"My lord...not that kind of person." Xiao Ji said.

"He treats you so badly, and you still talk to him?" Chen Abao looked puzzled.

"Actually, the lord is alright, anyway, he never loses my salary, he treats me..." Xiao Ji Yue said, his voice became softer.

The air was quiet, and the night was long and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

"Why do you follow His Highness around?" Chen Abao took the initiative to change the subject.

"My family had some relationship with the former chief minister in the early years, so after the former chief minister was convicted, our family was also arrested as his henchman. Compared with those who went to the guillotine and were sent to the frontier, I was luckier. I was assigned to a similar Wangfuya, serving the king." He said slowly, "In order to survive, I can only serve the king wholeheartedly."

"You are single-minded, but people just treat you as..." Chen Abao paused, but did not continue.

"As a dog?" Xiao Ji twitched the corners of his mouth, asking her to say the second half of the sentence.

Chen Abao opened his lips, looking a little sad.

"I..." Xiao Ji's lips parted slightly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, "My name is actually Ji Yuan."

"Far? Ji Yuan..." Chen Abao repeated, "It sounds good."

"Thank you." A blush appeared on Xiao Ji's cheeks.

"Thank you?" Chen Abao patted him on the shoulder, "It's really nice to hear."

Xiao Ji couldn't help bending her lips, smiling brightly.

The two laughed for a moment, and the atmosphere became quiet again.

"Let's go." Chen Abao felt that there was no need to stay any longer, she got up, patted the ashes off her body, and left.

Xiao Ji stared at her back, and he didn't come back to his senses until the other party's figure disappeared around the corner.

*
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was a group of people standing under the attic.

These guards stood upright and guarded the door, looking majestic and dignified.But from the attic behind them came the sound of singing and dancing.

In the dark night, a figure flashed hurriedly.

The figure deftly bypassed the front door and walked all the way to the back door.

The back door of the inn was facing a street. It was midnight at this time, and there were no people on the street.

Compared with the heavily guarded front door, the back door is much quieter, and no one can be seen.

The air was stuffy, causing some thin sweat to break out on his forehead.

The figure froze slightly, but then, as if he had made up his mind, he started to walk towards the back door step by step.

Just when he was about to approach, he turned around and fled from this place.

Almost at the same time, a group of guards suddenly rushed out from around the inn.With long swords in their hands, they hurriedly chased after the figure.

Not wanting that figure to run extremely fast, the chief guard at the head pulled out his long sword from his waist and threw it at the shadow——

Missed!

"Keep chasing!"

The guards rushed forward immediately.

As soon as they left, a beggar tremblingly walked to the inn with a porcelain bowl missing a corner.

Inside the inn, several guards appeared again.

It was Xiao Ji who took the lead.

He looked serious, staring into the deep darkness.

"Master Xiao Ji, that person is agile, he doesn't look like His Royal Highness Qi." Guard A raised his doubts.

"Don't underestimate him." Xiao Ji raised his chin, "He has been practicing martial arts in the Golden Eagle Division, not the kind of trash who knows nothing."

"If you catch him, will you, my lord?" A didn't speak, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"That's inevitable." Xiao Ji said in a low voice, "Your Highness kept Princess Qi, isn't it just to lure King Qi to take the bait, and then catch them all in one go."

He looked into the darkness and felt someone looking at him.

In a blink of an eye, it was a beggar squatting on the corner of the street.

that person……

Xiao Ji frowned.

Sensing his gaze, the beggar picked up the bowl, got up slowly, and walked towards him.

"Get out." Xiao Ji sternly reprimanded.

The beggar flinched and left angrily.

Why did he feel that this person looked like King Qi just now?Xiao Ji felt that he might be crazy.

Those people just now went back and forth, but what they brought back was bad news——

No one was found.

Regarding the failure of his subordinates, Xiao Ji didn't say anything.He let them take turns to rest, and went into the inn by himself.

……

Lin Wei was almost sober. He sat on the rocking chair and let the chair rock him back and forth.

Chen Abao on the side peeled the grapes one by one and put them in his mouth.

"A Bao." Lin Wei closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"The concubine is here."

"In the past few days, do you often visit Princess Qi?"

Chen Abao remained silent and did not reply to him.

"Huh?" A nasal voice gushed out of his nasal cavity.

"Yes." Chen Abao nodded in response.

"Why are you looking for her?" Lin Wei opened his eyes and stared straight at her, "Look into my eyes."

