Black Dragon Society

  What!

  Too abnormal!

  Zhuge Jingze and Beidang Junlian were both stunned, and Shuiyan was also stunned. This...this is too good to be true?

  "Ah, a day's plan is made in the morning. I've been occupied by you all since early morning. Jingze, please ask Junchen and Feishuang to play the zither and recite poetry for me in the garden later. I want to take a good rest for two days."

  Good grief!

  Play the piano and recite poetry?

  Zhuge Jingze's face twisted slightly, with her talent, alas, it was simply playing the lute to a cow!

  The water smoke's eyes moved slightly, and he sincerely requested: "Princess, if you don't mind, Water Smoke is willing to play the zither for your entertainment at the princess's mansion, or even sing and dance."

  Beidong Junlian opened her big mouth, staring at the water pipe in a strange way. She wasn't usually someone who lacked tact, so why was she acting crazy with Chiyang Princess today?

  "Alright then, you can stay and try."

  ……

  Thus, the news that Princess Chiyang had redeemed the red card of Wanhuah Lou and was still staying in the princess's mansion spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the capital of Xia Guo within two or three days.

  Even the people in the imperial palace heard about it, and when the various masters of the Xia Kingdom's imperial palace received the news, their faces twisted to varying degrees. The most rigid one was naturally Emperor Xia Shangyu of the Xia Kingdom. If this matter were to spread to the State of Yue, wouldn't it be said that the husband he had chosen for Gong Chenxi was unfaithful?

  Xia Shangyu thought for a moment and ordered: "Summon Princess Chiyang and Beidong Junlian to enter the palace and attend tonight's banquet."

  "Your Majesty, this may not be possible..." Liu Xin, the palace attendant beside Xia Shangyu, looked at his master with difficulty, worried that what came next would be depressing for him.

  "Why?"

  Liu Xin scratched his head, "That, I heard that Princess Chiyang has not been feeling well these past few days. Even when the Eldest Princess went to visit her yesterday, she didn't get to see her."

  Xia Shangyu got a headache, "Last time I invited her to the palace, she was uncomfortable. This time is still uncomfortable? Where did that overbearing and arrogant Gong Chenxiu go?"

  Liu Xin secretly scolded in her heart, "How could the Emperor be willing to face that overbearing and arrogant Chi Yang Princess instead of letting others fall ill? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

  "Cough, Your Majesty, this matter is not easy for me to say, but in fact, our private conversation about Princess Chiyang was nothing much. She's just lazy and doesn't want to go anywhere. The imperial physician sent by the Empress Dowager has re-examined her, and the result is still the same - Princess Chiyang has been poisoned severely, but it won't be fatal... I suspect that maybe because of the poisoning, Princess Chiyang became lazy and didn't want to go anywhere."

  Mentioning this made Xia Shangyu even more annoyed, "What are those imperial physicians eating, can't even cure a single poison!"

  "The emperor's anger has subsided, the imperial physicians have tried their best, but it's said that Princess Chiyang's poison is really strange, even the sixth princess of the Princess Mansion, Xu Feishuang, can't do anything about it!"

  "Xu Feishuang also had no way?"

  "Yes, it's strange that Lord Huangfu returned once and left in a hurry again. His expression seemed to be fine too. I dare to guess that the life of Princess Chi Yang is not in danger, so General Huangfu was able to leave with peace of mind."

  Xia Shangyu sighed and said, "This is really a headache!"

  "Your Majesty, I think that even if Princess Chuyang didn't suffer with you, you should also turn a blind eye and let people bestow some precious medicine on her to fully demonstrate your benevolence and care!"

  "Alas!"

  Xia Shangyu looked at the pile of memorials on his desk and got a headache, national affairs were endless... Alas, let it be, let it be, just indulge her for now!

  When Huangfu Jinghao is not nervous, he doesn't have to be nervous either.

  ……

  At the time when Xia Shangyu was busy and worried, on the side of the Princess's mansion.

  In the garden, in the pavilion.

