In the Heavenly Water Pavilion, the thin and weak Jiu Sheng was carrying Liu Yi into the inner room. Mother Su immediately followed. Mother Su had a plump figure. Although she was not young, she still had her charm. She was half old and held a rose-colored handkerchief in her hand. She frowned and followed him step by step.

"This is a big mess. What did the two of you do? That vase of mine is on your tab. That is a white jade porcelain bottle. Your sister's injuries are not light, so the doctor's money is also on your tab."

Jiu Sheng's expression did not change. She had always been a quiet person, so she skipped over the chattering Mother Su. Liu Yi in her arms was already a bloody person. Blood kept flowing out of her neck, dyeing her clothes red. The skin and flesh of the wound were open, and it was very terrifying.

Jiu Sheng carried Liu Yi to the bed and took out some hemostatic medicine and gauze from the drawer to stop the bleeding.

"How are his injuries?" Although Mother Su was full of calculations, she was also concerned about Liu Yi. She was the person in charge of the Heavenly Water Pavilion. With such a huge commotion outside, she naturally knew what had happened.

"I didn't injure my vital bloodline, but... I can't stop the bleeding." Jiu Sheng's brows were tightly knitted together. In their line of work, there was no lack of bleeding and injuries, but Liu Yi had always been under her protection. After they had met, this was the first time Liu Yi had suffered such a serious injury.

Mother Su looked at the unconscious Liu Yi on the bed and her eyes revealed worry." Alright, I'll call the doctor. Don't forget to put it on your tab."

Not long after, the doctor arrived. Seeing the injury, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He closed the door tightly. Jiu Sheng waited at the door. Before Liu Yi's room could send news about the injury, someone had already come to the door.

Jiusheng and Mother Su had already mentally prepared themselves for this, and had already guessed the identity of this group of people. The young lady wearing the bamboo hat was probably the adopted daughter of the current Emperor of Qingyuan, Princess Yi Le, Xi Junnian. She was one of the most daring and domineering noble ladies in Jingdou.

Jiu Sheng wasn't worried about the princess. She was worried about the Third Prince, Xi Junsong, who was extremely protective of her.

There were only three princes in the current Emperor, and Xi Junsong was the youngest. The eldest son of the Shu family and the Crown Prince fought for power, and only he was free from the struggle for power. It was rumored that the Third Prince was weak and sickly, but he was talented and magnanimous. The world called him Young Master Yunhe.

The Third Prince had never fought for power, but there was only one person, Princess Yi Le. Anyone who offended Princess Yi Le would be taken revenge by the Third Prince without exception. It could be said that he would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

The Third Prince's love for the princess was almost limitless, which led to the princess's arrogance and willfulness. Although the princess was only an adopted daughter of the royal family, the sons and daughters of the powerful officials in the court all gave the princess face.

Thinking of this, Jiu Sheng knew that she couldn't avoid this calamity. For now, she could only try her best not to attract the attention of these nobles and dignitaries, so as not to affect her future actions. As Jiu Sheng thought about it, she clenched the medicine bottle in her hand.

However, Jiu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little envious. The Third Prince must have cleaned up countless stalls for the princess. With Princess Yi Le's arrogant and condescending personality, it was unknown how much love and favor she needed to accumulate.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard movement at the door.

The guard in the lead had an extraordinary appearance, followed by a female servant whom they had just met. The two of them led more than ten sword-wielding subordinates and rushed in. Many female prostitutes in the building had already woken up in the morning, listening to the commotion and gathering in the corridor to watch the show.

The maid went straight to the second floor. When she went up the stairs, she reached Liu Yi's door. It was not difficult to push it open. The window of this room was the one where the vase fell. Jiu Sheng was anxious about Liu Yi's injury and had been waiting by Liu Yi's door for a long time.

"Big brother Xiao Yun, it's this woman." The waitress was plain, but because she had practiced martial arts, she was actually very heroic.

Mother Su knew that they would come sooner or later. This group of people from her sesame-sized art gallery wouldn't even take them seriously, let alone her. It was impossible for her to keep them here. She stopped them and pinched a rose-red handkerchief." Sir, you must be clear. Although I didn't discipline them well and let these two little ladies offend your young miss, you also saw that my little lady was badly injured and her life was in danger. I'm afraid…" "I can't live anymore." Mother Su tried the corner of her eyes, as if she was really going to cry."It can be considered as making up for my mistake. Why don't we forget about it."

Xiao Yun stared at Jiu Sheng." It's more than just an offense. You need to discipline your subordinate well. When did he steal your memorial archway's treasure? That's a huge loss." He raised his hand and signaled his subordinates to rush into the room to search. "We're here to retrieve the jade pendant that was stolen by this woman this morning."

Jiu Sheng and Mother Su were both stunned.

Jiu Sheng, who had been pretending to be pitiful and harmless, was stunned when she heard this. If she wanted to teach her a lesson, she could just do so. She was not afraid of physical pain. She actually had to create such a reputation. However, in any case, the worst that could happen was to take her and Liu Yi's lives. If that really happened, Jiu Sheng had already thought of a countermeasure.

The guards searched the place and even barged into Liu Yi's room, ignoring Liu Yi's injuries. Jiu Sheng couldn't use force to stop them, so she could only follow them back to report. She could kill or torture them as she pleased.

Xiao Yun, the guard in the lead, couldn't continue to search. It would be too much if they continued to search.

Before long, Jiu Sheng was escorted to the Third Prince's residence.

As expected, she was right. The person she had offended was this big shot.

Xiao Yun's guard carefully tied her up again and again until she could only roll on the floor with all her strength.

In the side hall, Jiu Sheng looked around. The prince's mansion was indeed excellent. At least, she had never seen such a magnificent mansion in her memory. It was much better than Raincloud Pavilion.

That wasn't the main point. Jiu Sheng had smelled an extremely familiar fragrance since she entered the side hall, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it before. She only felt that it couldn't be more familiar. Jiu Sheng looked around and noticed a small flower stuck in the middle of the celadon on the desk.

Presumably, this was the source of the dark fragrance she was familiar with.

Jiu Sheng's thoughts were wandering far away, trying to figure out where she had smelled such a familiar fragrance when she heard the sound of footsteps.

Jiu Sheng's body was already numb from being tied up. She wondered what kind of punishment the Third Prince was going to give her. Raising her head, she saw a young girl and the maid who had escorted her this morning. Jiu Sheng could finally see the girl's face clearly. Her pretty face was as white as a peony, extremely clear and beautiful, like the morning dew among flowers. Although she was not a beauty that could topple a country, her skin was as smooth as jade under the contrast of her extremely luxurious sea blue silk dress and the jade ornaments on her hair.

Princess Yi Le walked up to Jiusheng and bent over to look at her. The smile on her face was sweet but made people shudder." I don't know when there was such a delicate little lady like you in Jingdou, but you dared to offend me and even pushed me into the water. You'll have a good time!" Tell me, where is my jade pendant? Where did you hide it?"

Jiusheng looked like she had no money to collect her debt. She had indeed not taken any jade pendant. It was an undeserved disaster. The princess must have lost it herself and even blamed her for it." What jade pendant? I've never seen it before."

Princess Yi Le's smile was playful. She took out the long whip from her waist and handed it to the maid beside her." Ha, still stubborn. Poor people like you might have already been exchanged for money by you. Moon Slave, beat her hard!" According to Imperial Brother's words, as long as no one dies, it's fine."
