Peach Blossom.

"Stop!" Chen Ji jumped down from the beam, dressed in black again, but without a mask.

Cailing let go of Xiaowan.

Xiaowan met Chen Ji again. He always had a faint smile on his face, a smile that only seemed to make people feel cold.

Chen Ji came over and told Cai Ling, "Stay outside. I have something to say to her alone."

Cai Ling's face looked very ugly. Without saying a word, she stuffed all the memorials and letters hidden on her body to Chen Ji and turned around to leave.

Seeing that Cai Ling did not close the door, Chen Ji had to go and close it himself.

As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Wan felt even more nervous. She knew that Si Yu might come looking for the lost letter at any time, and she and Chen Ji were alone in the same room...

Before he had time to think too much, Chen Ji suddenly hugged Xiaowan.

"Let me go!" Xiaowan panicked and tried hard to shake Chen Ji off.

Chen Ji let go of his hand, but smiled frivolously: "Are you still so reserved?"

"You hugged me just to feel where the letters are hidden!" Xiaowan took a few steps back, leaned her back against the edge of the bed, crossed her arms over her chest to protect herself, and her whole body was shaking.

Chen Ji restrained his smile and nodded: "Your brain is indeed much better than Tao Ye's!"

Xiao Wan looked at Chen Ji, shivering constantly, her voice trembling as she did so: "You...you said you would take care of the aftermath! He...he drank very little medicine...he won't sleep for long, he could come over at any time..."

Chen Ji smiled and nodded, then he moved closer to Xiao Wan and whispered, "So, I can't stay here forever. This is your bedroom. If the government... or someone else sees me here, you will definitely die! Hurry up and give me the things, and I'll leave as soon as possible!"

"No! I...I stole the government's confidential things, which is already a capital crime! You can't just walk away, you must help me escape the crime..." Xiaowan shook her head desperately, her whole body curled up, extremely timid.

Chen Ji was helpless and sighed: "Taoye has a mirror as big as a palm. It's very beautiful, a double-sided mirror, but only one side can reflect. Have you seen it?"

Xiaowan nodded, but she didn't know what Chen Ji meant by this.

Chen Ji continued, "That mirror is a magical object. It's the tool she uses to communicate with me, but I haven't used it for a long time. I guess she has put it aside. If you steal the mirror, you can keep in touch with me at any time. I will help you figure out a way to escape based on the actual situation! But I really can't stay here for long. It's not good for you or me!"

Xiao Wan was confused and tangled: "Sister Taoye...she...she is so good to me, how could I steal her things?"

"Her mirror has no other use except to communicate with me. She may not notice if you steal it! Okay, I have thought of a solution for you. Give me the letters quickly!" Chen Ji approached Xiaowan again and stretched out his hand to her.

Xiaowan hesitated. She seemed to have many concerns. She was afraid that stealing the mirror was just a cover... What if the mirror was useless, or even if she could contact Chen Ji, Chen Ji would not help her... What should she do?

Chen Ji was also a little anxious, and urged: "Hurry up! Otherwise, are we really going to wait for him to catch us in the act?"

"I...I..." Xiaowan hesitated and still didn't take out the letter.

Chen Ji couldn't wait any longer, so he just pushed Xiaowan backwards and touched her body.

Xiaowan instinctively pushed Chen Ji away, but couldn't, so she kicked Chen Ji between the legs, causing Chen Ji to grimace in pain!

Cai Ling's alarmed cry came from outside the door: "Official...Official! Why are you here?"

At the same time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and it was a mad rush from far away, so Cai Ling had no time to stop it, and Si Yu had already pushed the door open!

Although the knockout drug was strong, Si Yu took a small amount. When Xie Cheng came in to put a cloak on him, he was already drowsy and somewhat conscious. He saw Xie Cheng, but not Xiao Wan.

Si Yu felt confused at the time, but his mind was not fully clear yet. He asked Xie Cheng dazedly: "Zhang Shuyuan...Where is Zhang Shuyuan?"

Xie Chenggong replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shuyuan just returned and asked me to pack something for you, saying that you fell asleep while reading the memorial."

Si Yu slowly raised his head, still feeling dizzy. He rubbed his head and felt depressed. He had never fallen asleep while reading memorials. He remembered that he slept well last night, and he was not sleepy at all when he was talking to Zhang Shuyuan. How could he fall asleep?

Although he woke up, he still felt dizzy, so he tried to stand up and walk around. However, as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and almost fell down!

"Your Majesty...you...what's wrong with you?" Xie Cheng hurriedly supported Si Yu.

Si Yu didn't fall, but he knocked over a pile of memorials on the table.

Xie Cheng asked: "Does the emperor want to summon the imperial physician?"

"No need." Si Yu sat down again.

Xie Chengxian helped Si Yu sit down, then hurried to pick up the memorials on the ground.

Si Yu rubbed his head and watched Xie Cheng picking up the memorials. As he watched, he seemed to realize that one of the memorials was missing!

Si Yu suddenly became clear-headed and looked hurriedly on the table and on the floor to confirm that a memorial was missing!

Xie Cheng was still picking up things, but he also noticed Si Yu's strangeness: "Master...what's wrong with you?"

