The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 153 Xie Zhiyan is injured

The scene became even more chaotic.

From the corner of her eye, Lu Wan saw Li Yuyi being dragged into the carriage by Tang Xuanyan and the female officer, and left quickly, and she was secretly relieved.

She looked sharply at the people who were causing chaos in front of the stage, and shouted sternly: "Guardians, catch those who are causing trouble!"

The dozen or so city guards guarding the porridge shed had been pushed away by the chaotic crowd, and some people were secretly pulled to the ground and unable to get up.

Before the city guards could squeeze in, several troublemakers revealed their true colors and rushed forward with ferocious expressions, picking up wooden sticks and kitchen knives.

"Kill Lu Wan!" the leader shouted.

Lu Wan frowned, the person recognized her!

Sisters Mingxiao and Luzhu immediately started fighting with them.

Wu Lu and his brothers had just returned from pulling two carts of rice from Zuijiangyue. Upon seeing this, he quickly picked up the guy and rushed over, but there were too many people.

Lu Wan frowned, knowing that today's scene was planned by someone, and it seemed that he couldn't be easily merciful.

"Kill!" someone screamed among the victims, and the man raised his hands covered with blood.

Two people fell in front of him, and an arrow was shot into his back.

Someone actually fired a cold arrow!
Just as Lu Wan raised her head and looked out, a sharp arrow whirling towards her instantly enlarged her pupils.

"Girl!" Dawn screamed, but she and the Luzhu sisters were entangled and had no time to rush over.

Lu Wan felt the sharp arrow piercing the cold wind and roaring towards him, and was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, everything went dark, and he fell into a broad embrace. The world was spinning in front of him, and he met a pair of deep and anxious eyes again.

Until her feet landed on the ground again, she still didn't come back to her senses, staring blankly at Yan Yunhe who suddenly appeared.

"you you……"

As soon as the visitor turned around, Xuanhu's cloak flew up, and he waved the cold sword in his hand: "Those who cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"

A large group of people in black clothes appeared out of nowhere and took control of the scene in an instant. In the blink of an eye, all the troublemakers were knocked down. The two recalcitrant people were killed on the spot, and blood spattered, scaring the others away from struggling.

The crowded victims were also shocked and stood still, daring not to move.

Xie Zhiyan then turned to look at Lu Wan: "Are you injured?"

Lu Wan shook her head: "No."

"Are you scared?"

Lu Wan raised her eyebrows: "How could I be scared?"

Xie Zhiyan's face was expressionless: "I just know how to show off."

Lu Wan: "..."

The person who was said to have been poisoned was brought into the porridge shed. Xie Zhiyan stepped aside and said, "Let her see if she is poisoned."

Doctor Bu, who finally squeezed out of the crowd, led a few people forward to check.

"It's poisoning."

The victims began to stir again.

"Is porridge really poisonous?"

"Maybe steamed buns."

"I'll eat it for you to see." Lu Wan stepped forward, scooped up a spoonful of porridge with an iron spoon, drank a big mouthful in front of everyone, took a big bite of a steamed bun, chewed it up quickly and swallowed it.

He shouted loudly: "The Empress personally issued an edict. Part of the grain was allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs from the imperial granary, and part of it was purchased from the Caoliang Department by me with the government's grain certificate. They are all grains controlled by the government. How can it be poisonous?"

Only then did the victims calm down.

Doctor Bu quickly administered the needles, and she gradually woke up, and she stood up: "She was not poisoned by porridge or steamed buns, but was poisoned by covering her mouth and nose with something contaminated with poison."

The people present were in an uproar.

Xie Zhiyan waved his hand: "Take it to the Imperial City Department for strict investigation!"

Outside the field, the person who fired the arrow was also arrested, and more than a dozen people were kidnapped and taken away by Wuhuada. Cang Lang and his people quickly maintained order at the scene.

Qing Ming pulled Mingxiao aside and looked at her blood-covered hands nervously: "Are you injured?"

Dawn glared at him coldly: "Aren't you protecting the eldest girl? Where have everyone gone?"

Qing Ming lowered his voice: "The two of us got the news that someone was going to assassinate the master. All of us who stayed here left the city to pick up the master. Who would have thought that we would meet the master and the assassin by chance, and the master would be injured. If it were too late, One step will cause big trouble.”

Dawn looked at the tall figure standing next to Lu Wan.

Qing Ming said in a voice that only two people heard: "Don't make any sound, the master doesn't want people to know that he is injured."

"What about you? Are you injured?" His nervous eyes made Mingxiao's heart soften.

The voice softened: "No, skin injury."

