Honey room fragrance

For a moment, the flashes of swords and sabers intertwined, the energy overflowed, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart.

Seeing this, Wei Ying launched an attack without hesitation together with the secret guards around him.

They are agile, work well together, and every move they make is precise and ruthless.

After several rounds of fierce fighting, Ren Xianzhi gradually became exhausted and was eventually knocked to the ground.

At this moment, a group of guards quickly rushed forward and subdued Ren Xianzhi. Then, Jiang Hanyi came over in neat clothes.

It turned out that he had just returned home today to reunite with his family, but as the curfew was approaching, he had to return to the palace early.

He had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by his subordinates. When he heard his subordinates report that a thief had broken in, he couldn't help feeling a little worried and immediately thought of the thief that His Highness had mentioned two days ago.

So he quickly put on his clothes and hurried over.

He lowered his head and took a closer look, and was suddenly shocked to find that the person who was subdued was actually Ren Xianzhi!

This was really unexpected, so he couldn't help but ask in astonishment: "Master Ren? Why is it you?"

Then, he raised a series of questions: "Why is Lord Ren here?"

"And how did you become a thief? What's going on?"

However, in the face of his questioning, Ren Xianzhi said nothing, as if he did not recognize the person in front of him at all, and even turned a deaf ear to what he said.

Ren Xianzhi had a resolute look on his face, and shouted fearlessly, "The reason I was caught by you today is not because I am not skilled enough, but because you have more people and more power."

"You can kill me or chop me up as you like. In eighteen years, I will be a brave man again!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and acted as if he was ready to be slaughtered.

Jiang Hanyi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

He remembered that Ren Xianzhi used to be a gentle and cold head of the Ministry of Punishment, and he had never heard that he had such a rogue and vulgar side.

It took him a long while to come back to his senses. He thought that this matter was of great importance and must be handled with caution, so he decided to hand Ren Xianzhi over to His Highness for personal interrogation and decision.

Then he shouted, "Come here! Take this thief away and wait for your Highness to interrogate him!"

"Yes."

The next day, Lin Mimi had just woken up and called the palace maid in to serve her, when she saw Jiang Hanyi outside the door asking to see her.

Jiang Hanyi walked closer to the bedroom and reported through the screen: "Your Highness, a thief broke in last night."

"It took the combined efforts of Wei Ying and another secret guard to capture him and subdue him. He is now being held in a side hall."

Lin Mimi turned around in confusion: "Side hall?"

"Why not lock him up in the woodshed?"

Jiang Hanyi said hesitantly: "Your Highness... it's because this thief is not an ordinary person."

Lin Mimi asked aloud: "How unusual is it?"

Jiang Hanyi: "Your Highness, go and see for yourself!"

Lin Mimi nodded: "We should go and check if it's the thief from that day!"

Not long after, Lin Mimi walked out from behind the screen with a graceful figure, while the secret guard had been waiting respectfully outside the door for a long time.

Lin Mimi waved her hand, signaling everyone around her to step back and wait until there was no one around.

The secret guard then lowered his voice and said, "My Lord, I followed your instructions last night, just like I did the previous two days, quietly lurking near the courtyard where Ren Xianzhi lived and secretly monitoring him."

"At first everything was normal, and there was nothing unusual. But shortly after midnight, Ren Xianzhi suddenly pushed open the gate without any warning, and then used his ultimate Qinggong skills to rush outside."

"I didn't dare to be negligent and immediately followed him all the way to the outside of the city. I was surprised to find that Ren Xianzhi was heading towards the imperial palace!"

"What's even more amazing is that he is extremely agile and flexible, like a ghost, and he easily avoided the guards who were responsible for patrolling the palace."

"Finally, Ren Xianzhi arrived at Weiyang Palace, but when I hurried over, I found that His Highness's shadow guard had already noticed his whereabouts."

Hearing this, Lin Mimi couldn't help but frowned: "Based on this situation, could it be that the thief who was captured last night was Ren Xianzhi?"

The secret guard nodded affirmatively: "Master, it is this person."

Lin Mimi nodded slightly, indicating that she was aware of the matter, and then whispered, "In that case, you can leave first."

After the secret guard left quietly, Lin Mimi stretched and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

After enjoying her breakfast, she strolled towards the side hall.

The guard standing guard at the door saw Lin Mimi walking towards them from afar and hurried forward to push open the door.

Lin Mimi took graceful steps into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a man curled up on the floor, his whole body tightly tied up with ropes. His head was lowered, making it difficult to see his face. It seemed as if he was sleeping soundly.

Lin Mimi looked at the person in front of her, then turned her gaze to Jiang Hanyi beside her.

Jiang Hanyi nodded in understanding, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and poured it at the man without hesitation.

With a crisp "splash" sound, water splashed everywhere.

Ren Xianzhi, who was soaked like a drowned rat, woke up slowly and raised his head slowly with sleepy eyes.

When he saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was Lin Mimi, a look of doubt flashed across his eyes, and then he moved his body which was sore from being restrained for a long time.

Only then did Ren Xianzhi realize that he was tied up!

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Lin Mimi saw that it was indeed him who raised his head: "It's you."

"You came to my Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night and asked me why I did that?"

"Hanyi, tell me what happened yesterday." Lin Mimi said to Jiang Hanyi.

"Your Highness, you'll have to ask Wei Ying for details. When I arrived, he was almost subdued."

Jiang Hanyi then moved closer and whispered in her ear, "And from what I observed, Mr. Ren last night was a little different from Mr. Ren this morning."

“But I can’t tell you exactly what the differences are.”

"Last night he said: You can kill me or chop me up as you please, in 18 years I will be a brave man again!"

"It was as if he didn't recognize us, and his behavior last night was completely different from his usual behavior. I suspect that Lord Ren was possessed by a ghost." Jiang Hanyi said in a serious tone.

Lin Mimi frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in her tone: "I see, you go down first!"

She waved to signal Jiang Han to leave the room, but her eyes remained on Ren Xianzhi.

Jiang Han seemed a little worried and hesitated: "This..."

However, seeing Lin Mimi's determined eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay! Your Highness, remember to call me if you have anything. I'll be waiting outside the door."

After saying that, he turned around and quietly left the room, closing the door behind him.

After Jiang Han left, Lin Mimi slowly walked to Ren Xianzhi, squatted down, and carefully looked at his slightly confused face.
