The subordinates in the Ming Palace, after tidying up the front hall, went back to their rooms.

The affairs of the master's family, those of them who are subordinates, it is better to pretend not to know.

The night became more and more silent, and a sneaky figure slipped out of the subordinate room and cautiously walked towards Mu Fengyuan. After seeing the flying shadow with a sad face guarding outside Mufeng Garden, the sneaky figure quietly retreated and changed direction towards Fengqi Pavilion.

Because Xiao Zhihan asked all the shadow guards to withdraw, the sneaky figure easily sneaked into the Fengqi Pavilion. Seeing the candlelight on the second floor, the sneaky figure stood on tiptoe, and without making a sound, it reached the flickering candlelight window.

The door on the second floor was not closed tightly, and a strong smell of wine wafted out through the crack in the door.

Through the crack in the door, the sneaky figure peered into the room. I saw seven or eight empty wine bottles lying messily on the ground, and Xiao Zhihan, who was full of decadence, was leaning on the edge of the collapse, his face was a little drunk. He also held a jug of wine in his hand and poured it into his stomach like drinking water.

After watching for a long time, seeing that Xiao Zhihan's frustrated appearance did not seem to be fake, the sneaky figure outside the house quietly retreated and slipped out of the side door of the Ming Palace.

In the palace, Xiao Deyong's bedroom.

At this time, Xiao Deyong had already fallen asleep with the concubines in the harem, but tonight, he couldn't sleep anyway.

Although Yan Xi's expression and words didn't seem to be fake, there was always a little uncertainty in his heart. Without news from outside the palace, it was really difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

"Your Majesty, you can rest first! When the news from outside the palace comes, the old slave will wake you up again. Seeing Xiao Deyong walking around restlessly in the dormitory, Yang Gonggong couldn't help but persuade.

"In this situation, how can I sleep!" Xiao Deyong stopped and glanced at Yang Gonggong, and said impatiently.

Restlessly taking two steps forward, Xiao Deyong turned around, looked at Gonggong Yang, and asked, "Have all the people in the city defense camp been arranged?" ”

Gonggong Yang nodded and said, "It's all arranged, just wait for the emperor's order, and they will immediately break into the Ming Palace's mansion to arrest people." ”

"That's good, that's good!" Xiao Deyong said in a low voice, a hanging heart, finally let go a little.

If the things that happened in the imperial study today were really deliberately pretended by Yan Xi in order to save Xiao Zhihan, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

As long as the news from outside the palace comes in and makes him find out that what Yan Xi said today is half a lie, he will immediately order that the people from the city defense camp will copy the Ming Palace, and detain Xiao Zhihan secretly. Then, bring Yan Xi into the palace and let her taste it well, the price of deceiving the king of a country.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the news from outside the palace has not reached the palace. The impatience on Xiao Deyong's face became more and more obvious. Impatiently walked back and forth in the dormitory twice, Xiao Deyong looked at Yang Gonggong and said with a grim face, "Don't wait, let the people in the city defense camp do it immediately!" ”

Gonggong Yang nodded yes, and prepared to go out of the palace to deliver the decree.

But as soon as Gonggong Yang opened the door of Xiao Deyong's dormitory, he saw a panting chamberlain running over. As soon as the chamberlain saw Grandpa Yang, he hurriedly shouted loudly, "Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Yang!" ”

"Shouting outside the emperor's bedroom, what kind of system!" Gonggong Yang glared at the waiter and said dissatisfiedly.

The chamberlain took a few breaths and slowed down a little before he said to Gonggong Yang, "Father-in-law, a message from outside the palace is here!" ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Yang's eyes lit up, looked at the waiter, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter?" ”

"Here." The chamberlain took out a letter from his arms and respectfully handed it to Gonggong Yang.

Gonggong Yang took the letter, turned back to Xiao Deyong's bedroom, handed the letter to Xiao Deyong, and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from outside the palace." ”

Xiao Deyong eagerly opened the letter and looked at the contents of the letter. After reading it, Xiao Deyong's impatience and anxiety all dissipated, and a somewhat reassuring smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, but there is good news?" Seeing Xiao Deyong's expression, Gonggong Yang asked softly.

