After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

'Boom!', 'Boom!'

Suddenly, a heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

Accompanied by the sound of rain,

Upon hearing the news that Tu Mu and his companion had returned empty-handed with the Crown Prince and others, Qin Wanyou rested her hands on the table and rubbed her temples.

Indeed, evil lives on for a thousand years!

He sighed, "Go and get some rest!"

The two, Tu and Mu, acknowledged and withdrew, quickly going to change their clothes.

Qin Jiu looked at Qin Wanyou with concern, "Sect Master?"

Qin Wanyou stood up, walked to the door and looked at the heavy rain outside. "I'm fine. I didn't expect his evil skills to have reached such a powerful level. But I was able to stab him once. Even if he escapes this time, I will definitely be able to give him a second stab in the future."

Then, glancing behind him, he said, "Business at Linglong Pavilion may be slow for a while. Be sure to keep the staff in good spirits with Yuling and the others. Even if there are fewer customers, we can't afford to be negligent."

Qin Jiu should be right.

Seeing that they still hadn't left, Qin Wanyou added, "Alright, I'm really fine, go and rest!"

Jin Ling spoke her mind, "Sect Master, it's already morning. We'd like to have breakfast before we go to sleep."

Qin Wanyou then realized that a night had passed and it was already the next day.

Finally, Qin Wanyou went to rest by herself, and asked them to buy more food for Li Bo and Gou Dan, since it was inconvenient for them to go out on a rainy day.

The people of the city woke up to the coolness brought by the rain, and everyone cheered with joy.

Besides the Regent's Palace,

As soon as Murong Xiao and the others returned to the palace, they immediately went to Physician Lalu to have Murong Xiao take his pulse.

As soon as Doctor Luo got up, Mo Nan dragged her to Murong Xiao's room. She was about to lose her temper, but when she saw Murong Xiao's expression, her expression changed. "What's going on?"

Then he immediately stepped forward to take her pulse.

After taking his pulse, his expression changed drastically. He shouted at Mo Nan and the others, "What exactly happened? Why is Murong's body so weak? Where did the seal go? Why did the Gu poison take effect so quickly? What were you all doing?"

Mo Nan, Mo Bei, and the others lowered their heads, unsure how to respond.

Just then, Moxi returned to the palace after completing the task assigned by Murong Xiao, and wanted to curry favor with his master.

Unexpectedly, he heard Old Master Luo scolding him as soon as he arrived at the door. Startled, he quickly went in to check.

At this moment, Murong Xiao was already unconscious, and his face was somewhat dark.

This situation is similar to the previous monthly outbreaks of Gu poison.

Moxi counted the time on his fingers; it had only been four months. It shouldn't have started this early.

She immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mo Nan by the collar, "Tell me, what happened? Why has the young master become like this?"

Then Mo Nan talked about the recent investigation and tracking of the great demon who drains people's spiritual power, and how Murong Xiao was seriously injured after being struck by the great demon last night.

Mo Bei added, on the verge of tears, "At that time, the Duke was there and had already helped suppress the Gu poison, and the young master had also woken up. I didn't expect that the young master would fall into a coma as soon as he returned to the palace. We also did not expect that the Gu poison had become so potent and could not be suppressed so quickly."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something else, "Oh, we also saw the girl who sealed the poison in the prince back then, but it seems she couldn't do anything about it either."

Moxi yelled at them again, "What are you all doing? Don't you know the prince's physical condition? Why did you send him to deal with such a powerful demon?"

Mo Bei said aggrievedly, "We are no match for that demon at all. Even if we all attacked together, we wouldn't last ten moves against him."

Mo Nan suddenly rushed out the door, leaving behind the words, "I'm going to find the Duke."

After learning the whole story, Doctor Luo realized that this was not the time to hold anyone accountable. He immediately ordered someone to move Murong Xiao to his pharmacy and prepare a medicinal bath for him.

While Doctor Luo was arranging a medicinal bath for Murong Xiao, news also came back from the Crown Prince's side regarding the capture.

Mo Bei was shocked when he heard that no one had been caught. "Impossible! That devil came from the East Courtyard of the Right Prime Minister's Residence. We saw him with our own eyes."

The messenger also reported on the search conducted by the Crown Prince and the Ministry of Justice. They even had someone examine the pulse of the Qin family's ancestor, but found no spiritual energy, no stab wound in the chest, and ultimately no injured person. They also found nothing amiss.

Mo Bei kept saying it was impossible, but then thought for a moment, "After the Crown Prince left, did you have anyone stay behind to secretly observe him?"

The person who came to report shook his head.

Moxi called him an idiot.

The person who came to report said, "I will take men to investigate immediately."

Mo Bei shouted, "Come back! It's no use going now. They must have already arranged everything. We won't get the results we want."

After saying that, Mo Bei suddenly punched the pillar next to him.

The prince was seriously injured, which caused the poison to take effect, and the culprit could not be brought to justice!

Mo Bei felt extremely guilty.

Suddenly, Moxi asked, "You said you saw the person who sealed the poison in the prince last night?"

Mo Bei nodded.

Suddenly remembering something, he immediately ordered the person who reported to lead a group to find the woman in black robes from last night.

The capture last night of the notorious demon who had recently been abducting people and draining their spiritual energy has alarmed the imperial court.

During the morning court session, the Crown Prince also reported to the Emperor about the arrest.

When the Emperor Yan heard that the demon had injured so many people and that the demon himself had been stabbed but still could not be caught, he berated the Crown Prince in court.

Then they appeased the Right Chancellor's residence and bestowed some gifts upon them.

After the morning court session, someone came to report on Murong Xiao's situation.

The emperor was greatly alarmed upon hearing this and immediately ordered the imperial physicians to prepare the best medicines to assess the situation.

Originally, the plan was for the Crown Prince to come to the Imperial Study after court to pretend to be punished. However, upon hearing this situation, after the Crown Prince explained the events of the previous night in detail, the plan was to loudly declare a few words and then send the Crown Prince and the imperial physician to visit Murong Xiao.

At this time, the inner palace was different from the previous dynasty. When the Empress Dowager of Yongci Palace heard that Murong Xiao had fallen into a coma due to the poison and that his days were numbered, she almost wanted to laugh out loud. However, as the Empress Dowager, she still had a certain degree of self-restraint and it would be inappropriate for others to hear her.

So he covered himself with the blanket and burst into laughter.

Granny Wu was worried that the Empress Dowager might be too happy and have mental problems.

Qin Wanyou woke up hungry after resting for most of the day, and her shoulder, which had been slapped, was still aching.

After Qin Wanyou got up and ate something, she saw Lu Ling come over.

Before Qin Wanyou could ask, Lu Ling spoke up, explaining, "Miss, it's raining heavily today, and business at Linglong Pavilion has decreased significantly. I've also heard rumors about the capture of the demon last night. Qin Jiu and Jin Ling haven't returned to Linglong Pavilion, so I came to check if anything has happened to everyone."

Qin Wanyou looked out the window at the heavy rain while sipping her tea. "We're fine, just a few injuries. They're all resting."

Lu Ling was startled. "Is that demon really that powerful? You're all injured?"

Qin Wanyou nodded.

Lu Ling asked with concern, "Miss, where are you hurt? Are you alright? Should I go to Huguo Temple to bring Shuang Ling back?"

Qin Wanyou fiddled with the tea leaves with one hand, "No need, we've already treated our injuries. They're all internal, no external wounds."

Lu Ling added, "I just heard that the young master of the Regent's Palace, Murong, is seriously injured and is currently unconscious. He doesn't have much time left."

Qin Wanyou's expression changed.
