the other side……

The man's face turned slightly pale, and even some cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "I understand, Master Imperial Master." Although his heart was filled with fear, he knew that he must not show the slightest cowardice at this time.

At the same time, Boss Xue slowly walked to the window.

He stared quietly at the big hole in the wall, his eyes deep and solemn, as if he wanted to see through everything through the hole.

His whole body was motionless, like a sculpture, but his thoughts had already surged like the tide.

Only petite figures can pass through this cave. Apart from young children, probably only thin women can do it.

However, there is no child in Huangshan Temple, so the person who committed this crime is most likely a woman...

Thinking of this, Boss Xue couldn't help but frowned tightly, and the clues in his mind began to gradually connect into a clear picture.

After a moment, Boss Xue seemed to have suddenly realized some important information, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he turned around without hesitation and walked towards the depths of Huangshan Temple.

This time, he firmly believed that with his experience, he would be able to successfully capture the mysterious man.

As for Xue Jinhua, after she finished talking with the third prince, she quietly left the northernmost room. She knew very well in her mind that with Boss Xue's cleverness and scheming, he would definitely doubt her.

Therefore, she did not dare to delay for even a second and ran all the way back to her room.

But when she was about to reach the door, she found that Gongzi Jin was waiting there leisurely.

The moment Xue Jinhua saw Gongzi Jin, she stopped involuntarily.

She stood there, staring at Gongzi Jin, secretly wondering how to deal with the current situation.

As time passed, Xue Jinhua became more and more conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and walked back to the yard.

Her expression was exactly the same as when she came out and when she just came in. She still had her head lowered, as if she didn't dare to look others in the eye.

At this moment, Gongzi Jin happened to be standing at the door, blocking her way.

Gongzi Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Why did you go out for so long just now?"

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's heart started beating wildly.

Because she knew that if she answered rashly, it would inevitably expose some unspeakable secrets.

However, facing Gongzi Jin's questioning, she kept her lips tightly closed and said nothing.

Perhaps at the beginning, Young Master Jin asked the question unintentionally, but the silence of the maid in front of him made him feel a little doubtful.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense as time went on, as if even the air around them was on fire, so hot that it was difficult to breathe.

Gongzi Jin frowned tightly, took a step forward involuntarily, and raised his voice a few degrees: "I am asking you a question, why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty?"

At this moment, Xue Jinhua's palms were already covered with fine beads of sweat, and the sticky feeling made her very uncomfortable.

But even so, she still racked her brains to think of a response, but she could not come up with a suitable answer to break the current embarrassing situation.

Just as Gongzi Jin was about to move closer, a delicate voice suddenly came from inside the house: "What are you still doing here! Have you brought the incense I ordered?" It turned out to be Guyu urging him.

Xue Jinhua stood at the door, the cold air made her exhale a breath of white air.

She shrank her neck, wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, and walked quickly into the house.

At the same time, Young Master Jin in the room was frowning. Although he did not have too many doubts about certain things in his heart, for some reason, at that moment, his eyes suddenly fell on an exquisite brocade bag on the ground.

This discovery made his face instantly solemn, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to go into the inner room to find out what was going on.

However, he had never expected that in just a few seconds, Xue Jinhua and Gu Yu had completed the change of clothes at an astonishing speed.

They moved quickly, without any delay or hesitation.

Xue Jinhua quickly untied her hair, and her jet-black, shiny hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Then, she changed into a snow-white middle-length dress in a lightning-fast manner. The whole process was smooth and seamless.

Not only that, because she had just walked hurriedly on the road, Xue Jinhua's body was still slightly cold.

But she didn't care about all that. She picked up the teacup on the table, tilted her head back and gulped down the tea in the cup, as if to dispel the coldness in her body.

Just at this moment, there was a creaky sound and the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xue Jinhua appeared at the door with an angry face and shouted at Gongzi Jin: "Gongzi Jin, are you crazy? How dare you barge in like this!"

At this moment, Gongzi Jin opened his eyes wide and stared at Xue Jinhua in front of him - she had her long hair loose and was wearing a snow-white middle dress, like a snow lotus blooming in the cold winter, pure and elegant.

Although she never wore any makeup, she was naturally beautiful and had an outstanding appearance.

In addition, she was pregnant, which made her look even more delicate and gentle, emitting an incredibly soft temperament, as if her whole body was shrouded in a faint halo.

In the pitch-black night when everything is silent, Xue Jinhua is like a bright lamp embedded in a niche on the wall, emitting endless gentle light, which makes people want to get closer and feel the warmth and peace.

Such a charming girl naturally attracted the attention of others, who stuck to her tightly, unable to move away even a little bit...

However, in this peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, a loud and clear slapping sound suddenly came out - "Pa!"

In just a moment, Xue Jinhua's face was filled with anger. She raised her palm and slapped the man in front of her fiercely on the face, and shouted: "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you break into my bedroom without permission? Don't think that you can do whatever you want here without any harm just because the Imperial Master is protecting you!"

After receiving this sudden palm strike, Gongzi Jin did not show any anger. Instead, he subconsciously explained, "Crown Princess, you have misunderstood. I have no such intention! I just heard some strange noises coming from the bedroom, and I was worried that something unexpected might happen, so I rushed in to check."

"This humble servant's action is entirely out of concern for the Crown Princess' safety. I absolutely do not have any other bad intentions. Please understand this, Crown Princess!"

Is there really no other intention?

Xue Jinhua looked at Gongzi Jin in front of her with suspicion, and thought to herself: This person has always been cunning, how could he just be guarding here?

