Shangguan Wanning returned home with anger, and after thinking about it, her anger disappeared halfway.

It’s also reasonable that I was dizzy and blind at the beginning. In order not to marry Mu Jingrui, it was so reasonable that the Mu brothers and sisters now have some doubts about her behavior.

The most important thing now is to find a way to rescue the poor girls detained in Yingchun Tower.

Since Xiao Zhenting already knew that someone had escaped with his secret, he would definitely take measures and might even kill someone to silence him.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wanning's back felt a little cold.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Your face has been bad since you came back from outside." Lu Tong walked in with two little maids, carrying clear water and snacks, and served Shangguan Wanning to wash.

Shangguan Wanning shook her head tiredly, rubbed her temples, thinking about something.

"Miss, my wife, please remind me that I will enter the palace tomorrow morning to pay my respects to the Empress."

According to the regulations of the court, every day on the 15th day of the lunar month, the powerful and noble female relatives in the court would come to the palace to greet each other.

Shangguan Wanning nodded carelessly.

Early the next morning, she got into the carriage and entered the palace. While waiting for the Empress to receive her, she lied that she was unwell and sued her in advance.

She asked the coachman to take a detour and wait near Dongzhimen.

After searching for the eyes, I saw Mu Jingrui with a blank expression, leaning against the corner of the wall, his deep eyes were calm, staring at the ground silently in a daze.

"Jing..." Shangguan Wanning tiptoed forward, and just put a hand on Mu Jingrui's shoulder, a severe pain came, "It hurts!"

Mu Jingrui hurriedly let go and frowned. "Why are you sneaking? I thought someone was sneaking attack."

Shangguan Wanning shook Mu Jingrui's hand away. Thinking of Mu Jingrui's attitude yesterday, there was an indignation that surged into his heart with new and old hatreds.

"Hmph!" Shangguan Wanning stomped her feet, turned around and left.

Mu Jingrui grabbed her wrist in a hurry. He looked around and led her to another hidden corner.

"What's the matter for me?" Mu Jingrui asked calmly.

Shangguan Wanning sighed secretly and no longer willful. After all, serious matters are important.

"I thought about it all night last night. If I want to get the stolen goods and get it, I must lead Xiao Zhenting to Yingchun Tower."

Mu Jingrui didn't expect Shangguan Wanning to think the same as Xiao Yujue.

He wrapped his hands on his chest and looked at Shangguan Wanning with interest. "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask Xiao Zhenting to come out to meet you, then..."

"Do you want to save the people in Yingchun Tower or do you want to date Xiao Zhenting?" Mu Jingrui's face darkened and interrupted Shangguan Wanning's words.

Shangguan Wanning was stunned.

She saw that familiar anger in Mu Jingrui's eyes. She subconsciously shivered.

"It's your own business that you want to ask Xiao Zhenting. You don't need to make excuses in front of me, nor do you need to explain to me. However, you'd better not interfere in Yingchunlou's affairs."

Mu Jingrui's attitude suddenly became cold.

Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath. "Do you think I asked Xiao Zhenting to... just want to see him?"

Mu Jingrui turned his head aside and didn't say anything.

Shangguan Wanning felt a little sad. She was about to refute, but Mu Jingrui pulled her towards the carriage and pushed her back into the carriage.

"Take your young lady back." After Mu Jingrui said that, he looked at Shangguan Wanning who was angry, and his voice eased, "There will be danger. I won't let you care, it's for your own good."

After Mu Jingrui finished speaking, he turned around and left.

It is late at night and the crescent moon is like a hook. The evening breeze blowing towards us is a little cool.

Several black shadows climbed over the wall of Yingchun Building, knocked out the patrol guards in the backyard, and set a fire near the firewood in the backyard.

"It's on fire...it's on fire..."

The panicked shouts interrupted the singing and dancing in the front hall, and they were drunk and dreaming, and rushed out all the way.

The men and women who were originally immersed in the gentle village also ran out in disarray, and the entire Yingchun Tower fell into chaos.

Mu Jingrui was dressed in black clothes and covered his face with a black scarf. He took Xiao Yujue's masters to him and went straight to the dry well according to Mu Jingyan's memory route.

"Crossed?"

Mu Jingrui pushed it twice and couldn't push it, so he simply gave up.

Because Mu Jingyan said that the exit of the secret passage was in the madam's room. He immediately rushed over with the others.

In the teahouse opposite Yingchun Tower, Xiao Zhenting sat in the private room on the second floor, leisurely savoring his daughter Hong. Looking at the trembling person who escaped from Yingchun Tower, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Second Your Highness, they are almost in." The guard reported in a low voice.

"Hmph, I want them to go in, but I can't get out." Xiao Zhenting's fingers pressed slightly, and the wine glass in his hand was pinched into pieces.

Mu Jingrui and his men easily knocked back the guards at the secret passage and walked in with a torch in hand.

For some reason, Mu Jingrui always feels something is wrong...

It seemed that it was too easy to come in. An ominous premonition was always lingering in his heart.

“Finally found.”

Not far away, the signal came from his subordinates, and Mu Jingrui rushed over immediately. The scene in front of him made his heart tremble.

Dozens of girls had messy hair and ragged clothes. They were curled up in the corner and were so scared that they burst into tears when they saw the person who suddenly appeared.

"We are here to save you and go out with us." Mu Jingrui couldn't stand the intertwined crying. After he finished speaking, he winked at his subordinates and signaled them to take these girls to follow.

Everyone returned to the exit, but found that they could no longer open.

"how so?"

Sure enough, the anxiety just now seemed to have come true.

Mu Jingrui tried many methods but couldn't open them.

"Do you feel... getting hotter?"

I don’t know who said something, but Mu Jingrui immediately became alert.

His hands gently pressed against the wall, and the hot temperature had already given him the answer.

No wonder they came in so easily. It turned out that Xiao Zhenting was willing to let the water go, and the purpose was to invite you into the trap.

"What should we do? Will we die here...I don't want to die..."

"I don't want to die either. My parents are still waiting for me to go back..."

Dozens of girls cried even louder.

The layout of Yingchun Tower flashed quickly in Mu Jingrui's mind. The secret passage they are in is actually the partitions of several wing rooms. If Xiao Zhenting was in all directions to prevent fire, they...

Death is undoubtedly true.

The temperature is getting higher and higher, and even if the fire does not come in, they will be steamed.

Mu Jingrui secretly condensed his true energy in his palm and decided to give it a try.

In a vague manner, he seemed to hear a strange noise.

With a "slam" sound, a wall was chiseled open, and more than a dozen young and middle-aged men rushed in.
