Yang Defu asked, puzzled: "The Regent?"

Why aren't you leaving?

[Host, the Invisibility Pill can be exchanged, but it only lasts for the duration of a cup of tea and requires 500 points.]

[You swindler! You charged me so much for a 15-minute service?!]

[Host, what we're saying is that the Invisibility Pill is a very dangerous pill. If you're going to give it to Murong Ze, then you'll have to take certain risks. So, we'll use 500 points to avoid trouble.]

[Cut off my ass!]

Following Na Na's heartfelt words, Di Jingling immediately turned around and headed in the opposite direction.

Yang Defu looked completely bewildered and hurriedly caught up with him. "No, Your Highness, what's going on?"

"The prison we're going to is over there."

"Shut up!" Di Jingling's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

Yang Defu had never seen a regent like this before and was so frightened that he fell silent.

At this moment, Xiao Tang was negotiating with the system, but the Regent's "Shut up" echoed through the already quiet corridor.

Even though it was from such a distance and sounded somewhat ethereal, Xiao Tang was still certain that it was the voice of the main villain!

This villain is really something else. She's been trying to ambush him on the street every day for the past few days, but all her efforts have been in vain.

She finally decided to take matters into her own hands and came to this prison, but unexpectedly she encountered the big villain.

So much time has passed!

Isn't that a coincidence?

It's both incredibly coincidental and baffling, leaving me speechless and on the verge of tears.

Xiao Tang secretly rubbed his forehead, really wanting to curse.

The system is still asking: [Host, do you still want to exchange for this Invisibility Pill?]

【Exchange!】 Xiao Tang knew that things had already come to this point, and there was no turning back.

It's just 500 points.

She felt it was worth it to exchange 500 points for a medicinal herb that could only be obtained with 100,000 points.

[Congratulations, host! The exchange was successful. Your current points are:]

Xiao Tang was not happy to hear this number.

She vowed that even if she had earned 100,000 points, she would never use them to exchange for medicinal herbs, unless she overindulged.

She took the invisibility pill and returned to Murong Ze's prison.

Although she released the criminals right under the nose of the main villain, she felt no guilt whatsoever.

She had specifically inquired before coming in today and learned that someone else had been arrested and imprisoned. The Regent would definitely be going to see the traitor and wouldn't notice Murong Ze.

Murong took the pill from Xiao Tang and swallowed it without hesitation.

Seeing how calmly he ate, Xiao Tang couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Fortunately, it was a non-toxic invisibility pill. If it had been any other poison, the child would have died if he had swallowed it.

The pill takes effect immediately once it enters the stomach.

The person who takes this pill feels nothing at all.

Let's go.

Xiao Tang took off her hairpin and opened the prison door for him.

As for what she could see with her own eyes, she had no idea where the man was.

Murong, unaware of her own situation, simply followed closely behind Xiao Tang, her body tense and radiating worry.

He was unaware that he was invisible, and he was extremely nervous with every step he took, like a frightened bird.

Xiao Tang had no idea how immature and ridiculous Murong Ze was, who was following behind her.

Only one voice inside her urged: Go!

Therefore, she quickened her pace.

Murong caught up with Xiao Tang from behind, his face full of surprise and doubt.

He was just about to ask Xiao Tang why she left in such a hurry.

The more anxious one appears, the more likely they are to arouse suspicion.

However, he immediately fell silent when he saw the two figures.

His first instinct was to hide.

But there was nowhere for him to hide in this long passageway.

Until Xiao Tang said, "Don't worry, stand still!"

These words were uttered through clenched teeth.

The voice was also kept very low.

Murong was initially quite flustered, but Xiao Tang's warning made him surprisingly calm.

He always had an indescribable and repulsive sense of trust in Xiao Tang.

The two figures approaching were the Regent and General Yang.

Di Jingling was in front, and Yang Defu followed behind.

Xiao Tang, a patrolling constable, stood there abruptly, which seemed particularly strange.

Yang Defu exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you, a mere yamen runner, kneel down and pay your respects to the Regent?"

After being reminded by Yang Defu, Xiao Tang slowly curtsied to the two of them.

"This humble servant greets Your Highness and General Yang."

He used a deep male voice to change his voice.

With the stubble covering half her face, it actually looks surprisingly natural.

Yang Defu naturally had no more doubts.

He said to the Regent, "This is just a patrolling guard. Your Highness is getting a little too worked up."

Indeed, I was too excited.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this princess was in prison.

Otherwise, who else could make the Regent run so fast?

Upon hearing this, Di Jingling suddenly glared at Yang Defu.

"Are you blind? This patrolling guard looks suspicious."

Yang Defu was taken aback by the retort.

He looked at Xiao Tang awkwardly.

He wouldn't have overthinked it if it weren't mentioned, but after Di Jingling's reminder, he gradually began to find Xiao Tang very suspicious.

He pinched his chin.

He muttered to himself, "I have to say, the more I look at this guard, the more suspicious he seems."

[Suspicious? Suspicious my foot! Haven't you ever seen a guard with a beard before?]

[You, Dove, as a chocolate, how come you're not sweet or smooth at all?]

She glanced furtively at Di Jingling's expression and spoke in a composed manner: "Your Highness, you have truly misunderstood. This humble servant is merely here on patrol. If you don't believe me, look behind you—there's no one there!"

Murong, who had been holding his breath, suddenly pointed at himself.

But as he pointed, he realized something was wrong.

He looked up at the two people, seemingly unaware of his presence.

Di Jingling's gaze swept over him, seemingly carrying a penetrating force, as if it could pierce through his body and look through him to the cell behind him.

Yang Defu also realized something was wrong, glanced at the cell, and shouted excitedly.

"This is it! Murong Ze has disappeared!"

Yang Defu pointed to the prison door not far away and immediately reached out and grabbed Xiao Tang.

Without a doubt, this guard is the only suspicious person who let Murong Ze go!

However, the finger had just been extended and hadn't even touched Xiao Tang's clothes when it was kicked away by Di Jingling.

Don't touch her!

Those three words conveyed an indescribable sense of hostility.

Yang Defu was completely kicked away, caught off guard and a little dazed.

He had no idea what had happened and looked at Di Jingling in confusion.

At this moment, Murong Ze was 100% certain that they truly could not see him.

Everyone else would only notice that there was no one in the prison, but only Xiao Tang noticed that Di Jingling's attitude was strange and that he wouldn't let Yang Defu touch her.

Could it be...?

Have you discovered my secret?

The man suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes sharp and piercing.

That look would have terrified anyone else, but Xiao Tang remained calm and even raised her head with a slight smile.
