"Sister, how did you know the method to distinguish the authenticity of warm jade?" Chu Mingxuan asked her curiously.
"When I was young, I accidentally cut my arm and bled a lot. Father took out the warm jade to help me treat the wound. At that time, the warm jade emitted a silver-white, thread-like energy, slowly healing my wound. Later, the big cut on my arm healed in two or three days, and there was no scar at all," Chu Miaoling slowly explained to the three.
"Oh, this warm jade is truly magical. No wonder so many people want to get their hands on it," Leng Ruoli exclaimed after hearing Chu Miaoling's words.
"But my father said that using this warm jade to treat injuries has its drawbacks. It seems that the more times it's used by one person, the less effective it becomes. So, healing people still relies on medical skills," Chu Miaoling then added.
"Alas, yet there are still those with ill intentions who try their best to obtain it," Leng Ruoli sighed helplessly.
Upon hearing this, the Chu siblings deeply empathized. Looking at the warm jade, their hearts were filled with complex emotions.
Their entire Chu family had been annihilated because of this warm jade.
"May I ask how His Highness the Prince and Consort found this warm jade?" Chu Miaoling asked curiously.
"The night before last, our Leng Wang Residence was surrounded by hundreds of people brought by the leader of An Ye Ge. They even specifically invited Yin Gong to set up the Golden Bell Cover formation around the Leng Wang Residence, trapping us all inside," Leng Ruoli stated frankly, revealing what happened at the Leng Wang Residence the night before without any concealment.
"Heaven's wrath! The methods of the people from An Ye Ge are too vicious. How dare they openly surround the Leng Wang Residence? This is the capital, after all!" Chu Mingxuan said angrily.
He never expected that such a thing would happen just a few days after his sister and he hadn't returned to the residence.
"Hmph! Is there anything they wouldn't dare to do in this world?" Chu Miaoling sneered after hearing this. Having been a maid by Liu Ruyi's side for so many years, she had witnessed all sorts of ugly and disgusting things.
"Yes, they dare to do anything. However, although the leader of An Ye Ge surrounded the Leng Wang Residence, the hundreds of people he brought were no match for us. They were thoroughly defeated by His Highness the Prince and Ye Ying. Moreover, we discovered other identities of the An Ye Ge leader. One is the Great General Zhennan of Tian Wu Kingdom, and the other is Duke Wen, the father of the former favored concubine Rou of Nan Zhao Kingdom. No one would have guessed, right? Fortunately, he was hit by my hidden weapon, and he is now suffering immensely from his injuries," Leng Ruoli said with a cold laugh, her face filled with mockery.
"Haha, this is excellent. Organizations that harm people like An Ye Ge should be eliminated sooner rather than later to prevent them from causing more harm," Chu Mingxuan said with a gloating expression.
"Oh, this warm jade fell from the leader of An Ye Ge. At that time, His Highness the Prince and I saw something fall from him. We didn't pay much attention at first, but later, we saw this warm jade glowing, and we realized it was a treasure," Leng Ruoli smiled faintly.
"Consort, even though this warm jade has been found, we don't covet it anymore. It only brings us siblings lingering painful memories. Furthermore, if this warm jade were to remain with us, it would only bring us misfortune. Our abilities are too weak to protect it, so it's best to give it to you, Consort. What do you think, Mingxuan?"
"Sister, I don't covet it either. You can give it to whomever you say. I'll listen to you," Chu Mingxuan agreed with Chu Miaoling's decision.
After hearing Chu Mingxuan's words, Chu Miaoling showed a gratified smile.
Then, she placed the warm jade into Leng Ruoli's hand.
Seeing the firm resolve on the faces of the Chu siblings, Leng Ruoli glanced at Jun Mohan. As a result, Jun Mohan nodded at her.
Leng Ruoli had no choice but to accept the warm jade.
"Then, I will keep this warm jade for the siblings for now. If you ever need it, you can come to me," Leng Ruoli pursed her cherry lips, offering a heartwarming smile.
"Okay, thank you, Consort!"
After thanking Leng Ruoli, the Chu siblings hurriedly returned to their courtyard to move the medicinal herbs.
Leng Ruoli shook her head as she watched their retreating backs. These siblings were truly obsessed with medicine to the extreme.
By noon, Yin Chen rushed back from outside and reported to the Prince and Consort about the poisoning of Deputy General Yang. Everything went smoothly, and now they only needed to send two people to keep a close eye on his every move.
As night fell, the Prince and Consort intended to take a stroll in the southern part of the city.
However, as Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan stepped out of the residence, Old Man Lu hurried to catch up with them.
"Cold girl, Jun family boy, are you going to the southern part of the city to catch that beast?" Old Man Lu asked casually.
"Yes, Grandpa Lu, we are going to the southern part of the city for a walk," Leng Ruoli did not hide it from him.
"Let me go with you. Perhaps I can help you," Old Man Lu said in a low voice.
"Alright, then let's go together."
Subsequently, the three, accompanied by a few guards, took to using their Qinggong and flew away.
In less than half an incense stick's time, a group of people arrived outside a thatched hut in the southern part of the city.
The Prince and Consort and Old Man Lu waited in the shadows for not long before Deputy General Yang, who was hiding in the thatched hut, stealthily sneaked out of the courtyard. He looked left and right, stealthily making his way to a small manor outside the city.
As a result, shortly after Deputy General Yang stepped into the small manor, Old Man Lu exclaimed, "Someone has entered the manor! That kid's life is over!"
The Prince and Consort were confused by Old Man Lu's words.
"Grandpa Lu, are you saying that Deputy General Yang is already dead?"
"Yes, I saw a red light emanating from him, and he was extinguished. He has now been killed, but the killer has not yet left. We must chase after them quickly."
After speaking, Old Man Lu stamped his feet and flew into the small manor, with the Prince and Consort closely following.
Immediately, the three pushed open the door of the main house, and a strong smell of blood instantly hit their noses. Leng Ruoli took out her flashlight to illuminate the scene and saw Deputy General Yang lying in a pool of blood.
"Those few people escaped through the window. Let's hurry and chase!"
With Leng Ruoli's command, the group used their Qinggong and flew out.
The masked figures who killed Deputy General Yang quickened their pace and ran towards a small grove.
The Prince and Consort and Old Man Lu, along with a group of guards, pursued them relentlessly.
Later, Leng Ruoli suddenly had an idea and told Leng Ruoli and Old Man Lu to slow down their pursuit.
"Everyone, don't chase too fast. Those people are covered in Deputy General Yang's blood. They cannot escape. No matter where they flee, we will find them."
Leng Ruoli said to everyone with a mysterious smile.
