Concubine Ji was more grateful to Yan Muyi, but she felt a vague sense of familiarity. Like a friend she hasn't seen for many years, she can let her guard down.

The two chatted for a while about ordinary things. When Yan Mu remembered the assassination that day, he felt a lot confused and asked.

"Concubine Ji, do you know who wanted to assassinate you that day?"

Concubine Ji shook her head. She didn't know who she had offended.

Yan Mu whispered in Concubine Ji's ear.

"After you stabbed the guard that day, I walked out of the garden gate and saw Concubine Ying in the distance."

Concubine Ji's eyes widened in surprise.

"Isn't it Concubine Ying who wants to murder me? I don't think she has ever offended her or communicated with her?"

Yan Muyi knew Concubine Ying's temperament. Maybe she would really be jealous and hateful, and do excessive things that ordinary people could not guess.

She learned a little about Concubine Ji from Linglong and Qing'er. I heard that Concubine Ji has been deeply favored by the emperor since she entered the palace half a year ago. But Concubine Ji herself seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs and had no good relations with anyone in the palace.

If someone was killed because of the emperor's favor, then it would really be Concubine Ying. In this huge palace, only Concubine Ji and Concubine Ying are currently competing for favor.

If Concubine Ying gets rid of Concubine Ji, then she will be the only one in the harem covering the sky with one hand.

Yan Muyi really couldn't stand Concubine Ying's overbearing and cruel methods, which were extremely cruel for her own selfish purposes. She whispered to Concubine Ji quietly.

After hearing this, Concubine Ji smiled happily and nodded in agreement.

Although Concubine Ji entered the palace not long ago, no one expected that Concubine Ji actually belonged to the prince. The prince knew everything about Yan Muyi's rescue of Concubine Ji and the matters that Yan Muyi secretly discussed with Concubine Ji.

Qinxin Palace

In the Qinxin Palace, there is a dark room, and sitting in the dark room is a cold and beautiful man. The man stood with his back to Concubine Ji, his cold and arrogant temperament clearly revealed.

"Your Highness, this is what happened! You see..."

Concubine Ji respectfully reported in front of this man, not daring to reveal a hint of overreaching.

"I understand, just follow her plan. I will take action when necessary!"

She answered coldly, with no warmth in every word she spoke, but Concubine Ji still looked at the figure from behind with affectionate eyes.

"But, Your Highness...why are you so concerned about Yan Muyi's affairs?"

When the man heard Yan Muyi, he slowly turned around.

In front of him, the man in the secret room turned out to be Qin Mobai.

"You don't have to worry too much about this matter, just do as I say."

The bone-chilling tone of voice can make people's hair stand on end.

Concubine Ji looked at the man in front of her, feeling sad and resigned. One is his first friend in the palace, and the other is the person he likes.

She really had no choice. From Qin Mobai's eyes, she could see the concern for Yan Muyi. But no one knew about his deep love for Qin Mobai.

In Qin Mobai's eyes, she was like a chess piece. But she is willing to be a pawn because of love. When it comes to Yan Muyi, Qin Mobai's eyes reveal a human air, which is the warmth she longs for.

She couldn't love her, but Yan Muyi was loved without knowing anything.

After leaving the secret room, Concubine Ji shed tears of sadness. For half a year in the palace, no one knew about her relationship with Qin Mobai, not even the emperor or his personal maids.

Concubine Ji was Qin Mobai's snoop buried next to the emperor. She was also very good at sneaking into the position of favorite concubine. In order to complete Qin Mobai's tasks again and again, she risked her life.

At the critical moment, Qin Mobai will show up to save her. It made her feel that she was still important in his eyes and feel the faint warmth.

Deceiving himself, he also occupies an important position in Qin Mobai's life.

Two years ago, during a storm in the desert. Concubine Ji and her friends lost their way and were trapped in the deserted sand. No one rescued them for two days and two nights.

They had been without water or food for two days, and when they were exhausted, they encountered a sandstorm. Dragging a group of them into the desert no man's land.

When Concubine Ji woke up again, her friends were gone. She also thought she was about to be buried here.

The desert is extremely cold at night, and the temperature difference between it and the daytime is huge. Just as he was dying and his eyes were misty, a pair of slender hands stretched out.

Concubine Ji raised her head and saw the outline of a person in her hazy sight. She couldn't see the person's face clearly, and she didn't know if it was because she felt she had been saved that the last breath that kept her awake was extinguished. Fainted in the arms of the visitor.

When he woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw that he was already in a dilapidated house.

She touched her lips that were scratched by thirst and her face that was rubbed by the wind and sand. You don't even need a bronze mirror to know how miserable you are at this moment.

A delicate little princess in the desert, because of her willfulness, secretly went into the desert to explore and almost died first.

She thought about where her companions were now? Still, they all died in this desert.

Thinking of this makes me extremely sad. If it weren't for his own arrogance and wanton behavior, he wouldn't have lost so many lives. Her tears fell one drop at a time.

When she was in tears, the man came to the room.

"you're awake!"

When Concubine Ji was immersed in sadness and unable to extricate herself, she was frightened by the sudden voice.

She moved toward the wall warily, not knowing whether the man in front of her was friend or foe.

The man narrowed his eyes and laughed. He held his hands in front of his chest and looked at her with interest, squinting his peach blossom eyes.

"Have you forgotten who saved you? Have you forgotten how you got here?"

Hearing this, Concubine Ji's already big eyes opened like bells.

The man took two steps forward and looked at the girl who looked like a little beggar in front of him.

Concubine Ji was extremely weak at this time and no longer had the strength to protect herself in the past. I could only hug myself and hide against the wall, protect my body with both hands, and shout loudly.

"do not come!"

The man stopped and paused for a second.

"You can actually speak the Central Plains dialect!?"

This desert woman who can speak the Central Plains dialect is definitely an extraordinary person. He dropped his scrutinizing look and stopped approaching the frightened Concubine Ji.

Then he retreated to a safe distance and let out a voice without any warmth.

"I rescued you in the desert. You have been unconscious for three days and three nights. This is a point where we are stationed. You are safe here."

Concubine Ji put down her defensive expression, and the man continued.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Do you have any companions? When you get better, our motorcade can take you home."

Concubine Ji put down her guard and thanked the man.

"Thank you for saving me. I was separated from my companions in a sandstorm. I don't know where they are now."

"We searched for five miles near where we rescued you, but we found no trace of anyone or any human bones."

When Concubine Ji heard this, she lowered her head sadly, maybe her companions were already dead.

When the man saw the dejected Concubine Ji, he stopped mentioning anyone, left a few words, and left the room.

"Someone will come to change your clothes and bathe you later."

Concubine Ji stared with almond-shaped eyes in disbelief.

Not long after, a woman who looked like a maid came in to bathe and change her clothes.

Within half an hour, after soaking in the fragrant nephrite, he was no longer the sloppy little beggar. But she is a gorgeous woman with lotus hair.

The maids who bathed and changed her clothes were all amazed. They looked in disbelief that there could be such a stunning woman in the world.
