"Humph!" Mo Yuan groaned, and An Xia hurriedly took the needle out, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

"Mo Yuan …" Anxia tried to call her name, but her voice was not steady. It was a little shaky, and her eyes were unblinking as she stared at Mo Yuan on the bed.

She had practiced medicine for so many years that she didn't have much of an epiphany. At this moment, she found it hard to accept.

At this moment, Mo Yuan's complexion had already turned from black to green, and the black color on his lips had already faded. Only an excessive paleness could be seen on his face.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at An Xia. "Do you want to kill me?" His voice was very weak.

An Xia let out a sigh and patted his heart. It was a good thing Mo Yuan didn't die, otherwise he really would have died with him.

"Alright, I'm fine now." An Xia pulled out the silver needles from each of his body's meridians one by one and began to disinfect them. His movements were orderly and calm.

Mo Yuan, who had already sobered up, watched her every move with a serious expression. "The young lady from the Residence of An actually has good medical skills."

There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

"I don't dare to say so, but I do understand some of the basics." An Xia didn't even raise his head as he replied, "Actually, I don't want to save you, but I'm in the Residence of Ensign. If you die, I won't be able to explain myself. I can only save your life for free."

He sounded reluctant.

"Is that so …" Mo Yuan's eyes turned cold, and his tone became colder. He laid on the bed without moving, but the vicious aura emanating from his body became more and more intense.

Your temper doesn't seem to be too good. It will easily harm your body, especially after the poison has just been purged from your body. If you lose your temper, the poison will once again circulate through your entire body's organs along with your blood. An Xia, on the other hand, had an unperturbed expression.

That sentence rendered Mo Yuan speechless for a long time.

"Do you think I'm afraid of death?" "Mo Yuan had never seen such a bold woman. Even if she was a daughter of the Residence of An, and was inferior to a man since ancient times, no matter how prestigious her status was, she could not be directly compared with an ensign.

"I don't care if you're afraid of death. I only know that you can't die right now. At least wait until my cousin takes me back to the general's mansion." An Xia, who was used to seeing patients with bad tempers, was completely unmoved.

"Cousin …" At this moment, another shout came from above. It was clear that Wei Siyuan was in a hurry.

"I'm going out." An Xia calculated the time and if she kept delaying, the sky would brighten.

She was alone with Mo Yuan in the secret basement, so it would be unpleasant to talk about it. Especially since the crown prince was anxious to destroy the time of the marriage, he could not afford to cause any trouble.

"Other than me, no one else in this secret chamber is allowed to know." Mo Yuan's body was still feeling weak, but at this moment, he was speaking coldly.

"What about me?" An Xia asked as she put away the silver needles and quickly held one in her hand.

Mo Yuan didn't look at her and closed his eyes lightly. "On the account that you saved my life, I won't take your life. But I hope you can keep this secret, otherwise …"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll come back here again?" Of course, An Xia was not afraid of Mo Yuan. Even though Mo Yuan had extraordinary skills, he was still a sick man.

"Are you talking about mechanisms? Unless you know the incantation for the Plum Blossom Count, you will definitely not be able to open this secret chamber next time." Mo Yuan said casually.

Hearing the words "Plum Blossom easy to count", An Xia pursed her lips. This thing was too profound and she had no interest in it. Furthermore, she had no interest in the secret chamber within the commander-in-chief's mansion.

"Then when are you going to let me go out and meet my cousin?" An Xia stared at Mo Yuan and asked unhappily.

"Wait for it to calm down outside." Mo Yuan pointed at the wall across them. "There's dry food and water behind that."

This was truly a place of refuge. Everything had been prepared.

"You seem to have long anticipated such a day …" An Xia had a doubt in his heart, so he asked even more.

Mo Yuan glanced at her and closed his eyes again, not saying anything.

An Xia felt bored and looked around. Wei Siyuan's shout could still be faintly heard from above, but it was getting further and further away.

With such a big event happening in the ensign palace, the next day, it alarmed the master of the palace. The personal army of the Nine Gates Governor came to check, and they even sent poison doctors to check on the poisoned soldiers.

However, after an entire morning passed, there wasn't much progress.

On the other hand, the young lieutenant Mo Yuan could not be seen alive, nor could he be seen dead.

This caused a huge commotion in the imperial court. In order to show his affection for the officials, the crown prince had also personally come to the Residence of Ensign. He had even gathered clues with the justice court in the study in order to find the murderer who assassinated Mo Yuan.

"There doesn't seem to be any fighting here." The Crown Prince, Beiming Xing, said as he entered the study. Although it was a mess, it wasn't because of the fight.

The Supreme Court Official Ye Wenqi also nodded. "Indeed, but someone said that Lieutenant Mo usually stays in his study. On the day of the accident, he didn't go out, nor did he go to the backyard."

"You mean … Lieutenant Mo disappeared from here? " Darknorth frowned, not daring to believe it.

"Your Highness, there are traces of blood here." Actually, Wei Siyuan was more anxious than anyone else. Mo Yuan was his good friend, and his cousin also disappeared along with him.

Moreover, no one knew that he had placed An Xia in the commander-in-chief's residence.

