Then she looked at the three of them and said, "Since you are worried, the sooner the better. I will leave today. Ziran, Ayu, Lei, Daqi will be handed over to you for the time being."

After years of working in tacit agreement, they realized the master/Azhi's intention in making such an arrangement, and also knew her personality.

Several people were silent for a while, looked at each other, stood up and accepted the order, "Yes!"

Three voices spoke in unison.

Three quarters of the hour.

On the official road outside the city, a woman in black wearing a mask was leading the way, followed by a group of people, all of whom were riding horses and galloping out.

-

"Young master, this journey is destined to be bumpy! You may have to work hard next." Ming Yu took Yan Yunqi and walked quickly through the winding palace corridors, his expression extremely heavy.

However, when she was with her master, she was always going in and out of the palace, and the layout of the palace was basically the same, so she could easily avoid the palace servants who might appear and go to a remote place.

"Don't ask me whether it's hard or not. After all, no one could have expected the experience of this trip." Yan Yunqi shook his head and looked around vigilantly.

"Quick, search for the assassin carefully. Lord Feng has ordered that once the assassin is found, he should be stabbed to death." Bursts of hurried footsteps sounded not far away, as if all the soldiers in the palace were chasing them.

The two were really confused by such a scene.

Logically speaking, it should be only the secret guards of the emperor who are hunting them down, so how come even the Phoenix Lord was alarmed? Listening to the meaning, something must have happened, which led to the Phoenix Lord issuing a hunting order against them.

Suddenly I remembered that I learned the secret from the eldest princess, and the emperor was there at the time.

Could it be... Could it be that the Royal Lord took action against the eldest princess?

The two parties were originally in a hostile relationship, but now it has turned into Feng Jun chasing them. That is to say, maybe something happened to the eldest princess, but in Feng Jun's ears, it became that they were the ones who did it?

"If this is true, this royal noble is truly vicious!" Yan Yunqi let out a sigh of relief.

Ming Yu naturally thought of the meaning behind this, and immediately gritted his teeth at Huang Guijun's behavior.

But before they could say anything, the footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer.

Helplessly, Ming Yu had to change direction, holding Yan Yunqi's arm and dodging everywhere, passing through the palace corridors.

Every time the two turned around and moved forward, they felt extremely nervous and depressed, and even their breathing began to become heavy.

After all, this is a royal palace with deep and high walls and strict security. It would be fine if Mingyu was alone, but it would be more difficult to bring someone with no martial arts skills.

"Hurry, this place hasn't been searched yet!" A loud voice sounded in the front.

"Yes." A group of soldiers shouted like a loud bell.

Suddenly, footsteps were approaching. Seeing this, Ming Yu looked around and without hesitation pulled Yan Yunqi to a rockery cave nearby. The two of them clung to the cold stone wall.

But this is not a solution. They must find a way to get out quickly. The longer it takes, the more difficult it will become.

Yan Yunqi stared for a moment, then signaled Mingyu with his eyes to go to a cave door on the left that was temporarily empty, because the footsteps behind him were approaching again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they passed through the cave, they met several soldiers face to face. Yan Yun stood up and waved the medicine powder in her hand. The soldiers fell to the ground without even having time to make a sound.

This rockery was unusually large, with many cave entrances, so the two continued to move through it.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from a hole nearby and pulled Yan Yunqi over. While doing so, Yan Yunqi turned around and stabbed the person who was pulling his arm with a silver needle.

"You are still so fierce!" A teasing voice sounded in my ears.

Ming Yu was about to swing the knife, but when she heard the familiar voice, she stopped the knife immediately. Because she was in the cave and the light was not very clear, she did not realize who the person was.

Yan Yunqi's wrist holding the silver needle was blocked by Sikong Canxue. Ming Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support the young master and "inadvertently" brushed Sikong Canxue's hand away from the young master's arm.

Yan Yunqi ignored her teasing and asked calmly: "What is your purpose for appearing here?"

While questioning, the poison in his hand was revealed. If she also came here to arrest someone, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless.

Sikong Canxue frowned and looked at him, feeling a little annoyed for some reason.

It seemed that no matter what time it was, this person always looked at him with a cold and indifferent expression.

However, she didn’t know what she was thinking, but she didn’t care, but quickly explained: “I’m not that ungrateful!”

The next moment, his expression was solemn: "The eldest princess is dead. The truth that Feng Jun learned is that she was poisoned to death by you. Therefore, the palace is surrounded like an iron barrel at this moment. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a fly flies by, it will not escape being killed."

"What? The eldest princess is dead?" Upon hearing the news, Yan Yunqi and Ming Yu were shocked.

"Yeah." Sikong Canxue nodded.

The two looked at each other and immediately understood.

It seems they guessed right!

But now it would be extremely difficult to leave Minxi Kingdom safely.

The two men's expressions became increasingly solemn.

"Let's go! I know there is a secret passage in the palace leading to outside the city. I will take you out." Sikong Canxue looked at the two of them and said suddenly.

Ignoring their questioning looks, she took the lead.

With no other choice, Yan Yunqi and Ming Yu were silent for a moment, then followed.

Sikong Canxue was very familiar with the imperial palace. She led Yan Yunqi and the other person past all the guards easily. Soon, she led them to a seemingly ordinary stone cave, slowly entered, and reached the end after only a few steps.

Sikong Canxue calmly groped in the groove on the stone wall beside him. With a "click", the stone wall at the end in front of him slowly opened, revealing a deep and narrow secret passage.

"Let's go!"

Once again, Sikong Canxue entered first.

Yan Yunqi and Ming Yu followed closely behind. After all three of them stepped in, the stone door behind them slowly closed.

It was dark in the secret passage. Sikong Canxue took out a night-shining pearl from his arms, and the faint light guided the people forward.

As we went deeper, the air in the secret passage became increasingly damp and cold, and the surrounding stone walls were covered with moss, as if no one had ever walked through this passage.

"Do you know who killed the eldest princess?" Suddenly, Yan Yunqi's low voice sounded in the secret passage.

After saying this, the figure in front paused slightly.

Seeing this, Yan Yunqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

The man in front of me paused for a while before speaking, but his voice was low and hoarse, "Of course, after all, I witnessed the whole process."

"Really? In other words, you know?"

The words were not clear, but everyone present knew what he meant.

Sikong Canxue held the night-shining pearl in her hand, her brows lowered, and she did not answer for a long time, but in the end, she still replied softly.

"......Um."

He had just noticed that she was in a bad mood, and a princess suddenly did not call herself "Her Highness" in front of them. Seeing all these anomalies, Yan Yunqi couldn't help but doubt whether she knew the truth.

"then you......"

"Then why didn't I kill you to silence you, but saved you instead? So you suspect that I have ulterior motives, right?" Sikong Canxue sneered and took over his words.

"Don't worry, I promised to rescue you, and I won't break my promise. Keep going!"

After saying that, the figure in front did not stop and walked forward quickly.

The conversation ended like this, and the secret passage fell into a long silence.