Xiao Deyong put away the letter and instructed Gonggong Yang, "Send someone to spread the word and let everyone in the city defense camp go back!" ”

**

Outside the palace, the Ming Palace, in the Mufeng Garden.

Changed into clean clothes, Ye Xin'er, who was covered with wound medicine all over her body, lay on the bed and slept a little unsteadily. Yan Xi took a special soothing incense and lit it for her. Smelling the smell of soothing incense, Ye Xin'er, who had been talking in her dreams in a daze, finally gradually quieted down and fell asleep.

After carefully examining Ye Xin'er's wounds and making sure that they were all bandaged, Yan Xi stood up and walked outside the house.

In the courtyard, Feiluan was waiting for Yan Xi.

When she was in the front hall before, she saw Yan Xi and Feiying and the others confronting each other, and in order to prevent the situation from becoming more serious, she had to pull out Ye Xin'er to relieve the siege. How much Yan Xi cares about Ye Xin'er is something they all know. As long as Ye Xin'er said that she was looking for Yan Xi, then Yan Xi would definitely leave the front hall immediately.

But Ye Xin'er didn't wake up, Yan Xi knew it when she saw it. Therefore, she waited here for Yan Xi to investigate her for the crime of deception. What's more, some of the suspicions in her heart also need to be further verified.

"You deliberately called me here, do you have something to say to me?" Yan Xi looked at Feiluan and raised her eyebrows and asked.

When she was in the front hall, if it weren't for Feiluan saying that Ye Xin'er was looking for her, she would never have left so quickly. But after arriving at Mufeng Garden, she found that Ye Xin'er had not woken up at all.

If Feiluan only wanted to temporarily separate her from the front hall, after she arrived at Mufeng Garden, Feiluan could leave on her own. But she spent a lot of time checking Ye Xin'er's wounds, and after she came out, Feiluan was still waiting in the yard.

If it weren't for something he wanted to say to her, Feiluan wouldn't have had to do it.

Remembering that when she was in the front hall before, Feiluan didn't confront her with Feiying and the others, Yan Xi couldn't help asking, "Aren't you most concerned about your prince?" Why didn't you do it when I hurt him in the front room? ”

Feiluan heard the ridicule in Yan Xi's words, and the suspicion in his heart was gradually verified. Looking directly at Yan Xi, Feiluan's expression did not change, and said, "Since the prince gave Feiluan to the princess, no matter what happens to the prince and the princess in the future, Feiluan will only have one master, the princess." ”

"Really?" The corners of Yan Xi's eyes were slightly raised, and he asked in disbelief, "What if I let you kill Xiao Zhihan?" ”

Feiluan looked up at Yan Xi and didn't answer.

"Didn't you say in the previous sentence that I am the only master? Why, this statement is invalid in the blink of an eye? Yan Xi snorted lightly and said with a bit of mockery.

Feiluan met Yan Xi's gaze and said with great certainty, "The princess has no intention of taking the prince's life, so why should she test Feiluan with this?" ”

"How do you know I don't want to take his life?" Yan Xi's eyes were stained with a three-point smile, and he looked at Feiluan and asked.

Feiluan's face also had a smile on his face, but he just looked at Yan Xi, but he didn't speak.

After staring at each other for a long time, Yan Xi said to Feiluan, "Help me take care of Ye Xin'er and Yu Yang." ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Xi returned to the room, changed into a night suit, and walked out again. Seeing Feiluan looking at her with a smile, Yan Xi paused and asked, "Where is Xiao Zhihan at this time?" ”

"Fengqi Pavilion." After Feiluan said this, he stretched his waist and entered Ye Xin'er's house.