If this matter were to spread to the ears of the Crown Prince, regardless of whether An Xia was alive or dead, he would have a good reason to end the engagement.

At this moment, Wei Siyuan was standing on the low couch behind the screen. It was obvious that it had been carefully treated by someone, but there was still a trace of blood on it.

Beiming Xing and Ye Wenqi rushed over to the bed and also looked over with a puzzled expression.

If he had been injured and bled, there would have been more blood.

"Look around and see if there are any other clues!" Beiming Xing waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Wei Siyuan and Ye Wenqi replied and continued searching the study.

Beiming Xiao, who had been standing by Beiming Xing's side all this time, didn't speak. His face looked overly pale, but his back was very straight.

"What does royal brother think?" Suddenly, Beiming Xing turned his head and looked at Beiming Xiao, as if he had been too calm.

"Chendi feels that Lieutenant Mo is still alive." Beiming Xiao spoke slowly while pointing at the blood stain on the bed, "This was left behind when he was treating his wounds. If your guess is correct, the blood shirt is in this room. Lieutenant Mo must have met with some urgent matter before he left."

"What could it be …" Beiming Xing also believed Beiming Xiao's words.

At this moment, Beiming Xiao looked deeply at the bookshelf and smiled as if he had thought of something.

Beiming Xing also followed Beiming Xiao's line of sight and walked to the bookshelf. There was no longer any book on the shelf; it was completely clean.

"Royal brother, I think these people are here for this bookshelf." Darknorth raised his hand and touched the bookshelf.

"Why does the Crown Prince say that?" At this moment, Wei Siyuan also walked in. He happened to hear Beiming Xing say, "If you want to go to the bookshelves, you can bring them away. You have to know that all the guards here are poisoned. They can't be stopped at all."

"No!" Beiming Xiao also waved his hand, "They must be here for something."

"What's in the lieutenant's mansion?" Darknorth strings stiffened. This was no small matter.

The people of Darknorth wouldn't use poison, especially such a highly toxic one. It was obvious that Beiming Shang was sent by the other three countries, but he had set his eyes on the Lieutenant's Mansion. This must not be a simple matter.

"He has the border map." The justice court's official, Ye Wenqi, fiercely frowned. "The other party came for this."

"Crap." Beiming Yin punched the empty bookshelf. "This matter must be reported to father."

Afterwards, Beiming Xing left the lieutenant's mansion with his guards, leaving Ye Wenqi to guard the mansion.

All the poison doctors in the palace were helping the soldiers and servants in detoxifying the poison. It was just that they had never come in contact with this poison before, so they were unable to concoct the antidote in a short period of time.

An Xia and Mo Yuan, who had been in the underground chamber, could clearly hear the commotion above. They looked at each other before An Xia said, "You're still not going out?" The Third Prince has already rescued you. "

An Xia felt that Beiming Xiao's words were intentionally meant for the crown prince to hear.

Mo Yuan looked deeply at An Xia. "How did you know it was the Third Prince?"

"Is there anyone else besides the third prince with the crown prince? I have seen it before at the banquet at the Residence of the Marquis. " An Xia's reaction was fast. She and Beiming Xiao could be considered a cooperative relationship, but she couldn't let anyone know about it.

"Moreover, I have seen the crown prince and the third prince enter and exit the general's manor." An Xia added, thinking of the crown prince's face, she also felt somewhat disgusted.

If it wasn't for this, if it wasn't for Madam An's safety in the family, she really would have proposed marriage annulment.

However, the situation was not good for her. She had to fight for the position of the Crown Prince's consort.

Mo Yuan did not answer and instead looked deeply at An Xia. "There's an exit at the end of the hall. You can leave by yourself. If we leave together, you won't be able to enter the palace."

"Are you trying to silence me?" An Xia stared at Mo Yuan. She already knew the entrance to the tunnel, and if she knew, the exit might really be close to death.

"Is there a need to go through so much trouble to silence you?" Mo Yuan coldly stared at her as he icily said.

An Xia turned her head and glared at him. She had been changing his medicine these past two days and knew that his wounds had healed quite well. However, it wasn't easy for him to kill her.

However, if there was an ambush at the exit, that was not certain.

How could an outsider find out about such an important tunnel?

"You saved my life. As long as you keep this secret, I will not kill you." Mo Yuan spoke with a straight face and his facial features became even colder, causing An Xia to feel that the temperature in the secret chamber dropped even further.

"It wasn't easy for me to live to this day. Don't worry, I really cherish my life." Only then did An Xia relax a bit. She looked around the room and asked, "Which side is the exit?"

The poison in Mo Yuan's body had been completely cleansed, and the wounds on his body did not affect his movements. He walked to the bookshelf and twisted the mechanism a few times. An Xia was watching from the side and felt that it was too complicated.

After a few twists and turns, a door appeared on the eastern wall. The other side of the door was completely dark.

"Let's go." Mo Yuan looked at An Xia, "I will send someone to send you back to the General's Estate. I will just assume that you have never been to the General's Estate before."

An Xia froze, then turned around and looked at him. He understood even more clearly that the ensign's residence had a secret!
