Nanzhi put the things she was carrying on the table, glanced around, and didn't see her senior brother.
Did you go out to practice martial arts again?
Her senior brother and she were not from the same organization. He was the eldest disciple of the prestigious Wanjian Pavilion, named Shi Xiangming.
When she was young, she was always bullied because her martial arts skills were too weak. After secretly learning a few moves from him, her martial arts skills improved. From then on, she liked to call him her senior brother.
Her senior brother was four years older than her. Over the years, she had not revealed her identity as an assassin and had always approached him as a disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect.
My senior brother has a very good temper and is a very nice person. Every time she comes, he will leave the door open for her and even leave some good food for her.
She searched the area but found nothing to eat. Instead, she discovered an exquisite wooden box on a table near the window.
I've never seen this before, what is it?
Out of curiosity, she opened the box and found a gold hairpin inside.
Her eyes lit up, and she took out the hairpin, the tip of which was inlaid with a red plum blossom, which was very beautiful.
Could it be that my senior brother has already guessed that she is a woman?
Nanzhi was both excited and expectant. She quickly took out the sachet from her clothes, and the broken half of the python's tail came out with it as she did so.
She casually stuffed it back in, untied the sachet, and sure enough, saw several medicinal herbs inside.
She smelled it; it was all sliced up. She didn't know what it was. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth to chew and see if it was the antidote, the door was pushed open from the outside.
She smelled a familiar scent; her senior brother had returned.
She hurried over with the sachet in her hand.
"Senior brother, you're finally back."
As soon as Shi Xiangming entered the room, he saw Nan Zhi. He was startled and his brows furrowed slightly, but his tone was gentle, "Why are you here?"
Shi Xiangming was good-looking, with a handsome appearance and a bright, upright aura.
Nanzhi just loves his righteous side.
Thinking of this, Nan Zhi grabbed Shi Xiangming's hand and led him to the table, saying with a proud look, "Senior brother, look what I brought you!"
As she spoke, she untied the screen.
Shi Xiangming looked at the various precious porcelain pieces displayed before him.
A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He stepped forward and touched the porcelain pieces. The texture was excellent, and he could tell at a glance that they were very valuable.
He had just picked up a porcelain vase to examine it with great interest when he noticed a red seal on the bottom.
Shi Xiangming looked at it carefully and saw four characters: "Seal of the Crown Prince".
His pupils contracted, and he almost dropped the porcelain bottle in his hand.
He put down the porcelain bottle and looked at the others; all of them had those four characters printed on them.
There was also a cloak placed to the side, with a giant python embroidered on the back.
It all belongs to the Crown Prince.
"Where did all these things come from?"
Nan Zhi replied calmly, "It was obtained from the Crown Prince."
Sure enough, Shi Xiangyang almost lost control of his expression. He said in a serious tone, "Return it back immediately, or your life will be in danger."
Nanzhi was quite happy that her senior brother was so worried about her.
"No need, this was given to me by the Crown Prince. It's alright, Senior Brother, please feel free to use it."
Shi Xiangming asked incredulously, "The Crown Prince gave it to you?"
Nanzhi nodded, "Yes, look, and this too, he gave it to me. It even has gold thread on it. You can pick it out and exchange it for money. I gave it to my senior brother too."
Shi Xiangming looked at the fabric in her hand, and his gaze paused again when he saw the section of the python's tail.
How could the Crown Prince possibly give her these things?
Did she go rob someone again?
"Nanzhi, listen to me," he said in a deep voice. "These things are for the Crown Prince's exclusive use. We have no right to use them. Even if he gave them to you, we cannot take them out to exchange for money. Return them immediately!"
“No, I took this with great difficulty.” Nan Zhi disagreed. “If you don’t dare to use it, I’ll exchange it for money and then give it back to you.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiangming sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, then so be it. But you don't need to give me the money you get; keep it for yourself."
"That won't do, my money is my senior's money."
Nanzhi chuckled, rolled up the screen, picked up her cloak, and walked outside.
Shi Xiangming watched her retreating figure, a slight smile curving his lips, as if he couldn't do anything about her.
Nanzhi only remembered what she had said after she had walked away.
What do you mean her money is her senior's money?
She's a heartless killer, how could she be so cowardly as to say such a thing upon seeing that hairpin?
Fortunately, my senior brother wasn't a bad person, and he never accepted the money she gave him.
Although he had accepted it a few times before, it was all because she forced him to give it to her. He had no choice but to accept it and said he would keep it safe for her and save it for her to use when she got married.
Thinking about it, Nanzhi still felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Shi Xiangming was right. When Nan Zhi tried to exchange those things for money, the pawnshops refused to accept them and even secretly reported the case to the police.
Nanzhi was chased by the soldiers and had to hide in various places. In the end, she had no choice but to put those things in her hiding place.
Then they started examining the medicine inside the sachet.
She didn't know what kind of medicine it was, so she took it out to ask the doctor.
To her surprise, the doctor said that these were just some calming herbs, not the medicine she was looking for.
She had no choice but to go back to the Eastern Palace to find medicine.
Nam Gyi is active at night.
The guards at the south gate of the East Palace were lax, and she easily climbed over, flew onto the roof, and headed straight for the main hall.
She was extremely skilled in light-footed movements, and without making a sound on the rooftop, she quickly arrived at the main hall.
She gently lifted a tile and looked down; Crown Prince Chu Yi was not there.
She had just put the tile down when she heard a cough.
The sound was coming from another place under the tiles.
She followed the sound, lifted a tile, and sure enough, saw a person.
To her surprise, Chu Yi was taking a bath.
He didn't use a bathtub, but a very large and luxurious hot spring pool.
Amidst the misty air, Nanzhi could only vaguely see Chu Yi leaning against the edge of the pool, her long, black hair cascading down her back. From her angle, she could also see her beautiful, sexy collarbone.
Nan Zhi narrowed her eyes and stared for a while before remembering her purpose.
Seeing that there was no one serving the other party and no one guarding outside, they realized that there was no one serving them and no one guarding them.
She knew her chance had come. She quietly climbed off the roof, gently pushed open the door, and went inside.
She lowered her voice and rummaged through the clothes he had laid out to the side, but couldn't find the medicine.
She was about to search other places when she suddenly heard the sound of water moving. She turned around and met Chu Yi's gaze.
"You've seen it, just in time." She strode over, drew her sword, and pressed it against his neck. "Didn't you get some kind of rhinoceros horn medicine a while ago? Hand it over, or I'll kill you!"
Chu Yi: ...

My wife has already threatened to kill me twice in such a short time! What should I do? I'm really worried. Waiting for your advice online! (◢д◣)
