His words were a precautionary measure, but it was spoken loudly enough to let people know that if the guests were not to be seen at that time, it was because the patient was sick and it was not for any other reason.

Hearing that, Lu Ming immediately replied: "Since the secondary wife's health is not good, then I must go and take a look. You also know that our wangfei is your wangfei's older sister. "

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xi Mengyao.

Xi Mengyao didn't care though. This kind of nonsense, she could just say it out loud, and she wouldn't lose a single piece of flesh.

"Although she was not born from the same mother, they still had such a friendship after all these years. If she knew that her own sister was sick and that I could pass through the gates without getting involved, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay in the prince's mansion." Lu Ming said softly, and glanced at Xi Mengyao once more.

She just shrugged.

However, when the guard heard these words, he wished he could slap himself until his face swelled up.

Why did he mention it!? If this person were to use this as an excuse and see with his own eyes the situation with the secondary wife, then he …

Helpless, he didn't dare to say anything else and could only laugh twice and pretend to deal with it.

When he went over, he saw that the person holding the servant girl was still at the entrance.

He was shocked, and quickly ordered his men to bring the servant away, while he himself went back to inform the butler, informing Lu Ming that he had come to pay his respects.

Not waiting for him to take a step, Xi Mengyao suddenly stood forward, raised his hand and said: "Hold it!"

As she spoke, she stood up with her hands behind her back and slowly circled around them, "Speaking of which, I saw something interesting here."

He walked out by himself. The crowd took a look and saw that they didn't recognize this person. They didn't know where he came from and were just about to curse him out.

Lu Ming, who was at the side, laughed out loud and said: "Why are you here?"

Xi Mengyao laughed, and cupped her hands: "Brother Lu's eyes are cloudy, I have been following you from the back a long time ago. Just now, I only saw how the servants in the Third Prince Palace were beating and scolding the passersby, so I only watched from the side, not wanting to show myself. Now that you are here, I had no choice but to step forward. "

As she spoke, she looked at the guard and said, "I just want to ask, what did that girl do wrong? Isn't it against the law for you to scold and scold her in the streets?"

Song Qing clearly remembered from his rule of law that even though the maids and servants were people who had their bodies sold, it was not proper for them to casually beat them up. Therefore, unless there is a justifiable reason, the law says that unless there is a cause, it is a punishment to injure the dead.

"I saw it just now. These people are not light." Xi Mengyao said leisurely, but her tone carried a faint sense of warning.

"Oh, is there such a thing?"

Hearing that, Lu Ming pretended not to know and asked loudly in surprise.

When the guards heard this, they gritted their teeth and wished that they only had one mouth to speak. Otherwise, it would be good for them to faint from talking all at once.

At this moment, not to mention making them faint, just thinking about facing them would cause him to faint.

Xi Mengyao did not have any intentions of understanding them. After standing out, he clasped her hands behind her back and walked in a circle in front of the two.

He then shook his head and mysteriously said, "Just now, I was drinking in this tavern. I heard that someone was practicing some Western witchcraft in the tavern. Furthermore, this person is a maid from Prince Jing Palace. "

"Oh?" Lu Ming said in a timely manner, "My luck is really not bad."

"That's right, but I don't really understand. You want someone from the palace to be unkind to the people from the Third Prince and bribe this Magus from the Western Regions to come here and do something …" And you believe it? "

Xi Mengyao said as if she was pointing something.

The guard broke out in a cold sweat after hearing it, gritted his teeth as he looked at Xi Mengyao.

Xi Mengyao made a move and immediately said: "Seems like you all have only heard about it from others, there is no evidence. At that time, it would not be good to be innocent. That's right. Since Brother Lu is already serving in Prince Jing Palace, then I believe that you should at least recognize the maids there? "

Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled and nodded his head. He turned to look at the guard and asked curiously: "There's actually such a thing?"

As he spoke, he sighed again, "Why didn't you say anything just now? Could it be that you are afraid that I will protect you and bring the girls of our mansion back? "You don't need to. Recently, the maids in the palace have become more and more disobedient. The prince is thinking of changing a new batch to properly clean out those who don't know anything."

"This …" The guard wanted to interrupt when he saw this.

However, Lu Ming didn't give him the chance: "Now that there's such a thing, I want to see who is brave enough to actually do such a dirty thing. After finding out, I'll go back and report it to the Duke.

"After all, this is a matter of our prince's mansion. Mister Lu, you …"

"What you said is not right. The servant girl did the wrong thing, she can just drag him out and beat him to death after she finds out the truth." Hurry the decision, wouldn't it also be the perfect time for the peace and quiet in Third Prince Palace? " Lu Ming smiled, but it blocked off the way out.

When the head guard heard this, his face turned pale. However, the guards behind him didn't seem to understand and kept poking him in the eye: "Hey, what's there to be afraid of? Take someone and let him recognize you."

"That's right, he can't possibly lie right now!"

They all looked at the head guard, but the head guard just coughed and completely ignored them, only stuttering: "That maid, just now said that she is from the Prince Jing Palace, we did not ask for confirmation, just … Just as he was thinking of bringing them down to ask, if he was wrong … As slaves, we cannot afford it. "

"Oh?" Xi Mengyao said from the side in a neither light nor heavy tone.

The head guard gritted his teeth. "We are all servants, we should still be careful. "You should at least give us some face …"

"If you are afraid of admitting your wrongs, then you must pull it out. Just point it out in front of her so that she can properly wipe off her face. Everyone on the streets is watching us, so we can clearly distinguish right from wrong. " Lu Ming walked up.

"I've heard that your highness isn't someone who likes to explain. If I'm wrong, I will never cause trouble for you, but you guys …" Sigh, you can't possibly investigate in private, capture the wrong person, and then hide this matter. At that time, other people will only say that you have captured a servant from Prince Jing Palace, and you won't know that this matter is fake.

If Xi Mengyao had mentioned this period, then those who were listening would be completely confused. But those who were listening to it already had cold sweat trickling down their backs.

The head guard's face became even paler upon hearing Xi Mengyao's words, and killing intent burst out of his eyes. He wished that he could tear Xi Mengyao into ten thousand pieces.