"get out!"

Xie Cheng didn't quite understand, so he had to go out in shame.

Si Yu quickly poured out the key from his boots and opened the second drawer: as he expected, all the letters were gone, and there was only a pile of useless envelopes in the drawer!

He suddenly panicked and ran out of Hanzhang Palace.

The sun was setting in the west. Xie Cheng was rubbing his eyes outside the door. Suddenly, he saw Si Yu opening the door and then running out. He was stunned!

He had never seen the emperor run so fast!

Without having time to summon other palace servants, Xie Cheng hurriedly chased after Si Yu, still shouting: "My Lord! Slow down! Be careful not to fall!"

Si Yu ran very fast. Just as the gatekeeper of Fangle Palace opened his mouth to report, he had already gone in.

Cai Ling had sharp eyes and saw Si Yu as he just turned into the second door, so she asked in a loud voice, trying to remind Chen Ji to hide quickly.

But Chen Ji was in great pain and Si Yu ran fast, so he was caught in the act!

Si Yu pushed the door open and saw Xiao Wan who had just gotten up from the bed. Although Xiao Wan was wearing shoes, her hair and clothes were a little messy...

But what shocked Si Yu even more was the gloomy-faced man in black, Chen Ji, standing beside the bed!

"Chen Ji? Aren't you dead?"

Chen Ji did not respond to Si Yu's words. He held his breath and concentrated. The pain subsided a little and all his strength was concentrated in his hands.

Xie Cheng then followed to Xiaowan's door. When he saw Chen Ji, Xiaowan and others in the room, he was stunned: "This, this, this..."

Chen Ji winked at Cai Ling, and Cai Ling pushed Xie Cheng into the room, then closed the door and bolted it.

Si Yu turned around and saw it, and was shocked. Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, Chen Ji quickly covered his mouth and nose and pressed him to the ground.

Cai Ling, who was standing behind Xie Cheng, also grabbed Xie Cheng's neck, pointed a silver hairpin at his throat, and whispered, "Don't make a sound!"

Xie Cheng was so scared that his whole body was shaking, his eyes fixed on Si Yu who was pinned to the ground.

Si Yu has been a canary in a cage since he was young. His strength is simply incomparable to that of Chen Ji, who has been fighting in the army with his father since he was young!

Chen Ji quickly sat on Si Yu's body and covered Si Yu's mouth and nose with both hands. Si Yu tried to pull Chen Ji's arms hard, but... he couldn't move them... His face turned red and he looked at Xiao Wan with pleading eyes.

Xiao Wan was shivering in the corner. She saw the desire to survive in Si Yu's eyes...

She mustered up her courage, moved to Chen Ji's side, and said in a weak voice: "Master Chen, he...he is the current emperor..."

Chen Ji turned his head suddenly and stared at Xiao Wan, his face bulging with blue veins and full of murderous intent, and asked: "You already have two capital crimes, do you want to die?"

Xiao Wan was silent. She watched Si Yu pulling with his arms and kicking with his feet. Her tears flowed down, but she didn't dare to help...

Si Yu stared at Xiao Wan eagerly, shaking his head as much as he could, as if to say, "Please save me, I won't punish you, please save me!"

Xiao Wan hesitated and struggled. She saw Si Yu gave up tearing Chen Ji with one hand. He stretched out that hand towards her, stretching it so hard and so diligently. He was so eager for life, and he regarded her as the last straw...

But Xiaowan just cried.

She knew that if she shouted for help at this time, guards would definitely rush in to protect Si Yu, and Si Yu would have a chance to be saved. With Si Yu's generosity, he would most likely pardon her...

However, she also thought that if she turned against Si Yu at this time, Chen Ji would never let her go... She was definitely more afraid of Chen Ji than she was of Si Yu!

Watching Si Yu's face turn from red to blue, Xiaowan felt as if she was suffocating along with Si Yu!

Xie Cheng had already burst into tears when he saw Si Yu's hands and feet becoming less and less able to move. However, he was as cowardly and fearful of life as Xiao Wan.

Si Yu struggled, struggled, and struggled again. His arms and legs were completely powerless, and only his fingers were still shaking slightly. His eyes were still fixed on Xiao Wan, but his eyes had gradually changed from pleading to despair...

Xiao Wan didn't dare to look into Si Yu's eyes. She covered her mouth and cried. She had thought that maybe every day from now on, she would spend her days in endless regret and guilt... Maybe every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she would be deeply trapped in fear and guilty conscience...

Si Yu finally stopped moving, not moving at all.

The sweat on Chen Ji's head dripped down his chin. He slowly loosened his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaowan's tears fell like beads from a broken string. She suddenly fell to her knees and cried out loudly, but she still covered her mouth, not daring to speak loudly: "Sir... I'm... I'm sorry..."

These words were heard by Caiwei who had just walked out the door.

Caiwei didn't know Si Yu was here at first. She came to ask about dinner. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard Xiaowan say these words, and she was sobbing... This is really something wrong!

What made her feel even more wrong was that after Xiaowan apologized, why didn't she hear any response from Si Yu?

Caiwei felt something strange, and couldn't help but lean over and squint her eyes to take a look inside through the crack in the door...
