The sky suddenly turned as dark as night, and all the people on the street disappeared, leaving only the three of them.
"Yin energy!" Hua Qingkong formed hand seals, intending to protect Liu Huanxi first.
Yan Xiao then produced a seal, dispersing Hua Qingkong's seal, and said, "A mere Heavenly Master, what need do I have for your seal to protect myself!"
“Where did this ghost come from? What a big mouth! State your name!” Hua Qingkong felt that he had no ill intent towards Liu Hanzhi, so he focused solely on dealing with him.
“Ghost? Monster? You dare to ask?!” Yan Xiao extended his left hand, and a black long sword appeared in his hand, which he drew with his right hand.
Hua Qingkong sneered coldly and drew the peach wood sword from behind him.
Both of them held their swords with both hands and charged at each other, first breaking through the protective barrier of the opponent, then engaging in a contest of raw strength, genuinely fighting rather than relying on magical powers.
Although the two were of similar height and build, in terms of skill, Hua Qingkong should be inferior to the North Ji King of the Xunyun Kingdom, who came from a background of warfare in his previous life.
“Stop it!” Liu Hanxi shouted, “What’s wrong with you? Why fight for no reason?! Everyone, stop!”
Only then did the two of them look at her and cease their actions.
The sky returned to its original state after the two stood still.
“You two should just go do whatever you want!” Liu Hanxi rolled her eyes at both of them.
In this world there are humans, gods, ghosts, monsters, demons, and spirits, yet this person seems to belong to none of those categories. How strange! With all the dark energy yet using divine power, Hua Qingkong felt he couldn’t win and walked towards Liu Hanxi.
The man also charged towards Liu Huanxi, and both used their magical skills to see who would arrive first.
“Afraid that others don’t know you two can use magic, right?! I, Miss Liu Qi, have long been a well-known female monster in Tiandu. With you two around me, even if you tossed me into the Yellow River, I wouldn't be able to wash away the stain. I truly thank you both!” Liu Huanxi scolded again.
```html“I just want to ask what happened with the door; he threw the first punch.” Yan Xiao replied coldly.
“Who are you! His Majesty, the Crown Prince of the Mingze Kingdom, stooping to the level of a little Taoist in the streets! Where’s your royal demeanor! Your face! Don’t!” Liu Hanxi was very angry; she was already upset to see Hua Qingkong getting hit. She had looked into this person's identity and found out who he was.```
“You! Despicable!” Yan Xiao felt a bit irritated by her tone, but then he thought, why does she not sound like the Miss Liu Qi that people talk about, but rather like Qi Xiaoyue? Qi Xiaoyue is exactly this audacious! This is... remembering some things?
Hua Qingkong coldly snorted, "Just a little prince."
"You shut up too! Don't talk!" Liu Huanxi also scolded Hua Qingkong, then turned to Yan Xiao and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but today's host has some good news and will be closing the doors to guests."
“What joy?”
“An old friend has returned.” Liu Hanzhi patted Hua Qingkong's arm.
Before Yan Xiao could respond, she gave him a slight bow: “I was too harsh just now, which was inappropriate. Please don’t hold it against me, Prince Zhao. Farewell.” However, there was not much sincerity in her politeness.
She walked along the road towards the Wangfu, and Hua Qingkong followed her.
“He is not a human, he can't be the Zhao Wang,” Hua Qingkong said softly at her side.
“I know, someone tried to kill me last time, and he saved me, but he killed all those people, turning them to smoke with a wave of his sleeve. However, it seems he doesn’t have any malice towards me,” Liu Huanxi replied. So what if he wasn't human? Didn't she have plenty of non-human beings around her?
Hua Qingsky no longer said anything, just frowned.
When he reached the wall outside the Wangfu, a small figure returned and landed on his shoulder.
"I found a clue, I'm going to take a look." Hua Qingsky only said this, and when Liu Hanxi looked back, he was already gone.
Not long after she returned home, Bai Lie, Ji Ya, Mo Qi Lei, and Ran Xing Tu all returned one after another.
Bai Lie's group had no news as everyone had gone home.
Mo Qi Lei went with the butcher to report to the official in Tian Sheng City and then went back home.
Ji Ya and Ran Xingtu bumped into each other at the largest tavern in Tian Sheng City, "Jing Hong Ge." The people accompanying them quietly entered through the back door of "Jing Hong Ge."
A small paper doll floated over from somewhere, landing on Liu Hanxi's shoulder. It whispered something in her ear before burning itself up on the ground.
