C111

Instantly, Eunuch Bai thought back to what Yu Niang had just said.

"So you were the one who hurt Miss."

"It seems like a lot of interesting things happened here last night." The Eunuch Bai said as he stood up, "However, how can Fourth Miss release so much cold air? If that's the case, then wouldn't it be a disaster for Fourth Miss? "

"Eunuch, there are traces of his foot stepping on the grass over there." Another Long Ying came forward and said.

"Let's go take a look." Eunuch Bai immediately flew towards that direction.

Following the trampled grass, the Eunuch Bai entered a dead end.

"There must be a mechanism. Search." Eunuch Bai ordered.

Immediately, all Long Ying began to search for the mechanism.

In the end, the Eunuch Bai looked at a protruding stone tablet, slowly walked over, and then touched it with his hand. Suddenly, Eunuch Bai used his strength to push the stone tablet down, and at the same time, a door opened up on the mountain wall.

Eunuch Bai was overjoyed.

As soon as the cave opened, the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

"Awoo!" A she-wolf jumped out of the cliff, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Long Ying and the others were shocked, they all wanted to attack the female wolf.

The she-wolf, seeing that she was outnumbered, turned and ran.

Eunuch Bai looked at the female wolf and went in immediately.

Inside were layer after layer of corpses. Some of them had their stomachs torn apart by the female wolves, while some of them had their cheeks bitten off. All of these miserable appearances were appalling.

Eunuch Bai kowtowed in disgust, and looked for the imprint on the corpse.

"Eunuch, there's a 'King' word for this last force." A Long Ying noticed and immediately said.

"Most of these people use sabers." Another Long Ying said.

"Eunuch, let's go here!" Another voice came from the depths of the cave.

Eunuch Bai took one last look at the corpses in the cave, "All of them were a bunch of people, could it be that these people killed each other?" With that, the Eunuch Bai walked towards the exit.

After exiting the cave, Eunuch Bai took a deep breath, and in the end, the air was still filled with the faint smell of blood.

"Why is there such a strong smell of blood outside the mountain?!" Eunuch Bai frowned, "Look around."

After a while, someone came back, "Eunuch, we found another group of corpses."

Eunuch Bai immediately rushed over.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Eunuch Bai waved his hand in front of him: "Look at the necks of these people."

Hearing the order, Long Ying immediately looked at the nape of those people, and saw the word 'King'.

Eunuch Bai checked his Broken Mountain once more, and in the end, he rushed towards the imperial palace with Long Ying.

Afternoon.

Beijing.

Shui’s Marion.

Chu Chen stopped with a head full of sweat. Seeing that Shui Qingyan's expression had eased up, Chu Chen let go of her and left while clutching his heart. "Looking carefully at Chu Chen's lips, there was a hint of black and purple.

Just as Chu Chen left, the Eunuch Bai landed in his room.

The palace.

Imperial Study.

Eunuch Bai told him everything he saw.

"Are you saying that the group of people were unknowingly annihilated by another group of people?" Yun Lancang looked at Eunuch Bai with a heavy expression.

"There's only one group of people in the cave. That's the most likely possibility." The Eunuch Bai nodded.

"Moreover, this servant checked the footprints inside and outside the cave and found that it was indeed a case of carrying heavy objects." Eunuch Bai's expression turned serious.

"From the looks of it, the money that the 18 tribes have been keeping in check these years has been caught by mantis." Yun Lancang pondered deeply, "There's so much gold, it's impossible for it to be taken away without leaving a trace."

Eunuch Bai also nodded nervously: "Unless the mantis stalks the cicada, and the person is near the Broken Mountain, and is able to hide the gold very well without anyone knowing."

Yun Lancang squinted: "Did the Prince Chu Palace detect anything out of the ordinary?"

Eunuch Bai shook his head, then took out a piece of cloth from his bosom. "Assistant Minister Ma intends to burn Zhang Mansion Yin at the eighteenth stronghold, so this servant saw the childhood friend who was by Fourth Miss' side save Zhang Mansion Yin. Now, Yu Niang has fallen into Assistant Minister Ma's hands." Every word that came from the Eunuch Bai said that Shui Qingyan was involved in this matter.

"What!" Yun Lancang immediately frowned, "Why is Qingyan related to this?"

"Listening to Yu Niang's tone, Fourth Young Miss is injured." Eunuch Bai passed the piece of cloth to Yun Lancang, "And it was Assistant Minister Ma who injured you."

Yun Lancang immediately took out a piece of cloth and said, "We have indeed gifted Xiang Yun Silk to you." After saying that, Yun Lancang's brows knitted together, "Go and take a look at the Shui’s Marion."

"Your servant has already left." The Eunuch Bai said, "Listen to your breathing, Fourth Miss is a little unstable, so there aren't any major problems. There are no obvious wounds on her body."

Hearing that, Yun Lancang frowned, "In your opinion, what is the reason for his unstable internal energy?"

Eunuch Bai shook his head: "This old servant does not dare to guess, this old servant also heard from Assistant Minister Ma that the Fourth Miss was from the Arcanist, and on the mountain, this old servant also saw bloodstains freezing the ants on the ground to death."

