Villain, do you remember that I am a stand-in?

The shabby clothes on Babyface's body were raw and torn, and the back was covered with criss-cross bloodstains, bright red and dazzling.

The square-faced manager blushed, and waved the whip again and again, striking hard, and shouted: "Don't tell me?! You stole it and just admit it! Why bother!"

But no matter how intimidating the manager was, Babyface still buried his head deeply in his arms, curled up on the ground, and kept silent.

The hard ring whip was as thin as willow silk, and it made a sharp "swish" sound as it swung its tail in the air.

There were many people gathered around, with different expressions, their eyes all fell on this thin and curled up body, but they were indifferent.

"Okay." Gu Xiaocheng frowned slightly with his bushy eyebrows, and with his arms in wristbands and sleeves lying in front of the steward, he said in a deep voice, "I'll ask him again."

The person in charge held the whip and his expression was not healed. The person he was in charge of stole something, and his face was really embarrassed.

The back of the baby face was bloody and bloody, and blood flowed from the hideous wound, slowly flowing down the hem of his clothes and arms to the ground.

Gu Xiaocheng took a step forward, stepped on the blood dripping on the bluestone slab with his boots, and said to the baby face lying on the ground, "I've always been business-like, and I don't want to wrong anyone, but if you admit your mistake, I will, Take it easy."

The baby's face moved convulsively, and then there was no movement.

Gu Xiaocheng stretched out two fingers to feel his pulse, and said to Fang Yingqing who was standing behind him: "He can't die."

Seeing that Babyface didn't speak, the manager yelled and cursed and waved his whip to take it down.

Fang Yingqing sighed, and said awkwardly: "Don't fight anymore, I didn't want to do this."

He changed into a blue straight-fronted robe today, and the hem of the draped clothes moved slowly with his half-moving steps, wanting to walk over.

But seeing that the baby's face was covered in blood, and the smell of blood was pungent, he finally stopped, opened the light bone fan to cover his lips and said.

"My father gave me that herbal medicine, and it's useless to you. Just hand it over. Why bother to suffer this whipping?"

The baby face was still silent, Fang Yingqing slowly bent down, and asked softly: "If you have any difficulties, just say so, and I might help you, but why did you steal my things?"

"I...I didn't..." At this moment, the baby face's voice came out from the crook of his arm, weak and hoarse.

When everyone saw him make a movement, they all listened carefully.

I saw the baby's face and back violently heaving, breathing heavily, breathing heavily, hands clenched into fists, and shouting angrily with all the strength in his body: "I didn't! I didn't steal anything! I didn't!"

Fang Yingqing closed the small fan and said affirmatively: "Yesterday, you were the only one who entered the bathroom to change the hot water, and you had to take the herbs in my sachet."

"I didn't take it...not..." Babyface screamed.

Ji Xiaoguang watched this scene of singing bad faces and singing good faces, and didn't expect things to develop like this.

The medicinal effect of the black-tailed phoenix is ​​peculiar, and it is still a drug of blind poison. It can only be used to treat his inexplicable heavy poison, and has no other effect.

He didn't understand why Fang Yingqing insisted on this herbal medicine in the original book, saying it was life-saving, but this herbal medicine has no other medicinal effect except to make people die faster.

And why can't the cannon fodder not eat other good things in Fang Yingqing's sachet, but insist on eating the black-tailed phoenix, so that he has a good face by accident.

There must be some hidden secrets that cannot be avoided, waiting for Ji Xiaoguang to discover.

Although Shen Lianting took the herbal medicine, it was also what he wanted in his heart. Now that Babyface was wronged and beaten, he couldn't ignore it.

Shen Lianting seemed to see through his mind, put his hand on his shoulder, and said in a neutral tone, "Don't go."

Ji Xiaoguang was impatient, how could he forget that Shen Lianting's kindness to him does not mean that he treats everyone like this.

Shen Lianting has never been a kind person, he is still the Sixth Highness Xuan Guo who is cold-eyed and inhumane, with a cold temper.

"I met him twice yesterday, and he helped me. Besides... We took the herbs, so we can't sit idly by."

Ji Xiaoguang looked directly at Shen Lianting's face, but Shen Lianting still had an expression of "None of my business".

"Well, let me put it another way." He settled down, thought for a moment and said, "If the person who was beaten was me, do you care?"

Shen Lianting fixed his eyes on him and said without thinking, "Don't worry."

Hearing that Ji Xiaoguang's eyes flickered slightly, he pursed his lips and continued: "Then you will help me, okay?" He was afraid that Shen Lianting would refuse, so he tugged on his sleeve and shook: "Is that okay?"

Shen Lianting looked at his bright deer eyes, and seemed a little shaken: "Why, do you have to help him?"

When Ji Xiaoguang saw something was going on, a thought from the bottom of his heart surged in his heart, and he said crisply: "If something happens to me, you will help me, but if I don't help that child, no one will be able to save him."

In the end, Shen Lianting broke into a smile on his cold face, which was slightly sad but meaningful, and he acquiesced.

Ji Xiaoguang wore a veil, his eyebrows and eyes were curved beautifully, and he thought to himself that now that someone supports me, I won't be afraid of anything!

The baby face was still unacceptable, and Fang Yingqing had no choice but to do so. The manager asked if he wanted to continue using the whip, and Fang Yingqing finally nodded.

"stop fighting!"

Ji Xiaoguang ran over, and the supervisor saw Shen Lianting standing silently behind him, and put down the raised whip.

Glancing at these people, Ji Xiaoguang said angrily: "What's the difference between you and torture?"

He squatted down first to check the injury on the baby's face, the thin back was covered with whip marks and dripping with blood.The person is still awake, but his breath is weak, and he does not know how many whips he has received.

