Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Wang Chi remained uneasy, and he asked, "Yesterday I saw your men bring two more people back. These two people?"

Mo Shijie glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "That girl is Mu Xue's maid. She grew up with her and Mu Xue treats her very well. There was originally an old nanny, but that old woman was too ungrateful and refused to cooperate, so she had to be killed."

Wang Chi was taken aback. Another one was killed?

Wang Chi considers himself a complete scoundrel. He's willing to use any means to get what he wants, but he would never just kill someone so casually.

These people are inherently cruel, and I'm afraid they themselves may not have a good ending in the future.

Wang Chi's mind was racing, but he showed no sign of it on his face.

After several rounds of drinks, Wang Chi, feigning intoxication, was helped back to his room by a young apprentice.

Wang Chi staggered into the guest room, leaning against the young medicine boy. As soon as the door closed, he let go of the boy and strode to the table to sit down.

His eyes were clear, showing no sign of drunkenness.

Wang Chi waved his hand, leaned close to the young apprentice's ear, and whispered, "Tomorrow, find an opportunity to send a message to the Treasure Pavilion, to find a young master named Ren Yuan."

......

The two whispered in each other's ears and talked for a long time.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the young apprentice beside Wang Chi hurriedly left the gate of Prince Jing's mansion.

When he found the Treasure Pavilion, he happened to run into Ren Yuan leaving home.

Ren Yuan hadn't been in Yu Nan City for the past few days, so he only heard about what happened in Shenjing Lane this morning. He had just gone out to check on Shenjing Lane when he ran into the young medicine boy who came to his door.

Ren Yuan had lived in Xijincheng a few years ago, so he was quite familiar with Wang Chi. As soon as he saw the young medicine boy, he recognized him as someone from Wang Chi's side.

"Is he Dr. Wang Chi's apprentice?" Ren Yuan asked first.

The young apprentice recognized Ren Yuan and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and saying, "The master is currently at the Prince Jing's residence. He would like to invite Young Master Ren to a gathering at Meiwuju tomorrow to discuss important matters."

"Why would Doctor Wang Chi come to Yunan City?" Ren Yuan asked.

After joining the Yuan family in Xijin City, Wang Chi rarely left Xijin City. Now, however, he has appeared in Yunan City and even had his young apprentice look for him.

Last night, Wang Chi had already told the young apprentice how to answer this question. He replied respectfully, "Physician Wang Chi heard that the Treasure Pavilion in Yu Nan City auctioned off fifth-grade pills, so he brought me to Yu Nan City to see for myself."

Ren Yuandian led you to the bet. Based on his understanding of Wang Chi, he knew that the fifth-grade pill was indeed attractive enough to Wang Chi to make him travel a long distance to see it.

However, Ren Yuan believed that there must be another reason why Wang Chi sent his young apprentice to find him.

Ren Yuan asked, "Does your husband have any other instructions?"

The young apprentice nodded and said, "The master asked me to remind Young Master Ren to be careful of Prince Jing's heir."

"Has your husband encountered any difficulties at Prince Jing's residence?" Ren Yuan asked, raising an eyebrow.

The young apprentice shook his head and said, "I don't know, but last night when Master and Prince Jing's son came back from drinking, he told me to make sure to find Young Master Ren and deliver this message."

Ren Yuan was only thinking about finding Mu Xue in Shenjing Lane, and he only gave a perfunctory answer about Wang Chi's matter.

He led the horse over, turned to the young medicine boy, and said, "Go back and tell your master that I will definitely keep the appointment on time. You can go back now."

After saying this, he mounted his horse and ignored the young medicine boy until the horse had gone far away, at which point the boy turned and left.

The window on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion was slightly ajar, and Liu Ming overheard the conversation. However, Ren Yuan was in a hurry and didn't notice Liu Ming, who was already there.

He covered his mouth as he watched Ren Yuan and the young medicine boy walk away, lost in thought.

Because Ren Yuan was introduced by Master Zong, Liu Ming didn't do much investigation. Judging from his demeanor, he knew that Ren Yuan must be a young master from a wealthy family. In addition, he had such a good relationship with Master Zong, so Liu Ming felt at ease letting him stay in the Treasure Pavilion.

The little boy from earlier was actually Wang Chi's medicine boy. He was very familiar with Wang Chi. Wang Chi had made a name for himself by auctioning his second-tier pills at the Treasure Pavilion. However, he had just joined the Yuan family in Xijin City.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that when Mu Xue went to the Cangmang Mountains to help Wang Xuanze, the young master of the Wang family, find the gallbladder of the blackfin snake, she seemed to have encountered this Wang Chi.

Later, Mu Xue also inquired about Wang Chi's character with him. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Liu Ming's mind. He slapped his thigh and ran towards the East Wing.

Liu Ming had just arrived in Dongfang when he bumped into Ye San, who was on his way out to run errands.

"Manager Liu, what's the rush you're in?" Ye San teased.

Liu Ming had no time for idle chatter. He caught his breath and asked, "Is Master here? Is Miss Mu here?"

Ye San asked, "Are you looking for the master or Miss Mu?"

"Hey, just say you're here! I have something important to report!" Liu Ming pushed him aside and tried to rush into the room.

"Hey, wait a minute." Ye San grabbed his collar with lightning speed.

Liu Ming was extremely anxious, but Ye San grabbed his collar and wouldn't let go. Liu Ming said angrily, "Third Master, let go, let go! I really have something important to discuss with the master!"

Ye San glanced at Liu Ming with disdain and said, "Wait here, I'll go in and let them know."

Hearing Ye San's words, Liu Ming finally calmed down, remembering the rules for seeing his master.

Ye Shangyuan was having breakfast with Mu Xue when he saw Ye San return. He asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ye San bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness." As soon as the princess appeared, Mu Xue's mouthful of porridge got stuck in her throat, unsure whether to go up or down.

She glared at Ye Shangyuan with annoyance. This old man really knew how to push his luck.

"Manager Liu of the Treasure Pavilion requests an audience, saying she wishes to see the Prince and Princess," Ye San reported.

"Manager Liu? What does he want to see me for?" Mu Xue asked, puzzled.

"I didn't ask, but he seemed very anxious," Ye San replied truthfully.

Ye Shangyuan placed a side dish on Mu Xue's plate and said, "Take her to the front hall and wait. We'll go over after Mu Mu finishes eating."

Upon hearing that Liu Ming was so anxious that he had come all the way to Dongfang, Mu Xue quickly finished her bowl of porridge, put down her chopsticks, and said, "I'm done eating. Let's go see him now."

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Shangyuan, she got up and walked towards the front hall.

Ye Shangyuan smiled helplessly as he watched Mu Xue walk away, and said to Ye San, "Alright, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll accompany Mu Mu."

Ye San respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Ye Shangyuan called out to Mu Xue, who was about to step out of the courtyard. He walked over and tidied her messy hair, saying, "We agreed that we wouldn't rush after we finished. You just finished eating, so you can't walk too fast."

After saying that, he took Mu Xue's hand and led her to the front hall.
