"Dong-dong-dong" the sound of the gong sounded, one slow and two fast. After the night watchman finished beating the gong, he sang: "The dew is heavy at midnight. Close the doors and windows, and be careful with the candlelight."
On the street outside the Forbidden City, a team of patrolling soldiers passed him by.
In the darkness, a figure lurked under the eaves of a house. When the street returned to calm again, the black shadow flew out from under the eaves and flashed past.
Chu Tiankuo was about to go back to Xingyuan when he discovered from afar that someone was hiding in the dark and monitoring Xingyuan.
He flashed and went in another direction.

Xing Nong heard the third watch and sat up from the bed. She took out a nightgown and was about to put it on, but she found that the nightgown seemed to be a little bigger than when she bought it
She tried the clothes on herself and found that they were several sizes too big!
Xing Nong: “???”
She obviously bought it according to her own size.
Can this piece of clothing grow on its own when placed in the creation space
Xing Nong had an idea and took out all the clothes she bought that day. She found that there was no change and the size fit her well. She also found an extra set of night clothes.
It’s exactly the set I bought.
Xing Nong: "..."
Xingnong thought that this creation spirit pearl was not his, so this set of clothes should belong to Chu Tiankuo.
By the way, when he put the nightgown in the space, did he put any silver in it
Xing Nong had an idea.
A silver ingot appeared in her hand!
However, this is his own money.
She took out some silver from the bank and put it in.
Xingnong: All the silver!
As soon as the thought came to her mind, boxes appeared on the ground, with Xingnong as the center, and instantly surrounded her.
In the blink of an eye, the boxes piled up higher and higher, filling up the entire room and drowning her. She was afraid of being crushed to death, so she shouted in a hurry: "Stop! Stop! Stop!..."
Chu Tiankuo appeared outside. When he heard Xingnong's anxious voice, his face changed. He quickly opened the door and rushed in.
Xing Nong was trapped in a wooden box, unable to move, with only her small head exposed. She saw Chu Tiankuo walk in and wanted to reach out to greet him, but she found that her hands were trapped in the wooden box and could not be pulled out. She grinned and narrowed her fox eyes: "Senior Brother, good evening!"
Chu Tiankuo: “… ”
Chu Tiankuo glanced at the room full of wooden boxes piled high and the little human heads buried in the boxes.
He recognized it at a glance; it was the wooden box in which he had placed the silver beads.
Very good, I don’t have to worry about hiding my private money anymore!
With a thought, the money boxes that filled the room disappeared.
Xing Nong was extremely embarrassed, but as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it would be others who were embarrassed, so she pretended that nothing had happened: "I just wanted to take out all my silver to see, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Brother, you are so rich, awesome, awesome! But, do you want to put your silver somewhere else? I'm worried that I might accidentally use it one day. Hehe..."
Xingnong thought about the cash boxes that kept appearing. If she didn’t call a stop, would the house be able to hold them all
So, how much silver did he hide in the space
And he actually gave the golden bead to himself just like that
Or did he not know there was so much silver in there
This should be impossible.
Chu Tiankuo was somewhat helpless: "I put the silver in my silver bead, but it also listens to you. Take it if you need it!"
He also wanted to find a place to put it, but where could he conveniently put the silver beads that he carried with him
Besides, he gave all the gold beads to her, and the things stored in the silver beads are not as valuable as those in the gold beads, so she can use them if she wants!
It doesn't matter.
Xing Nong understood that everything he had put into the Creation Pearl had entered his pearl!
Ha ha... ..
He must be feeling extremely frustrated!
Xingnong was thinking about whether he should stop putting things in it in the future, but it was really convenient to have a portable space.
Xing Nong couldn't help but ask, "Brother, excuse me, is the space of your silver bead big?"
"Infinitely."
It's actually endless? That's great!
"Brother, do you mind lending me some space? Don't worry, I will definitely remember what I put in there and how much silver I put in there. I won't get confused and mix it up with your things!"
Chu Tiankuo glanced at her. Didn't she put enough things in there? "Use it!"
As for what she said, wouldn’t it be clear
Why does he feel that he will have to be ambiguous with her for the rest of his life
"Thank you, senior brother!" Xing Nong said bluntly.
The best thing I have done in my life is to recognize such a senior brother!
"Go change your clothes, I'll take you to the princess's mansion."
The princess's mansion was guarded by experts sent by the Queen Mother. She had only practiced her internal skills for a few days and could not use them flexibly, so she would be easily discovered.
"Okay." Xingnong happily went to change clothes.
~
Chu Tiankuo brought Xingnong to the Qionghua Courtyard of the princess's mansion.
Shen Nan slipped into the ear room of Qionghua Courtyard, pressed the acupoints of the two maids, and then stood guard in the dark.
Xingnong pushed the door open and walked in. Chu Tiankuo was waiting outside.
Xing Qing slept a lot during the day and was afraid to sleep at night. When she noticed someone coming in, she was so scared that she sat up immediately.
In the dim light, Xing Nong immediately whispered, "Xing Qing, it's me!"
~
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Tiankuo brought Xingnong back to Xingyuan.
Inside the room, Xing Nong's face was cold: "You guessed right, it seems that they suddenly took Xing Qing to Beijing, and they really planned to let her marry."
Xingqing told her everything they had just said and done to her.
Especially what Princess Changle said, she said even the princess wanted to invite one for her!
Xing Qing thought that Princess Changle was just telling her a lie, but she estimated that after Xing Qing entered the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would find an excuse to confer the title of Princess on her.
After all, if they want Xing Qing to marry, the title of princess must be granted as soon as possible!
By the time the Zhao envoy arrived, it was too late.
Xing Nong thought about Xing Qing's words: "Xing Qing said that she will go to the palace tomorrow to thank the Queen Mother. The palace..."
"Leave the palace matters to me." Chu Tiankuo took over the conversation and poured her a cup of ginger tea.
This was what he asked the nanny to prepare before he left.
It was late at night and the dew was heavy. She had just run outside and felt icy cold. "Drink some ginger tea to warm yourself up. Soak in the pool later. It will be good for your health. Don't worry about the palace. Go to bed early tonight and wait for my good news tomorrow."
Xing Nong nodded, took the tea bowl and started drinking.
She did feel cold; this body was too sensitive to cold.
I don’t sweat even in the hot summer!
Chu Tiankuo felt relieved only when he saw her complexion gradually recover.
Taking a hot spring bath is good for her body.
He searched through medical books and finally found the antidote for the mandarin duck snake venom, but some of the herbs were quite rare.
There is even one species that has been extinct for nearly a hundred years. Only the great doctor Zhao of Zhao State still preserves one. It is kept as a family heirloom and will not sell it no matter how many people offer a high price!
Several other medicinal herbs are also very difficult to find. He has already arranged people to look for them, but it is unknown when they will be found.
Seeing her face turning red, he told her to go to bed early and returned to the palace.

The next day, Xing Qing got up early in the morning and was taken by Shen Ruolan to dress up and go into the palace.
