I made the villain right.

After Xu Wuyou left the palace, he hurriedly walked towards Changliu Villa.

The man in black followed quietly in the dark.

When Xu Wuyou came to a dim alley, she suddenly felt an eerie feeling behind her, as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at her.

Her expression changed slightly, her eyebrows were furrowed, a trace of panic and vigilance flashed in her eyes, and she quickly turned around and glanced around.

However, there was silence all around, and no one was seen.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in her heart did not completely disappear, so she quickened her pace and hurried on her way.

Xu Wuyou walked to the outside of Changliu Villa and found the gate closed. She did not dare to knock on the door for fear of making a noise and being discovered.

So she found a remote courtyard wall, gritted her teeth, and decided to climb over the wall.

She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she lifted her skirt and found a relatively easy place to climb.

She used her hands and feet to climb up with great effort, but she couldn't get up.

So she had to think of another way. She looked around the nearby streets for any tools that could be used.

After searching around, she found a food cart abandoned in the corner, so she pushed it outside the wall. As she did all this, beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

With the help of a cart, she successfully climbed up to the top of the wall. Looking at the high wall, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After preparing herself mentally, she jumped down.

However, before she could gain her footing, she heard footsteps not far away.

She thought to herself that something was wrong and was about to find a place to hide, but it was too late.

Several people who looked like guards quickly came over and surrounded her tightly.

The leading guard had an expressionless face as he looked coldly at her, the intruder of unknown origin, and drew his sword to her neck.

"Who are you to dare to trespass into Changliu Villa?"

Xu Wuyou was not afraid at all, but stared at the leading guard with a fierce look, and spoke with unquestionable majesty: "How dare you! I am the Sixth Princess, and I have something important to discuss with Prince Jing'an. Why don't you let me go quickly?"

The guard took a look at Xu Wuyou and saw that she was dressed as a maid and climbed over the wall in the middle of the night. Her behavior was strange and did not seem like that of a princess, so he did not believe her words.

He sneered and said, "Can someone like you be a princess?"

Xu Wuyou's eyes widened with anger, and his voice became louder. He said sternly, "Whether I am a princess or not will be clear after I meet King Jing'an. If you don't let me see King Jing'an and delay important matters, you can't take responsibility."

After hearing Xu Wuyou's words, the guard still had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop him rashly.

Whether she is a princess or not will be known when she meets King Jing'an.

If not, he would punish her, since she was a weak woman and couldn't escape anyway.

If she was really a princess and had important matters to attend to with Prince Jing'an and was delayed by him, the consequences would be something she could not afford.

After hesitating for a moment, the guard decided to let her go.

He slowly put down his sword and stepped aside to make way for me. Although his tone was still stiff, it was more respectful: "Since you call yourself a princess, then follow me. If you tell a lie, you will die."

Xu Wuyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his chin slightly, and walked past the guards with an arrogant look.

Seeing this, the man in black in the dark left quietly.

Led by the guards, Xu Wuyou hurried inside, passed through the winding corridors and quiet courtyards, and came to a brightly lit study.

The guard outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, there is a woman claiming to be the Sixth Princess outside, saying she has something important to discuss."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and King Jing'an looked at Xu Wuyou and said, "Come in."

Xu Wuyou took a deep breath and walked into the study.

Prince Jing'an was seen sitting behind the desk, looking at her with a stern expression and deep eyes.

Xu Wuyou bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Grand Uncle Wang."

King Jing'an got straight to the point: "Princess, why did you come to visit so late at night?"

"Uncle Tai Wang has come to me before to ask about my father's death. I am willing to tell you everything and testify to the crimes of Qin Yixian and Xu Wuchen in killing the emperor and seizing power."

King Jing'an was somewhat incredulous when he heard this, with a hint of suspicion and confusion in his eyes, "The princess has never been on the same side with your brother, why did you suddenly turn against me and join my side?"

Hearing this, Xu Wuyou's eyes suddenly darkened, and he clenched his fists, with a hint of hatred in his tone: "Xu Wuchen has become ruthless for the throne, killing his father and the king, and even not letting me go. Now if I want to survive, I can only turn to the Grand Uncle."