“One of the people from Master Hua's side has arrived in Tianqi City and met with the steward Old Dou from the Jinghong Pavilion.” Liu Hanxi conveyed the information sent by Hua Qingkong to everyone.
“It can be confirmed that it is him, but we cannot yet determine if he is the final mastermind.” Mo Qilei, being someone from the government, thought more deeply about it.
“He’s just a small tavern owner, with no background at all, daring to challenge me, the Prince of Yong?! There must be someone behind him!” Liu Huanxi slammed the table and said, “But why? I just can’t figure it out.”
Ran Xingtian is worried about tomorrow. Since someone has reported to the authorities, the government will definitely come to arrest people for questioning. Liu Hanxi and the others dare not take action, and Lou Fengzhi will surely have to leave after this incident.
Mo Qilei should return to inform their lord at the yamen, so they have an idea of what to expect and avoid any awkwardness tomorrow in front of the officials. Liu Hanxi thought that inviting Mo Qilei to participate in their fishing plan was a very wise decision made by Ran Xingtong.
Just when everyone was bustling and having dinner, a servant came to report that someone was asking for Madam Xi. Everyone asked who it was, and the servant stammered that it was from the Ministry of Justice.
Everyone knew it was because of this matter, but how did it end up at the Ministry of Justice?
Ran Xingtuh went to inquire about the situation, and his face turned pale upon hearing the news. The newcomer said that Lou Fengzhi had already been taken to the Ministry of Justice, and since everyone knew that the true owner of "Joy on the Eyebrow" was Liu Hanxi, they are now requesting her to go as well.
He is indeed polite.
Ran Xingtou pressed further, and the leader who came was quite clever, so he leaned close to Ran Xingtou's ear and said three words: "Someone died."
No wonder this matter quickly reached the Ministry of Justice.
Liu Hanxi was afraid of implicating Ran Xingtiao, so she took the initiative to come forward.
When they tried to take someone, Jing Niang disagreed and replied, "My lord is not in the residence. You want to take our lady in the middle of the night; this is quite improper, isn’t it? We should at least wait until dawn. Even if someone is dead, it was not my lady who killed them—at most, she should just be questioned. Why must this be handled in the middle of the night? It doesn’t adhere to proper protocol. You should first go to the palace to request a decree before coming to take her."
The officials from the Criminal Department had nothing to say, quickly stating, "This is also an order from above; please don't make it difficult for me." As they spoke, their eyes turned towards Liu Hanzhi.
Liu Hanzhi understood now; the target was not "Joy on the Brow" but rather her. They were now trying to frame her for poisoning someone.
“Alright, I'll go with you, but please allow me to change into a dress; I cannot lose the face of the royal residence,” Liu Hanxi said.
Liu Hanxi returned to the inner courtyard and, while changing her clothes, asked Ran Xingtou to go to the palace and inform Noble Consort Hui to come and rescue them. She also instructed him to look for news in the official circles to see who is rising the highest, as it can now be determined that the target is either her or Prince Yan.
She changed into a different outfit that lifted her spirits and had Jing Niang carefully style her hair before accompanying the magistrate's men to the prison.
Day by day, after just a couple of days, she had even been to the prison; she really had tasted the hardships of the human world!
Hua Qingkong and Hua Yuanshan were on a nearby rooftop, watching as Liu Hanxi was taken away by the Ministry of Justice. Hua Qingkong was just about to notify her that of the ten people sent by the "Jinghong Pavilion," two had died for no apparent reason after returning home, fearing that there was something even bigger at play that she needed to be cautious of. To his surprise, he arrived just in time to see her being taken away.
“This lady is certainly not an ordinary woman! Not only is she unafraid, but she even changed her clothes,” Hua Yuanshan laughed.
“If she were to stay properly in the Wang family as a wife, such things wouldn’t happen! She probably doesn't even know what the Ministry of Justice is,” Hua Qingkong said, his frown never easing whenever he saw her, and his head was throbbing with pain.
"Yin energy!" Hua Qingkong formed hand seals, intending to protect Liu Huanxi first.
Yan Xiao then produced a seal, dispersing Hua Qingkong's seal, and said, "A mere Heavenly Master, what need do I have for your seal to protect myself!"
“Where did this ghost come from? What a big mouth! State your name!” Hua Qingkong felt that he had no ill intent towards Liu Hanzhi, so he focused solely on dealing with him.
