All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

"...You said I didn't believe you, how could you ever believe me?"

Qu Baiyu said after a moment of silence.

"I thought you really lost your memory and forgot everything...that's why you wanted to leave.

But now I realize that all this is just your plan! And I'm just part of your plan..."

A few low laughs rolled out of his throat. It was only after meeting Yuan Tong'er in Youting that he understood why Yuan Tong'er appeared in the Li family escort agency.

because of him.

With so many plans, she must have known about his current situation and must have known that such a thankless case would definitely fall into his hands.

She relied on her friendship with him when they were young to make sure that he would not leave her alone.

"It's just...since you used me as a springboard, why did you run away?

Do you want to receive orders from the Ghost Lord?

All the pursuits, bounties, and marriages are all for the sake of taking over the Ghost Lord's order in an upright manner, right? The ghost market lord. "

He called out those three words one by one.

Yuantong'er was silent.

After being taken away by Shi Wuqi, she knew that Liu Jiaojiao was the real owner of the ghost market.

And all of this is Liu Jiaojiao's big gamble.

Liu Jiaojiao was betting on her own life, so she must have calculated all the things that might happen.

She had calculated that she would fall into Qu Baiyu's hands, and she had also calculated how to hold the power of her ghost market owner in her hands with her new identity!

Yuan Tong'er originally thought that Liu Jiaojiao was just a crazy sick girl. But when she knew how well she had arranged things, she suddenly felt that Liu Jiaojiao also wanted to live.

After all, she was only seventeen years old, in her prime, and she also had a nostalgia for this world.

She also thought about leaving some escape routes for herself within her ability.

Qu Baiyu sneered again, "What a golden cicada escaped from its shell... Pretending to be rewarded, forced to get married, and openly taking over the Ghost Lord's order... Speaking out is forced."

He took half a step closer to Yuan Tong'er, his brows were tightly knitted, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be full of regret, circling Yuan Tong'er's heart inch by inch.

"In your heart, who am I?"

The indifferent eyes in the past are now empty and desolate, and the tall figure also looks lonely and fragile.

His slumped figure enveloped Yuan Tong'er, like an invisible net that tightened her heart until it ached faintly.

Yuan Tong'er clenched her fingers. Qu Baiyu was asking about Liu Jiaojiao.

What would she take for him? Even though she became the owner of the ghost market, she still wore the Nuo mask he gave her to show off to others. So, are they just childhood playmates?

How could someone as smart as Liu Jiaojiao, who had been hiding in the dark for ten years, miss this one thing that might reveal her identity...

Yuan Tong'er felt even more sour in her heart. She couldn't tell whether it was her consciousness or the body's instinctive reaction. She just lowered her head and endured the sadness.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qu Baiyu only smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, I won't tell them... just feel free to be your princess!"

After he said this, he turned around and disappeared into the palace passage, leaving Yuantong'er alone in the cold palace passage.

The wind was bleak and low, rising slightly from the palace road. The sound of feet stepping on dead branches shocked Yuan Tong'er, "Who is it?"

The hem of a plain-colored dress in the corner was blown open by the wind, like a blooming gardenia.

"I just heard someone talking, and I was wondering who it was, but I didn't expect it to be you."

While the man was talking, he walked up to Yuan Tong'er, with a smile on his fair and transparent face. It was Yuan Wu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

His voice was as clear and calm as ever, like a clear spring flowing slowly in March.

"Long time no see, how are you doing, sir?"

Yuan Tong'er hesitated slightly and hummed. "At this hour, there shouldn't be any need to say hello, right? Why is the Fourth Highness still here?"

She wanted to ask him if he heard something, but she swallowed the words as they reached her lips. If he hadn't heard anything, she would have said "there is no money here" when she asked.

Yuan Wu's eyes held a calm smile, always as light as ever.

"I heard that a new sister came to the palace, named Yuan Tong'er. I thought her name sounded like yours, so I wanted to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was really you."

Yuan Tong'er smiled and said, "I didn't expect that His Highness the Fourth Prince would be so well-informed."

Yuan Wu slightly raised the corners of his lips without commenting.

Yuan Tong'er paused for a moment and continued to test.

"I thought I was the only one who loved to listen to gossip and watch the excitement. I didn't expect that a figure like His Highness the Fourth Prince would be so impatient? Since you're here, why didn't you call me?"

Yuan Wu still had a warm smile on his face, as if he didn't understand Yuan Tong'er's temptation at all, and said lightly: "I just arrived, and you discovered me."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, and the fragrance of gardenia instantly filled Yuan Tong'er's surroundings, with a refreshing fragrance. Shocked, she turned sideways.

The raised hand paused, and Yuan Wu's smiling eyes dimmed a bit.

After just a moment, the hand that paused slowly fell down again, landed on Yuan Tong'er's shoulder, and swept it gently.

"I am a down-and-out prince. I am humble and talkative. I can't even see my father. It's just a mistake. How can I be well-informed?"

His words were all self-deprecating. With a shallow sigh, something seemed to be pulled out of his body, and his whole person felt a bit broken, as if he would fall if the wind blew. .

Yuan Tong'er opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain her reaction, so she simply stopped talking.

There was a hint of sadness in Yuan Wu Rushui's eyes, and his words were a bit colder.

"I thought you would treat me as a close friend like me... It seems that I am too affectionate.

Yes, you have now become a noble princess in the imperial city. Although you are blood related to me, in the end your mother-in-law is better than mine..."

Although his words were soft, they were like a knife cutting flesh. Yuan Tong'er felt a little awkward because of what he said, and she felt a little guilty.

"I did not mean that……"

Yuan Wu chuckled lightly and said lightly: "That's it, I'm used to it."

"Your Highness."

Yuan Tong'er wanted to say something more, but was suddenly stopped by a little chamberlain.

"Pass the imperial concubine's instructions, please come over, Your Highness."

……

Pixiang Hall.

When Concubine Ning arrived, she could only hear the sound of smashing in the bedroom. She frowned and pushed the door open.

"You are so arrogant, do you want people to tell everything you did today to your father's ears?!"

When the eldest princess Yuan Guoer, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, saw Concubine Ning coming, she pursed her lips and felt very aggrieved. She ran to Concubine Ning with tears in her eyes.

“It should reach his ears!

I am the eldest princess, and I have not even gone on a parade to the capital. Now here comes someone who doesn't know the face of a dog-headed person. Not only does he directly canonize the princess, but he also allows her to be worshiped by all the people!

Father said he loves me and loves me the most. Is this how he loves me? ! "

"What are you yelling about?!"

Concubine Ning shouted.

"Although you are the eldest princess, you are not the legitimate princess! Although she is not the legitimate princess, she was born with auspiciousness!

If you want to blame me, just blame yourself for not having a good time to give birth to her, and even more unlucky that she wasn't lucky enough to be born into the queen's belly! "

Yuan Guoer gritted his teeth, still unconvinced, "But my father has clearly said that I am his most beloved child! He said, 'If Guoer were a man, he would be hundreds of times stronger than all his brothers. '!"

Concubine Ning was speechless, only caressing her back gently.

Yuan Guoer is indeed stronger than all the princes, even hundreds of times stronger than her brother, the fifth prince Yuan Hong! If Yuan Guoer were a boy, there would be nothing wrong with Prince Yuan Ruo.

It's just a pity that a princess is a princess, no matter how strong she is, she can only be a princess.
