After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Feng Qingtan didn't understand, "What do you mind?"

What do you mind?

Yuan Ge shook her head silently without explaining... She didn't know how to explain at all.

Jin Su once hysterically laughed at Yuan Ge for being stupid and foolish, saying that she naively believed until her death that everyone on Zhixuan Mountain was harmonious, not knowing how many people she had blocked and how many people wanted to get rid of her.

Zhuang Lichuan also said that if there was really someone on Zhixuan Mountain who wanted to kill Yuan Ge, it must be Zhan Yanfeng. Although this statement was intended to clear the suspect, it also showed that Zhan Yanfeng was not innocent either.

But...why is it Zhan Yanfeng?

Yuan Ge knew that Zhan Yanfeng didn't like him, but that "dislike" was probably because of his rebellious and unruly behavior. At most, he just didn't like it and tried to ignore it. How could Zhan Yanfeng, who strictly abided by the rules of etiquette, want to get rid of him just because of these contradictions?

Therefore, even though their relationship was once very tense, Yuan Ge never thought that Zhan Yanfeng would attack him.

That man was too upright and stubborn. While he did not allow others to deviate from the norm, he also built an indestructible cage for himself. He locked himself in the cage called "rules and etiquette" for decades, like a pure-hearted and indifferent monk.

Yes, how could such a Zhan Yanfeng have a confidante? How could such a Zhan Yanfeng commit so many sins as to kill people?

……

At night, the mountain wind blew through the green leaves and dead branches, and the shadows of the trees in the dimly lit path were eerie, as if ghosts and monsters were wandering back and forth whimpering.

The medicine garden is located in a remote area, with several uninhabited guest houses nearby. Usually, few people walk around. But tonight is different. Two people in black night clothes lowered their heads and passed through the grove at a very fast speed, sneaking into the yard where Hong Lan was imprisoned without any obstruction.

Both of them were small and thin, and it was difficult to tell whether they were male or female.

One of them crept to the window, pried it open with skillful means, and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw that the quilt was slightly pulled up under the curtain, which was not lowered, and the person was sleeping soundly with his back to the outside.

The man who pried the window looked a bit erratic. He turned around and chuckled, "This yard really has no guards but only maids and old women... These officials from Shengjing are really careless. Do they think that a weak girl can't escape from the endless Zhixuan Mountains?" After saying that, he smiled, as if mocking the officials from Shengjing for being too naive.

Judging from the voice, it's a young man.

The other was more cautious and prudent. Hearing this, he gently rebuked, "It is a taboo to underestimate the enemy. Be careful and don't make any mistakes... Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences later!"

The man in front swiftly rolled over and entered the house, turned back and responded with a smile, "I know, I know. Didn't I put sleeping pills in their dinner in advance? Nothing will go wrong. Besides, I've checked. No one will pass by here after dark. Don't worry!" After that, he walked to the bedside in the dim moonlight, lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was lying with her back to him. She was sleeping soundly, with half of her head buried in the quilt, leaving only her long ink-black hair spread out on the pillow like waves in the middle of the night.

The young man was distracted for a moment, and after a while he pressed his lips together, held the dagger in his hand behind him, and murmured in a low voice, "You should do it... I really can't bring myself to kill a girl like her."

The steady young man behind him also shook his head and sighed. He took the dagger from the other party and walked forward slowly, raising the dagger towards the person on the bed. The dim moonlight shone on the wall inside the house, casting a sharp shadow with murderous intent. However, his tone of voice was calm with a hint of smile, "I followed you here because I knew you couldn't do it... When will you grow up?"

The lively boy's eyes fell on the dark shadow. After a while, he turned his back and called softly, "Brother... I don't want to kill anyone."

Who likes to kill people? The steady young man smiled for a moment, and the dagger in his hand tightened suddenly. Without hesitation, he stabbed the drugged girl who was sleeping with her back to them.

"Ding."

Something flew in from the open window and hit the dagger directly. The boy's palm of the hand trembled and numbed. The dagger fell on the bedding, and then his hair, which was blown up by the strong wind, slowly fell down.

A light laugh was heard. “If the officials from Shengjing don’t take it lightly, with the mediocre poisoning skills of you two brothers, I’m afraid the person will be captured before he even enters the yard… How can this play go on?” The woman who had been sleeping with her back to them slowly turned around and looked at them. Her dark pupils were clear and bright. How could she look like she had been drugged at all?

The most important thing is that this person is not Hong Jie'er at all, but... Wen Qian!

Fell into a trap!

"Come on!"

The young man called "Brother" grabbed his stunned brother and backed towards the door. He didn't know the strength of the other party, but he saw the silver hairpin that knocked his dagger down. The hairpin was nailed to the wall through the curtain, and half of it was nailed into the wall.

This skill...I am far from it.

Moreover, the young lady of the Bo Mansion was used as bait, and there were probably more than just this one expert lying in wait. The most important thing now was not to complete the mission, but to escape with his brother! To survive!

But it was too late.

There was an ambush outside the window, and naturally there was one outside the door... In the courtyard where there was no sound when they came in, a man was standing there with a torch in his hand. Seeing that the two of them were still motionless, he just grinned and said, "Since you two are here, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

The gate was blocked, so he naturally had to climb over the wall. But when he turned around, he saw another guard standing in the dark, with his arms folded, not saying a word. He looked even more difficult to deal with than the previous one.

And the younger brother that she was holding looked like he was about to cry.

The young man looked at Lin Mu, then at Yan Huo, and finally his sight fell on Song Wenyuan who was sitting next to him and drinking tea leisurely. He relaxed his hands and knelt down neatly, "I was the one who drugged him, I pried open the window, and I was the one who assassinated him... This matter has nothing to do with my brother, please let him go."

Under the torch, Guard Lin Mu raised his eyebrows visibly: Is that it? Were these two cowards really sent out by the Third Elder to silence them after painstaking planning for many days?

Not to mention Lin Mu, even Song Wenyuan and Yuan Ge were a little surprised.

Song Wenyuan glanced at Yuan Ge, who was standing by the window in his clothes, his eyes were dark and his lips curled slightly, "Whether he can survive depends on whether you cooperate with us."
