"Miss, how do you know about the Ghost Killing Sect and the Purple Sky Pavilion?"

"I thought the young lady was just a girl kept in the boudoir, but I never thought she knew all this."

"The Ghost Killing Sect is famous in the martial arts world for killing people without leaving any trace."

"Unfortunately, it's not that easy to invite."

Yun Lan continued, "This Ghost Killing Sect is affiliated with Bai Xiao Tang."

"That day, the young lady was invited by the leader of Bai Xiao Tang. You said that the leader was the Fourth Master."

"If that's the case, then the master behind this Ghost Killing Gate is none other than the Fourth Master?"

Shen Mi gathered her sleeves, holding a teacup in her hand, but her eyes were very cold.

She nodded: "You are right, the master behind the Ghost Killing Gate is indeed Murong Che."

"Otherwise, why do you think the current emperor, the queen, and the crown prince are so afraid of him? Is it because of the military power in his hands?"

"Your Majesty is trying every possible means to make Murong Jing the crown prince, because he is afraid that Murong Che will one day turn the imperial city upside down."

"But then again, His Majesty is a very strange person. On one hand, he is on guard against Murong Che, but on the other hand, he dotes on him to no end."

Shen Mi took a deep breath, "However, the Ghost Killing Sect will naturally not help Yun Jue."

"The assassins from Zixiao Pavilion also come and go without a trace."

"Think of a way to help Yun Jue. We will only guide him and not get involved."

"Afterwards, find someone to leak his appearance to the Imperial City Guards."

"I want Yun Jue to never have the chance to return to Yanjing City in his lifetime."

Yun Lan nodded, "Miss, I understand what you mean. I will not come forward to help him."

"Prince Xin is a prince after all. If he dies, the Dali Temple will definitely investigate."

"Our purpose and identity must not be revealed."

Shen Mi nodded, "Yes."

……

The summer night in Yanjing City was a bit stuffy.

The noble ladies in Yanjing took their round fans early in the morning and started fanning themselves to keep warm.

In an ordinary tavern on the southern alley of Yanjing City, a young man was sitting at the westernmost seat.

The man was about twenty years old. He was holding a pot of wine and drank it all with a drunken look on his face.

His eyes were so fierce and terrifying that the waiter in the store didn't dare to take a step forward.

The waiter could only walk to the front desk and whisper something to the store owner.

The boss looked up and saw that the young man was drunk, with a sword on his waist and murderous look, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

After the young man got drunk, his eyes turned bloodshot. He threw the wine jug in his hand violently, took two steps with the sword in hand, and fell drunkenly to the ground.

"My son, my son."

The waiter walked closer tremblingly, and just as he was about to take a step forward, he met Yun Jue's bloodthirsty eyes.

Until late at night, the candlelight in the store was flickering slightly, and Yun Jue had not left yet.

Not long after, a young woman wearing a veil paid Yun Jue's bill and helped him into the inn to rest.

The young woman was drunk by him, so she gave him some sobering soup and placed a pearl hairpin on the table.

He left another note and then left.

The next day, when Yun Jue woke up, he saw the familiar pearl hairpin on the table.

Those scenes from the past come into my mind one by one, as if they happened just yesterday.

Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned.

There was a chill in Yun Jue's eyes, and he put away the pearl hairpin on the table.

After he burned the letter, he went downstairs holding his sword.

Downstairs, the voices of two young men reached my ears.

"Have you heard? Prince Xin's mansion encountered an assassin yesterday, and Prince Xin is now searching for the assassin's whereabouts."

"Prince Xin is so bold that he even dares to stab Doctor Chu's daughter..."

"Isn't it? After all, she is a virgin, but she ended up falling into a wolf's den, and she even hired someone to break Doctor Chu's legs."

"Doctor Chu has been practicing medicine for many years, but now he has ended up like this."

Another young man said, "Shh, keep your voice down."

"It is said that Prince Xin has a special hobby, using women's heads to make wine bowls. This method is very cruel."

