"master!"

Mu Xiao, who had just gone out, threw Yu Ying'er to the ground.

Before Mu Xiao finished speaking, a hearty laugh was heard from outside.

"Hahahaha... It seems to me that this place is quite lively."

King Xuan came in with laughter, followed by Zhou Pei who had just been driven out.

King Xuan actually came here by himself?

Yan Qi greeted King Xuan calmly.

"Your humble servant greets your second brother!"

"Is Fourth Brother handling a case here?"

"Pin Ya Residence is on fire, so my city defense battalion will come over to check it out."

King Xuan looked around while asking the question.

Just then, Zhao Huayin came out of the house. When King Xuan saw Zhao Huayin, his eyes lit up for a moment.

"Greetings to His Majesty King Xuan."

Zhao Huayin bowed silently.

"I didn't know that Miss Zhao was also here."

"Your Majesty, there is a hairpin appreciation party at the Marquis Qi's residence today, and I am here to attend the banquet."

Seeing that King Xuan's eyes were glued to Zhao Huayin, Yan Qi frowned unhappily.

"I wonder why my brother is here?"

Yan Qi interrupted King Xuan's gaze and asked.

"Nothing, it's just that I happened to see Fourth Brother's people chasing after my staff, so I came to ask Fourth Brother, is there anything wrong with my staff?"

King Xuan no longer looked at Zhao Huayin standing beside him, and seemed to be looking at Yan Qi casually.

Seeing Yan Qi here, King Xuan felt relieved. As long as Yan Qi was not there, things would probably go more smoothly in the prison.

"Maybe the aide to my brother is hanging out with someone he shouldn't be associating with!"

After Yan Qi finished speaking, he looked at Yu Ying'er on the side.

King Xuan also followed Yan Qi's gaze and saw Yu Ying'er lying on the ground.

Yu Ying'er's hair was slightly disheveled. She raised her head with tearful eyes and saw the tall and handsome King Xuan. She couldn't help but feel moved.

This King Xuan seems to be much stronger than Zhou Pei.

Yu Ying'er was afraid of Yan Qi and didn't dare to speak.

He took a quick look at King Xuan and saw that he had an extraordinary bearing and his features were somewhat similar to Yan Qi's, so he began to guess something.

I spoke up boldly.

"I don't know what crime I have committed, but I have caused trouble to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

As Yu Ying'er spoke, she acted as if she was about to cry, and the slightly red corners of her eyes made her look particularly charming.

Yan Qi just glanced at it casually and remained unmoved.

King Xuan looked at Yu Ying'er with some scrutiny.

"There was a fire at Pin Ya Residence. You are a suspect, so we have to bring you back for investigation."

Yan Qi said this coldly and looked at Xiaohong behind Zhao Huayin.

Xiaohong knelt in the middle of the yard and repeated what she had just confessed.

When Yu Ying'er saw Xiaohong coming out, her face changed drastically. She listened to Xiaohong's confession on pins and needles and felt like she was struck by lightning.

Xiaohong is a waste. Unexpectedly, she didn't accomplish anything she was asked to do, and she even gave herself away.

Originally, Yu Ying'er didn't want to go through with her marriage to Zhou Pei, and wanted to use today's banquet to confirm their affair.

Who would have thought that this idiot Zhou Pei even lost the letter that Zhao Huayin sent him.

The plan failed and he was kicked out of the Pinzan Club.

If I fall into Yan Qi's hands again, won't I be dead?

Yu Ying'er changed her mind and the only option now was to deny it until death.

Also, Yu Ying'er looked at King Xuan again.

Prince Xuan and the Fourth Prince are not in the same group, so this might be an opportunity.

"This servant has wronged me!"

Yu Ying'er knelt down in front of them with tears in her eyes.

"This maidservant was given to me by my elder sister after I arrived at the Zhao residence. I never asked her to do such a thing. She is talking nonsense."

Yu Ying'er's words were suggestive, and she glanced at Zhao Huayin as she spoke.

Liuyun was very angry when he heard this and immediately questioned Yu Ying'er.

