Chun Tao hurriedly fetched a cloak, carefully put it on Jiang Li, and then helped her back to the room. The man playing the flute followed them silently, and soon left quietly, disappearing into the peach forest.

However, just after the three men left, a mysterious figure with strange movements flashed out from the dense peach forest. This figure moved swiftly and cautiously, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others. He hid in the dark, watching everything that had just happened, with a cunning and sinister look on his face.

At this moment, the originally poetic and romantic scene turned out to be so filthy in the eyes of this uninvited guest. He witnessed the interaction between Jiang Li and the flute player, and what emerged in his mind were obscene pictures, and an obscene smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss, you have to wipe your body quickly and change into clean and comfortable clothes! If you catch a cold, it will be difficult to deal with if you get sick!" Chun Tao kept muttering to herself as she skillfully helped Jiang Li change her clothes, her concern evident in her words.

Jiang Li changed his clothes and went to Old Madam Xie's room. Jiang Li'er's room was very close to the old lady and her mother's room. It was only a few steps away.

"Grandma, mother, I'm here!" Jiang Li could not hide his excitement, his clear and pleasant voice was full of joy.

"Li'er, come to grandma quickly!" Old Madam Xie waved to her with a kind face.

Jiang Li walked quickly to the table and sat down with his grandmother and mother. The table was filled with exquisite vegetarian dishes. Although there was no meat, each dish was unique.

"Li'er, I heard from the servants that you went to the peach forest just now?" asked the grandmother softly.

Jiang Li's heart tightened, knowing that her grandmother and mother must have known that she was dancing in the peach forest, so she no longer concealed it and answered truthfully: "Yes, grandmother. Today the sun is shining brightly, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. I was moved by the scenery and felt happy. I couldn't help but dance in the forest."

After she finished speaking, she secretly looked up to observe the reactions of her grandmother and mother. Seeing that they did not blame her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, the melodious sound of the flute suddenly emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel curious. Who could play such a beautiful piece of music?

Jiang Li ate his vegetarian meal absentmindedly, his mind already flying to the mysterious peach forest...

"Changfeng, go find that colorful feathered dress quickly." Mu Jiuchen suddenly ordered, his voice low and firm. This sudden remark made Changfeng startled, and he secretly wondered what the prince meant by this.

After a slight hesitation, Changfeng responded respectfully: "Yes, sir. I'll go find him right away. But... why does the prince plan to send Sixteen here? And how can we properly place him next to Miss Jiang?" Facing Changfeng's series of questions, Mu Jiuchen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Don't worry, Sixteen has her own methods." Mu Jiuchen responded lightly, but his eyes revealed his trust and affirmation in Sixteen.

Seeing this, Changfeng said nothing more and turned to leave to carry out his mission. However, deep down, he was still full of curiosity and anticipation for the next plan.

After a moment, Mu Jiuchen seemed to remember something important. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I will dispatch some more people later to protect the safety of the people from the Jiang and Xie families. Remember not to take it lightly, especially to make sure Miss Jiang is safe." There was a hint of worry in his words.

It turned out that many enemy spies had infiltrated Dashang recently, and the situation was quite tense. Mu Jiuchen came here because he received a tip-off that these spies were most likely hiding in the temple. Therefore, he had to be extra careful, not only to complete the capture mission, but also to ensure the safety of innocent people and the Jiang and Xie families.

After dinner at nightfall, Jiang Li returned to her own room. She sat quietly beside the low table, washed her hands, spread out the paper, and prepared to start copying the scriptures.

Time passed by little by little, as if it was contained in that exquisite hourglass. After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Li finally slowly put down the brush in his hand and gently kneaded his somewhat sore wrist. At this time, Chun Tao walked in and said softly, "Miss, it's getting late, you should rest. If you stay up too late, your eyes will not be able to bear it!"

"Okay, miss, we'll withdraw first. If you need anything, please call us at any time." Chun Tao and Xia He said in unison, but there was still a hint of worry in their eyes.

Although Jiang Li had comforted them many times, saying that this royal temple was very safe and there would be no danger, they were still worried. After all, as the lady's personal maids, protecting the lady's safety was always their most important task.

After watching Chun Tao and Xia He leave, Jiang Li sighed softly. She knew that her two maids insisted on staying because they cared about her, but she really felt a little tired and needed to have a good rest.

Jiang Li slowly climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt over her, closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep. However, just as she fell asleep, a slight sound of a door opening suddenly reached her ears!

Jiang Li opened her eyes suddenly, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly. She stared at the door nervously, not knowing who was outside. Was it an assassin who broke in? Or someone else?

In the silent night, the sound of the door opening was particularly clear, like a sharp sword piercing the tranquility of the night sky. Various possible situations flashed through Jiang Li's mind, and she clutched the quilt tightly, her body trembling slightly.