"It's not okay for girls to have skin injuries. I'll bandage them for you." Qing Ming was anxious to pull someone away. "Get lost." Dawn glared at him, avoided his hand, ran to Dr. Bu, and called a female disciple to bandage her injured arm.

The scene was quickly cleared, and the hungry victims couldn't care less. As long as the porridge and steamed buns were fine, everyone began to line up in an orderly manner to wait for food.

Lu Wan stood next to Xie Zhiyan and turned to look at his tense profile. Seeing that he ignored her for a while, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "How was the investigation?"

Xie Zhiyan looked down at her: "I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Lu Wan: "..."

"Wan'er." Li Yuyi's voice sounded from behind.

Lu Wan turned around: "Why is sister Yuyi back again?"

Li Yuyi was also followed by Qin Haotian.

"I heard there was a lot of commotion here, and I was afraid something might happen to you." Li Yuyi nervously took her hand and looked up and down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no injury on her body.

"I told her to come back, which put you in an extra layer of danger. She just refused to listen and had to come back." Qin Haotian complained.

"Master Qin, why are you here too?"

Qin Haotian glanced at Xie Zhiyan: "I am as worried about you as the eldest princess. Tell me, why do you, a little girl, get so much limelight? Just let a man come out and take care of you if something happens. If you are injured, I will feel sorry for you."

While he was talking, the man came over, bent over, and looked at Lu Wan with a playful smile.

Lu Wan quickly took a step back and distanced herself.

Xie Zhiyan's face darkened visibly.

Li Yuyi glanced at him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xie Zhiyan inadvertently took a step forward and stood between Qin Haotian and Lu Wan, "Those who make people hateful have bad words."

"You slander me!" Qin Haotian was angry, "If I hadn't gotten the news and asked Cang Lang and others to inform you quickly and save you, would you still be alive here playing the role of a hero saving a beauty?"

Xie Zhiyan scolded coldly: "If you hadn't been so troublesome, nothing would have happened to Miss Lu."

The few people he left behind were all masters. It was Qin Haotian who gave them the news that someone had laid out many killers to intercept him on the way, so Cang Lang and the others left the city without caring about Lu Wan.

He hasn't settled the score with this guy yet!
Qin Haotian: "..."

"Hey, you ungrateful guy!" He was so angry that he punched Xie Zhiyan in the waist.

Xie Zhiyan: "..."

Qin Haotian was about to throw a second punch, but he was pushed away, staggering and almost falling into the porridge pot.

Li Yuyi had quick eyesight and quickly grabbed him.

Qin Haotian slapped his chest while looking at the hot porridge pot, and turned angrily to glare at Lu Wan who was pushing him.

"Injured?" Lu Wan's eyes were filled with nervousness.

Qin Haotian: "..."

Isn’t all his love giving?
Xie Zhiyan saw that the girl's face turned pale with anxiety, and subconsciously pulled on the black fox cloak: "It's okay, it's a small injury, I'm used to it."

Qin Haotian, who was ignored, could not see how comfortable he was, and sneered: "Are you used to it? It's almost up to your waist, and you've lost two buckets of blood. If you were used to it, all your internal organs would have been swallowed up long ago!"

"Shut up!" Xie Zhiyan glared over with a cold expression.

Lu Wan's face turned even paler, "Then you are still here?"

She hurriedly looked at Dr. Bu: "Doctor Bu, come and check Master Yan's injury."

Doctor Bu, who was directing help, turned around and said, "It has been bandaged, but no one can control whether he lives or not."

Doctor Bu's tone was also unkind, presumably because the patient was disobedient.

Lu Wan was so anxious that she almost shed tears, "Why are you like this? Qing Ming, Qing Ming, help Master Yan back quickly."

Qing Ming hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to reach out to help Xie Zhiyan, but his eyes pierced his eyes and he retracted his hands in embarrassment.

His master had always been strong, and he was not allowed to show how serious his injuries were in front of others.

Lu Wan stomped her feet, reached out to hold his arm, raised her eyebrows, and shouted in a cold voice: "Sit down!"

Xie Zhiyan: "..."

Is this an order for him?
His eyes fell on her white little hands, his eyes sparkling slightly.

How could she be so nervous about herself?

Qing Ming quickly brought a chair over and placed it behind Xie Zhiyan's butt.

Li Yuyi frowned: "Master Yan, don't show off, sit down quickly."

Xie Zhiyan originally wanted to cover up the injury to avoid making his enemies arrogant, but now it seems he can no longer hide it.

Everyone stared at him and had no choice but to sit down.
