"Let go!"

Chu Xiaolian struggled hard, and she could feel the wound cracking.

Jiang Yi held Chu Xiaolian's hand behind him, pressed him up, and gently blew in her ear.

"Bastard." Chu Xiaolian cursed angrily, "You dare to be rude to me. When my injury heals, I will definitely kill you with one palm."

Jiang Yi did not take Chu Xiaolian's threat to heart, and reached out to her hair gently, put it in her ear and whispered: "Die under the peony flowers, you can be romantic even if you are a ghost. Your master... likes it the most

I did this.”

Chu Xiaolian trembled all over and tried her best to avoid Jiang Yi's approach.

"Aren't you afraid of being known by my master?"

A light of disgust flashed through Jiang Yi's eyes, and his fingers gently stroked Chu Xiaolian's cheek.

"Sure enough, the young skin is different from that old witch."

Jiang Yi was about to tear Chu Xiaolian's clothes when a knocking sound came from outside the door.

Chu Xiaolian was about to shout, but Jiang Yi covered her mouth.

"I warn you not to forget your mission this time. A person like Mu Jingrui is not something you can think of."

After saying that, Jiang Yi got up and jumped away.

Chu Xiaolian was cold all over and tried her best to take a few deep breaths before she could barely calm her thoughts.

She walked over and opened the door, and the waiter walked in with the medicine.

"Girl, this is your medicine. The old man told me to send it to you this time, so you remember to drink it."

After the waiter left, Chu Xiaolian looked at the bowl of warm medicine in front of her, and tears instantly soaked her eyes.

It was already late at night when Mu Jingrui came back. He saw that the lights were still lit in Chu Xiaolian's room, and he was sure that she was still in the room and did not bother him. He went back to the room directly.

He lay down with his clothes, and not long after closing his eyes, he heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the door.

He immediately took his sword and rushed to the window. Through the gaps in the window, he saw a group of men in black surrounding his room.

There were many archers ambushing the roof.

Mu Jingrui frowned slightly. His whereabouts have always been very hidden, why are there still killers chasing him?

Are these people looking for him or Chu Xiaolian next door?

Before Mu Jingrui could figure it out, more than a dozen torches threw them into the room.

I saw a long whip blowing by, and Chu Xiaolian rushed out earlier than him.

Mu Jingrui had no choice but to unsheathed his sword and came to the yard.

He protected Chu Xiaolian while fighting.

"Don't worry about me, you can go by yourself."

Chu Xiaolian was sinking little by little, because Mu Jingrui's martial arts skills were much higher than she thought.

Seeing that the ambushing killer could not do anything to him for a moment, Chu Xiaolian couldn't help but feel extremely entangled.

A gust of palm wind came, and Chu Xiaolian pushed Mu Jingrui away and blocked his palm with his body.

Mu Jingrui was shocked. While catching Chu Xiaolian, he became anxious.

He had no intention of fighting and was holding Chu Xiaolian to escape.

Chu Xiaolian's injuries seemed to have worsened. Mu Jingrui could not stop and heal her wounds, but the pursuers behind him were chasing her relentlessly.

"Nearby... there is a branch of the Soul-Surveying Hall, you can go there to hide."

Chu Xiaolian guided Mu Jingrui to a remote place, and the two of them came to a house in the suburbs.

Mu Jingrui climbed over the wall at the prompt from Chu Xiaolian. Before he could stand firm, he noticed a palm wind coming.

At this time, he hugged Chu Xiaolian, and there was limited room for his ability to play, so he had no choice but to dodge sideways.

His body hit the wall, as if it had touched some mechanism. Several sharp steel knives emerged from the wall and pierced into his body in an instant.

Mu Jingrui endured the pain and pulled out the steel knife, taking Chu Xiaolian to escape, but felt his whole body numb and collapsed on the ground.

He was confused and saw many people walking towards him with torches.

"Good job." Jiang Yi brought people over and looked at Mu Jingrui who was lying motionless on the ground, and smiled proudly.

He walked to Chu Xiaolian and looked at her with a sarcastic look.

"It's true that the most toxic woman's heart is. Mu Jingrui's desperate efforts to save you will not prevent you from betraying him."

As he said that, Jiang Yi kicked Mu Jingrui who had no ability to resist.

"Everyone says you are a young hero, but I think that's the case. You can get it with a handful of tricks. It's really boring."

Jiang Yi looked at Mu Jingrui with contempt. "If it weren't for the instructions from the superiors to keep your life for the time being, I'll take you to feed the wild dogs now. People come, take them down and imprison them in the water prison. Without my permission

, no one is allowed to approach."

When Jiang Yi said this, he kept staring at Chu Xiaolian.

Chu Xiaolian's expression was indifferent, she snorted heavily, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

The weather gradually warms up, and the afternoon sun begins to become fierce, always making people drowsy.

Shangguan Wanning calculated the days and waited for Mu Jingrui to come back.

"Miss, I'm fifteen today. Are you still entering the palace?"

After Lutong combed Shangguan Wanning's hair bun, she picked up the hairpin but started to hesitate.

According to convention, every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, we would go to the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager and the queen.

Since Ling Zhiru was executed, the Shangguan family and the Ling family's Liangzi have been formed. The Empress Dowager has also become very cold to Shangguan Wanning.

A few times, Shangguan Yuedu gave up on Guan Wanning's health and gave up on her greetings. However, there are always times when she couldn't push it over.

Shangguan Wanning thought about it carefully and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. Let's go to the palace today. At worst, I can hide farther."

Lu Tong smiled and picked up a hairpin for Shangguan Wanning and inserted it into the hair room, teasing: "Then I pray that Lord Mu will come back soon."

"I went to the palace to pay my respects. What does it have to do with whether he came back or not?"

"Of course there is. If the young lady gets married, she doesn't have to go to the palace to pay her respects."

Shangguan Wanning's cheeks turned red, and she gently pinched Lutong's waist.

"Damn girl, it's getting more and more unruly."

Lutong laughed and dodged. The master and servant played for a while, and then asked the housekeeper to prepare a carriage to enter the palace.

Shangguan Wanning deliberately kept a low profile. The other officials' ladies knew that the Empress Dowager did not like her, so she tried her best to avoid her.

She was happy to be idle.

But there are people who want to provoke trouble in order to please the Queen Mother and the Queen.

The Empress Dowager and the Queen took everyone to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. The Empress Dowager said casually: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I don't know if the Xiaozhu in the lake has been cleaned up. Ai's family looked at the lake shore.

The flowers on both sides are blooming brilliantly.”

"Mother, I have already ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean the small trees in the lake. Do you want to move to see it?"

The Queen Mother hesitated a little and nodded, "Okay, I'll take these girls to rest."

Shangguan Wanning was a little helpless.
