Evil Crown Prince’s Stunning Wife - C387

“You!”

Xiahou Ling never thought that Xiahou Lian, who always wore a gentle and refined mask, would actually hit back at him at this time, causing him to have a whole new level of respect for him.

However, the weak were still the weak. They would only wear masks all the time to maintain their reputation. Was it that interesting?

“Third royal brother, I didn’t expect you to speak so well.”

One of his legs bent forward as he leaned on Xiahou Lian’s leg, and in a very natural and relaxed manner, he said, “However, when did you hear that I don’t want to save Ninth Brother anymore?”

“On the other hand, you want to find a doctor here to treat Ol ‘Nine. First of all, can you guarantee that the doctor won’t harm Ol’ Nine?”

After saying that, Xiahou Ling changed his sitting posture and crooked his finger at the servant girl beside him. After that, the maid walked over, and leaned on her leg, and continued speaking to Xiahou Lian: “I guess you have your eyes on the Dr. Huo who had obtained the position of chief multiple times?”

“Let me tell you directly, I have already sent people to investigate this Doctor Huo Zhongxi. Other than finding out that he is from Jiangnan, there is nothing else.”

“Tell me, will you still use someone like that? And you even dare to give it to Ninth Brother? ”

After saying this, Xiahou Ling no longer cared about Xiahou Lian’s reaction. He withdrew his gaze and continued to leisurely drink his wine, occasionally raising his head to glance at Liu Xinyue.

Xia Hou Ling and the others had purposely told Xiahou Lian about the investigation on Liu Xinyue, but he did not say one thing, and that was that although Liu Xinyue’s background was mysterious and could not be investigated, he knew that had treated Second Miss Prime Minister’s Estate and more than half of it had already been cured.

Now, adding on to the various actions that Huo Zhongxi had performed at the Medical Appraisal Assembly, Xiahou Ling was already certain that this person had strength and not just boasted about it.

However, this person’s background and background was a little unknown, so it was a little troublesome. Otherwise, Huo Zhongxi could really find Ol ‘Nine and have a try.

After all, being able to save Ninth Brother was the best. If he couldn’t, then he would just have to deal with him.

As for the current Xiahou Lian, the smile on his face looked neither like a smile nor a smile, it could be said that it was a bit ugly.

It could be said that his thoughts had been directly exposed by Xiahou Ling, and he did not expect the other party to have investigated Huo Zhongxi’s background before him.

But… Forget about the others for the time being, just based on the investigation results Xiahou Ling said about Huo Zhongxi just now, it made Xiahou Lian a little distressed.

This was because Xiahou Ling was extremely skilled in investigating intelligence, so if it was really as Xiahou Ling had said, then Huo Zhongxi could not use him as he wished.

“Prince, don’t believe everything the Second Prince says.”

Seeing Xiahou Lian’s anxious appearance, his personal guard whispered in his ear.

They had to be careful of the Second Marquis, Xiahou Ling.

“You’re right, I was a little lucky just now.”

Xiahou Lian awoke from his stupor when his personal bodyguard reminded him. He should have been under the control of Xiahou Ling just now, and with his words, he was able to hide inside the ox’s horn.

“How about this, you arrange for someone to investigate this Huo Zhongxi.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

When the guard heard this, he immediately nodded his head in agreement. Then, he glanced at Xiahou Ling and saw that he was not paying attention to them. He immediately called for a maid and spoke a few words with her before quickly disappearing into the crowd.

“I didn’t expect everyone to have so many thoughts.”

The shopkeeper saw that the entire banquet hall had become noisy because of his guess about the huge basket. Hence, he quickly spoke up.

“However, seeing that everyone is extremely curious about our large basket, I will not keep you all in suspense. I will directly announce the answer to everyone.”

Hearing that the shopkeeper wanted to announce what was inside the huge basket, the people who were still discussing quickly quietened down. They all looked at the shopkeeper, waiting for him to speak.

“Someone, open this basket.”

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper didn’t choose to reveal what was inside the huge basket directly. Instead, he called for the attendant to open the huge basket.

When everyone heard that such a huge basket could still be opened, they were all astonished.

The attendant came to the side of the huge basket and quickly came to a spot where he gently pulled on it with his hand. Very soon, a portion of the huge basket was pulled out, just like a door.

Soon after, the door opened, and everyone saw the item in the basket.

“I don’t think there’s a need to say anything more, right?”

After the shopkeeper saw the crowd’s reaction, he smiled and said, “That’s right. Actually, many people had already guessed that the thing in this basket is a medicinal ingredient!”

“Therefore, the content of the fourth round is related to these medicinal ingredients.”

After Liu Xinyue heard the shopkeeper’s words, he looked at the herbs in the huge basket.

These were all dried medicinal herbs and had not gone through any processing. Presumably, they were all brought over from the medicine room.

Then the question arose. What would be the competition related to these medicinal herbs?

He had already identified the medicinal herbs and written down the medicinal herbs beforehand, so what else could he do with them now?

“Shopkeeper, hurry up and tell us, don’t keep us in suspense. It’s really worrisome!”

Everyone finally understood that the shopkeeper’s words needed to be said quickly. In fact, it was still the same. He liked to keep people in suspense!

If you have the ability, just say it out!

“Alright, alright, alright. I know that everyone is anxious, so I’ll tell you right away.”

When the shopkeeper saw this, he hurriedly nodded his head and agreed. He then immediately said, “The fourth round of the competition is actually to find the medicinal ingredients for the antidote formula needed in the third round of the competition.”

“You may think it’s simple, but you’ll have to be clear with your doctors.”

Pausing for a moment, the shopkeeper continued, “That is, among these medicinal ingredients, there is only one related to the antidote formula.”

“In other words, if someone found the formula for Hei Ye’s antidote, then no one else would be able to find it.”

“Let’s do this and so forth until all the ingredients for the three antidotes are found. Then we’ll end the competition.”
