When Situ Xi was sent back to the house by the carriage and horse sent by the palace, Zhongli Min was standing alone in front of the courtyard gate waiting.

The moment she saw Situ Xi, she rushed into his arms and gave him a hug regardless of others. Then she used her red eyes to examine Situ Xi's body, asking him if he was injured.

.

"Ma'am, I'm worried. I'm not injured, just a little tired."

Before he came back, he sent Zhong Limo back and reported the situation to Zhong Limei. Qixian also returned to his temporary house at this time. He said he had something to talk to Mu Juzheng.

"Master Fuyu, your majesty's reward will not be issued until tomorrow. Our mission has been completed. If you have no other instructions, we will return to the palace."

The person driving Situ Xi back on horseback was a father-in-law. He was not tall and his name was Huai Ke. He had the same surname as the old eunuch beside the Emperor of Chu whom he had just seen in the palace.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Huai. It's so troublesome." Situ Xi gave Zhongli Min a look, and the latter immediately understood, took out a banknote and handed it to Situ Xi, who then quietly stuffed it into Eunuch Huai's hand.

Glancing at the denomination of the bank note, the father-in-law was startled, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"No trouble, no trouble! Master, you are too polite. Our family is just responsible." Eunuch Huai suddenly began to speak more. "Young Master encountered a dangerous situation today. I think everyone in the family will be as worried as Madam. Master

It’s better to go into the house early to report that it’s safe.”

"In this case, I won't send my father-in-law off."

"Hey! Master, please stop." Huai Ke raised his hand to stop Situ Xi's polite words. He turned around and mounted his horse. Suddenly something occurred to him and he whispered to Situ Xi: "It's not too late today. If you need anything, Master

If you go out to do it in person, it’s best to deal with it today. It may be inconvenient in the next few days..."

After saying this, he said goodbye and returned to the palace, but Situ Xi didn't know what he meant.

"Ms. sir, you must bring more escorts with you when you go out in the future..." Zhongli only said half of his words, but Situ Xi could feel his hand being squeezed tightly by her.

"I understand." Situ Xi also squeezed her delicate hand.

In the final analysis, it is best to reduce contact with royal families like Zuo Mingli. After today's incident, Situ Xi truly felt the complexity of the Chu royal family.

…

The people in Xuan'an City were a little panicked. Many people blocked the north gate, and there were many more officers and soldiers guarding the city than before.

The city was suddenly sealed, causing people to speculate that something big had happened in the city.

"What happened? I have something urgent to leave the city, so I can't delay!"

"Hey, don't even think about it today, old man. Seeing this situation, I probably won't let him out in the next few days."

"Sir, do you know why the city is closed now?"

"Did you hear that thieves ransacked the streets in Yuxin Street this morning? It is said that several shops were set on fire? It is said that... even His Royal Highness the Prince went there later..."

Such talk spread all over the city, and while the people were talking and laughing, they couldn't help but feel worried about their own safety, and people were suddenly panicked.

Several women holding pianos followed an ox cart carrying goods through the streets of the city. Fortunately, they returned to the city before the city gate was sealed.

After walking for a while, the ox cart stopped at the gate of Jinsefang.

"Sister Hua, the young master has returned to the house. He seems to be fine." A woman with a delicate face stood beside Hua Yaoying. This was a new face that Situ Xi had never seen before. It seemed that Chaoyun and the others were wanted by him.

After leaving, Hua Yaoying called a new assistant.

"That's good, that's good." Hua Yaoying breathed a sigh of relief. She also received news from her subordinates. What happened on Yuxin Street was too high-profile, and it happened suddenly, and they had no relevant information at all.

.

Knowing that Situ Xi had also gone there, Chaoyun and the others rushed to notify Hua Yaoying as soon as they learned about the changes that had occurred in Dongshi.

"Are Pudie and Chaoyue back? Ask them to protect the safety of the Nine Kings."

"Sister Hua, I will notify them when they come back."

Hua Yaoying nodded. Pudie and Chaoyue were considered somewhat skilled women in Jinse Pavilion.

"Forget it, show me the list." Hua Yaoying stopped thinking about it. She changed her mind and asked the pretty woman for a piece of paper.

"Fifteen taels of sulfur, five taels of aconite, and fourteen taels of smoke and salt..." Hua Yaoying read while tucking her hair behind her ears, wondering why Situ Xi bought these things.

There are so many poisons, "Have you confirmed that they are all medicinal materials purchased according to this ratio?"

"Yes, they were purchased from different shops in other cities. Finally, some drug dealers were hired to pretend to be delivering goods to the city."

"I understand. You did a good job. Please accept these banknotes and jewelry and share them with them. It's all hard work." Hua Yaoying lit the smoker on the table with a fire folding stick, picked up the list, and

Thrown into the furnace.

"yes!"

The delicate woman turned around and left. Hua Yaoying rubbed her head, then walked to the desk in the room, picked up a piece of letter paper, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote it.

…

In the courtyard of his home, Situ Xi was surrounded by several women.

"Uncle, next time you go out, be sure to take your slave with you. Today has made us worried. After receiving the news, the young lady immediately went back to the house to see the master, and asked the slave to inform Uncle Mu. Although

In the end, it didn’t help at all…”

Situ Xi felt Qingyu's kindness, but if there was such a dangerous thing to do next time, he would never take this girl with him. Maybe after taking her, the situation would be even more chaotic.

"I told them it's okay. Those people are not here for me." Situ Xi signaled them not to worry too much.

"Madam, we will talk about the details later."

But seeing the worry in Zhong Li's eyes, Situ Xi knew that he had cost her a lot of energy today.

Mu Ju is a guest, not a guard. If Situ Xi needs him to do something, he will do it without hesitation, but he will not follow him all day long. This is what the two of them agreed before. Situ Xi today

Just going shopping on the street may not have occurred to everyone that their lives may be in danger.

Zhong Limei also went to see Zhong Limei. He had heard Zhong Limei say before that she didn't really want to talk to Zhong Limei. It seemed that she was really scared today.

"Miss Su, I heard my lady tell you about your affairs yesterday. During this period, you will stay here and don't worry about anything else. You can finish the ink embroidery for us first. I am in a hurry to get it." Situ

Xi looked at the two Su sisters and changed the subject.

"Ah, Young Master, we are already hurrying up." When Su Heluo heard that Situ Xi had urged them to embroider, they immediately put all the troubles in their minds behind.
