I traveled through time with my best friend.

Huang Ya was frightened by Pei Zhijin's aura and quickly put his hand away and stepped back.

Pei Zhijin then put away his sword, looked at Jiang Xue and asked, "Do you have a way to make him speak?"

"Yes." Jiang Xue nodded and took out a small medicine bottle from her arms and threw it to Wen Chuan, saying, "Let him take this."

Wenchuan took the medicine bottle, poured out the pills and stuffed them into Huang Ya's mouth. Then he lifted Huang Ya's chin and forced him to swallow the medicine.

"Ahem...what did you give me to eat?" Huang Ya asked while retching.

Jiang Xue took a step forward and said with a smile: "A pill that will make you tell the truth."

Huang Ya's eyes tensed up after hearing this, and he became a little flustered. He bit his lips tightly and didn't say anything.

Jiang Xue looked at Huang Ya's reaction and the corners of her mouth curled up. As expected...she guessed right, this man was not firm in his will.

He slowly asked, "Do you feel like your heart is burning?"

After hearing this, Huang Ya covered his chest, as if he felt his heart was burning.

"The burning sensation in your chest is just the beginning. Later, you will feel something running around in your body, and then that wandering thing will begin to paralyze your brain nerves until you lose consciousness. When you tell all the secrets in your heart, you will be close to death."

Huang Ya panicked, and then he felt something running wild in his body. He looked at Jiang Xue in panic and said, "I...I won't believe it."

"Hmph, then let's take a look. You can't see the back anyway." Jiang Xue shook her head regretfully.

The more Huang Ya's heart beat, the more he felt something running wild inside his body. Thinking that he would die soon, he became even more frightened and hurried forward to grab the corner of Jiang Xue's skirt.

Pei Zhijin gently pulled Jiang Xue to his side. Huang Ya missed and fell to the ground. Despite this, Huang Ya still crawled forward and looked at Jiang Xue anxiously and said, "I will tell you everything I know. I don't want to die."

Jiang Xue glanced at Wenchuan, who nodded and looked at Huang Ya, saying coldly, "Speak!"

Huang Ya nodded repeatedly and said anxiously, "Someone gave me money to create panic in the capital. If the hospitals in the capital are still admitting patients, I will incite the people to smash the hospitals."

"Who is that person?"

"I don't know. He was wearing a mask and I didn't see him."

Jiang Xue frowned slightly and asked, "I can always tell by the voice, and the clothes she's wearing?"

Huang Ya's brain was recalling rapidly, fearing that he would die in the next second, and he said: "From the voice, it seems that he is a young man, wearing..." Huang Ya paused, then looked at Jiang Xue and said: "The clothes he wore are not our Chi Li's clothes. His clothes are embroidered with special flowers, I don't recognize them."

Jiang Xue immediately thought of the national flower of the Southern Territory that Mu Feng had mentioned before. She thought for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Where did you meet him?"

"It was too dark that night, and he took me to an alley nearby. He knocked me out, and when I woke up, I was in my residence."

Jiang Xue looked at Huang Ya carefully, and confirmed that he was not lying, then looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Let's go."

Pei Zhijin nodded, and he and Jiang Xue were about to turn around and leave.

Huang Ya hurried forward and shouted, "Where's the antidote? Give me the antidote!"

Wenchuan kicked Huang Ya and said coldly: "You also want to make money from the national crisis, you are not worthy of being a Chili person."

Jiang Xue turned to look at Huang Ya and said to Wen Chuan, "He is of no value now. Deal with him according to the Chili Law."

"Yes."

Huang Ya stared at Jiang Xue with wide eyes, and then he realized that the medicine he had just fed him was not poison. His face became ferocious, and he immediately got up from the ground and pounced on Jiang Xue, shouting, "You lied to me!"

Wenchuan quickly grabbed Huang Ya and knocked him to the ground with his backhand. His men at the side immediately captured Huang Ya.

Jiang Xue looked at Huang Ya and said slowly, "If you weren't guilty, you wouldn't have been fooled."

"you....."

"Take him away." Wenchuan ordered from the side.

After Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue came out of the imperial prison, they walked slowly on the desolate street. Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "How much do you know about the Southern Territory?"

Pei Zhijin paused, looked at Jiang Xue and asked, "Are you talking about wisteria?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded.

Pei Zhijin's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked, "Where have you found out?"

Jiang Xue did not hide anything and told Pei Zhijin everything she knew. After all, only by exchanging information could they piece together other useful information.

"I have been sending people to follow Qing Ye, and I suspect that Qing Ye has some relationship with the people of the Southern Region?"

