Qingxin Courtyard.

Xiao Tang walked back and forth in the courtyard with her arms crossed.

[The host can also complete various side tasks assigned by the system to accumulate points.]

[I believe the host will soon accumulate 100,000 points.]

I don't believe you! You old geezer, you're the worst!

Xiao Tang was too lazy to expose the system's intentions.

For her to accumulate 100,000 points, the points required for the tasks assigned by the system must be exactly the same.

Just like these past few times, each completed task awards 5,000 points. It's rare for such high-point tasks to appear several times in a row.

The system is so stingy.

Yan Shi returned at that very moment.

He had blood on him.

Just then, Ruyi, who was also returning, bumped into them and exclaimed in surprise.

The man's face was stained with blood.

Xiao Tang rushed forward, "Are you hurt?"

He gently shook his head and handed her one of the jade pendants, saying, "This jade pendant fell from one of the assassins' hands."

The jade pendant is engraved with the character "算" (suàn).

Isn't this Shensuanshan's own jade pendant?

Fighting among their own people?

Or perhaps the sect leader was driven down the mountain; otherwise, why would she have been given the jade thumb ring that represented the sect leader's status?

This is a real hot potato.

Xiao Tang turned the jade pendant over, and three words were written on it: "Second Senior Brother".

Is Shensuan Mountain embroiled in internal strife?

This wasn't mentioned at all in the story.

She turned the jade pendant over and over, looking at it from all angles, lost in thought.

Seeing her like this, Yan Shi said, "Your Highness, this matter is ultimately a matter of Shensuan Mountain, so let's not get involved."

For some unknown reason, Yan Shi's face showed a hint of annoyance.

"What's more, this sect leader was ungrateful back then and drove the prince down the mountain. Now, I've actually saved him?"

"If the prince finds out about this, he will surely punish me."

Xiao Tang turned to look at him and said, "You can rest assured about that. I won't tell your prince."

She was also thinking of going up the mountain to get medicine.

Trying to accumulate 100,000 points to exchange for a single medicinal herb seems like a huge waste.

It would be better to search for the medicinal herbs yourself.

The moon shines through the window.

A gentle night breeze is blowing; summer is drawing to a close.

The night in the Prince's mansion had a slight autumn chill, a coolness that seeped into the heart and soul.

Xiao Tang instructed the system to hand over the contents of that book, which she then carefully copied down.

In this way, the book "Complete Guide to Curing Gu" is no longer a mysterious thing.

Just as he was copying the tenth antidote for the Gu poison, there was a knocking sound coming from the window.

She turned her head.

I saw quite a few pebbles fly into the house.

She put down her pen.

At the same time, the person who threw the stone jumped into the house.

"Little girl, didn't you ask me about that 'snake shrimp' today?"

That's right, it's that old man in the white and gray Taoist robe.

Xiao Tang looked at him and nodded slightly.

The old man shook his robes, revealing a meaningful smile, his narrow eyes gleaming with a cunning light.

He secretly approached Xiao Tang and said mysteriously, "Since you want to know, I can tell you."

Xiao Tang: ?

Then say it!

"Before I came down the mountain, I gave a piece of this Gu medicine to a person from the northern frontier."

Xiao Tang raised her left eyebrow.

There's a problem.

She looked at the old man calmly. "So?"

Hearing him start like that, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

“I felt a connection with that man from the northern frontier, so I gave him the gift. He is the young master Murong who was recently imprisoned in the imperial prison.”

"..."

So that's where she was waiting.

Xiao Tang let out a soft chuckle.

She crossed her arms and asked, "You mean you want me to release Murong Ze in exchange for this medicine?"

The old man was about to say that she was overthinking things, but then he met her cold, piercing gaze and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Yes...that's true."

It's utterly illogical that he was intimidated by this little girl's imposing manner.

Xiao Tang smiled.

Her smile was stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly so, that it made the old man tremble involuntarily.

He suddenly realized that Xiao Tang looked a lot like someone.

He was just too old and his memory wasn't very good. He racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Tangcai said slowly, "Since you have said so, I will naturally go to see Murong Ze. There is no need for you to worry."

"It's getting late, you can go now, right?"

"Hey, you little brat, you're so unfunny. You're just like that arrogant Regent's woman, humph!"

The old man walked away angrily, his hands behind his back.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "I came here out of kindness to tell you what medicinal herbs you wanted, and this is how you treat me! How awful!"

He looked as angry as an old rascal.

Xiao Tang was too lazy to refute anything.

Thinking of Murong Ze in the prison, a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.

When they went to look for Di Jingling, they found that the man had already retired for the day.

Isn't it a bit too early to take a break?

When Yan Jiu saw her, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, did you have a fight with the Prince?"

[Arguing? Did that really happen?]

How could I dare argue with him? If I did, wouldn't I get my skull smashed and die?

Xiao Tang's bewildered expression made Yan Jiu suspicious as well.

yes.

How could a gentle person like the princess possibly argue with the prince?

That……

"Can I go in?" she asked, blinking her doe-like eyes.

Even though her eyes were very beautiful at that moment, Yan Jiu still gave an awkward smile and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, His Highness has ordered that you are not allowed to go in."
