The male lead was struck by lightning

"Aiyaya, this is really amazing! Did you hear that Prince Yu's little heir was struck by lightning last night? That's really amazing."

In one of the most prosperous flower alleys in Jingdou, the heavy rain last night had soaked the entire road, and even the city river that flowed alongside the streets was full of water. As usual, the group of idle and lazy people immediately surrounded them and called for their little kids to carry stools and sit in a circle around Aunt Wang.

"Why is it this idiot prince again? He usually climbs walls and burrows holes. It's common for him to go up to the roof and tear off the tiles. In the end, he didn't do anything that would harm heaven and reason. How was he struck by lightning?" Everyone sighed. Accompanied by the fresh fragrance of the morning and the unique fragrance of this neighborhood, they began to distribute the melon seeds as usual.

" That's right. Not only is Prince Yu's residence getting more and more defeated, this Young Master Si is an idiot from birth. Not long ago, he came to our street to drink wine. This old woman happened to be watching from the side. Young Master Si pointed at the sparrow on the tree and said it was a phoenix. Then, he wanted to climb the tree to catch it. The guards who followed him could not stop him." Aunt Wang pointed at the crooked tree in front of the door." Nuo, this crooked tree." Aunt Wang saw that everyone was interested and quickly gestured for the servant to bring everyone a bowl of tea. She then said,

" This Young Master Si, not long ago, he was bewitched by a young lady from an art gallery and insisted on marrying that young lady back to the Prince's mansion. Princess Consort Yu was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet. She fell ill and could not recover. This Young Master Si did not stop. He cried, made a fuss, and hanged himself. He played the tricks of a woman and caused the entire Prince's mansion to be in chaos."

Everyone clicked their tongues and quickly asked," If a family like Prince Yu's residence really married a kabuki, wouldn't the world laugh at them to death?"

After another round of laughter, he asked," Then how did this prince get struck by lightning?"

" I haven't finished talking yet. Everyone saw the thunderstorm last night. It was spectacular. They wished they could split the capital apart. Coincidentally, last night, the prince pretended to run away from home. Just as he left the city gate, a bolt of lightning struck him." Aunt Wang shook her head and sighed deeply. It was as if she had already heard the announcement in the dark text." I wonder if the little prince will survive."

On this street, Aunt Wang, as the owner of a tea shop with an excellent location at the entrance of the alley, had the ability to grasp the direction of public opinion and her sensitivity. No one dared to claim to be second to her in terms of eloquence and sensitivity. This also made Aunt Wang's small tea shop stand tall among the entire street of fancy buildings.

Aunt Wang was sitting by the teahouse, foaming at the mouth as she spoke, her eyebrows twitching. Jiu Sheng was leaning against the window of the building opposite the teahouse.

She suddenly remembered that last night, when she found that the undergarment in the bedside table had disappeared, even with her patient personality, she could not help but curse this prince to be struck by lightning sooner or later.

At that time, Jiu Sheng thought of the hawker who had been pushing a cart full of messy things on the streets not long ago. He had pulled her along and said auspicious words to her, insisting on buying one. Jiu Sheng couldn't help but wonder if this thing was really so magical. Hence, he bought a good-looking porcelain doll.

As for whether this thing was divine or not, Jiu Sheng immediately admired it.

Jiu Sheng felt guilty and held her forehead with one hand. This was the first time the heavens had heard her wish after decades of unfulfilled wishes. Unexpectedly, it came true. Jiu Sheng thought of the porcelain doll in her room and was filled with awe.

However, this was indeed not a good thing.

Yes, very unfortunately, the little lady who had caused a ruckus in Prince Yu's residence from Aunt Wang's mouth was her. She was the new memorial archway of an unremarkable song and dance studio in the capital, the Cloudwater Pavilion. Just like how the Cloudwater Pavilion was silent in this place of fireworks, she was also unpopular. Her name was Jiu Sheng.

Liu Yi was listening to Aunt Wang's words. Her face was filled with excitement and her eyes were shining. She rubbed her hands together impatiently." Sister, the prince was really struck by lightning!" The heavens really have eyes."

Jiu Sheng was not happy." If he dies, won't our previous efforts be in vain?"

Liu Yi was stunned and only realized it after a while." That's right. If that idiot is dead, how are we going to enter Prince Yu's residence?"

Thinking of that idiot, Jiu Sheng couldn't help but grit her teeth for a long time. The image of Prince Yu appeared in her mind instantly. He had a lewd smile, dark eyebrows, and a pair of lifeless but filthy eyes. Jiu Sheng couldn't help but shiver. After a long time, she said," Let's wait and see. It's good that the idiot is dead. We can always find another way."

Liu Yi nodded.

Jiu Sheng suddenly lost her confidence. This was the first mission she had received since she left the mountain. Although she had been in contact with the prince of Prince Yu's residence... She had endured the humiliation, but fortunately, everything went according to plan. Unexpectedly, because of her wish, her plan was blocked. For a moment, she did not know if it was a blessing or a curse.

This man was unlucky. He had to drink water to fill his teeth. The prince was unlucky. He was struck by lightning even when he left the city. Liu Yi was no exception. Jiu Sheng was thinking about what to do next when Liu Yi accidentally pushed a white porcelain bottle with a fake flower stuck in it down the window sill.

As the bottle fell to the ground, Jiu Sheng sensed that something was wrong with the sound. It didn't sound like an ordinary thing falling to the floor. Then, an ear-piercing scream echoed throughout the alley.

