inside the house.

Yun Chaomu's body was stiff. Even though so much time had passed, she still felt uncontrollable pain in her heart when she heard Xiao Zhan's voice again. She covered her heart and walked to a chair near the outer hall and sat down. The figure of a person outside the house could be vaguely seen through the window lattice.

Xiao Zhan stood there, looking cold and serious.

Half a month has passed since I last saw him.

That day, his cold sword pierced her chest, and this time he came to capture her again, for Yun Qianqian.

"Fourth brother, why are you visiting so late at night?"

Di Wuming's voice sounded, unlike the sarcastic and cold tone when he spoke to Yun Chaomu, but it was a bit more lazy.

"Seventh brother, I am sorry to bother you by visiting me at this time, but I have something urgent to tell you. Your concubine was assassinated, and your men saw the assassin enter Prince You's mansion. Have you seen the assassin?"

Xiao Zhan's voice sounded in a low voice.

Inside the house, Yun Chaomu lowered her eyelashes and held her breath. Although she had reached an agreement with Di Wuming, she was still afraid that he might become moody and suddenly expose her.

"assassin?"

Di Wuming spoke lazily, as if he had heard a joke. He said, "Fourth brother, you are joking. Where is the assassin in my house?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at his subordinates again, "Did you notice the assassin breaking in?"

"I have not done so."

Cold wind and cold rain.

Inside the house, Yun Chaomu let out a sigh of relief, Di Wuming did not betray her.

The yard fell into silence for a moment. Xiao Zhan stood there with his thin lips pursed. The moonlight stretched his shadow long.

He didn't care about Yun Qianqian being assassinated. What he cared about was the person who assassinated her.

Wu Da and Wu Er reported back that they chased to the back alley, where there were three paths. They chased in both directions, but did not find the assassin. There was only the middle alley leading to Prince You's Mansion. They also found bloodstains on the wall of the back alley, but they did not dare to rush in. After discussion, they immediately went back to report.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan brought people directly to Prince You’s Mansion to ask for the person.

In this imperial capital, he and Di Wuming have a mediocre relationship. He is the son of the empress, born noble, while Di Wuming was just found back halfway. Although he is also a prince, they are fundamentally different. Not to mention his disabled body, his mother's family with no background makes it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the royal family. He will never be the one to ascend the throne. The emperor had never taken him seriously, but he won the heart of his father.

The emperor's father made no secret of his love for him, to the point where he could get whatever he wanted.

But his father never showed him such a loving smile, only sternness and coldness.

There is a sense of inequality between him and Di Wuming, and their relationship is only on the surface.

The assassin entered Prince You's Mansion and then disappeared. Regardless of whether the assassin came from Prince You's Mansion or not, he must be related to Di Wuming. If he can be caught, he will not be able to deny it this time.

Xiao Zhan's drooped pupils shrank slightly, and he raised his eyes to look through the dark night at the house not far away. The house was pitch black, but he felt as if someone was staring at him. Was the assassin in there?

"Seventh brother, did you really not see the assassin?"

Xiao Zhan asked again, his voice low and deep.

Yun Chaomu's eyelashes trembled slightly inside the room. This was the Xiao Zhan she was familiar with. He was very patient and would not give up until he achieved his goal. He asked this because he had doubts about the matter. He did not believe what Di Wuming said.

Perhaps he did not expect Xiao Zhan to question his words. He spoke again, sneered, and said, "Fourth brother, what you asked is interesting. Do you not believe what I said? As for the assassin you mentioned, I have not seen him. If I had seen him, I would have handed him over to you."

Faced with Xiao Zhan's somewhat coercive words, he seemed calm and not nervous at all.

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips. The dark night enveloped his handsome face, and it was impossible to see the cold look in his eyes.

The two people looked at each other, one was cold and the other was arrogant.

Xiao Zhan knew that he gained nothing in Prince You's Mansion tonight.

But...it's not all in vain.

"In that case, my royal brother will take his leave."

Xiao Zhan said.

"Brother, walk slowly."

Emperor Wuming said nothing.

In the house, Yun Chaomu heard Xiao Zhan saying goodbye. She sat on a chair, feeling weak and filled with hatred in her heart.

"I'm leaving, leaving..."

Old Wang outside the room let out a light breath. His voice was very low, just a casual sigh. After all, he had been holding his breath, fearing that Prince You would become moody and hand over the little girl of the Meng family. Seeing that the prince had saved the little girl of the Meng family, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the moment he exhaled, Yun Chaomu's breathing choked and he said to himself that something was wrong.

Xiao Zhan is a martial arts expert with profound internal strength. He came here with the intention of exploring. Although he apparently believed Di Wuming's words in just a few words, he must have doubts in his heart. The next second, a small piece of silver was suddenly thrown out from his hand, whizzing towards the window frame, penetrating the window frame, flying into the room, and shooting towards Yun Chaomu like a sharp sword.

"Be careful."

Old Wang’s eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise.

Yun Chaomu dodged backwards and fell to the ground, which agitated her wound and made her groan in pain.

With a bang, the silver flew through the air and hit a vase on the shelf inside the house.

But the word 'be careful' and her short, muffled cry overlapped in the silent night.

Xiao Zhan's face was as cold as ice, and no one noticed the darkness rising in his eyes. He paused involuntarily, and looked straight towards the direction of the house under the corridor.

Emperor Wuming's face was as gloomy as water.

"Fourth brother, what does this mean?"

He spoke in a sinister tone, his entire face turned completely gloomy, and the peace he maintained on the surface was torn apart at this moment.

Xiao Zhan's eyes were as cold as ice. His hands were clenched into fists behind his back, as cold as ice. He said, "Seventh brother, who is in the room?"

Yun Chaomu in the room even held his breath, and Old Wang didn't even dare to breathe. His old face turned red. He was in trouble!

"Fourth brother, are you going a little too far? Who is in my room that needs to be reported to you?"

Emperor Wuming spoke, and when he called himself "the King", he already showed his anger.

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips, his face expressionless, and said, "Seventh brother, everyone knows that you don't like women. There is not even a maid in your house. But just now, I clearly heard a woman's voice. Maybe there is an assassin hiding in there. If you are hurt by this, I will be very upset."

Xiao Zhan spoke up and started to walk towards the house.

The moment Xiao Zhan took a step, Di Wuming spoke, his tone full of cold warning.

"Fourth Brother, you have overstepped the boundaries!"
