The sound was so mournful and pitiful.

However, for Di Jingling, whose expression remained unchanged, there was absolutely no wavering.

Three days later.

The news of Mu Gucheng's death was like a wake-up call for the entire Shensuan Mountain.

Meanwhile, Xiao Rourou, who was imprisoned, had been locked up for many days, but Di Yanhen had not come to rescue her.

While Xiao Tang was busy with her own pharmacy, she also had another shop that Di Jingling had given her last time.

Xiao Tang was in a hurry to find the poison.

At this moment, Ruyi arrived at the shop and saw Xiao Tang looking at the account book. She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, our pharmacies in the East and West cities have now opened, but I see that no one goes into the pharmacy in the West city."

Is the feng shui bad...?

Ruyi didn't dare to say the last sentence.

Xiao Tang glanced at her lazily, "No rush, no rush. We're a good pharmacy, someone will find out eventually."

Ruyi felt that what she said was absolutely right.

He nodded repeatedly.

"Your Highness is right! Then... there are always beggars loitering around the west gate, affecting our business, is that right?"

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Xiao Tang almost vomited blood.

Why didn't you tell her the important thing sooner!

Ruyi scratched her head, "This servant just wants to..."

What are you waiting for? Go and chase those beggars away!

She had consulted a fortune teller before, and the feng shui of this shop in the west of the city was indeed not very good.

Even so, she can still change the feng shui by simply covering herself with talismans.

Therefore, he pasted the talismans in various hidden corners of the pharmacy to prevent customers from discovering them.

Unexpectedly, before the bad luck had even dissipated, a beggar appeared.

She hurriedly took Ruyi to the shop in the west of the city.

Sure enough, I saw a row of beggars sitting there with bowls in their hands, like an organized and disciplined group waiting to be tipped.

Xiao Tang's eyebrows twitched as she watched.

The lead beggar saw that she was dressed in noble clothes and knew at a glance that she was a person of extraordinary status. He immediately said, "Madam, please have mercy and give me some money."

The other person quickly picked up the worn-out bowl and handed it to Xiao Tang.

"Yes, madam, it's better to pay to avoid trouble."

"Your pharmacy is jinxed. Spending a little money can get rid of the bad luck, don't you think?"

Xiao Tang was truly amused by the beggar's words, "Heh, you my foot!"

You can tell from the beggar's appearance that he's no ordinary person.

What a waste of money to avoid trouble.

They were clearly just being paid off.

"Madam, please don't be angry. We're just begging for food here..."

Xiao Tang got angry and punched one of them on the head.

Thump!

"Ouch!" The beggar fell to the ground in pain, looking at Xiao Tang with great surprise.

Xiao Tang put her hands on her hips, her tone sharp, "Tell me, was someone instructing you? Explain yourself clearly, or else..."

Soon, he grabbed the other person's collar menacingly, his voice filled with anger, "I'll smash your head in!"

Ruyi was also dumbfounded.

I never imagined the princess could be so terrifying when she gets angry.

Because the princess always appeared so gentle and virtuous in front of the regent, the probability of her being fierce was extremely low.

It seems she was wrong.

"Or should I smash it now?"

Upon hearing this, Ruyi was even more astonished to discover that the princess had conjured up a club out of thin air, seemingly intending to beat someone to death.

She was so frightened that she rushed forward to stop him.

"Your Highness, please calm down."

"Let's keep talking, but let's not let it escalate to the point of causing a death."

Xiao Tang glanced at Ruyi speechlessly.

She just said it casually, just to scare these beggars.

That girl, Ruyi...

Fine, she can just keep acting like that!

Xiao Tang said fiercely, "I'm telling you, I mean what I say. Are you going to tell me or not?"

"We're really just begging for food..."

Thump!

It came down with a hammer.

However, the force was very light.

The beggar was still hit, fell to the ground, and saw stars.

Touching his head, the beggar looked utterly astonished. "You..."

"Let me tell you, if I really do knock you out, you might not even have your head left."

Xiao Tang raised the mallet in her hand, just about to strike...

"Xiao Tang!"

A shout froze Xiao Tang's hand in mid-air.

She turned her head, puzzled.

When she saw that the person who had scolded her was Princess Huaiyu, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, she raised an eyebrow.

Di Ningyue's tone was unfriendly: "Although I don't know what you did, as the Regent's Consort, it is wrong of you to beat up a beggar on the street."

She looked at one of the beggars, "There are so many beggars, you could just give them some money and send them away, but you..."

After saying this, he looked at her with sympathy and pity.

Xiao Tang secretly rolled her eyes.

"It seems these beggars were invited by the princess?"

Di Ningyue's expression changed, and she quickly shook her head, "Don't throw mud at me like that. I didn't find any beggars to bring bad luck to your shop."

Xiao Tang raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"How did you know I was going to say you sent a beggar to my shop? I haven't said it yet."

She crossed her arms and smiled knowingly.

It turns out that this was Hua Ningyue's doing.

Xiao Rourou was imprisoned in a dark dungeon, Di Yanhen escaped and betrayed the country, and even their proud Xuan Yi Master died. So Hua Ningyue is now... deliberately causing trouble?

"Nonsense!"

Do you have any evidence?

After scolding her, Di Ningyue turned and left.
