"Ah..." The man roared in pain, dirty blood flowing down his body, new and old wounds piled up, and the fishy smell was strong, but he could no longer utter a word and could only make ambiguous sounds.

Xiao Yunci's expression did not change, but his tone was somewhat gentle, as if he was coaxing someone, "It's too late, I have already guessed it."

The man looked at him in despair, as if he was looking at some evil ghost, fear filled his eyes and he howled.

"I remember that all of you are deadly warriors." Xiao Yunci's mouth was still curved, as if he was joking, "Why, did you forget to bring the poison pill?"

Then he asked, "Do you need help?"

The man shook his head and struggled, but Deng Wu held him down tightly, like a fish jumping on a chopping board.

Just as Deng Wu was about to take action, Xiao Yunci raised his hand and suddenly turned his chin.

With a "click", the man's eyes widened and he lost his life in an instant, like a tattered rag doll with a broken neck.

"Get rid of it." Xiao Yunci stood up, grabbed the handkerchief with dark red "petals" on the table and wiped his hands. Instantly, a few more blood-red "petals" appeared, which were darker than the previous ones.

The man was dragged away, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

Not long after, Deng Wu took a rag and scrubbed the floor himself, carefully looking at the tall back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the pool, thinking in his heart.

Your Highness is in a really bad mood today.

…

When Wen Ning walked out of Qingning Palace, she seemed to hear a scream. She trembled all over and turned around to look back. All she saw were trees, flowers and plants, full of vitality, and nothing else.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Qingyue asked puzzledly.

"Did you hear anyone screaming?" Wen Ning became more and more certain that what he saw on the ground of the viewing pavilion was blood, and what he smelled was also the smell of blood.

"What screams? There weren't any." Qingyue shook her head in confusion, "Girl, are you too nervous?"

"Maybe..." Wen Ning also felt that she was too frightened. Could the fishy smell in the pavilion be fishy? Was the blood on the ground... spilled tea?

But the handkerchief that Xiao Yunci used to wipe his hands popped up in her mind. There were red spots on it, like bright red flowers.

She seemed to take a quick look before she left, and the flowers on the handkerchief seemed to have become darker in color than when she first arrived.

Wen Ning shuddered, not daring to think any more, and quickened her pace, "Let's go, let's go..."

She had to find an opportunity to find the Queen Mother.

Not long after, a large group of people came to Yongning Palace.

It turned out that someone from the palace had sent clothes, accessories, and some daily necessities.

Wen Ning thanked the palace maid who came to deliver the gift, but saw a meaningful smile on the eunuch's face.

"The Emperor has ordered that today is specially for you to recuperate. Tomorrow, you must dress up nicely. Prince Bigler wants to enjoy the flowers and invites you to accompany him. You must cooperate, or you will suffer."

Wen Ning was startled and said quickly, "Eunuch, I'm not feeling well and can't be too tired. Can we wait another day..."

"The emperor said to let the imperial physician follow you. Even if you faint, he can cure you on the spot. Don't refuse, young lady." Eunuch Zhang seemed to have expected her to say this and said with a smile, "Besides, Prince Bigler won't wait too long. If you don't want him to come here to look for you in person, you should cooperate."
