"I never imagined that the dignified Regent would be such an ungrateful scoundrel."
Ye Jintang felt increasingly aggrieved. If it weren't for the original owner's curse...
She couldn't care less whether Jiang Mubai lived or died.
Jiang Mubai froze, trying to mobilize his internal energy to break free from the restraints of the silver needles.
But the next second, a sharp pain in his leg made him furrow his brows, and when he looked up, he met Ye Jintang's all-knowing eyes.
She looked at him, then pressed her lips to his ear, a tingling sensation spreading throughout her body.
"Your Highness, it must be unpleasant to pretend to be crippled every day."
She used a volume that only the two of them could hear.
Jiang Mubai's pupils suddenly contracted, shocked, and wary, along with intense killing intent, transformed into a chilling warning.
Do you know what you're saying?
Jiang Mubai's face remained expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.
Ye Jintang, however, did not care at all.
Except for the essential parts, Ye Jintang had basically torn off the clothes on his lower body.
The crucial point is that this woman was staring intently at her own legs.
Shameless!
As Jiang Mubai spoke, the back of his ears turned bright red, whether from anger or embarrassment was hard to tell.
Ye Jintang moved a chair to sit opposite Jiang Mubai. "Isn't Your Highness clear about what I'm saying?"
"Or do I need to find someone to verify this?"
Seeing Jiang Mubai looking at her with hostility, Ye Jintang curled her lips and unconsciously looked towards Leng Yi at the very edge.
"Your Highness, your loyal subordinate is still here."
Jiang Mubai's face darkened, and his stiff, cold expression was almost tearful.
He was certain that Ye Jintang was the first person in the entire capital to dare speak to his master like that.
"Release the acupoints."
Jiang Mubai glared at Ye Jintang with such hatred that he wished he could devour her alive.
“Okay.” Ye Jintang smiled, dragged Leng Yi out of the woodshed, snapped his fingers, and the stiff man immediately regained his mobility.
Leng instinctively wanted to rush in, but saw Ye Jintang open the door and lean half her body out.
"What follows is my private time with the Prince. If you do this, then it's not a simple matter. What happened at the Dali Temple was already shameful enough. If the same thing happens again, it's unimaginable what kind of situation will occur."
"How is it? Is there anything wrong with my body?"
Jiang Mubai asked the doctor.
The doctor bowed slightly and replied, "Your Excellency, based on my examination of your pulse just now, there is nothing abnormal about your condition."
"What?"
Jiang Mubai frowned, clearly doubting the result.
"Have you really examined me thoroughly? If I have nothing wrong with myself, why am I suddenly unable to move?"
"Or perhaps someone poisoned me, but you just didn't detect it."
When questioned by Jiang Mubai, the doctor showed a look of horror.
"My lord, you are indeed alright."
"Guards, take this doctor away and have someone else examine my pulse!"
Jiang Mubai looked annoyed.
The doctor and the guards who came in were puzzled. Logically, it would be best if nothing was amiss, but why did it become strange in Lord Jiang's case?
However, these people dared not ask too many questions about such matters, for fear of bringing unnecessary trouble upon themselves.
After asking the doctor to leave, Jiang Mubai summoned the remaining guards.
"My lord, do you have any orders?"
The guard approached Jiang Mubai and asked him a question.
"How's it going with the Dali Temple?"
Jiang Mubai wore a cold expression, but deep down he was worried about Su Xuerou's safety.
The guard hesitated, then, hearing Jiang Mubai mention the Dali Temple, tentatively asked, "My lord, are you asking about Miss Su?"
"Otherwise, who do you think I'm asking?"
“Miss Su is currently still imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, but there are some clues about the matter you asked me to investigate that day.”
"Speak quickly!"
"I discovered that after Miss Su returned to the capital with you, Lord Marquis, she also visited the Minister's residence."
"The Minister's residence?"
Jiang Mubai's expression froze, and he suddenly remembered that he had also heard of the Minister's Mansion when he was at Dali Temple.
Logically speaking, Xue Rou is an orphan, so how could she have any connection with the Minister's mansion? It was precisely because of this doubt that he sent people to investigate this matter.
"Keep a close eye on the situation over there, and report to me immediately if anything unusual happens."
Jiang Mubai became increasingly agitated as he thought about it. Ever since he returned to Beijing and met Ye Jintang, strange things had been happening around him.
Even Ye Jintang dared to disobey his orders.
What's most infuriating is that he can't do anything about Ye Jintang at this time.
During the time that Jiang Mubai was trying to get Su Xuerou out of the Dali Temple prison, the situation at Huishengtang also made great progress.
Especially after the incident involving the strong man was clarified, these people gained some trust in Huishengtang.
In addition, their symptoms were alleviated, and their reputation improved immediately.
Woof woof.
[How boring. I wonder where that woman went. Everyone outside is busy with their own things and doesn't have time to pay attention to her.]
[What's most infuriating is that they just keep it locked in the backyard and won't let it go out, saying it would scare people. It really makes the dog angry.]
When Ye Jintang returned from the back gate of the courtyard, she heard Da Bai barking incessantly.
If one couldn't understand what Big White was saying, its current state would indeed make one wonder if there's something wrong with the dog.
[Who?] Da Bai became alert upon hearing the noise, but perked up when he saw Ye Jintang returning.
[You wretched woman, you're finally back! Why did you have me tied up with a rope?]
Big White barked a few times, its barks revealing its dissatisfaction with Ye Jintang's actions.
"Most of the patients who come to Huishengtang are women and children. You'll frighten them if you do that."
She didn't want to keep Big White on a leash at first, but who knew this silly dog would start destroying the house?
Simply tying it up instead of kicking it out was already considered lenient.
"You better behave yourself, or you won't be staying here anymore."
Ye Jintang said.
When Da Bai heard that Ye Jintang was going to kick it out, it immediately cowered.
It barked softly.
[I was just saying, what a scary woman. When will I be able to get rid of this rope?]
Seeing that Ye Jintang was about to go into the house, Da Bai barked unwillingly.
"When will you finally behave yourself?"
Ye Jintang closed the door again. This time she went out and found a lot of medicinal herbs. Besides the herbs needed to refine the pills, she put them into the spirit field to cultivate again.
As she was dividing the herbs into two parts, she heard the voice of a white-clad figure outside the courtyard.
[You stinking woman, come out right now! That horrible man is here again.]
Big White's voice suddenly became urgent, and there was a hint of fear in his cries.
"A terrifying man?"
Ye Jintang hesitated. Could it be referring to Ye Ling?
However, Zhou Zheng and Lü He knew Ye Ling's identity. If he came, Lü He would definitely come to report immediately instead of letting Da Bai do as he pleased.
