"Hmph! Master, he was so confident just now, but he changed his attitude in the blink of an eye. It's really hard to understand. However, I think you should not get too deeply involved, lest one day in the future he listens to his mother and abandons you. After all, there is a family bond between them, and Xiaobai doesn't want you to regret it in the future!"

Murong Zixi fell into deep thought, Xiaobai's words kept echoing in her mind.

The carriage was very quiet. After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowly stopped and Tianyi's voice came from outside: "Miss Murong, we've arrived."

Murong Zixi came back to her senses and glanced at Jun Feimo opposite her, only to see that he still had his eyes closed.

"Thank you." After saying that, she opened the curtain and got out of the carriage lightly.

Murong Zixi nodded towards the sky and then walked into the gate.

When her figure disappeared at the door, Jun Feimo, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could penetrate everything. He stared ahead quietly. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Go back home."

Tianyi immediately responded, "Yes."

Then he raised the whip and drove the carriage away.

After returning to the mansion, Murong Zixi found Xiao Cui waiting anxiously at the door.

Seeing her coming back, Xiao Cui was overjoyed and went forward to greet her, asking with concern: "Miss, you are finally back. I was so worried about you."

Murong Zixi smiled slightly and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry."

Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look Murong Zixi up and down. Only after confirming that she was not injured did she feel relieved.

Nanny Li also came over and muttered, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're okay..."

At this time, the sky gradually darkened. After Murong Zixi had dinner, she drank medicine, washed up, climbed onto the bed, and gave herself acupuncture in an attempt to speed up the recovery of her body.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, suddenly, a fierce murderous intent came from outside the window.

She immediately became alert, gently turned over and got out of bed, quickly put on her clothes, hid behind the bed, and stared coldly at the window.

Suddenly, after a slight sound, a figure in black clothes quietly and silently climbed into the room like a ghost.

He walked directly to the bed, his sharp eyes locked on the slightly bulging bedding.

The long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light and stabbed into the quilt without hesitation. Only a light "swish" sound was heard and the tip of the sword was pulled out, but no blood was seen.

The man in black frowned, feeling a little uneasy. He pulled back the quilt and found that there was only a lonely pillow inside, and the man was nowhere to be seen.

In the shadow behind the bed, Murong Zixi's eyes were as cold as ice. She tightly grasped a silenced pistol taken out from the space storage, and pointed the muzzle steadily at the head of the man in black.

Her eyes were as cold as polar ice, chilling. Her finger gently rested on the trigger, and then slowly pulled the trigger. The man in black keenly sensed the danger, and he subconsciously dodged to the side, but still failed to completely avoid it.

In an instant, a bright blood flower bloomed on his shoulder, like a flower suddenly blooming in the night sky.

He groaned, a look of pain on his face. He wondered what kind of hidden weapon was this?

Murong Zixi did not give her opponent a chance to breathe, her movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the target again, and another crisp gunshot was heard.

This time, the man in black was shot in the left leg. The severe pain made him stagger and almost fall to the ground.

His eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief. This hidden weapon was so powerful that even a master like him found it difficult to avoid it.

The man in black knew that he had failed and was injured. If he continued to fight, he might lose his life.

So, he endured the pain, turned around and ran towards the window.

He leaped forward and his figure quickly disappeared into the night like a ghost.

Murong Zixi walked steadily to the window and looked quietly at the darkness outside.

Her eyes finally fell on a waist badge left on the ground. It must have been dropped by the man in black when he fled in a hurry.

She bent down to pick up the badge and looked at it carefully in the faint moonlight.

The words "Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards" were clearly engraved on her waist badge. Her face instantly turned cold and she understood everything in her heart.

"Master~"

"Huh! You want to kill me? Do you really think I'm as weak as Lin Daiyu? Before we leave the capital, I must drop a bomb on the Cining Palace."

"Master, the palace is heavily guarded and there are many experts. I'm afraid you will be discovered if you go in, right?"

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows. "Xiaobai, of course this serious task is given to you. How can I go out in person? That's the imperial palace, and I don't know the ancient martial arts skills."

Xiaobai wagged his tail, "Okay, Xiaobai promises to complete the task!"

Murong Zixi was very unhappy now, "I'm not sleepy anymore, Xiaobai, let's go to the general's mansion to play."

"Okay, Master~"

Murong Zixi carried Xiaobai out of the room, left the house, and walked on the empty street.

After walking two streets, we finally arrived at the General's Mansion.

On one side of the general's mansion, a lithe figure nimbly climbed over the high wall.

Murong Zixi held Xiaobai in her arms. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the quiet courtyard. She walked leisurely between the corridors with small steps, and finally stopped outside the main courtyard.

The flickering candlelight in the room cast two blurry figures, one still and one moving, as if they were plotting some unspeakable secret.

Murong Zixi frowned slightly, staring at the room where Murong Yunhai was, and muttered to herself, "Who would he be with at this time?"

Driven by curiosity, Murong Zixi walked gently to the window and put her ear to the window frame, trying to hear the conversation of the people in the room. However, the voices were so low that she could not hear clearly.

Through the gap in the window, Murong Zixi saw a mysterious man in black robe sitting opposite Murong Yunhai.

The man in black robe took out a thick stack of silver bills from his sleeve and handed it to Murong Yunhai.

Murong Yunhai's face instantly became ecstatic, and his attitude towards the man in black robe became more respectful.

The man in black robe stood up. Murong Zixi's heart tightened and she quickly moved to a dark place nearby.

A moment later, the figure wrapped tightly in a black robe left the room.

Only when the black-robed man disappeared from sight did Murong Zixi quietly walk out from the darkness with a bag of fine powder in her hand.

She carefully pushed the window open, leaving a narrow gap, and then gently sprinkled the powder into the house.

After doing all this, Murong Zixi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

A moment later, Murong Zixi pushed the door open and walked in. A faint strange fragrance filled the air. Murong Zixi stepped into the room and saw Murong Yunhai sleeping at the desk, still holding the stack of banknotes tightly in his hand.

Murong Zixi raised a playful smile and took out the banknote easily.
