The third prince seemed very sure about what Liu Moyan would choose.

This is indeed the case. A fire-making maid with a suspicious identity and a blood-related sister, even if they have a rift in their relationship, who would give up their own family for a maid?

Even if we take a step back and say that Liu Moyan can ignore Liu Qingwan, can she also not care about Minister Liu?

That was her biological father, the pillar of the Liu family. Even if this father had given up on her in her previous life, at this moment, Liu Moyan knew that for the sake of the family, she had to rescue her father.

Without Minister Liu, she would no longer be the daughter of a fourth-rank official. At that time, there would be even more people who wanted to humiliate her.

At this moment, the daughter of the Pingzhou governor died much earlier than in her previous life. Liu Moyan was terrified, wondering if this was caused by her own reincarnation. However, her death would definitely be blamed on Liu Qingwan by the Pingzhou governor.

The Third Prince seemed to appear here to deliver a message, but in fact he was hinting to her that the only one who could save her at this time was the Third Prince.

Liu Moyan looked at the dangerous eyes of the Third Prince. She was frightened but she could only deal with it anyway.

"She...I...If I capture her, will you let my sister go?"

The Third Prince smiled playfully: "Are you afraid that I won't keep my promise?"

Liu Moyan: "Madam Cui is dead. How can Your Highness prove that this matter has nothing to do with my elder sister or the Liu family? I don't know the identity of that girl at all. How can I testify for Your Highness?"

She didn't want to sacrifice Xu Yao. Not to mention what Xu Yao had done for her these days, if she couldn't protect such a capable person, how would she deal with the troubles that would come in the future?

She needed Xu Yao so much that she wanted to struggle.

The third prince snorted softly, and before Liu Moyan could react, he kissed her fiercely. Liu Moyan was caught off guard, and by the time she thought of counterattacking, the other party had already retreated.

"Yanyan, you are really interesting." His eyes were burning, as if he was hiding something. Liu Moyan was so scared that she didn't dare to look at him, for fear of seeing the irrepressible desire in his eyes.

She didn't understand why he would have such thoughts about her when she had only met him two or three times.

The Third Prince would not explain, but narrowed his eyes and said: "You have no other choice now. This is the last way out I give you. Hand over Xu Yao, and the Liu family can survive. Otherwise..."

He hadn't finished his words, but Liu Moyan knew that she couldn't refuse at all.

What could she do? She could do nothing. The other party had planned for a long time and had a sophisticated layout. Even if she was reborn, she didn't have the brains to defeat him.

Xu Yao saw the palace maid who delivered the message again. This time it was already dark. The Liu family was trembling with fear because Minister Liu was arrested. They didn't even dare to open the door.

Xu Yao was ordered to go out to get information, and then he ran into the palace maid waiting outside.

The maid was extremely nervous and hurriedly handed her a letter and ran away. She didn't even dare to talk to Xu Yao for fear of getting into trouble.

Xu Yao wanted to chase after her, but seeing how frightened she looked, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her.

She opened the letter and frowned. She found a deserted place and burned the letter.

As soon as she returned, Qin's mother came to look for her. "Madam asked you, what did you find out?"

The palace only said that Minister Liu was arrested because he was so angry that the emperor vomited blood. But no one was told the specific information. They only sent people to watch the Liu family and not allow anyone to go out.

It was Mother Qin who forced Xu Yao to go out and get information in the name of the lady.

These two people both think so highly of her.

Xu Yao sighed and followed Mother Qin to see Zhang.

The room was very dark. Ever since she suddenly fell ill, Zhang had been unable to get up. The room was filled with the smell of medicine, which was very unpleasant.

Zhang sat on the edge of the bed, looking very haggard, with a headband on her head, looking at Xu Yao expressionlessly.

"What did you find out?"

Xu Yao: "I heard that someone reported to the master in the court, saying that his brother-in-law colluded with bandits and robbed passing merchants. The master was excited and refuted the retort. It was not an insult to the emperor, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the master was unlucky. The emperor vomited blood just as he finished speaking. That's why the rumor spread that the master was so angry that the emperor vomited blood."

Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this, but she also felt it was unreasonable. "Your Majesty has been in good health, how could he suddenly vomit blood?"

Xu Yao paused and said with difficulty: "Maybe it has something to do with Xun Yangzi."

She couldn't find out more unless she went to the palace to get information. She felt more and more that Xun Yangzi had a big problem. Her suspicion was correct, but unfortunately she didn't have time to find out the truth before the other party made a move.

She originally wanted to give Honglian away, but if she did that, wouldn't her identity become suspicious?

Xu Yao didn't want to expose himself, so he could only hide the matter of Honglian temporarily.

Honglian is now hiding in Zhang Er Niang's yard and dares not come out easily.

Zhang thought that her husband was in a bad mood because of her brother-in-law's accident, so she endured the discomfort and drank the medicine, and asked Mother Qin to invite her sister and brother-in-law to discuss things.

Xu Yao returned to the house and began to pack her things. She was surrounded by a strong sense of crisis, and this time, she had to leave.

"Godmother, something might happen to the Liu family, you..."

"Hush, stop talking nonsense." Mrs. Zhao pulled her aside and told her not to talk nonsense. "If the master and his wife knew about this, they would sell you out."

Xu Yao was not afraid: "Godmother, I am worried. I have asked someone to get you a new household registration. If something happens to the Liu family, that person will take you away. If nothing happens... the Liu family is not a place to stay for long. Godmother, listen to me and don't stay here."

Chef Zhao was also confused. Everyone in the mansion had been in a panic these past two days. Although she was grateful for the Liu family's kindness over the years, she and the Liu family had not yet reached the point of swearing allegiance to them until death.

She just wanted to lead a peaceful life with her daughter and didn't want her daughter to become a criminal slave and be sold again.

Now, hearing that his goddaughter had arranged a way out for him, he felt touched but also uneasy. "Can it be done? What about you? What are you going to do?"

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. I will be relieved if you are all okay."

Xu Yao explained the situation to her and gave her another five hundred taels of silver. Regardless of what Chef Zhao thought, he left in a hurry, saying that he was going to do some errands.

Chef Zhao felt distressed, but she also knew that she was powerless. She could only kneel down and pray to the Buddha to protect her goddaughter and keep her safe, and to help the Liu family survive this disaster.

Xu Yao packed his things, climbed over the wall under the cover of night, avoided the surveillance, and tried to go to the city gate.

But the situation was very bad. The guards at all the city gates were strengthened, and the Pei family was surrounded, so they could not get any news at all.

She tried to find Bai Lingzhi, but Bai Lingzhi was also being monitored.

Xu Yao wondered, could Yuan Qingzong be so capable as to supervise everyone?

And the letter from Liu Moyan, should I go and see it?
