Zhou Hanyi's body shuddered as if he was struck by lightning, shaking like a sieve, but he still refuted.

"How can my small temple bear the worries of a big Buddha like you? You'd better go somewhere cooler!"

"Hey, you're quite good at talking, little girl!

Okay, then I really shouted - come here, come and see, there is a 'hero' who is trying to run away! Come..."

Liu Yaoyao deliberately lengthened her voice, looking like she was enjoying the fun.

When Zhou Hanyi heard this, she was so frightened that her soul almost flew away. She quickly turned into a gust of wind and covered Liu Yaoyao's mouth with lightning speed, as she was about to "speak disaster out of her mouth".

His face was filled with a smile that showed "harmony brings wealth".

"Princess Chen, Princess Chen! Can you please be more gracious and stop shouting?"

Liu Yaoyao blinked proudly and slowly moved Zhou Hanyi's hand away from her mouth.

He even patted his collar in disgust, as if something dirty had touched it.

"Look at you, you're so cowardly, do you still need me to guess? You must have seen that the former prince's ship was about to sink, so you were busy looking for a lifebuoy!"

When Zhou Hanyi's secrets were exposed, her cheeks instantly turned red like ripe apples, but she still had to pretend to remain calm.

"Who... who said that! I was... I was going... to take a walk, yes, a walk!"

"Walking? I see you're planning to 'walk' to the horizon!"

Liu Yaoyao exposed it bluntly and then changed the subject.

"But, I am a soft-hearted person, and I originally intended to be a hero and save the beauty.

And now you want to turn the tables and call me a thief?

Humph, shout as loud as you can to attract King Han's royal guards, and then we'll die together.

However, my prince is very smart. He has already jumped out of King Han's Five Finger Mountain. When the time comes,

My life is definitely more valuable than yours, a 'deserter'. Tell me, who of us will go to heaven first and drink Meng Po soup?"

After saying this, Liu Yaoyao pretended to sigh deeply.

That expression and that tone, he looked like a hero who was about to sacrifice his life for justice.

Zhou Hanyi almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and the tension in her heart dissipated a lot.

"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you! How about this, we both take a step back, you help me get out, and I'll reward you handsomely in the future, how about that?"

Zhou Hanyi finally compromised, with a sly look in his eyes.

Liu Yaoyao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

It was as if Columbus had discovered the New World of America, with a playful smile on his face.

"Oh, your promise of 'rewarding me handsomely in the future'.

Why does it sound so much like the scene in a storybook, where the young man wants to elope with me?

Come on, come on, tell me, how many acres of fertile land and a few tiled houses do you plan to exchange for a beautiful and intelligent flower protector like me?"

Zhou Hanyi's cheeks turned red after being teased by her.

But he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the tension in his heart instantly dissipated a lot.

She pretended to be calm and said, "Miss Liu, it would be a waste of your imagination if you don't write a storybook.

However, since you said so, I, Zhou Hanyi, will shamelessly entrust you with the important task of protecting the flower today. But..."

Liu Yaoyao waved her hand, interrupting her, with an expression that said "I understand".

“It’s just that, with your skinny arms and legs, you can’t even catch a chicken if you escape from the mansion, let alone any earth-shattering plans.

But don't be afraid, since I have decided to get involved in this mess, I am naturally well prepared.

We have to outsmart them, not fight head-on!"

After saying that, Liu Yaoyao took out a crumpled drawing from her arms and unfolded it mysteriously.

"Look, this is the topographic map of Ling Mansion that I drew overnight. Combined with the intelligence I have gathered from lurking around Ling Muxiao for many years, we can definitely come up with a 'Ling Mansion Great Escape and Jedi Counterattack Plan'.

As for Ling Muxiao, hehe, I have a trick to make him behave, maybe even get him to help us!"

Zhou Hanyi widened his eyes and looked at the drawing full of circles and crosses, feeling both surprised and impressed.

"Yaoyao, you...are you going to turn Ling Mansion into your own maze game?"

"Huh, that's a must!

