Hearing this, Hong Yan rushed into the house quickly, followed by Luo Nianxi and Bai Lan. Leng Yiyan instructed Ling Xiao and Ling Yun:

"Stay here, I'll go in and take a look."

When Luo Nianxi ran into the temple, she saw two ragged beggars lying there. Bai Lan ran over and called out,

"Xiao Ma, Shuangzi, get up."

Hearing someone calling their names, the two beggars lying on the ground slowly opened their eyes.

When they saw who was coming, they immediately huddled together in fear, and one of them even begged for mercy.

"We know nothing, we won't say anything, we won't say anything, don't kill us, don't kill us."

Seeing this, Hong Yan raised his voice and shouted:

"This is Princess Yan. She is the only one who can help you now."

Hearing this, the two of them looked up and looked towards Luo Nianxi. At the same time, an arrow flew out from somewhere and headed straight towards them.

"Be careful……"

Leng Yiyan rushed over at this time, raised the sword in his hand, knocked down the arrow, and then another arrow flew out, and he knocked it down again.

At this time, Ling Xiao and Ling Yun were already fighting with others outside.

The two beggars huddled together, shivering, looking as if they were about to be frightened to death.

Luo Nianxi took two steps forward and reminded:

"Are you all from Fengyi Palace? You must know the reason for the Queen's death."

As soon as she asked this question, Leng Yiyan couldn't wait to remind her again.

"Madam, hurry up, there are assassins outside."

As he spoke, he ran to the door and fought with the black-clad assassins together with Ling Xiao and Ling Yun.

From the direction the two arrows were pointing, Luo Nianxi roughly guessed that these assassins wanted to kill the two witnesses.

She immediately instructed Bai Lan and Hong Yan:

"Tear a piece of cloth, cover their eyes, and tie their hands."

The two men were so frightened that they lost their wits and began to beg for mercy.

Although Bai Lan and Hong Yan didn't know what the princess was going to do, they still did as she said. They each tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of their clothes, blindfolded the two men, and tied their hands behind their backs.

After doing all this, Luo Nianxi instructed again:

"You guys go out first, I'll take care of these two guys."

Bai Lan quickly shook her head.

"Princess, how can you take them both away by yourself? Let's go out together."

"Don't worry about me. I have a plan. Go out and prepare the carriage now. Once I get on, drive away immediately."

Seeing her firm attitude, Bai Lan and Hong Yan ran out of the ruined temple together...

When there was no one around, she waved her hand and led the two people into Bao'an Hall, then quickly ran out of the ruined temple. Seeing Ling Xiao, Ling Yun and Leng Yiyan fighting with the assassin, she quickly got into the carriage and called out to Bai Lan,

"leave here."

Bai Lan did not see the two men, but after hearing her order, she did not dare to neglect it. She quickly raised her whip and rode away.

Luo Nianxi raised her hand as quickly as possible and brought the two men out of Bao'an Hall. At this time, the two men had no idea what they had just experienced.

"Bai Lan, stop the car and see if the prince and the others have come up."

Hong Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back and nodded happily.

"Princess, the prince and his men are here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Nianxi heard the sound of horse hooves and called out,

"parking."

Bai Lan hurriedly tightened the reins. After the carriage stopped, Luo Nianxi couldn't wait to jump off the carriage with the help of Hong Yan.

Leng Yiyan and Ling Xiao, Ling Yun came close at this time. He turned over and dismounted, strode to her, and asked anxiously:

"Madam, are you okay?"

She shook her head,

"It's alright. My husband and I will ride back to the city on the same horse."

Leng Yiyan looked at her curiously, then nodded in understanding, then took her hand and walked to the carriage, put his arm around her waist with one hand, put her directly on the horse's back, and sat behind her.

"drive!"

He pulled the reins and the horse galloped out, and the others followed quickly.

Plum Blossom Pavilion

After a night, Prince Yan's Mansion was safe and sound, which made Leng Chen very angry. He immediately rushed to the Plum Blossom Pavilion, intending to find Concubine Mei to ask what was going on.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, Leng Yifei was in the main hall of Plum Blossom Pavilion, questioning Concubine Mei in a menacing manner.

"I heard that the Seventh Uncle has been coming to your place a lot recently. What does he come for?"

There is no wall that is impenetrable. In addition, Leng Yifei was already worried about Concubine Mei, so he had placed spies around her. He had known for a long time that Leng Chen often came to Plum Blossom Pavilion.

Mei Fei shook her head nervously.

"He came here for nothing... nothing, just to ask about the emperor's recent situation."

Obviously, she was lying, and she herself felt that what she said was not justified.

Leng Yifei did not continue to ask, he knew that Concubine Mei was still useful and he could not anger her.

He waved his hand, and a middle-aged woman with a fierce face walked in from outside. "This is Rong Mama. She took care of me when I was very young. Later, she returned to her hometown. Now I invite her back. From now on, I will keep her by your side to take care of you."

Although Concubine Mei is timid, she is not stupid. She knows that this Madam Rong is the person Leng Yifei placed next to her to watch over her.

Even if she was unhappy, she didn't dare to refuse.

She could only nod in agreement.

"Thank you, Lord Duan."

At this time, Leng Chen had already arrived at the entrance of Plum Blossom Pavilion, and Xiaodie hurriedly stepped forward and replied:

"Seventh Prince, Madam Mei has gone to bed. Please come back tomorrow!"

"Sleep? Go wake her up and tell her that I have something urgent to discuss with her."

Xiaodie shook her head in embarrassment.

"The Queen has ordered that no one should disturb him, so you should go back!"

"Humph!"

Leng Chen immediately threw his hands away.

"Does she deliberately not want to see me? Go tell her that if she doesn't see me tonight, I will never come again."

Xiaodie hesitated for a moment, winked at the girl beside her, and walked quickly into the yard.

At this moment, Leng Yifei happened to come out from the inner room, and Xiaodie hurriedly reminded him in a low voice,

"Prince Duan, the Seventh Prince is here."

The Seventh Uncle is here?

Leng Yifei frowned. He couldn't let Leng Chen find out about his relationship with Concubine Mei, so he had to hide.

He nodded immediately,

"Go in and report!"

Anyway, with Madam Rong around, he was not afraid of anything happening between Concubine Mei and this cold minister.

He didn't care about the relationship between Concubine Mei and Leng Chen. He was mainly afraid that Leng Chen would win over Concubine Mei and ruin his plans.

Anyway, it's dark now, so he can just find a corner to hide and Leng Chen won't find him.

Xiaodie quickly came to the main hall and reported to Concubine Mei:

"My queen, the Seventh Prince is here."

Upon hearing these words, Concubine Mei's expression instantly became nervous. Madam Rong, who was standing beside her, was like a Buddha statue, motionless, her eyes constantly glancing towards the door.

Just looking at her face made Concubine Mei feel scared.

"It's getting late. Tell the Seventh Prince that we can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."

Xiaodie hurriedly bowed and replied:

"I did, but the Seventh Prince said he has something urgent to discuss with you and must see you tonight."
