Xiao Heng sipped his tea leisurely, but the rustling sound of people changing clothes coming from the room made him unable to remain calm any longer.

He squeezed the teacup in his hand tighter and tighter, and his ears gradually turned red.

Cough! Xiao Heng coughed lightly: "All of you get out."

Wen Ji and Lu Ji were standing at the door, confused as to what was going on. Wen Ji wanted to ask something, but was pulled out by Lu Ji.

The door curtain in the room was lifted, and Jiu Ning walked out in a red dress, which matched the clothes on Xiao Heng.

Jiu Ning stood in front of the man and turned around gently. Her red dress moved in the wind, bright and charming. "Does it look good?"

The smile in Xiao Heng's eyes became more and more obvious: "It looks good. Wear red from now on. It suits you very well."

Jiu Ning, with a malicious smile, leaned forward and said, "Xiao Heng, are you tempted?"

Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, then moved closer, unwilling to admit defeat: "Could it be that I am not worthy of my lady's eyes?"

Jiu Ning boldly reached out and pinched the other person's chin, with a teasing look on his face: "Xiao Heng, you are so beautiful, I'm afraid I can't keep you!"

"Then let me take care of you." His voice was low and hoarse, very ambiguous.

Jiuning felt a little moved. This man's eyes were so easy to fall into.

No, what if I become a widow? No matter how good-looking a man is, it’s useless if I can’t see him anymore! Stay away from him.

Xiao Heng watched the affection in the other's eyes slowly fade away, and subconsciously reached out, grabbed the pair of white jade wrists, and gently pulled them into his arms.

"Don't go to Prime Minister Li's residence again. It's too dangerous. I don't want you to go."

Jiu Ning was held in his arms, and she didn't dare to move, nor did she want to move. What should she do? She couldn't control herself.

"Okay, I won't go back, but where am I going to live? I don't want to live in that spider room."

"Just live in my house, next to me."

Xiao Heng's voice whispered in his ear, just like hitting Jiuning's heart directly, making him feel itchy.

"No, what's the point of living in your house?"

"Do you still want to learn martial arts that allow you to fly? Come here and I will teach you." Xiao Heng spoke directly to tempt him.

Jiu Ning's heart was moved again: "Xiao Heng, I still have my martial arts secrets, do you want to practice with me?"

Xiao Heng felt that the person in his arms was particularly soft, and it felt right no matter how he held her. He was reluctant to let go, and his arms couldn't help but tighten.

"Although I'm reluctant, I still want to go back to Prime Minister Li's residence."

"Be good and listen to me. It's too dangerous in Li Xiang's residence."

Jiu Ning couldn't help but look up: "It's because of the danger that I want to go. Believe me, although I have only practiced this footwork for a short time, it is very powerful. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

As she spoke, she broke free from Xiao Heng's arms and demonstrated the Lingbo Weibu in the house.

When she was running faster and faster and feeling proud, she saw that Xiao Heng had no intention of getting up, but was just looking at her with admiration, so she stopped and tempted her.

"If you can catch me, I will agree to live in your house," he said, raising his eyebrows and challenging the other party.

Xiao Heng grinned and burst into laughter, then strode towards Jiu Ning. The two chased each other in the narrow space.

Jiuning's footwork was indeed amazing. Xiao Heng tried to grab the corner of his clothes several times, but he slipped away every time. This made him feel a little relieved.

Afterwards, Jiu Ning gave Xiao Heng a set of internal skills of the Nine Yang Divine Art and drew him some drawings of bows and crossbows. The two chatted until the afternoon and after dinner, he finally convinced Xiao Heng.

As soon as he reached the gate of Li's house, he met Li Lian and Li Jin who were coming back from school. Li Lian immediately walked forward quickly like a little pug. Jiu Ning did not have a cold face either, but chatted and laughed with the two of them in a gentle manner.

At night, Jiu Ning sat on the bed and practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, but she couldn't do it right every time. After trying several times, she had to give up again.

She changed into the red dress Xiao Heng gave her. The other side of the dress was black, which made it very convenient to move around at night.

In the second half of the night, when it was quiet and no one was around, Jiu Ning quietly went out and explored every corner of the mansion, imprinting the map of the mansion in his mind. Before dawn, he came to the study, but he did not dare to break in.

She could sense that there were many more secret guards around than in other places, and rushing in rashly would only alert the enemy.

Just when I was thinking about whether to leave, I saw a man wearing a black hat that covered himself tightly. He was led towards me. At the same time, the light in the study was quietly turned on.

What did the two talk about in the study? Jiuning was too far away to hear, but when Li Zhongnan escorted the man out, the man's poor Dayan dialect made her even more suspicious.

She hid in the dark and did not move. After the study became quiet again, she quietly returned to the yard.

She was patient. For half a month, she squatted near the study late at night, but never went close.

On this day, the man who wrapped himself tightly came again, and the two of them went to the study to have a secret talk. Jiu Ning was very annoyed because he couldn't enter the study and couldn't get any useful information.

But God still loved her. When the two of them came out, Li Zhongnan said to the man earnestly, "Go back and tell King Cheng that I will definitely take care of this matter."

Jiuning was shocked. This Li Zhongnan was indeed King Cheng's man, but the man opposite him did not speak with the accent of Dayan.

She still knew too little information, so she could only write it all down and analyze it with Xiao Heng later.

I heard the man in black opposite me giving some instructions, and his tone was very dissatisfied, as if he had messed up something before.

"Prince Cheng is in urgent need of money. You need to put more effort into the Ye family in Luyang. If Ye Shijie doesn't know what's best for him, just kill him."

The Ye family in Luyang, isn't that her grandmother's home? When she was a child, she was deceived by Ji Shuran, which betrayed her grandmother's kindness and hurt her heart. If there is a chance, she should make amends.

She couldn't just leave the Ye family alone. It seemed like it was time to leave.

Over the past half month, the surface injuries on her body have almost healed, but she still feels a dull pain in her muscles and bones, especially when she is exercising, which is unbearable. The doctor is hesitant to speak and refuses to tell the truth.

On the second day, before Jiu Ning could write to Xiao Heng, he brought his men directly to Prime Minister Li's residence.

This time Li Zhongnan did not stop him, and Jiuning left smoothly. However, she still felt unhappy when she met Li Lian's calculating eyes.

After getting on the carriage, Xiao Heng hugged the person he had been thinking about day and night tightly in his arms, and Jiu Ning also stretched out her little hand to embrace her slender waist.

The feeling immediately made her lustful. Her hands and heart were itchy, and she touched it unconsciously, which made Xiao Heng feel embarrassed.

Wow, quite innocent. When Xiao Heng was not prepared, Jiuning's small hands slipped into his clothes and touched his abdominal muscles.

Xiao Heng's body immediately tensed up, his cheeks flushed, and he reached out to hold down the two rebellious hands.

Fearing that Jiuning was about to do something, he could only quickly change the subject: "Tong'er came to my house looking for you. She said that Prime Minister Jiang is holding a coming-of-age ceremony for his third daughter tomorrow, and Madam Jiang wants to invite you over to give you a surprise."
