Xiao Jue kept wondering why the man in black kept looking at Ah Cai.

Could it be that after the person in the palace lifted the house arrest, he has already set his sights on Ah Cai?

It's really terrifying to think about it carefully. When Xiao Jue thought of this, he suddenly felt deeply guilty for rashly running to Yangxin Lake to pray for lanterns recently.

If he hadn't made his affair with Ah Cai known to the whole city in such a high-profile manner, her Ah Cai wouldn't have been in such danger.

It seems...

It's time to eradicate this force in the palace.

I don’t know if someone did it on purpose, but Lin Shiqing happened to sit opposite Li Caiyu.

As long as he raised his head slightly, his eyes would naturally fall on Li Caiyu uncontrollably.

It was nothing once or twice, but after the third time, their eyes suddenly met, and even Li Caiyu realized belatedly that something was wrong.

She is no longer a girl who is just beginning to fall in love. How could she not see such obvious thoughts?

But ever since she divorced her ex-husband, she had completely given up the idea of ​​remarrying.

Sister Acai is right, women can live well without men.

She had taken care of her health in the past two years and opened this restaurant, which undoubtedly gave her a second life.

Nirvana and rebirth.

How dare she give up so easily again and make the same mistake again?

Won't…

She wouldn't be that stupid.

Thinking of this, there was no trace of emotion in Li Caiyu's eyes anymore, and the look she gave Lin Shiqing was indescribably frank.

Lin Acai silently observed everyone throughout the whole process, and she could guess almost everyone's thoughts.

But for some reason, when she glanced at the man next to her, although he still smiled at her with loving eyes and his two dimples were still visible, she always had the illusion that he seemed to be trying hard to suppress his anger in his heart.

He has something on his mind.

When coming out of Yucai Restaurant, Lin Acai noticed something was wrong again.

Bai Jing, who usually followed the young master closely and was almost inseparable from him, disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there were five or six guards who had been guarding the entrance of the restaurant.

The fierce aura all around.

Lin Acai was familiar with almost all the guards in Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion, but it was obvious that none of them were new to her and she didn't recognize any of them.

"...Where did Bai Jing go?" After enduring for a long time, Lin Acai couldn't help but ask.

The queen behind him also pricked up her ears curiously when she heard this.

I haven't seen this person around for most of the day, and I feel uneasy.

"It should be nearby."

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, hugged Lin Acai in his arms, and glanced around mysteriously, as if with a hint of provocation.

No, who is this person looking at?

Lin Acai was about to get angry when she heard a voice in her ear: "Don't move... There are so many people here, and you never know who has bad intentions. I can only feel at ease if I hold you in my arms."

"..."

It was obvious that this was a lie. There was no need to think that it was the same as before. It must be another trick of this man to take advantage of her.

She wouldn't believe it.

Thinking of this, Lin Acai struggled to get out of Xiao Jue's arms, pointed at an inconspicuous rouge shop on the side of the road, and looked at Yu Jie:

"Sister, let's go. I'm happy today. You can pick any rouge and powder you want. They will all be charged to my account."

Yujie: "Thank you, girl..."

I originally thought that this man and my cheap brother would never follow me into a place like a rouge shop.

I never expected that no one would be left behind.

As soon as Lin Acai stepped over the threshold, two tall men followed her in.

Lin Acai turned around and frowned, "Are you sure you want to follow me in?"

Xiao Jue's worry was written all over his face, and he retorted: "I have to stay by your side and keep an eye on you all the time so that I can feel at ease."

"What about you?" Lin Acai looked at the cheap brother.

Lin Shiqing blushed and said after a long pause: "Good sister... help me pick out a few boxes of the most expensive and best rouge later. I want to give them away."

"..."

have to…

She was being nosy and shouldn't have asked at all.

As a result, after walking around the rouge shop, the royal sister and the cheap brother both picked up rouge in their hands, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

Looking at the love-minded Prince Xiao beside him, he had slowly transitioned from the arm-in-arm position to holding hands.

Lin Acai: “…”

Please let go, my palms are sweaty.

Lin Acai was complaining in her heart.

Fortunately, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the streets were crowded with people, so no one paid too much attention to them.

Lin Acai was just thinking too simply.

In fact, most of the passers-by were frightened by the six sword-carrying guards surrounding her. They did not dare to approach her, let alone take any extra glances at them.

Once the murderous look met, it would be impossible to explain it.

"A Cai...have you had enough shopping?" Xiao Jue looked at the little woman in front of him with a doting face.

"It's still early. The spices in the kitchen are almost used up. I might as well buy some to take back with me today." The little woman had a keen nose. After walking a few steps, she could smell the scent of star anise and cinnamon.

But as soon as she broke free from their tightly held hands, Xiao Jue's face darkened.

Just as he was about to catch up and lead the way, suddenly a black shadow jumped out from behind and pounced straight towards Lin Acai's back!

Xiao Jue had a bad feeling.

He frowned suddenly, and the sharp cold light of the dagger flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Jue rushed forward angrily, grabbed the man in black by the neck from behind, and slammed him against the wall!

The man in black stared with frightened eyes and almost suffocated.

A mouthful of blood splattered on the spot instantly.

Xiao Jue slowly let go...

The man in black fell down instantly and knelt on the ground.

"..."

Lin Acai stared at the wall behind him in disbelief.

Eyes widened.

That wall actually cracked by itself?

How much inner strength does it take to achieve this?

"I'm here! Ah Cai, don't be afraid..." Xiao Jue walked forward, hugged the dazed little woman in his arms, and comforted her softly.

Perhaps because she was hugged too tightly, Lin Acai suddenly felt a little suffocated.

I feel like I'm hallucinating...

Two guards had dragged the dying man in black in front of her, facing her with a bloody face.

On the roof not far away, Bai Jing seemed to be fighting with another man in black who appeared out of nowhere.

The man in black was obviously no match for Bai Jing.

After his eyes fell on her several times, he finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore and jumped away.

"These people...are they the same group as those black-clad men from Xinghua Village?"

Lin Acai, who was slowly released, was already frightened out of her wits. With empty eyes, she thought for a long time as she looked at the man in front of her.

Xiao Jue nodded slowly.

For her safety, I can't hide it from her.

At this time, Bai Jing came up to his master and said, "Master...the people are heading towards the palace."

"Let's interrogate this man carefully and see how many accomplices he has behind the scenes."

Bai Jing: "Master! Oh no, this guy committed suicide by taking poison!"

"..."

When the onlookers heard that someone had died, they were so scared that they ran away in all directions.

How many people are there?

Looking at the fleeing figure in front of him, Xiao Jue knew that there must be accomplices of the man in black mixed in here.

"Take the body of the man in black to the General's Mansion for a thorough inspection to see if there are any other clues on him."