Fang Yingqing looked at Shen Lianting without any trace, then turned to Ji Xiaoguang and said, "Young Master Ji, you came just in time. After I took a bath in your place yesterday, the precious herbs in the sachet disappeared. I hope to seek justice from you."

Ji Xiaoguang asked Fei Nu to look after the baby face, he stood up and said, "Why are you sure it's him?"

Yesterday there was clearly a little eunuch delivering hot water with Babyface, he remembered clearly, and gave them two pieces of jade as a reward.

"Yesterday, he was the only one who delivered and changed the water. I don't remember wrongly. Why is there such a little eunuch?" Fang Yingqing asked back.

Hearing that Ji Xiaoguang was startled, he did ask the little eunuch to heat hot water for Baby Face, and also gave the jade piece, but these were not what he saw with his own eyes.

He thought for a moment and then he figured it out. It seems that the little eunuch took the jade piece and didn't do the work. Babyface did all the boiling and changing of the water by himself.

At this time, the Ninth Prince who was standing in the crowd poked his head out, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Precious herbs? Since they are so precious, why don't you explain them clearly, and it won't be a waste of everyone's time."

The loss of Fang Yingqing's herbal medicine is not a big deal.

Today, there are princes’ training itinerary, because this matter has been delayed for a long time, if Gu Xiaocheng has not pursued it again and again, he must be in charge to force the herbs out of the baby face, and now everyone is probably in Longquanfang where the sword is cast .

Ji Xiaoguang glanced at the Ninth Prince, who raised his eyebrows at him.Xindao Ninth Prince is really the ultimate fan who wants to watch the fun and participate.

But after thinking about it, Fang Yingqing was not liked in the original novel of the Nine Princes, and it seems that it is the same here.

Fang Yingqing held the light bone fan tightly in his hand, and patiently explained: "It's the herb my father used to keep me safe since I was a child. I found it in Xuangu Forest after going through thousands of dangers. It's called Wuwei Phoenix, and it's very precious."

Everyone was at a loss after hearing this, obviously they had never heard of this herb.

There are very few records about the black-tailed phoenix, except for experienced pharmacists and doctors, most of them don't know the existence of this herb.

But the Ninth Prince smiled knowingly, with a bright expression on his face: "It is recorded in the ancient medicine scriptures that a black-tailed phoenix will recognize its master if it is watered with the blood of one person. Since you said that you have found it since you were young, if you use your With the blood as a guide, you can perceive the location of the black-tailed phoenix." Its name is its nature, and the explanation is smooth.

Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but stare sideways at the Ninth Prince. He didn't expect that His Highness Ninth Prince, who is usually idle, would know these profound and knowledgeable things besides pornographic words.

He whispered to Shen Lianting: "Your Highness Ninth Prince knows quite a lot."

Listening to his tone of admiration, Shen Lianting leaned against him with a gloomy face and said, "Shen Lianzhou was too naughty since he was a child, and even burned the Taifu's beard. He's thinking about it."

Although Shen Lianting didn't say it clearly, Ji Xiaoguang probably understood that it was too boring for the Ninth Prince to be locked up in Zangshu Pavilion to think about the past, so he looked for some ancient books to read.He was punished too many times, and over time, the Ninth Prince also read a lot of books.

But looking at it now, even if he got into the pile of books, he didn't make the Ninth Prince a virtuous and refined scholar. He is really the type of person who is smart and won't use it in a serious place.

If the old matriarch knew this, he would probably be so angry that his beard twisted.

Oh no, the beard was burned off by the Ninth Prince, I don't know if it will grow back.

Turning back to the topic, if Fang Yingqing's blood can really sense the location of the black-tailed phoenix, Ji Xiaoguang can't help thinking, it's already in his stomach, so he won't be able to perceive it in the hut...

The Ninth Prince asked Fang Yingqing to use his own blood as an introduction to find the herbal medicine, so he didn't have to spend a lot of time interrogating Baby Face, but Fang Yingqing's complexion was not very good, and his tone was a little stiff.

"My body hasn't recovered yet, I'm afraid I can't use this method."

The Ninth Prince teased disdainfully: "Absurd words, could it be that the herbal medicine has not been lost, or there is no such herbal medicine, and you fabricated everything out of thin air, right?"

These words touched Fang Yingqing's back in an instant, his face was dyed abnormally red, he was very angry, he gritted his teeth and said: "I, I didn't, blood spitting..."

Fang Yingqing's status was too embarrassing, he could not conflict with the prince no matter what.

Suddenly, he had a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to prove his innocence, he snatched the whip from the manager's hand, and without any explanation, he wanted to whip it on the baby face.

Ji Xiaoguang didn't expect Fang Yingqing to do this, he stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing!"

Fang Yingqing's eyes were slightly red, as if she had changed into a different person: "Don't worry about it! I will definitely ask him to hand over the herbs today!"

"Are you crazy?! Put down the whip!" He had to keep his baby face today, at worst he just had to admit it, with Shen Lianting by his side he was not afraid of anything.

It happened so fast, the two only argued for a few minutes, Fang Yingqing suddenly swung his arm, Ji Xiaoguang couldn't dodge it in time, he tilted his head, the plain veil on his face slipped off and fell to the ground.

Ji Xiaoguang didn't have time to pick up the veil, but when he realized that Fang Yingqing was not moving, he took the opportunity to take away the whip and pushed Fang Yingqing some distance away.

When Fang Yingqing saw Ji Xiaoguang's face, his eyes suddenly widened, as if seeing something terrifying, his pupils shrank sharply and tremblingly said: "You, it's you..."

[The author has something to say]: ps: Fang Yingqing has never seen Ji Xiaoguang's face, Xiaoguang has been wearing a veil (▔??▔)
