Although Ruoshui City is small, it is an extremely wealthy place.

The city lord's mansion was built exquisitely and uniquely, and all the furnishings and utensils used were of the highest quality. Even the window paper on the windows was extremely exquisite.

It looks thin but is extremely flexible, making it difficult to break with just your fingers.

Xiao Bi took out the dagger from her arms and gently poked a small hole in the window paper.

She looked in attentively and saw a woman in an autumn-colored dress sitting sideways on a chair, gently scraping the tea foam with the lid of the cup while talking to someone.

Because of the angle, Xiao Bi could only see a small side of her face, making it difficult to identify her identity.

The person speaking to her was in an even more tricky position, with only half of his body exposed.

Xiao Bi could tell that this person was a man wearing moon-white robes, but he had no way of knowing his age and appearance.

She held her breath and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

Just listen to the woman say: "Lu Sheng..."

Just two words revealed the man's identity.

Xiao Bi raised her eyebrows, it turned out to be Mr. Li!

Knowing who he was, it was not difficult to guess the identity of the young woman.

Being able to enter and exit the City Lord's room at will, and being so familiar with Mr. Li, she could only be the stepmother of the City Lord Chun Yu, and the biological mother of Young Master Chun Yufei, Mrs. Li.

The two siblings were not born from the same mother, but they were having secret conversations in the city lord's room late at night, which made people suspicious.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Li's voice suddenly became louder.

"Third sister, give up those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible!"

Mrs. Li put the tea cup in her hand on the table, covered her face and cried bitterly.

"Lu Sheng... Third sister, please, Fei'er is only five years old..."

Mr. Li said impatiently: "The most important thing right now is the city lord. If anything happens to him, what future will you, mother and son, have?

Besides, the antidote can only detoxify but not cure the disease, so it is of no use to Fei'er at all."

Xiao Bi clenched her fists. Listening to the meaning of Mr. Li's words, City Lord Chunyu was actually poisoned?

Brother Huan sent Jin Yong here to inquire about the news. He was warmly received by Mr. Li, but he failed to meet the city lord after exhausting various methods.

They all believed that Mr. Li was loyal to Ji Lingyu, so they placed the city lord under house arrest and cut off his contact with the outside world.

But now it seems that things are different from what they guessed.

The antidote mentioned by the two siblings that can detoxify hundreds of poisons but cannot cure diseases must be the one she hangs around her neck.

It’s so funny that these two siblings start discussing how to distribute the things they haven’t received yet?!

Mrs. Li didn't listen to the advice at all. Not only did she cry more and more vigorously, but the words she said became more and more unpleasant.

Not to mention Mr. Li who was in the same room with her, even Xiao Bi who was outside the window was extremely annoyed.

When she rescued Chun Yufei last year, even though this woman cried and thanked her profusely, she didn't seem so annoyed?

Mr. Li said coldly: "If Third Sister is still like this, please don't come here again from now on."

Mrs. Li choked and said with sobs: "Little brother... I have to take care of the city lord..."

"There is no need. The most important thing in the City Lord's Mansion is people. Third sister should go back and take Fei'er. If there is nothing important, don't come here."

Mr. Li's attitude was very resolute. Although it was inconvenient to pull Ms. Li himself, he still forced her to stand up.

Xiao Bi finally saw his face clearly and was secretly surprised.

More than a year ago, Mr. Li was still a handsome, elegant and elegant young man, but now he has protruding cheekbones and sunken cheeks, making him more than ten years older than his actual age.

What kind of person is this person?

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sound of wind in my ears.

Xiao Bi raised her hand, and a copper coin fell steadily into her palm.

She raised her head and saw Qi Mei waving to her from the roof.

Xiao Bi borrowed some strength from her hand and landed lightly beside Qi Mei.

"What's wrong?" she asked in a very low voice.

Qi Mei pointed to the other side of the roof: "Chun Yu City Lord."

Xiao Bi followed him and walked over.

Several tiles from the roof have been removed, and the situation below can be seen very clearly.

The white-haired City Lord Chunyu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His once unforgettable face had become extremely old. It would be an understatement to say that he was haggard.

Qi Mei whispered: "I heard that the Lord of Chunyu City is only about forty years old, how come he is like this..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Li opened the door and walked into the inner room.

Xiao Pei had seen his shrewdness when she visited his mansion at night last year, so she didn't dare to be careless and pulled out the dagger again.

Sure enough, after taking just a few steps, Mr. Li noticed something strange in the room.

But his reaction speed was much worse than Xiao Bi's. As soon as he raised his head, a cold dagger was already pressed against his throat.

"Don't move!" Xiao Bi shouted sharply.

Mr. Li instinctively shrank back and used the light to see clearly the appearance of the person coming.

"Princess?!" He shouted softly.

Xiao Bi ignored him and shouted: "Seventh sister!"

Qi Mei jumped down from the roof and also used a dagger to hold Mr. Li at bay.

Xiao Bi was extremely satisfied with his reaction, took back the dagger and walked to the bedside.

Looking closely, City Lord Chunyu's condition becomes increasingly worrying.

If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his body, he wouldn't look like a living person at all.

Xiao Bi probed his forehead and breath, turned around and asked, "How long has the city lord been like this?"

Mr. Li snorted lightly and had no intention of answering Xiao Bi's question.

Qi Mei sneered and said: "Your life is in the hands of the uncle. Why are you so crazy?"

Xiao Bi said: "Master Li, we have some friendship, so I have no choice but to treat you like this today."

Mr. Li sarcastically said: "The princess is turning against you faster than flipping through a book. It has just been a year since I donated the medicine, and you don't remember anything?"

Xiao Bi was too lazy to chat with him, and said seriously: "Let's put things into perspective, the young master's kindness will never be forgotten by this princess in this life.

But you'd better explain to me clearly what happened to the city lord.

If there are half-truths or if there are any plans, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Mr. Li laughed and said: "Princess Princess is indeed very open-minded, but since you are so hostile to me, do you believe what I say?"

Xiao Bi said disapprovingly: "Let me tell you whether you believe it or not. Besides, if you don't want to tell the truth, don't you still have your master Ji Lingyu?"

Mr. Li's expression changed drastically: "You..."

Xiao Bi smiled and said: "If others don't know, you can't do anything except yourself. I can only blame you for being stupid. Just keep the important people and things in your heart. Why do you have to hang it out for people to visit?"

Mr. Li knew clearly that she was referring to the portrait in the secret room.

But regardless of the portrait or the relationship between him and his master, the city lord knew about it.

How did the princess get related to her master's search for the antidote?
