Su Muxi grabbed her outer robe and wrapped it around herself. Her right hand was weak, so she managed to tie a knot around her waist. She held the dagger in her left hand and pressed it against the window frame.

She was too careless. She was thinking too much and didn't even notice someone approaching her. She gently lifted the window with the tip of her sword, and a fierce cold wind poured in. There was no trace of the person, only a small knife stuck on the window frame, with a letter covering it.

Su Muxi shivered as her skin, which had just been bathed, could not withstand the cold wind. She picked up the letter with her sword, closed the window, went to the inner room to put on her clothes, and then sat at the table to unfold the letter.

With just a few strokes, she wrote on a piece of brocade. It was the silk brocade she brought to save Su Yi at midnight tonight at Donghanpo.

Donghanpo is outside the city. Su Muxi was brought in by Jinling, so she cannot leave the city. Besides, the city is under martial law now. If she sneaks out at night and is caught, she will have no way to explain herself and will surely die.

But this person wrote Su Yi's name, so Su Muxi had to pay attention. The other party was afraid of being exposed, so he used the silk brocade she brought. The knife was also a very ordinary item, which was available in plenty in the blacksmith shop.

It shouldn't be the Second Prince, after all, he had already expressed his desire to meet him. But Yan Wu met Su Yi in Qingyuan, and the Second Prince would not let this news out.

Besides the man in black, the only one who knew about this was the man in disguise.

Su Muxi still couldn't guess who he was loyal to, but it was not difficult to guess that he was definitely in collusion with Prince Huaiyang.

It would definitely not be possible to go to the meeting alone, but Su Yi must be saved. Su Muxi closed her eyes. She had to think carefully.

The room became quiet, with only the whistling sound of the cold wind outside the window. Su Muxi seemed to be asleep and did not move for a long time.

Time passed quietly, and when the night completely enveloped the earth, Su Muxi finally moved. She called a few people, who were brought by Su Yi. Although they were not as good as Su Yi, they were all loyal.

She said a few words, and then saw Yingge coming downstairs, "Did something happen to the princess?"

"Prince Jingnan will send out troops in two days. I asked them to check the food and troops." Su Muxi looked at the tray in her hand, "How is Yan Wu?"

"Much better. I just took the medicine and went to bed."

Su Muxi hummed softly, and then warned: "Be careful with what you put into your mouth."

"Don't worry, Princess. Xiaoliu prepared the medicine personally, and I never let go of it when I was holding it."

"That's good," Su Muxi said after a moment's silence, "Since Yan Wu has fallen asleep, you can ask Xiao Liu to stay outside her window, and you can help me with something?"

Seeing Su Muxi's serious tone, Yingge immediately said, "The princess ordered."

Su Muxi whispered a few instructions, then took the tray from her hand, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, Princess."

Yingge bowed and prepared to leave, when with a clang, the window of the small hall on the second floor opened, and a cold wind blew into the room. The dim candlelight flickered a few times and then went out.

Fortunately, there was still candlelight on the first floor. Although the hall was dark, it was still possible to see things. Yingge walked upstairs and said, "I'll go close the window."

Su Muxi stretched out her hand to stop her, "Go do the work, I'll do it."

Yingge was startled, and looked at the princess's slender fingers on her arm, "Okay."

It was not until she walked out of the inn and felt the cold wind in her face that Yingge came to her senses. The princess had become thinner, with slender fingers and prominent wrist bones. However, the Acacia Tears bracelet hanging on the princess's wrist emitted a faint green light like phosphorescence.

This light and shadow did not exist at first. Yan Wu took it from the princess because she was curious and wanted to make medicine.

"No, no," Xiao Liuzi came over while she was thinking, "Sister Yingge, what are you standing there for?"

Yingge suddenly woke up. She looked at Xiao Liuzi and said, "Keep an eye on your sister Yanwu's room. I'm going to do something for the county lady."

"Don't worry! Sister Yingge, I will definitely protect Sister Yanwu."
