Yuan Zhan had been running in Baishan for a while when he suddenly felt his eyes blurred and saw a vague shadow of his father.

This phantom only had a head, which was particularly creepy late at night. Yuan Zhan was so scared that he almost screamed, but fortunately he covered his mouth in time.

But Prince Rui's head snapped and he said quickly, "Run away! The murderer is not dead!"

After saying this, the phantom of the head quickly dissipated.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhan quickly took out a blade and slashed at his neck.

The life-saving trump card on his body took effect and instantly teleported Yuan Zhan thousands of miles away.

…

…

"Yuan Zhan escaped." After searching Prince Rui's mansion, Lan Zhi's eyes darkened slightly.

The Lan family is weak and does not have many people under their command to search for Yuan Zhan's whereabouts. However, there are some things that do not require personal effort and one can use others to kill people.

"Do you need me to help you find him?" Zhu Tong asked. A cold aura emerged from her body, and she was ready to let her spiritual power continue to spread outward to find Yuan Zhan's whereabouts.

"No need to go through so much trouble." Lan Zhi said. She took out a mask magic weapon and covered her face. Soon, her appearance and temperament changed. She became taller, her facial features were ordinary, and her round face was very ordinary, but it made people feel very friendly.

"It's wonderful!" Zhu Tong was extremely surprised. He immediately stepped forward and put his arms around Lan Zhi's waist.

Lan Zhi: “…”

Why does my sister always like to touch her...

However, since they were of the same sex, Lan Zhi did not push her away. She just said, "I will go to the princess's mansion as the genius doctor Tian Miao. Sister, please don't show up then."

"Okay." Zhu Tong nodded, and then two dark green clouds appeared under his feet again. His body flew into the air and sent Lan Zhi to the door of Princess Chenxi's bedroom.

"Who is it?" The princess's mansion was heavily guarded. A maid holding a lamp vaguely saw two figures appear. As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that the figures had "disappeared".

A look of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the maid holding the lamp. Was she dazzled?

No, even if you are dizzy, you should wake up the princess in time and make sure she is safe.

The maid holding the lamp raised her hand to knock on the door, but just as she raised her hand, a cold breath descended upon her, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She froze in place, unable to move.

But to her horror, the door of the princess's boudoir was actually opened!

The maid holding the lamp opened her eyes wide. In fact, her pupils could clearly reflect Zhutong and Tianmiao, but for some reason, her mind subconsciously ignored these two figures, as if she could not see anything.

Princess Chenxi's boudoir is divided into an inner room and an outer room. The princess sleeps in the inner room, while two maids live in the outer room. Once the princess gets up at night, these two maids will get up to serve her. The two maids are light sleepers, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, they quickly got up. In the outer room stood two gold-carved hollow plum blossom lanterns. The candlelight swayed in the lanterns, but no human figures were reflected. The door closed automatically. The two maids screamed, but fell asleep together.

Zhu Tong said softly, "Go in, I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay." Lan Zhi responded and walked towards the inner room. Suddenly, she remembered that she was a man now and should avoid suspicion. She stopped at the door of the inner room and called out, "Chenxi?"

"Hmm..." Jun Chenxi heard someone calling her, her eyebrows furrowed, and she murmured, "Who is it..."

"Chenxi, I am Tianmiao."

"Tian Miao... Tian Miao?" Jun Chenxi sat up suddenly, put on her shoes and wanted to go out. Halfway through, she realized that she was only wearing a thin white underwear, so she turned back to get her outer skirt, put it on while walking out. Seeing Tian Miao, Jun Chenxi said guiltily, "I'm sorry..."

"Hmm?" Lan Zhi was stunned. "Sorry for what?"

Jun Chenxi said, "That day you gave me three Chengyuan Pills and asked me to auction them, but when I was halfway there, the pills were snatched away..."

Lan Zhi was slightly surprised. She had never heard of the auction, but today Prince Rui died from the Jiexiang Pill. Lan Zhi thought that Jun Chenxi had specially organized a secret auction that only the powerful and influential could attend, so she didn't spread the news. After all, ordinary people could not afford such expensive pills. However, she didn't expect that there was no auction at all.

Jun Chenxi added: "The person who stole the elixir is..."

Lan Zhi continued, "Prince Rui."

Jun Chenxi said, "He snatched all three pills away. It's all my fault that I'm incompetent and can't get them back. But don't worry, I won't shirk my responsibility. I've prepared many precious spiritual objects. I know they can't compare to the Chengyuan Pill, so I will find a way to compensate you more..."

Lan Zhi waved her hand and said, "No need. Since Prince Rui has taken away all three pills, I feel relieved. In fact, those pills are not called Chengyuan Pills, they are called Jiexiang Pills, which are poisonous pills targeting Chengyuan realm practitioners. My original goal was to kill Prince Rui, and now he has taken away the pills, which is just right."

"W-what?" Jun Chenxi felt that his brain was confused for a moment. Those three pills were actually poison pills?

Lan Zhi said, "More than ten years ago, a relative of mine passed through the Great Rui Kingdom and was killed by Prince Rui. I have always wanted to avenge my relative, but my own strength does not allow it, so I had to resort to poisoning... Today, Prince Rui has already taken the Jiexiang Pill."

Jun Chenxi asked, "Then... has Prince Rui's poison taken effect?"

"The body is dead." Lan Zhi answered conservatively. On the way, Zhu Tong said that Prince Rui's body had indeed lost its vitality, but there was no trace of soul around his body. It was a bit strange. Maybe the soul was still alive, but Zhu Tong didn't know where the soul was exactly. However, the Jiexiang Pill had destroyed the stability of his soul. Without a suitable parasitic spiritual device, Prince Rui's soul could only exist for a month at most and would completely dissipate.

"Prince Rui... is dead?" Jun Chenxi's eyes flashed with shock, confusion, joy, and disbelief. Her emotions were very complicated. She reached out and grabbed Lan Zhi's arm, asking anxiously, "Where did he die? Can you take me to see?"

Not far away, Zhu Tong stared sharply at Jun Chenxi's hand that was grabbing Lan Zhi, and her green eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.

Jun Chenxi felt inexplicably cold, so he let go of his hand and groped his arm.

Zhu Tong finally regained her composure.

Lan Zhi replied, "Prince Rui died in Baishan, and I took his body away. However, Crown Prince Yuan Zhan's whereabouts are unknown. He may have escaped."

Jun Chenxi said: "I will go tell the news to father right away!"

Lan Zhi nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'm here to say goodbye to you today. I'm leaving the Kingdom of Da Rui."

She probably won't appear as Tian Miao again in the future.

"Tian Miao..." Jun Chenxi was extremely reluctant to leave and begged, "Before you leave, can you meet my brother? My brother really wants to see you."
