Ruge looked at Yuchi Gongru with a smile on her face. How could he not know what the other party was saying? The purpose was fake: to catch the thief, but to take away the disguised Ji Lingxue and Xiao Yichen.
Although his mansion was not impregnable, how could the guards fail to notice a small thief entering the mansion? How could Yuchi Gongru, such a smart man, come up with such a poor excuse? He must be still upset about letting him run naked last night
Ruge smiled and said, "Oh? There are actually daring thieves who entered this prince's residence? This matter must be investigated, someone come..."
Ruge's guards responded and stood in a row.
Ruge patted Yuchi Gongru's shoulder and said, "Don't panic, my royal brother. Why don't you describe the thief's appearance to me? I will help you find him, and we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
The more Ruge refused to let Yuchi Gongru in, the more Yuchi Gongru was sure that Xiao Yichen was still in his mansion. How dare he poison him and force him to kneel down and beg, and finally he had to run naked on the street at the other party's request. Xiao Yichen was the first person like that, and he could not swallow this humiliation.
Xiao Yichen, since you like to pretend to be a guard and stay around Yuchi Ruge, don't blame me for being cruel and treating you as a spy.
Yuchi Gongru waved his hand and said, "It's a dark and windy night and the thief likes to disguise himself. Even if I tell him his appearance, if he disguises himself as someone else, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him. Okay, my brother, don't waste any more time. Come on, search me thoroughly!"
The guards behind Yuchi Gongru responded in unison, pushed aside Ruge's guards, rushed into the mansion and began to search. Suddenly, the mansion was brightly lit, and the sounds were either the screams of maids or the muffled sounds of flower pots falling to the ground.
Ruge shook her head and turned to look at Yuchi Gongru who seemed to be in a good mood, "Royal brother, are you looking for a thief or deliberately destroying this prince's mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Gongru coughed and pointed at the guards who were searching the bonsai not far away and said, "Be gentle, don't damage anything in my brother's house. I asked you to catch the thief, not to mess up the place!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I know I was wrong and I hope Second Prince will calm down. I will buy identical new ones tomorrow to replace the potted plants that were broken." The guard bowed and apologized.
Ruge waved her hands and asked Yuchi Gongru's guard to pay compensation. Yuchi Gongru would definitely think that he was petty and did not have the demeanor of a prince.
Soon Yuchi Gongru's men came back to him and shook their heads, not finding anyone suspicious.
Yuchi Gongru turned his head to look at the two guards standing behind Ruge. He slapped Asang. Asang had looked very thin on the street that day, he would know if he could replace him.
Asan bent his body to avoid Yuchi Gongru's palm wind, "I wonder if I have offended the Third Prince in any way."
Asan spoke with full energy.
Yuchi Gongru looked at Asan in confusion, frowned, and changed it back. Then where did Xiao Yichen and the others go
Ruge blocked Yuchi Gongru's inquiring gaze and said, "Royal brother, I don't know when my people offended you. I made you so angry. It's because I didn't discipline you properly."
Yuchi Gongru smiled and said, "Please forgive me, my emperor. I was just joking with Asan just now. Look how scared I am." He waved his hand, turned around, withdrew his troops and left.
It was not until Yuchi Gongru's figure disappeared into the darkness that Ah Sang, who was kneeling on the ground, actually said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ruge helped Asan up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Asan shook his head and said, "Master, your guess is correct. The Third Prince is indeed unwilling to come back and attack. Fortunately, you were prepared."
Ruge smiled, turned and walked into the mansion, and slowly closed the door, keeping the wind and rain out.
Ruge walked straight to the clean room, where there was a milky white bathing pool. This was where he usually practiced his skills. After asking his attendants to leave, Ruge stood in front of the pool and said, "Come out, the person has already left!"
There was a sound of splashing water and white water splashed. Ji Lingxue jumped out of the water and shook her head in the water like a mermaid. Her long black hair fell on her back and formed a graceful arc in the air. A few drops of water splashed onto Ruge's fingers, and the warmth spread from her fingertips to her heart.
Ruge stared blankly at the picture of the beauty emerging from the bath in front of her, her ears gradually getting hot. When he left just now, it was Xiao Yichen lurking in the bathtub, how come he was replaced by someone else in an instant
Ji Lingxue was soaked all over. In order not to be embarrassed, she continued to soak half of her body in the water. She looked up at Ruge who was a little embarrassed and asked with a smile: "Yuchi Gongru left unwillingly. Did he say anything?"
Ruge's eyes wandered around as she replied, "He wasn't too disappointed. I guess the whole city must have been searching for you."
Ji Lingxue chuckled. Cat and mouse, this game is quite interesting. It is much more interesting than competing with the concubines on both sides in Prince Chen's Mansion.
Ruge asked: "Where is the prince? Why are you here alone?"
Ji Lingxue wiped the water off her face and swam towards Ruge. "He said he wanted to teach that pervert Yuchi Gongru a lesson. I don't know martial arts, so I won't hold him back."
Ruge picked up the bath towel beside her and placed it by the pool. "I'll go out and call two maids over." After saying that, she turned around and walked out. Her steps were hurried, as if she was fleeing.
Ji Lingxue smiled. She didn't expect Ruge to have such a pure and lovely side. If she met a good girl in the future, she would match her up with him.
