The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

"Ah! There's an assassin! Protect the king! Quickly!" Yuan Yi screamed in fear, and the shadow guards surrounded Yuan Xichen as quickly as possible and protected him.

Yuan Xichen also stood up at that moment.

Everyone searched everywhere but did not find the assassin.

Finally, his sight fell on a pillar, on which a sharp arrow was firmly fixed.

Looking closely, there seems to be a note on it.

To prevent any fraud, Yuan Yi personally stepped forward, opened the note and placed it in front of Yuan Xichen.

There were only a few words clearly written on the note:

"I am willing to lend a helping hand to the prince. If you want to know the inside story of the refugees, please go to the ruined temple ten miles outside the suburbs at midnight tonight.

I have no choice but to do this because I am behind bars. If you have frightened Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking such a desperate measure.

But this matter is extremely important and is also related to the prince, so please trust me. In order to prevent any accidents, I will not write my real name for the time being."

After reading it, Yuan Xichen became more interested in this mysterious note.

Since others have said it so directly, it doesn't hurt to go and take a look.

Yuan Yi was afraid that there might be something fishy about this matter, and was not very willing for Yuan Xichen to go and meet him.

He thought for a while, then asked seriously: "Your Majesty, do you think the person who sent this note is from the court?

I am worried that this might be a trap to lure you in. It would be dangerous to meet him at this late hour."

Yuan Yi felt that it couldn't be such a coincidence that as soon as they discovered the refugee problem, someone came forward.

Maybe this is a trap set by someone else, which is very possible.

Yuan Xichen didn't take it to heart, he thought that he could just go there and counter the opponent's moves.

He seemed to have made up his mind, and his sexy thin lips opened slightly: "It's okay, just go and meet him. You can make some arrangements and bring a few more people.

In addition, everyone should go to bed early tonight. After we leave the house, we cannot relax inside.

We should leave earlier to see what tricks this guy is up to."

After saying that, Yuan Xichen ate a little and put down his chopsticks.

Yuan Yi saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to accept his fate and obey. He also hoped that things would go smoothly, otherwise if something happened to the prince, he would have several heads to chop off.

Yuan Yi said in a rather helpless tone: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will arrange all of this. Your safety is the most important thing.

No matter what that person's purpose is, we must not take it lightly. I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Yuan Yi was always thinking about Yuan Xichen and did not dare to take any risks.

In case things change, he had to make full preparations.

However, Yuan Xichen did not respond immediately after hearing this, and no emotion could be seen in his deep eyes.

The atmosphere fell into a strange awkwardness for a while, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

His eyes were fixed on the concave part of the pillar, and he said without a trace of warmth in his tone:

"Tell me what you think first. If it's feasible, then it's fine. Of course, if someone really wants to come up and get himself killed, I will naturally help them."

The sweet and sour fish cooked tonight tasted very good. Yuan Xichen took another bite and started eating, then ate another mouthful of white rice.

The braised fish was fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and was topped with a layer of red juice.

It tastes sour and sweet, which Yuan Xichen has never eaten before.

In fact, this dish was also from the "Fragrant Pavilion" restaurant. It was delivered in the afternoon and was said to be a new way of eating fish for Yu Qingqing's family.

From then on, he provided fish to the restaurant every day, charging fifty cents per pound of fish, and the restaurant also spent twenty taels of silver to buy them.

Yuan Yi saw that the atmosphere had eased and immediately said, "I am worried that there might be a fraud, so I want to find someone to go to the meeting on your behalf. You can just observe from the dark, there is no need to risk yourself."

Yuan Yi even already has a candidate, and that person is himself, the best one.

After all, the news cannot be leaked easily, and Chen Yi is not here. Then let Ying Twenty protect the prince closely.

I have to say that Yuan Yi is also a meticulous person.

Take every aspect into consideration, it's better to be safe than sorry.

The so-called "you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others" is a truth that applies at all times. And it is for the sake of safety, so it is not considered a mean behavior.

Yuan Yi felt that the prince would definitely agree, after all, this was the best way.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong about this. Yuan Xichen did not intend to do so.

Yuan Xichen said without hesitation: "Let's not consider this for now. I want to see who this person is in person.

I am not afraid that he will cheat. No one who can show off his power in my territory has been born yet. You and Ying Twenty just need to follow me, and the others will be protected in secret."

This is the damn desire of men to win, and they feel that they can do anything. Yuan Yi rolled his eyes to the sky in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.

He just pursed his lips sadly and pretended to touch his head to cover up the embarrassment at that moment.

Since the prince has made up his mind, all he can do is follow his orders.

Yuan Yi immediately responded, "I will make arrangements right away. I will not let anyone hurt you. Please enjoy your time, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now!"

Yuan Yi felt that there was no time to lose and he had to prepare some hidden weapons. Moreover, the people he brought over had to be strictly checked.

After Yuan Yi left, Yuan Xichen continued to eat slowly. After about a quarter of an hour, he put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that Yuan Xichen didn't eat anymore, the nanny and maid next to him quickly cleared the tableware away.

After eating, my body was covered in sweat and I felt very uncomfortable.

Then he came to the bathhouse and prepared to take a comfortable bath.

The maids and servants in the palace also began to take action.

Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do in an orderly manner, except for one of the maids who had a wandering look in his eyes.

The maid deliberately lowered her head so that no one would notice her and no one could see her appearance clearly.

After the hot water was ready, Yuan Xichen slowly stepped into the bathtub. The water just covered his calves and the water temperature was just right.

Yuan Xichen then dismissed everyone and only left a few guards waiting outside.

The bathtub was filled with roses, some white, some red, and some pink.

The rose fragrance drifts into people's noses through the mist, making people feel that their whole body and mind are relaxed at that moment.

Yuan Xichen relaxed completely at this moment and didn't pay attention to the situation around him.

Just when he was enjoying himself comfortably, something unexpected happened.
