As they expected, the two men who lived in the woman's house became suspicious when they saw that the couple did not return home that night.

As the night darkened, the two checked several rooms in the yard, but there was no sign of the couple.

"I just said that the young couple in the daytime didn't look simple." The tall man thumped the table annoyed, "Let's get out as soon as possible, stay here, and sooner or later we will be taken over by the pot."

"Don't forget, the master told us that we are not allowed to leave until the city gate is open, and now we are leaving in case we are discovered."

"We have been discovered." The tall man interrupted him sharply.

"Let's go at this time, what about those people?" The other man's face was gloomy. To be honest, his companion's worries were justified.

"Grab the little one, and worry about the big one not being honest and follow."

"Of course we can go, but where are we going?"

The man asks the most fundamental question.

"I know a place, you take the person first, I'll go out and have a look." The man pushed open the door, looked around vigilantly, and then flew onto the eaves.

Seeing the man appearing suddenly, Jing Yi immediately sent a signal to the hidden guards under him, and everyone hid one after another.

Under the cover of night, the man didn't see anyone.

Perhaps out of instinct, I always feel that something is wrong.

He looked at the willow tree with its branches hanging down almost to the ground by the yard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked over lightly.

When he got closer, he put both hands on the hilt of the sword.

Jing Yi held his breath, closed his eyes, and touched the dagger hidden under his sleeve with his fingertips.

The man stopped when he was two steps away from the willow tree, bent down and picked up a piece of silver that was reflected by the moon on the ground.

When he got up and approached again, there was already nothing under the willow tree.

The man felt relieved when he saw this, he held Sui Yin tightly in his arms, and went in to call for his companions.

Standing with both feet among the treetops, Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man enter the house.

He made a gesture, and the hidden guards around him quickly gathered together.

……

In the middle of the night, the imperial city was quiet, and the lights in Ji Wuhen's mansion were still on.

Yao Xinyu quietly entered through the back door of the mansion, but the two maidservants who were supposed to guard here disappeared at this moment.

Under the dim moonlight, she saw a hideous woman standing there beside the flowers.

"Xiao He?"

Yao Xinyu recognized the other party.

"Prince Concubine." Lan Zhihe saluted Yao Xinyu earnestly. Under the moonlight, her face was covered with scars.

Her voice was somewhat cold: "Your Highness said that he is waiting for you in the study."

wait for her?

Surprised, Yao Xinyu took off the cloak on her body and threw it on Lan Zhihe when she passed her.

"Understood, you go down."

"Yes."

Lan Zhihe lowered her eyes, pinched her fingertips on the excellent fabric coat, slowly raised her head, the graceful figure of the woman was reflected in her dark pupils, and her lips suddenly curled up.

After entering the study, the young man Yao Xinyu sat in front of the table with a letter on it.

There were not many words in the letter, only two lines, and she recognized the origin of the letter at a glance.

It was the letter the other party replied when she told her subordinates to do things, why is it here?

Her heart sank slightly, without revealing anything on her face, she walked forward with a smile: "It's already this hour, why is Your Highness still waiting for me, it's time to go to bed."

Ji Wuhen smiled, his voice was cold in the dark night, he looked at his sweetheart's beautiful face as always, but at this moment he was strange like never before.

"Yu'er, why did you do this, he is my uncle."

No matter how many faults there are, they are related to him by blood, not to mention that his uncle never cared about his cousin before.

If he hadn't read this letter, Ji Wuhen couldn't believe it. On the surface, he was discussing with himself how to help Lan Ping suppress the matter, but secretly sent someone to spread the matter.

Yao Xinyu bent her lips, not as flustered as Ji Wuhen imagined to be exposed, but instead said: "Your Highness, it is precisely because he is your uncle that I did this."

"This is the first time, do you still need me to comment on your Highness one by one? How many messes have you solved for Lan Ping, and in the end you manipulated him to the limit? If you continue, Your Highness, your great cause, our plan, It’s all in vain, is your highness going to give up your plans for more than ten years for such a person?"

She was not in a hurry or slow in every word and sentence, and even her voice was extremely light.

When Ji Wuhen heard it, a moment of astonishment flashed across his face, and he was speechless for a long time.

Yao Xinyu picked up the letterhead on the table, raised the young man's chin with his fingertips, and his smiling eyes fell to cover the flashing cold light: "Your Highness, I did this wrong, but I did it for His Highness's sake." good."

Ji Wuhen pursed her lips, and what Concubine Wan said two days ago now surfaced.

"Yao Xinyu is an ambitious woman. Now she only wants to be a queen. After seeing the real power, can she really be willing to nest in the harem and compete with a group of women for jealousy?"

He trembled all over and stepped back. The fragrance from the woman's body flowed into his nostrils, and it smelled good as always.

His heart was cold.

The woman in front of him was well loved by him, but he couldn't bear her to surpass him and send his blood relatives to a place where there would be no redemption.

"If it's for my own good, then please Xiangye think of a way to rescue uncle."

He still couldn't bear to scold her, as long as she took a step back, he would also take a step back.

"Is Your Highness blaming me?" Yao Xinyu sensed his cold treatment.

Ji Wuhen struggled for a moment, and said, "Yu'er, I can't help it, this is my real uncle."

Yao Xinyu was silent, held up the young man's face, and finally asked: "Your Highness, do you really want to save Lanping, even if I try to persuade you in every possible way?"

What she said was so serious that Ji Wuhen even felt something unusual.

He frowned, trying to grasp the fleeting thought, but in vain.

After a while, the youth's firm voice sounded: "Save."

The smile on Yao Xinyu's lips faded a lot, she lowered her head, and kissed the young man's cheek.

"Since that's the case, then let your Highness do it."

Ji Wuhen was taken aback: "You won't stop me?"

"Of course not." She smiled: "However, I won't help you either."

"Yu'er, are you angry?" Ji Wuhen held his forehead.

"That's not the case. I can understand His Highness's reluctance to bear blood relatives, but forgive me for not agreeing. Moreover, my father would not be willing to help with this, so Your Highness, please plan it yourself."

She got up slowly, threw the letter on the table, straightened her dress, turned and left.

Ji Wuhen's chest suddenly emptied, panicked for no reason, and reached out to grab the opponent's arm.

In the end, he could barely touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.

"Yu'er." He said helplessly.

But the woman didn't respond to her, she closed the door of the study, and left without a trace of nostalgia.

"How could this be?" Ji Wuhen shook his head, annoyed.
