"But you appeared here now." That was enough.
He raised his head, looking at the pure and beautiful face, his gaze flickered.
Xue Xingyue stood up and said, "Trust me, wait for me, I will save you."
Looking at the slender back, Qi Yuze knew he had never trusted anyone as much as he did now, but he wanted to believe her just like this.
Seeing Xue Xingyue walk out, Prince Nanping couldn't help but ask, "Did Ze'er agree?"
Xue Xingyue nodded, "Yes, Your Highness can rest assured."
Prince Nanping was somewhat surprised. No matter how he persuaded Ze'er, he was always somewhat dejected. Did this Miss Leng truly resolve everything as soon as she arrived? He didn't believe it and wanted to see for himself. Big Wind Novel
Xue Xingyue also noticed Prince Nanping's disbelief. As she walked out, she said, "I'll wait for Your Highness outside."
Prince Nanping nodded and walked towards Qi Yuze's prison. Seeing Qi Yuze, he had no choice but to believe, because Ze'er's current expression was different from before.
"Ze'er, do you really trust Miss Leng?"
"Miss Leng?" Qi Yuze was somewhat confused.
"The Miss Leng from earlier."
Qi Yuze was certain that this must be a false identity used by the Empress to move freely in the court.
He nodded, "I trust her. If Miss Leng needs anyone or anything, I hope Father can assist her."
"As long as she can save you, I'm willing to empty the Prince Nanping's mansion," Prince Nanping said.
"Father, if there's nothing else, hurry and leave, lest there be prolonged dreams," Qi Yuze said.
Prince Nanping sighed upon hearing this, "Ze'er, live well. Your mother cries tears every day. For your mother's sake, you must persevere."
Thinking of his mother, who was not in good health, Qi Yuze nodded, "Father, don't worry, I will get out."
After leaving the prison, Prince Nanping looked at Xue Xingyue and said, "Thank you, Miss Leng. If you need my assistance, please do not hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will ask if I need anything," Xue Xingyue replied.
Returning to the inn, Zhao Yanluo and Wu Hen were both there. Wu Hen examined her from head to toe and, seeing she had returned unharmed, finally relaxed. "Your Majesty, this servant was so worried about you."
"I'm fine. The Third Prince will not act rashly again after the last incident, so it's safe for now. During this time, we must quickly find evidence of the Third Prince murdering the Second Prince."
Zhao Yanluo was startled, "It was really the Third Prince?"
"Undoubtedly," Xue Xingyue said.
Zhao Yanluo heard this and said, "This makes it even harder to find. After all, the clues at the scene have long since disappeared."
"Not necessarily," Xue Xingyue replied.
"Young Marquis Zhao, don't boost the enemy's morale and dampen our own. There must be something overlooked at the scene," Wu Hen said.
Zhao Yanluo said, "Should I go and look for it then?"
Xue Xingyue heard this and said, "Time is of the essence. Zhao Yanluo, you should stay here obediently."
Zhao Yanluo could only continue to stay. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, if the Third Prince stabbed the Second Prince, what about the knife used?"
Xue Xingyue was stunned and looked at Wu Hen. Wu Hen immediately understood, grabbed the sword on the table, and said, "Your Majesty, wait for this servant to return."
Zhao Yanluo was confused, "Where is Wu Hen going?"
Xue Xingyue said, "To find the knife."
"It's night now, and it will take until the day after tomorrow at the earliest to arrive. Is there enough time?" Zhao Yanluo couldn't help but ask.
"There is enough time," Xue Xingyue replied, looking up at the sky. She continued, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. We'll continue searching for evidence tomorrow."
Zhao Yanluo returned to his room, looked up at the sky, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next day
Zhao Yanluo was woken by the noise outside. He opened his eyes and heard people outside. He opened the door and saw the Empress also coming out. "It's the soldiers."
Zhao Yanluo was startled and looked outside. Indeed, soldiers had surrounded the place.
"What are they doing here?" Zhao Yanluo couldn't help but ask.
"Act according to the situation," Xue Xingyue whispered.
The innkeeper saw that the inn was surrounded and quickly stepped forward respectfully, "Officers, this humble one has been doing business diligently. What is wrong? Please tell me directly, and I will certainly correct it."
The soldiers said, "Someone reported that enemy spies are harbored here, so no one here is allowed to leave their rooms."
Zhao Yanluo heard this and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are they after us?"
Xue Xingyue nodded, grabbed Zhao Yanluo, and closed the door. Zhao Yanluo was stunned by this series of actions. "Your Majesty, you..."
Without explaining, she looked at the back window. No one was there yet. She picked up her bundle and pointed outside, "Can you jump?"
Zhao Yanluo nodded, "Yes."
"Then jump." Saying this, Xue Xingyue had already jumped down.
Zhao Yanluo: "..."
"Jump." Xue Xingyue coldly ordered, looking at Zhao Yanluo from below.
Looking at the high ground, Zhao Yanluo looked reluctant. "This... this is too high."
"Jump quickly," Xue Xingyue urged.
Zhao Yanluo gritted his teeth. Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Guests, open the door!"
Zhao Yanluo gritted his teeth and jumped down.
"Ouch..." Before he could finish speaking, Xue Xingyue covered his mouth. "Are you afraid people won't know you're here?" Xue Xingyue said coldly.
Zhao Yanluo grimaced in pain. Xue Xingyue couldn't bother with it, grabbed him, and ran outside.
A waiter was at the door. Seeing Xue Xingyue and Zhao Yanluo, he looked surprised. "How are you two here?"
Xue Xingyue kicked the waiter away, opened the door, and dragged Zhao Yanluo out, running wildly.
"Those two ran away." The waiter, who was kicked to the ground, clutched his aching leg and shouted.
The soldiers in front heard the sound, pushed the innkeeper aside, came to the backyard, grabbed the waiter by the collar, and asked coldly, "Where are they?"