Pei Zhijin stared at Jiang Xue with his deep eyes. The sky was dyed with red clouds. The afterglow of the red clouds sprinkled on Jiang Xue's shoulders and merged with the red clouds. The clouds looked like cotton wool sprayed with red.

It makes people imagine.

Jiang Xue saw Pei Zhijin staring at her in a daze, thinking that he wanted to ask her why she knew all this, so she continued, "I didn't tell you before that we had peach blossom letters delivered to us on the way back. That was the news from the Secret Shadow Hall."

Pei Zhijin suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the three words "Secret Shadow Hall", "Secret Shadow Hall?"

Jiang Xue nodded, "You should have heard of the Secret Shadow Hall, right?"

Pei Zhijin nodded slightly, the surprise in his eyes dissipated, and said: "Secret Shadow Hall is a very mysterious organization. I feel relieved to have him behind you."

Jiang Xue nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Wanhetang is a stronghold. If you want to know any news, you can go there to find Mu Feng in the future."

"Mu Feng?" Pei Zhijin asked again.

Jiang Xue was slightly stunned and asked, "Do you know him?"

If he remembered correctly, the old man in the Secret Shadow Hall had a son named Mu Feng.

Pei Zhijin's expression changed, and he said softly, "Nothing." Then he changed the subject and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry." Then the next second, her stomach made a rumbling sound.

Jiang Xue: “….”

Pei Zhijin's lips curved slightly, and then he said with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "We are just in front of Baoyue Tower, let's go in and have something to eat?"

Jiang Xue nodded embarrassedly.

Pei Zhijin took the lead and walked towards Baoyue Tower. Jiang Xue followed behind him with a look of social despair on her face. Oh my god, why did her stomach suddenly growl at this time?

In Baoyue Tower, due to the flower Gu incident, there were not many people in the store, and the waiter was leaning on the counter with his eyes narrowed.

Pei Zhijin tapped the table lightly, and the waiter suddenly woke up, climbed up from the counter, looked at Pei Zhijin, stretched and said, "What do you two want to eat?"

"Just bring whatever you have." Pei Zhijin said.

The waiter nodded and said, "We only have vegetarian food now, is that okay, sir?"

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue, and Jiang Xue asked, "Do you have any wine?"

"Yes." The waiter nodded.

"Then bring two pots of peach blossom wine and some vegetarian food." Jiang Xue said gently.

The waiter brought hot tea to Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue and then went to the kitchen to inform the cook to start working.

Since there was no one there, Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue chose a seat in the corner on the first floor and sat down.

Hearing the sound of tea pouring into the cup, Jiang Xue suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the first time she and Pei Zhijin had eaten at the same table.

Before, she, Yiyi, and Wang Ziyan always ate at the same table outside, and Pei Zhijin rarely sat with them to eat.

Later on, some misunderstandings occurred. Jiang Xue sat there, and her mind suddenly recalled everything that had happened between her and Pei Zhijin.

It seemed like the two of them were always missing each other.

Pei Zhijin pushed the freshly poured teacup towards Jiang Xue. Seeing Jiang Xue staring at the shiny black table in a daze, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Xue immediately came back to her senses, met Pei Zhijin's calm eyes, and shook her head, "Nothing."

Pei Zhijin didn't say anything, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Xue blurted out, "Has Miss Han returned to the capital?"

As soon as she said this, Jiang Xue regretted it. She knew that Han Qingqing liked Pei Zhijin, but she still asked such a question. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

Then he pretended to ask casually and picked up the teacup to hide his nervousness.

"She has returned to the capital."

"Oh." Jiang Xue nodded slightly and didn't say anything else, but the grip on the teacup in her hand tightened a little. Was she living in Pei Zhijin's house?

Just as I finished thinking, Pei Zhijin's voice rang out, "She is in Brother Gu's house."

Jiang Xue looked up at Pei Zhijin and asked in a panic, "I didn't want to ask that."

Pei Zhijin nodded slightly, "I know."

Jiang Xue put down the teacup in her hand, and the tense nerves relaxed. She said, "I'll let Mu Feng tell you the news about Qing Ye later."

"it is good."

While the two were talking, the waiter came over with a few plates of vegetarian food and peach blossom wine.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal."

Pei Zhijin nodded slightly. Jiang Xue looked at the exquisitely presented dish. She was so hungry that she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of vegetarian roast goose and put it into her mouth.

Then his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Pei Zhijin and nodded, "Try it, it's delicious."

Pei Zhijin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece and put it into his mouth.

"How is it?" Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin expectantly.

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue and nodded, "It's delicious."