"From what Miss Yu said, could it be that my daughter asked her to do this?"

"I... that's not what I meant. I really didn't know what she did, and besides,"

Yu Ying'er stopped talking and wiped her tears, then cast her eyes towards King Xuan.

"This maid said that I asked her to steal my sister's paintings, but my sister's paintings were not lost.

Also, although the arsonist has not been caught, it definitely has nothing to do with me.

If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince does not believe me, you can ask His Royal Highness King Xuan. When His Royal Highness meets me on the road,

Is there anyone suspicious around me?"

Yu Ying'er mentioned King Xuan in her words.

King Xuan raised his eyebrows calmly. All the things that happened today were done by the secret guards in his own mansion.

Presumably Yan Qi couldn't find anyone, so King Xuan would never let anyone go as long as he could cause trouble for Yan Qi.

"When I saw my staff and this woman on the road, there was indeed no one else present. Why don't you investigate further, my fourth brother?

So as not to arrest the wrong person."

The people who were sent out have not returned yet. It must be that the layout map that Zhou Pei brought back is very useful.

King Xuan now regards Zhou Pei as very important and will definitely protect him.

Zhao Huayin watched coldly from the side, while Yu Ying'er cast an affectionate look at King Xuan from time to time.

Yu Ying'er looked down on Zhou Pei, who was disabled, and wanted to curry favor with King Xuan.

Thinking of the fate of King Xuan after his corruption case in his previous life, Zhao Huayin felt that Yu Ying'er had chosen a good place.

"Your Majesty King Xuan is indeed fair and truly saved my life. Ying'er thanks His Majesty King Xuan!"

Yu Ying'er looked at King Xuan with spring in her eyes.

Although King Xuan had many beautiful concubines around him, Yu Ying'er looked quite charming.

"Brother, are you going to protect this woman?"

Yan Qi asked coldly.

"I am only speaking the truth, why do you have to be so aggressive, brother?"

King Xuan looked at Yan Qi with a smile, and there was a sense of confrontation between the two.

Amid the stalemate, the wife of the Marquis of Qi came over.

"Thanks to the eldest lady's reminder just now, I counted the number of women in the inner courtyard and indeed found a suspicious person.

Bring the people up!"

A woman dressed as a maid from Pin Ya Ju was thrown out.

When King Xuan saw the woman, his eyes darkened.

This woman was indeed one of the secret agents sent out from Prince Xuan's palace.

But it only took a moment for King Xuan to calm down. The secret agents had their own rules, and if they were captured alive, they would not be linked to King Xuan's Palace.

Sure enough, the woman was thrown to the ground. Before Yan Qi could ask any questions, she suddenly jumped up, pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed King Xuan.

Several female relatives who were nearby had already screamed, and the wife of Marquis Qi was also protected by the nanny beside her.

Mu Xiao and the other guards immediately drew their weapons and stood in front of Yan Qi. Yan Qi stretched out his hand to block and protected Zhao Huayin behind him.

The accident happened suddenly. Yu Ying'er was panicked for a moment but then calmed down. God really helped me!

Yu Ying'er stood up, grabbed King Xuan's hand and pulled it, then pushed her right shoulder forward and stood in front of King Xuan.

"what!"

As Yu Ying'er screamed, blood gushed out from her right shoulder.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

After saying this, Yu Ying'er fainted.

Before fainting, Yu Ying'er saw the shock and emotion in King Xuan's eyes, and believed that King Xuan would protect her and leave safely.

Thinking of this, Yu Ying'er fainted with relief.

Just as Mu Xiao was about to step forward, the people around King Xuan had already taken action and killed the woman with a single sword.

Yan Qi's eyes moved slightly. The speed of killing and silencing the witness was really fast.

Zhao Huayin frowned slightly. Yu Ying'er was really bold.

In this way, Yu Ying'er, who was grateful to King Xuan for saving her life, found a backer.

While Zhao Huayin was stunned, King Xuan had already picked up Yu Ying'er with an anxious look on his face.

"This woman saved me. I will take her back to heal her first. You can do as you please, my fourth brother."
