in her hand now and is still staying in Fengshui. There must be other purposes behind this.

He carefully dried the ink on the letter, then carefully placed it in an envelope and handed it to Li Jiu: "Send it to Prince Duan in Shu with a fast horse."

Li Jiu frowned, knowing that this matter was no trivial matter: "Yes."

Just as he took a step forward, Pei Jinzhi asked again in a cold voice, "Have you completed what I asked you to do last night?"

Li Jiu pursed his lips, took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Jinzhi: "If Lord Baili attacks me with a sword, you must protect me."

Pei Jinzhi took the handkerchief, unfolded it, looked at it, and put it into the drawer.

His eyes were teasing: "What about the others?"

Li Jiu looked bewildered: "Other? What else?"

"Baili Xi spent twenty taels on more than just a silk handkerchief."

Li Jiu screamed: "Master, there are so many, are you going to take them all back?!"

"You guessed right! Go and do it!" Pei Jinzhi lowered his eyes and pretended to be serious.

Li Jiu said with a sad face: "I obey your orders."

Only after he left did Pei Jinzhi smile.

He pulled out the secret compartment again, took out a square box and looked at it carefully, his eyes warm.

Not long after Li Jiu left, Baili Xi pushed the door open aggressively, and the maid couldn't stop him.

"Pei Jinzhi!"

"What?"

Pei Jinzhi just looked up and continued to sip tea and flip through the book.

"You good fellow! You went to Wanhua Tower last night and didn't even call me?! Is there any brother like you?"

Baili Xi slammed the table loudly.

"You already have a lover, how can I drag you into prostitution?" Pei Jinzhi laughed.

Baili Xi sat opposite him in frustration, his chin in his hand, and suddenly became listless.

"Oh! Don't mention it. Miss Sang rejected me." He glanced at Pei Jinzhi's face secretly.

Pei Jinzhi narrowed his eyes and asked knowingly, "Oh, it's her."

The corners of his lips held a half-smile, less cold than usual.

Pei Jinzhi saw that he was in a good mood and was worried that no one would listen to his troubles, so he said hurriedly:

"Wen Ruo, I know you're just getting married for the sake of good fortune, but it's all in name only. But if you don't like her, she'll eventually have to find someone else to rely on. My Baili family is rich and powerful, and everyone in the world knows that I'm the most favored one in the family. Being my concubine will never let her down in the slightest. What else could she be dissatisfied with?"

Seeing Pei Jinzhi remained silent, he continued to talk to himself: "Ah, I am also a cheap person. The more I can't get her, the more my heart feels like it's been scratched by a cat. I always think about her."

He looked at the expression on Pei Jinzhi's face and asked tentatively, "What do you think if I marry her?"

Pei Jinzhi stared at the page without moving his eyes. He only said softly, "Let's not talk about Miss Sang. Let's talk about whether your parents would agree to you marrying her."

Baili Xi pulled up the corner of his mouth and revealed a bitter smile: "Oh, I think my legs were broken by my mother before I could finish speaking."

Pei Jinzhi smiled faintly and slowly turned another page of the book.

"Wenruo, now I really wish I were just a man from an ordinary family. I think Miss Sang will definitely not refuse me. Oh!"

Pei Jinzhi's heart moved slightly. There is a man in an ordinary family, and Shi Luochuan is one of them.

The silver hairpin in the shape of a sedge turned into a sharp thorn and pierced into Pei Jinzhi's heart.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Baili Xi also sighed.

After a while, he asked, "By the way, what happened last night? Jianing acted like a madman today and just fainted again."

Pei Jinzhi sipped his tea, seemingly indifferent: "I was drunk last night, I don't know what happened."

"Okay. But she's so crazy, I'm afraid she'll do something stupid."

Baili Xi slammed the table several times and asked, "Have you figured out how to deal with this?"

Pei Jinzhi put down the book in his hand and frowned: "You are like a fly, buzzing."

"Hey, you guy, I'm worried about you." Baili Xi was dissatisfied.

"I see you're hoping I'll marry her so you can go back to Beijing."

Pei Jinzhi glared at him without any courtesy.

Baili Xi sneered, "Hey, you saw through me. Wen Ruo, for the sake of both our lives, you have to put up with it and sacrifice your looks..."

Before he could finish his words, Pei Jinzhi's book came over.

Baili Xi fled from Zhaoyun Courtyard as fast as a fly.

Sang Wan came to the study angrily.

"What do you want to call me for?" She didn't even call him Prince.

"Come here." Pei Jinzhi called her softly.

Seeing that she didn't move, he stood up again, pulled her to the desk, and handed her a black wooden box.

The wooden box is square and has two ribbons. It can be held in the palm of your hand and is very light.

"What is this?" Sang Wan took a look and saw a red button bead around the edge, which looked like coral.

Is this... a sleeve dart?

"Be careful." Pei Jinzhi saw her touch the red dot and leaned back to the side.

The arrow shot from the sleeve brushed past his body and hit the vase on the shelf, shattering it in an instant.

"My mutton-fat jade bottle!" Pei Jinzhi's heart was bleeding.

He regarded this jade bottle as a treasure and bought it from an antique dealer at a high price. It was said that there were only one pair of them in the world and the whereabouts of the other one was still unknown.

Sang Wan lowered his head in fear. Dead, dead.

She just thought it was an exquisite jade bottle and had no idea how valuable it was.

But wrong is wrong. She lowered her eyebrows and tugged at Pei Jinzhi's sleeve lightly, her voice as low as a mosquito: "Master, I was wrong!"

"Really wrong?" Pei Jinzhi's heart had long since softened, but he still deliberately kept a straight face and scolded, "How can you be so impulsive?"

Sang Wan nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Highness is right. How much silver is this bottle worth? I will definitely compensate you. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so please don't get angry. It's not worth it if you get sick from anger."

Pei Jinzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This clever guy not only knew how to talk back, but was also very good at coaxing people.

Seeing that he wasn't angry anymore, Sang Wan smiled at him shamelessly again: "Didn't you say that using sleeve arrows was a despicable underworld trick? Why are you willing to give it to me?"

Pei Jinzhi rubbed his brows, looking helpless:

"It's because you're too weak to defend yourself! Just use it for now. It's better than getting killed."

"I let Nanny Qin catch me on purpose, it's not because I'm bad at fighting." Sang Wan stuck out her tongue.

Pei Jinzhi wanted to take back the hidden arrow, but Sang Wan immediately admitted his mistake: "I was wrong. I am not good enough. Thank you, my lord."

Pei Jinzhi scratched her nose and tied the arrow for her. "Go to the yard and try it."

Sang Wan followed him happily, and hit wherever he pointed.

Several flower pots shattered with a bang, almost every shot hit the target.

Sang Wan loved it so much: "It works so well!"

With the sleeve arrow and lightness skills, your life is safe.

Add poison...

Invincible.