Mu Fengyuan's mechanism was designed by Yan Xi herself, even if she didn't turn off the main switch, she could pass through this mechanism array as if she were in a no-man's land. The flying shadow who didn't hear the movement in Mufeng Garden, still guarded outside Mufeng Garden, but he didn't know that Yan Xi had already climbed out of the courtyard wall on one side of Mufeng Garden.

As soon as you enter Fengqi Pavilion, you will be greeted by a strong smell of wine. Smelling this smell, Yan Xi couldn't help frowning. Looking around, he walked towards the only room on the second floor with the light on, and the more he walked in, the stronger the smell of wine became, and a wave of anger gradually rose in Yan Xi's heart.

This Xiao Zhihan, he really can't die! His body is like that, where dare he let him drink like this.

Through the crack in the door, looking at Xiao Zhihan who was drunk and the wine bottles all over the ground, Yan Xiqi kicked open the door.

"Xiao Zhihan, if you don't want to live, just say it, I will personally send you to see Lord Yama!" Yan Xi walked up to Xiao Zhihan, slapped away the wine bottle he was holding in his hand, and said angrily.

Xiao Zhihan was already seven points drunk at this time, and when he saw Yan Xi, who was glaring at him angrily, Xiao Zhihan hooked the corners of his mouth, and a smile overflowed on his face. moved his lips, and a sentence with a little grievance overflowed from his mouth, "Yan Xi, you're here!" ”

Seeing that Yan Xi didn't speak, Xiao Zhihan reached out and touched the wine bottle beside him again. After touching for a long time, all he touched were empty bottles, and Xiao Zhihan waved all those wine bottles to the ground with a somewhat angry flick of his sleeves.

After shaking down all the wine bottles around him, Xiao Zhihan got up and staggered to look for wine again. He had only taken three or two steps forward when he accidentally stepped on a wine bottle lying across the ground, nearly slipping him on.

Seeing this, Yan Xi got up and ran quickly towards Xiao Zhihan, holding him dangerously before he fell.

Xiao Zhihan's vision was blurred, and when he saw Yan Xi who was a little helpless in front of him, he stretched out his hand and hugged Yan Xi tightly in his arms.

Yan Xi didn't dodge, just let Xiao Zhihan hold him.

After a long time, Xiao Zhihan's voice came from Yan Xi's ears. If it weren't for Xiao Zhihan attaching to her ears at this time, I'm afraid she would have missed it.

"I'm sorry."

After saying this, Xiao Zhihan's body sank, and he was completely drunk.

Yan Xi sighed lowly, supported Xiao Zhihan, and moved him to the bed little by little. He also brought clean water from the yard and gave him a simple scrubbing.

After thinking about it, Yan Xi sneaked back to Mufeng Garden and took the antidote medicine and soothing incense. gave Xiao Zhihan the hangover medicine and lit the soothing incense.

After everything was cleaned up, Yan Xi also let out a thin sweat. After refilling the water and cleaning it briefly, Yan Xi walked to the table, lay on the table, and fell asleep lightly.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Xiao Zhihan slowly opened his eyes. The dizziness caused by the hangover made him frown.

Smelling the soothing incense in the room that had not yet dissipated, Xiao Zhihan's face turned cold, and his eagle-like eyes looked around. When he saw the figure asleep on the table, all the defense in his eyes dissipated, and it was replaced by a ray of warmth, which flowed from the bottom of his eyes to his heart.

got up, walked to Yan Xi's side gently, bent down slightly, and hugged Yan Xi, who was lying on the table and fell asleep.

When she noticed someone approaching, Yan Xi frowned a little uneasily. It was probably because she was already familiar with Xiao Zhihan's breath, so she didn't wake up immediately. But when Xiao Zhihan picked her up, the vigilance she had developed for many years made her open her eyes immediately, and the bottom of her eyes was like a sharp blade, glowing with cold light.

Seeing such Yan Xi, Xiao Zhihan's face crossed a trace of distress. whispered in Yan Xi's ear, "Sleep, it's me." ”

Hearing this, Yan Xi's eyes slowly closed, and Xiao Zhihan put her on the bed beside her. I rolled over, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
