After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 232 Alluring Fragrance and Assassination (Part 1)

But contrary to Lin Yunche's expectations, Qiaoxue didn't say a word all day.

Qiaoxue wanted to watch a song and dance performance, so Lin Yunche accompanied her; Qiaoxue wanted to drink, so Lin Yunche drank with her. Lin Yunche truly embodied the spirit of "accompanying" to the fullest extent.

As night fell, Qiaoxue stretched and yawned.

She withdrew from the singing and dancing, stood up, and went straight back to her inner room.

Lin Yunche naturally wouldn't follow them inside. Ling'er had already placed his bed and quilt in the main hall. He walked to the bed and collapsed onto it.

"Wanqing, I miss you so much." Lin Yunche quickly drifted off to sleep.

He felt like he hadn't slept for long when he suddenly heard a noise outside the palace gate.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the palace entrance, where a dark figure was loitering.

Lin Yunche tiptoed over and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

"Mr. Yun! Mr. Yun!" the dark figure at the door called out twice.

"Is it Wu Huan?" Lin Yunche asked softly.

Upon hearing the response, Wu Huan immediately said, "Mr. Yun, it's me!"

After saying that, Wu Huan used a key he found somewhere to open the palace gate and then dragged Lin Yunche out.

For some reason, Lin Yunche's legs suddenly went weak, and his whole body fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Wu Huan reacted quickly and caught him on her shoulder, preventing Lin Yunche from falling down and making any noise.

"What's going on!" Alarm bells rang in Lin Yunche's mind.

Wu Huan looked around to make sure no one was there, then turned around and locked the palace gates again before leaving with Lin Yunche.

The two moved quickly through the darkness, thanks to Wu Huan's familiarity with the area.

Lin Yunche was taken back to his room by Wu Huan, and he hadn't yet realized what was going on.

Wu Huan then returned to the night, and Lin Yunche, feeling weak, could only lean against Wu Huan's bed.

"Mr. Yun!" A clear and pleasant voice rang out beside Lin Yunche.

Lin Yunche mustered all his strength to lift his head and look at the somewhat familiar young man in front of him. The young man was no longer on the verge of death as he had been before, and color had returned to his once pale face.

"Are you Wushuang?" Lin Yunche asked with some difficulty.

Wushuang nodded, raised his palm, and there was a pill in the center of his palm.

"Mr. Yun, please take this pill. It will neutralize the poison in your body."

Looking into Wushuang's clear eyes, Lin Yunche didn't think much and directly gestured for Wushuang to feed him the pill.

After taking the pills, Lin Yunche quickly broke into a sweat. His previously weak and sore body gradually regained its strength. Moreover, he felt as if his kung fu had returned.

"You know medicine?" Lin Yunche asked.

Wushuang nodded slightly, "I only know a little, enough to protect myself."

Lin Yunche then noticed that the boy, who had been seriously injured, no longer seemed to be in such a bad state.

Such a serious injury, yet it healed so quickly!
Lin Yunche couldn't help but become curious about Wushuang.

Seeing Lin Yunche staring at her, Wushuang realized something and immediately bowed to Lin Yunche at a ninety-degree angle.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yun, for saving me the other day."

Lin Yunche smiled slightly. Had he somehow formed some strange good karma?
Perhaps it was because he was saved that he tried to save himself.

"Wushuang, can you tell me what's going on now?"

"Why was I poisoned? How did you know I was poisoned!"

"And why did you come to save me at this time?"

Wu Shuang was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer Lin Yunche's series of questions, so he simply pursed his lips and stared blankly at Lin Yunche.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, Lin Yunche stopped asking.

After all, as long as he's in this Snow Mist Palace, what difference does it make where he is?

Just as the two were staring at each other, speechless, a commotion broke out outside the door.

Wushuang opened the door and saw groups of people running towards the palace from time to time outside the courtyard.

"Oh no! Wu Huan has been discovered?" Wu Shuang was worried about Wu Huan's safety and prepared to go check on him. He had just stepped out of the house when he noticed a dark figure approaching him.

“I’ll go with you!” Lin Yunche said.

Wu Shuang shook her head violently, "Mr. Yun, it's too dangerous now. You should stay here and hide for a while."

“You are different from us. We are already dead and worthless. Whether we live or not is not so important anymore.”

Lin Yunche retorted, "You don't have a worthless life!"

Wu Shuang was surprised by Lin Yunche's words and slowly widened her eyes.

"Isn't my life worthless?"

Lin Yunche nodded, then said, "Yes, you don't have a bad life."

"Wu Huan values ​​your life more than his own, so you must live."

Wushuang thought of Wuhuan and slowly lowered her eyes.

"Let's go! Let's go rescue Wuhuan," Lin Yunche said with a smile.

Wushuang suddenly looked up, his previously dull eyes regaining their light. Yes! How could his life be considered a worthless life! His life belonged to Wuhuan.

"Okay!" After Wushuang finished speaking, she handed Lin Yunche a mask and took one out for herself.

Lin Yunche did not refuse, and the two put on their masks in tacit agreement.

Lin Yunche was surprised to find that they had completely transformed into different people.

This kid can actually disguise himself!

Wushuang was worried about Wuhuan's situation, so he walked very fast, and Lin Yunche followed behind him at a similar pace.

When the two arrived at the palace, they found that a fire had broken out inside.

The people standing at the door just stood there, staring blankly, as if they were witnessing something sacred being destroyed.

"Wu Huan!" Wu Shuang disregarded the fire and rushed into the palace.

But the palace doors were locked, and he couldn't break through them no matter how many times he tried.

Lin Yunche turned around and shouted, "Can't you see there's a fire inside?"

"Open the door!"

One of the male prostitutes holding the key suddenly burst into laughter.

Lin Yunche looked at the key in his hand and tried to snatch it, but the male prostitute swallowed the key, suffocating him.

He's dead, he's dead. He swallowed the key.

The male prostitutes around him reacted in various ways to this scene, but soon cheers erupted.

"Great! Great!"

"We are free! We are free!"

The male prostitutes who were originally staying here rushed out to the courtyard.

They were no longer oppressed by Princess Xueqiao, and they no longer cared whether they were still poisoned.

As long as they live, they will be free.

The Snowy Palace was breached, and they rushed into the streets and alleys. This was the freedom they wanted.

Without the key, Wushuang and Lin Yunche decided to try again to break down the palace door with their bodies.

Once, twice!

The fire in the palace intensified, but the palace gates remained unmoved.

"Wu Huan! Wu Huan!" Wu Shuang pounded on the palace gates in terror, screaming in anguish.

But the only response he received was the crackling sound of burning wood.

Just when Wushuang was in despair, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Wushuang, step aside! Let me handle this."
