Pin Shanhe

Everyone was in high spirits tonight, drinking and chatting happily.

Only Yun Dai had a sullen expression on her face.

We've had our fill of melons, but what about the money?

How long has it been since her secret stash of money was deposited?

We helped them so much, and they didn't even give us anything in return. They're so ungrateful!

Whenever she gave a subtle hint, Shen Fu would either pretend not to understand or say that she would put it on the tab and settle it later.

In the whole world, besides her, no one dares to run the Holy Physician on credit!

This is absolutely outrageous!

But what should we do?

I can't get what I want, and I can't bear to leave, so I can only endure it!

Feeling depressed, she took a pot of wine and found a secluded corner to drink alone under the moon.

She hoped the moon could understand her heart and conjure up a huge pile of gold and silver jewels for her.

Whether it was her imagination or not, as the alcohol took effect, she seemed to see a dark shadow flash through the air.

She suddenly sobered up, and the smell of alcohol dissipated almost instantly.

There's an assassin!

This vigilance stems from the time when I took a liking to that man and wanted to follow him, but was repeatedly betrayed and harmed.

It is clear that beauty can mislead people!

From that moment on, she told herself that the more handsome a man is, the more dangerous he is!

Therefore, whenever Jun Anning intentionally or unintentionally "promotes" her imperial brother in front of her, alarm bells go off.

How could she not have heard of the Second Prince's name?

The daughter of the Prime Minister had pursued him for many years, and disregarding her reputation as a young lady, she took the initiative to ask the Emperor for his hand in marriage, only to be rejected without any respect, becoming a laughing stock in the capital.

From then on, Jiang Ruoyao went mad.

As soon as they hear rumors that someone covets the Second Prince, they will openly or secretly sabotage that person.

Those young ladies from prominent families were all afraid of offending the Prime Minister's mansion, so they naturally avoided it like the plague.

Even though she is now the fourth princess, her obsession with the second prince has not disappeared.

As a wandering healer, she was naturally someone to be respected and kept at a distance!

Closer to home.

The dark figure seemed to have gone into the bamboo forest behind it.

After all, he was currently living in the Xuanwang Mansion. What would happen if he had an enemy by his side?

No, she has to go check it out!

To avoid being discovered, he took out a pill from his purse and swallowed it.

This is the same fake death drug as Jun Anning; after taking it, one can conceal their breathing and heartbeat.

Even those with the highest level of internal energy would not be able to detect it, making it an essential item for roaming the martial arts world!

As soon as she entered the bamboo forest, she heard a sound coming from not far ahead.

It appears that two people are having a conversation.

not good!

There are still accomplices!

Should she go back immediately to report and ask them to come and arrest her, or should she first listen to what the other party's intentions are?

Curiosity killed the cat, but Yun Dai chose the latter.

She held her breath, which was already almost non-existent, and carefully took a few more steps forward.

By the faint moonlight, she could immediately spot the man in blue kneeling on one knee.

Isn't he the "petty thief" who broke into Jin Mantang day and night?

"My lord, Hongling was imprisoned by the elders after returning home. They said she violated palace rules and disobeyed you, and they will certainly discipline her properly! Please, for Elder Qing's sake, give her another chance!"

"What if I refuse?"

The man opposite Feng Zhu was mostly hidden in the moonlight.

Although her face was obscured, her voice was deep and husky, with a touch of languid allure.

Yun Dai couldn't help but shudder.

That voice... she would recognize it even if it turned to ashes!

Three years ago, her identity as a holy doctor was accidentally discovered by a martial arts sect, which sent people to surround and ambush her.

Even though she carried poison powder with her for self-defense, she was eventually caught by the large number of people they were dealing with and forced to make drugs to harm others for them.

She's a saintly healer, not a poisonous one!

She studied medicine to heal the sick and save lives; making drugs was merely a hobby.

So she refused to submit to the death, and just as she was about to be "caught," a figure in silver descended from the sky.

"So many people bullying a weak woman, what kind of men are they?"

"How dare you meddle in the affairs of our 'Five Poisons Sect'! Prepare to die!"

Yun Dai didn't even see how he made his move before those people died instantly, their bodies torn apart.

Dozens of heads rolled off their necks, blood splattering everywhere—what a spectacular scene!

But she didn't care at all; all she could think about was that tall, handsome, and otherworldly figure.

And that sound, like a captivating spring, draws you in completely.

The initial amazement upon seeing her appearance is another matter entirely.

Ahem, I've gone off-topic again.

Upon recognizing the other person, Yun Dai was momentarily at a loss for whether to be shocked or flustered.

He actually came back!

He had previously had a conflict with Shen Fu, which ended in a bad breakup.

But she always believed that they would eventually end up together.

At that time, everyone thought that the Xuan King was dead and that they had resumed their marital relations; it was only a matter of time.

I never expected that the Xuan King would actually return alive!

She was worried sick for days about what kind of earth-shattering battle would occur if these two men collided.

Moreover, Shen Fu is now pregnant, so how could he remain indifferent?

As time went by, seeing Shen Fu and Xuan Wang spending every day together in perfect harmony, her stance gradually began to waver.

I think the two of them are a perfect match, and it would be good for them to continue living like this!

But now, Rong Yan is back!

Does that mean our peaceful days are about to be disrupted?

However, she quickly realized something was wrong.

Wasn't the person he was talking to the bodyguard named Feng Zhu?

His act of "taking the blame for love" left a deep impression on her last time.

But isn't he a subordinate of the Xuan King? Why would he keep claiming that Rong Yan is his master?

What exactly is going on?

Her intuition told her that there must be some huge secret involved.

Knowing that the other party was not an assassin and that his life was not in danger, he could just relax and "watch the show".

The other party did not disappoint her, and the conversation continued.

"Those old bastards dare to act like they're in charge just because they're old. Last time they even dared to send a letter suggesting the destruction of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I'm sure it was Hongling who instigated them?"

Yun Dai covered her mouth, almost screaming out in surprise.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? Isn't that Shen Fu's maternal home?

They actually wanted to wipe out the entire family?

She felt like she had overheard some incredible secret, and her initial desire to leisurely watch the drama unfold was instantly replaced by terror.

If she hadn't taken the drug to fake her death, her heart would probably be jumping out of her throat by now!

With their combined skills, they would be able to detect anyone approaching immediately.

However, because Yun Dai took the drug to fake her death, she became a "fish that slipped through the net".

In the past, Feng Zhu would definitely have tried every means to help Hong Ling turn the tide, even taking the blame himself.

But after that incident, he vowed that from then on, the debt of love would be wiped away and there would be no more entanglement!

His silence already proves that this is indeed the case!

The man sneered, "Very well! I wonder when the Underworld Palace became their domain?"
