"Your Highness, we were just about to look for you. I went to the kitchen to look for you but couldn't find you. Then I found this arrow. Your Highness is afraid something has happened to you."

Before Qin Mohan could reply, Thirteen spoke up.

After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"What's going on?" Qin Mohan asked, his brows furrowed.

Ye Qingcheng smiled and briefly recounted the story of the man in black.

"The man in black?"

"kindness!"

Where is that person?

"Dead."

Do you know who it is?

"I don't know. He was about to reveal who was behind it when he was poisoned and died."

"Come, take me there to have a look."

"No need to go look anymore, I've already checked, there's no identification mark on that person."

"Hmph, very well. Originally, I was still considering our brotherhood and didn't want to send them to their doom. I never expected that they would dare to attack you and Yu'er. They are courting death."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "Qin Mohan, it seems that tonight's incident was not the work of those two."

"kindness?"

"Just now, the man in black uttered a single, indistinct word before he died."

"What word?"

"I didn't hear clearly, it sounded like Liu."

"willow?"

"Hmm! They do look a bit like them, so I don't think it's those two."

After hearing this, Qin Mohan frowned and began to think.

"By the way, have you found the person who poisoned us?"

"No, isn't it that man in black?"

"No, I asked, and he wasn't the one who poisoned me."

"Not him?"

"Let's go back to the manor."

"good."

Then.

The four of them walked quickly back to the mansion.

"Mother...Miss...Princess..."

When Ye Jingyu, Xiao Tao, and the others saw Ye Qingcheng return, they were all overjoyed and shouted.

Ye Jingyu rushed over and hugged Ye Qingcheng's legs tightly.

"Mother, are you alright? I was so worried about you."

Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng smiled, bent down and picked him up.

"Don't worry, Mother is fine."

"Uh-huh!"

Ye Jingyu nodded happily.

When Xiao Tao and the others heard Ye Qingcheng say that everything was alright, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, was it the person who shot the arrow who poisoned it?"

"no."

Huh? No?

The group was quite puzzled after hearing this.

Qin Mohan then looked at the servants again.

"If the person who poisoned us tonight is not found, you will all wait here for me."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, then lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

At this moment.

"Ah! What are you doing? Let me go!"

A voice reached everyone's ears.

Everyone looked over.

Qinglian and Ningxin were seen leading a maid and a man dressed as a servant, respectively, toward the courtyard.

Qin Mohan looked at the maid and the man, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold aura emanated from him.

Ye Qingcheng also looked at the two people, her brows furrowing slightly.

This way.

When Yunying saw the maid and the man, he trembled, his face turned pale, and he was filled with fear.

What happened? Didn't Mingyu leave the palace with that person? How come she was caught and brought back by these two lowly bastards?

At this moment.

Qinglian and Ningxin also brought the two people to Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, and your servants, we saw these two acting suspiciously in the Flower Falling Courtyard."

After hearing this, Qin Mohan turned to look at Yun Ying.

"Yunying, is this maid your servant?"

"Brother Han... Brother Han..."

"explain."

Yun Ying was startled by Qin Mohan's shout and hesitantly replied, "Yes."

"Miss, save me."

At this moment, the maid shouted at Yunying.

However, before Yun Ying could answer the maid, Qin Mohan asked again in a cold voice.

"Didn't you say she went out of the manor to buy you pollen?"

"I…"

Yun Ying was speechless for a moment, then his mind raced and he looked at the maid.

"Mingyu, didn't I tell you to go to the street to buy pollen? What are you doing here?"

“Miss Hua…Miss…I…” Mingyu wanted to say something, but after seeing Yunying giving her a meaningful look, she stopped.

"I was going to buy you some pollen, but my cousin came looking for me and I forgot for a moment."

"Is that your cousin?"

"Yes."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the man.

However, at this time...

Granny Hua frowned slightly and pointed at the man, saying, "Your Highness, it seems like he's the one I saw in the kitchen."

Upon hearing this, the man trembled and was filled with fear.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng both looked at the man with extremely cold eyes.

"Speak! Who ordered you to do this?"

The man trembled again upon hearing Qin Mohan's question and turned to look at Mingyu.

Mingyu was also extremely flustered at this moment, but she still pretended to be calm and defended the man.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Please spare my cousin! We are truly in love."

"Is it mutual affection?"

"Yes."

"Alright, Steward Wang, take a few men and tie them up to that pillar."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Mingyu, though not understanding why Qin Mohan wanted to tie them up, knew very well that it was definitely not a good thing. She immediately became anxious and broke free from Qinglian's grasp.

She knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please, spare me and my cousin! I know that we are not allowed to have affairs while we are still in the manor, but my cousin and I did not have affairs, we just talked."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan gave a cold laugh: "Not bad, even at a time like this, you can still remain so calm and change the subject."

After saying that, he looked at Yun Ying and said, "Not bad! I really didn't know that you had such a courageous maid by your side."

"Brother Han..."

"Butler Wang, what are you standing there for?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You, you, go and tie them up."

"yes."

"Miss, please save me."

Seeing that she was about to be tied up, Mingyu looked at Yunying again for help.

"Brother Han, Mingyu..."

"Yunying, it's best you don't know about this. If you do..."

"If you knew about it, or if you instructed it, I will make you regret ever being born."

Before Qin Mohan could finish speaking, Ye Qingcheng spoke up in a cold voice.
