Noticing Lu Ye's expression, Feng Sixi frowned immediately, "What are you hiding from this princess?"

"I don't dare. I will never deceive the princess about anything." Lu Ye spoke immediately, and then said, "Princess, I just feel that there is no news from Tianyi Court now. It is better for the princess to return to Beimo as soon as possible. Continue. Waiting here, if something happens to the court, I'm afraid I'll be out of reach."

"But now, the witness is still in the hands of Emperor Tianyi."

"But princess, you are the victim. Even if you really don't have that witness, at the critical moment, you can still speak up and personally testify for the eldest prince, saying that it was the second prince who threatened you and asked him to cooperate with you to frame him." Lu Ye spoke subconsciously. After finishing speaking, his heart thumped and he lowered his head apologetically, "Princess, I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. After all, you came from the eldest brother, and it is reasonable to put the eldest brother first in everything." Feng Sixi's expression became colder, "If there is nothing we can do in the end, this princess will Do that."

But in this way, the trust that he had finally gained in front of Feng Yanmo over the years would be completely destroyed.

Even though the frame-up would make Feng Yanmo dissatisfied with his father and be punished, the other party was his legitimate son after all, and it was impossible to completely cut off the other party's escape path just through this incident.

Therefore, once he reaches this point, what he will face next may be Feng Yanmo's revenge.

"Princess, why don't you go see Emperor Tianyi again? Although for some unknown reason, the eldest prince's letter has not arrived yet. But if we can persuade Emperor Tianyi to hand over the person to us, everything will be back on track." Lu Ye spoke again.

Feng Sixi looked at the other party and nodded after a while, "Have someone deliver a letter to the palace. Just say that this princess wants to see you."

An hour later, news of the summons came to the post house. After Feng Sixi simply changed his clothes, he entered the palace and met Xiao Jinzhi.

After explaining her intention, Feng Sixi had long been prepared to be rejected, but she didn't expect that Xiao Jinzhi just glanced at her and then agreed.

"Is Emperor Tianyi really willing to hand over people to this princess like this? There is no news from the eldest brother yet."

"I didn't intend to be your enemy. In addition, Danyue suddenly proposed a deal. I think there will be endless debates in Northern Mexico. Some things are naturally the simpler, the better." Xiao Jinzhi stopped writing in his hand. , looked at Feng Sixi kindly.

Although he was a little surprised, Feng Sixi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Jinzhi say this.

"Then thank you Emperor Tianyi. Please rest assured Emperor Tianyi, after this princess returns to the imperial city, she will definitely inform the eldest brother of your kindness."

"Okay." Xiao Jinzhi nodded and started writing again.

"I wonder where he is now, this princess..."

"Tonight, in the alley in the west of the city, I will hand it over to the third princess."

"Why?" Feng Sixi frowned.

Xiao Jinzhi raised her lips and smiled, "Under the current circumstances, if the third princess comes to the palace to ask for an audience, there will definitely be countless pairs of eyes staring at her. Are you sure you want to take her away in such a grand manner?"

After Feng Sixi looked at the other party for a moment, she bowed and said, "This princess was in a hurry and didn't think carefully. Thank you Emperor Tianyi."

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes fell on the paper in front of him, "Tonight, princess, remember to bring your confidants with you, and don't let others know."

Feng Sixi left the imperial study. Lu Ye, who was waiting outside, was obviously a little surprised when he learned that Xiao Jinzhi relaxed so easily.

"Princess, Emperor Tianyi really agreed to hand over the person so easily. There can't be any fraud in this, right?"

Feng Sixi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Probably not. Although I feel happy to have agreed, but looking at Emperor Tianyi's appearance just now, it doesn't look like he was planning something."

After hearing what Feng Sixi said, Lu Ye did not continue to question it.

"Princess, I will go pick you up tonight."

"This princess will go with you."

"No." Lu Ye shook his head, "Princess, even if Emperor Tianyi doesn't seem to be plotting something, we still have to guard against it. After all, we are in Tianyi's imperial city. You should stay in the post house and wait for your subordinates. news."

Feng Sixi turned her head and looked at Lu Ye. Seeing the firm look on his face, she stopped insisting.

"Okay, then you must be careful. If anything happens, remember to save your life first."

"Princess, don't worry, my subordinates understand!" Lu Ye nodded immediately.

It's night, approaching midnight.

Lu Ye quietly set out from the post house and arrived at the agreed place on time according to the location marked on the paper.

In the narrow alley, the light was dim, but he could still see two people waiting for him, one of whom had his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged.

"I came to pick you up on the order of the third princess of Bei Mo." Lu Ye revealed his identity.

"Where's the evidence?" the guard who gave it away asked.

Lu Ye took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, stepped forward and handed it to the other party.

It was brought out by the princess when she left Tianyi's study. It was said to be Emperor Tianyi's pen practice as a certificate.

After opening the paper and checking that the content on it was correct, the guard nodded and spoke.

"No problem, I'll leave it to you. My mission has been completed. Be careful when you take him away."

After saying that, the guard turned and left.

"Uh, uh!" The gagged person struggled and motioned for Lu Ye to untie him quickly.

Lu Ye looked at the opponent. However, his hand did not reach for the rope. Instead, he held the short blade in his sleeve and plunged the knife directly into the opponent's heart.

Hearing the movement behind him, the guard who walked out stopped and looked at Lu Ye in surprise.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Ye pulled out the dagger quickly and checked for breath. After confirming that the other party was indeed dead, he looked at the guard coldly.

"What are you doing? You Tianyi Kingdom went back on your word, colluded with the second prince, and used him as bait to lure me here, hoping to capture me as a witness. I resisted with all my strength and killed you, but because I was injured, I didn't have time to save the witness. Let him be silenced by you..."

Lu Ye sneered, staring fiercely at the guard in front of him, approaching him step by step.

The latter immediately drew his sword, but at the moment he drew it, he felt dizzy.

"Stop resisting. I've put some poison on the piece of paper just now. You will definitely die tonight. Otherwise, do you think I would tell you this?"

As he spoke, Lu Ye clenched his dagger and stabbed the guard.

However, before he could reach the opponent, two sharp arrows were shot out, forcing him back.

The next moment, lights lit up in the narrow alley.

Xiao Jinzhi appeared from the alley with a playful tone.

"Your Northern Mo country is really full of talents. A small bodyguard is so well versed in killing people, silencing them, and framing them."