Yun Lancang's eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say!?"

Eunuch Bai bent down abruptly: "Fourth Miss' dantian is sealed with Coldness Poison, the only thing in this world that carries cold energy is Fourth Miss's blood."

Yun Lancang fiercely grabbed onto the paper on the table.

The air of the Imperial Study became sluggish.

Eunuch Bai bent his waist down once again. "Your Majesty, do not worry.

Closing his eyes, Yun Lancang took a deep breath, as he calmed the waves in his heart. "Go immediately to the Guoyuan Temple."

"Yes, fourth ring." Eunuch Bai bent his waist, lowered his eyebrows, and withdrew his Imperial Study.

After exiting the Imperial Study, Eunuch Bai heaved a long sigh of relief, and let out a heavy sigh.

From a distance, Eunuch Shou could see that Eunuch Bai had relaxed for a moment and a while.

Just as Eunuch Shou wanted to walk up, he saw Eunuch Bai flying away.

Glancing at the direction that Eunuch Bai left in, Eunuch Shou lifted his leg and entered the Imperial Study.

Imperial Study.

The Eunuch Shou stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Assistant Minister Ma has returned and is waiting at the entrance of the palace."

Yun Lancang was rubbing between his brows at this moment, and after hearing Eunuch Shou's words, he slowly opened his eyes.

Eunuch Shou looked at Yun Lancang's expression and spoke gently: "This old servant sent him away?"

Yun Lancang glanced at the Eunuch Shou, "Pass my decree to reward the bandits with wine. Those who follow the Assistant Minister Ma into the mountains are to be rewarded with fifty gold, and those who follow Zhang Mansion into the mountains are to be interrogated one by one tonight."

Eunuch Shou's heart jumped as he immediately lowered his head: "Here." From the looks of it, something had happened to the eighteen strongholds.

Prince Chu's Mansion, Liangming Courtyard.

Prince Chu was dressed in a dark green flowery silk gown, and headed towards Yi Ming Yuan in a hurry. He knew that Chu Chen was the one who did all eighteen strongholds, and he also understood that when Chu Chen did things, he was absolutely watertight and would not make the slightest of mistakes.

Seeing the Prince Chu coming from afar, with his brows tightly knitted, Liu Si immediately went forward to greet him. "Your Highness, prince has ordered that no one is to disturb him."

Prince Chu frowned: "Why?"

Liu Si pursed his lips and did not say a single word.

Prince Chu snorted coldly and flung his sleeves, preparing to enter.

Liu Si kneeled down, "I plead to Your Highness not to make things difficult for Liu Si."

The uneasiness in Prince Chu's heart was instantly magnified by Liu Si's actions. Prince Chu looked at the kneeling Liu Si and the sullen expression on his face was something that had never appeared before, "Something has happened to Little Chen!" Prince Chu's tone was ice cold like never before. The five words were certainty and not doubt.

Liu Si knew that he could not hide the truth about Chu Chen from the Prince Chu.

Immediately, Liu Si bit his lips: "Mr. Fang is saving you."

"Bastard thing!" Prince Chu kicked Liu Si's chest, with a flick of his sleeves, he rushed towards Chu Chen's room in the courtyard.

Liu Si held onto his chest, his lips had a hint of paleness, Prince Chu's kick had even caused his internal organs to tremble.

When he arrived at the door of Chu Chen's room, Prince Chu took a deep breath. He calmed himself down, pushed open the door, and quietly walked in.

Beside the bed, Mr. Fang had a serious expression as he gave Chu Chen a acupuncture point.

Prince Chu walked in and looked at Chu Chen who was lying down, his entire body covered in silver needles, his face was pale white and his lips purple.

"It's an internal injury." The Prince Chu slowly opened his mouth. His eyes were quiet, but behind the silence was the shock wave that a father brewed after seeing his son heavily injured.

"Yes." Mr. Fang hummed from his throat as he pierced the needle.

Hearing that, Prince Chu's heart slowly sunk. He was very clear on Chu Chen's strength, Liu Si was safe and sound, yet he was heavily injured.

"Impossible." "Liu Si has always been secretly protecting Little Chen in the shadows. How could Little Chen receive such heavy internal injuries? Even if it was one on one, there shouldn't be not a single wound on Little Chen's body."

Mr. Fang took out a silver needle from a container filled with black medicinal juice and began to roast it on top of the fire. When the silver needle had turned from white to completely black, Mr. Fang took out a silver needle and inserted it into Chu Chen's acupuncture points.

"prince's internal injuries were not caused by fighting, but because his internal energy was depleted and he was unable to control the poison, causing it to invade his heart." Mr. Fang repeated his previous actions, "The poison has been released twice this month, the situation isn't looking good."

Hearing that, Prince Chu frowned: It was not caused by the battle?

"Yes." Mr. Fang nodded, then turned around to look at Prince Chu, "prince still has signs of being invaded by the cold energy. It's strange, but the cold energy entering prince's body is actually intertwined with the poison."

"Cold air invades!" As the words left his mouth, his face suddenly darkened, "What kind of cold energy is it, that Mr. Fang might be able to scout it out?"
