"I thank Your Highness the Crown Prince very much." Minister Hua and his entire family knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Why do you want to thank me, the prince? Lan'er saved your daughter's life. Isn't she worthy of your thanks? Humph! You only know how to flatter me." Beitang Yuan said with a cold face.

"Of course, I want to thank you for saving my life, Miss."

The Hua family knelt down in front of Xie Jinglan again and expressed their gratitude profusely.

"No need!" Xie Jinglan moved aside and refused their kneeling.

"And remember to send Lan'er's medical fee to Duke Li's Mansion. Lan'er is the future Crown Princess and has a noble status, so the medical fee will be increased fivefold." After Beitang Yuan finished speaking, he pulled Xie Jinglan and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Xie Jinglan walked up to Xiuye ​​and said, "Come with me first!"

Hu Xiu just reported that her family had been rescued. If she wasn't taken away, the people in Prince Jia's Mansion would never let her go considering the evil things she had done for Chai.

"Yes!" Xiuye ​​stood beside Xie Jinglan as if she had been pardoned.

Beitang Yuan took a look and said, "Prince Jia, I will take this maid with me. Remember to send her indenture along with the medical fee to the Duke of Li's mansion."

"Consultation fee?" Prince Jia frowned. Hadn't he already asked the Hua family to pay for the consultation? Why did his palace still have to pay?

"What? You went to the palace to beg Father to send Lan'er to your palace to rescue people, and now you don't want to admit it?" Beitang Yuan glared at him. "It's okay if you don't want to give it. This prince will report the truth to Father."

Prince Jia's expression froze. He had forgotten about this. "Don't worry, Prince. I will definitely send the medical fee to the Duke of Li's mansion."

"Hmph!" Beitang Yuan walked away. "Lan'er, don't come to treat such ungrateful people anymore."

"I see."

As soon as the two of them left the courtyard, Xie Jinglan heard the voice of Space Little Gold, "Increasing, increasing! Points are up again! Bringing someone back to life means points increase quickly."

Xie Jinglan smiled. She worked hard to save people just for those few points. As her points increased, she was naturally happy.

"Your Highness, please stay." The voice of Minister Hua suddenly sounded behind him.

The two men stopped and saw Minister Hua catching up from behind.

Beitang Yuan frowned unhappily, "Minister Hua, what else is going on?"

"Your Highness..." Minister Hua hesitated for a moment, turned around and saw that no one was around, then said:

"I will never forget the help you and Miss Xie have given me today. I will keep it in my heart! If your Highness can ever need me in the future, I will go through fire and water, even my own death, to repay your Highness and Miss Xie for their great kindness!"

Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan were a little surprised and looked at each other.

This Minister Hua is like a fox, he is smooth and cautious.

Ever since he, the crown prince, returned to Shengjing, the wind direction in the court has changed. Prince Mu was punished in the Linggun Mountain competition this time. In addition, the power of Empress Zhangsun's harem was hollowed out, and Concubine Xian was favored. Prince Jing's power also rose with the tide, and many ministers secretly defected to him.

Now the officials in the court are divided into three factions, but Minister Hua never chooses sides. This time he came here specifically to say these words to them, which shows that he wants them to stand on his side.

"I understand Lord Hua's intention." Beitang Yuan said lightly, and left with Xie Jinglan.

Some things need no further explanation.

After leaving Prince Jia's Mansion, Beitang Yuan sent Xie Jinglan back to Duke Li's Mansion and went back without entering the mansion.

Xie Jinglan entered the house, and Xiuye, who was following behind her, suddenly knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, young lady, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you. I wish to serve you for the rest of my life to repay your great kindness."

"I've sent someone to pick up your parents. You guys can stay in the mansion for the time being. Don't go out unless necessary."

Xie Jinglan reminded her and walked away, "Xie Xue, wait for her family to come over and ask the housekeeper to arrange a place for them to stay!"

"Yes!" Xie Xue bowed.

Xiuye, who was behind her, kowtowed to her deeply.

Xie Jinglan returned to Yuelan Courtyard and went to the west wing to check on Zhu Wen first.

Because Zhu Wen's injuries were serious, he was placed in his own yard so that he could be examined every day.

After more than ten days, Zhu Wen's injuries had healed a lot, but his neck still could not move and he could not speak.

Just after Zhu Wen's physical examination, the Hua family's medical fee arrived, 50,000 taels of gold.

However, the medical fee from Prince Jia's Mansion was not delivered until the afternoon of the next day, and it was ten thousand taels of gold.

Xie Jinglan asked the housekeeper to put all these things into the big warehouse.

As for the damaged formation in the warehouse, she set up a new one. It was an ancient formation. In addition to hidden weapons, she also buried landmines.

The days were peaceful. Another half month passed. Xie Wanying had been in seclusion for nearly a month and had not come out yet.

One day, Hu Xiu came to tell her that envoys from Nanyang Kingdom and Luofeng Kingdom would soon visit Yuyong Kingdom.

I heard that the Crown Prince of Luofeng Kingdom, the current Queen of Nanyang Kingdom, and the Princess of Yuyong Kingdom will also come with the delegation.

Xie Jinglan frowned after hearing this. It was already the middle of winter, the coldest time of the year, and nothing big was happening in Yuyong Kingdom. These people did not show up at Emperor Kunming's birthday. Now it was almost the end of the year, so why did they all come here?

They say that when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on! What is the purpose of these people?

She felt something was wrong in her heart, and she always felt that something was going to happen?

Ask someone to call Lu Demin and tell them to stay alert at night.

That night, as usual, Xie Jinglan asked Xiao Jinzi to come out to help keep an eye on the goings on in the mansion, while she herself meditated and practiced in the space.

However, her premonition came true.

"boom--"

The sound of a violent explosion resounded through the night sky in the silence of the night.

"Master, someone broke the formation and broke into the mansion!" Xiao Jinzi's voice sounded in Xie Jinglan's mind.

Xie Jinglan finished her training and opened her eyes with a sharp look.

Someone actually broke her ancient formation. It seems that the person is very powerful.

She moved out of the space with a thought and opened the door.

The night wind brought a strong smell of gunpowder.

"There's an assassin, catch him!"

Someone was shouting in the mansion.

Xie Jinglan flew onto the roof and saw several figures rushing in from the crack in the broken formation. Lu Demin and Xie Xue were about to meet them.

not good!

She thought to herself that something was wrong and dodged quickly. The people who came were very powerful and the people in the mansion were no match for them.

Before the people arrived, a machine gun fired first.

"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu..."

Strings of flames spurted out from the muzzle.

But the person who came seemed to have realized the power of her weapon, and the black shadows suddenly disappeared.

[Master, be careful, Jindan master!] Xiao Jinzi said.

"The lady is here!"

Xie Xue, Lu Demin and others all retreated to her side to avoid interfering with her killing.

"Retreat quickly, let everyone go to Qing'er and Master Fang." After saying this, Xie Jinglan headed towards where Xie Yunqing lived.

Among these killers, there are powerful Jindan masters. Only by putting my brother and the others into the space can I fight against these people.
