"Hmph, Chu Junze, Chu Junze, do you think I will believe you just because you say a few words?" Chu Jiahe suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the palace.

Chu Junze stared at her, quietly watching him go hysterical.

When she finally calmed down, Chu Junze threw the secret letter he had just received in front of her, sneered and said, "Don't cry until you see the coffin. I will naturally fulfill your wish."

Chu Jiahe didn't believe what he said at all. She just picked up the secret letter on the ground and read it carefully.

It was not until she finished reading the contents of the secret letter that she collapsed to the ground in complete despair.

Chu Junze looked down at her, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his coldness: "Chu Jiahe, you lose!"

"No! This is impossible! This is all fake!" Chu Jiahe shook her head desperately, tears blurring her eyes.

Chu Junze turned and left, leaving behind a cold remark: "The evidence is irrefutable, you cannot deny it. Tomorrow at noon, you will die."

Chu Jiahe felt hopeless, she knew she had no way out.

At this moment, her heart was filled with regret and unwillingness.

At night, Chu Jiahe sneaked out of the cell while the guards were not paying attention. She was unwilling to die like this. She had given so much for him, but he dared to betray her.

She had been playing with eagles for many years, but she never expected that she would be pecked in the eye by an eagle.

However, what she didn't know was that from the secret letter in the morning to her deliberate escape at night, it was all in order to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Otherwise, with her mediocre skills, she wouldn't be able to even unlock the door of the Sky Prison.

After Chu Jiahe escaped from the prison, he quietly sneaked into the residence of Marquis Qi.

She plans to steal a valuable treasure in exchange for her freedom and a chance at revenge.

She carefully searched for the treasure, secretly thanking herself for not triggering the trap. Just when she found the treasure she was looking for, she suddenly heard footsteps.

"Who's there?" came the guard's voice.

Chu Jiahe hid behind the bookshelf nervously, his heart beating rapidly.

She clenched the dagger in her hand, ready for a fight.

However, when the guards approached, she was surprised to find that the person coming was Qi Yu.

"It's you..." Chu Jiahe widened his eyes, the hatred in his heart was about to overflow, but nothing could be seen on his face.

Qi Yu smiled slightly, "It seems that our plan was successful, and Chu Junze was fooled."

Chu Jiahe then realized that everything was a trap set by Lin Yu, and she was just a chess piece he placed in the trap.

She felt extremely angry and disappointed, but there was no turning back now.

"Come with me, we have more important things to do." Qi Yu handed Chu Jiahe a key and motioned for her to open another door of the treasure house.

Chu Jiahe hesitated for a moment, but finally took the key. They left the treasure pavilion together and disappeared into the night.

Soon they came to a secluded courtyard.

The yard was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, and the surroundings were so quiet that it made people feel scared.

Qi Yu led Chu Jiahe into a secret room filled with various strange instruments and runes.

He pointed to a map on the wall and said, "This is the layout of the palace. Our next plan is to steal the imperial seal."

Chu Jiahe's eyes widened. "How is this possible? The palace is heavily guarded. How can we get in?"

Qi Yu smiled, took out a map from his arms, and said smugly: "This is the distribution map of the underground secret rooms in the palace.

As long as we find the right time, we can sneak into the palace without anyone noticing."

Chu Jiahe looked at the map, still full of doubts in her heart, but she knew there was no way out now.

Qi Yu seemed to see through her thoughts and said softly: "Don't worry, I have arranged everything. When night falls, we can take action."

Finally, after nightfall, Qi Yu and Chu Jiahe put on their night clothes and sneaked into the palace.

However, what they didn't know was that Long Yi and his companions had been following them silently in secret.

Following the instructions on the map, they successfully found the entrance to the underground secret room.

The entrance was heavily guarded, but Qi Yu used his exquisite martial arts skills to easily avoid all the patrolling soldiers.

After entering the secret room, they moved forward cautiously. When they finally touched the dragon table in the Qinzheng Hall, they finally saw the jade box containing the jade seal.

Just as they were about to take action, suddenly, countless torches lit up all around them, surrounding them.

Qi Yu and Chu Jiahe were shocked, and they immediately realized that they had fallen into a trap.

At this time, a low voice was heard: "Qi Yu, do you think your plan is perfect?" Long Yi walked in with a group of secret guards.

"Long Yi! How could it be you?" Chu Jiahe said in surprise.

"Every move you make is under our control." Chu Junze pointed at the secret guards around him, "This time, you won't be able to escape."

Qi Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, but he quickly calmed down, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to say. Even if I die here today, I won't let you get the jade seal!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand to grab the jade seal.

"Bold traitor!" Long Yi shouted, signaling the guards to go forward and capture Qi Yu and Chu Jiahe.

A fierce battle ensued. Qi Yu and Chu Jiahe fought the guards with all their might, but they were outnumbered. Gradually, they were forced into a desperate situation.

At the critical moment, Chu Jiahe threw out a dagger, stabbed Long Yi, and took advantage of the chaos to pull Qi Yu towards the exit of the secret passage.

"No need to chase them!" Chu Junze said coldly, "The Dragon Scale Guards will make sure they never return!"

Hearing this, all the secret guards put their swords back into their scabbards.

Chu Jiahe and Qi Yu ran wildly in the maze-like secret passage, their hearts filled with fear and despair.

Soon they lost their direction, and even forgot the way they came.

Suddenly, Chu Jiahe felt a strong breath approaching, and he quickly pulled Qi Yu into a fork in the road. The two held their breath and listened quietly to the movement outside.

After a while, they heard a noisy sound of footsteps and shouts, which gradually faded away. It seemed that the secret guards had not discovered their traces.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Chu Jiahe and Qi Yu continued to look for an exit in the secret passage.

However, the secret passage was as complicated as a maze. Just when they didn't know which way to go, two silver lights suddenly flashed, as fast as lightning.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed by, and everything happened so fast that people were caught off guard.

Before they could react, the corridor suddenly became silent.

The Dragon Scale Guards acted quickly and silently. They dragged the two bodies away at an astonishing speed and disposed of them properly.

It all happened so fast that Chu Jiahe and Qi Yu hardly noticed anything unusual.

At midnight, Chu Junze went to meet the leader of the Dragon Scale Guard in person. The two of them whispered to each other, as if they were discussing important matters.

Then they both disappeared into the darkness.
