“Princess Rongchang is the chief envoy of the Northern Yin marriage delegation. Is this how you Southern Chu treat your guests?” Ying Yu stepped forward, looking at Nangong Ye with icy eyes.
"My younger brother is ill, and I went to see him, yet you all talk about hospitality. You are the ones who are laughable and rude," Nangong Xu sneered.
"It is only right that Your Highness comes to visit our Prince. This servant will now open the artificial hill and let you in." The servant said, preparing to turn the mechanism.
Green Immortal and Eagle Feather exchanged a glance. They had fallen into a trap. This servant was probably one of Nangong Ye's men. They were likely working together to plot against Nangong Xu. Their master was in danger.
"Crack." Eagle Feather struck, snapping the servant's wrist to prevent him from opening the artificial hill.
"How dare you! You actually dare to harm our people of Southern Chu!" Nangong Ye cried out in terror. He hadn't expected Ying Yu to dare to make a direct move.
“Your Highness Ye, our Princess Rongchang possesses exceptional medical skills, which she keeps secret. She is currently treating His Highness Xu and cannot allow outsiders to witness this. Please forgive her.” Ying Yu straightened her back and clasped her hands in a fist salute to Nangong Ye.
“I don’t care how she treats illnesses,” Nangong Ye said.
"Whether we look or not, no one can guarantee anything, right?" Eagle Feather said.
"Insolence! Guards, force your way in!" Nangong Ye waved his hand behind him, and immediately a large number of highly skilled martial artists stepped forward.
"Your Highness Ye, this is the Prince Xu's residence." The steward rushed over and shouted sternly.
"Steward, I now suspect that my younger brother has been kidnapped by Yun Qingran. Instead of helping me, you're helping the kidnapper's accomplices?" Nangong Ye said leisurely, waving his folding fan.
“Princess Rongchang and our Highness are good friends. She would never harm our Highness,” the steward said firmly.
"Since none of you are going to rescue my brother, then I will have to do it myself. Everyone, open up the artificial hill and rescue my brother!" Nangong Ye loudly ordered the experts behind him.
"Yes, Your Highness Ye." The experts behind him stepped forward and engaged in a fierce battle with Ying Yu and Green Immortal.
The steward of the Prince Xu's residence immediately summoned the guards. Although they didn't know why His Highness was inside with Princess Rongchang of Beiyin, they were certain that Nangong Ye's intentions were not good.
"Green Immortal, hurry in and see how the master is doing?" Ying Yu said to Green Immortal while fighting off the experts under Nangong Ye's command.
He is very worried about Yun Qingran. Nangong Ye is no good person, and he is no good either. Who knows what kind of trap he has set for his master?
“Alright.” Green Immortal nodded, then went to the rockery, found the stone that the servant had been twisting, and twisted it with force.
"Click, click, click..." Yun Qingran, who was inside, heard the sound coming from the artificial hill and quickly ran inside. She opened the door and crawled in.
Seeing Yun Qingran quickly slip in, Nangong Xu was so frightened he almost lost his erection. He quickly pulled the blanket over himself and then asked in shame and indignation, "What are you doing in here?"
"Someone came in, so I came in to hide," Yun Qingran said.
Nangong Xu wanted to die, so he could only pull up the curtain and quickly put on his pants. He had just come twice, and although he was still a little sensitive, he could control himself.
"Master, Master!" Green Immortal called from outside.
"I'm here." Upon hearing the voice of the Green Immortal, Yun Qingran patted her chest. She had thought it was Nangong Ye, but it turned out to be the Green Immortal.
Hearing her joyful voice, Green Immortal felt relieved. It seemed that his master was alright and nothing was wrong.
"Nangong Xu, are you alright? If you are, let's go out," Yun Qingran asked Nangong Xu.
If we don't go out now, it will be hard to explain later, and people may misunderstand.
"Hmm." Nangong Xu hummed in response from behind the tent, then lifted the tent flap and came out. He had changed his clothes, which were clean and neat without a single wrinkle, and his hair was also tidy and not messy.
"That speed is amazing." Yun Qingran gave him a thumbs up.
The intention was to praise him for changing clothes and combing his hair quickly, but Nangong Xu clearly thought of something else. He glared at Yun Qingran and then went out.
Yun Qingran was completely confused. Why was he staring at himself like that? Then he slung his medicine box over his shoulder and followed.
The fighting outside was raging, and the ministers following Nangong Ye were terrified.
"Your Highness Ye, won't this anger His Highness Xu?"
"What's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful Nangong Xu is, he's doomed tonight." Nangong Ye chuckled coldly.
Getting involved with the Northern Yin marriage delegation? He'd be cursed to death by those old fogies, and he wouldn't escape the scorn because of Yun Xiyue. More importantly, Yun Qingran is Jun Molin's woman. If he sleeps with Jun Molin's woman, the two will definitely fight to the death, and he can reap the benefits then.
Hahaha... This world of Southern Chu will definitely be mine! In his heart, Nangong Xu was already laughing wildly.
"Stop." Just then, Nan Xu stepped out, his voice, imbued with inner strength, carrying a terrifying force that swept across the area.
Everyone immediately stopped and looked at him.
"Nangong Xu, you're actually alright?" Nangong Ye exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Nangong Xu, who appeared perfectly normal.
Wasn't he drugged with an aphrodisiac? I've tried that drug myself; it takes at least a night to wear off. How did he recover so quickly?
Nangong Ye overlooked an important issue. He himself was a novice, but Nangong Xu was not; he possessed profound internal strength and first-rate self-control.
"Does Your Majesty wish for something to happen to your younger brother?" Nangong Xu's gaze turned cold, radiating a chilling aura.
Nangong Ye shivered at his gaze, then said, "How could I, your brother, want anything to happen to you? I just heard from the people in your household that you were sick, so I thought you were sick."
"I caught a cold, and I've already asked Princess Rongchang to treat me. She gave me a few acupuncture treatments, and I'm all better now." Nangong Xu glanced at Yun Qingran, who was carrying a medicine box and looking like a well-behaved doctor.
“Brother, I remember you have a physician in your residence, or at least imperial physicians in the palace. I never expected you to invite Princess Rongchang of Beiyin to treat you, and for two people to treat you in the secret room by the rockery.” Nangong Ye said with a meaningful tone.
"Your Majesty, I know my health is poor. I've heard that Princess Rongchang is a skilled physician, so in addition to treating my typhoid fever, I'd like to ask her to prescribe some medicine to help me recover. Is that not possible?" Nangong Xu lazily straightened his sleeves.
Nangong Ye was speechless, inwardly cursing this scoundrel for his silver tongue. Tonight's plans were ruined.
"Your Majesty, it's the middle of the night, why have you brought all these people to my residence? What brings you here?" Nangong Xu's gaze swept over the people present.
Nangong Ye's men quickly lowered their heads, especially the ministers, who were filled with regret, thinking they shouldn't have been fooled into coming to the Prince Xu's residence.
"I've come to challenge you to a game of chess," Nangong Ye said, trying to come up with a reason.
"Bringing so many experts along to spar? Heh..." Nangong Xu sneered.
Hearing this laughter, Nangong Ye got goosebumps.