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family of Beiming was also abducted into Prince Xin's mansion a few days ago and died tragically. The tragedy is really unimaginable."

"Young Master Zhang even tried to hire assassins from Zixiao Pavilion, but was stopped by Madam Zhang."

"When the Zixiao Pavilion kills people, they never leave any traces. They come and go without a trace. If we can really get rid of that scourge, it will be considered as getting rid of harm for the people."

"Zixiao Pavilion is well-known in the martial arts world. If they kill someone, the government may not be able to find out."

The voices of the two people became lower and lower, but every word they said fell into Yun Jue's ears.

Yun Jue had a blank expression on his face. He held his sword and left the inn without looking back.

At night, after the lights went out, Prince Xin's mansion was eerily quiet.

The inner courtyard of Prince Xin's mansion was still filled with sounds of beating, scolding, and crying.

In the private room, Prince Xin leaned back in a chair, holding a cup of tea and sipping it carefully.

The girl next to him knelt in front of him, her whole body trembling.

Prince Xin glanced at the girl, and she immediately fell to her knees in fear.

"My Lord, I cannot remember what that young master looks like."

"However, he looks to be around 20 years old, carrying a sword, and full of murderous intent."

With the teacup in his hand, Prince Xin slowly stretched out his hand and placed it around the girl's neck. The girl shrank back in fear.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know who it is."

"This servant... This servant only knows that he is here to look for Sister Xinyue. He should be Sister Xinyue's fiancé."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the hand that was pinching her suddenly tightened.

A feeling of suffocation came over her and she struggled hard a few times, only to see the man's gloomy and terrifying face.

Prince Xin grinned, "Chu Xinyue, that little bitch has a fiancé, how come I don't know?"

"Do you still want to run after others?"

The girl shook her head repeatedly, her face flushed red from being pinched by Prince Xin. Her eyes were blurred with tears and she begged for mercy again and again.

"No...no, Your Majesty...Your Majesty."

Prince Xin waved his hand fiercely and threw the girl into a corner of the room.

The girl was hit so hard that she knelt on the ground again, enduring the pain.

Prince Xin took a deep breath, looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly.

"If you didn't look a bit like the second young lady of the Shen family, I would not have kept you tonight."

He spoke so calmly, but the girl on the ground felt as if she had fallen into hell.

Since entering Prince Xin's mansion, it has been like entering hell.

It's a pity that she has a bad life, no power or influence, and can only be manipulated by others. Even her life is not her own.

Late at night, Prince Xin got up from his chair, stood in the middle of the room, looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, and shouted coldly: "Change your clothes for me, and you will sleep with me tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The girl slowly stood up and went to help Prince Xin change his clothes.

After the lights went out, Prince Xin's mansion was filled with deathly silence.

At the same time, a group of men in black holding long knives sneaked into Prince Xin's palace.

The guards at the four doors of Prince Xin's mansion, in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, were all eliminated silently in the moonlight.

In less than a moment, more and more dark shadows appeared, and some guards in the mansion were bleeding before they could even say a word.

In the silent night, Xinqin was lying on the bed. Just as he fell asleep, he heard a scream coming from the darkness not far away.

The voice was very soft and came from far away, which instantly made his scalp tingle.

His right eyelid twitched and he immediately got up from the bed.

"Come on, come on."

On the bed, the girl shrank back in fear at his actions. She quickly got out of bed and went to light the candle.

"My Lord, what happened?"

Prince Xin frowned, as if he felt something was wrong.

He wrapped his clothes casually and went to open the door, but in the dark night, several dark shadows flashed past the window.

"who?"

Before he could react, a cool breeze blew in from the door and instantly blew out all the candles in the room.

The woman in front of him screamed in fear and knelt on the ground trembling.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Your Majesty, someone is here to claim my life. It must be Yue'er who died and turned into a ghost to claim my life."

Prince Xin looked back at her and cursed angrily.

"What are you making such a fuss about? You're making a fuss."

"This is Prince Xin's residence. Even if the king of heaven comes, I am not afraid."
