After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Zongren Mansion.

Xiao Yuheng sat at the table with a frosty face, holding the secret letter tightly in his hand.

He Tingjia, this idiot, just got himself involved!

He was so angry that he stood up suddenly and swept all the teacups on the table to the ground.

Eunuch Liu knelt on the ground and spoke tremblingly:

"Your Highness, calm down."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, how can I still be a Highness!" Xiao Yuheng's chest heaved violently.

Eunuch Liu knelt down at Xiao Yuheng's feet, raised his head and said:

"Your Highness, please don't be anxious. I heard that before Concubine Jia was imprisoned, she angrily accused Your Majesty of being harsh on you and said he was not worthy of being a father."

"Although this is a rebellious remark, it hits the sore spot of Your Majesty."

"Your Highness, do you know what His Majesty hates the most?"

When Xiao Yuheng was asked this question by Eunuch Liu, his anger subsided a little.

After a long pause, he said, "Father hates brothers fighting each other the most."

"Yes, Your Highness," Eunuch Liu continued, "His Majesty was angry at the time because you disregarded the lives of the people and had the intention to seize the throne, so he imposed such a punishment."

"The late emperor did not love his princes when he was in power, and your Majesty has suffered all kinds of indifference since he was a child, so he does not want to be like the late emperor from the bottom of his heart."

"Think about it. His Majesty has loved you more than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since you were young. Now, what the Queen said will surely arouse His Majesty's guilt. If Your Highness shows repentance at this time and wins His Majesty's sympathy, you may be able to leave this clan mansion."

"After you leave the clan residence, Your Highness can make careful plans and take that position in no time..."

Eunuch Liu's words woke Xiao Yuheng up.

Before, he had lost his mind under Xiao Yujing's continuous suppression, and did many things impulsively without considering the consequences.

He had forgotten that he had a secret weapon——

The love of Emperor Chengren.

Even though he has been stripped of his clan membership, the fact that he is the emperor's son will not change.

As long as he wants, he still has the means to return to the family tree.

There was a fierce look in Xiao Yuheng's eyes.

Xiao Yujing, we are not done yet...

-

into the night.

Yi Lan, wearing night clothes, climbed over the wall of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

She hurried to Yi Qing's residence.

Before that, Yi Qing secretly told her to go to her place tonight to discuss the assassination of Xiao Yujing.

She was going to dissuade Yi Qing from assassinating Xiao Yujing, and after Jiang Ruoli's coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, she would take Yi Qing away.

When she returns to Xuanying Sect, no matter what punishment the sect leader gives her, she will bear it alone and will never implicate Yi Qing.

Yi Lan walked quickly and arrived at Yi Qing's residence in one breath.

When she entered the room, she found it extremely quiet.

There was a piece of paper on the table, Yi Lan picked it up and took a look.

"Senior Sister, Xiao Yujing is out tonight, I can't wait for you."

Yi Lan frowned tightly.

Yiqing actually acted on his own.

Just as she was about to turn around to find her, a sword was placed at her neck.

Jia Zuo's voice sounded coldly.

"My lady, my master wants to see you."

Yi Lan closed her eyes.

In the center of the lake, on a pleasure boat.

Yi Lan's hands were tied, and Jia Zuo brought her all the way to the houseboat.

As soon as he entered the room, Yi Lan saw Yi Qing, who was tied up and leaning against the wall weakly.

There was a wound on her right shoulder, which was bleeding profusely.

"Yi Qing!" Yi Lan exclaimed in surprise.

Yi Qing didn't respond at all and she fainted.

Yi Lan wanted to go forward to check on her condition, but the man behind him still had the knife at his neck.

She looked up at the man sitting above her.

"Prince Dacheng." Yi Lan said in a cold voice.

Xiao Yujing poured himself a cup of tea leisurely without answering.

"what you up to?!"

What does it mean to tie them both up and not talk to them?

Xiao Yujing sneered when he heard this.

"I should be the one asking you this..."

"What do you, Xuanying Sect, want to do?"

Xiao Yujing glanced at Yi Lan coldly.

Yi Lan’s body trembled.

He actually knew their identities!

"What Xuanying Sect does is, of course, kill people." Yi Lan said expressionlessly.

"Oh?" Xiao Yujing became interested, "Who wants to kill me?"

"No comment."

"laugh--"

Xiao Yujing sneered.

"Then I will slit your throats, drain your blood, and throw you both into the lake."

"I'm afraid General Jiang will go crazy by then..."

"you!"

Yi Lan clenched her hands tightly.

How did he know about her and Jiang Ci'an?

Xiao Yujing looked coldly at the two people below.

He deliberately spread the news that he was going to go boating on the lake tonight, and the people from the Xuanying Sect couldn't wait to come over.

He never expected that the task assigned by Xuanying Sect this time was to kill him.

It's really interesting...

Xiao Yujing narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Tell me, what is your intention in approaching the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

"I said, I have no comment!" Yi Lan looked at him coldly.

The long sword on his neck moved closer, and Yi Lan felt a slight chill.

The neck was cut.

Xiao Yujing rubbed the ring on his thumb.

"You were the one who killed those assassins from the Northern Xin Kingdom outside of Kyoto before, right?"

Yi Lan didn't say anything.

"Jiang Ci'an secretly hid a member of the Xuanying Sect, which is a serious crime. I can arrest him and bring him to justice now, and the entire Jiang family will be implicated."

Xiao Yujing's tone was cold, as if he was talking about the weather tonight.

Yi Lan was stunned, and a chill ran down his spine.

Is this the crown prince that Jiang Ci'an is loyal to?

Why did it seem so eerie to her?

Yi Lan bit her lip.

"Hasn't it already been known what the prince wants to know?"

He knew that she was from Xuanying Sect, that she killed the assassin from Beixin Kingdom, and that she had a relationship with Jiang Ci'an.

"Heh." Xiao Yujing chuckled.

Also.

Jiazuo waited for several days but did not find any movement from Yilan.

I heard that Jiang Ci'an, that idiot, has been in high spirits lately, as if good things are about to happen.

Tsk.

He felt very unhappy when he thought of this.

Before Li'er agreed to his request, Jiang Laoer had already expressed his true feelings to his sweetheart.

Now that he knew that these two men were here to assassinate him, nothing else mattered.

but......

"I'll ask you again, do you really not know who bought my life?"

Yi Lan shook her head firmly.

The disciples of Xuanying Sect are only responsible for killing people, and the buyers only have contact with the sect leader or deputy sect leader.

Seeing that her expression did not seem fake, Xiao Yujing raised his hand and signaled Jiazuo to let her go.

Jiazuo retracted his sword and untied the hemp rope that tied Yilan behind his back.

Yi Lan loosened his wrist and quickly ran to Yi Qing to check her injuries.

"What did you do to her?!"

Yi Lan looked at Xiao Yujing sharply.

Jia Zuo said, "This girl blew the drug into the pleasure boat, but she accidentally inhaled it and entered the pleasure boat in a daze. That's why I accidentally hurt her."

Yi Lan looked at Yi Qing's wound.

It's just a little bit of bleeding, it's nothing serious.

Yi Lan untied the ropes on Yi Qing, put her arms on his shoulders, and carried her out.

Xiao Yujing's cold voice came:

"Remember, I'll let you go tonight for Jiang Ci'an's sake. If there's a next time, even the entire Zhenguo Mansion will be useless."

Yi Lan paused slightly, then quickly left.

"Master, are you going to let them go just like that?" Jia Zuo asked.

Xiao Yujing stroked the ring in his hand, his eyes obscure and unclear.

"It's okay, just an ant."
