As soon as Jiang Muxia entered Yuzhao Courtyard, Tang Zhongbai pulled her into the house, locked her in the room, and told her something important in a mysterious manner.

"What's the matter? Just tell me why you look like that." Jiang Muxia looked at him with amusement.

He now looks like a thief, giving people the impression that he is sneaky and about to do something dishonorable.

Tang Zhongbai lay on the windowsill and held up the window. Snowflakes flew all over his head and face. He sneezed and quickly closed the window.

"They are not here." Tang Zhongbai rubbed his nose and poured her a cup of hot tea.

"Have some tea first, and I'll talk."

"Okay..." Jiang Muxia drank it all in one gulp, propped up his chin and blinked his eyes, to see what new words would come out of his mouth.

"Prince Yi came to visit Grandfather and asked the mansion to help him with something, and he agreed to one condition between you and me."

"Really?" Jiang Muxia sat up straight.

The words "promise one of our conditions" echoed in her ears. God's will, has Jiang Hongxin's matter been settled?

"What did you say first?"

Tang Zhongbai told her the contents of the note left by Tang Jing and the fact that he had handed it to Prince Yi. Now he had an urgent matter to do and needed the help of the palace. After the matter was completed, all the remnants of King Ling were arrested, and he could fulfill his promise.

As the New Year is approaching, many people are buying New Year goods in the city. What Liu He is most worried about is that these people will run to the busy market and implicate innocent people.

Therefore, he came up with a plan that would allow the Tang family to cooperate in order to complete the plan smoothly. He gave them a day to think about it, and the rest of the family had already agreed. He was just waiting for Jiang Muxia to come home and discuss it with her before giving them a decisive reply.

"The prince asked our Tang family to cooperate with him in a big show. He will send people to attack the mansion at midnight tomorrow night. Except for father, all four of us men were stabbed to death. These people think that their people have been punished for their actions, so they will take action. Their target is the Tang family, and then someone will report my grandfather. When the prince takes action to arrest people, another group of people will arrest all the remaining gang members on the list."

The more Jiang Muxia listened, the tighter her brows furrowed. Why did something seem wrong? Why did she feel like Prince Yi was setting a trap for the Tang family?

"Are you sure this isn't a trap set by the prince? If this is an excuse he made up, the whole family will be in trouble."

"Impossible. Grandfather and father both think it's feasible. Tomorrow, my eldest sister-in-law will bring the children to her parents' home to stay for one night. Don't worry."

Jiang Muxia thought to herself, you have already made the decision, why are you asking me what to do?

Although she agreed, she was worried all day, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

She repaired the whip and dagger, found a suitable pair of tight clothes, and arranged safe accommodation for Qinghong and Nanny Jiang, only then did she feel at ease.

At night, she hugged Tang Zhongbai tightly, as if afraid that he would run away. Tang Zhongbai sensed her worry, held her in his arms, kissed her cheek, and fell asleep.

The next morning, the snow had stopped, the sun was bright red and the sky was cloudless.

Zhang personally went to Yuzhaoyuan and persuaded Qinghong and Nanny Jiang to go to her parents' home with all her heart.

As soon as Qinghong left, she felt completely relaxed. Even if the assassins were real, she, Tang Zhongbai, and Tang San and Tang Si could easily deal with more than a dozen assassins.

After lunch, she took Tang Zhongbai to take a nap, trying to recharge their energy so that they would be well-equipped for the night.

We gathered at Fushou Hall for dinner. We ate a bite at a time, and there was silence at the table. Everyone was preparing to face the storm that was coming at night.

The sky gradually darkened, and at the command of Mr. Tang, everyone returned to their rooms. Tang Zhongbai asked Tang San and Tang Si to stay in his grandfather's courtyard in case anything went wrong.

Everyone went to bed on time as usual.

Tang Zhongbai blew out the light, lay down beside Jiang Muxia with his clothes on, and stared into her bright eyes.

"My dear, what do you think our child will look like? Will he look like you or me? I hope he will look like you. You are pretty, and our child will definitely be a smart and clever child."

His voice was gentle and didn't sound like a man who was about to be in a life-and-death situation.

Jiang Muxia blinked, blushed, and scolded with a smile: "Why are you saying this? We have only been married for a month, how can it be so fast."

Tang Zhongbai grabbed the person into his arms, startling Jiang Muxia so much that she cried out softly.

"Who are you looking down on? Are you saying I'm useless?" Tang Zhongbai kissed her until she couldn't breathe. She was a little annoyed. She had important things to do tonight, so why was this man so out of control?

Tang Zhongbai kissed her tears and realized that she was in a bad mood, so he stopped and lay down beside her.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself. I know you're worried, but we should trust the prince."

Jiang Muxia crawled into his arms, her voice choking a little, "I'm so scared."

This feeling is like knowing that you have a terminal illness and today is the day you will die. Yes, it is the feeling of waiting for death, the torment, and the fear of the unknown.

"Be good, I'm here, don't be afraid."

He patted her back gently, now and then, and gradually her breathing became even and she fell asleep.

Tonight, there were only the two of them in Yuzhao Courtyard, and Jifeng was sleeping soundly in the ear room of Tang San and Tang Si.

Suddenly, Tang Zhongbai opened his eyes. He held his breath and listened to the subtle sound of footsteps on the roof, frowning in confusion.

Something seemed wrong. At midnight, when we had agreed to meet the prince, the guards jumped into the palace from the back garden. My eldest brother was waiting there to lead the way, performing a play from one courtyard to another. How did he get over the roof?

He gently woke Jiang Muxia up, and she sat up straight with a start.

"Shh..." Tang Zhongbai made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and the two of them tiptoed down to the ground.

Taking advantage of the light from the snow outside the window, they dressed neatly and walked to the door one after another, looking out through the crack in the door.

Something floated down gently on the snow where the west wing and the ear room intersected.

"Here we go, be careful."

Jiang Muxia held the whip and dagger in his hands, ready to attack.

Four men in black clothes appeared in the courtyard, holding long swords in their hands. The long swords were reflected by the snow, and a cold light flashed across their faces, and a pair of vicious eyes made the two of them shudder.

What you fear will come true. These people really have bad intentions. Could it be that the prince really wants to silence their family?

Tang Zhongbai became suspicious.

"Let's get rid of the person first. I'm afraid something happened in the courtyard of my father and mother." Jiang Muxia couldn't bear it any longer. She was worried that she couldn't find anyone to settle the revenge for Qinghong, and then they came to her door.

"it is good."

Tang Zhongbai opened the door and drew the sword in his hand.

"Who is coming?"

"I am here by the order of the prince to kill you."

The two men were so upset that they kept scolding Liu He as a despicable villain. How could a powerful prince like him do such a despicable thing?

"You are not worthy of wanting our lives." Jiang Muxia raised the whip and pointed it directly at the forehead of the person opposite him.
