After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

Chapter 22 Breaking into the General’s Mansion at Night

The force on her wrist suddenly increased, almost crushing her bones.

Shu Yan took a breath and said, "Husband, it hurts so much."

He Wangzhou did not restrain his strength, but the coldness in his eyes gradually deepened, "Do you know Wuling San?"

Shu Yan's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat, "My grandfather's family often went out to do business, what haven't I seen? My mother told me before she was alive, so I naturally remembered it."

Shu Yan was already eight years old when Mr. Han died, and he was not at an age where he didn't understand anything. Although it was disrespectful to his ancestors, this was also the best excuse.

After hearing what she said, He Wangzhou's hand relaxed slightly.

Mo Jingnian seemed to be in more pain, and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. He wanted to say something, but after a long time, he just groaned in pain.

Shu Yan frowned, "If there is no antidote, even gods can't cure it, and the doctor's visit will be useless."

He Wangzhou's heart started to rise again, "I'm going to find the person who poisoned me."

"Can't wait."

Shu Yan shook off He Wangzhou's hand, "I know where the antidote is."

A flash of light flashed in He Wangzhou's eyes, "Where is it?"

Of course it was at the General's Mansion.

Seven years ago, Lin Yi returned victoriously. When he returned to the capital, he brought the antidote of Wuling Powder. He wanted to offer it to the Holy One, but for some reason he kept it on his own.

But Shu Yan didn't dare to say that.

"After Aunt Liu took charge of the family, she sent away everyone around my mother. There must be an old slave who knows where to find the antidote."

"Where are they? Let's go there now."

He Wangzhou took her to find the antidote, but Shu Yan pulled him back and said, half truthfully and half falsely: "Fifth Master can't live without people, you have to stay close by and watch carefully, don't let him bite you. Besides, he can't live without others." The person who did it will definitely come again, husband, you are so smart, you should know what to do."

She glanced at Mo Jingnian, who was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it anymore, "Leave the antidote to me."

He Wangzhou held her tightly with his backhand, "How long do you have to go?"

Shu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as possible."

She quickly left Jingyuan and went to see the place where she had fought with Hongxiu just now.Hongxiu had already left, and there was only the bloody hidden weapon on the ground.

She picked up the concealed weapon, wiped it clean on the leaves next to it, and put it away.

When I left, I didn't see Hongxiu again, and I never heard anything about her again.

The front yard of Manhualou was still singing and dancing happily, but who knew that there was a dying fifth prince hiding in the backyard.

She was not in a hurry to return to the Marquis Mansion, but went to a shop under her own name, where the Han family belonged to her own family. It was not until the night got darker that Shu Yan changed into men's clothes and left.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, Shu Yan climbed over the wall using the familiar route, avoided the guards and went straight into Ji Yi's study.

In addition to some sword manuals in Lin Yi's study, there are also some military books, which are clearly visible at a glance.

But Shu Yan knew that there was a secret compartment under Lin Yi's desk, which contained important things.

Wulingsan antidote is rare in the world, so it can be considered an important item.

Shu Yan touched almost every corner of the table but couldn't find the hidden compartment. He thought about it several times but still couldn't remember it.

Lin Yi is alert and will immediately notice if anything in the room is slightly out of place. Her trip cannot be in vain!
She thought about Ji Yi's habits over the years, and thought about some old things that Zuo Jing mentioned as jokes in her ears, and suddenly she seemed to think of something.

I saw her reach under the table with her hands, and lift them slightly with both hands, and there was indeed a sound of the grid popping open.

She smiled, but the next moment, her eyes suddenly tightened.

Two cold sounds came towards her, she narrowly dodged them, but she was still hit by a hidden weapon on her shoulder.

By coincidence, a guard came outside the study and had already heard what was going on inside.

Shu Yan didn't have time to think too much, he just had time to grab the white porcelain bottle next to the pile of letters in the secret room. "Major General!"

Shu Yan's heart suffocated when he heard a voice shouting outside.

Brother is here!

She gritted her teeth and left through the back window while Lin Zhongxuan barged in.But Lin Zhongxuan seemed to have already expected that he would grab the back of her neck.

Brother and sister have been brothers for so many years, and they know each other very well. Shu Yan knows every move and every move of Lin Zhongxuan.

The moment he took action, Shu Yan quickly crouched down to avoid it. Lin Zhongxuan did not catch the back of her neck, but accidentally pulled her hair away. Suddenly, the hair fell loose, and she looked like a woman.

"Still a female thief!"

Lin Zhongxuan sneered, and the frost came out of its sheath and stabbed Shu Yan in the heart.

She avoided the sword technique and used her best ability to deal with him.

Lin Zhongxuan paused obviously and looked at the masked woman in front of him with doubt.

These were all moves he and his sister used to practice martial arts, but he just went to see his sister today and personally confirmed that she indeed had no internal strength.

How could this female thief know her sister’s moves!

Lin Zhongxuan's eyes became even more stern, and the frost hit him again.

After all, she couldn't withstand Lin Zhongxuan's domineering swordsmanship with her bare hands, and she was already at a disadvantage after a few moves.Touching the hidden weapon on his waist, Shu Yan bent down to pick up the stones at his feet, mixed the hidden weapon into it, and shot them all towards Lin Zhongxuan without thinking.

By the time Lin Zhongxuan escaped, the female thief had long since disappeared.

The guards had already caught up with him, and Lin Zhongxuan hurried back to the study. After checking, he found nothing missing.

Thinking of something again, he returned to the back window again, and with the light of the torch, he picked up the hidden weapon on the ground.

Lin Yi was sent to the palace and was not allowed to come back yet. Lin Zhongxuan had to report the matter to his mother Zuo Jing first. Zuo Jing lost her temper and punished all the guards on duty tonight, and asked people to rush into the palace to call Lin Yi back.

Lin Jin'an practiced basic skills for a long time during the day and was so tired that he went to bed early. At this moment, he heard the noise in the house and hurriedly called Qiu Nan in.

"What happened at home?"

Qiunan is a servant and has been punished much more severely than his master Lin Jinan, and it is still not convenient for him to walk now.

"I heard that a thief came to the house."

Lin Jinxin's head tightened and he suddenly thought of Shu Yan.

"Don't worry, miss. The people have escaped and they can't cause trouble in the backyard."

Lin Jinan's expression changed and his voice was sharp, "How could you let someone run away! She should be killed!"

She later realized that her reaction was a little too much. Just when she was looking for an explanation, Lin Zhongxuan suddenly came.

He strode in. Before he could speak, Lin Jinan asked first.

"Brother, is there a thief in the house?"

Lin Zhongxuan snorted, "It's probably a spy from the enemy country who only went to my father's study. Fortunately, he was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

After a pause, he asked: "Sister, you haven't been out just now, have you?"

Lin Jinan didn't know why, "I went to bed early. If it hadn't been for the commotion outside, I wouldn't have known anything happened at home."

Seeing her ugly face, Lin Zhongxuan thought she was frightened and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister, no one can hurt you as long as my brother is here."

Lin Jinan pretended to feel guilty, "I'm really useless. If it were before, I could have helped my brother more."

Lin Zhongxuan didn't say anything when he mentioned the past, but his eyes darkened.

　It's winter, babies, keep warm. It's so cold this winter...
