Chapter 124: Draw the snake out of its hole

Qi Heng and Lin Yunting shook their heads together. Lin Yunting said helplessly, "When the steward of the Princess's Mansion and we found the silver needle, he was very angry and said that we must investigate it strictly. But a eunuch came and whispered something to the steward. The steward's attitude suddenly changed. Although he was still polite, he did not allow us to interfere. He only said that the Princess's Mansion would investigate the matter and give an explanation to the Sixth Miss."

Qi Heng did not say a word. He was angry about the steward's change of attitude just now. He insisted on investigating it thoroughly, but was stopped by the people of the Princess's Mansion. This matter is strange. It seems that the Princess's Mansion has found out who is the person who wants to harm Minglan, but the Princess's Mansion wants to protect this person, so they are not allowed to continue to interfere.

But who exactly wanted to harm Minglan? If this person is not found, what should Minglan do if he attacks again next time? Not only Qi Heng was worried, but the others were also panicked, not knowing who could have done such a cruel thing.

Minglan looked through the crowd at the stands of Prince Yong's Mansion, but there was no one there. Minglan lowered her head, her face as gloomy as water.

People from the princess's mansion came over and brought a lot of medicinal herbs and supplements, as well as several sets of head ornaments. "The princess said that Miss Sheng Liu was frightened today, so these things can be considered as a gift to the girl. In addition, our mansion will thoroughly investigate the matter and give the girl an explanation."

Rulan on the side couldn't help but want to step forward to argue, why didn't they allow them to cooperate in the investigation, did they have something to hide. But she was held down by Hualan and Molan on both sides, and Minglan also grabbed her collar to signal her not to be impulsive. Rulan had no choice but to purse her lips and sulk, and said no more.

"Thank you, Princess Minglan. I'm sorry for the trouble you've taken to finding the person who harmed me. Please, eunuch, convey my apologies to you. I'm afraid the polo match may not be able to continue."

"You're too polite, Sixth Miss." The messenger eunuch took another box from the person beside him, inside which was an eight-treasure glazed hairpin. "This eight-treasure glazed hairpin is the prize of this polo match. The princess said that Sixth Miss's last goal was wonderful, and this hairpin should be yours."

Minglan did not refuse and took it. "Eunuch, please thank the princess again for me. I should have thanked the princess in person, but I was injured just now and can't get up now. I hope the princess will forgive me."

The eunuch glanced at Minglan's legs calmly and saw that she had not gotten up yet, so he guessed that she was injured. "We have invited a doctor to take a good look at the girl."

"Princess Lao and the eunuch are worried about her. It is not easy to treat the sixth sister here. We will take her back to the mansion now." Molan bowed to the eunuch.

The eunuch glanced at everyone again, did not insist, and took everyone away.

After this, everyone did not stay for long. They took Minglan to their own carriage and prepared to go back home. The other people were worried and followed to Sheng Mansion. When

Minglan returned to Sheng Mansion, Mingxi had received the news and was waiting at the gate. When he saw Minglan was carried down by Changbai, she almost fell down because of her weak legs. It was Chengzi who supported her.

Mingxi rushed to Minglan in tears and wanted to check her body, but he didn't know where to start. He didn't know where she was injured and was afraid of hurting her.

"Little lady, I'm fine. Let's go back home."

Everyone rushed to Chengxin Garden. Changbai put Minglan on the bed and everyone gathered around.

"Xiaoliu, you are not feeling well. I didn't hear you crying in pain just now at the polo field!" Ruolan asked anxiously.

"I'm fine. My legs are weak and I can't use them, but I don't want people to know that I'm fine." Minglan's words were meaningful. Then, she turned to look at Mingxi, "Little lady!"

"The doctor has been sent to invite someone. He is trustworthy. Don't worry."

Zhang Guifen stood aside and saw something and said, "Minglan, do you know who hurt you?"

Minglan and Mingxi looked at each other again, "I know!"

"You know? Then why didn't you say it at the polo field? That evil person should be severely punished!" No one said anything, only Ruolan was excited.

"Because there is no evidence! Because even if she kills me, she may not be punished! Because she can always find someone to take the blame for her!"

"Who is it?" Qi Heng asked.

Mingxi glanced at Qi Heng, and his eyes were full of resentment, "Young Master, don't you know who it is?"

Qi Heng couldn't understand what Mingxi meant, so Mingxi told everyone about He Qingmei's affairs. Finally, Mingxi asked Qi Heng, "Young Master, do you know that no girl who openly likes you will have a good ending!"

These words were not light, and Wang Ruofu didn't expect Mingxi to be so disrespectful to Qi Heng. She quickly smiled at Qi Heng and pulled Mingxi aside.

Qi Heng was shocked to hear this suddenly, and the others looked at each other, not understanding how Wei Xiaoniang came to this conclusion.

"The matter of Miss He may just be a coincidence. After all, those evil things were indeed caused by her. She may have offended someone else, not necessarily because of her love for Yuanruo." Lin Yunting wanted to defend Qi Heng.

Mingxi was too lazy to look at them. I know everything better than you, and you dare to defend me.

"Is this person the Lord of Jiacheng County?" Rulan asked weakly.

Everyone looked at Rulan, who said, "It was obvious that County Lord Jiacheng liked Brother Yuanruo at first sight, and what happened to He Qingmei happened after she had a dispute with him. She probably saw Xiaoliu and Brother Yuanruo getting too close at the polo match today, so she took action. This also explains why the people in the Princess's Mansion changed their attitude so quickly. Most importantly, I've heard about County Lord Jiacheng's arrogance."

After listening to Rulan's words, everyone looked at Minglan, who nodded, and the room became quiet again.

Qi Heng remembered the County Lord Jiacheng's interrogation when he met him at Yanqing Temple that day, and also remembered the County Lord Jiacheng's attitude when he met He Qingmei. So, was all of this his fault?

"But we can't let Minglan give up just because Jiacheng County Lord has taken a fancy to Qi Heng!" Zhang Guifen is a daughter of a general, and her words are also domineering.

"Of course not!" Minglan said firmly.

Qi Heng looked up at her, and they looked at each other in silence. Qi Heng's eyes were complicated. He suddenly felt that he was useless. His love for Minglan had brought her so much trouble and such a great danger. But should he give up? Of course not!

"There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If Jiacheng County Lord fails in his plan, he will soon make other moves. If she makes a move, Minglan may not have a chance to survive next time." Mingxi thought of Rong Feiyan's ending.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mingxi said, "Prince Yong is becoming more and more powerful, and the succession of Your Majesty has not been finalized. Prince Yong thinks that the throne is as easy as taking something out of a bag, so he is acting more and more rampant, and even the Lord of Jiacheng County is becoming more and more reckless. Now it seems that even Princess Yongning has to give in to him. Therefore, if you want to destroy him, you have to make him more rampant. He was careless and lost Jingzhou, and he would make mistakes more easily if he was rampant. Therefore, I want to lure the snake out of its hole."
