Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day to worship ancestors at the imperial mausoleum.

Early in the morning, Li Siwan and Xiahou Su packed up their things and left the house together.

After gathering outside the imperial city, they headed to the imperial mausoleum together.

The imperial tomb is not far away, it just takes a few days to stay there.

After arriving at the imperial mausoleum, the group stopped at the Golden Garden.

Everyone was assigned accommodation according to the rules. Since Li Siwan was an extra person, he was arranged to live in Xiahou Su's courtyard, which was convenient.

The sacrifice can only begin after three days of bathing and burning incense, but Li Siwan does not have a moment to rest.

She was called by the Queen to chat every day. Although most of the topics were about her daily life, she always felt a little uncomfortable with this inexplicable intimacy.

So every time I just agreed cautiously.

It was not until the day before the sacrifice, when the Queen and others gathered to chant scriptures, that Li Siwan escaped the disaster and regained his freedom.

In order to avoid being called over by the Queen again, Li Siwan simply left his residence and went for a stroll in the garden.

The whole place is covered with white snow, which is a breathtaking beauty.

Many people were also admiring the scenery in the garden. Li Siwan avoided the crowd and hid on a tree.

The tree trunk was so thick that it completely hid her figure.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery from a high place, you can also avoid the unnecessary trouble of meeting others.

Just after she went up, a thin layer of snow fell, completely covering her footprints and perfectly erasing all traces of her existence.

As footsteps sounded, Li Siwan shrank back to make sure no one could see her.

The visitor did not see her.

"Fen'er, it feels like a long time since we last met. We can only see each other once a year. I am so upset that I thought, maybe I could turn into a ghost so that I can stay by your side."

As soon as the words fell, a soft moan was heard, and then the woman stopped him coldly.

"Are you crazy? If you are found in a place like this in broad daylight, you will be dead."

"I have been in this imperial mausoleum for many years, so I am most familiar with the terrain. This place is remote and no one will come here. Fen'er, I really miss you so much!"

"But..."

"No buts, Fen'er, I want you."

"..."

What happened next was indescribable.

Li Siwan's face turned pale and he even slowed down his breathing. He just responded and listened to a live broadcast.

It can indeed be seen that the two people have reunited after a long separation. After all, even if they were trying to hold back and Li Siwan blocked his ears, he could not block out the sound of their joy.

It’s winter and I don’t feel cold at all!

Only when the two of them finished and reluctantly said goodbye and left did Li Siwan secretly take a look.

The man was dressed in official uniform and should be the ceremonial officer stationed at the imperial mausoleum.

Li Siwan turned around and looked at the woman again. He was shocked when he saw her.

Li Siwan almost stumbled and fell.

Li Siwan had seen this woman at a palace banquet.

Concubine Xin, Gao Fen.

She is also the biological mother of the Fifth Prince.

Li Siwan suddenly thought of the Fifth Prince's past abnormal behavior.

"Can you do a blood exchange? Replace all the blood in a person's body with another person's blood, leaving not a single drop behind, is that okay?"

Recalling his words and expression at that time, Li Siwan had a bold guess in his heart.

There was no one around, but Li Siwan didn't dare to stay any longer.

He quickly climbed down the tree and ran straight to his residence.

What she didn't know was that just as she left, the ceremonial officer who had already left suddenly came back.

"Fortunately, it's not lost."

When he was rummaging for the lost jade pendant in the snow, his eyes saw a row of footprints on the snow.

Following the footprints, I found them up the tree.

The ceremonial officer's face turned pale instantly and he ran in the direction where Concubine Xin had left.

Li Siwan naturally didn't know all this, but she was still very nervous and panicked.

He hurried back to the courtyard, and Xiahou Su happened to be in the room. Seeing this, he hurried out.

Seeing Li Siwan's panicked face, he also became worried.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"It says inside."

Li Siwan pulled Xiahou Su into the house, carefully closed the doors and windows, came in front of Xiahou Su, and spoke in a low voice.

"I just caught Concubine Xin and the official in an affair."

"What? Have you revealed your whereabouts?"

"No, I waited until they left before I left."

Hearing this, Xiahou Su quickly stood up and walked to the door, said a few words to Wu Shang, and then sat back down.

His expression was a little solemn, and Li Siwan was a little puzzled, "Is there any problem?"

"The snow will leave your traces."

Li Siwan finally realized, "Yes, my footprints will be left on the snow."

"I just hope that before Wu Shang cleans up all the traces, no one will go there again, especially Concubine Xin's people."

Li Siwan's face turned pale. She was careless.

Immersed in shock, I forgot such an important thing for a moment.

Seeing Li Siwan getting nervous, Xiahou Su comforted her, "Don't worry, even if you are discovered, it's okay. I can still handle a concubine and a ceremonial officer."

Li Siwan smiled bitterly, "But I seem to have discovered a shocking secret."

"What is it?"

"The Fifth Prince's bloodline may not be pure, and he knows it himself."

After these words were spoken, Xiahou Su's expression changed slightly. He stood up and covered Li Siwan's mouth with his hand.

"Don't tell this to anyone else, understand?"

Li Siwan nodded, and his warm breath fell on Xiahou Su's palm, feeling itchy.

Xiahou Su then let go of Li Siwan, "This matter is of great importance. You just pretend you know nothing. The dispute between them has nothing to do with us."

"Ok, I know."

She has always valued her life, so naturally she would not go and get herself into trouble.

Seeing that she agreed, Xiahou Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wanwan, I'm going out tonight, so you stay in the room and don't go anywhere."

Seeing Xiahou Su's serious expression, Li Siwan reacted immediately.

"Are you going to take action?"

"Well, tonight."

Although Li Siwan didn't know what Xiahou Su's specific plan was, she knew that he was going to attack Song Qiyu tonight.

And the place where the attack took place was Jihuangzhuang.

"Is it dangerous?"

Li Siwan's eyes were full of worry, but Xiahou Su shook his head.

"Song Qiyu will be in danger, and I am just going to reap the final fruits of victory."

"That's good. You must protect yourself. I'm here, waiting for you to come back."

With the words "wait for you to come back", Xiahou Su's eyes lit up.

"I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

It is both comfort and reassurance.

There was worry in Li Siwan's eyes, but he still smiled at Xiahou Su.

When night fell, Xiahou Su left his residence.

Li Siwan stayed in the courtyard, and it would be a lie to say that he was not worried.

Every road he has taken has been dangerous, and this time it is an even bigger contest.

Li Siwan wanted to help, but was powerless.

Just as she was waiting in frustration, instead of Xiahou Su coming, she was summoned by the Queen.

Li Siwan was unwilling in his heart, but he had no way to refuse, so he had to follow the eunuch who delivered the order and walked out.

But as they walked, Li Siwan realized something was wrong.

This is not the way to the Queen's residence at all.

"Excuse me, sir, where are we going?"

There was no one around and it was very quiet.

Perhaps that was the case. The eunuch turned around and gave Li Siwan a sinister smile.

Then he pounced over in an instant.

"Send you to the underworld."
