Chapter 227 Joining forces to destroy the Xie family
"What's the matter?" Shen Wan lay lazily on the bed without even washing her face.
Although she hadn't been back for a few days, Mrs. Li came to clean every day and the house was still spotless.
Xie Mubai walked forward and considerately took off her shoes for her.
"Now that I'm a Duke, and you're a Princess, I think we need a servant." He put his shoes on the floor and wet a towel to wipe her face. "In situations like today, a servant can do it. There's no need to bother Brother Hu."
As an official, it was indeed inconvenient for Hu Dahai to beat the people frequently.
Shen Wan's eyes turned and she smiled, "You don't want Black Hawk to come, do you?"
It's already embarrassing for a secret guard to dress up as a woman, and now he's a servant. Where can Black Hawk put his face?
Xie Mubai nodded: "If the Third Prince knew that my leg was healed, he would definitely rush to take action. We need to have a reliable person by our side."
"Although Hu Dahai is reliable, he has to escort the fugitives. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of it."
Shen Wan yawned and said tiredly, “You decide.”
She was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep without even drinking a sip of water.
Xie Mubai didn't sleep. He lay down next to her, secretly thinking about the third prince's next move.
Perhaps, they have to separate from Hu Dahai for a while.
The villain was right. At this time, the Third Prince did not know that the snow lotus had already entered the stomachs of the convicts, and he was still making plans in full swing.
"Can't I use ordinary snow lotus?" Chen Yan asked irritably. "If that doesn't work, I'll write a letter and ask my dad to help me find it!"
Since the fall of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Marquis of Xiangyang has become a popular figure in the court.
As long as he gives an order, countless people will come forward to serve him.
"Are you worried that not enough people know about the master's illness?" Zhao said coldly with a gloomy face.
Seeing Zhao being so disrespectful to her, Shen Yan's face darkened: "Mr. Zhao, are you looking for a beating?"
"If you have the ability, go find Xuelian!"
"It's not that I look down on you, but your family, which is not up to par with others, probably has never seen what a top-grade snow lotus looks like in their entire lives."
Zhao didn't say anything, but just lowered her head in grievance.
When the third prince saw this, he immediately felt unhappy.
If Chen Yan wasn't so useless, why would he lose 100,000 taels of silver and more than 20 well-trained guards?
What hurt him the most was the warehouse of Baotong Money House, which was the result of most of his hard work.
"Yan'er, what you said is a bit too much." He frowned slightly and looked at Chen Yan coldly.
Seeing that he was still protecting that woman, Shen Yan became annoyed and asked angrily: "Let me ask you, who are you helping?"
"You'd better think it through. Now that you have offended the old master, if you offend the Shen family again, you should know the consequences."
"Don't think you're special just because you're a prince. I don't have to marry you."
"As long as my father and I are willing, even the prince will not refuse this marriage!"
The third prince opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.
Although the prince is stupid, he is not foolish. How could he marry a woman with a bad reputation as his wife?
However, it is possible to be a concubine.
But no matter whether she was the principal wife or a concubine, he could not allow the Marquis of Xiangyang and the prince to join forces.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Third Prince frowned slightly and said unhappily, "What you should be most concerned about right now is helping me find the snow lotus, not arguing with your own people here!"
Chen Yan sneered and said, "How can we find it? Maybe that bitch has already stewed and eaten the snow lotus."
Zhao did not agree with her opinion, but did not say anything.
"She's willing to eat something so precious?" The Third Prince looked at her with some disdain. "Do you think she's deliberately trying to snatch the snow lotus from me?"
"Or rather, this hidden illness of mine is related to her!"
The woman was proficient in medicine, and her technique of giving herself acupuncture was extremely strange.
If she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, it didn't seem impossible.
"I think she did it too." Zhao said without even thinking.
She and Shen Wan have a grudge, so how could she miss the chance to get back at her?
Shen Yan also wished that Shen Wan would die immediately, but now she hated Zhao even more!
Along the way, the relationship between the third prince and Zhao was extremely ambiguous.
Although Zhao's status is not high enough to be the queen, it would be terrible if she gave birth to the child before herself.
A mother is honored by her son. Wasn't Concubine Yu promoted from female historian to concubine only after she gave birth to a child?
"I don't think that's possible!" Shen Yan rolled her eyes, deliberately adding to Zhao's frustration, "Didn't you hear that famous doctor say the prince has kidney deficiency?"
"Let me guess, maybe some vixen sucked the prince's yang energy away on the way?"
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince was so angry that his blood vessels almost burst and he died.
It is true that I am not a good person, but I definitely don’t take anything, whether good or bad, into my bed.
Just as he was about to explode, a guard hurried in.
"Master, there's news from the post station." He bent down slightly and said with some fear, "After Chen Wan took the snow lotus, she stewed it and fed it to the fugitives that night."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock: "Did you make a mistake?"
"Such expensive snow lotus, she gave it to the fugitives to eat?"
The guard nodded and explained truthfully: "He said that a fugitive was poisoned by the Miaojiang poison, so Chen Wan was anxious to find this snow lotus as a medicine."
When Zhao heard this, her face turned pale with fright.
"How's Dabao?" she asked impatiently, "Is he okay?"
The guard shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"One more thing, Xie Mubai's leg has healed, and he and Shen Wan went out together for a few days."
Originally, he thought that the snow lotus being eaten was a bolt from the blue, but when he heard this, the third prince was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
How could this happen? Is Xie Mubai’s leg healed?
That’s right, that little woman is very skilled in medicine.
It would be strange if his legs were not in good condition with her around.
But what about him going out with Shen Wan?
Suddenly, he remembered the more than 20 guards who died tragically outside the city.
When he saw the wounds on the bodies of the guards, he was still secretly confused.
The knife wound was inflicted by two people. One of them killed the man with one blow, which was steady, accurate and ruthless. Neither Hu Dahai nor Chen Wan had such skills.
Could it be that Xie Mubai knows martial arts?
Thinking of this, tiny beads of sweat appeared on the third prince's forehead.
"Go find out who poisoned us right away!" He frowned, a murderous look flashing through his eyes. "As long as we join forces with that person, we can destroy the Xie family!"
The guard heard this and immediately said, "Yes."
"But I suspect it was done by the Miaojiang Ling family."
“Chen Wan said that those fugitives were poisoned by Miaojiang, and the Ling family is the best at making poisons in Miaojiang.”
Miaojiang Ling family?
When the third prince heard this, he couldn't help but look happy.