Jiang Xue raised the corner of her mouth, poured a glass of peach blossom wine and handed it to Pei Zhijin, "Drink some?"

Pei Zhijin took the wine glass and took a sip, while Jiang Xue took a big sip. The fresh fragrance of peach blossoms spread in her mouth, and Jiang Xue was very satisfied.

Little did they know that upstairs, a pair of eyes were staring at them.

Seeing Jiang Xue talking and laughing with Pei Zhijin downstairs, Li Lingxuan's face darkened. Mu Qi, who was standing beside him, looked like his own prince and dared not breathe.

After a moment, Li Lingxuan said, "What did you just say?"

Mu Qi quickly said, "Hongying has been discovered by Prince Yan. She just sent a message, hoping that the prince can save her."

Li Lingxuan showed an impatient expression, and he slowly twisted the bodhi beads in his hand. After a long time, he said, "Go and bring her back."

"Yes."

After Mu Qi left, Li Lingxuan began to stare at Jiang Xue downstairs through the screen again. The Bodhi beads he was twisting in his hand broke because he used too much force.

The beads scattered on the ground with a crackling sound, and Pei Zhijin immediately looked upstairs.

He met Li Lingxuan's deep and sharp eyes.

Jiang Xue followed Pei Zhijin's gaze and saw Li Lingxuan had already walked out from behind the screen.

He leaned on the railing and looked at Jiang Xue. The sharpness on his face was gone. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Miss Jiang, what a coincidence."

Jiang Xue suddenly lost her mood and put down her wine glass, "Why are you here?"

"This is a place for eating. What do you think I am doing here?"

Pei Zhijin stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to King Cheng."

"No thanks." Li Lingxuan said lazily, and then walked down from upstairs. He sat on the stool next to Jiang Xue without any hesitation and said, "It's really boring for me to eat alone. Why don't we eat together?"

"We've already eaten." Jiang Xue refused directly, stood up and pulled Pei Zhijin to leave.

"I do know some ways to deal with the flower poison..."

Jiang Xue paused. Yes, she had forgotten that King Cheng was also a very cunning man. How could he sit idly by when such a big thing happened in the capital?

Jiang Xue glanced at Pei Zhijin, who nodded slightly, and then they both sat back down.

"Tell me, what have you found out?" Jiang Xue went straight to the point.

The waiter respectfully brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Li Lingxuan. Li Lingxuan glanced at the peach blossom wine in front of Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue placed the bottle of wine in front of Li Lingxuan and said, "If you want to drink, pour it yourself."

Li Lingxuan frowned slightly, but did not reach out to pour himself a glass of wine. How could a prince like him pour himself a glass of wine?

Pei Zhijin said, "Your Majesty, please tell me what you know. I'm sure you don't want the people in the capital to panic."

"Heh." Li Lingxuan smiled casually, looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "That guy in the palace is really good at finding helpers. Why don't you consider following me?"

"Your Highness, please stop joking," Pei Zhijin said coldly.

Jiang Xue said impatiently: "If the prince doesn't say anything, don't waste our time. We have other things to do."

"Didn't the king say it or not?" Li Lingxuan looked at Jiang Xue.

"Then what is the prince waiting for?" Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows slightly.

Li Lingxuan remembered that Jiang Xue poured wine for Pei Zhijin, so he said again: "The king is thirsty."

"Then Your Majesty must be thirsty, right?" Jiang Xue stood up and was about to turn around and leave.

Li Lingxuan held his forehead with some helplessness and said: "The flower poison incident was caused by someone from the Southern Region, and this person from the Southern Region is working for the Mobei Kingdom."

Pei Zhijin frowned and asked, "Your Highness, what you mean is... someone from Mobei has infiltrated?"

"kindness."

Jiang Xue sat down. It seemed that her previous guess was correct. It was a conspiracy of the enemy country.

Li Lingxuan looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Zhan Jing from Mobei disappeared a few days ago. He must have sneaked into the capital. The person in the palace probably hasn't noticed the foreign threat yet, right?"

Pei Zhijin understood what Li Lingxuan meant. All the things happened at the same time, with external and internal troubles. Even if the emperor had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to take care of them all. He could only take care of one and not the other. What's more, the empress dowager was still making trouble in secret.

Li Lingxuan kindly reminded, "I love to watch the fun, but Zhan Jing happened to come and cause trouble. I kindly remind you to be careful at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Then he stood up and said, "Ah, that's boring. I'd better go upstairs and drink alone."

Just as she was about to turn around, she caught a glimpse of a small pink bug that had appeared on Jiang Xue's shoulder.