Liu Yi immediately looked down and slapped her forehead. She turned to Jiu Sheng nervously and said," Oh no, I hit someone. What should I do? I have to go down and see if I hurt anyone."

Then, Liu Yi immediately lifted her skirt and went downstairs.

"Who smashed the vase and actually dared to plot against my young miss? Get down here!" Another female voice sounded from downstairs.

Jiu Sheng poked her head out and met the eyes of the female servant who had asked the question. The female servant was helping a woman wearing a long bamboo hat to cover her face to get up slowly. The woman who had been hit by the vase seemed to have been hit directly on the head, causing the flowers to scatter and the water to scatter all over her head. Fortunately, Mother Su had always been thrifty and the vases in the pavilion were all of inferior quality and not heavy. Although the young lady was a little disheveled, she seemed to be fine.

Jiu Sheng sighed inwardly, wondering how much more money she would have to pay that wily Su Niang.

"You! I'm talking about you! Come down!" The female attendant beside the young miss was very arrogant. She pointed a finger at her, as if she wanted to tear her apart and swallow her alive.

Jiu Sheng frowned. When she carefully observed the two women, she couldn't help but become cautious. Although these two women had concealed their identities, they looked extraordinary. They were probably the daughters of some wealthy family in the capital who had gone out for a walk. This alley was mostly filled with brothels and art centers, so they had concealed their identities. This matter would probably be difficult to resolve.

Jiu Sheng followed him downstairs.

There were already quite a number of people gathered downstairs. Even the group of casual people who were listening to the gossip under the tilted tree dragged their stools a few feet closer. In this street, there was no lack of shows from all walks of life. Of course, the most common thing that everyone saw was the tigress coming here to catch the old man drinking wine.

"Was it you who threw the vase?" The woman who was hit by the vase had a pleasant voice, but there was a hint of arrogance. She was wearing a sea blue dress and was tall and slender. Her face could not be seen clearly, but her temperament was not like that of an ordinary young lady.

She supported her head and stood up. She pointed at Liu Yi who was running downstairs." You dare to plot against me. I'm afraid you don't want to stay in the capital anymore!"

Liu Yi was just about to bow and apologize." I'm not…" "Before she finished speaking, that woman actually took out a long whip from her waist and whipped it at Liu Yi without saying anything.

Liu Yi didn't expect that this young lady would actually make a move. Although she had some basic martial arts, she couldn't dodge in time. A whip was whipped straight at her neck. Liu Yi couldn't withstand the force of the whip and was swept to the side. Her snow-white neck was instantly lacerated and blood flowed out. Her body curled up abnormally. Before she could moan, she lost consciousness in a moment.

When the surrounding people saw this scene, they quickly sucked in a breath of cold air. Which family's young miss was so ruthless?

The young girl in the bamboo hat panicked for a moment. She had wanted to teach him a lesson to vent her anger, but she had not expected the whip to hit her vital point.

Jiu Sheng went downstairs and saw this scene. It was too late to save Liu Yi. She quickly pushed through the crowd to Liu Yi's side and checked her wound. Fortunately, her throat was not cut open.

Jiu Sheng's anger rose, and she looked up at the girl holding the whip.

"What do you want? She plotted against me first, so what if I teach her a lesson? You're with her, and I'm going to teach you a lesson too!"

The girl saw Jiu Sheng's cold eyes through the veil and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. She took half a step back, knowing that she had gone too far this time and would inevitably be punished when she went back. However, she still mustered up her courage. Since things had come to this, she couldn't possibly apologize to these two women with her noble status. Hence, Chao Jiusheng swung her whip.

Seeing this, Jiu Sheng snorted coldly and quickly caught the whip with one hand, dissipating the force of the whip.

" You?!" The young lady holding the whip did not have time to be shocked by this turn of events. She stood up with the woman in front of her and whipped the whip hard. The young lady could not stand steadily. With the strength of the whip, she was trapped under Jiu Sheng's palm in the blink of an eye.

The female servant beside the young lady saw that her young lady was being restrained and quickly drew her sword and stepped forward.

Four or five hidden guards suddenly appeared from the crowd around her. Jiu Sheng knew that she had underestimated the girl's identity and was in trouble. She could sense that this arrogant and despotic girl did not have any martial arts skills. She glared at the female servant who had drawn her sword and ran towards the city river by the alley not far away.

The girl, who was bound and unable to move, panicked when she saw Jiu Sheng holding her hostage and rushing towards the city river." What are you doing? Let me go! If my brother finds out, you'll die a horrible death!"

Jiu Sheng couldn't care less. Liu Yi was her dearest sister. Thinking that Liu Yi was still in a coma, it was more important to escape and save her. Jiu Sheng immediately let go of the screaming girl in her arms and kicked her into the river.

This was the most bustling street in Jingdou. At this moment, several circles of people had already surrounded the two banks. With a splash, water splashed everywhere. Someone in the crowd began to shout," Miss, well done. This group of nobles only know how to bully the common people!"

The female attendant missed her target with her sword, but she couldn't catch up to Jiu Sheng. When she saw the young lady who had fallen into the water and kept calling for help, she glared hatefully at Jiu Sheng, who had quickly returned to Liu Yi's side. She followed the hidden guards who had rushed out to save her young lady who had fallen into the water.

When the waitress turned around, she saw that the two women had disappeared into the crowd, leaving only a pool of eye-catching blood on the ground.

The female attendant raised her head and looked at the art gallery in front of her. She silently noted down the name." Heavenly Water Pavilion."