  The fifth young master recites poetry, the sixth young master refines medicine, playing the pipa and savoring delicious food slowly and carefully morning and night...

  There are also maids who massage legs, and the days pass quite comfortably.

  Shui Yan is indeed the ace of Wan Hua Lou, that voice is really good to listen to. Every time I hear Shui Yan's songs, my heart can sleep peacefully and soundly.

  No sooner had she finished singing than she fell asleep again.

  The sound of the water pipe and the zither fell, she let out a faint sigh, she didn't even know that Princess Chiyang lived such a life.

  I'm really lazy, every day I don't even want to put on makeup, my hair is also just a simple bun with a ribbon for several days, clothes are fine, they're all made of good material.

  She finds this life somewhat comfortable, yet seemingly a bit dull.

  She would rather be bored than go back to working at Wan Hua Lou again.

  A hurried footsteps came, Ji Jingyuan and Xiao Bing two people returned in a flurry of dust, they had been away from home for five days to investigate the assassin case.

  Their faces looked somewhat tired, then they walked in quickly to see that it was just Princess Chiyang sleeping soundly. Xiao Bing's originally cold face became even colder, emitting a chill throughout her body, and being called "frozen three feet" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

  Lin Junchen shrugged and said in a low voice: "The princess has just fallen asleep. If it's something urgent, then wake her up!"

  Ji Jingyuan's usually gentle face didn't look good either, and he averted his gaze from Gong Chenxiu's face, saying stiffly: "Wake her up!"

  "Don't worry, I'm awake. Speak directly." A lazy voice came from the rattan chair, and then she slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the two servants, and smiled slightly, "Back?"

  Xiao looked at her with a cold and icy gaze, his tone sarcastic, "The princess is indeed carefree!"

  "Is it that I'm supposed to eat and sleep poorly just because of one assassination attempt?"

  Everyone has their own reasons for doing things!

  "You two must be tired, why don't you go wash up first?"

  Ji Jingyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "Princess, the situation has become somewhat clearer. The assassin is from the Black Dragon Gang, which emerged in the Jianghu in recent years."

  Hei Long? Chen Xi's red lips pursed slightly, "This name isn't bad, how is it that the people of this gang are so formidable?"

  Ji Jingyuan gave her a sideways glance and thought: Aren't you awesome? You saw it with your own eyes, why are you still asking?!

  "Princess, this time it's probably just a rich person who hired them to kill you. The Black Dragon Gang has been taking on jobs for the past two years and none of them have failed yet!" Xiao Bing said with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

  In the morning and evening, she sighed, if others wanted to kill her, she had no way to make them change their minds!

  "Princess, this matter may require us to ask Young Master Huangfu to bring people back to help. Otherwise, the current number of people in the Princess's mansion is really insufficient to counter the Black Dragon Gang." Lin Junchen said with a worried expression.

  Shui Yan was also worried, she didn't want anything to happen to Princess Chiyang, otherwise her good days would probably come to an end.

  He glanced at everyone with a calm face, "No harm, let them toss around! If you have the ability, come and kill!"

  Oh no!

  Isn't this too negative?

  "At dawn and dusk, Xiao Bing glanced at the black dragon killer with a light voice: 'If even a humble assassin from the Black Dragon Society requires the trouble of my Imperial Guard, then what are you people still doing here? What are the officials of Xia Guo still doing? Is this princess's life so worthless?'"

  The words of Chen Xi made Ji Jingyuan and the others fall silent. The death of Princess Chiyang meant something they all understood very clearly, not only could they not let Princess Chiyang come to harm, but also the Emperor of Xia Guo would not easily give up her life.

  One hundred thousand elite soldiers only obey the orders of Princess Chi Yang!

  But her such certainty also made them feel uncomfortable, as if they were just one of the pawns being used.

  "Water smoke, continue playing the zither, I want to take a nap."

  "Yes, Princess." The water smoke stole a glance at several men and continued to play the piano innocently.

  Ji Jingyuan was speechless, and she exchanged a glance with Xiao Bing before leaving one after another. They had also been busy for several days and should tidy up and take a good rest.
