Xu Yixing observed carefully and found that among these people, those who made the beds and folded the quilts were all dressed in the palace uniforms, while those who were responsible for sweeping the floor and placing vases and utensils were dressed like palace servants from the outer palace. There was an old maid in charge of the overall command.

If she guessed correctly, these palace servants were sent by a noble to clean up the outer palace in advance. So they could only be from the royal family, such as the queen or the prince.

Because although the officials lived with the emperor in the outer palace, they were not allowed to bring their own luggage. After all, they came directly from the palace on the other side of the altar, so at most they could bring some underwear, and it was impossible for them to bring out even a vase.

But why so late?

You have to know that tomorrow is the wedding day. Generally, if there is a big event in the palace, preparations must be made at least one month in advance. Things like bedding must be prepared three days in advance.

Could it be that he is an unfavored master who was temporarily arranged here?

Although he was very reluctant, a name popped up in Xu Yixing's mind at the first moment: Oh my God, could this be Lu Anyuan's residence?

No, no, no, these vases and glass screens are obviously not Lu Anyuan's style.

Thank God, the owner of the house is probably a woman.

Soon the palace servants cleaned up everything in the hall, lit incense in the incense burner in the middle, and then left. They didn't move in my direction at all, it seemed that someone had told them not to open the cabinet in advance.

Not long after the palace servants left, there was some more noise outside the door. Xu Yixing took a look through the crack and immediately shrank back into the corner of the cabinet and pretended to be dead.

It’s the person who just tied me up!

There seemed to be someone behind him, but Xu Yixing didn't dare to look any longer. Fortunately, he didn't let Ying Jiu stay here, otherwise this master would definitely be discovered if he was here.

The man opened the lock, took Xu Yixing out and threw her on the ground, then carefully looked through her knot.

"The knot remains the same. No one has moved it."

That person seemed to be reporting to another person. Xu Yixing broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this: He even checked the knots. He is indeed a powerful character.

"Okay." The man looked at Xu Yixing, who was lying face down on the ground, and said in a playful voice, "Ms. Xu, stop pretending. I know you are not unconscious."

It sounds familiar, but not familiar, maybe it's like I've met him once or twice.

Xu Yixing moved cooperatively, but still closed his eyes and struggled internally: I think you don’t want to be seen!

If you see this, wouldn’t it be considered murder to silence the witness?

"Haha! Miss Xu, do you think I don't want you to see me? In fact, I am very happy for you to see me."

After saying that, the expert lifted Xu Yixing from behind and made her sit up instead of lying down. Xu Yixing had no choice but to open her eyes a little. Seeing this, she was so frightened that her eyes widened.

"Woo woo woo!" Xu Yixing called out a name, but unfortunately she forgot that her mouth was still blocked.

The expert took the cloth out of her mouth, and she had the chance to call out again: "Fourth Prince?"

The man who came was Lu Anyuan’s biological brother, Concubine Ying’s adopted son, and the legendary spokesperson for the Second Prince.

So the reason he is here must be because he was instructed by the Second Prince.

"Hello, Miss Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know how you are doing. I hope you don't mind bringing you here today."

Why is the Fourth Prince talking so funny? He kidnapped someone and still hopes that they don't mind. He is really a smiling tiger.

"Your Highness, why did you tie me up?"

The Fourth Prince squatted down and looked at Xu Yixing at eye level, showing an apologetic expression: "I have no choice but to accept your request."

"Who is it?" Without a doubt, it's the second prince!

"You will be able to see him later. Please forgive me for keeping you in suspense."

"So, you let me see your true face, are you planning to kill me to silence me later?" Xu Yixing has now passed the shock period. Since the Fourth Prince wants him to see him so much, and knows that he is working for the Second Prince, maybe he is trying to distance himself from him.

Xu Yixing had heard that many things that the Second Prince was not convenient to do were done by him. Since everyone was helpless, they had to make it clear that every wrong had its perpetrator and every debt had its creditor.

"Does the Second Miss know where this is?"

Xu Yixing did not answer, but glanced around the room. The Fourth Prince continued, "You are indeed smart. It seems that you already know. After all, you are the princess chosen by father and Madam Jing for my seventh brother. If you die here, it will not be easy to explain."

As he expected, the Fourth Prince kidnapped him for other more sinister purposes.

"Someone doesn't want you to marry my seventh brother, so they did this today. Don't worry, after this is over, I will send you back without losing a single hair."

Oh, really? It just so happens that I don’t want to marry your seventh brother. How about we talk about it? You let me go now and I will go home to sleep?

Of course Xu Yixing did not say these words. Even if he did, the Fourth Prince would not believe it. Instead, he would firmly believe that he was making a living for himself.

"Okay, someone will help you dress up in a moment, just take a rest first."

The Fourth Prince stood up and waved his hand, and the person behind him immediately took out a piece of cloth and covered Xu Yixing's nose.

Xu Yixing was completely unable to react. He only felt his whole body suddenly lighten after inhaling, and his soul and body separated and floated up all of a sudden.

Then she saw the expert untied her hands and feet, but unfortunately she was now completely unable to move and could only watch their next step with a clear mind.

After confirming that Xu Yixing was unable to move, the Fourth Prince took him away, and an old nanny followed him in.

Without saying a word, she called three or four palace maids, who carried her to the bed. Then she changed her clothes and put on makeup. Even the dagger hidden in her shoe was confiscated.

Seeing the dagger, the old lady hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Yixing, who had his eyes wide open and obviously wanted to say something to her. However, remembering her temper, she hardened her heart and continued to put on makeup for her.

Only then did Xu Yixing realize what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. He had just sworn to Ying Jiu that he would not be in danger, but now his mistake had come true. He felt so miserable that he could not even cry.

After putting on this set of makeup, even a fool would know what is waiting for her.

Damn it, the Fourth Prince is planning to make his plan come true and ruin his own reputation!

This was still in the Outer Palace. Even if I was released and rescued afterwards, the rumors alone would be enough to kill me. Not to mention, I would have to explain to everyone how I got into the Outer Palace.

Even if he told the truth, if he was accused of framing the prince, the Xu family might suffer an even more tragic fate than the Sun family.
