Finally, Chan Yi went out to look for him out of concern. In the garden, she met the disheveled herbalist who had just climbed out of the lotus pond.

“Waaaaaaaa…” He covered his injured shoulder and cried like a baby, “It was so scary, the man in black wanted to kill me, I was so scared that I jumped into the pond.”

Soon the house returned to silence. Jiang Xuening and her men came over and asked in surprise, "Is he injured?"

Chan Yi held his hand and said, "He was unlucky. He ran out to play and ran into an assassin. Fortunately, he was smart enough to jump into the lotus pond and save his life."

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry to have scared you."

"He was too playful and ran out so late at night." Chan Yi pretended to be a strict teacher, "Just think of it as a lesson for him. I'll take him back to treat his wounds."

After saying that, he took the people away, and it was obvious that he didn't want them to interfere.

Jiang Xue Ning returned to the study room, where Wu Jin was already waiting. "He's very powerful. I couldn't do anything to him for a while."

"At his height, he looks like he's only about ten years old. Even if he's gifted, he can't be that good." She said confidently, "He should have a child's body but a mature soul. His real age should be quite old."

Jiang Li pulled out a book of miscellaneous stories and said, "According to the book, in the endless mountains in the far south, there live dwarfs who are only as tall as children."

Bai Yu has been in the martial arts world and has seen a lot of chaos. "There was a sword slave auctioned on the black market before. He was also in his twenties and the height of a ten-year-old child."

Generally speaking, this situation is rare, but it does exist.

"He's really good at pretending. I've never paid attention to him as a child before tonight."

This is the advantage of this kind of person. If they are determined, they can pretend to be a child to deceive others.

Jiang Li asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Observe secretly without making any noise." She said with a bit of a chill in her heart, "We must know why she is so deliberate and scheming."

She couldn't be cruel to her now.

In Tingyuxuan, despite the loud commotion outside, Gu Tangli did not go out but sent Mu Jin out to inquire.

Mu Jin came back and whispered to her what happened. She scolded, "Stupid, sister is doubting and testing him."

"So...should we continue with the plan?"

She lowered her head and touched her belly with a gloomy expression. "Of course we have to continue. Now that we have come this far, no one should look back."

After a while, Chan Yi came over with a bad look on her face, "Do you think what happened tonight was a coincidence or intentional?"

"Does it matter?" She said with a half-smile, "The moment he resisted, the outcome was already decided."

Chan Yi looked at her hatefully, "Don't you think you are so powerful? You can't even control your own sister."

"I just doubt that she won't do anything to me." She said calmly and fearlessly, "And what's suspicious now is that without you, I haven't revealed any obvious flaws."

"You..." Chan Yi said angrily, "We are grasshoppers on the same vine."

"So I warned you a long time ago to be quiet and not ruin my business." She said sternly, "Before the prince comes, I don't want you to make any more trouble, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"Don't lecture me from a high position. She won't doubt me at all. If something really happens, do you think you can escape?"

Gu Tangli chuckled and said contemptuously, "I'm different from you. I'm the eleventh of the Gu family. She won't kill me easily."

Chan Yi was so angry at her attitude that she said something without thinking, "Oh, is Gu Jia Shiyi so great? Isn't she also a bitch who eats dog food and fights with her companions, and finally sells her body to get promoted!"

Her expression was stern, and a flying knife passed by Chan Yi's ear and cut off a strand of her hair. "Get out, or don't blame me for being rude."

"The Gu family is full of loyal and brave people. Having a daughter like you is simply a disgrace to the family!"

After she said that, she didn't dare to stay any longer and left the room as quickly as possible.

"Cough cough cough..."

Gu Tangli's mood fluctuated and she coughed violently. Mu Jin looked at her worriedly, "Eleven, you are not like that."

A burning smile appeared on her pale face. "It doesn't matter. I took off these clothes in order to survive and climb up. One day, I will put them back on piece by piece."

Mu Jin said, "Whatever you want to do, I'm here with you."

There was a massacre among the 120 girls that year, and only seven survived.

She and Mu Jin crawled out of hell together, and have been carrying out missions together for many years, always trusting each other's backs.

She held Mu Jin's hand and said, "Mu Jin, you have to believe me. I can do it."

Mu Jin held her hand in return and said as always, "I believe you."

What happened that night seemed to be just an ordinary assassination that happened all the time and did not cause any splash at all.

Jiang Xue Ning is still busy with official duties and occasionally takes time to visit Gu Tangli.

There was no action at all, and everything was calm and peaceful.

Chan Yi, who had been fully prepared to handle the situation, was completely confused. "Could it really be just an accident?"

The medicine boy, who had hardly left the yard recently, sneered, "It's also possible that they are just sitting back and doing nothing."

"Sisters are indeed like sisters. Both of them have more tricks than sieves."

She always considered herself a smart person, but in this game she had no idea what the two of them were thinking.

"I once heard that the Gu family is home to many extraordinary women." Yao Tong said meaningfully, "The final result may be beyond everyone's expectations."

Chan Yi snorted coldly, "She is so powerful, but the lives of Mu Jin and I, plus the baby in her belly, are all in the hands of the prince, and yet we are still as obedient as dogs in front of the prince."

"Would you like a dog?"

"What do you mean?" Chan Yi said unhappily, "A dog is a dog, and it wants to turn over and become the master!"

The medicine boy stroked his chin and smiled obscenely, "But even if she is a dog, she is still a beautiful, smart and unique dog. Isn't Your Majesty moved at all?"

"Humph, the one who is engaged to the prince is the eldest princess, whose status and bloodline are noble." Chan Yi said dissatisfiedly, "She is nothing but a plaything."

"What a pity! If the Gu family hadn't fallen, you wouldn't have thought that with her status, she would barely be worthy of the prince."

Chan Yi threw the cup in her hand at him, "That bitch is not worthy of it, don't make me angry."

The medicine boy caught the cup easily and said, "Don't be angry. Whether the prince loves it or not will be clear soon."

Chan Yi took a deep breath and said, "She won't be able to escape from the prince's grasp anyway."

The medicine boy smiled but said nothing. He felt that things were becoming more and more interesting. As for this mission, he had to think of a way out for himself. They were all difficult to deal with, and he didn't want to give up his life here.