"Seeing that she is struggling, I want to help. After all, she also helped me back then..."

"What did she help you with?" Lin Wei asked.

"Back then, you gave me a cloak..."

"One cloak is worth remembering for so long? Heh~ I will give you ten pieces when you return to Beijing." Lin Wei raised his hand, pinched her nose, and twisted it.

"It hurts." Chen Abao patted his hand away.

"Heh~" Lin Wei smiled happily.

"My lord, why are you so nice to He Caijun?" Chen Abao suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask this?" Lin Wei became a bit vigilant seriously.

"Then why do you ask me that I am so good to Princess Qi? Besides, what I said is true. Xiao Ji has done many things for you, but you have not treated him that well. On the contrary, you promised He Caijun fame, status and money ,I do not understand."

"You understand, it's strange." Lin Wei rubbed her head lovingly, "The two of them, one is just a dog, and the other is an important ally of this king, they are completely different in nature."

Chen Abao turned his head sideways, with a blank expression on his face.

"You just need to remember that Ji Gou and those guards are all my king's dogs. My king's dogs, whatever I ask them to do, they have to do." Lin Wei said, "They didn't The right to resist. Even if this king wants them to die immediately, they can only do so."

For a moment, Chen Abao felt that they were very pitiful, but when he thought of his tragic death of her husband, she felt no pity for them in an instant.

"A Bao, why did you think of asking this?" Lin Wei asked her with a smile.

"It just occurred to me suddenly." Chen Abao lowered his head and continued to peel grapes for him.

"Don't worry, this king doesn't treat you like a dog." Lin Wei held her head, brought her to him, and bit her lip deeply.

Chen Abao groaned in pain, and was overwhelmed by it the next moment.

Inside the house, there were indescribable panting sounds from men and women.

Outside, Xiao Ji stood at the door, feeling cold all over.

The guard standing at the door watching the night didn't look very good either.

"Don't say I've been here." Xiao Ji said quickly in a low voice.

The two guards nodded, expressing their understanding.

This toss, then toss for a long time.

In the early morning, the sky turned white.

Chen Abao dragged his tired body and walked out of the room.

Opening the door is a breath of fresh air.

"Ma'am." The guard outside the door saw her coming out and hurriedly saluted.

"Hush." ​​Chen Abao put his index finger in front of his lips.

Her face was ruddy, her eyes were slightly blurred, like a fairy.

The two guards hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.

Chen Abao didn't pay attention to the changes in the expressions of the two of them. She walked to the corridor outside the inn, stared at the not-so-bright sky, and stared blankly for a while.

Fu Sheng, am I doing the right thing?
She put her hand on her chest, and every time Lin Wei touched her, it made her feel sick.

She felt that she really couldn't hold on anymore.

"Ma'am, Ye Liang."

Chen Abao was still immersed in the pain, and suddenly felt warm in his body.

As soon as she turned around, Xiao Ji was looking down at herself.

His eyes were gloomy, making it hard to see what was going on in his mind.

"Xiao Ji." Chen Abao tried his best to hold up a smile.

"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh." Xiao Ji said.

Chen Abao's face froze, her eyes flickered, and she flinched in the night wind.

"Ma'am, you asked me why I have been staying with His Royal Highness. What about you?" he asked.

"I... naturally because of survival. I'm a widow, I need money, I need someone to support me..." Chen Abao pulled her lips hard, but her smile was too ugly.

She knew that this time was the best time to win over Xiao Ji.She had to do something to make the relationship between the two of them closer.

Although, this made her feel very tormented.

Xiao Ji's lips parted slightly, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

He has an inexplicable urge to say something like "I support you".

But after calming down, he found that there was not much intersection between them.

Although he had a slight affection for her, that affection was not enough for him to promise her anything.

"Xiao Ji, what do you want to say?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Chen Abao decided to take the initiative.

Xiao Ji shook his head.

"Then go back and have a good rest." Chen Abao said, "You have worked so hard all day."

She took off the cloak and put it back on him.

Xiao Ji is tall, and Chen Abao needs to stand on tiptoe when putting on the cloak for him.

The woman in front of her has a bumpy figure, and she is very close to him.Xiao Ji could even smell a faint fragrance.

His heart beat faster and faster, thumping...

Chen Abao clenched his hands slowly, staggered, and fell into his arms.

Xiao Ji caught her off guard and hugged her.

Her body... so soft...

