After Jia Min hurried home, she got off the carriage and went to Lin Chengyu's yard. When she arrived, she found that Lin Chengyu was not in the room.

Jia Min didn't know what she was thinking about, her legs suddenly went limp, and the maids quickly helped her sit down.

"What happened?" Lin Ruhai followed closely. He heard from the servants that Jia Min went straight to Lin Chengyu's yard as soon as she came back, looking panicked. Not knowing what had happened, he also rushed over.

Jia Min pulled his clothes, looked up and asked, "Master, how is Chengyu? Tell me the truth."

Lin Ruhai finally understood why Jia Min was like this, and quickly explained: "Chengyu is fine."

Jia Min didn't believe it. "How can he be fine when he's covered in blood? Master, just tell me the truth. I can bear it. At least let me know what happened to our son."

"It's really alright." Seeing that her face was pale, Lin Ruhai knew how nervous and flustered she was. "Listen to me, the blood on Chengyu's body is not his, it's someone else's. Chengyu is unharmed, and he even specially asked Fourteen to come back to report that he is safe."

Jia Min was skeptical, "Why doesn't he come back if he's fine?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Prince Linhuai is injured. They have always been good friends. How can I just leave him alone and go home? I have to stay with him in the palace."

Jia Min finally felt relieved, "I thought she was Chengyu... I was so scared that I almost lost my soul."

Lin Ruhai was also helpless, so he said, "Who on earth delivered the letter? Why didn't you explain it to your wife?"

The maids and old women looked at each other, and the maid who had run to the inner courtyard to deliver the message at Jia's house stood up and pointed out the servant who had just gone to the Jia Mansion to deliver the message.

The messenger was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down, "Forgive me, Master and Madam, I didn't hear you clearly."

Lin Ruhai asked him, "I told you that Chengyu is fine, don't go to Jia's house and disturb the madam, why did you go there without permission?"

The letter was sent to the wrong person, and Jia Min is still in shock now.

The messenger boy knocked his head loudly on the ground, and stammered out the whole story.

It turned out that the messenger boy did not know Lin Ruhai's instructions. While hiding in the corner, he heard Fourteen boasting to others about Lin Chengyu's prowess in suppressing bandits.

Separated by a wall, the messenger boy couldn't hear clearly. He just vaguely heard what was said on the other side of the wall, all covered in blood. He immediately became alert and thought of rushing to report the news before others, so as to make himself familiar to the lady and she would think of him if there was any good job in the future.

But I didn't expect it to backfire.

The messenger boy didn't even dare to raise his head and kept begging for mercy.

But this cunning boy must be severely punished even if he is not driven out.

It took Jia Min a long time to recover from her grief. She asked someone to take the servant away and called Fourteen over.

Fourteen's addiction to acting was greatly satisfied today. The same play was performed several times in a row, and Jia Min's performance was the last one.

What about killing people like chopping melons, piercing the heart with an arrow, stringing candied haws...

He danced and spoke in a very vivid and vivid way.

Jia Min and the others listened very carefully.

Lin Daiyu asked, "What is a string of candied haws?"

Fourteen thought of the scene again, picked up the feather duster beside him and demonstrated to them, "That's it, a thin branch pierces several people, it's called a candied haws string, you didn't see it, the young master did it just like that, he just swung it casually, and those people were skewered on the branch, and the bandits were scared to death at that time, they didn't dare to fight anymore, and they hurriedly fled..."

******

Linhuai Palace.

Xuan Zheng was shot in the shoulder, his clothes were stained with blood, and he lay on the bed giving his "last words".

"Alright, alright, I've cured you. If you keep pretending, I'll poke a hole in you again." Lin Chengyu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he thought of the scene where Xuan Zheng was shot by an arrow. Even if he had killed all those people, he still couldn't calm down.

But Xuan Zheng is still pretending here.

Lin Chengyu was so angry that she cursed, "Are you a fool? I've told you so many times that ordinary weapons can't hurt me, but you insisted on rushing over to block it. Do you think the water in your brain has nowhere to go unless you poke a hole in your body?"

Xuan Zheng was scolded by being pulled by the ears, but he was not angry at all. He was afraid that Lin Chengyu would be upset, so he hurriedly coaxed her: "I was just anxious, and the situation was urgent at the time, so I couldn't think too much."

Lin Chengyu was so angry at this man that she lost her temper. "You are so annoying. Stop pulling my clothes and reflect on yourself."

"Okay." Xuan Zheng shrank back into the corner pitifully, but within an incense stick of time, he moved back to Lin Chengyu. He was not annoyed by being glared at, but smiled and said, "I'll reflect on it."

Lin Chengyu was completely out of temper this time, she pulled the clothes off his shoulders and looked at him.

The bloody mess has now completely healed, without even a scar left. However, Lin Chengyu didn't know what was wrong and was always worried. After not checking for a while, she began to doubt whether she had really cured Xuan Zheng.

Xuan Zheng felt sad inside, but he said, "It's not good to do this in broad daylight. Let's wait until night and then..."

Before he could finish his words, Xuan Zheng was hit hard on the shoulder by Lin Chengyu's fingertips. He couldn't help but let out a sound of pain, "Good Chengyu, baby, just let go. I won't say anything more."

Lin Chengyu's unique trick works every time on Xuan Zheng.

Pinch Xuan Zheng's flesh with your fingertips and apply force, and Xuan Zheng will immediately start begging for mercy.

Lin Chengyu let him go, "Stop messing around, let's get down to business."

Xuan Zheng sat up, and as if on purpose, he didn't pull his clothes on his shoulders properly, and the red spot that was pinched was almost sticking to Lin Chengyu's face.

"You said."

When suppressing bandits, two of Xuan Zheng's men suddenly turned against them, and took advantage of the chaos to shoot an arrow at each of them.

In the chaotic situation, Xuan Zheng was pierced in the shoulder while trying to block the arrow for Lin Chengyu.

The two traitors turned around and tried to run away, but after being captured, before the jaws could be removed, one of them bit open the poison sac hidden in his mouth and committed suicide.

Lin Chengyu said: "Those two people are most likely not the same mastermind. The one who is locked up now does not have a poison sac in his mouth."

Xuan Zheng nodded in agreement, "I have sent someone to investigate. Within three days, we will be able to investigate them thoroughly."

"According to what you said, those two people have been with you for quite some time. They are either undercover agents or they were coerced and bribed." Lin Chengyu pulled Xuan Zheng's clothes. "Especially the one who wanted to assassinate you. If there is no powerful person behind him to protect him, it would be easy for him to die. Aren't you afraid of being implicated? I think the number of people who dare to offend you can be counted on one hand."

While the two were talking, the guard came to report, "Your Majesty, Young Master, the man refused to confess at first, but the interrogator said he would use torture, so he said that he took the risk because he had a blood feud with the Lin family."
