"No need to be so polite. It's useless to recruit so many people. Let everyone do their own things. You will only alert the enemy by doing this."

"But I also discovered that the person was hit by my palm and will not be able to get up today, so I have asked the butler to make a list of names. The other party is very likely to be a female assassin."

"Female assassin?" Qing Xing couldn't believe it. Who had the guts to assassinate the prince and princess? She felt indignant at this.

Gu Yunru's beautiful face turned pale, and she sighed with her eyelids drooping, "Things have already happened. I'll leave the matter of the assassin to you and General Huang, but... I hope you can take good care of Qin Niang's affairs."

"I understand this." Qingfeng lowered his head, knowing that Qin Niang was brutally murdered by the assassin in order to save the princess. He had sent Qin Niang's body back to her hometown and gave her family a large sum of compensation.

"Um."

Gu Yunru and Qingxing were just about to go back to Ginkgo Garden to have a good rest when they saw Xie Bingyan, who was in a hurry and looked flustered, rushing to the prince's courtyard with her maid Mingyue. When they met Gu Yunru on the way, they pulled her arm and asked anxiously, "How is the prince?"

"Don't worry, the prince is fine now."

Gu Yunru looked at the nervous Xie Bingyan. It seemed that she slept very soundly last night and was unaware of such a big commotion in the mansion. She didn't suspect anything at first, but she looked at the maid Mingyue behind her, who always looked flustered.

Her eyes were also wandering, which was very strange. She was always good at seeing through people's micro-expressions, and Mingyue's eyes just now clearly contained guilt.

Xie Bingyan hurried to the prince's room, leaving only Gu Yunru and Qingxing standing on the bluestone bricks. The surrounding scenery was very bleak and cold. Qingxing couldn't help shrinking her neck and said, "Princess, let's go back quickly. It's time to light the stove."

"Qing Xing, do you think the servants around these noble ladies should all learn some Kung Fu?"

"It seems so. Lan'er, who was by the Second Miss's side, knew some Kung Fu, just to be able to protect her own Miss at the critical moment."

When Qing Xing heard her ask this, she thought that Gu Yunru was dissatisfied with her, so she pursed her lips and looked at her with grievance, "I have been physically uncoordinated since I was young, and I am not a martial artist, so I cannot learn some exquisite skills to protect the princess. Please don't blame me, princess."

"That's not what I meant. I want you to find someone to help me test Mingyue beside Xie Bingyan to see if she knows kung fu."

"Ah, Princess, do you doubt her?"

Qingxing widened her almond eyes and looked at Gu Yunru in confusion.

Gu Yunru was afraid that her loud voice would cause unnecessary trouble, so he immediately reached out to cover her mouth and put his index finger to his lips. "Shh, this is a secret. You have to help me get this done before dinner tonight. Don't let it out, understand?" Qingxing nodded rapidly.

Xie Bingyan hurried to Rong Zhen's door, but was stopped by the housekeeper and a group of guards.

"How dare you! I am the concubine of the king, and I came to see the king. How dare you not let me in!"

"You are the ones who are so bold, aren't you?" Mingyue echoed, glaring at the people guarding the door. Two guards clasped their hands and bowed to Xie Bingyan, saying, "Princess, the prince doesn't want to see anyone right now. He just wants to have a good rest."

"I don't believe it, let me go in and take a look!"

Xie Bingyan let out a loud cry as if a silver bottle had suddenly broken, and tried to squeeze through the crowd to get in. However, she saw Rong Zhen was firmly blocked by the crowd at the door. Mingyue quietly pulled her sleeve and said, "Miss, forget it. We'll come back another day."

Seeing that everyone was firmly blocking the door, Xie Bingyan was afraid that the prince really didn't want to see anyone, so she simply lowered her fist and nodded dejectedly.

Returning to the house, Mingyue quickly lowered the curtains beside the window, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

"What are you going to do Mingyue?"

Xie Bingyan looked at Mingyue uneasily, only to see her sitting cross-legged in a corner, breathing in and out, which was a way to treat her internal injuries.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xie Bingyan stood up and looked at Mingyue in the corner. Then she opened the door and it turned out to be Qingxing.

"Hello, Concubine. This is the olive green fruit tea that our princess has just acquired. I wanted to send it to you for your tasting."

"Just leave it there."

Xie Bingyan didn't even glance at her for a few more times, but was eager to send Qingxing away. Mingyue was also standing aside with a nonchalant look on her face, looking at Qingxing in front of her. She took the olive green fruit tea, but before she could take the tea firmly, it was accidentally knocked to the ground by Qingxing.

Qingxing deliberately tried to splash the tea onto her body, but Mingyue dodged very quickly and didn't get any tea stains on her body. There were only broken porcelain pieces on the ground, which made people feel a little angry. Qingxing hurriedly apologized to Mingyue.

"I'm sorry, Sister Mingyue. I didn't stand firmly just now. This is terrible. If the princess knew that I knocked over the green fruit tea she brewed, she would definitely blame me."

"It's okay, Sister Qingxing. We'll tell the princess that we have received your kindness. You can go down first. I will clean up here."

Qing Xing showed a sad expression, sighed softly, and said: "Well, it's also thanks to the concubine's understanding, otherwise Qing Xing really doesn't know what to do."

After that, Xie Bingyan walked towards the door holding the tray in her arms. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mingyue beside her and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Miss is fine, but what does it mean that the princess sent green fruit tea for no reason?"

Xie Bingyan pondered for a moment, her eyes sparkling, "Who cares what he means? Anyway, you can't drink the tea anymore, just continue healing."

"yes."

Qingxing, who was hiding at the door, did not go far. After hearing their conversation, she hurried to Ginkgo Garden and told them everything she had seen and heard.

"Did you hear that Mingyue wanted to heal her injuries?"

Gu Yunru's brows were solemn and there was a hint of severity in her tone.

"I heard it clearly. That's what the master and servant said. It seems that this concubine is really scheming. Princess, we must be careful."

"This Xie Bingyan is indeed not a simple person. We should not let this matter out, lest they become desperate. Besides, the Grand Chancellor has always hoped that his daughter could control the prince, which means that this matter was also expected by them."

"Then Madam, the prince is blind again. What should we do if Miss Xie harms the prince again?"

Qingxing lowered her eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Yunru with a slightly sad expression.