Xiao Yichen sat on the roof in black, watching Yuchi Gongru return to his mansion in vain.
Yuchi Gongru punched the old tree not far in front of him and cursed: "Xiao Yichen, this prince underestimated you. I didn't expect you to run faster than a mouse!" He was very angry that he failed to catch Xiao Yichen this time.
The guards behind him didn't even dare to go out and tried their best to reduce their presence.
After a punch, the old tree shook and a few dead leaves fell. Yuchi Gongru retracted his fist. His joints were red and stained with sawdust. The old tree had a dent and its originally straight body gradually bent.
Yuchi Gongru turned around and said to the guards behind him: "Bring two women here." His poison has not been cured yet, and he can only control it by sucking the blood of virgins. Now that he is back in Dayan, he dare not be too ostentatious if the old emperor knows that he has this hobby, for fear that he will not be considered for the throne.
The number of maids in the mansion was decreasing day by day, so he asked the housekeeper to find more of them. Not many people cared about the lives of these lowly servants.
Sitting on the roof, Xiao Yichen looked coldly at the tragic blood-sucking scene in the house. Yuchi Gongru felt like a vampire!
Xiao Yichen twitched his lips, picked up a piece of paper and pen from his arms, and drew with interest under the bright moon above his head.
The miserable voice of the woman begging for mercy in the room gradually became hoarse and faded away. Yuchi Gongru stood up with satisfaction and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling full of strength.
There was a clicking sound from the roof. Yuchi Gongru narrowed his eyes coldly and looked up. Through the open tiles, he saw a hand holding a pen and paper.
Yuchi Gongru climbed onto the roof after breaking through the tiles. Xiao Yichen had already put away the paper and was twirling the brush in his hand as he smiled, "Third Prince, your sexual taste is really special. This prince has seen it."
"Xiao... Yichen!" Yuchi Gongru gnashed out these three words. His most unbearable secret was discovered by his mortal enemy. Anyone would be so angry that they would vomit blood. He was like a cat with its tail stepped on, getting angry at anyone who provoked him.
Xiao Yichen put one hand on his waist, twirled the brush in the other and nodded, "Well, it's been a long time since anyone dared to address me by my name... I almost forgot my original name, thank you for reminding me."
Yuchi Gongru clenched his fists, and his joints made a cracking sound. "I have been searching for you everywhere, but I still can't find you. It turns out that you are a thief in my mansion. Is this a good show?"
Xiao Yichen nodded, "It looks good. Third Prince, is human blood delicious?"
Yuchi Gongru raised his hand with five fingers forming a claw and tried to grab Xiao Yichen's neck. Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes and swept the back of Yuchi Gongru's hand with the brush in his hand like a short blade. Yuchi Gongru lowered his head and saw a black line on the back of his hand. It was black and should be non-toxic.
With his sleeves hanging down and scimitar in his hand, Yuchi Gongru attacked Xiao Yichen again. In just three moves, the brush in Xiao Yichen's hand was cut into several pieces. Black ink flew all over the sky, a few drops fell on his sleeves, and a few drops fell on Yuchi Gongru's face.
Yuchi Gongru's eyes were fierce and he attacked Xiao Yichen again. If you want to laugh at him, be prepared to bleed.
Xiao Yichen chuckled coldly a few times, hooked his toes, and with a swish, the roof tiles were blown off and flew towards Yuchi Gongru.
Yuchi Gongru swept the scimitar in his hand, and the tile was broken into two, then into four, and fell from the roof to the ground and shattered into pieces.
When the tiles fell and I looked in Xiao Yichen's direction, he was nowhere to be found.
The noise here soon attracted the guards in the mansion. Xiao Yichen was not stupid, so he decided to stop while he was ahead.
"Someone, chase after him for me!" Yuchi Gongru's eyes turned red with anxiety. He pointed in a direction and chased after him with his guards.
Under the moon, the imperial city was in chaos...
Under the moonlight, Xiao Yichen leaped across the rooftops as light as a swallow, occasionally looking back at Yuchi Gongru who was chasing him angrily. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued to fly forward.
Yuchi Gongru chased to the entrance of an alley, but could not find Xiao Yichen. Further ahead was the palace gate. It was easy to be discovered if someone sneaked into such a heavily guarded place, but now everything was calm, which made Yuchi Gongru feel uneasy.
The next day, at the Dayan Palace.
The old emperor slowly opened his eyes under Bai Mo's acupuncture. At this moment, the first ray of sunlight in the morning broke through the window and hit his bed. He slowly sat up and looked at Bai Mo, who was young but was hailed as a miracle doctor, with a smile.
The old emperor smiled and said, "The divine doctor's medical skills are indeed superb. In just three days, I already feel much more relaxed and no longer feel sleepy."
Bai Mo cupped his hands and smiled, "This is your great fortune, Your Majesty."
The old emperor laughed and waved his hand, saying, "There is a reward. I wonder what the divine doctor wants. If I have anything, I can give it to you."
Bai Mo smiled and shook his head. "Saving people is the duty of a doctor. I didn't save you because you are the emperor of Dayan. If the emperor really wants to do Bai Mo a favor, Bai Mo hopes that Dongqi and Dayan will be on good terms."
The old emperor's eyes flashed, and he looked meaningfully at Bai Mo who was standing upright in front of him.
