After thinking for a moment, Shen Jingyi curled up a vicious smile.

She thought to herself, "How can I be the only one having fun? It's better for everyone to play together."

This thought kept circling in her mind, making her feel a strong excitement.

She looked at the secret guard with a strange light in her eyes and ordered, "Go to the back door and watch. Come back immediately when they come in."

"Yes," the secret guard took the order without hesitation, and disappeared into the night after a few takeoffs and landings.

Then, Shen Jingyi turned his gaze to another secret guard, "You and Qiu Kui take this woman to the woodshed and lock her up."

"Yes, concubine," Qiu Kui responded quickly, walked over, grabbed Zhang Po's arm, and dragged her away.

Although Mrs. Zhang was terrified, she was powerless to resist and could only let them take her away. The despair on her face became more and more obvious in the darkness.

After they all left, Shen Jingyi finally turned his attention back to Chunliu, his eyes becoming serious, "Chunliu, are you mine or the prince's?"

When Chun Liu heard Shen Jingyi ask this, she immediately realized its importance and answered without hesitation: "Ever since I came to the concubine's side, I have been the concubine's person."

Shen Jingyi was very satisfied with this answer. She nodded and said, "Very good. Then come closer and listen."

Upon hearing this, Chun Liu immediately put his ear close, with a respectful look, looking forward to the instructions he was about to receive.

Afterwards, Shen Jingyi whispered a few words in her ear, and Chunliu's expression instantly became excited.

She nodded vigorously and walked out briskly.

Chuntao and Xiazhu looked at each other, very curious about what their master had just said to Chunliu and why she became so excited.

Nanny Qin did guess a little, but she wasn't very sure.

In the main courtyard, Chu Mengyao, dressed in a simple and elegant dress, sat in the hall, playing chess with a focused expression.

The sound of the black and white pieces falling on the chessboard is crisp and pleasant, as if it is the rhythm of the passing of time.

Her four maids stood quietly on both sides with respectful expressions, occasionally looking up to the window, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in their expressions.

After a while, Nanny Zhao walked in hurriedly.

He reported anxiously: "Princess, the King of Qi is leading his troops to force the palace, and is now at the gate of the palace."

After hearing this, Chu Mengyao didn't even raise her head, and the chess piece in her hand still fell steadily on the chessboard.

There was a "pop" sound in the quiet hall.

"Your Highness is prepared, don't worry." Her words were like a tranquilizer, calming the atmosphere around them a little.

Seeing Chu Mengyao so calm, Aunt Zhao also felt relieved. She approached Chu Mengyao carefully and said softly, "They are here."

After hearing this, Chu Mengyao revealed a faint smile.

"Very good, then let's wait and finish it!"

"Yes," Madam Zhao replied respectfully.

"Mammy, don't just stand there. Come play the next round with me.

Playing chess alone is always a little less interesting.”

Chu Mengyao turned her head slightly and looked at Aunt Zhao with gentle eyes.

He doesn't look like the person who just said he was going to collect the bodies.

Zhao Ma Ma smiled and sat down opposite Chu Mengyao. "Okay, then I will play with you, Princess. As long as you don't mind my poor chess skills, that's fine."

The two men began to play chess in front of the chessboard. In the quiet hall, the sound of chess pieces colliding and the sound of wind outside the window complemented each other, seeming to foreshadow the upcoming turmoil and changes.

At this time, the Youlan Courtyard was brightly lit, and occasionally there were a few women's giggles, as if they were unaware of the crisis hidden in the night.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open gently from the outside.

The four guards lurking in the dark were instantly tense and thought to themselves, "Finally they are here."

A moment later, five masked men in black came in one after another, moving very lightly for fear of disturbing the woman in the courtyard.

The last man in black to enter muttered, "Why do we have to go through the door? It's much more convenient to climb over the wall."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

"Stupid! Didn't the boss say that we need to move some stuff? How much can you take by climbing over the wall?"

A man in black spoke in a low voice with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"I thought I could just take a bag and put the jewellery in it!"

The man responded quietly, but his tone was innocent.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and lock the door quickly."

Another man in black urged, looking around and keeping alert.

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

After the door was closed, the five people walked towards the main house in a swagger.

When they reached the middle of the yard, the person in front suddenly stopped, his body tensed, and he said in a serious tone: "Why is there no sound?"

"Third brother, you are just too timid. I have found out clearly that there are only a few women in this yard, and only one of them can fight.

There are five of us, are we still afraid of her?"

A man in black had a look of disdain on his face and arrogance in his eyes.

However, just as he finished his words, a cold light flashed in the air, and a hidden weapon flew towards them quickly, heading straight for the man in black in front of them.

He was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The hidden weapon happened to fly past his shoulder, causing a slight gust of wind.
