My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Xiao Yunjin walked into the backyard of the palace with familiarity. This was clearly his home, but it felt unfamiliar everywhere.

Cang Shu came forward, bowed to him respectfully, and called him "Prince".

Xiao Yunjin waved his hand and asked people to leave.

Cang Shu is Cang Jue's elder brother, who is in charge of the entire palace and is the only person in the palace who knows his true identity.

Xiao Yunjin didn't think about anything else and walked into Jiang Wanning's dormitory.

Jiang Wanning lay weakly on the bed, looking pale and feeble.

When she saw him come in, she shrank back in fear and struggled to sit up, but collapsed again due to weakness.

The collar slipped down, revealing a snow-white neck, pale and fragile.

Xiao Yunjin had no interest in her pretending to be weak and pitiful. He glanced at her casually and then turned his eyes away. "Who is the person next to Jiang Mingxuan?"

"I can't even get out of bed now, what else can I know?" Jiang Wanning's heart tightened, and he pulled the quilt up to cover his panic, "Cousin, I did everything you asked me to do. For the sake of King Jin, please don't hurt the baby in my belly anymore."

Xiao Yunjin had never touched this woman before. When he learned that she was pregnant, he really wanted to kill her with a sword. He originally wanted to get rid of the child and keep this woman in captivity, but he didn't expect that the child was actually He Yuncheng's.

He Yuncheng, as his substitute, has helped him block injuries many times, and now his life is hanging by a thread. If he doesn't survive, this child will become his only offspring. He can only keep the child behind for the time being.

But hidden dangers also followed. With Prince Jin's posthumous son and Prince Huaiyang eyeing him covetously from behind, the situation he created no longer had any advantages.

If you can't stay out of it, you can only participate in it.

"The child will be fine," Xiao Yunjin suppressed his annoyance, "Jiang Mingxuan was poisoned in prison, doesn't the princess want to find the murderer?"

"Young Marquis He, your lovely wife is in prison and you murdered my cousin. Are you looking for a scapegoat?"

Xiao Yunjin confirmed that Jiang Wanning knew about this, so he didn't plan to stay any longer. "Princess Jin is ill in bed, and she is well-informed. Since she doesn't know, I will take my leave now."

He came and went in a hurry. Did you really think that her Prince Jin's Mansion would become a decoration without Xiao Yunjin?

Jiang Wanning watched He Yuncheng leave without looking back. She lowered her eyes and looked at her bulging belly, a cruel smile slowly forming at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Yunjin has only been dead for a few months, and you want to seek asylum elsewhere. You have to see if I agree.

-

"Master, something happened!" Feiying knelt on the ground, his clothes stained with blood. His voice was filled with anxiety and self-blame. "My wife was kidnapped, and I was defeated and was discovered after following her."

It really was one thing after another. Xiao Yunjin's face turned cold in an instant, and the black jade pendant was held tightly in his hand.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"Only one person," Feiying lowered his head, not daring to look Xiao Yunjin in the eye. He knew he had made a big mistake and put his wife in danger.

There is only one person, and that can only be the guard beside Jiang Mingxuan.

Su Muxi is fickle in her actions, and a medicine bottle cannot convict her of a crime. She must have some purpose in voluntarily being detained.

But looking at the injuries on Feiying's body, he felt anxious, as the muscle softening powder on Su Muxi's body had not yet been dissolved.

"Tell me! Where was the last place the lady disappeared?" There was a hint of urgency in his voice, which he himself did not even notice.

Feiying raised his head, glanced at Xiao Yunjin, then quickly lowered his head and said, "My Lord, the last place Madam disappeared was on the wild hillside outside the city."

Xiao Yunjin's heart sank, not because of how dangerous that place was.

The wild hillside was overgrown with weeds, blocking out the sun inside; the autumn wind blew away the fallen leaves, and horses passed by without leaving any trace.

According to the time reported by Feiying, the two of them and their horse must have already left the wild hillside.

Suburbs of Beijing, Guanshan City, or Huaiyang Territory, where was she taken?

"Flying Eagle stays here, Cang Jue dispatches thirty secret guards to chase in the direction of the suburbs of Beijing, Guanshan City, and Huaiyang Territory."

Xiao Yunjin stood up and walked out, "Furui, Fuxing, follow me to the wild hillside."

It was already dark, a good time to hide our whereabouts.

After passing the wild grass slope outside and entering the tangled forest, even the trace of moonlight disappeared.

Xiao Yunjin took out a night-shining pearl to use as a light so that he could see clearly and avoid bumping into the tree.

The ground was covered with dead branches and leaves so thick that even horses had to walk slowly. It was indeed so thick that it blocked out the sun.

It would be impossible to find any clues if they continued like this. Xiao Yunjin asked Fuxing and Furui to stop and prepare to withdraw. They should walk around the wild grass slope to see if there were any signs of the horses leaving.

The accident happened in a flash. Xiao Yunjin noticed the fallen leaves falling on his body. He looked up and saw a dark shadow falling from the sky in the dim light.

Before he could think, Ye Mingzhu was thrown up by him. He turned over and got off the horse. He hit the horse again, making it run to avoid it. At the same time, he reminded Fuxing and Furui, "There is an ambush in the tree."

The two men apparently reacted and drew their swords to block.

With a bang, the heavy object fell to the ground, splashing fallen leaves all over the ground.

The night-shining pearl and the person were buried in the fallen leaves, and the forest returned to its original darkness.

This was convenient for Xiao Yunjin, as the darkness gave him enough sense of security.

No need to worry about others discovering that he knows martial arts.

These people were not easy to deal with. The darkness gave him a sense of security and also protected his opponents. He didn't know how many people the other side had, whether they were specifically sent to assassinate him or to investigate Su Muxi's whereabouts.

Is it the second prince, the sixth prince, or the person who has been chasing him.
