The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

When the soup was being served, a young palace maid suddenly fell forward and landed on the table full of dishes.

The dishes on the table were spilled all over, and Yan Muxi and Yan Muqing had nowhere to hide, and their clothes were stained with many stains.

Summer dresses are thin, and the fabric stained with soup and oil sticks to the body, which is very indecent.

Everyone looked over here, but Emperor Yuanjing just glanced at the two sisters without saying a word.

When Empress Xue looked at Concubine Li, Concubine Li asked calmly, "What happened? Are the two young ladies injured?"

Yan Muqing stood up and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not hurt."

Yan Muxi also replied: "I am not hurt either."

Concubine Li seemed to be relieved, "It's good that they are not hurt!" She ordered the maid beside her, "Hurry up and send someone to take the two young ladies downstairs to wash and change into clean clothes!"

The two of them followed the palace maid's instructions and left. Behind them was the voice of Concubine Li holding the young palace maid accountable for the mistake.

There were eunuchs and palace servants along the way, so the two sisters could not communicate with words and could only rely on eye contact and gestures.

Yan Muching pointed at himself, Yan Muxi shook his head and pointed at himself again, instinctively feeling that this matter was directed at him.

The servants in the palace even had their steps measured. To have dishes knocked over at an extremely important palace banquet must have been done on purpose under someone's instructions.

However, due to their low status, they have no capital to question or resist. Even though they know there may be a trap, they still have to obey and jump into it.

For now, we can only see what kind of trap is ahead and then find a way to deal with it.

The two were brought to the small courtyard closest to the garden. The palace servant who led the way stopped in front of the west wing and said, "Ms. Yan, please wait here. Miss Yan, please follow me to the east wing next door."

"I have a close relationship with my elder sister, so we can change clothes together and not go to the east wing." Yan Muxi tried to refuse.

The palace maid advised, "There is only one set of washing utensils in the room. It is inconvenient for the two young ladies to share it. Miss Yan should follow me to the east wing!"

Yan Muxi pretended to think about it and no longer insisted, "Okay then!" After that, he didn't wait for the palace servant to lead the way and walked straight to the east wing.

Now that I'm here, I'd feel uncomfortable if I didn't check to see what monsters are in the house.

After escorting Yan Muxi into the house, the palace servant retreated, walking so quickly as if he was afraid of being caught up.

Then, as expected, the door was closed from the outside, followed by the sound of it being locked.

Yan Muxi was amused. Concubine Li was really arrogant and bold to the extreme. She schemed against others openly and without any concealment.

She didn't rush to check the locked door, but walked carefully along the wall into the house. If she was right, there should be a man waiting for her inside.

Sure enough, there was a person lying on the bed in the inner room, dressed in black, with a slim and tall figure.

Yan Muxi didn't dare to go too close. She stood at the door and tiptoed to take a closer look. When she saw the person's face clearly, her heart skipped a beat. The person lying on the bed was actually the third prince.

She had long seen that Concubine Li disliked her and thought that she would find a eunuch or a guard to disgust her, but she did not expect that the person Concubine Li used to set a trap was actually Prince Dafeng.

If she were caught in the same room with the Third Prince, not only would she die, but the Third Prince would also suffer a miserable end.

First they framed Concubine Qin for theft, then they framed the Third Prince for having an affair with the future Aunt Wang. Did the Third Prince and his mother dig up the ancestral graves of the Li family? They were persecuted so blatantly.

However, this method of persecution was too casual. They just locked the two people together without even lighting any incense or anything. Aren't they afraid that the plan would go wrong?

Without thinking too much, Yan Muxi tiptoed to the bedside, leaned forward and stretched out her finger, carefully testing the tip of the Third Prince's nose. Feeling the hot air coming out, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that the Third Prince had simply fainted, she turned around and walked out without further delay.

"Cough cough cough..." She had only taken two steps when she suddenly heard a cough behind her. She was so scared that she jumped forward two steps before looking back.

The third prince, who had been lying flat just now, turned over and lay on his side with his face facing outward. His face was facing the direction where she was standing. Fortunately, his eyes were closed.

"How can a fainted person turn over? He might be waking up soon!" Yan Muxi muttered in confusion. He didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly walked out of the inner room.

She came to the door, took off a thin-tailed pearl hairpin from her bun, poked a small hole in the window paper closest to the bolt, and put her eyes in front of the hole to look outside.

Not seeing anyone in the yard and hearing no movement, she used the pearl hairpin to poke another hole in the window pane next to her, then stretched her hands through the two holes, trying to feel for the location of the door lock.

Outside the door, the man walked quickly to the door, and then saw two white and tender little hands stretching out from the doorway.

He stared at the fair and tender hand that was stretched out, looking at it quietly, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Yan Muxi fumbled around in the room and quickly found the keyhole. He held the lock steady with his left hand, and inserted the end of the pearl hairpin into the keyhole with his right hand. He twisted it up and down and left and right for about seven or eight times, and then he heard a click, which was the sound of the lock being opened.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In the past, she only needed three turns to open this kind of lock, but now it takes seven or eight turns to open it.

It must be because I haven't practiced for too long and my technique has become rusty. I guess I need to practice more in the future. You never know when I might need it.

She fumbled to remove the lock from the bolt, and gently shook the bolt twice, and the door seemed to be able to be pushed open.

Yan Muxi was delighted and withdrew her hand from the hole. Without bothering to insert the hairpin into her bun, she reached out to push the door.

The moment the door opened, her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She quickly reached out to cover her mouth, and only then did she manage to suppress the scream in her throat.

"Master, why are you here?"

Yu Wantai was stunned, looking at the beautiful face with wide eyes in front of him, and suddenly he smiled.

"Why can't I be here?"

Seeing him smile, Yan Muxi's mind, which had just calmed down, became confused again. She took a step back in panic, "My Lord, please listen to my explanation. I was also plotted against by someone. I am trying to find a way to escape!"

Yu Wantai lowered his eyes, hiding the tears in his eyes, and whispered, "Let's talk inside!" Then he stepped forward and grabbed Yan Muxi's wrist.

Yan Muxi: “…”

Go in? There's another person lying inside! Does she dare to go in?

She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she shook off her wrist that was being pulled. However, when she met the peach blossom eyes that could not discern any emotion, her courage disappeared.

She tried to force a smile, "How about we go out and talk?"

"It's not appropriate to talk about it outside." Yu Wantai didn't say anything and pulled her inside again.

Yan Muxi wanted to cry but had no tears. Why couldn't she bring a maid with her when she entered the palace? Was she going to die here today?

In the inner room, the third prince was still lying quietly on the bed, his body having returned to a lying flat position at some point.

Yan Muxi's mind was full of how to save his own life, and he didn't notice these details.

If a normal man catches his fiancée in the same room with another man, will he kill his fiancée first or the other man?
