Xue Jinyi's face was indifferent, "The curfew is coming. ”

King Chu finally let go of her arm, untied a delicate small dagger from her belt, and handed it over, "Use it for self-defense." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu go slowly, be careful tomorrow." She watched the King of Chu get into the carriage, and the two carriages quietly left the courtyard and headed for the brightly lit place in the distance.

Xue Jinyi returned to the table and took a sip of tea.

Qinglan looked outside, and then looked at Xue Jinyi, "Miss Xue, His Royal Highness the King of Chu just left?" ”

"Well, the curfew is coming, and he must show up at the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow morning." Xue Jinyi said indifferently, "While it's still early, let's rehearse it a second time." ”

Qinglan was helpless, "Yes, Miss Xue." ”

Everyone practiced for the second time, and after the incident, Xue Jinyi asked everyone to rest early, and she also slept in the main room.

As the night deepened, the peace of Pingkang Square finally returned.

When the dark clouds covered the moon and it was dark in all directions, a dark shadow fell into the courtyard, but as soon as his feet were steady, the cold light fell on his neck.

"I'm just going back to my own house, this hero doesn't have to be like this, right?"

"Your own home?"

"Ahem, I also got my master's consent to pass through here."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of rustling sounded outside the courtyard gate.

The clouds drifted away, the moonlight returned to the earth, and he saw the black mask of the sword-bearer's face glowing with a cold cold light.

"This hero, I don't think you like to be found out, right?"

As the voices got closer and closer, Ah Yan grabbed him by the collar and swept to the front of the main house like a ghost, gently opened the door, and when one person passed, he led the person into it silently.

Xue Jinyi couldn't sleep well, she keenly felt that someone had entered her house, and it was said that there were guards secretly watching, but she still let people in...... Her heart tightened, and she continued to pretend to sleep with her eyes closed, her ears watching the movements in all directions.

When the two men entered the house, there was no movement, but there seemed to be a whispered conversation in the distance.

She was bold, and her eyes opened a slit, only to see two figures swaying in front of the window, and the faint light of fire flickering reflected on the window paper.

The light did not linger long before it was gone.

Then she heard a man's voice.

"I'll use it for a secret passage, so I won't disturb the hero......"

After two faint sounds, the room was quiet again, but Xue Jinyi knew that there was still one person lingering in the room.

The man didn't do anything, as if he was standing quietly, but she could feel the man staring at her.

Xue Jinyi pretended to be in her sleep and wrapped the thin quilt tightly in her sleep, and secretly held the small dagger left by the King of Chu.

The jewels and patterns adorned with the sheath were a little awkward, but they also made her more sober.

The man was a little closer to her, and she heard a "stab" and a fire lit up in front of her.

Xue Jinyi's slightly opened eyes were a little uncomfortable at first.

This person is too bold, right, and he dares to light a candle?

She couldn't help frowning, and when her eyes finally adjusted to the light, she could see the face of the person in front of her clearly.

"Ah Yan?" She opened her eyes, her tone tinged with joy.

Yan made a silent gesture and sat down on the chair next to the couch.

Xue Jinyi pointed at his throat.

Ah Yan nodded.

Why are you still reluctant to speak in front of her? Xue Jinyi couldn't find a reason, could it be that this person had made a rule - not to talk to people other than ordinary people? The original owner is the daughter of Wei Guogong, a noble daughter in the capital, so naturally it is not within the scope of his opening.

It could only be explained in this way, Xue Jinyi pointed to the next room again, and then wrote on the paper.

"How's the guard?"

Ah Yan stretched out his left hand, "It's okay, I didn't let them find out." ”

Xue Jinyi looked at the handwriting, and lost her shape a little while she was strong, obviously not her dominant hand.

She glared at the mask, a little annoyed - what was Ah Yan guarding against in front of her?

She gritted her teeth and wrote, "Why are you here? ”

"Collect the money, protect the people."

Xue Jinyi looked at the word, picked up the pen and wrote again, "King Chu, please come and protect me?" ”

Ah Yan shook her head and continued to write behind her beautiful hairpin, "I don't know who the upper family is." ”

Xue Jinyi sighed lightly, thinking that Ah Yan was floating in the rivers and lakes, and if she wanted to eat and drink, she had to spend money, and if she wanted to help refugees, she had to spend money, but money didn't float down from the sky, there had to be a way to make money.

It is reasonable for people in the rivers and lakes to abide by the rules and are unwilling to easily disclose the name and surname of their family.

But...... Xue Jinyi was a little unhappy, originally the last time she was in distress changed her opinion of Ah Yan, but now it is melancholy.

Ah Yan made a gesture for her to rest sooner.

Xue Jinyi looked at his dark mask.

"Who was that guy just now?" She wrote again.

"I don't know."

Xue Jinyi looked puzzled.

Ah Yan continued: "Passers-by. ”

Xue Jinyi looked at the entrance and exit of the secret passage that had been closed, Shao Wulang could lend them the courtyard and the secret passage, and he would definitely use it to do business with others.

Hardly surprising.

She thought about it and found that there was nothing more to ask, so she sighed slightly, picked up the sandalwood fan, and handed it to Ah Yan.

Ah Yan took it, and she lay back on the couch.

The candle flame was extinguished, and the cool wind came with sandalwood, lingering on the tip of her nose.

Xue Jinyi closed her eyes, although Ah Yan was unpleasant, but having him by her side was reassuring, and she slowly fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, it was dark, Ah Yan was gone, and the sandalwood fan was placed next to her pillow. Xue Jinyi got up, picked up a small fan, put it under her nose and sniffed it carefully, except for the rich sandalwood, there was no other smell.

She felt like a pervert, smiled helplessly, and got up to prepare for today's important events.

In the morning, after greeting the eldest princess, the king of Chu left the princess's mansion as usual. One of the clerks who was doing business peeked at it and continued to write on the booklet.

Immediately afterward, he saw a young man dressed as a nurse walk into the flower hall.

As the young man walked, the long sword on his waist made a crisp sound, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle swept over the group of people from the East Palace, and then came to the eldest princess's side, whispering in his ear.

The corner of the little official's eyes kept glancing at the eldest princess.

The young man looked mysterious, and when he finished the report, the eldest princess smiled meaningfully.

"Let's do it."

He had good ears and heard the eldest princess say this.

"As long as you succeed, there will be a big reward."

The young man walked away briskly.

The little official fell into deep thought, conspiracies and tricks do not have to be done behind people's backs, sometimes plotting something in front of a large group of people, it is easier to clear the suspicion.

Previously, the eldest princess let them rest for a few days, wasn't it just that the prince was going to rob her and the king of Chu of the credit, and she was in a bad mood and didn't want to for a while. Tired of all this?

She must have racked her brains to ruin the prince's plan.