I am a well-known "wise guy", so it shouldn't be a piece of cake for me to navigate the Ling Mansion?"

Liu Yaoyao patted her chest triumphantly, then put on a serious expression again.

“However, this matter requires long-term planning. We need to find a secluded place first and make a careful plan.

Oh, I remember there is an abandoned woodshed in the backyard, no one usually goes there, let’s hold the combat meeting there!”

The two girls tiptoed through the corridors of Ling Mansion like agents on a secret mission.

From time to time they make exaggerated movements and expressions, fearing that others don't know that they are doing something big.

The servants and maids passing by all cast puzzled glances at them, wondering if these two were up to something again.

Arriving at the woodshed, the two worked hard and finally set up a simple but "strategic" operations room.

Liu Yaoyao picked up a branch as a baton, pointed at the drawing and muttered to herself.

"First, we have to do this... then this... finally, we have to do a 'Jedi counterattack and kill two birds with one stone'!"

Zhou Hanyi was stunned, yet very excited.

It was as if he had already seen the scene of them successfully escaping from Ling Mansion, turning the tide and reaching the peak of their lives.

She patted Liu Yaoyao's shoulder, with a determined light in her eyes.

"Yaoyao, with you here, I think we can do it!"

Liu Yaoyao had a proud look on her face.

"Of course, don't you see who I am?

But having said that, when we really succeed, you have to agree to one condition of mine.

Accompany me to visit all the food stalls in Beijing. I want to try all the delicacies in the world to make up for the delicious food I missed during these years of lurking!"

"make a deal!"

The moment Zhou Hanyi readily agreed, the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of mysterious contract.

As they smiled at each other, the air was filled with the excitement of "doing something".

Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Yaoyao moved closer to Zhou Hanyi pretending to be mysterious and spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, Concubine Zhou, our alliance is officially formed, right?

Then, should we…"

Zhou Hanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, her curiosity was completely aroused.

"Oh? What?"

Liu Yaoyao chuckled and kept the question in suspense.

"Don't worry, this matter is closely related to our 'Jedi Counterattack Plan'.

Actually, I came here this time to ask you to introduce me to... the Second Prince Ling Muxiao."

"What? You want to see Ling Muxiao?"

Zhou Hanyi was so surprised that she almost jumped up. She didn't expect that Liu Yaoyao's target would be the second prince who was deposed as the crown prince and now everyone was avoiding him.

"Are you sure? He is a hot potato now. Whoever touches him will be in trouble."

Liu Yaoyao didn't take it seriously and acted as if "I have my own clever ideas".

"Oh, Concubine Zhou, you don't know this.

As the saying goes, 'A lean camel is bigger than a horse'. Although the second prince has lost his power now, who knows if he will make a comeback in the future?

This lady is investing in advance. If he ever sits on the throne again, we will be the heroes."

Zhou Hanyi was amused by her words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You are gambling, Liu Yaoyao."

"Isn't life a gamble? How can you win if you don't gamble?"

Liu Yaoyao shrugged, looking indifferent.

“Moreover, I have a hunch that the Second Prince’s fall from power this time is not accidental, and there must be some hidden reason behind it.

If we can help him find out the truth and restore his divine favor, wouldn't our 'Jedi Counterattack Plan' be more secure?"

After hearing what she said, Zhou Hanyi felt that it made some sense and nodded.

"Well, since you said so, I will go all out. But first, you have to tell me, what do you want to do when you meet the Second Prince?"

Liu Yaoyao smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Zhou Hanyi's ear and whispered.

"Actually, this princess wants to...give him a 'big gift'."

"A big gift? What big gift?" Zhou Hanyi became even more curious.

"Hey, well, let's keep this secret for now.

However, don't worry, my 'gift' will definitely impress the Second Prince, and may even make him look at us with new eyes."

After Liu Yaoyao finished speaking, she said no more, looking confident.

Although Zhou Hanyi still had doubts in her heart, seeing Liu Yaoyao was so confident, she decided to trust her once.

The two began to plot how to secretly invite the second prince out, and how to present the mysterious "gift"...
