Han Liangan dodged and rushed inside, but Ming Han wanted to stop him when he saw it.

When the two sides met again, a lazy voice came from inside.

"Qingju, why is it so noisy that it prevents people from sleeping?"

Everyone was stunned on the spot, and even Han Liangan didn't react.

Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Qing Jue.

"Why don't you serve your master?"

Qingju came to his senses and hurriedly ran up the steps.

Ming Han shook his head at the secret guard, and Qing Jue opened the door smoothly.

The door was opened with a large gap. Although people outside could not see everything inside clearly, they could vaguely see a slender figure on the bed.

Qingjue walked in and closed the door.

After a while, the door was opened again, and two figures walked out one after another.

Si Ning was wearing a pale pink dress, her hair was spread in front of her body, she didn't apply any makeup on her face, her sleepy eyes were puffy, she must have just woken up.

Qingjue followed her, lowering his head cautiously, obviously frightened.

When Si Ning met everyone's gaze, he was also startled. He looked at Mrs. Lu at a loss and asked.

"Mother, what happened?"

Mrs. Lu listened and explained awkwardly.

"The third prince said that an assassin had sneaked into the house and wanted to search..."

"assassin?"

Si Ning looked panicked and looked at the open door behind him.

"Is it true? But after my husband and I went to bed, we haven't heard any sound. Third Prince, is there really an assassin?"

She focused her gaze on Han Liangan, with a look of panic on her face.

This was the first time Han Liangan met Si Ning. He was not in the capital when Lu Hanxiao got married.

Later I heard that this bride was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Now seeing Si Ning's trembling appearance, I believed her a little bit.

He nodded and Si Ning said.

"Since there is an assassin, let's search him quickly. If the assassin hurts the general, it will be bad."

Si Ning generously invited the people in. Although Han Liangan was suspicious, he still waved his hand towards his men.

Several Imperial Guardsmen rushed into the room and searched the room from top to bottom.

But except for Lu Hanxiao who was lying down, no one was seen. He had no choice but to retreat and return to Han Liangan.

"Third Prince, there is no one."

"no one?"

He saw it with his own eyes, how could there be no one?

Did he run away?

But Ning'an Hou Mansion has long been surrounded by his people, let alone one person, not even a fly can fly out.

"Search again!"

He didn't believe that this man could still get wings and fly!

After waiting for another half an hour, the men came back to resume their duties, but the result was still the same.

The room was searched several times, and the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion was searched, but no suspicious person was found.

Han Liangan frowned, suspicion flashing in his eyes.

If the thief was not in this room, why didn't Ming Han let them in? What else were they covering up?

He didn't want to go against Lu Hanxiao. After all, there was really no good in troubling a dying person.

However, all the investigations that have been uncovered in the past few days point to the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

It was true that Lu Hanxiao was unconscious, but what about his subordinates?

If they didn't notice something, it was possible to make some small moves in private.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Minghan and the others.

"Although no one was found, I saw with my own eyes that the thief escaped into the Ning'an Marquis Mansion. You guys can't escape suspicion!"

"Mingqiu, take the person away, I want to go back and interrogate him properly!"

"Wait a minute..."

When Han Liangan's men were about to step forward, Si Ning stood up.

Han Liangan slowly looked at her and asked disdainfully.

"Third Young Madam, what advice do you have?"

"I don't dare to give you advice. It's just that Minghan and the others are close to my husband. Isn't it bad that you just kidnapped them?"

"My husband is unconscious. I really don't know where I offended the third prince."

Han Liang'an didn't expect Si Ning to say such a thing, which obviously meant that he, Han Liang'an, was avenging his personal revenge.

Aren't you timid and afraid of getting into trouble? Now you are quite brave.

Han Liangan glanced at Si Ning coldly, but had no intention of paying attention to her. He winked at his men and told them to continue arresting people.

As a result, as soon as his subordinate stretched out his hand, Si Ning blocked him in front. Before he could retract his action, his hand directly touched Si Ning's arm, and the next moment... something shocking happened to everyone!

Si Ning flew a few meters away and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

This scene caught everyone present off guard. The guard who reached out and "hit" Si Ning was also stunned.

He even forgot to take back his hand, and just maintained the previous posture, looking at Si Ning as if he was stupid.

Si Ning clutched his chest and tears fell down.

Minghan hurriedly ran over, and Qingjue also hurriedly supported Si Ning.

"Miss, how are you?"

Si Ning shook her off and raised his eyes to look at Han Liangan, showing stubbornness despite his grievance.

"Third Prince, you broke into our Ning'an Marquis Mansion indiscriminately at night, and involuntarily accused us of harboring an assassin. It is true that my husband is unconscious, but he is guarding the border. He has no merit and still suffers. Lao, if the emperor knew that you framed a loyal minister like this, I don’t know how he would feel!”

"Are you using Father to oppress me too?"

Han Liangan reacted and was furious.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is absolutely no way that Si Ning could have been injured in that moment. This was definitely a frame-up.

But he was really pushed out by his men in front of everyone and even vomited blood. This is not a lie!

This kind of thing can't be explained clearly. If it really comes to the emperor, he won't be able to take advantage of it at all.

Seeing his angry look, Si Ning sneered inwardly.

Hitting the snake seven inches, the third prince's destiny is actually very easy to find.

"Si Ning doesn't dare!"

He said he didn't dare, but there was no look of fear on his face.

If Han Liangan dares to arrest Ming Han and the others today, she will dare to go to the emperor.

The worst case scenario is that the fish is dead and the net is broken, and no one can think about it.

After all, Han Liangan was afraid. He didn't want to make his father unhappy because of the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

Lu Zhiyuan saw that things had developed to this point and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Third Prince, my brother and sister are not in good health. Why don't you go back first? If I find anyone suspicious, I will definitely inform you."

Han Liangan didn't want to leave, but he had no choice but to do so.

He was aggrieved that he hadn't caught the man, and before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Si Ning fiercely.

Si Ning didn't care, and continued to pretend to be weak while covering his chest.

The courtyard that was originally packed with people became a lot deserted because Han Liangan and the others left.

Lu Zhiyuan stepped forward to support the old lady, looked at Si Ning thoughtfully, and said.

"Mother, you are tired too, go back and rest."

The old lady nodded, her fatigue visible to the naked eye.

She is old and can't bear such trouble.

He waved his hand, without even looking at the others or asking how Si Ning was injured, and returned to his yard with Lu Zhiyuan's help.

As soon as everyone left, Si Ning slowly stood up from the ground.

"Miss……"

Qing Jue still wanted to step forward, but Si Ning dismissed him coldly.

"You go down and rest first."

"But, your injury..."

"It's out of the way."

Seeing that Si Ning seemed to have something to say to Ming Han and the others, Qing Jue wanted to stay and find out.

But after meeting Ming Han's terrifying gaze, he could only retreat.

There were finally no outsiders in the yard, and Ming Han and others knelt down together.

"Thank you madam for your life-saving grace. You owe me your life, and you will not hesitate to go through the mountains of swords and seas of fire in the future."

Si Ning waved his hand and motioned for them to get up.

"Let's go see Lu Hanxiao first."