King Jing'an frowned upon hearing this, "How could he become so cruel and ruthless! It is true that those who keep company with bad people will become bad, and those who keep company with good people will become good."

Xu Wuyou pondered for a moment and said, "I will set fire to the palace tonight and fake my death to escape. I hope that Uncle Taiwang will block the news that I am still alive and protect me."

"Since you have already turned from evil to good, I will naturally protect you. During this period of time, you will live in Changliu Villa as a maid."

Xu Wuyou bowed and said, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Taiwang."

Inside the palace, the fire that everyone had been fighting for a long time was finally put out.

Although the Sixth Princess was rescued from the sea of ​​fire, she had been burned beyond recognition and had been stabbed several times, and had already died.

The next day, Xu Wuchen was so sad after receiving the news that he didn't even attend the morning court. He ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly, which showed that he had done a good job.

In the study, the sound of Wang Yi talking to Xu Wuchen could be heard.

Xu Wuchen asked doubtfully, "Are you sure that the body belongs to the Sixth Princess?"

"Although her face was burned, judging by her attire, she was indeed the Sixth Princess. However, in addition to the burns, the princess also had several fatal knife wounds on her left chest. Her death was tragic. Qiu Zhi was nowhere to be found."

Xu Wuchen was suspicious when he heard this, and murmured, "How could it be such a coincidence that her face was burned? This is strange. Could it be that the body is not the emperor's sister's?"

Xu Wuchen thought for a moment and urged, "Be sure to find Qiu Zhi and find out the situation!"

"Yes." Just as Wang Yi finished speaking, someone suddenly came into the study. Xu Wuchen was a little surprised to see that the visitor was Wei Dong.

His eyes flickered unconsciously, and the expression on his face stiffened for a moment.

Afraid that Wei Dong might hear his conversation, he asked, "When did Commander Wei come? What's the matter with you?"

Wei Dong said expressionlessly: "I just came here to bring a message from Prime Minister Qin."

Xu Wuchen calmed down after hearing this and asked, "What did Prime Minister Qin want you to say?"

Wei Dong didn't say anything, but just turned his head slightly and glanced at Wang Yi indifferently.

Xu Wuchen was very perceptive and understood Wei Dong's meaning instantly.

He said in a deep voice: "You go down first."

After Wang Yi left, Wei Dong spoke up: "Prime Minister Qin hopes that Your Majesty will not be greedy, otherwise you will end up like the Sixth Princess."

When Xu Wuchen heard this, his face suddenly changed. There was a hint of astonishment and anger between his brows, and his lips trembled slightly.

I originally thought that it was he who asked Qiu Zhi to get rid of Xu Wuyou, but I didn't expect that it was Qin Yixian who had someone kill him. No wonder the emperor's sister died in such a miserable way.

Qin Yixian is killing the chicken to scare the monkey!

Although he had the answer in his mind, he still wanted to confirm it: "Was the imperial sister killed by someone sent by Prime Minister Qin?"

Wei Dong said truthfully: "Yes, the Sixth Princess and her maid were killed by me."

Wei Dong's words dispelled Xu Wuchen's doubts.

Qin Yixian actually dared to send someone to warn him, he must have known some of his recent actions.

Xu Wuchen's heart was burning with anger, but his face remained calm and he said firmly, "Commander Wei, go back and tell Prime Minister Qin that my feelings have never changed and I will always be his obedient grandson."

"I will pass on the message, Your Majesty, rest assured."

Wei Dong seemed to sense Xu Wuchen's displeasure. He lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, just focus on preparing for your ascension to the throne during this period of time. Don't worry too much."

Xu Wuchen heard this, and a hint of hidden smile flashed in his eyes, "I understand that the construction of the court will still need to rely on talents like Commander Wei in the future. I am very optimistic about you."

Commander Wei immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I will do my best to serve Your Majesty and the court, and live up to Your Majesty's high expectations."

After hearing this, Xu Wuchen's lips curled up slightly and he raised a satisfied smile.

When Wei Dong turned and left, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

In Changliu Courtyard, Xu Zhijing hurried into the study and said solemnly, "Foster father, urgent news came from the palace just now. Changle Palace was flooded and the Sixth Princess has died. Your Majesty is extremely sad and did not even attend the morning court."

