Guozi looked at him with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Li, don't act alone in the future. It's too dangerous." Mo Yi said with a frown.

Li Mofu had no choice but to respond obediently, "Okay, I understand."

While they were talking here, the old lady over there almost burst into tears when she saw the box containing Wang Ruiyan.

"Hurry, hurry, move Ruiyan back to the house first, and then quickly ask a reliable doctor to take a look!" The old lady almost slapped her thigh.

Shang Jiu and Shiyi carried the box towards the mansion, and the old lady followed behind slowly, supported by an old maid.

"Sir, should we go and take a look?" Guozi pointed in the direction where Wang Ruiyan and the others left.

Li Mofu nodded, and the three of them followed the old lady in silence.

Soon, the newly hired doctor arrived. He checked the conditions of Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang, and finally confirmed that they were not seriously injured and would wake up at night.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after knowing this. After this incident, the old lady no longer dared to keep outsiders in the house, and quickly had the doctor taken out of the house.

The old lady can now ignore Li Mofu very well. Even if Li Mofu is sitting not far away, she can pretend that he does not exist.

When Li Mofu saw that Wang Ruiyan was fine, he didn't stay there to get in the way, and quickly took Guozi and Mo Yi back to the house.

As soon as he returned to the house, Guozi told the maid to get hot water, then picked up clothes for Li Mofu and asked him to prepare for a bath. He was covered in dust and dirt, and he must have felt uncomfortable himself.

"After exercising for so long, I'm still a little tired today, especially my heart." Li Mofu sighed as he leaned against the wooden barrel. He picked up the green transformation bead and looked at it from left to right.

Although he was a little tired, had a sore throat, and spent more money today, he didn't have to use the transformation beads, which is a good thing.

Guozi stood behind the screen and said, "Young Master was quite impressive today. I heard from Mo Yi that if you hadn't stopped that car and caused trouble, they might have quietly left the city."

"Hmph," Li Mofu slid into the water to wash his face and said, "As soon as that guard raised his butt, I knew he was going to let those people pass! But I still have to thank them for not shooting arrows at me, otherwise I would have been killed."

Guozi sighed and smiled bitterly, "Yes, sir, this time it was the leader who hesitated. Next time we meet someone ruthless, it might be different. sir, don't act alone in the future."

Li Mofu's hair had just been washed and now floated in the water like seaweed. He brushed away the hair that was "stuck" to his shoulders and said, "It happened suddenly."

"However, Jiangnan may not be able to make it either..." Li Mofu sighed deeply and said again.

Guozi stood behind the screen and said nothing more because he also realized it.

At night, after Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang woke up, everyone went to check on them. Wang Ruiyan said that she fainted after drinking tea, and then felt someone moving her, and she knew nothing after that.

The old lady said a few words of comfort in a hoarse voice. Because it was late at night, she could hardly open her eyes. Wang Ruiyan smiled and told the old lady to go back and rest first, saying that she was fine.

After the old lady left, Guozi and Mo Yi took Qiuxiang to guard outside the house, leaving space for the four of them to talk.

"This matter... is my fault. I didn't manage the people in the mansion well." Zhao Xu said apologetically while sitting opposite.

Wang Ruiyan waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's not your fault. We were all careless."

"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. By the way, did you kill that eunuch? I have a feeling that if he were alive, he would have skinned me alive sooner or later." Li Mofu began to come up with evil ideas and coerced others to be his butcher.

Zhao Xu looked at Li Mofu and smiled bitterly, "You wishful thinking, he really is His Majesty's man, and the jade pendant he took is real."

"Of course I know. A eunuch who wants to kidnap Wang Ruiyan, whose man could he be except the emperor's?" Li Mofu squeezed a peanut hard and took out the peanuts inside to eat.

In public, the eunuch did not angrily accuse Zhao Xu of lying. Instead, he implicitly admitted that the jade pendant was fake and distanced himself from the emperor.

This means that the emperor had asked him to come here secretly. He knew that this matter could not be made public, otherwise the civil and military officials would be entangled.

Since they were doing things in secret, isn't it normal for them to die accidentally somewhere?

Besides, Li Mofu didn't think the new emperor could live until next year.

"No." The more Li Mofu thought about it, the more he felt that he should kill the eunuch. "How about I kill him!"

Zuo Zheng looked at him in surprise. "You usually look so gentle and weak, but are you really going to kill me just like that?"

"Nonsense!" Li Mofu pounded the table, annoyed, "You have no idea how vicious the look in his eyes was when he looked at me. He even said that if he caught me, he would torture me to death!"

Everyone was silent. Zhao Xu swallowed and said, "He has been released."

"...Ah?" Li Mofu froze for a moment.

Zhao Xu frowned and said self-deprecatingly, "Inspector Zhou released that eunuch a long time ago. When I went to the prison to look for him again, he had already disappeared."

"Inspector Zhou?" Wang Ruiyan frowned in confusion. "Wasn't he originally the Third Prince's man?"

"...The Third Prince is gone again. They originally thought that I could take his place, but in fact, I lack the ability and ambition, and some people already want to defect to the new emperor." Zhao Xu shrugged.

"It's just that the Third Prince's sphere of influence has not yet collapsed, and Governor Zhou hasn't shown it so obviously due to the influence of other forces."

Zhao Xu took out the two jade pendants he had received today and placed them on the table. "The smooth yellow jade pendant belongs to Governor Zhou. Although the guards followed my orders to close the city gates, they will still quietly open the gates for the person holding the token when they see it."