She snorted coldly and said in a cold tone: "Young Master Jin, do you really think that I will easily believe your nonsense?"

"In the past few days, you have been waiting by my side, your burning gaze has never left my body, and you even kept looking me up and down. Do you think I am a fool who has no idea?"

Hearing this, Gongzi Jin couldn't help but frown. It seemed as if a place deep in his heart suddenly collapsed, and an indescribable feeling instantly surged into his heart.

It's a hard feeling to describe. It feels like a loss and a bit bitter.

He knew very well that he had been secretly observing Xue Jinhua.

However, being exposed by her in front of him, he was a little at a loss.

Just as his thoughts were in a mess, he heard Xue Jinhua continue to shout angrily: "I am the Crown Prince's servant after all, how can I allow a scoundrel like you to spy on me and have delusions at will! Guyu, quickly fetch the sword!"

Guyu, who was standing by, didn't dare to be negligent at all and hurriedly responded and left.

After a while, a sword shining with cold light appeared in front of Xue Jin's screen.

She stretched out her hand and drew out the long sword without hesitation, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Gongzi Jin's throat, and said sternly: "A scum like you actually dares to covet me, today is the day you die!" Before she finished speaking, Xue Jinhua shook her wrist, and the sword in her hand stabbed towards Gongzi Jin like lightning.

However, at this critical moment, Gongzi Jin flashed and easily avoided the fatal blow like a ghost.

Xue Jinhua was already furious, but as the two of them gradually distanced themselves from each other, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

After a closer look, it turned out that Gongzi Jin was not trying to avoid him intentionally, but was forcibly pulled away by a powerful force.

Only then did she notice that there was someone standing behind Gongzi Jin.

The national teacher was wearing a black robe, emitting a mysterious and majestic aura.

"Crown Princess, even if you are angry, you must not take human life lightly."

A low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded, like an echo from the dark abyss, making people shudder.

The person who spoke was Boss Xue. He was like an observer hidden in the darkness, seemingly able to see through what everyone was thinking.

"The Crown Princess is pregnant now. If we rashly kill someone...it might bring disaster to the fetus in her womb." Boss Xue advised earnestly.

However, facing Boss Xue's kind words of advice, Xue Jinhua did not appreciate it at all, but became even more arrogant and domineering: "Humph! As the Crown Princess, it is only natural for me to teach my servants a lesson! Master Imperial Master, if you feel sorry for your subordinate, you can take him away. But if he dares to stay here and get in the way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying this, Xue Jinhua raised her eyebrows and looked domineering, as if the whole world had to bow down to her.

But Boss Xue was not intimidated by her aura. He still stood there calmly, staring at the person in front of him with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her true thoughts through her arrogant appearance.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head and said to Gongzi Jin expressionlessly: "You have nothing to do here, so you should leave now." Although his voice was not loud, it contained an unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, although Gongzi Jin was extremely reluctant, he also knew that it would be useless for him to stay here any longer, so he quickly responded, "Yes, as you command!"

After saying this, he walked quickly towards the door as if he had been granted amnesty.

However, just as he was about to step out of the door, for some reason, he suddenly stopped, as if he had made some kind of decision. He turned around abruptly and his eyes fell directly on Xue Jinhua.

At this time, Xue Jinhua was lowering her head, thinking secretly about what had just happened.

Suddenly she felt a burning gaze directed at her. She subconsciously raised her head and her eyes met Gongzi Jin's.

Gongzi Jin's eyes were filled with obsession and attachment, as if he could see through her completely.

Such a naked look startled Xue Jinhua and she trembled involuntarily.

At the same time, an inexplicable fear suddenly surged into her heart, and she could even clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat accelerating.

"Master Imperial Master, it's getting dark now. Don't you plan to leave? I want to rest." Xue Jinhua tried hard to calm her inner anxiety and spoke in a calm tone.

However, her mind could not get rid of the last look that Gongzi Jin gave her. That feeling made her feel more and more uneasy, but she really couldn't figure out what went wrong for a while.

Boss Xue seemed to have not heard Xue Jinhua's words. Not only did he not turn around and leave, but he walked straight forward, stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed Xue Jinhua's slender wrist.

Xue Jinhua was frightened by this sudden action. She instinctively wanted to break free and shouted, "Master Imperial Master, men and women should not touch each other. What on earth do you mean by doing this?"

"Sister, there's no one else here, why do you have to act so hypocritical in front of me? I'm your biological brother, if I touch you... wouldn't it be as easy as taking something out of a bag? Who would dare to say anything?"

"How can this be absurd? I am the Crown Princess, and I am the beloved daughter of Your Excellency. How could I know that Your Excellency and the State Master are siblings? This is absolutely ridiculous and absurd!"

"Your pulse is beating so fast, obviously you have just been exercising, did you sneak out?"

Boss Xue's face was tense, as if it were a piece of iron, and he stared at her like a hungry wolf, as if he wanted to find even the slightest flaw in her delicate face like porcelain.

Xue Jinhua was in a panic. Could it be that he really knew something?

"Nonsense! I was just extremely angry just now. Young Master Jin dared to trespass into my bedroom. How could I not be angry?"

After saying that, Xue Jinhua suddenly shook off his hand, her expression as if she had seen something disgusting, "Master Imperial Master, whether I went out or not, your people guarding the door naturally saw it clearly, so why bother talking to me here? Are you deliberately trying to frame me? That's really a crime you deserve to die!"
