In the evening, the group rested in the nearest city.

As the night grew darker and the stars twinkled outside the window, Xiao Yunheng pushed the door open and found Wei Ning quietly.

"Yo, what are you doing here?"

Wei Ning was lying on the bed, thinking about the day's affairs, but he didn't expect Xiao Yunheng to come over.

He sat up with a playful smile.

At that time, he only thought that this jealous jar had flared up again, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and only after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.

When he mentioned the temple, Xiao Yunheng reacted so strongly, could it be that he knew something.

The purpose of Xiao Yunheng driving himself out of the car must be to not let that girl Lu Xiyue know the reason.

"What you saw and heard in the temple, no matter what, don't tell Ah Yue." Xiao Yunheng cut straight to the point.

Wei Ning smiled cheerfully, and said in his heart, "It's not that I insist on contradicting you, you and I are barely allies, so why do we have to hide it from her?"

It's just a similar face. Could it be that there are other ulterior motives?

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a bit of scrutiny.

"As long as you don't tell me, I can help the gentry get their wrongs rehabilitated." Xiao Yunheng threw out a bait.

Wei Ning's smile froze slightly.

The matter of his Wei family is no different than Ning Wang's mansion, nor is it the Duke's mansion. It has only been three or two years, and that is already 15 years ago.

Xiao Yunheng was willing to take this as a condition. It seems that there must be a secret in the murals of the temple.

Wei Ning thought clearly and became more curious.

"I didn't expect that you would be willing to spend such a capital. Why don't you tell me what secrets are hidden in it, and I'll think about it."

Xiao Yunheng raised his head and smiled faintly.

The young man is handsome, but the smile doesn't reach his eyes, "You probably don't want to know."

Knowing that his miserable life over the years is not predestined, but man-made, no one can accept it in a short time.

After hearing what Lu Xiyue said at that time, the first thing that rose in his heart was hatred, followed by happiness.

Prince Ning's mansion is loyal, and in the end it is just to pave the way for the protagonists in the story, and they have to spend their lives.

This is really unfair to him.

Fortunately, he has Ah Yue.

It is also a blessing in misfortune.

Wei Ning has no malice towards them, he has helped them several times, just as he said, he can be regarded as an ally.

Tell him it's all right.

However, after thinking for a while, Wei Ning waved his hands and said: "Forget it, you just need to tell me that hiding this matter will do no harm to that girl."

It's not easy to get justice for his gentry.

He has already killed an enemy, as well as Yao Xiangye, as for the others, Wei Ning has no such plan.

The struggle for imperial power is endless, once you fall into this vortex, it is difficult to get out of it.

He had planned a long time ago that after killing Yao Xiang's family, he would be an idle businessman and travel around the world, wouldn't it be wonderful.

"This matter is not harmful to her, but if she finds out, it will only increase her troubles." Xiao Yunheng explained honestly.

The same face, also from another world.It's hard not to guess whether there is any connection between the two.

Hearing this, Wei Ning gave him a meaningful look.

"Forget it, since that's the case, I'll listen to you."

Who made Lu Xiyue her savior? Speaking of which, he still owed thousands of taels of silver.

As the price for keeping the secret, he will not give the thousand taels of silver.

Wei Ning made a proper calculation in his heart.

"Thank you." Xiao Yunheng raised his hands and turned to leave.

Wei Ning rubbed his nose, feeling inexplicably gratified that Xiao Yunheng valued Lu Xiyue so much.

Glad?

He immediately sat up straight, somewhat puzzled by his words.

Soon, Wei Ning figured it out, this girl Lu Xiyue, he came to see her as a younger sister, and her younger sister found a good husband-in-law, as an older brother, wouldn't he be pleased?

Wei Ning, who had silently called himself Lu Xiyue's elder brother, curled his lips, and decided to find a way to get that little girl to call him big brother tomorrow.

According to seniority, he is called eldest brother, but he is Xiao Yunheng's brother-in-law.

In the blink of an eye, it's already the beginning of autumn, and it's been ten days since several people entered Daxia territory, and they will be able to rush back to the capital in about four or five days' journey.

It is a rare leisure time. Their drive is not slow, and when they are free, they can enjoy the local customs and customs when they settle in the city at night, and they can also see the scenery along the way during the day. .

At the same time, in the quietest Shuo Palace in the capital, more than a dozen black shadows sneaked in silently.

Ji Wuhen, who looked a little haggard, held a sachet in his hand, his face was pale, and his eyes were slack.

The sachet was given to him by Yao Xinyu, embroidered by her own hands, and inside it was the amulet she begged for him in the temple.

"Your Highness, my condolences." Seeing him like this, the guards at the side couldn't help persuading him.

"Sorrow?" Ji Wuhen's eyes were sharp, and his hand holding the sachet tightened suddenly, "Yu'er was killed by them, and even brought the child in her womb, but I haven't been able to avenge her, how can I express my condolences?" ?”

The guard's lips moved, trying to say something, but he didn't speak in the end.

Twelve hours ago, Ji Wuhen received a secret letter to hurry up.

The sender was unidentified, wearing a black robe and a hideous mask on his face, and handed him a letter written by Yao Xinyu himself.

This last blood letter is also a suicide note.

Between the lines, it described how she was coaxed out of the city by Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng, and ended up being imprisoned.

The first sentence of the letter was: "Third Highness, when you read this letter, the child and I have already been separated from you by two worlds..."

At that moment, his head was in a daze.

He remembered that Yao Xinyu was in the palace, how could he be assassinated.

After sending people to inquire, they found out that as early as two months ago, Yao Xinyu was sent out of the capital by the Empress Dowager's people, and went to a house outside the city to recuperate.

The queen mother thought that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, causing people to discuss it. After all, the royal blood should not be criticized.

She is planning to hand over to other princes to be raised in the future, anyway, they are of the same blood.

"I know she lied to me many times, but she is my wife and she is pregnant with my child. How could I pretend that she didn't know that she was killed so unknowingly."

He gave himself a reason, a reason to break out of the cage that imprisoned him.

The guard lowered his body, and felt displeased with this reason. After all, the fate of their lord had something to do with Yao Xinyu, a woman.

But if he can cheer up the prince and fight for himself, as a subordinate, he should go all out.

Not long after, more than a dozen men in black appeared in the room.

"Reporting to the prince, the deployment in the city has been completed, but something went wrong in the palace."