When King Jing'an heard the news, his face remained calm and he raised his eyes slightly and said, "Yes, I understand."

When Xu Zhijing saw that King Jing'an was so calm, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes and his face was full of confusion.

At that moment, King Jing'an turned to the door and shouted, "Come in!"

Xu Wuyou, who was waiting outside the door, heard this and walked in calmly.

When Xu Zhijing saw that the Sixth Princess was still alive, he was stunned, his face full of surprise, and he subconsciously said: "Princess, you are still alive!"

Xu Wuyou raised her eyes and glanced at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, with a hint of dissatisfaction and arrogance in her eyes, and retorted: "Why, you hope that I will die."

After these words were spoken, Xu Zhijing was suddenly speechless.

After a moment, he looked apologetic and said quickly, "That's not what I meant."

Hearing this, Xu Wuyou's mouth curled up slightly, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face: "I don't think you dare."

King Jing'an glanced at Xu Zhijing and Xu Wuyou, and then ordered: "Jing'er, the princess will be in your care for the time being. You must ensure her safety."

Xu Zhijing frowned slightly when he heard this.

Xu Zhijing knew Xu Wuyou's previous reputation: spoiled and willful, and it was unreasonable for a grown man like him to take care of such a delicate princess.

I hope she doesn't get herself into any trouble.

Although Xu Zhijing was somewhat reluctant, he did not want to disobey his adoptive father.

He bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "Yes, foster father, I will definitely live up to your trust."

After Prince Jing'an and Xu Zhijing briefly explained Xu Wuyou's purpose of coming to Changliu Villa, Xu Zhijing sent Xu Wuyou back to his residence.

On the way, Xu Wuyou and Xu Zhijing expressed their dissatisfaction and demands: "The light in my room is too dim, I need to install more lights, the quilt on the couch is too hard, it made it difficult for me to fall asleep last night, I need to change it to a silk quilt, and I am used to being served by others, you need to find a trustworthy maid for me as soon as possible."

Xu Zhijing frowned as he listened, his face instantly turned dark and he felt overwhelmed.

He knew that this princess was trouble.

Xu Zhijing looked at Xu Wuyou with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Princess, are you coming to Changliu Villa to enjoy yourself?"

Xu Wuyou raised her chin slightly, with an angry look on her face, "Hey! Grand Uncle Wang asked you to take good care of me. If you can't even do this, what's the point of having you?"

"I am only responsible for protecting the princess, not serving you."

Xu Zhijing was about to leave, but Xu Wuyou grabbed her clothes and refused to let go, saying, "I don't care. If you don't do it, I will keep pestering you."

Xu Zhijing turned around and glared at her: "Let go!"

When Xu Wuyou heard this, on the contrary, she held on to the corner of his clothes even tighter and said stubbornly, "No!"

"Princess, are you doing this to let everyone know that you are still alive?"

Xu Wuyou's face shrank a little when he heard this, "Okay then"

Just when Xu Zhijing thought she was going to give up, she saw her expression suddenly change, and she said arrogantly: "If you don't go, I will go by myself. If something happens to me by accident, the Grand Uncle will definitely blame you."

After saying this, she walked away without looking back. Seeing this, Xu Zhijing panicked and quickly caught up with her, trying to persuade her, "Wait a minute, I promised the princess."

Seeing this, Xu Wuyou curled up a triumphant smile.

Humph, you still want to threaten me with this kind of thing.

The smile in his eyes had not yet faded, but he heard Xu Zhijing say: "I'm sorry I can't agree to the last condition."

Xu Wuyou looked puzzled: "Why?"

"We just dismissed the people sent by His Majesty a while ago. If we find a maid to come in now, it might arouse suspicion. There are so many eyes staring at Changliu Villa outside. Princess, it's better to keep a low profile."

Xu Wuyou lowered his eyes, as if thinking, and agreed in an instant: "Okay, let's do it."

After saying that, she left in a carefree manner, leaving Xu Zhijing a little stunned.

Xu Zhijing thought he would have to argue with her for a long time, but unexpectedly she suddenly became obedient.