Xiao Ji licked his lips subconsciously, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"I'm sorry." Chen Abao hurriedly pushed him away, her pretty face flushed slightly.

"No...it's okay..." Xiao Ji was also a little flustered.

Chen Abao carefully raised his eyes to look at him, then immediately lowered his head.She coughed twice, avoided him, and left without even saying a word in a panic.

She went straight back to the room and lay down carefully beside Lin Wei.

"Where did you go?" Lin Wei turned over and hugged her.

"Go out and get some air." Chen Abao replied blankly.

Lin Wei didn't open his eyes, but the atmosphere around him was very depressed.

Chen Abao inexplicably felt that he seemed to know something, and consciously kept silent.

……

It was bright, and Cheng Muqing woke up naturally.

She let out a big breath, squirmed on the ground, and sat up.He lazily picked up a bowl of water and rinsed his mouth.

The current environment is bad, so she doesn't care about her image anymore, she just rinsed her mouth casually, wiped her face with water, and it was over.

Coincidentally, just as she was about to lie down and wander, the door opened.

Lin Wei was wearing elegant and luxurious clothes. He was tall and handsome.If he hadn't done those bad things, Cheng Muqing might have thought he was handsome.

"His Royal Highness Wanan~" Cheng Muqing greeted him casually.

"Cheng Muqing." Lin Wei laughed, "Lin Heng is here, he is here to save you."

"How do you know that it's my prince who is here?" Cheng Muqing found a comfortable place and leaned up.

Jinxi, who was on the side, stayed beside her nervously.

"Last night, a person in night clothes came to this inn. He wanted to enter through the back door, but when he saw the person I arranged, he ran away..."

"Good run!" Cheng Muqing nodded approvingly, "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood!"

Lin Wei knew that she had a big heart and didn't care about anything.But I didn't expect it to be this big.

Just don't care at all, who is that person?

"His Royal Highness, is there anything else?" Cheng Muqing asked him, "No, just go back. I still want to sleep."

"Don't worry, you will always sleep in the future." Lin Wei squatted in front of her, pinching her sharp face.

Her face was pale, but her eyes were piercing.

"In a few days, your good days will be over."

"I'm so scared~" Cheng Muqing showed a terrified look, "Can you make me die more beautifully? In this way, when the prince comes back from the capital, he can easily find me and won't scare them. My mother is a very perfect woman. Woman...she will definitely not be able to bear seeing my miserable death."

"You can talk about these things in the underworld." Lin Wei sneered and pushed her aside.

"Okay~" Although Cheng Muqing was thrown to the ground, she could still raise her head and smile at him.

Her smile was full of provocation.

"Enjoy your last moments."

Lin Wei clapped his hands, and Imperial Physician Wang walked in from the door with medicine in his hand.

Cheng Muqing sensed something was wrong, but he didn't show it on his face.

Physician Wang walked towards her, took the medicine in one hand, and imprisoned her chin with the other, pouring it into it.

"What are you doing!" Jin Xi bumped her head on Wang Taiyi's waist.

Physician Wang said "Ouch" and shook his hand, the bowl fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"I've been taking this medicine for a long time!" Doctor Wang exclaimed angrily, with his hands on his hips, he muttered in a low voice, "Do you know how hard it is to find my herbal medicine that can make people feel weak?"

Cheng Muqing's eyes trembled, and he stood there quietly.

"Did she drink?" Lin Wei approached.

Seemingly worried about what he would do to his concubine, Jinxi knelt down and crawled in front of Cheng Muqing, using her small body to block in front of the two of them.

"Cheng Muqing?" Lin Wei pretended not to see her.

Cheng Muqing moved his body, but in the next second, his body tilted and he fell straight to the ground.

"Princess!" Jinxi suddenly panicked.

Although her hands were tied, she could still show her fingers.

She used her trapped hands to shake Cheng Muqing. Cheng Muqing opened his eyes slightly, but he couldn't even support his arms for a long time.

Lin Wei nodded in satisfaction before leaving.

Cheng Muqing opened his eyes only after everyone left.

"king!"

"Hush." ​​Cheng Muqing hurriedly stopped it.

It seems that Wang just left, she doesn't want to recruit him again.

Jinxi choked for a moment, then hiccupped for a moment.

Doctor Wang did it on purpose.

Cheng Muqing clearly realized that, including the porcelain bowl that he fell to the ground because of shaking hands, he had deliberately arranged it.

She silently picked up a relatively complete and sharp piece of porcelain from the ground and hid it in her sleeve.
