Lin's trusted servants searched Pei Yi's study room, searching through the books on the bookshelf, the vases on the antique shelf, and even the inkstone.

After a while, someone suddenly said, "Princess, there is a trap here."

When Lin looked, she saw the servant flipping up a portrait of Xie Zhichan. In the portrait, Xie Zhichan was a flying beauty with one foot standing on a lotus, but what she held in her hand was not a pipa, but a shining knife.

It is hard not to notice this painting in this study.

Therefore, the servant quickly discovered the mechanism behind the scroll.

Lin went forward to take a look and saw that the mechanism was a nine-square grid. Each small square was exactly the same, and there were no symbols on them, making it impossible to tell what it was.

She tried to press the first box, and then she heard a whooshing sound beside her ear, followed by a scream.

When Lin turned around, she saw a feather arrow stuck in the chest of a servant. The servant had lost too much blood and was dead.

Lin looked at the blood still flowing from the arrow and touched her earlobe. The arrow just flew past her ear!

She looked back at the mechanism again, took several steps back, turned around and ordered the servants, "Clean up the room, and no one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!"

It doesn't matter if the monk runs away, the temple must be there anyway——

She took her people and turned around and went back to Baizhiyuan.

When they arrived at Baizhi Courtyard, the maid Gancao saw so many people coming and bowed to Lin, holding the hem of her skirt tightly, and asked Lin, "I wonder what the princess wants to do? I want to report to my young lady."

Lin opened the licorice and pushed her back two steps. She sat on the ground and exclaimed "Ah" -

Qin Baiwei was reading a book in the house when she heard the sound of Gancao in the yard. She put down the book and went out to take a look. She saw many servants in the yard and Lin was walking towards her house.

She frowned slightly.

"The princess wants to see me for something?"

Lin just sneered at Qin Baiwei and sat down on the round stool next to the stone table in the yard.

There was disdain and mockery in those eyes. Qin Baiwei stared at the back of Lin's head, then walked over and sat down on the stool next to her.

"Could it be that Miss Qin came to Prince Yan's mansion to cultivate immortality?"

Qin Baiwei didn't understand what Lin meant, so she just looked at her, waiting for her next words.

Lin continued, "Don't you really know that everyone in Tingxueju has left?"

After hearing this, Qin Baiwei tilted her head slightly, widened her eyes slightly, and looked at Lin, as if waiting for her to give more details.

"Now that everyone in Tingxueju has left, this is your chance. The emperor's health is bad now - the King of Qin will definitely fight the prince. I want you to represent Pei Yi and stand on the side of the King of Qin."

Qin Baiwei looked at Lin, then smiled faintly and said, "Since the princess has come to me, what benefits can I get after the matter is accomplished?"

Lin said: "The advantage is that you can become the hostess of Tingxueju."

Qin Baiwei placed her hands on the stone table, touched the edge of the table with her fingers, looked in the direction of Tingxueju, smiled slightly, and nodded to Lin: "Since the Crown Prince's Consort has given up the seat, it's mine."

Xie Zhichan led everyone through the secret passage of Pei Yi's study for about an hour.

When he came out again, he had already left the entire street where Prince Yan's Mansion was located, and was exactly in the Nanfeng Pavilion that Pei Yi had been to before.

When the owner of Nanfeng Pavilion saw the token left by Pei Yi in Xie Zhichan's hand, he immediately placed the people in the back hall and prepared ordinary people's clothes for them.

The city gates were closed at this time, and it was impossible to leave the city without leaving any traces. So Xie Zhichan and others spent the night in the back hall of Nanfeng Pavilion.

On the morning of the next day, he got on the carriage prepared by the inn owner, disguised as an ordinary citizen leaving the city, and left through the west gate.

Dan Feng and Yue Yan drove the carriage and took everyone to the outskirts of the city.

We went up a mountain and stopped in front of a villa.

This villa is none other than the hot spring villa owned by Xie Zhichan.

The villa here is backed by a towering cliff, with only a road leading up the mountain in front. The houses built in the hot spring villa are half embedded in the cliff, and look quite like stilt houses.

This is undoubtedly an excellent place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

What Xie Zhichan didn't tell everyone was that there was another cave in the mountain and another place where people could be hidden secretly. He only told everyone when something urgent happened.

Several people settled down here.

That night, after waiting in the palace for a long time, no one showed up. When Emperor Jingde sent Eunuch Fu to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to pick someone up, he found out that except for Lin and Qin Baiwei, Prince of Yan Pei Yuan, the Crown Prince's Consort, and several young ladies had all disappeared.

When Eunuch Fu hurried back to the palace, Emperor Jingde could no longer hold on. He fainted from the pain and did not wake up all night.

He still did not wake up the next day, and remained in a coma from then on, so he was unable to order the imperial guards to capture Xie Zhichan.

The group then spent a few peaceful days in the mountains.

Before I knew it, a month had passed since Pei Yi left.

Xie Zhichan just felt that he was getting more and more sleepy. Today, he slept until lunch time.

Mai Sui combed her hair into a beautiful style and said with a smile, "Dan Feng shot a rabbit, and the ugly mother-in-law made a Gong Bao rabbit. She said that the Crown Princess seemed to be lacking in energy recently, so she wanted to give you a good boost."

As soon as Mai Sui finished speaking, Xie Zhichan couldn't help but vomit.

She was afraid of vomiting in the house, which would be too troublesome to clean up, so she took a few steps out of the door and went to the yard before she dared to vomit.

The ugly old woman passing by saw it and ran over, grabbed her hand and felt her pulse, then looked at Xie Zhichan, smiled so much that her eyes could not see, and said, "Crown Princess, you are pregnant."

Then he stamped his feet in anger and scolded Pei Yi, "My wife is pregnant and working hard to guard the rear for him, but he has been away for a month and has not brought back a single word. Even if he just wanted to report that he is safe, it would save everyone from worrying about him."

Xie Zhichan almost vomited the bile in his stomach. After hearing the ugly old woman's curse, he knew that she was doing it for his own good, so he comforted her, "There are many things to do on the battlefield. He must not want me to worry, so he didn't tell me anything. He didn't accompany me, but he sent a little one to accompany me, which is also good."

After hearing this, the ugly old woman thought for a moment and said, "That's true. I just hope that I'm here to repay you and not torment you."

Mai Sui, Xiao Liu'er and Dan Feng were all very happy when they learned that Xie Zhichan was pregnant.

Before lunch time was over, Pei Jingshu and Pei Jingyu also got the news and came to Xie Zhichan to congratulate him, hoping that the little guy could bless his father to return victoriously as soon as possible.

After all, man proposes, God disposes——
