Her jaw was pinched hard, and Duanmu Qi stared at her and said, "If you dare to leave Dayao, I will destroy Southern Xinjiang."

Lin Zhiyi was frightened and trembled. She said angrily, "I said I wanted to be the high priest. I have my own family. Why can't I go back?"

"You belong to me, and you're not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Ah, Duanmu Qi! Did you change your face after you got it? If I had known, I would rather be your sister-in-law!"

Lin Zhiyi was so angry that she spoke without thinking, but she forgot what consequences these provocative words would bring to herself...

She was forced to stay in the imperial study day and night, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and even the Royal Concubine of the Moon Palace could not fall asleep at all day and night.

After enduring to the extreme, the last expensive ornament in the palace was scrapped and the imperial concubine could no longer bear it.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Come here, Princess Yunhuang is frightened, and I will go and comfort her. Go to the imperial study."

Although he came, she couldn't see him whenever she wanted. Le Xi stopped him at the door and persuaded him to leave by saying that the emperor and the princess had state affairs to discuss in detail.

Not only that, since that day, no one has seen Lin Zhiyi leave the imperial study.

The emperor never entered the harem or returned to his own bedroom. Except for attending court, he seemed to stay in the imperial study.

The imperial court and the imperial harem were all horrified. His Majesty's attitude had already been made public...

But no matter how noble Lin Zhiyi's status is, she has been married and is not a virgin. How can an emperor be so absurd!

Duanmu Qi was really ridiculous. Apart from attending court and meeting ministers when necessary, his desire to die before her frightened Lin Zhiyi.

The main reason was that she couldn't stand it. She completely couldn't understand how someone who was so restrained before could change his attitude overnight.

She didn't need to use any soft words or act coquettishly to get the bastard to let her out for some fresh air, but only in the Imperial Garden.

With Xiaotao following her, she didn't know the way to the palace, so her chances of getting out were slim.

"Oh!" He sat in the pavilion with a sad face, drinking tea and eating cakes. He was happy and relaxed, but he always felt like he was being kept in captivity.

"Princess...is this pastry not tasty? I'll get you some that you haven't tried before." Xiao Tao asked carefully. She knew exactly how hard the princess had been working lately.

Lin Zhiyi said calmly, "Go ahead."

When Xiao Tao left, she glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs guarding nearby. Thinking that this was the imperial palace and nothing would happen, she went to the imperial kitchen alone, intending to find some delicious food for the princess to cheer her up.

Not long after she left, Imperial Concubine Zhao Rong approached with her maid.

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately became alert.

Zhao Rong felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw this. His Majesty was actually protecting this bitch so much!

Holding back her temper, she said, "Princess Yunhuang, may I have a chat with you?"

Lin Zhiyi didn't want to bother with those things in Duanmu Qi's harem, and didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial concubine. However, the Gu spirit between her eyebrows was moving at this moment, and there was a person from southern Xinjiang among the imperial concubine's attendants!

Lin Zhiyi's gaze quickly stopped on a little maid who lowered her head. The other person's hand was casually making a three-shaped gesture at her waist.

Lin Zhiyi was confused. Third brother’s people?

What do you mean? Are you crazy to come to Dayao Palace to save her? If the people from Southern Xinjiang break into the forbidden palace and are exposed, won’t that bring disaster to Southern Xinjiang?

What on earth was Third Brother thinking?

But she was already here, and she couldn't just ignore it, so she let the imperial concubine come closer, stood up and saluted, saying, "Yun Huang greets the imperial concubine."

"Well, get up. You've been in the palace for a long time, and I haven't treated you well. How about you enjoy the flowers with me today?"

Lin Zhiyi guessed that the imperial concubine wanted to give some warning. It was inconvenient to have too many attendants here, which was also what she wanted. She also wanted to find out what her third brother's people wanted to do.

He nodded immediately, ordered most of the servants to stay where they were, and walked into the fragrant garden with only a few servants.

"Lin Zhiyi, how dare you, a married woman, pester His Majesty? Do you know that recently, because of you, the whole court has been full of rumors and gossips. These things have never been questioned even when His Majesty was a prince."

"You are the princess of Southern Border and the junior priestess of the Witchcraft Temple. Don't you have any shame at all? How is your behavior any different from those prostitutes?"

Lin Zhiyi didn't care what the imperial concubine said at all. Seeing the few people surrounding the imperial concubine without a trace, she asked in a subtle way, "Where did these servants of yours come from?"

The imperial concubine thought Lin Zhiyi was afraid, so she sarcastically said, "My Zhao family is a noble family of Dayao. These people were sent to the palace by the Zhao family to protect me. Your Majesty has always loved the Zhao family, so he will naturally allow such a small matter."

Lin Zhiyi retreated without leaving a trace: "Well... I feel something is wrong. Why did your people show knives to you?"

"Puchi!" A dagger pierced through the imperial concubine's vest, revealing the blood-red tip of the knife on her chest. The imperial concubine looked incredulous...

Lin Zhiyi's pupils also shrank slightly, and he turned around and wanted to run. There was only one person from Southern Xinjiang, but these ones were not!

The maid flew over, picked her up and left: "Don't be afraid, young priest, they are from Dayan and will not hurt you. Let's take advantage of the chaos and leave quickly."

Lin Zhiyi understood immediately and diverted the blame to someone else!

But why are the people of Dayan willing to take the blame for the third brother? Oh, right, the third brother is marrying the regent princess of Dayan. Could it be that the sister-in-law loves the regent princess so much that she saves her?

The next second he was slapped in the face.

The little girl who took her out of the palace quickly said quickly: "Young Priest, His Royal Highness the Third Prince agreed to marry the Regent Princess of Dayan in order to save you. We must leave Dayao, otherwise the Third Prince will have sacrificed his innocence in vain."

Lin Zhiyi: "..." Why couldn't she understand what was said? Who said that she needed her third brother to make such a sacrifice to save her?

Thinking of the memory of her third brother who loved to imagine and even fought to the death with Duanmu Yue, Lin Zhiyi rubbed her face woodenly. What kind of story had this man imagined for her?

The third brother loves her the most, but his behavior is also the most unreliable. She has experienced this thoroughly.

As soon as the two men reached the palace gate, they saw Duanmu Yue, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his men were waiting behind them.

Seeing the little maid being entangled, Lin Zhiyi's expression changed slightly and said, "Don't hurt her!"

Duanmu Yue picked her up and said, "Don't worry, we'll just knock him out and throw him out of the capital. As for that idiot from the Southern Territory, if it weren't for the Regent Princess of Dayan, his people wouldn't even be able to see you."

"Just follow me back to Yongzhou obediently. This time, I won't lose you again."

Lin Zhiyi said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty has touched me many times. Do you mind?"

The hand on her waist almost broke her bones for a moment, but Duanmu Yue hugged her tightly and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "I don't mind."

Lin Zhiyi sneered and obediently let Duanmu Yue hold her. Now that she was in his hands, it would not be easy for her to escape, and her witchcraft was ineffective against Duanmu Yue.

His eyes fell on the red string on her wrist. Giving this as a gift was sincere, but also foolish.

The black hair reflects the years, and the deep love and long-lasting feelings grow with the white hair.

With her black hair on his body, the Gu Spirit will not hurt Duanmu Yue...

Well, it’s not bad to be able to go back to Yongzhou. At least it’s close to southern Xinjiang, and it’s much easier to find a chance to go home than in the capital.

Duanmu Yue had obviously made preparations long ago. The people from Dayan who infiltrated the imperial concubine's circle might have been the work of this man. He left the capital and joined up with Zhu Fengjun's team, then rushed towards Yongzhou.
