Yun Xi had a glimmer of enlightenment in her heart. She understood why she was chosen for the upcoming mission.

It was not because of her stunning beauty, but because of the unique ability she possessed.

Looking at the innocent smile on Yun Xi's face, Yi Han relaxed his guard even though he had some doubts in his heart.

He spoke calmly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice: "Okay, get off the carriage and go back. Aunt Qingyang is already waiting outside. If you stay here for too long, she might start to have wild thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi nodded obediently, lifted the curtain, and saw Aunt Qingyang standing nervously outside the carriage.

She felt warm in her heart, knowing that Aunt Qingyang really cared about her.

Yun Xi got off the carriage, and Aunt Qingyang immediately pulled her into her own carriage.

"Don't be so nervous, you just need to say a few words." Yun Xi chuckled and comforted Aunt Qingyang.

Aunt Qingyang shook her head and said seriously: "There are nobles in the palace. We must be careful and cautious in our actions to avoid being criticized."

Yun Xi looked at Aunt Qingyang, feeling deeply moved.

She remembered that when Aunt Qingyang first came to her, she was a decisive person, but now she has become so cautious.

Yun Xi couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, when did you become so concerned about these things?"

Aunt Qingyang glanced at her indifferently and said softly: "Because I care now."

Yun Xi was stunned, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion surged in her heart.

She hugged Aunt Qingyang's arm tightly and said with a smile: "Aunt, you are always so considerate."

Aunt Qingyang smiled and patted her hands, and the two of them left in the car together.

When Yi Han returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he had a completely different feeling in his mind.

He knew that Liu Banruo would come to him because she understood human hearts.

In this power-hungry age, Chen Jingting was able to become a hero because he was able to seize opportunities.

And Liu Banruo also has his own ambitions and plans.

When Liu Banruo stepped into Lingyun Pavilion, she had another plan in mind. The absence of Chen Xiaoyunxi was good news for her.

She bowed to Yi Han with humility, but there was a shrewd gleam in her eyes.

Yi Han looked at Liu Banruo and said with a half-smile, "I am really flattered that Concubine Liu bows to me."

Liu Prajna smiled slightly and said, "If you have a request to make to the general, you should be polite. As for whether I am Concubine Liu or Consort Liu, isn't it all thanks to the general?"

Yi Han waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's just talk about the terms." Liu Banruo nodded, sat down and began to explain her requirements.

Liu Banruo nodded gently, her voice flowing like a clear spring: "I don't ask for much. After you unlock this lock, you just need to pass a message to the emperor for me, hoping to enter the palace as soon as possible. How you pass the message and what method you use are all your freedom, but I have only one request - do not damage my reputation."

Yi Han looked at her quietly with deep eyes.

Liu Prajna smiled slightly and continued, "I know you have doubts in your heart, but your fate after entering the palace is determined by heaven and has nothing to do with you."

Yi Han pondered for a moment, and finally said: "If you insist, I will agree to your request. But you must keep the secret in the tin a secret."

Liu Prajna nodded, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Of course I understand, how dare I covet the great general's achievements?"

Yi Han looked around to make sure no one was peeping, then he said softly, "This is not a place to stay for long, let's go inside and talk in detail."

He led Liu Prajna into a simple room, which was the room where he was staying temporarily.

That was a portrait that Yi Han had someone draw.

On one wall, there was a scroll painting. The woman in the painting was graceful and charming, and it was Yun Xi.

Yi Han touched the scroll lightly, and the wall slowly moved away, revealing a secret compartment. He took out a dark iron can from it. The can was unusually heavy, as if it contained endless secrets.

Liu Prajna's eyes flickered. She naturally knew that the things in this jar were extraordinary.

Those were the correspondence between the King of Lingnan and the conspiring ministers in the court, and each letter was enough to stir up waves.

She took a deep breath, her eyes determined: "Although this lock is complicated, I am confident that I can unlock it. It just takes some time."

Yi Han placed the tin can on the table and pushed it in front of Liu Prajna: "It's okay, I'll wait for you here."

Liu Banruo smiled slightly and asked Yi Han for some tools: a sharp dagger, a bucket of tung oil, a thick wire, an ordinary key, and a lump of yellow mud.

Yi Han went out and asked Xiao Shou to get these materials.

She suddenly stood up and walked to Yi Han, gently placed her hands on his shoulders, and said with a charming smile: "General, our cooperation is going so smoothly, do you think we can go a step further?"
