Sure enough, it was good that Wen Nongnong was dead; no one dared to stop her from entering the Prince's mansion anymore.
And soon, she will become the mistress of this royal palace.
She thought to herself with certainty and confidence.
What good is it if Wen Nongnong gains Gu Linchao's favor again? She's nothing but a dead woman now, and soon she'll be nothing but a handful of dust.
Soon, Gu Linchao will no longer remember her, and she will eventually take her place and get everything that should have been hers.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingning felt even more delighted.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when danger approached.
With a "thud," something hard struck the back of her knee, and she fell forward uncontrollably to the ground.
Before she could react, she was suddenly struck several times on the back, and instantly became unable to move.
Realizing what was happening, a look of horror flashed in her eyes.
"That woman was laughing so stupidly just now, could she be fantasizing about the master?" Wang Houde said with some disgust, then shook off the fingers that had touched her.
Si Yi walked over, carrying a sword.
That pebble was thrown by him.
"Stop talking and take him away immediately," Butler Wang said hurriedly as he approached.
Butler Wang patted him on the shoulder, "I never would have guessed that Old Wang was such a good actor, he completely charmed that young lady."
Butler Wang slapped his hand away, "What nonsense are you talking about? Every word I said was true. Every word came from the bottom of my heart."
Wang Houde: "..."
Today he finally witnessed the shamelessness of Steward Wang.
Just then, a figure suddenly darted over and grabbed at Shen Qingning on the ground.
Before the two could react, Si Yi stepped forward and exchanged a palm strike with the man.
"Bang!"
The loud noise startled both Wang Houde and his steward.
Si Yi's body swayed, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Take him away immediately!" Si Yi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, gave the order in a deep voice, then drew her sword and swiftly slashed at the person who had come.
Wang Houde reacted quickly, lifting Shen Qingning from the ground and taking her away.
"Guards, seize the assassin!" Butler Wang shouted.
Soon, the armored guards surged out and surrounded the visitors.
"Old Taoist Lingyin, I advise you to surrender, or I may spare your life." Si Yi raised his sword and pointed it at the person opposite him, his voice cold.
The visitor was none other than the Taoist Master Lingyin.
When he woke up from his nap, he found that Shen Qingning was gone. He guessed that she had probably come to the Prince of Xiang's residence, so he immediately rushed over.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qingning actually came here and was captured.
He was furious and shocked, but there was nothing he could do now, so he forced his way in, hoping to rescue the person.
I just didn't expect the boy on the other side to react so quickly.
Although his internal strength was inferior to his, he still managed to withstand one of his palm strikes and prevented him from taking Shen Qingning away.
Shen Qingning had already been taken away, and it wouldn't be easy for him to rescue her.
Thinking it over, he didn't intend to stay, coldly tossing out a sentence, "That depends on whether you have the ability." Then he took the opportunity to fly away.
Upon seeing this, Si Yi sheathed his sword.
Butler Wang came up and asked, "That old Taoist priest just left like that. Does he not care whether Shen Qingning lives or dies?"
“No, he will definitely come back.” Si Yi said with certainty, “He ran away now because he wants to go back and find a way to rescue the person, but if he can’t get rid of them, he will come back to us on his own. At that time, he will have no choice.”
Butler Wang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
That's good, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.
After dismissing the armored guards, Si Yi went to his study to report the matter to Gu Linchao.
After hearing this, Gu Linchao instructed, "Make sure to keep a close watch on the person."
"Yes," Si Yi replied respectfully.
At this moment, Wen Tingyun asked, "Is Si Yi injured?"
Si Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "It's just a minor internal injury, nothing serious."
Gu Linchao frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Si Yi said, "That old Taoist Lingyin's internal strength is above mine. I exchanged a blow with him and was not seriously injured. Master, you don't need to worry."
After hearing this, Gu Linchao said gently, "Shen Qingning can be looked after by Wang Houde. You can go and rest."
"Yes," Si Yi replied and withdrew.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Lü Qiao standing there looking anxious.
"Why did you come here?" he asked, somewhat surprised.
When Lü Qiao saw him come out, she quickly came over, pulled him away, and left.
"I heard from Steward Wang that you're injured. Quickly, let Physician Lin take a look at you," said Lü Qiao as she walked, her tone urgent.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi felt a surge of joy, but said aloud, "Lv Qiao, I'm fine."
"You said you were fine, so what's with all this blood?" Green Fairy turned around and glanced at him, then reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, asking.
"I... I only suffered a minor internal injury. I'll be fine after a short rest," Si Yi said.
Green Fairy didn't believe him, thinking that he must have been seriously injured since he was bleeding from the beating.
"Hurry and come with me to Physician Lin's place, let him take a look at you." With that, she took his hand again and led him away.
Si Yi didn't want to go, but seeing how much she cared about him, he felt a little pleased.
When they arrived at Physician Lin's place, Lü Qiao quickly told him about Si Yi's injury and asked him to take a look.
Physician Lin was busy preparing medicinal herbs when he heard this, so he had no choice but to put down his work and take Si Yi's pulse.
A moment later, Physician Lin lowered his hand and was about to say that Si Yi was not seriously injured, but seeing that the boy was staring at him intently, he paused, then looked at the anxious-looking Lü Qiao, and instantly understood.
