Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

"But since he didn't expose me, I just pretended I didn't know anything. Besides, even if he wanted to expose me, I wouldn't be afraid of anything... After all, the Prime Minister has become my archenemy, and I'm respecting the original plot by not stabbing him directly. Why would I want to do things for him and serve him?"

With white silk tied around her eyes, Zhu Baishao switched back to being a gentle blind girl.

While having breakfast, she heard Bitao say that Wen Yan had gone to Xiao Huanzhi's place early in the morning.

She couldn't help but have some inexplicable thoughts in her mind. Could he have gone to tell on her? Wouldn't that mean she would be exposed soon?

After breakfast, Zhu Baishao sat under the peach tree at the gate of the courtyard. Just as she was listening to Bitao reading a storybook to her, Wen Yan, dressed in a moon-white gown, came back.

He really wanted to find Xiao Huanzhi today, ready to tell him what had happened in the past few days and his guess about Zhu Baishao's identity, but in the end he came to nothing.

Xiao Huan went to court.

Wen Yan had been hesitant about whether to expose Zhu Baishao's identity, but now he couldn't say anything.

Realizing this, his restless mood calmed down, and she secretly urged him to come back to see her.

"Uncle."

Bitao put away the storybook and called out, as a reminder to Zhu Baishao.

"Brother Yan, you're back?" Zhu Baishao stood up.

Wen Yan looked at the master and servant who were contented under the peach tree, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. After what he saw last night, it was difficult for him to deceive himself and treat Zhu Baishao as an ordinary girl.

"Qingxu, do you want to go for a walk on the street?"

"Is it okay? Will it disturb you..." Zhu Baishao's tone was soft, and her brows were full of longing.

"Of course you can. You've been here for many days, and I haven't taken you for a good shopping yet." Wen Yan smiled gently. Except for his pale face, you couldn't tell that he was about to die of illness.

"I...then I'll go change my clothes..." Zhu Baishao acted as if she was shopping with her lover for the first time, feeling shy and timid.

"No need, Qingxu's outfit is good enough."

The three of them left Zhuxingju together and took a carriage. In the carriage, Wen Yan sat next to Zhu Baishao, looking at her with lowered eyebrows and sidelong glances.

She clearly didn't stop walking last night and could clearly see the road. How did she disguise herself as a blind girl so naturally today?

His eyes suddenly noticed a bright red mark behind her earlobe. His eyes narrowed and his gaze froze for a moment.

Then he clenched his hands slightly in his long sleeves.

Suddenly at this moment, several riders came galloping over, the sound of horse hooves was particularly loud. Seeing the familiar carriage, the young man in a black cloak at the head pulled the reins, and the black horse neighed long and stood up for a moment.

"Brother Wen?" Xiao Huanzhi pulled the reins and called out.

Wen Yan has always liked quietness, so why did he go out today?

Wen Yan noticed that when the sound outside came, Zhu Baishao and Bitao both made slight movements to varying degrees.

The former lowered his head slightly, while the latter nervously clenched his hands on his knees.

Under normal circumstances, such actions are nothing out of the ordinary, but in the eyes of the suspicious Wen Yan, it proves that they have something to hide, and it is related to Xiao Huanzhi.

A complex expression flashed across his clear eyes, and a trace of confusion flashed across his handsome face. Then he lifted the bamboo curtain of the carriage window and whispered, "Your Highness, have you just returned from court?"

The moment the curtains were opened, Zhu Baishao deliberately showed her side face, and then hid beside Wen Yan and lowered her head.

Xiao Huanzhi obviously saw the movement in the car, and felt that the fleeting profile was somewhat familiar, but before he had time to think about it, he heard Wen Yan's question and nodded lightly.

"Where are you planning to go, Brother Wen?"

Wen Yan covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice, "Qing Xu has never been to the Imperial City. I will take her out for a walk today."

It turned out to be Brother Wen’s fiancée…

Xiao Huanzhi chuckled, "Then I won't bother Brother Wen anymore."

He had to go look for that bad woman who put on clothes and didn't recognize anyone, so he didn't delay here.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves fading away, Wen Yan clearly felt that the person beside him relaxed. The doubts in his heart grew deeper, but he could only suppress them for the time being.

Bi Tao also breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she knew that the Regent couldn't see them, she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to look up to see what the Regent looked like.

Because Zhu Baishao was playing the role of a blind girl, she could only listen to the hustle and bustle in the street. At noon, Wen Yan took them to a restaurant and asked for a private room.

"Bitao, the gift I prepared for Qingxu left in the carriage. Can you go and get it?" After sitting down, Wen Yan suddenly said to Bitao who was pouring tea for them.

Bi Tao did not suspect anything. She pushed the teacup in front of the two of them, bowed, and walked out, closing the door considerately.

Zhu Baishao sighed inwardly, "System, he wants to confront me face to face..."

As expected, Wen Yan took a sip of tea and then lowered his eyes and said calmly, "You sneaked in and out last night dressed in black. You are not Lin Qingxu, so who are you?"

Zhu Baishao paused for a moment, then lowered her head, her voice as gentle as ever, "Brother Yan, what are you talking about?"

Wen Yan put down the teacup and sighed softly, "Qing Xu doesn't have a teardrop mole under her eyes, and she's not good at dancing..."

Zhu Baishao was really stunned this time. According to the information given by the Prime Minister's Mansion, wasn't Lin Qingxu good at dancing?

As if noticing her stiffness, Wen Yan suddenly thought she was cute and said softly, "Lin Qingxu wasn't born blind. After she lost her sight, she abandoned what she had learned... She was good at dancing only because she told others about it. Both her family and mine know about it."

Zhu Baishao was speechless. No wonder all the spies who had infiltrated the Regent's Palace in the original plot died. The initial intelligence given was not accurate.

She sighed softly, lowered her head and untied the white silk blindfold herself, and asked, "Did you realize that I was not Lin Qingxu from the first time we met?"

The tone was not as soft as before, but it was like a green lotus entering the water, the sound was clear and upright, with the coolness of pond water on a summer night.

Wen Yan raised his eyes and met hers. His lifeless eyes suddenly lit up and were as cold as jade.

The look of her eyes and eyebrows changed from being gentle and soft to becoming cold and beautiful.

Wen Yan's eyes were a little dazed, and then his heart beat like a drum, his Adam's apple moved, and he was even more shocked than before.

Seeing his expression, Zhu Baishao sighed in her heart, it is true that all men have trouble resisting beautiful women.

"Hmm... who are you exactly? And why are you approaching me?"

Zhu Baishao picked up the tea cup and placed her plump and glossy lips on the celadon cup. It looked indescribably beautiful.

She took a sip of tea, her expression slightly cold, "Is Master Wen interrogating me now?"

Wen Yan withdrew his gaze from her red lips, and thought of the marks he saw behind her ear. His heart darkened, "I'm not interrogating you. I just want to know why you approached me. If you want to attack the Regent, I won't sit idly by and will arrest you..."

The teacup was placed on the table with a slight sound. Zhu Baishao looked indifferent, "Do you think you can beat me?"

"Besides, what if my target is not the Regent, but you?"
