Chapter 145 I am reminding you to avoid getting burned!

The guard nervously handed over the dagger he was carrying: "Princess, the prince's attitude is obviously that he will not hand you over. In that case, why are you..."

"Didn't you just say that if the incident gets to the palace and Prince Yu investigates Li Qiu'er, then your prince will have to hand me over?" Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes at him. "If that's the case, you might as well give me a bowl of blood."

The guard's mouth twitched, and he dared not say anything.

Xu Yanyi weighed the dagger and said, "Wait here, I'll get a bowl."

Without waiting for the guard to answer, Xu Yanyi had already left with the dagger in his pocket.

Xu Yanyi went to the kitchen and looked around.

Mrs. Zhang from the kitchen ran over quickly and said, "Princess, why are you here? Do you want something to eat? I'll prepare it right away."

This princess died once, and she's very fierce now, so you'd better not quarrel with her casually.

Xu Yanyi casually threw the dagger to her and pointed at the chickens circled in that area: "Give me a bowl of chicken blood."

"Princess, what do you want chicken blood for?"

Mrs. Zhang's face was filled with confusion.

Xu Yanyi said impatiently: "Why do you care so much? Just go if I tell you to."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Mrs. Zhang quickly took the dagger and went in.

In less than a moment, Mrs. Zhang brought out a bowl of chicken blood: "Princess, the chicken blood is here, look..."

"Give it to me."

Xu Yanyi took the bowl away directly.

The guard was still standing there trembling with fear.

When he saw Xu Yanyi coming back with a bowl of blood in her hand and a piece of gauze wrapped around her arm, he was stunned for a moment: "Princess, did you really hurt yourself to get a bowl of blood?"

"What else?"

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and take it quickly."

The guard swallowed and nodded.

Xu Yanyi looked towards the judge's stand again. Master Yue was sitting there with his legs crossed. She could only see his back.

*On the other side, Prince Yu’s Palace.

Princess Yu looked at the bowl of blood and felt a little excited and a little nervous: "Is this really the blood of Princess Nanling?"

"Yes!" Ding Xiang, the trusted maidservant, whispered, "I followed your instructions and waited for you to pretend to faint, then said that you must have been infected by the evil spirit from Princess Nanling. I also told the prince that I knew the solution, which was to use Princess Nanling's blood as medicine. The prince immediately sent someone to the Nanling Palace, and they really brought back Xu Yanyi's blood!"

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Prince Yu's voice came in: "Wenqing, Wenqing, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Wenqing immediately gave Ding Xiang a look and ordered: "Hurry up and give it to the poison master on West Street. Don't let anyone find out!"

"yes!"

Dingxiang put the bowl into the lunch box and climbed out through the back window.

Sun Wenqing then leaned against the bed and said to the outside: "Prince, I'm fine..."

Hearing this, Prince Yu hurriedly pushed the door open and saw her standing up. He immediately reached out to support her: "Are you really okay?"

Sun Wenqing nodded slightly: "It's okay. Dingxiang told me that I had a minor miscarriage and my blood was weak. That's why I was infected with evil spirits. Now I'm fine after using Dingxiang's method."

Prince Yu heaved a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that the girl next to you knows all these tricks."

“That’s the first time I know this, too.”

Sun Wenqing leaned in Prince Yu's arms, thinking of the purse Xu Yanyi was holding, and still felt a little uneasy. "I heard that a Taoist priest went to Nanling Palace today to exorcise the evil spirit for Yanyi. If those Taoist priests can't do it, why not let Dingxiang go over there one day? She said her ancestors used to do this."

Prince Yu looked at her and said softly: "You are still as kind as ever. Li Qiu'er caused you to lose your child. Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi didn't help you, but you still want to help them. This prince..."

"Your Highness, that child is not meant for us. Besides, you also said that you don't want an heir at this time. If you haven't accomplished your great cause, having an heir would only be a burden. Since you don't have one, it's destined..."

As he spoke, Sun Wenqing lowered his head, looking heartbroken and distraught, which made Prince Yu feel distressed.

*The next morning, it was just dawn.

Master Yue's ritual has been completed.

Mu Nanzhou was waiting under the altar. Master Yue came down and the two stood facing each other for a long time without speaking.

"I don't know when you learned these things."

Mu Nanzhou obviously didn't believe him, and his voice was full of ridicule, "You have been playing tricks here all night, don't tell me that you didn't see anything."

Master Yue casually handed her the painting from yesterday: "It's her, but it's not entirely her."

Mu Nanzhou was stunned for a moment. He took the painting and looked at it carefully, his eyes fixed on a hairpin on the girl's bun in the painting.

He remembered that Xu Yanyi loved the hairpin very much when she received it, but she accidentally broke it.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Xu Yanyi painted the hairpin herself, saying that this was the only way to make it complete.

After the painting was finished, it was put away. Three years ago, the rebels entered the city, burned, looted, and the palace was in chaos. No one knew whether the painting was stolen or lost, but it was never found.

Logically speaking, apart from Xu Yanyi herself, only Mu Nanzhou knew to add this inconspicuous hairpin.

Mu Nanzhou squeezed the painting tightly: "She is Xu Yanyi."

"Yes and no."

Master Yue narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. He changed the words on his lips, "But no matter what, you promised not to let her life be in danger."

Mu Nanzhou's face turned slightly cold: "You are threatening me!"

"I'm reminding you to avoid getting burned!"

Master Yue didn't say anything more, and walked towards the door. He only took a few steps and stopped, saying without looking back, "The name Mu Nanzhou, the identity of King Nanling, and your face, as long as I am not dead, I can give them to you, and I can take them back!"

Boom.

Mu Nanzhou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He seemed to have recalled some extremely humiliating past. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Master Yue's back with his black eyes until Master Yue disappeared from his sight.

Mu Nanzhou forced himself to suppress the violent anger that was lingering in his body bit by bit.

Mu Nanzhou snapped his fingers and the secret guards quickly ran out from the darkness.

"My Lord!"

"My Lord!"

Mu Nanzhou's eyes flashed with deep anger: "Kill him! Don't leave any trace!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

The secret guards received the order and retreated.

Xu Yanyi was suddenly awakened from her sleep by a gust of cold wind blowing in from the window.

She shook her head and looked outside. It was already daybreak. It was bright everywhere, but she still felt panicky.
