Xiao Yu'er was still hanging onto her last shred of consciousness. When she saw Jiang Ming coming over, she said incoherently, "Box... My box..."
Jiang Ming did not understand a single word. He immediately used his spiritual energy to check her condition.
Someone had implanted a worm into Xiao Yu'er's body. The worm was extremely powerful and had been gnawing at Xiao Yu'er's bones like crazy.
Only then did Xiao Yu'er have a severe reaction.
Jiang Ming inserted the silver needle a little deeper and blocked the worm's path. When the worm had no way to escape, he directly used his spiritual energy to kill the worm with one hand.
Xiao Yu'er stopped foaming at the mouth and spat out the dead worm.
When the worm came out, Xiao Yu'er stopped foaming at the mouth and her entire body stopped trembling. She was completely different from before.
Seeing that Xiao Yu'er had returned to normal, Jiang Ming said considerately, "What did you just say? You can tell me now. I can answer any questions you have."
Jiang Ming's words warmed Xiao Yu'er, and her tears flowed out. "My good-for-nothing big brother came over and snatched the box with the bracelet you wanted."
"Where is the bracelet now?"
Jiang Ming remembered that he had not gone to the palace to get the things.
It was really easy to forget things recently.
"In the palace."
Xiao Yu'er took a deep breath. She originally wanted her brother to live a good life, but now that her brother had gone too far, she did not want him to live so comfortably.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu'er directly told him her brother's position. "My brother is a royal guard in the palace."
Hearing this, Jiang Ming was immediately relieved.
This was fine. The royal guards were easy to deal with.
"Wait here."
Jiang Ming rushed to the palace.
However, he did not know where the guards lived. He grabbed the arm of a servant and asked him everything about the guards.
The servant also told him everything he knew.
Jiang Ming noted down every word and then went to the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion where the guards were located according to the manservant's instructions.
In the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion, Zhu Dage, the guard, was drinking wine. He was completely drunk, and wine bottles were scattered all over the ground under his feet.
The surrounding servants and palace maids did not dare to breathe too loudly and waited on them from the side.
Zhu Dage could be considered a favorite of King Fengyu. In the past few years, under the king's favor, he had become even more reckless, and the smile on his lips had become even more arrogant.
Hearing that someone was coming to see him, Zhu Dage looked unhappy and threw the bottle in his hand to the side. "Who's that stupid? Can't he see that I'm drinking? Tell him that I won't see him!"
Jiang Ming, who was outside the door, heard the servant's report and immediately grinned.
Things had proven that some people did not deserve politeness at all.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming directly strode in.
The servant was frightened and quickly stopped Jiang Ming. "You really can't go in. If you go in, I'll be punished. I beg you to spare my life."
"If you stop me now, you will lose your life. If you pretend not to see, the royal guard will not be angry at you."
Jiang Ming carefully gave the servant a solution.
Upon hearing this, the servant suddenly hesitated. Jiang Ming immediately took advantage of his hesitation and walked past the servant to the side.
Seeing that Jiang Ming had already left, the servant had no choice but to shake his head and hide nearby.
Now, he could only listen to the lord in front of him. Otherwise, if the royal guards really blamed him, he would definitely be punished.
Hearing the footsteps of people coming in, Zhu Dage shouted, "Who is wandering around outside? Get your ass in here! Do you want to die?"
As he spoke, he threw another bottle of wine at the door.
When Jiang Ming opened the door, the bottle was flying toward him.
Jiang Ming caught it very steadily. When he saw the fragments on the ground, he probably understood something.
He directly threw the bottle over. Zhu Dage originally planned to continue throwing bottles, but he was hit by the bottle he had thrown previously. He had no choice but to stop throwing bottles.
Jiang Ming threw the bottle with no restraint. Zhu Dage covered his forehead and felt terrible.
Feeling some liquid flowing down from his palm, Zhu Dage put down his hand. When he saw the blood, he was instantly frightened and stammered, "Blood… Blood…!"
Seeing Zhu Dage's expression, Jiang Ming felt amused and shouted at Zhu Dage, "Zhu Dage, it's time to return the bracelet you stole from your sister."
Zhu Dage was now more than half drunk.
Seeing Jiang Ming being so arrogant, he was angry and glared at Jiang Ming. "Who are you? How dare you speak to a royal guard like this?"
"A mere royal guard dares to be so arrogant. Do you want me to call your king over to take a look at your behavior?"
Jiang Ming mocked him.
He felt that this royal guard really had to learn his lesson. He was too arrogant!
Zhu Dage became a little wary when he heard Jiang Ming talk about King Fengyu. He looked at Jiang Ming and asked, "You know King Fengyu?"
"We can be considered acquaintances," Jiang Ming said casually.
He did not intend to use this relationship as something to show off.
His words made Zhu Dage scoff. "I thought it was some big shot. In the end, you're just just a small fry. You want the box? No way! I'll kill you!"
Zhu Dage groaned and threw a few more wine bottles at Jiang Ming.
The wine bottles were thrown out of nowhere, but Jiang Ming caught them one by one. He also threw the wine bottles back.
Zhu Dage quickly dodged and released spiritual energy to counterattack.
However, these wine bottles seemed to be alive. They avoided Zhu Dage's counterattack and rushed straight at Zhu Dage.
Zhu Dage could not dodge and was hit by Jiang Ming.
This time, Jiang Ming hit Zhu Dage multiple times.
Zhu Dage hugged his hands and feet and jumped up. He did not even bother to sit on the stool.
He did not know what Jiang Ming had added to these wine bottles at all. It hurt so much that it felt like the pain had been drilled into his bones.
Jiang Ming looked at Zhu Dage's appearance and was very satisfied. He told Zhu Dage, "I advise you to hand over the box now. Don't let the pain paralyze you!"
